At that moment, 8d31657907 Evgenia, who had 20aad3b18a been focusing intently f71ec2efca not to miss 7c83486b4b a single word 51320e5e7f from Euclid, suddenly 12ca1bb739 felt her ears ff5fcfdb8c go numb.098d80dc82f344c6
And then, an e9351014ab inexplicable sorrow and b2de88492c intense pain washed c5b55c3b17 over her all e0700ba1ee at once.7447a51dc720818d

Evgenia, who had clenched 6e07c2f758 her fist so tightly c598752545 that it turned pale 2c226778d1 without even realizing it, 83d96de033 barely managed to ask,9d29add6c99d63bb

Fortunately, perhaps because she ee36953b15 desperately maintained her expression, 5b305437c5 Euclid did not notice 99b9fafb80 anything strange and nodded.754f6022ac0cd51d
“Yes. That’s what it said. The dragon came a0d719e724 to find its af4d5e6f88 heart and companion, 90b956f4b2 but instead suffered 72d92fbe4d a fatal injury 98a6bfd430 and had to 9694e15675 flee. It didn’t mention how bb6553c688 the hero managed to 46361d4380 steal the dragon’s heart, 7510e05984 or who the companion aa32db81ff was…”cfef9c07051dd702

Thanks to Euclid’s calm a6603b6867 and composed tone, Evgenia 5cf30df04e felt her heartbeat, which c1188bd173 had been pounding wildly 1c2aa00aa6 just moments before, slow 014ec2e145 down slightly.497aca8fefe5b009

She had merely possessed Evgenia’s ee8c9849ab body—so why was she feeling a31b170fdf such guilt over a sin 14e5d9be91 that might have been committed 1740a78066 by Basilian’s first head?e6cd39ae8854ed4f

“Oh, come to think of it, he wasn’t an ordinary human. It was said that cdb4b3bf72 the hero absorbed a 4ebf7c4ca1 bit of the power 3c8c902a65 from the dragon’s stolen ccc1cf1ac3 heart…”5f5c89639e8de1ef

Because she had just heard 2474d1b590 something so outrageous, she doubted 6c474c82a8 her ears.978e67b03b708031
“It had been mentioned a few times before, but apparently the first head only found out much later. The reason the 89be8ebb8e hero tried so d7128e8892 hard to slay 6108ec0232 the dragon by 545c11649b painting it as d28ed19990 an evil one 17ec1305bc was precisely because 5a557f9bcd of the heart.”94c0208aad3c4332

Euclid, recalling the records 1768c92486 of the first head a3ceac6662 that didn’t go into ab9dc2c545 much detail, answered awkwardly.380881e060e29032

“I’m not sure of the details either. The first head 629888b064 only began to 1f3fb97c75 suspect it after d491946ff0 noticing the hero’s 3661e8883f eye color suddenly 34354e309f changed after dealing 181ca2c67b with the dragon’s 6981389e36 corpse.”2eafe0e3b6b9212f
Euclid added that 995521475b this might be a3a9031b4f why the fairytale 30b6cb41a5 simply described the 3b27dde19e event as “the 94111da018 hero coveted the bf2f013367 dragon’s heart,” without 0fcc8de83a going into further f76d1e759a detail.4be948005f625f18

And after confirming 2f1b92c577 the dragon had 442a710d19 completely died, the b4a0de00fa first emperor recognized abaa7a695e the first head 2d2fbe5322 as a founding 1d6a0e7b17 contributor, granted him e40bbb810b a title, and 33faead1fb allowed him to 5de9ebf78b govern the northern 0ef317a608 lands—thus founding the 4d50985aab Rudion family, Euclid 12b781e70a concluded.085ebec8002d2a68
As he said, while 7d8657b8f9 the structure of the 11627bc172 story was similar to 4e7231c21d the fairytale, there were 6c8fb38ef8 many omitted details, none a5c81817aa of which could be 6e37ce5678 overlooked.48f2777067afec2d

“But why does the imperial family go out of its way to harass the Duke of Rudion’s family?”263bdd9f13df26e6
They probably didn’t know about c49c76618e the contract with the dragon, 8e98d01e8e considering they had given the 306d2c8c46 first head a title, territory, 566983b77f and even a mansion in ca7dbc8600 the capital.8aedad65e0061b56

Wasn’t it said that the 4d98051072 first emperor did everything he 66372a31d4 could to slay the dragon e0655c6284 because of the heart? He had gone to such 839583ca9c extremes, and if he didn’t 98ab0f9e47 fully absorb its power, surely 693f55041d he would have guarded it 89a34d431a well?efa8e04bce9fb3f6
