The princes s ?

Their faces were nearly identical. Their long, blond hair was tied back and their blue eyes that seemed like deep ponds seemed bottomless. Though... one of them, the one on the right, seemed a little feminine. It must be my imagination.

The one on the left spoke first. With a deep voice and a stern look, he used his words as sparingly as if they were made of pure gold.

"Prince Sigurd."

Signy was evidently displeased with his attitude but held back any comment. Then, the second one spoke. Her... sorry, his voice was so soft and smooth... I was really starting to doubt my sanity and maybe my sexuality.

"Greetings lord Eldar, my name is Siegfried. It's a great pleasure to meet you!"

"It's a pleasure to meet you too. Now I heard you acquired a rather powerful bloodline and would like to awaken it. For this, I will have to examine your bodies. Who will go first?"

And as I said the word examine, Siegfried flinched. It seemed like he wanted to take a step back but was stopped by Signy.

Like it was the natural thing to do Sigurd stepped forward.

"Begin then."

"That's not how it works! Sit with your back against me and don't block my magic."

He did as I told him but I have to mention, he sat like he had a stick up his ass.

I carefully sent my magic into his body and what I saw was not pleasant to look at. And while I was looking at that mess, a strong mental wave hit my magic and pushed me out. Not before I could leave a little present though ^_^.

"Well, I'd say you have bigger problems than just awakening your bloodline. Let me guess, you didn't just consume some parts of a dragon but ate the whole thing. However, that wasn't enough for you, was it? You had to artificially stimulate your bloodline! Honestly, this whole situation is one big mess. Tell me exactly what happened, how you got your bloodline and how you stimulated it."

"Lord Eldar, I've found some notes in the royal library that said after a bloodline was successfully received there would be no problems. Why is your account so different?"

"That's easy. How many people do you think survived eating a monster on the level of a dragon whole? Once a monster reaches that level it isn't a simple monster anymore. Consuming it without adequate preparations will have consequences."

"Sigh. Fine. Sigurd, please tell him."

"We were separated from our escort and followed by assassins. While fleeing we hid in a cave. Further down we heard sounds of fighting. We followed the sound in hopes of finding our escort. We found two dragons fighting. They killed each other. The assassins had entered the cave. We both ate a part of the dragon. Then we blacked out. Afterward, the assassins were already dead and the dragons were gone. We left to find our escort. We met more assassins. During the fight, I blacked out again. According to Siegfried, I grew horns and claws. After killing the assassins I collapsed. Siegfried carried me back to our previous camp where we found our escort. Since then there were no abnormalities."

My goddess, could this boy really not speak or act like a normal human?

Nevermind, it was just as I had thought. While I was still brooding over what I just heard, Sigurd was getting impatient.

"What is it. Can you help us or not?"

"Well, ignoring the fact that you lied to me, yes, I can help you."

"And how would you know I lied? You weren't there!"

"I might not have been there but I know the symptoms of the problem you have been describing. There were no abnormalities since? You call that voice in your head normal?"

"How do you know about t-that?!"

To my great astonishment, it was Siegfried that said this. Sigurd just has panic written all over his face. Seems like they both suffered from the same Symptoms.

"Let me explain some things then. I assume you first ate the dragons' hearts as it is commonly known that this provides the highest chance for successfully receiving a bloodline. By doing that, you accidentally consumed the dragon's magic core and through that their soul. Under the immense pain of the dragon bloodline integrating into your body, the dragons' souls could temporarily take over your bodies. They consumed the rest of their corpses, transformed and killed the assassins. Since then they are talking in your heads. They are probably trying to convince you to give them your bodies, hence the second loss of consciousness while fighting the assassins."

"Can you help us or not?"
