Chapter 92: Retrieve the Dragon’s Children ①

Translated by AmaLynne

Sam and the red dragon, fully wounded, promised a truce and landed by air just before the royal capital of the Sky Kingdom.

To tell the truth, although Sam initially promised a truce, he was worried that the dragon might go berserk the moment it entered the royal capital.「I will not break my word!」, Sam decided to believe her because he was furious.

If her anger burst, people will definitely be wary of her.

「Günther! Günther Ignatz!」

At the entrance to the Royal Capital, Sam called out the name of the wizard who was supposed to be covering the entire city with wards.

Sam called out the name of the man he knew who seemed the least likely to be harmed, and in less than a minute he came running as fast as he could.

Günther initially smiled, but when he saw Sam covered in blood and mud, his face paled, he fell to his knees and looked up to the heavens.

「Oh, oh, no! I knew I shouldn’t have let my sweet Sam fight the dragon alone… like this! God, why do you put Sam through this ordeal! I knew I should have gone too, no, but first, he had to be treated. With my tongue to keep the wound from festering.」

「….you’re on a roll, as usual, you…wait, stop, oi, stop! Why are you trying to lick me! Hey, hey, stop extending your tongue! You’ll get an infection!」

「―――birth? You’re having my baby?」

「Your ears must be rotten!」

He sincerely regrets that he made a mistake in calling the wrong person.

However, Sam was hesitant to let the people of the Count Walker family meet the dragon out of the blue.

It wasn’t that they didn’t believe in dragons, but he didn’t want to burden everyone too much.

「……What a pervert!」

As a result, Günther is treated as a pervert even by the dragon.

Sam’s head ached, even though he should not have been injured.

「I am a court wizard in this country. And I am the heir to a ducal family.」

「…Such a man is a nobleman, this country will meet its demise in the near future, not to mention my own destruction.」

「I know. Wait no―――Günther! Come on, let’s have a serious talk! Please!」

「I know. I was just out of my element. I’m ashamed.」

(You are always an embarrassment!)

Inwardly, Sam had a lot of things he wanted to say, but he bit it off because he didn’t want to talk about it.

「I’ll introduce you. She’s humanized, but she’s a red dragon.」

「I thought I felt a terrifying presence and magical power, but I didn’t realize it was a dragon. So we can assume it’s the red dragon you were supposed to be fighting?」

Apparently, Günther was joking around and properly noticed the red dragon.

Sam nodded and affirmed.

「Yes, the dragon I was fighting earlier.」

「I’m not sure, but why are you in Royal Capital with the person you were fighting? From the looks of the two of you, it seems like you had a serious fight?」

「This dragon had more than enough reason to attack Royal Capital.」

「Reason?」

「Apparently, her child was kidnapped by Albert Frege and his friends. So she came to rescue and ended up fighting me.」

「Oh, my God.」

Günther exclaims.

It should be no surprise.

It is forbidden by continental law to touch dragon children.

Before being punished by continental law, he has done more than enough to warrant retaliation by the dragon.

In fact, if Sam had not fought, there is a possibility that the entire royal capital would have been burned to the ground without knowing what was happening.

The Skye Kingdom would have resisted, but we don’t know how far that resistance would have gotten.

Above all, a nation should not be destroyed by a few greedy people.

Moreover, the ringleader was already dead, a situation that was not at all amusing.

「Albert would certainly do it. There are several bad rumors about him, one of which is that he is working with the nobles who back him to capture demons and fantasy creatures and sell them illegally to philanthropists and others.」

「He’s a really stupid guy.」

「I agree. Well, he was the best in the country only in firepower, so it may have been a backroom business, but I can say… it’s foolish to mess with dragons.」

Sighing heavily, Günther looked alternately at Sam and the dragon before asking.

「What are we going to do now?」

「She knows the general whereabouts of the child. But if she tries to retrieve it on her own and gets into trouble, it will cause problems again. So I would like to inform the king of the situation and ask for his permission before making any move. Also, I would like to borrow some of your staff.」

「As long as there is a possibility of trouble with the nobles, it is a good idea to ask for permission from His Majesty the King. The magic army would probably have a much easier time subduing the criminals, considering that they would have to fight the dragon.」

「Would you be so kind as to tell the King?」

「You can count on me.」

「And, please, break the warding. I can’t get in.」

「Oops, you’re right. You guys could probably force your way in, but we wouldn’t be able to move if you did.」

Günther snaps his fingers, and the warding is lifted only at the entrance to the Royal Capital.

Sam and the dragon step inside the royal capital.

「His Majesty will have no choice but to grant permission. He better cooperate if he thought about having a relationship with a dragon.」

「As soon as possible, please. She wants to save the child as soon as possible.」

「I know, my Lady. Just bear with it a little longer.」

Reverently, Günther bows to the red dragon.

「Then, Sam, I’ll go back to the palace ahead of you. You guys can come back later.」

「I understand. That’s fine with you, too, right?」

「I don’t care. The children are in the direction of the palace. But hurry.」

「Yes, that’s right, Günther.」

「I’ll take care of it. With the power of my love for Sam, I can make His Majesty the King shake his head and give his permission, even if I have to beat him!」

「Hey, hey.」

「Well then!」

With a *Boo-hoo!* Günther runs to the royal palace.

The warding should have robbed him of both magic and physical strength, but in no time at all, he was out of sight, wondering where he had the energy to do so.

Sighing, Sam calls out to the red dragon.

「A little more time. Hopefully, we can save the kids soon.」

「You’re an odd one, aren’t you?」

「Is that so?」

「Yes, it is. Well, okay. As promised, I won’t go wild until I have your permission. But remember, even that has its limits.」

「I understand. Then let’s go to the palace.」

「Mm.」

The two then started walking toward the palace.
