Chapter.29 Spring Flower

“A being who called himself El. At your request, I will call you El instead of a human child.”

“thank you.”

After all, something is different. Even though it was different, it was a very different entity. I feel a charisma and sacredness that I have not felt even from elders.

Is this the oldest dragon? Will there ever be a day when Rurin becomes the oldest? I can’t imagine how it would change so elegantly.

It must be a vain imagination.

“But do you know that marrying the clan’s child, Lulin, is only a play and that it will not affect the marriage between dragons?”

“I just heard that.”

“Then what do you want to tell me? “What you already know is the unchanging truth.”

Yes, that can be said to be true.

There is nothing in the world that does not change. There are truths that change.

“First of all, I want to tell you that I am strong. “I can protect Rurin better than anyone else, prevent her from being treated unfairly, and make her happier than anyone else.”

“I already heard about you. He who is called El. So there is no question about your strength. Is that what you want to tell me?”

Sarin remained calm. It’s really different from dragons below the elders who get angry whenever they do something.

So much so that I wonder if they are the same species.

“Let’s get to the point. Sarin, I’m sorry for the long and unnecessary words. “The main point I want to tell Sarin is that although I am human, I am not human.”

“Human but not human?”

Sarin shook his head as if he didn’t understand and asked back.

“My heart belongs to the Dragon Lord. I think there are many people who don’t think deeply about what that means. Sarin, isn’t it true that if dragon and human blood are mixed, only humans will be born?”

“That’s right. So, I am saying that your marriage with Rurin is nothing but entertainment. “There can be no true marriage in the face of the great premise of racial propagation.”

“Yes, so even if a dragon that goes out for fun has a child with a human man or woman, it is only a human and not a dragon. “I understand that it is something of a restriction to prevent a race called dragons from being born indiscriminately that would upset the balance of power.”

“What you know is correct. “If you know so well, what’s different about you?”

“I have no heart. Again, my heart belongs to the Dragon Lord. Although the heart does not produce blood, it has the function of circulating it. As the Lord’s heart circulates its own blood, it changes it into the same blood as the dragon’s blood. If it were a normal dragon heart, it would eventually explode, but the Lord’s heart is still alive and breathing inside me.”

“What he gave you was not just the power of the heart, but the heart itself?”

Sarin asked, looking surprised for the first time. This was the first time this dragon had emotional ups and downs.

Moreover, he referred to the Dragon Lord as him, and there was a faint longing in the way he spoke.

For some reason, it felt that way.

For some reason... .

In any case, I did not receive the heart by fighting the Dragon Lord and defeating him.

In any case, it was Rod’s own choice.

It was a coincidence for me.

Rod said: For me, this is inevitable.

“L, did you want to say that you did not simply eat the heart of the Dragon Lord and your strength was amplified, but that his heart was moving in your body instead?”

Anyway, it takes a day for Rurin to come out of the sanctuary. Because I don’t have anything to do until tomorrow.

The elder immediately asked Sarin about his intentions, and he readily agreed.

And dinner.

I prepared the finest Uka whole roast and 100-year-old distilled liquor and brought them to her.

She used polymorph as a courtesy to the person preparing the food, and I heard from the elder that this was the first time in a thousand years.

“You said you wanted to talk to me?”

“yes.”

He cut up the Uka meat and held it out in front of her. A distilled liquor with an amazing taste that is imbued with the deep smell of oak barrels.

It was the highest quality dish I could serve.

She ate her food very tastefully. However, at one point, her appearance overlapped with Rurin’s, and I realized that blood cannot be deceived, so Sarin asked me a question first.

“El. What was his end like? Are you satisfied?”

“I don’t know if he was satisfied or not, but he died smiling at the end.”

“That’s right. He was a man who always smiled a lot. he is.”

Sarin looked into space with a faint look on her face, as if remembering something. As expected, I had felt it before, but I thought that she and Rod had some kind of special relationship.

“After all, didn’t you have a deep relationship with him?”

“Did you notice?”

“I saw the longing in Sarin’s eyes.”

“Did you see that? You are truly an amazing human being. He wouldn’t have chosen you if he didn’t see something in you. And if it weren’t for your heart that transcends race, I don’t think my descendant Lurin would have fallen for you so much.”

“Is that so.”

“I heard about you and Rulin from that kid. I think the love between two people is truly beautiful. What can anyone say about the endless desire for each other that transcends race? However, I am responsible for the reproduction and prosperity of the clan. I tried to push ahead with Rurin’s marriage separately as long as it did not change the relationship between you and Rurin. It’s a pity. At that time, I never even thought that he, Lord, had completely transferred his heart to you.”

“It’s okay if you don’t worry about that.”

“If I had courage like you, I might have been able to achieve a love that transcends my clan. But I was a coward. Lurin, who abandoned everything and followed you, is a completely different coward. That’s why he gave up everything else and became Lord, and I stayed here.”

Sarin smiled kindly and revealed his story like that.

“Actually, Lord left a few words before he died. “I want to tell it to someone, but I don’t have the heart to tell it to anyone, so I won’t reveal that person.”

“He left a message before he died?”

Sarin looked at me with strong interest. It’s not a made up story. It’s true in no way.

Since I couldn’t pinpoint who the target was, I assumed it was just talking to myself.

When I saw Sarin’s reaction and thought back on Rod’s words at that time, I became convinced that the target was definitely Sarin.

“You said it. If you try to escape like this, you will regret it in the end. You told me not to live a life of regrets and to follow a certain path, but I regret for the rest of my life that I kidnapped you that day and could not run away. “If it’s the same regret, I’ll share it with you.”

I relayed to Sarin what Rod said that day without making a single mistake.

At that moment, Sarin’s eyes began to shed tears.

Again.

Of all the dragons I knew, this being seemed the most elegant and noble, and even shedding tears seemed holy.

Looking at that, I felt like I was breaking a big taboo, so I quietly turned my head away.
