Chapter 8 - A Bitter Ending

Chapter 8: A Bitter Ending

“I can do it well.”

It was a menacing flame. When the child breathed on his two small palms, the flame quickly grew in size.

Yo… Dragon breath…

The sight sent chills down on the witch’s spine.

The child, who carelessly spewed out fire, said proudly:

“I can’t let you be disappointed!”

“Well, what are you gonna do…?”

“You’re in trouble because of him, aren’t you?

Yeah. It’s gonna be very difficult. But…… I feel a sense of uneasiness and I don’t know why.

The dragon boy screamed brazenly, his red eyes wide open.

“I’ll kill him!”

Her mouth agape, Eleonora could not process what she just heard.

What did he just say?

“You’re gonna kill him? That guy?”

“Yes, I don’t think it’ll be difficult.”

She stared down at the little child who said, “It wouldn’t be difficult to kill a single human.”, and saw the intent to kill masked in the child’s face, crystal clear.

“You… didn’t you come from that man’s arms?”

“He offered to take me to my mother, no! Master’s house!”

The little dragon accidentally said mother and brushed it off quickly. Eleonora glanced at him, sighing at his cuteness.

Yeah, I forgot. No matter how cute he is and how human he looks, his body is a dragon. He thinks in a completely different way than human beings.

The child seemed anxious when Eleonora didn’t answer, his round, gentle eyes trembling.

“Well… you’re gonna throw me away again…?”

“…No, I won’t throw you away.”

I can’t send it anywhere right now. Why would I send away a child who said something dangerous? What if he creates a real accident?

Suddenly, Eleonora was reminded of something.

In the original storyline, the dragon had been killed only by his obsession with the heroine, Lenia. It appears at the end of the novel that its attachment to the heroine was not normal.

At the ending of the novel, when he succeeded in killing Eleonora, the villain, Lenia, was to finally give her heart to the male lead, Leonard.

However, the dragon kidnaps Lenia and leaves for the world beyond.

In short, he ran away with a hostess.

What happened to Lenia after that? No one knows. The novel ended there. Maybe even the heroine herself doesn’t know. Plus, nothing left of the life of the male protagonist appears in the novel.

I thought there was only a sweet romance left over the five books, but the faithful pet dragon of the hostess was actually the final boss and the dark horse.

The twist was rather surprising. For an ending of a romance novel to be a breakup, ridiculous! As a reader who has been looking forward to some romance between the main characters, it is a disappointment.

And the whole story was compressed into such a short book.  It is an ending that there is no way to explain anything other than that the artist did not want to write anymore.

But it’s none of my business what kind of ending the main characters get. This body will be roasted by a dragon before Lenia could even get her hands on me. That bastard Leonard can even bid his own self goodbye.

The thought gave Eleonora goosebumps.

Lost in her trance, the little dragon boy, with anxious eyes, stared at her grim expression and asked.

“Master, are you sick?”

“…….”

“The human man!”

“No!”

It’s because of you, you bastard!

Frightened at her sudden loud voice, the child ran to hide under her bed. The witch grabbed his little shoulders and warned him.

“You can’t just kill people. That’s not a joke. Okay? Especially, don’t kill me.”

“Why do I kill my master?”

“Why kill me, right?”

“……?”

The child looked at her as if he didn’t understand. Eleonora held the child upright and stressed it over and over again.

“Listen! Don’t kill living creatures recklessly. Even if it’s a little wild flower on the side of the road.”

“Do not kill!”

The child merely mimicked her, unable to comprehend what the witch was saying intensely. Fortunately, she was a product of an infusion-based education, a human being with a pretty old-fashioned way of thinking.

In other words, ‘Memorize if you don’t understand!’

“You can’t hurt others without a reason, you can’t lie, you can’t steal. You can only do such thing when…”

Eleonora pondered for a moment.

“Only when I allow it. Okay?”
