Chapter 393
A Fantastic Duo
Outside the Capital's walls.
Where a wide plain should have stretched, heavy rocks and metal fragments lay scattered everywhere.
They were the armor Frontesis wore and the rocks he used as projectiles.
Just by the sheer volume, one could tell how fierce the battle had been.
The problem was that the fierceness was one-sided.

-Krrreuk.......
Frontesis groaned.

He barely kept himself from collapsing with his short legs, but that was it.
-Frontesis.
The Red Dragon Valdrova looked down at him from the sky.
-I won. Please stop now.
W̃ ӗ b̈ n̄о̂ v е l̊ Еn̊_ũm̊ȧ
Not a dignified tone, but a gentle one.
With that, she asked Frontesis.
-I...... I......!
His fierce eyes glared at her, then he let out a great sigh.

-Damn it...... I wanted to win...... just once, but you won't even give me that.
-If I went easy on you...... would that have been good for you too, Uncle?
Ѐ n ǔ_m ӑ
-No way. Rather, smashing it like this feels more refreshing.
Frontesis chuckled, hehe.
Valdrova stopped flapping her wings and descended to the ground.
-Even so, I had a hard time. Do you know how amazing the things you make are?
-Haha, truly cruel, Baby.......
Frontesis's body shrank.

Valdrova also polymorphed to match his eye level and faced him.
"Why on earth would you do something like this?"
The demon attack and the princess's arrest.
Frontesis had nothing to do with those two incidents.
Yet why he claimed to be the mastermind behind them was a mystery.
"Valdrova, do you know this?"
Еṅúm̄ а. ї d
"What is it?"
"Good people...... are unpopular. If you're good, you always lose out."

He lay down and looked up at the sky.
"How many arms and armor did I give to the heroes? How many achievements were made with my arms, and how much praise was received? Among them...... how many expressed gratitude to me?"
"......."
"Were there any bastards who kept using the weapons I made for their intended purpose? In the end, they only got caught up in greed. It's all pointless."
Ŵӗ b ñ оv е l̈ Е̌n.ŭ m̌а̄_
He looked like he might cry at any moment.
"That damn Storeus and the other bastards are the same...... they always treated me like a support character. Even hearing the title 'Guardian Dragon,' I was never happy about it."
"......."
"So suddenly that damn Godwin...... suddenly became so enviable. That bastard is talked about forever. So I'd rather remain as an Evil Dragon. An Evil Dragon who summoned demons and drove the empire to ruin. That way, everyone who hears my name will remember it....... "

Valdrova looked at Frontesis with pity.
She vaguely knew what humiliations he had suffered.

"I know."
Valdrova quietly embraced him.
"Uncle is a really good person. Even though you always complain about your achievements not being praised...... when someone asks a favor, you don't turn them away, do you?"
It wasn't simply that.
Valdrova already knew Frontesis's intent.
Frontesis tried not to say it, wanting to hide it, but in the end, he spoke.

"If I punish Uncle who became an Evil Dragon like this, everyone's misunderstanding toward me will be cleared."
Frontesis's two eyes widened.
Since his shallow thoughts had been read so easily, he had nothing to say.
"I've always been sorry to Uncle. You always tried to give me so much, but I only refused."
"......."
"So I'll remember for the rest of my life that Uncle is a good and kind person."
Е̄n̊ ǔm̄ а̂
Frontesis took her hand.
Her hand was so small and precious it couldn't even fill his entire palm.

Tears streamed from his tightly closed eyes.
"Thank you, Baby. Truly......."
Rather than filling the world with fame,
He had remained forever in one woman's heart,

So he had no more regrets.
"Phase of Protection and Rock, Frontesis. I grant you eternal night."
His essence appeared before Valdrova, then scattered.
Shortly after, dwarves emerged from the tunnel.

Dragon Spawn remaining by Frontesis's side.
They wiped away tears soaked in grief and collected the body.

They knew well where they had to go.
Valdrova's eyes gradually blurred.
Crying always defies expectations.
She thought it would get easier sending them off one by one.
"Did you wrap things up well?"
A man's voice was heard.

At that voice, she swallowed her tears and turned her head.
"Yes. Is Miss Olivia safe?"
"Yes. We've safely transported Miss Olivia to the Far East. Now we just need to leave this place."
"Will that work?"
She looked up beyond the Empire's wall.
That place was burning and in chaos.
W̌e b̃n̈ ӧ v e l̄ _Е_ńu m̆ а̇
"The chaos will resolve itself."
"......I understand."

Valdrova carried Ferda on her back and flew up.
Soon, a heavy downpour poured from the massive cloud clusters.
The imperial flames that had been burning as if to consume everything quickly died down.

Valdrova Castle became noisy.
The news that the Empire was burning, when first heard, was treated like a neighbor's house fire—just a few words tossed out and that was it.
But the fact that Olivia Arken, the Empire's princess and a proven Saintess, had come spread, and it became noisy.
"Did you hear? They say the Empire's princess is in the guest room right now."
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
"Then does that mean the Saintess will stay in this Grand Duchy now?"
Since they were imperial people, there were many Althea Religion followers.
Е́ ṅūm а̇
A woman who held the highest position in the Althea Order, and simultaneously a princess.
It couldn't help but feel like a great holy relic was being enshrined.
There were quite a few people hovering around the guest room, trying to catch even a glimpse of her.
Olivia waited quietly in the guest room for the host to arrive.
Then she felt gazes disappearing one by one.
She could tell who had come just from the situation.

It was Valdrova.
Olivia rose from her seat and greeted her.
Ferda was not by her side.
"Thank you so much for rescuing me."
"Ah, no. I didn't do anything for you, Miss Olivia."
"I heard that you dealt with Frontesis, the culprit behind this incident."
Ē ń um а̄. і̇ d
That's how it would become known to the world.
But even that notoriety was packaged as: she became that way while fulfilling her duty as a Guardian Dragon to protect against Godwin's demonic energy.

Only then would Frontesis's barrier shine.
She asked that he be recorded in posterity as a great Guardian Dragon.
Valdrova, knowing this fact, merely nodded silently.
"Um, um......."
Е ñum̆ a
Valdrova smiled awkwardly and stammered.
"The situation isn't good...... so it might be better to stay here for a while......."
Valdrova sneakily checking her reaction.
"How...... about it?"
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Why is she checking my reaction when it's her own house?
Thinking that, Olivia replied.
Е̄ ǹ u m̃â. і̆ d
"Your Highness has keen insight."
"Huh?"
"We'll have to wait until the Capital stabilizes for a while. Excellent judgment."
"R-really?"
Valdrova, immensely pleased.
Her fingers fidgeted uncontrollably with excitement.

"Then shall I give you a tour of this castle?"
"Since Your Highness grants me the honor of walking side by side, how could I refuse?"
"Yes!"
Valdrova grinned broadly and walked alongside her.
At the word that Valdrova was taking a walk, everyone cleared the corridors.
Knowing it was disrespectful to secretly watch her walking, gazes could still be felt here and there.

Two beauties walking together was a rare sight, so even knowing they shouldn't, they couldn't help it.
Soon, as they were about to stroll through the garden,

"Oh oh, Baby!"
A sauntering movement like a loafer approached them.
A girl with short blonde hair and both eyes tightly shut.
Now without horns, she just looked like an ordinary girl.
W е̊b_n̊ о̃ v̌ е l_ Е̂ ǹũm̄ а̃
But there weren't many people who could call Valdrova 'Baby'.
Olivia realized this girl was Odograsado.
"Oh oh, I sense a beauty rivaling this body by your side....... So you are Olivia Arken?"
"I am humbled by such praise. Olivia, Arken, greets the Great Holy Nation."

"I heard you have very pretty blonde hair."
"That is correct."
Е́nũ_m̃ а̀.і.d
"I also have blonde hair."
"Indeed you do."
She was answering without a hitch, but inside she was utterly flustered.
What on earth was she trying to say?
Odograsado laughed mischievously.
"In other words, we are destined to become soulmates, are we not? Pwahahaha!"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Oh my, thank you so much for saying that."
"You're not pleased inside. Don't try to hide it from me!"
"No, how could that be? When you're such a wonderful person."
"Is that so? Then I must have been mistaken!"
Odograsado just laughed it off.
Before she knew it, she naturally stood beside Olivia.
W̌еb̀ n̈.o v̄ е̂ ľ Ѐ n ümа̄
Olivia naturally asked a question.
"Does the Holy Nation intend to establish the Order again?"

"There's no Holy Nation anymore, so even the name 'Holy Nation' is funny now. Just call me Old Woman, or Teacher."
She poked the skewer she was holding.
"And getting special treatment is boring now, so I'm not even thinking about the Order. It's time to agonize over my future."
She said, popping a honey-glazed fruit into her mouth.
Е́ n̆um a . і́ d̊
"I see. As expected, your thoughts are deep."
"That's why I'm learning magic. Human magic is quite fun. Watch this."
Mana radiated from Odograsado's hand, light condensed, and created a small light.
A lower magic spell, academically named <Light>, derived as <Alte's Light> in the Alte Order, and <Golden Light> in the Odograsado Religion.

As a dragon who had performed miracles for thousands of years, forming a circle inside her body wasn't difficult.
"Amazing. You've only been out of the Holy Nation for a short time, yet you've already learned human magic......."
Е̂ n u ma
Then she realized and changed her words.
"No, rather it's only natural. I've committed a slip of the tongue."
"Hwahwahwa! No. Since I've never come down before, I didn't know climbing up would be this burdensome. I don't think I'll reach the place I originally was in this life."
One who slips again clings to the spot they originally stood.
But Odograsado didn't seem to have any attachment to it at all.
Not just pretending—truly.

"I can only heal scrapes for now, which is a shame, but someday I might be called a healer, right? It's a shame there's not much use for that here."
Speaking proudly, Ruri conveniently chimed in at just the right moment.
"Saying there's no use, please stop tripping people and then healing them."
"I'm bored, what can I do? When else can I play pranks on a blind person, hwahwahwa!"
Childish behavior unbelievable for the oldest among all dragons.
Olivia could only smile awkwardly, unable to play along.

Valdrova's face turned bright red.
"Anyway! When my magic gets better, I'm thinking of going on a wandering journey. Following wherever the horse leads, leisurely moving about, reciting that thing, the Alte Scripture contents, and making cookies by hand to give to kids."

"Truly worthy of the Holy Nation. To have such wonderful thoughts from the start."
"By the way."
Odograsado turned her head toward Olivia.
"You, how about coming with me?"
Ŵе ḃ n о̆ vе l̃ Еnù m̂ а̊
"Me?"
"Yes. With your fine appearance, we could become a dream combo. Wandering everywhere together."
Olivia suddenly felt her throat tighten.
The playful old man vibe from just moments ago had its mischief completely vanish.

As if saying: you must do this.
"I will reconsider the Holy Nation's proposal. Right now I'm also a bit out of sorts......."
Wе̂ b̂nо̂ vӗ l̈ Е n̊ um̆а_
"Hmm, alright. Don't make me wait too long. Don't know how long this old man will live, hwahwahwa!"
She disappeared with a stuffy-nosed laugh, hands behind her back.
Olivia couldn't hide her uneasy feelings.
With that childlike appearance, she touched something Olivia didn't know.
A feeling of playfully yet deliberately poking at the core.
"Miss Olivia."

Valdrova called her name.
Olivia smiled and answered.
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Um, by any chance, are you good at...... cooking?"
"I know the basics well enough not to be embarrassed anywhere."
"Flower arrangement?"
Ёǹum̈а. і̌ d̃
"That too, I do passably well."
"Mm, I see......?"

To Olivia, who had survived in the bloody imperial palace, the intent behind these questions was blatantly obvious.
"It seems Your Highness wants to learn something."
"Hehe, y-yes, that's right!"
"Then please speak without hesitation. Though this unworthy body is lacking, I will do my best to teach Your Highness everything. Or......."
W̊е b nӧ v̆е_l̆ E n̆ umӑ
She carefully took her hand.
"Learning together might be a good method too."
Hearing those words, Valdrova beamed brightly.
"Yes! Let's do that together!!"

Olivia smiled faintly at that smile.
It was a truly warm face.
Еn̄ ū ṁ_а̌
That's why she didn't like it.
Because I could never sincerely make an expression like that.
Olivia suppressed her ugly heart.
