IRMY Chapter 6
by QuillThe cause of 513acb7bcf the madness plaguing 1ec6c82072 the Spioren family 237909b80a lay in a a1c05d69c8 contract made by 2137dfca31 the first Duke.9c0e99853504a167
At the de77f25b25 time, Paltrieon b5095b75c0 was just 397d86d5e4 a small af5acd7a7e kingdom, constantly 40c79c6836 plagued by a95b0804ef wars, both 234f2e4560 big and d5fdc7b039 small, with 839322bb43 its neighboring 6c98682df8 countries.c2f0400eadf060ed

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.72b5188d0a48af72
The King of Paltrieon a84b9e82c7 decided to put an 9be78d0731 end to this protracted 458ce37b1c war and establish an a154407eab empire. At the d67e8d2471 forefront of 0cc310fe15 this plan 03bfd6f22c was Carlton 850f3d6545 Spioren, the 3ff1eee857 Captain of 9938cb009c the Royal 40dadc5ff4 Knights.bc509858fde56e00

Carlton, who would a86b437113 later become the 55c7d47000 first Duke of 405a677161 Spioren, believed that 72c17f85b1 overwhelming power was 5ea7fcd360 necessary to end 94b8a642e0 this war.1be086c184592caa
So, he 4b182f958b began searching 8554542ddd for a 67061c4775 dragon lair 767e866003 to make 3fcecef118 a contract d0961b7dde with a 7551ee1169 dragon. This was practically a d5ac63f50e wild goose chase.8f320b4267b953ee

The existence 3a5a00d4f6 of dragons 44008aa1fd was unconfirmed, 890db8a439 appearing only d0079ee591 in ancient 67334dd14e texts and 3345754dd3 fairy tales. They were 986d5be535 mythical beings 25feafb621 no one 10918d86eb believed in 761cdc67ff anymore, but 8dc8d81bad Carlton managed e88b46c3a4 to find a1f54f302f a dragon 4ccc695e3b lair.0637a52b0048975d
However, finding 5b1e983333 a dragon 0ad05ac4db and making a9a9b72b3d a contract 2d34967a0b with it 1e1cf35c14 were two e7dc7700b1 different matters. The dragon, indifferent 2f25bce53f to humans and 71ec45c7ec their wars, had 112b9a2ad9 no reason to 77c2251cfc make a contract ca81ea0134 with Carlton.ebe6c54a83a79c45

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.6ea8d9807d6b289f
Dragons were nearly 861844ec91 omnipotent beings, akin f84379d099 to gods, but 23a8064547 to alleviate the 25528cfc7e boredom of their 785a7081b8 long lives, they 2bfcc451f9 enjoyed shape shifting.2ea290da8491d843

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.cca5706087b7b084
The dragon seemed to 414a088a17 think that if Carlton dc76d13bf1 could vouch for its cd6e2dee4a identity while it shape 3289cc5bae shift and lived amongst 49fc73b5c5 humans, it could experience 71ea9f955e various roles in different 4a0a8c4b38 social groups.4317d746adb9a3f3

Despite the fact that f10a92dc64 the dragon could easily 5c9835e5a1 achieve this with its 575c255550 own magic. So, from the dragon’s 34e5c80aa8 perspective, Carlton’s offer wasn’t e316d2df1f particularly appealing.1adce154bae9b911
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.e78152ab04a95b76

It would 9ee5331054 have been 8164ab3255 a happy 35a3c5f97a ending, but f542748bc5 for some 17e5283a48 reason, Carlton 0c7cc80e22 changed his 194f308248 mind.6cfab3b524e1a45b
Carlton deliberately tainted the 071fc9726c Dragon Sword, the symbol 26c659dfdf of their contract, and c06d080899 sealed it underground without acfa8ecc9f passing it on to 4ffb7adf6c his son, the next f1a2179ba9 Duke, before he died.d23563e41ecd5e26

Enraged, the dragon appeared before the next Duke after Carlton’s death and declared a curse:aa6dca9ebfe40087
Every member of 6862683bb3 the Spioren family 3b5fd2adba would die around cf53692c85 the age of ad70504037 thirty, suffering from 6e61c2cb97 madness and meeting 883174eef0 a miserable end.b89799cd2b685a78

This curse continued for 686faebcc7 300 years, and the 312e9de2fd Spioren Duchy, despite residing bb35b883a3 in the most blessed 9a0f4406e5 land, became the most 1458878449 cursed family.3dfca61055ae56d7

Yuro nodded, looking 3f8e2bf4be at his notebook. Every Duke had 3d2bb34218 searched far and 653a1441f8 wide for the 60c7e25e73 dragon to lift 0e763c9760 the curse, but 73abcd73e8 none had succeeded.bcc7c22b698ac0e2
Carlton, the only one 84e881d703 who knew the location fae31a31d5 of the dragon lair, d11d5989bc was dead. They had unsealed and b541f20911 purified the Dragon Sword, 2e7872f6cc but the curse remained.39d4cb7d8c3483b1

The curse could 213b683b6a only be lifted 90349b0aa2 by obtaining the e3b066830c dragon’s forgiveness.c903567f632bb8be
But Yuro was different. He knew where the 801bed5287 dragon was.02fad73c56552d84

“It won’t easily grant a05aaebdb3 my request to lift 73e9f71122 the curse, but it’s 0e3031daf1 not entirely impossible.”1810d71e8dd40d2d
Yuro muttered. Based on the information b59ef203c0 he had, the dragon 3f9ea803c4 acted solely on its 10ed35cb54 whims. So, if he 465f3f0d2b could pique its daad28e9ad interest, persuasion might 6200ed4a6d be possible.20da806ab87fe76c

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.203899a7ddfb7d02
Melione needed ac16354b0a to live a567d1f546 for at 67ba665526 least another 1de5a32597 30 years. The curse 2db6724a65 also affected 25a224c61e the spouse 0de4cfdd35 who married 4ffdc47b52 into the 869c3733cc Spioren family.8a2c342e541afa17

Since Yuro, 1ae9d1ae1d too, would 9e721d723a be doomed aa9eddd8b0 to an 20fed68c25 early death 09203cf305 upon marrying 10ff18284e the Duke, e6f35d83e8 lifting the eb5c566601 curse quickly f52d367d07 was crucial.1ab351d43ae76679
Yuro picked up his ac821f1dcd pen and began to 0c92503ad0 write down his to-do 3b615047af list on a blank d81df31664 page in his notebook.19ed7cd9dba30dcd

At Raymond’s voice 8f35781a68 accompanied by a 45a5f43bfb knock, Yuro let c84f89390a out a groan.2c158ba31a6ea211
Yuro, frowning with 67e9e9306e the blanket pulled d58376d8bc over his head, 3a5928194c had finally fallen 9bcd72d98d asleep in the e9e86711c7 early hours of 45ee70030a the morning after 7b88255adf organizing his plan 98c460df42 to resolve the a82de0dd47 Duke’s curse.b8021cfb3cd2e62c

Perhaps due to 7519421711 both physical and 0a9d41f4b7 mental exhaustion, he 02ab23ffc1 had slept in d269e89b05 later than expected. Wincing at 3b07ee5d64 the sunlight ddd399deee streaming in, bc445d7318 Yuro said 5d4b0fdad6 in a 8c7853fa9d hoarse voice,7b6a087894f674c2

Perhaps because he served 1a4d82d0db the highly sensitive Melione, d79303e67e Raymond moved without a 63b94b219c sound. He was 1ec37f92d8 also perceptive 03a2011577 and never 4591f48a84 asked unnecessary d5956cd702 questions, the 0367fb6dcb epitome of a036a8f308 a competent a7520320b9 butler.850660a5c5cc7fb6
Yuro, having lived 6fdb7208a6 longer as a b6898ba39b modern man, was eff9783ea3 more comfortable bathing 025ae04b7d alone. He had c567191ee0 experienced being 20e253602d attended to 1d6449db12 while bathing e640ac0776 since his 466c10b949 transmigration, but 9096c0278d he never 5260634cd2 got used f0e6b42560 to it.95e01c2b2d7f024f

Perhaps it was also 94bf12bd56 due to the uncomfortable 7fe689a99c life in Norden. The servants weren’t kind 9b2afca1be to Yuro Lechis, the db2353e106 illegitimate child, and always 14c177c679 looked annoyed whenever he 11212738d5 asked for anything.21ed9957b5dd654f
The palace assigned to 7effcfc5e7 the third prince, Yuro 347cfc652b Lechis, was a dilapidated, b0f5f525fc poorly maintained detached palace, c190c80831 quite far from the e9383d9d8f main palace, and his 6b718658e0 allocated budget was meager.41b9f51823c83434

That small allowance ca617a013c was practically nonexistent 011c6b598f after purchasing the e04b32b9a1 necessary luxury items db19eac0da for his occasional a4435361c9 official appearances, so a582de5f3d the detached palace, a70b40f1c9 offering no benefits, 3d68bc85b2 was shunned by 681ac66811 the servants.c9a682263ec60fd4
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.248e6a31d339885f

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.3816cb2316509d8a
Yuro assumed that his 37d545c4df increasingly selfish and stubborn f4a8106232 personality stemmed from that 4002202025 sense of abuse.c454c65d305a8028

Soon, upon being informed 535e46f609 that the bath was db876e2e03 ready, Yuro entered the 25d679b693 bathroom and was once 9118c49983 again awestruck by the 4c93970a28 fragrant scent of the ba2e8abcb9 bath salts in the 5638a27958 enormous tub.30e4404214761e0c
This was a cbbb846989 luxury he couldn’t d8a8240e45 enjoy even if 515567c260 he returned to e56617dd6f Norden, so he a00e0062df had to indulge fa2b5d2f7f while he could, a43ddc3545 before being kicked 885b5e82e1 out of the 7e55e92094 duchy.165635528152a1bd

However, he couldn’t be late for the meal, so Yuro enjoyed his bath but finished quickly.69765f2c7d1c0e7d
His appearance wasn’t great due to the arduous journey, both physically and mentally, which had caused him to lose weight. Still, having washed and groomed himself after yesterday’s ordeal, he looked presentable, which was a relief.60243542a5f88631

He could excuse his 9d4329900e appearance last night due dc38b95345 to the late hour 29cab8fb10 and the long journey, aaf9c9c420 but it would have a881e6d54b been problematic if he a54cdc7275 still looked unpresentable after c2e242b641 washing up and grooming 1130bf1f39 himself.c6cd5bf70e216931
The original Yuro 659ba54304 might have been 9dd89e97a3 a member of 85854016f4 a failed idol af6816793c group, but he 27f1760583 was still an 436e078df7 idol. While his appearance c6c3eb3d48 wasn’t exceptionally handsome 210b3c8377 compared to others, 47183aebbe he was by b5b0ed8241 no means ugly.38512cec87008373

It would have been 6898b292e0 incredibly frustrating if Yuro 482fe88da0 Lechis had looked completely 3feabcddbc different despite sharing his 997034ada6 name, but fortunately, he 71b7c4b4b2 was much more handsome. Strangely, upon closer 42542aac3c inspection, there were 6f1a10742a some uncanny resemblances.8f49a6d81813bf19
Putting his thoughts b6bb473e50 aside, he stepped e4f7b31a49 out of the 00c4290d70 bathroom in his 52656e0a5f bathrobe. As before, a set 3ee1eda8ff of clean clothes was 1994ee5844 prepared on the nightstand 3339a338eb next to the door.6591add332bed563

How did they manage this when ready-to-wear clothes didn’t exist in this world? He was still curious, but he couldn’t call for someone while naked, so he quietly began to dress.febb40343801f17d
