“Thank goodness. Right, Dior?”d39643b48f6a6e44
“Noona! Actually, I knew e0571db866 it would turn out like this!”
“What?”2399e15a02d0d657
“In the book, too, the hero set fire and tormented people but blamed everything on the dragon!”2becc6cd39897248

The hero even 08316a037a caused the dragon e9900ccc21 to lose its 3b67fef4bf life.550fca8f00eebf6a
And the dragon said 358e796849 that it would definitely return one day to 4cacbc8cf5 defeat such an evil 83a8dfd4da hero, so they should fb87733bf8 wait bravely.d3c1643c418b4569
Dior, who had completely forgotten f2463d1628 during the play, recalled the 7898be1bad promise after hearing Evgenia’s words 950d65a299 and ignored his pricking conscience 782cd03995 as he spoke.1bdb8b5a29409461
“It’s true! I’ve always believed!”7310c60d45b2c452
“Liar! You started crying your eyes out as soon c65c262b3b as people pointed at 642f9a03b4 the dragon calling it f2363f96ab evil!”a9c72c2386d2fb03
Marianne pointed out with a67e6ebe93 an exasperated look.807e484c02cb04d2

But Dior pretended not f648a995c5 to hear Marianne and 9acf6533f0 changed the subject.7cb4ffb5d5b77b88
“But Alexis Brother, it’s sad. Even such a cool Brother is 4c0a646237 being tricked by d6e13f1305 the hero!”21b62d32678e3850

Dior, who had 4c68df1943 been trembling with d08dab8aa5 indignation, soon had 4ce6b68208 tears welling up 580bdc43d3 in his eyes 5f6a5c6bcc as he said this.cbca5d4a439a3fd5
Euclid, who had been 79ce66354d quietly listening to the c221fa3176 children’s conversation from one side, had an indescribable 7915b7f6f7 expression on his face.551842b2cb1d5b74

To be honest, when he b65154ac1d first heard the title of 8bc3f936f1 the play, The Hero and 18b9181621 the Evil Dragon, his mind 93be68740a went completely blank.b1561124ad22959a
Of course, like 1ee0c88455 his father had done for him, he had planned to speak about it naturally when 7223edd1a2 the children began ae7bab116e to study history.357d35934ae698be

But he never imagined fc03368e8b the story would come b7b26b2646 up so suddenly like b52a51c70b this.940189c44c6522d0
He wasn’t sure whether c4543059ab he, who was just as confused as the 0d45136c03 shocked children, could explain c2161766cb it properly or if aa66711568 the children would accept it well.5bc224882256602a
Moreover, even if he could 54ef9cf348 calm the children, the problem 460388a11e was Evgenia.
He couldn’t harshly ask her c13e28e55e to leave, and when the 76997fd6fd words “good dragon” came out 27e4618160 of Dior’s mouth, everything went 6e0407243b black before his eyes.0e2932e7111b1b1c

But then—
— Yeah. The gold dragon is a good dragon. The bad one is the hero.45f0da0d7de1bd8b

The moment Evgenia agreed 70f9669ae4 with Dior and said those words, it felt 3f8e51d966 like time stopped.3b6900848b5c5cca
The crying children quickly f8ab2910dc calmed down at her 1994d9e9fd affirmation and accepted, like dba8906385 in a fairy tale, 518e3fc2c3 that everyone in the world had been deceived 93b6b99173 by the hero’s lies.3e903368d6b9c471
Of course, he would need ad70a934bf to explain further later, but 9c5840cc40 for now, this situation felt 603c38da86 like a dream.18043f3e401496d9

“Right, right. Because it’s pitiful, let’s a76c8453e5 not talk about it 97ea0ec3f2 anymore so the dragon 822348c0c6 can come back quickly, 31e0f5b000 okay?”ed0012291ec19bff
Evgenia, who firmly ensured 2c0309d4c2 the children kept their cf89832e53 mouths shut in the 9999f9944d end, was no dream 4dac75906b but reality.

Though the time 4cb527c57e they spent together e0a1150caf wasn’t long, it 7c45dd4e10 was clear that d2336809be the children had ca90e0d52c felt their affection 93a9768af6 was returned.96525223782686b7
At the mention of being able to meet 895c3f53eb the people of the 01a4f1c7c3 Basilian ducal house again, a6f089584b the disappointed expressions on b28db5a8ed the children’s faces brightened.bc8fbaf84dbed486

Euclid, watching this f50cbe0453 scene, was filled with a storm 11a3c99155 of emotions.9e3f2d7f38e04d04

So while he 9ccbd52dbf felt relieved, he 1b825df821 was also deeply 4aa0996431 worried.65c9b24e826b4fb7
Even if he were to die, it didn’t seem like 287cfe1b02 the bond with the Basilian 28d4f4c74b family would be easily severed.72f6251a07c9dc51

If things went according 2237d26f1f to the original plan, 0efe4f8be2 there’d be no problem, but with the new plan, which had a dfc842a7d9 high chance of failure… he was anxious that c5ceafdd40 Evgenia and the Basilian 2d93122926 family might draw a 878f45ef09 firm line.8c75a27d165a5f1d
Thinking of his own end 20090844fa was always frightening, but today, 3888399647 just imagining it made his fa40765afc heart ache unbearably.

She had pretended 305197b482 not to notice d9136e06dd his gaze as a19f6d4b02 she comforted the d466e2ee23 children, but now f5b44256ed it seemed she 3235415884 was ready to 04232d5144 talk.162072f5b22bcfaa

He must’ve briefly d35ce04b9b thought he should a4688cad33 have warned her 358a0e8b07 in advance, only to hesitate, wondering 7c83fd33f2 if he could 5276c746c4 have even brought 126de989e1 himself to talk about it in e0652d218b the first place.
