Chapter 52 The Next Hero

August probably thought that taming the dragon was just like taming other monsters. I hope he believes what I just said.

Not everything I say is all true. As for the dragon who obeyed the stronger man, I remembered it from the book I had read. The book says that dragons have high self-esteem.

Besides my dragon was originally an enhanced glyph or rather transformed by Rinoa into a familiar monster.

I'm also worried that someday they'll use it as a military tool.

I also say the power of my dragon is actually in comparison to our strength with the hero and also the royal army.

"If you're that strong, the king shouldn't have to leave the capital."

"Have stopped August!!"

Beyond a doubt the king became angry with the prince August.

"But…"

"I know the reason why he couldn't do it. He did not want any people to be injured or killed. A fight within the city would only bring the residents involved."

"That's right. Despite fighting inside the city, he still forced the enemy not to come closer to the houses of the people" continued the queen.

So they realized what I had done to save them.

"So you guys.." said Evan in surprise.

"That's right. We did it because of what his majesty said," Emilia said.

After the dragon problem was over, Laura told about the 7 sins. However, we could not tell their strength because we got that information only from Daimon.

After Laura told about the 7 sins, the people in the place were even more shocked. Maybe they think the same as us if the generals lose, then only the demon king remains. But the truth says something else.

"Then we must tell this to other kingdoms as well. Immediately send a message to other kingdoms on this matter," said the king.

Then the king broke up the meeting. The three of us were taken by the king and queen and headed to their living room. In that room there was only the king, queen, Charles, and Charlote with the three of us. Prince August goes with hero Evan and his group.

"Sorry to bring you three here" said the king.

"No problem."

"We want to ask you something and please answer honestly."

I saw Emilia and Laura. They both nodded their heads in understanding.

"alright. We understand."

"Before we ask, I would like to apologize for the actions that August has taken earlier" the king said, bowing his head.

The Queen as well as Charles and Charlote also bowed their heads.

"It's okay. I didn't think about it too much. So please raise your heads" I said.

I feel bad that the king's family bowed their heads to a trivial mistake and neither did the four of them.

The king then asked, "Is it true that Evan defeated one of the demon generals?"

"True, why are you asking like that?" said Laura.

"No. I just feel something is wrong with his strength. I've met one of them before and he's stronger than Evan."

"So you've also met one of them?" ask Emilia.

"really. He was named Regyus, the general whom Evan defeated at Tron. He is stronger than Dulahan. But when fighting Dulahan, Evan looks difficult."

It is true what the king said, if Evan defeated Regyus he should have no trouble facing Dulahan I thought.

"So I'd like to ask you once again, is Dulahan really a demon?"

"Well, it's a great king experience. I'll answer, he's not a demon general."

"Then who is he?" ask Charlote.

"It's just her subordinates" Laura replied.

"Where is the real general?" ask Charles.

"Just calm down she's gone" Emilia replied calmly.

"We beat him" I said.

"Master!"

"Ciel!"

Emilia and Laura were shocked by what I said.

"It's okay. Before I tell you the truth, I ask for this to be kept a secret. Do you agree?"

"We understand."

Then I recounted the incident that happened after the three of us came out of the Royal Dungeon. Laura and Emilia also helped me to tell stories.

"That's what really happened."

"Then, is it really Evan who defeated Regyus?"

I shook my head and said, "No. I'm the one who beat him in a one-on-one fight."

"You? beat him in a duel?"

"That's right, your majesty, only the three of us know about it" Laura replied.

"But how can there be a story that Evan beat him?" ask queen.

"There's a friend of ours who helped with that problem. He manipulated Tron's memory."

I can't say that one of the gods did it. That will make them even more surprised.

I also told him the reason we hid it was so there would be no panic. Hero Evan can actually defeat him, but he's still not strong enough.

For that reason as well I once again requested that Evan and his group do a dungeon exploration. We don't have much time, considering that the demon army can enter the capital easily.

"If that's the case, you guys can definitely defeat the Black Dragon as well."

"No. We can't beat him now" Emilia said.

"Why?" charlote asked in a disappointed tone.

"Because we had already defeated him before fighting Regyus," Laura replied.

As expected they were also surprised to hear this. A lot of things surprised them today.

"That means, the Calamity dragon you were referring to was the Black Dragon?" ask Charles.

"Yes. I got my dragon from him, too."

"Don't ask you not to hand the dragon over to us. Then what about Evan himself now?"

"As I said, he still needs to practice. Being a hero doesn't mean you have a great power that you can easily use. You need practice to master that power."

"We have also become as strong as we are now because we are experiencing many things that continue to make us develop and get stronger" Emilia said.

He told me that he used to be a slave until he met me. Then he traveled with me and became who he is today.

"I understand. We'll do as you request."

"What are the plans for the three of you?" ask queen.

"We're going to go to the next hero's place."

"So you're going to Tornia?" ask Charles.

"No. We're from there."

"That means you've met Rafael?"

"Here you go" replied Emilia.

"He's the same as Evan, still lacking experience" Laura continued.

"So right, that means your next destination is Sakura Empire, the land of beast humans."

"Yes," I said.
