‘Come on now, it shouldn’t be that bad… I mean, I can help Cevahir-min walk by supporting him with my arm–’True, Cevahir was part of the draconic race, highly revered among mankind and all other living races.There wouldn’t be any negative repercussions attached to her name for assisting someone of dragon-blood. In fact, if Gil were to report this to the crown or swear upon his knighthood that she did aid a member of the draconic race, she might be forgiven for taking more of the Dragon Lord’s elixir for herself.In all honesty, this was precisely why she didn't fear any punishment if discovered. She not only stole from the secret safe but also used every drop of the elixir in her possession.Because Gil, her knight, was alive, he could testify on her behalf that it was used to aid a supreme being. Perhaps, it would be her only salvation.As a princess, she couldn’t casually touch any men. Even the slightest physical contact with anyone outside her maids in propriety would stir enoug

It wasn’t hard to understand what’s all of this about now that she had heard enough. Serein wanted to speak; wanted to tell the spirit that she’s not planning to be what he had feared. However, she wasn’t able to mention it fast enough when the other continued.{I’ve been watching over you ever since you arrived at this place.}Finally stopping his agitated movements, the spirit actually faced Serein as he spoke of what he had seen.{I admit that you have great knowledge about the past events, coupled with the courage of the hero that I assume you've been idolizing and wishing to be. You are indeed excellent. Despite that, I do dislike how you are too willing to sacrifice all of that like a brainless mongrel that has no goal in life.}He pointed out her mistake with a resentful stare. Despite the unclear face she’s seeing, Serein could feel the spirit's judging gaze being aimed at her as he said,{Comradeship is beautiful and all, but would it all be worth it if you died there and the

Mind clouded with doubt, Serein was about to retract the assurance she had just uttered when—“It might be safe, but I think it’ll be wise to stick close to each other in case anything were to happen?”—Almost as if reading her thought process, Cherry chimed in and mentioned what had been bothering the adventurer.“That’d be ideal, but we won't be able to find what we’re looking for at the given time if we’re not spreading the search.”Plus, their time was further cut short due to the fact that Cevahir was still very likely fending off Aidou on their behalf, or at least managing to somehow keep the said guardian busy in the meantime— He could have died if they wasted more time by acting leisurely here.“Search?” Cherry scrunched her face in confusion and asked, “What do you mean we have to search for it? I thought you said you know where the herb is located.”“Well, yes. I know where we can find it.” Serein smiled, which, at first, gave Cherry some sort of relief; even so, she soon re

“The other plants don’t look as pretty, though. Oh, and also, little human? Ai-chi told me to tell you that we’ve got the flower. It’s in the bag.”Pam casually said as he pointed to the magic bag that Cherry was holding with his tail before climbing onto the adventurer’s shoulder. Because unlike the blinking duo, that baby Wyrm knew that their task had been fulfilled, and they’d likely head home soon.“By the way, little human? How do you know about Ai-chi? Can you see spirits as I do?”Serein, who was wondering who this ‘Ai-chi’ that the young hatchling was talking about, finally realized that he’s likely talking about Aiston, the spirit that took a raincheck on their contract just a couple of minutes ago."I… No, I can't see Ai-min now. But, hmm… You can say that I befriended him when I fell asleep earlier."Trying to put up a smile despite how vexed she felt, Serein hummed to herself.'That jerk– So, he could have notified us earlier that we've acquired the flower, yet he didn't d

Since Cevahir did have 'save points' in his lair, a teleportation spell could easily be cast. As a matter of fact, he was only still around and hadn't done that yet, despite getting injured, because he was worried and waiting for Pam to return.In all honesty, he wasn’t expecting them to continue on their journey. He had told Serein to get the young wyrm out of harm's way, not really caring if the two humans would get injured at the moment.Two mere human women he met for less than a week; it was good enough that he didn't despise humans enough to kill them on sight.If anything, he was enticed with rage when he realized that the two were not fleeing off the scenes as he instructed. Furthermore, they took Pam with them.Cevahir was definitely enraged.However, to his dismay, he couldn’t follow their track as easily with that old snail bastard standing in the way.And that's how he ended up having no other choice but to fight this punk with the best he could.Although, even his best pe
