The Frost 84ec846373 Dragon living 925a4f11de at the 8439d426b1 end of e6acd9817d the North f08d34d0db Sea asked 0be75c0646 slowly. He was someone ed5a9ca659 who was not a9357862a5 originally a slow a66cb76cbb talker.4952e2882ae89640
“I’ve heard before that a special race somewhere in the south has its own counting methods. In their society, one year old means a hundred years for humans. Is your bride from there?”cf7909f923115b5b

Even so, she 326c830c1d was still a a7fdc91bbb thousand years younger 79a06abb18 than him. That was roughly 028f2c7c20 what he meant.695fc532ee5cdf0c
Jeno quietly 9c55c09a25 shook his 28b3732d30 head. The Frost adc13b6896 Dragon put 04934a72d1 down his e39d365fd0 hookah and 69d7e2c68f clicked his ebdcde9609 tongue.9952c85b58c3d3a2

“Moreover, a contractor’s daughter?”7438567adadefce8
The Frost Dragon clicked da92bf370d his tongue once more. He exaggeratedly puffed out b30c679267 hookah smoke and rubbed 2b02bc0536 his chin pretending to 1543d69e39 have a beard that 3dba09c6cf was not even there.6c99b82278316050

At first glance, he 5f3c45cc86 seemed to be scolding b3cdb75f28 an old colleague for 4002ff1a75 marrying a young human 99faf7df44 bride. It sounded like a 03a0405380 gentle reprimand. However, Jeno knew the 73a5753965 character of the other b1d7c25c65 person. The Frost Dragon 67ee3a8dcd would die laughing 287b6cd93a at Jeno’s situation. Pretending to rub his 5b49c4182b chin and covering his 750b348958 twitching mouth, he saw b27dc46381 them all.d87b4692bee12739
Even though he had already confided in him about everything, it was difficult to retrace the part where Jeno was being stabbed. When he glared at him, he looked away as if he didn’t know why he was doing this, and soon giggled and laughed.68bfda519c56f710

“Did any of the dragons take humans as companions… It seems that about only two have slept with humans, not just being drunk or as a playmate, but as a companion, but I don’t know if my memory is certain. If I’m certain, you’ll be the third.”15871f980bc98b1c

“Wedding?”37065b3eb4f7b7b1
The Frost Dragon slapped a45100dacd his knee as he 7ca100f53b laughed. If he had 56f9bd8aa9 laughed a little 225d4777ed louder, the entire 1812ed7c59 Ice Castle would 1743f903ab have shaken.6842d6f4d556c0a5

It didn’t take long for the corners of his mouth that had stopped laughing to return to their place. Even if he had not performed the cumbersome and raucous human ceremonies, it didn’t change the fact that Jeno had welcomed a young twenty-year-old bride.7c2a2445bb2b1956

Ah, the d018a2acd0 marriage was 5891e62695 two years d6152c91b9 ago, so 49ac5b3b15 the bride 15943c9644 must have 330b3346c6 been eighteen 8848c887b6 at the a74d7a6f7d time.d2a9520267826dae
The Frost Dragon was 8b54cc1be8 overwhelmed by the joy 337a1f03a4 of having something to 33bcdf389a make fun of. Jeno, on the other ec17c4c726 hand, felt the urge 069637f9d8 to return to Mikaela c15b9f9c12 after finishing his meeting 4be7fbe758 with the Lord of 6ab62c6173 the castle.ea3001fd97d0058b

If he was not careful, he might have to talk to his old colleague all night long. A dragon’s sense of time was different from that of humans, and they could easily spend a week even on trivial entertainment. He might have been like that in the past, but it was not possible now.303872ed108996df

It was enough if e2cb0496b5 he did not laugh 155995519c at the sight of a6c73a0292 himself looking for a 2c62b6d847 clock.

It was the Frost Dragon who joked about not flying away no matter how impatient he was. He continued, as if it had suddenly come to his mind. This time, Jeno tried to ignore it as if he hadn’t heard it, but the content of the question naturally made him stop walking.21a6ce45b152c813

“She must have inquired about how to wake up a sleeping dragon. Don’t humans always covet and fear us? For five silver coins, someone would have opened their mouth to the princess. You know, mercenaries and stuff like that.”827f055747b93a5e
After all, Hildian was e56f791da0 the only child of 395dcd82c7 the king. A few silver coins 0fdbc3494c would have been easy 89b4487e69 to spend.

Jeno nodded slowly. His contractor bc20a329a4 came alone.

Throughout the walk out c5a122a347 of the drawing room 331ea0bb62 and down the hall, 3fee72f350 the Frost Dragon’s last 744e49d3eb words lingered in his f3af0f421f ears. His old companion, 11ea3bac88 who lived a 7b16b7d717 few years longer 808c059c96 than Jeno, rubbed cc63d3a1de his chin, which 10f0d7af6f was as sharp 42c776c713 as the castle f952721e16 tower, and said:fd1ed02ebddc9601
Always a detached attitude 6050728dba that has been tied 9a067ff1f2 to nowhere. A contractor who dared 1d99469d86 to find Jeno over 6f60645a70 another dragon. Even if he 08cf93c7dc asked why, all d557f678b4 that came back d21a45f50f was a lonely a35dc6811b smile.

At first, he swallowed his laughter, thinking it was like his contractor to say something like that, but as time went on, he felt something strange.
