Chapter 192: Where the Sky This (3)

Lets go inside and talk first.

Navardose pulled the door latch. The huge door opened so smoothly that it was hard to believe it had been neglected for centuries. Ronans eyes widened as he looked inside.

Why is it so ordinary?

The room was just the right size for two people to stay in, and it even felt cozy. Contrary to Ronans expectation that it would be as bizarre as Jarodin or Professor Screekts office, it was filled with only necessary and common items.

There was a long stone desk, a dining table and chairs. Judging by the presence of two personal beds, it didnt seem like they were that close. Or perhaps they were perverts who enjoyed intimacy due to the narrowness.

There was not a speck of dust to be found on the desk Ronan glanced at. He cocked his head.

Didnt you say it was abandoned for hundreds of years?

I enchanted it to maintain cleanliness. Just in case that child might come back Well, since the son came looking for me, I guess you could say Ive achieved some purpose.

Navardose looked around the room with a gaze that oozed longing. The time she spent with his father was only three years. From the perspective of a dragon, it must have been a fleeting moment, but it seemed like she had developed quite an attachment.

This room has been here since before this fortress was built. Drimore was built on the ground spread around here. was also the designer of this fortress.

My father designed this fortress?

Yeah. He insisted it was necessary to stop the enemies coming from beyond the sky. I accepted because I liked his guts, telling me to eat him if his words were false, and as you can see, it turned out to be the right decision.

Navardose chuckled. Judging by the nonsense that bastard muttered to the Mother of Fire, he didnt seem like just your ordinary madman. Sitting on the bed, she spoke.

Now, tell me. How do you know Elysia?

Oh, that

For a moment, Ronan was at a loss for words. To tell the truth was a truly complicated story. His father, who is presumed to be the current Leader of Nebula Clazier, cursed him, and to lift the curse, he had to journey through the Mental World, where he possessed the body of the former Leader of Nebula Clazier, and the that persons assistant was the woman named Elysia. This story had to be delivered persuasively.

She wouldnt betray the person who saved her son. I even saved her daughter earlier.

Since it was his deepest secret, he had to be even more careful. Yet, Ronan quickly made up his mind. After all, Navardoses innocence had already been proven in his past life.

She gave it her all until the end.

He knew all too well how fierce the fight between Duaru and Navardose had been. Moreover, someone wielding such deadly flame pouches wouldnt lie.

Having organized his thoughts, Ronan began recounting everything that had happened so far, omitting only the fact that he had regressed, which could cause confusion.

Curse? Ah, I see. So, you thats why cant understand s name.

Besides that, there are many things. Did that person not talk about the curse?

Unfortunately, that is the case. He only left a message saying, I recently had a child, and if you meet that child, please take care of him.

Navardose shook her head. Suddenly, one curiosity passed through Ronans mind as he listened to the story. It was a question that had been overlooked as obvious all along.

Wait, I have one question. Lady Navardose, you are certain that whatever-his-name is my father because of our similar appearance, but is there any other basis?

Thats because the last time came to me and your age match exactly. It was just over a decade ago, so I remember it accurately. Youre not asking about lifespan, are you? is like Lorehon, whom you all know well

Oh, I know that. Mages dont die of natural causes.

The question wouldnt have been asked if the robed figure wasnt a transcendent being. By now, it seemed certain that the incomprehensible person was indeed his father. Navardose said,

Lets go back to Elysias story She came to me with about a thousand years ago and called herself s assistant.

Assistant.

Yeah. Unlike , who disappeared completely, Elysia was here at Drimore until recently. She was the most outstanding Spirit Master Ive seen, so I was really disappointed when she suddenly left.

How recent are we talking about? It might be a long time according to dragon standards.

About five years. It really wasnt long ago.

For me?

Ronan raised an eyebrow. Navardose grinned.

Lie down on the bed for now.

.What?

Come on. We dont know when those brutes might strike again, so lets hurry.

Navardoses tone brooked no hesitation. As Ronans mind raced with a myriad of thoughts, the surroundings seemed to shift subtly. The chamber, the bed, and the beautiful lady. Even the lighting took on a reddish hue, skewing the accident further. Ronan stumbled backward in confusion.

I-Im not sure about rushing things.

Ill take care of it, so dont worry. Oh, and take off your clothes.

Suit yourself!

Ronan took a deep breath. Was this a married dragon woman? Was this wicked dragon woman trying to lure him underground from the beginning? Despite admiring the cunning of the immortal living races, Ronan threw off his top and lay down.

Im lying down.

Yeah. Good. Relax and let your body loosen up.

Due to the ferocious fire pouches she carried, he couldnt see her face while lying down. Alas! This is why he should have listened to his sister who warned him not to blindly follow strangers!

If he refused, he would be turned into ashes, so there was no choice but to accept it. While he was making a desperate expression, an unexpected line came out of Navardoses mouth.

I know that the curse binding you is not ordinary.

What? All of a sudden

was truly vile. Even though he may have his reasons, doing this to a child I believe in , but I think this is too much.

Navardose clicked her tongue. Ronan raised his head, realizing she was staring at where his heart was.

Is the reward related to the curse?

Yeah. But even if I can forcibly remove the curse, your body might not handle it. However, theres one thing, a spell originating from fire. I think we can manage with that.

Unfortunately, what Ronan had speculated didnt come to pass. But the reward she proposed was remarkable enough to overshadow that regret. Calming his emotions, Ronan asked her,

What what do I have to do?

Nothing. Just as I said, relax and lie down.

Its surprisingly simple, thats nice.

It was unbelievable. Every time a curse was lifted, he had endured all sorts of torment. Could it be that she would provide relief in this way? With her hand on Ronans chest, Navardose said.

Relax. Itll only hurt the first time.

Did you say that on purpose just now?

Instead of answering, Navardose let out a laugh. The characteristic warmth of the Red Dragon was spreading all the way to Ronans heart. Navardose, who had been scrutinizing Ronans heart meticulously, grimaced as if she were getting annoyed.

Looking at it now, I can see that there is a lot going on. It wont be easy to do this.

I didnt want to end up like this.

There are six curses in total I dont know how its possible, but some of them have fused together and formed a coreHm, whats this? It looks familiar, but I dont know what it is.

Navardose tilted her head. It seemed like there was something that had taken root in Ronans heart that even she didnt recognize. Ronan was about to say something when Navardose shrugged nonchalantly.

Well, it doesnt really matter.

Huh?!

In an instant, her hand turned vivid red. A fierce heat engulfed Ronans heart.
