Chapter 14

Good. Naskan’s reminiscence appeared confused. It appeared that if she coated it up nicely right here, she might move it on as one thing that didn’t exist.

“You got here right here yesterday after ingesting and saying you had nowhere to go.”

“…Rea, actually? Did I?”

Daybreak Dragon had a typically carefree character. She thought he would snicker and move it off, but it surely appeared unusual that his reminiscence was all of a sudden minimize off. There was one thing unusual about his expression.

“You fell asleep as quickly as you drank. Did you name {that a} summer time drink? You mentioned it makes the dragon drunk. Duskfell should be robust.”

“Instantly… after ingesting?”

“Sure. Instantly. You will need to have been drained, don’t you even bear in mind?”

As Chryselua compelled herself to stay calm, she quickly realized that Naskan had been glancing on the nape of her neck the entire time.

‘Ah, expensive. I forgot this and left it as it’s.’

Chryselua pretended to place the teacup down and opened her collar to cowl the marks left on her neck. Naskan cleared his throat and regarded away from her. Simply it, he was dripping with chilly sweats as if he was sick.

“What’s flawed with you? Did you will have a foul dream?”

“No!”

Simply in case, she requested another time.

“…Did you will have any naughty desires?”

“No manner—!”

Naskan turned his head away. His ears, uncovered by way of the tousled hair, have been a lot redder than typical.

“It was simply as typical.”

Listening to these phrases, she narrowed her eyes.

As typical… Did he often have desires like that?

“I used to be… somewhat extra weak than typical.”

“What are you speaking about?”

‘…What was he dreaming about?’

Sipping the tea as a substitute of alcohol, Chryselua glared at Naskan. Alternatively, sensing the stare from her, he cleared his throat and gulped down the water as his throat burned. Then, Naskan bit his lip and mentioned one thing relatively out of the field to evade the scenario.

“…It would rain for some time beginning tomorrow.”

“Actually. You do silly issues once more.”

Chryselua clicked her tongue.

When a subject got here up that he didn’t need to reply, he shortly modified his phrases. It was going to rain. It was actually an act that will have been accomplished by the Daybreak Dragon.

Naskandeolux, the Daybreak Dragon.

Daybreak, which symbolized the sunshine of hope among the many Balaur, was endowed with the ability of nice prophecy. The present Lord was additionally a Daybreak Dragon, and Naskan was introduced by the Lord when he was younger.

Naskan was particular, similar to his identify.

His innate magical energy was superior, he grew up shortly and even had an excellent sense of magic dealing with. He was additionally the youngest ever to repair a rift. When he was younger, the present Lord carried Naskan as her successor.

Naturally, the dragons thought that he would take over the subsequent Lord.

What did he simply do? Chryselua playfully talked concerning the dream, so he used the ability of prophecy, albeit in a small manner.

It was the climate forecast.

“When are you actually going to return to your senses?”

Naskan silently shrugged his shoulders.

Regardless of his earlier fame, he began to get into bother sooner or later.

He was busy enjoying round together with his rift missions, he didn’t take heed to the recommendation of the older dragons, and he typically used his wonderful skills to quarrel with others. Or, use the ability of daybreak calmly as if it was insignificant.

The final time Naskan did his job correctly was when he was dwelling within the divine realm, and he was entrusted with escorting Chryselua. Even that was good, however Naskan made a fuss about quitting. It will need to have been round that point that he all of a sudden began entering into bother.

Naskan’s status plummeted, however in truth, Chryselua obtained alongside higher with him, whom he thought was tough from then on. When she first noticed him, she unilaterally averted and hated him, asking why he, a standard dragon, had an escort connected to him.

Despite the fact that she wasn’t proud of this case, she was glad he got here to Sedition anyway.

Despite the fact that he acted like an fool now, Chryselua remembered how he silently carried out his duties when he was younger.

On the time, Naskan was not as talkative as he’s now. He was at all times expressionless as if he had no emotion, and within the divine realm, it was anticipated that essentially the most cool-headed monarch would emerge if he took over the Lord.

Anyway, albeit not now, he was essentially the most reliable individual she knew.

“Daybreak.”

“Uh, huh?”

“Are you able to do me a favor?”

“Why would I not take heed to your request? So long as you don’t hand over Lord’s request as a substitute.”

Earlier than Naskan might even hear what it was, he replied with a giant smile. He was a very good man. She was unsure why he was avoiding the Lord.

Even after listening to the reply, Chryselua hesitated for a very long time. Seeing this, she wasn’t frightened that Naskan would refuse the request. Greater than that, she was deeply involved about her efficiency, which she was obsessive about at Sedition.

Of the 2 issues she screwed up in a single day, she had to decide on the one she needed to repair.

The primary was the ceremony schedule. Wanting to realize the Lord’s recognition, she labored arduous in Sedition and even turned the consultant of the ceremony. There was lower than every week left till the occasion.

The second was a request from the Lord, whom she needed to get acknowledgment from… the fruit factor.

Chryselua’s potential couldn’t catch each of this stuff, so she needed to deal with only one.

It was clear which of the 2 to surrender.

“Will you do the ceremony for me?”

“Pfff!”

Naskan spat out all of the water he was ingesting. He didn’t even consider wiping the ruined mattress or his moist mouth and simply stared her manner.

“…What, what? The ceremony?”

Seeing his eyes large open and quivering, he regarded extraordinarily flustered.

The truth is, even Chryselua didn’t need to hand over this hard-earned alternative to Naskan. However final evening, the lab was in a large number, and all of the medicines she had ready have been ruined. So, the magic booster that was ready just for the ceremony wouldn’t be accomplished even when it was made now.

To any extent further, she needed to resolve the issue of the fruit despatched by the Lord. Getting ready for the ceremony on the similar time was too burdensome.

And if it have been Naskan, the Daybreak Dragon, nobody could be dissatisfied with it, even when he all of a sudden assumed the function of consultant of the divine realm… as a result of Daybreak was the successor to the Lord.

“Sure. You’ve accomplished the ceremony as a consultant of the divine realm earlier than. Are you able to do it once more?”

“Why would I do this?”

Naskan’s eyes, which had been curled up, subtly modified. His eyebrows drooped and he regarded fairly mellow and he regarded utterly totally different simply by transferring the small muscle groups underneath his eyes.

For a second, Chryselua remembered him as a toddler.

The looks of being obedient and mechanically performing solely missions. Naskan, who had misplaced all his laughter earlier than she knew it, glanced at her. Above all else, the gold eyes that have been shining with crimson shade regarded chilly.

“Chryselua, isn’t that your job?”

“Huh… you already know?”

She had by no means instructed Naskan about this achievement earlier than, so she was fairly shocked. The truth is, Chryselua tried to brag in the event that they have been ingesting yesterday.

Naskan frowned.

“What do you see me as? The Lord has a sprained eye. I don’t intend to tackle that—”

“It’s not the Lord, I’m asking for it.”

“…In fact there may be. As a result of your eyes, who watched the ceremony I held, are rather more reliable.”

Naskan’s expression loosened instantly. His voice modified to dripping with honey.

The content material of the request was in no way vital to him. At this level, Naskan was intentionally ignoring the Lord’s contact.
