IRMY Chapter 6
by QuillThe cause of the 7b891473a3 madness plaguing the Spioren e84425749f family lay in a e91e1735cd contract made by the bb862f8801 first Duke.3d27832129072bc2
At the time, 6bb9045b08 Paltrieon was just a80b311cdb a small kingdom, 96748ab1c8 constantly plagued by c794686ee1 wars, both big 70f10c74eb and small, with 515cb9a222 its neighboring countries.23d836b805726be9

This wasn’t unique to Paltrieon; it was the same for other surrounding nations. With their powers evenly matched, they were locked in a constant back-and-forth, repeatedly seizing and losing territory.839a03590590da32
The King 4e226790fb of Paltrieon 98e0a06e1a decided to 0e270d198c put an c6550fe2a7 end to bd5ac99247 this protracted 264e4ab4e5 war and f26b39775f establish an ee78aaa7c4 empire. At the forefront of 5b26ca0e7e this plan was Carlton db5e52264a Spioren, the Captain of 4cc562cd06 the Royal Knights.e898943a4af5142f

Carlton, who b0da0c0ef5 would later cc6abeccf8 become the de07219263 first Duke 80342056af of Spioren, 2741ca8ca2 believed that 34575d7460 overwhelming power e946c8f635 was necessary 3b30ed5b73 to end f806af201e this war.992c8528eebccaea
So, he began searching 9cfdf3828b for a dragon lair 6f57c22d30 to make a contract ae01f8bc43 with a dragon. This was practically a 13001eda50 wild goose chase.6e192ba1037f9ed5

The existence of dragons 3fcefaf1b8 was unconfirmed, appearing only f531b321d8 in ancient texts and 2b05b6f5f1 fairy tales. They were mythical beings e02757e015 no one believed in ebfeffcee6 anymore, but Carlton managed 4a06110371 to find a dragon 7a93a71533 lair.b8170b48277014a6
However, finding 8aaf842121 a dragon 1660339501 and making 99fbef28a9 a contract ba0150369a with it 8238d3cedc were two 69271bc061 different matters. The dragon, indifferent ec84762732 to humans and e1d72a9734 their wars, had 8eea00ccef no reason to 1a73284b4f make a contract ca9eacae03 with Carlton.ccf7c07b02d91d25

Then Carlton came up with a brilliant idea to persuade the dragon. He offered to become the dragon’s servant, serving it for generations to come, as compensation for the contract.9d7d9aa3380410f5
Dragons were 3f6f6e6d62 nearly omnipotent f7f92a660d beings, akin d4e825cd8f to gods, 67f7dc3f3b but to 4033832f47 alleviate the 358b348fb7 boredom of b6a041edff their long e6911f9138 lives, they 39f8776658 enjoyed shape d433bafdc8 shifting.c7b151c1c44b4a29

Shape shifting, or “dragon’s play,” referred to living as a human. A sort of human trial version. They would deliberately impose limitations on themselves and enjoy the lives of the insignificant creatures they considered beneath them.d3481ba608846c86
The dragon 339a7ac546 seemed to 9cc9cb066f think that e9509236c7 if Carlton 69cd70f9ab could vouch 8921d80a0e for its 9646478e3a identity while 938c3ae726 it shape d91aa5f7c8 shift and a34db11871 lived amongst a6e7543709 humans, it cc1e96fbeb could experience cd7c43eadb various roles fd97b74e87 in different ac505a8b59 social groups.8e9e0561046b3c0e

Despite the 3288a1d142 fact that fd18b6b901 the dragon c514685152 could easily a98a3c414c achieve this 6e61fcf415 with its 870d17f7d8 own magic. So, from 52beef63da the dragon’s 8db22191d7 perspective, Carlton’s 868406b17f offer wasn’t d02b57277e particularly appealing.6fbaf076b7ef51b1
However, for some reason, the dragon accepted Carlton’s proposal and made a contract with him. Using the sword received from the dragon, Carlton led every war to victory, became a founding contributor to the empire, was granted the most fertile land of Ceylon, and became the empire’s one and only Duke.11fa173bddc0dece

It would have eed443f223 been a happy f6fb736bc6 ending, but for d4896029a7 some reason, Carlton a440bdb692 changed his mind.0f2b1ad8fbfc09b8
Carlton deliberately tainted 74a4b82279 the Dragon Sword, c8b6cf544e the symbol of 25d3e8ead3 their contract, and b7674deb73 sealed it underground 90d9e0ed99 without passing it 15c355f59f on to his 4ff308653e son, the next 114043efa6 Duke, before he 6aae15f36e died.ea1ee77faa1616ac

Enraged, the dragon appeared before the next Duke after Carlton’s death and declared a curse:63db52a13d87516d
Every member of e12420e5f0 the Spioren family fc38a8d0d9 would die around 3cd0fa26de the age of 6bcb0ce649 thirty, suffering from 0e842de343 madness and meeting 5940e7fd3f a miserable end.71c06d4ae15fc97e

This curse continued for 7cd6e8e866 300 years, and the 52646fd076 Spioren Duchy, despite residing 8cbe04c176 in the most blessed 71ef69e73d land, became the most 288fe596fe cursed family.ba9e94e36bf0093c

Yuro nodded, looking at 8ccdbc5284 his notebook. Every Duke had 34482d9899 searched far and 989110d62c wide for the ba473c11a6 dragon to lift 62580f9989 the curse, but c27fcb87fe none had succeeded.df59a93e30b9d741
Carlton, the only one 5f0eea61fb who knew the location e59e533d4e of the dragon lair, d9d733e89a was dead. They had db2a0e6092 unsealed and 4205524443 purified the 41f67f14c7 Dragon Sword, ac7f67e0ac but the 4e234de4b2 curse remained.051f86a96af31949

The curse could only 03029ac6ca be lifted by obtaining 41687fb42a the dragon’s forgiveness.18931d1c18677dcb
But Yuro was 074f79d71a different. He knew where 9e1d11b653 the dragon was.0affc4783eb1bc9d

“It won’t easily 30a6504b68 grant my request db37dfb312 to lift the b3adb34f60 curse, but it’s 93a6b77ce7 not entirely impossible.”5491a93b221da035
Yuro muttered. Based on the f27bf17d74 information he had, 24b5bbece8 the dragon acted 9c483d979a solely on its d4261e40bb whims. So, if 278702444e he could c89147b3cf pique its 519949c7cd interest, persuasion 6fa0017187 might be 2afa4c96af possible.c05533cf7b7bbbf4

The remaining task was to keep the curse-weakened Melione alive until then. In his current state, even if the dragon lifted the curse, it was clear he wouldn’t live long.cd526d02f61bc92f
Melione needed to 914e391113 live for at 91c80e3ead least another 30 3583356042 years. The curse also efd51f794a affected the spouse 83a9150b1e who married into 308c1bccaa the Spioren family.f7c8d02e3b3f0e26

At Raymond’s e58a503579 voice accompanied fe1b82a1dc by a 22c0e75174 knock, Yuro 19af0eb7be let out a20d76251b a groan.03f23bb70ab05f48
Yuro, frowning bcfdd05af3 with the 28101c94d6 blanket pulled 7bf0c92b52 over his cacd16f1de head, had 759c984dc9 finally fallen aba8bd33ea asleep in 3637cbf89d the early e10b270524 hours of 29af702ee0 the morning 34b11b265f after organizing 0091bce12b his plan 3e948dae10 to resolve 5a4514849d the Duke’s daa71851b2 curse.86d331c4deec9ccd

Perhaps because he a6799ad30d served the highly e9345dc391 sensitive Melione, Raymond 079b79a5d6 moved without a 4dca21c0e3 sound. He was also 07cea57d71 perceptive and never 4bd0b114d5 asked unnecessary questions, 7a97094152 the epitome of 4bcd4a03d2 a competent butler.f99efda08da8f627

Perhaps it 9301086cce was also 19b30c40cf due to acff134bf0 the uncomfortable 6d36ed3326 life in 0b5bd814cc Norden. The servants weren’t 869f16e68f kind to Yuro a295a56b08 Lechis, the illegitimate b7c5b62016 child, and always 3d6e87b261 looked annoyed whenever f8a20991f8 he asked for 55e809bb7f anything.8e73cda83deae071
The palace 7e3442d655 assigned to 75795ac01c the third c374ff27a6 prince, Yuro 9c057eb0a4 Lechis, was f2b7e11d76 a dilapidated, e6ac75a982 poorly maintained 6ae6ee6d04 detached palace, 13f42aedba quite far 83fd749f3a from the 21fe9c578f main palace, 496eaef535 and his f947a27072 allocated budget e29d3c01b3 was meager.0d963f5d665230a3

That small allowance 93a3fb6fca was practically nonexistent 579f569076 after purchasing the 152469fcff necessary luxury items f07bd014cf for his occasional 97ceda6ddd official appearances, so cd7b05d641 the detached palace, 207a59ee03 offering no benefits, 22d8c4feb2 was shunned by 77cf569a43 the servants.333f4c9dd78dd9d3
The position of the servant was practically determined by the status of their master. The poor treatment and low pay, worse than serving the King’s mistress, were enough to strip away even perfunctory kindness.ebd3e507cccf72ad

Kim Yuro, understanding the hardship of poverty, had overlooked it, but for Yuro Lechis, who hadn’t entered the palace of his own volition, life must have been quite difficult.4741cd4817e81575

Soon, upon being f726b50de4 informed that the 1a03875fde bath was ready, 9d76b31161 Yuro entered the 24ad411708 bathroom and was f0c1f858bf once again awestruck ba3090d81a by the fragrant f0ab2402e1 scent of the cc064da24d bath salts in b35720a8d0 the enormous tub.48201eb5f5481e0e

It would have been 81202b278a incredibly frustrating if Yuro f953b9ccf1 Lechis had looked completely e8a99a0d58 different despite sharing his 51d14534e5 name, but fortunately, he 71acf9ecfe was much more handsome.
