Chapter 51 August and the Dragon

Just as the sun was rising, the battle that had taken place outside the city had also ended with the defeat of Daimon. Dulahan who led the demon army outside the city also disappeared after Daimon lost.

The king along with his army as well as hero Evan enter the city. The inhabitants, as well as the soldiers who were inside the city welcomed the king and his entourage. During the battle, they all fell asleep due to Daimon's skill called sleep.

"Master, do we need to tell you everything that's been going on here?"

"It seems unnecessary. We just need to tell some of it."

"Some? How do you mean Ciel?" laura asked confused.

"We don't need to tell about our fight against Daimon. We're only telling you until the moment of the incident against Kenrouga."

"Then concerning the nobles who had been controlled by Daimon and the inhabitants who knew nothing, how?"

"We'll tell you that it's all from Dulahan."

The three of us realized when Daimon was dying, at the same time Evan and his group attacked Dulahan until he fell. When Daimon died, Dulahan died.

"I understand master. But why should we hide it?"

"Like when we defeat the demon army that attacked Tron, they will doubt the strength of the heroes who are actually not ready for this kind of fight."

"If people doubt the heroes, there will be fear. So you suggested that Evan and his group go to conquer the dungeon, right?" said Laura.

"Yes. Thas right. Then we also need to tell them about the 7 sins, because they are a new threat to us" I said.

After that, the three of us left the palace and returned to the Silver Cat. The state of the city still looks a bit chaotic given what has happened.

We were at the inn to wait for a call from the palace. We could not casually come to the palace even though we were close to a member of the royal family.

It is likely that we will also not be called in the near future, due to the circumstances. In addition, the king also awaits the return of the queen along with Charles and also Charlote who are still in Tron.

I heard the news that they'll be arriving tomorrow. So until then we could not enter the palace.

Moreover, in front of the Silver Cat there were always some soldiers who were pacing back and forth. When we were shopping or taking a walk in the city, we were also always followed by a few soldiers.

At first I thought it was just a coincidence because maybe they were on patrol. But now I feel like the kingdom is watching us.

In the room, Emilia and Laura and I talked about this.

"Maybe they're afraid of our power given that we saved the king's family" Laura said.

"True, besides that they also saw the master had a dragon."

"Dragon? I just remembered that there was something I wanted to ask about it. Is there a system of contracting with monsters as a pet or partner?"

"Of course there is. Some adventurers also have it, for example, warg wolf, hornet, even slime," explained Laura.

"That's right master, but for a monster like a dragon it doesn't exist. Because it's impossible to tame him."

"Maybe that could be one of the reasons we're being watched by the kingdom" I said.

After hearing that dragons were impossible to tame, I thought about not calling him too often. But it seems impossible considering that the three of us are just facing a large army of demons.

For now we just need to be patient with this until it is called to the palace. Although I also feel uncomfortable, because it is always monitored everywhere.

When the queen along with Charles and Charlote returned to the capital, during the day we were called to the palace to explain or tell what happened in the capital as long as the king was absent.

When we went to the palace, many soldiers were sent to pick us up. They're like picking up nobles or heroes. But I also feel like I'm being treated like a criminal.

"Master, do you need me…?"

"no need. We just follow the story."

"Good."

When we reached the palace, we were immediately ushered into the throne room and like before, we were also escorted by some soldiers.

The king and queen and some nobles are waiting for us inside. Evan and his group were also there.

For starters, the king asked us to explain what really happened. Laura explained it to me. He explained exactly what we knew.

Next the king asked us to tell him what had happened during the week. Emilia got a part to tell it. He recounted what happened before we entered the Royal Dungeon.

When the king asked what happened afterwards, Emilia replied that the three of us were sent to Dulahan's dimension using her magic for a week so we didn't know what happened.

We only know that the king along with his army came to take the capital back. And Evan's fight against Dulahan.

Then the next one who asked was not the king, but a man who was standing next to the king.

"Include my name August Von Ellis, I am the first son of the king and queen, as well as the crown prince."

"So he's Charles and Charlote's brother huh? But after I looked carefully, he seemed like a pretty dangerous man" I thought.

"I want you to hand over your dragon to the kingdom. Of course we'll pay for it."

As I thought, they wanted my dragon. August is an ambitious man.

"Sorry your honor, I can't hand it over. Even if you give a city I will still reject it."

"What's your reason for refusing it?"

"Before I answer, I want to ask. Have you ever been adventurous?"

"Once again, I'm now at C."

"Then have you ever conquered a dungeon?"

"Yet. Then have you ever been?"

"I've been and that's 2 times I've done. And I also conquered his guardian."

After hearing my words, everyone in the room was shocked, except Charles and Charlote who already knew.

"Have you ever faced a dragon?"

"Earlier. That's a wyvern."

"Do you know that the dragon is the smallest among the dragons?"

"No. You yourself have you ever been?"

"For a wyvern, I've never."

A smile from August. Yet…

"But for the Calamity dragon, I once defeated it and now that dragon is my pet."

"But isn't your dragon small?" ask king.

"That's right, your majesty. The dragon shrunk its body in order to fly within the city without destroying it. If in its original form, it is 3 times larger than this palace."

As before, they were all shocked.

"One more thing. The dragon did not want to obey a creature weaker than him."

August could say nothing more. With this also they know how much power I really am.
