So she stayed in the Dragon Cave and lived the same and different life day after day.

According to the pamphlet, the pain of peeling off the scales is enough for a dragon to sleep for one to five years.

So he waited and waited, year after year.

Six years later, the dragon still shows no sign of waking up.

Athotheus went down the mountain, and he went back to the Dragon slaughterer to find the Duke of grass.

At this time, Duke glass's hair became whiter. He sat on the reclining chair and squinted at ahsotes. After hearing ahsotes's question, the old man's eyes narrowed. His voice was old and meaningful. "Didn't he say that they would not wake up until the wound healed, either physically or psychologically?"

Athothes turned pale.

The wrinkles on the old prince's face were very obvious. He raised his eyes. "Young man, are you interested in listening to my story?"

Athotheus was so anxious that he could not hear any story, but the Duke of glass had already begun to tell it.

Young Duke glass fell in love with a dragon, but he didn't know anything when he was young, and made the same choice as aesotes.

Later, glass became the Duke as he wished, and gained great wealth as he wished, but he was short of the dragon.

He didn't kill the dragon after peeling off the scales, but if he didn't kill it, the Dragon no longer existed.

It wakes up to the power of protective sleep, and after six years of deep sleep, it wakes up.

The dragon that wakes up is the one that regains the strongest scales, and is also the one that doesn't remember Duke glass.

His scars and pain, in a long sleep, disappeared with the passage of time.

His dragon completely forgot him, his dragon is no longer his dragon.

"You mean that the reason why he is still sleeping is not because of the wound, but because of... Me?"

The Duke of glass seemed sleepy. "Maybe. Does he like you?"

-- oh, I love you too...

when she thought of his words before going to bed, her throat was a little dry.

"If he likes you, that's it." Said the Duke of glass in a low voice.

The body of ahotheus shakes, can't listen to any words any more.

...

...

he went back to the Dragon Cave again, in which the youth still slept soundly.

Ahsotes stood in front of the bed and looked at his quiet sleeping face, hoping that he would wake up soon, and that he would not wake up soon.

He's afraid. When he wakes up, he doesn't remember him.

The Dragon didn't wake up soon. He was sleeping and breathing as if he would never wake up.

He lived in the cave all his life.

This year, he was 98 years old, and his dragon had been sleeping for 74 years.

The pain he brought to him made him sleep for more than 70 years.

During these seventy-four years, athotheus lived in pain and remorse every day.

But at the same time, he was very glad that he could hold him and look at him, but he thought that he had made him like this, and then he fell into the next round of pain.

...

...

the first ray of sunshine in the morning poured into the cave, and the young man in bed slowly opened his eyes.

Asotes, who just came in with his prey, held his breath. He stood in the same place and opened his mouth, "Bao, baby, you're awake..."

the young man sitting on the bed looked at him and grinned, "who are you?"
