“… What?”

“Didn’t you say you can’t be a servant? But that doesn’t mean that it’s annoying for me to move myself, so I asked him to check the room for a while, even though it’s warm.”

“…What about it?”

“I gave you the wrong coordinates.”

At that moment, I was at a loss for words. It might be hard to fool me, who is famous for being the greatest personality buster in the empire, but this dragon did it.

I didn’t know what to say, so I opened my mouth.

Where should I point out the mistake?

There seems to be a problem somewhere, but I couldn’t tell what it was.

I asked Lerhagen with a face full of absurdity.

“You gave the wrong coordinates, do you know that they tried to let anyone into the emperor’s room?”

“I think you brought that guy into the room. This room, the defense magic is down, so no one can come in.”

“I was trying to tie myself up. Originally, I directly interrogated everyone who entered this room.”

“I heard you can’t respond well to things like that.”

“Again, it’s because the child’s body isn’t used to it. And even if Lerhagen didn’t come, I would win.”

I just hurt my pride.

I need to practice so that I can get used to using magic weapons with this body. As I made that resolution, I remembered what the assassin had been reciting, and my face distorted.

“Wait, then, did Lerhagen-nim tell me about my true identity?”

Lerhagen recited my question.

“No way.”

“Do not lie. Otherwise, how would an attendant know who I am?”

“There’s no way that guy knows your identity. I didn’t tell you.”

“no-.”

As soon as I finished my words, I suddenly heard a moan.

“Ugh.”

The assassin, no, the boy, who had been half-embedded in the wall just now, opened his eyes.

The eyes of Lerhagen and I returned to him at the same time.

The boy, who seemed to have come to his senses, stood up.

Fighting.

I saw the shards of the wall falling behind him and realized that Lerhagen had indeed beaten him mercilessly.

“Ugh, it’s the head.”

I still looked at the boy and Lerhagen with doubtful eyes.

Just then, the boy lifted his head slightly, saw Lerhagen, and opened his eyes wide.

“Master! What are you doing?”

Master? Didn’t you say servant?

Lerhagen indifferently recited at my questioning gaze.

“A disciple or an attendant.”

“Deng… … It’s a very different concept.”

“I mean, no, before that, what the hell is this situation?”

The boy was still moaning from his teeth.

It was quite rude to say that to the Dragon Lord, but it showed that he was quite friendly with Lerhagen.

Lerhagen still chanted with that nonchalant face.

“I came out to draw a sword against a child, Hasis.”

“That’s it.”

Hasis’ gaze reached me, a boy with a much calmer face than before, perhaps the pain had subsided.

At that moment, he spoke loudly with his face completely distorted.

“You are not a child, are you?”

also.

I raised my head and looked at Lerhagen as if he was asking for an explanation.

Lerhagen slightly narrowed his forehead. There was silence for a while.

How long had passed, Lerhagen made a face of realization.

“Come to think of it, that guy had eyes to see the truth.”

“jin… … An eye that sees threads, if that’s the case, then the traitor’s descendants have it!”

For a moment I was terrified.

Descendants of traitors referred to the descendants of King Allaire, who were punished by God for tampering with the taboo.

And the content of that punishment was the eyes that saw the truth.

The power to penetrate all the essence of the world. Even if it’s beautiful or ugly.

Also, it is a lineage that has been rejected by all races and has now almost disappeared.

“Is it not enough that you made a disciple of the traitor’s lineage, so you brought me into my room?”

“The latter is my mistake, but is the former also a problem?”

“of course-.”

That’s a big problem!

I was about to say something, but I was speechless at Lerhagen’s relaxed expression.

Eventually, I calmly caught my breath and continued.

“is it so. Well, it’s Lerhagen-sama’s choice who to accept as a disciple after yielding 100 times, so let’s say that.”

“I do, Ra.”

“But you know who I am. It’s not something that just goes away.”

It didn’t matter how that Hasis boy figured out I wasn’t really a child.

The important thing was that it was only a matter of time before he figured out who I was.

I can’t let go of a ticking time bomb like this.

At least he had to be chained next to me and watched. No, even if not monitoring, there had to be something to ‘restrict’ him until I returned to adulthood.

I was lost in thought.

My current status is the princess, Lerhagen is my father, then who would be the most natural excuse to have next to me?

A ‘status’ that nobles couldn’t carelessly touch, and at the same time, even a little nonsense in this palace would stand out.

okay.

I raised my head at the thought passing through my head. At that moment, Hasis, who had been looking at me with strange eyes, flinched at my gaze.

“Why, why do you look like that? Can’t you turn your head right now?”

Hasis shook his hand as if he was subtly frightened. I didn’t care and asked him coldly.

“How old are you?”

“Why do you ask that?”

“Well, it doesn’t matter. I just want people to see me as my older brother anyway.”

“brother?”

As soon as I finished speaking, Hasis opened his mouth wide and exclaimed loudly as if he was astonished.

“What are you talking about!”

“It is literally. From now on, you are Lord Lerhagen’s son and my half-brother.”

“Bullshit. Why should I be your brother?”

“If you don’t accept it, I have no choice but to kill you. I have no intention of releasing anyone who knows my identity outside.”

Even the descendant of a traitor. How could I leave such a dangerous existence unattended?

The only thing left was to keep him alive because he was Lerhagen’s disciple. The dragon lord’s apprentice is hard to deal with, even me.

Hasis snorted as if he was taken aback by my words.

“Hey, kill me. Master will leave it like that-”

“…….”

“… … It seems like two.”

Continuing his speech, he glanced at Lerhagen, and eventually turned his head away with a tut, as if he had judged that he was of no use to me.

I stared at him coldly.

Surprisingly, Lerhagen didn’t really take offense at my words. I thought that was Lerhagen’s way of making up for his mistakes.

In the end, Hasis grabbed his head and suffered alone, then nervously opened his mouth.

“Damn it, it’s my fault for just running errands quietly.”

“Accept it as if it were fate.”

“Should I be your brother? Can’t I be your disciple?”

“no.”

“why!”

“You have to be Lerhagen-sama’s son, so the nobles are really scared and won’t think of digging up your back or using you.”

I glanced at Lerhagen.

“Lerhagen-nim, are you okay too? I brought this kind of person into my room recklessly, so please accept at least the sudden son.”

“do whatever you want.”

A dark cloud appeared on Hasis’ face.

In the end, after worrying over and over again, he opened his mouth with a determined face.

“good.”

“You are clever.”

“Instead, I also have a condition. Don’t bother being your brother.”

“Well, I’ll try.”

What is the effort? Since he was my older brother, his peaceful life was over.

“Then, let’s make a simple covenant now.”

A covenant is a kind of forced promise.

A promise not to reveal the other person’s secret. If I violate this covenant, I can ‘judge’ Hasis as the one who made the covenant.

Of course, in a situation where the secret has already been revealed, there is no use in refereeing, so it was a magic that shouldn’t be used, but it was suitable for restraining that guy.

I snapped my fingers.

Soon, a strong wind enveloped us with pure white light. And when I snapped my fingers once more, everything disappeared.

“It’s over.”

But contrary to my elated voice, Hasis was despairing as if his soul had been sold to a witch.

Glancing at him, I turned my head towards Lerhagen this time. To the subject who was the culprit behind all this, he was truly carefree.

No matter how funny humans are to the Dragon Lord, that’s the case. Somehow, he was just offended.

“Hasis’ affairs have been sorted out, but that doesn’t mean I completely forgave Lerhagen-nim.”

“So what are you going to do?”

Lerhagen narrowed his brows as if asking what he wanted. I raised my eyebrows at the deep annoyance buried between his eyebrows.

Actually, I didn’t really want anything from Lerhagen. However, it was not polite to just ignore his weak point like this.

Thinking so, I recited.

“Now do me one favor. whatever it is.”

“Looks like he’s going to use it whenever he has a chance.”

“I’m naturally like that.”

“Well, do whatever you want. But I’m tired today, so I’ll leave.”

After speaking, Lerhagen immediately manifested magic. I didn’t even bother holding him, I chanted sulkily.

“You are at peace. This wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t given the wrong coordinates in the first place. Sending an attendant to find out if the room is warm is absurd, but even such a mistake-.”

As I spat out the words, I frowned at the hypothesis that passed through my head.

“Wait a minute, no way.”

“well.”

Lerhagen disappeared without leaving an ambiguous word.

At the same time as he disappeared, the room was neatly restored as if there had been a battle.

I distorted my face.

‘Did I bring Hasis to my room by purposely giving the wrong coordinates?’

Forbidding me to bring an attendant? To have me tie him down like this?

I gaped.

I don’t know if that’s true, but if it’s true-.
