Chapter 170: Side Story 7

Tap, tap.

Before going to bed, someone came to Janices room while she was combing her hair.

It was a late hour when the moon hung high above her head.

There werent many people who could find their way to her room at this time.

The maid who was gently combing Janices hair sensed the situation and stopped combing, stepping back.

At the same time, the closed door opened, and Louismond entered.

Dressed in a nightgown, with neatly combed hair, Janice greeted Louismond.

Whats the matter, Louismond?

Louismond entered with a smile, holding a bottle of wine in his hand.

Just because its late at night.

The maid closed the door quickly and left quietly.

Louismond personally opened the cork of the wine bottle he brought, pouring wine into a transparent glass on the shelf.

The wine flowed into the glass with a tempting sound.

Janice received the wine glass he offered and spoke.

I prefer whiskey.

You have quite daring taste.

I dont like weak alcohol.

After sipping the wine, Janice approached the terrace with leisurely steps.

The gentle breeze coming through the slightly opened window felt refreshing.

Louismund, who had taken a sip of wine, gazed at Janices hair, which had grown longer.

Neatly combed and cascading to one side, her hair sparkled under the moonlight. What would her hair, so beautiful now, have been like just three years ago?

When I first saw it, I was really surprised.

Hmm? About what?

Your hair. When I first saw it, your appearance back then.

Oh, right. It must have been surprising.

Janice chuckled and agreed.

As if recalling the past, she looked at somewhere in the empty space and smiled.

But you didnt show much surprise. You were so calm that I was even more surprised.

In that case, we must have surprised each other enough at our first meeting.

Louismund embraced her from behind and gently pressed his lips against her slender neck, wetting it with his lips. He spoke softly.

Janice comfortably rested her head on his back, feeling the warmth he emanated.

It may sound strange to bring it up now but what did you think when you first saw me?

In response to Janices question, Louismond detached his lips from her neck and smiled as he spoke.

Can I be completely honest?

By saying that, it sounds like its going to be something meaningful.

Well dont think Im teasing you. Ill tell you quite plainly.

Janice glanced down at Louismonds face, as if finding it amusing.

Louismond, whose lips met Janices chin as he turned to face her, moved his lips to her earlobe.

The small, playful kisses continued like droplets pouring down.

They were light but not playful, intense but not suffocating.

Just as Janices cheek touched the corner of his jaw, Louismond spoke:

Was it overwhelming?

Hmm?

I thought you were an incredibly beautiful woman. Your flashing purple eyes were so mature that it made me feel like a fool and the wounds on your hands and feet bothered me so much that I wanted to keep holding on to you.

Louismond, youre trying to make me feel good, arent you?

Janice chuckled.

At that time, she looked like a beggar to anyone who saw her.

Her worn-out hands and feet were covered in dirt, and freckles that turned red against her sun-drenched but poorly cared-for skin stood out.

Her unruly, uneven hair and her dress that emanated an unpleasant odor, her shoulders slouched from not having a proper mealeverything about her was unimpressive.

Her appearance must have been so pitiful that even her own relatives wouldnt dare say it looked alright. Yet, he called her beautiful.

When Janice cast a doubtful glance, Louismond pressed his lips against her eye corner and whispered.

No, really. It was shocking. It was overwhelming in that way. Your shabby appearance didnt undermine the dignity you displayed.

And I also thought that these eyes were incredibly beautiful.

Janice turned her body, and Louismond looked straight into her eyes.

He was a young man who looked too upright and honest to be called an Emperor leading this vast Empire.

He had experienced all sorts of storms during his prince days, so she knew that his character wasnt as simple as it appeared. But even so, there were times when he would just be a man in front of her.

She swept away the corner of Louismonds eye with her fingertips and spoke.

Then, what did I think on the day I first saw you?

I should ask that person.

If its that person Ah.

Janice nodded her head, thinking of someone.

Rojas has a reliable Queen. I envy that.

It cant be denied.

Louismond smiled and replied. What other nation could have a Fairy Kings descendant as their Queen?

She was truly a presence that would leave a mark in the history of this country.

* * *

The oracle.

Louismond gathered Kalia and Simon and talked about the oracle that had been made a few days ago.

Those who remember the past will save the world from the desires of the Black Dragon.

Oh, hero, remember the oath of the white flower.

Desires of the Black Dragon or Salvation, they said.

The timing was unsettling; the day the oracle was revealed happened to be Shaiks birthday.

Kalia instinctively felt uneasy.

Somehow, she had a premonition that Shaik would eventually be involved in this oracle.

Just then, Shaik, who had been playing with Drea on the terrace, turned to look at her.

Kalia waved her hand towards the smiling baby she had spotted and turned her gaze back to Louismond.

I understand. I will ask Kalexia about the Black Dragon.

Thank you, Kalia. Theres no one else who knows more about dragons than him.

Ill look into it from the Mage Towerss side as well. Oh, and theres news about a new magicians legion forming near the borders

That?

The casual conversation became longer than expected.

With many tasks ahead, the three of them had a lengthy discussion.

Shaik, who had been eavesdropping on the adults conversation, flew off to another place as soon as the talk about the oracle was over.

Shaiks heart pounded fiercely.

Those who remember the past will save the world from the desires of the Black Dragon.

Oh, hero, remember the oath of the white flower.

The one who remembers the past clearly referred to Shaik.

If thats the case, his newly born mission was undoubtedly to save the world from the desires of the Black Dragon.

As expected.

Fate didnt leave him idle.

But this time, Shaik felt content with the real oracle that had been revealed.

He only wished to fulfill his mission and find eternal peace.

When this life ended, he wanted to attain true tranquility.

However, there was one concern

My parents would be sad Yes. Until I complete this mission, Ill be a good son to them. I have to repay their love without any regrets.

That was the best he could do for his beloved parents.

And there was one more concern.

Drea.

That child liked Shaik too much.

Perhaps it was due to their bond, but regardless, Dreas fondness for him troubled his heart.

I dont know when the desires of the Black Dragon will manifest Im not certain when I will die, and if I leave it like this, that child will give me too much affection.

He disliked it, found it bothersome, but in truth, Drea was an incredibly adorable to Shaik.

Even if his heart was made of stone, he couldnt help but feel fondness for the child who begged him so lovingly.

But his fate had always been cruel, and Drea shouldnt be entangled in it, Shaik thought.

That child shouldnt be involved with someone like me.

So lets detach more coldly.

That fool wouldnt even know about my feelings and cry over it.

Sigh.

Shaik rubbed his forehead with his small finger and shook his head sadly.

The Black Dragon, he didnt know when they would meet, but Shaik would definitely find them to ensure that this world, restored to peace through his parents efforts, wouldnt be destroyed.

I will destroy you, Mad Dragon!

His determination flared up.

Somehow, his heart became restless.

He had to train his body and improve his skills.

Tomorrow, Ill start training!

Come at me, Black Dragon!

However, the Black Dragon that Shaik desperately sought didnt appear for six years, and Shaik safely turned nine years old.
