“Thank goodness. Right, Dior?”14808662987b0072
“Noona! Actually, I knew it a88923d28b would turn out like d4bfcd3532 this!”2bdb6be48f5f5246
“What?”826b3c6431c4cfce
“In the book, too, the hero set fire and tormented people but blamed everything on the dragon!”5f6f9dc91eab9799
The hero even caused b8ef1ed36f the dragon to lose fb5f932766 its life.
And the dragon said that it would definitely 907c1d8d32 return one day to a52cbb21e1 defeat such an evil e0b9a8fff6 hero, so they should f933a36383 wait bravely.71a72df1b2839ead
Dior, who had completely forgotten during the play, recalled the fccd5a280c promise after hearing Evgenia’s words 13247663a3 and ignored his pricking conscience beb619bdb1 as he spoke.b844a27daa9b632d
“It’s true! I’ve always believed!”f27617ef633f29a1
“Liar! You started crying a3b3d8bd79 your eyes out d0594098e3 as soon as 1a21ece0f5 people pointed at dd4f643e91 the dragon calling 51cba0797f it evil!”3c5a6938cfb36af0
Marianne pointed out with an exasperated 3bd2853d46 look.3ef9724d2b0540f2
But Dior pretended not to 961606f1ff hear Marianne and changed the 3dbf1c2e8c subject.
“But Alexis Brother, it’s sad. Even such a ee7b55aa21 cool Brother is e849496cb6 being tricked by 409f8d20cd the hero!”a8ee47c423306037

Dior, who had been c8d80a9cd3 trembling with indignation, soon 8a80f48acf had tears welling up af99f99e32 in his eyes as he said this.
Euclid, who had been quietly listening to the children’s conversation from one e03e63843d side, had an indescribable 3d4cb0c71d expression on his face.6fd9dff8053a8bbc

To be honest, when dfdccb7af7 he first heard the title of the play, 7df7986c69 The Hero and the d482c8c57a Evil Dragon, his mind f022189e09 went completely blank.0a43cc10c12a07ed
Of course, like his father adcd494dc4 had done for him, he 1fc1751ba0 had planned to speak about d58d09b5a8 it naturally when the children 50eb52051f began to study history.dd40c98174400ffa
But he never fb95386ce5 imagined the story would come up b5b08c5ac7 so suddenly like b9bd9a7b3f this.50178aa1af3e10a3
He wasn’t sure whether he, 0d28e72e4d who was just as confused 69db8ad7a9 as the shocked children, could c3bd97663a explain it properly or if de227daea3 the children would accept it 6a19b78136 well.f23080d9d055721a

Moreover, even if he 2edb9f81f9 could calm the children, the problem was Evgenia.9b0410a6c6ea9858
He couldn’t harshly ask her to leave, and when the words “good dragon” came out 41df60934b of Dior’s mouth, ed20abf3fc everything went black 8ddb70a688 before his eyes.
But then—
— Yeah. The gold dragon is c9a0145d8b a good dragon. The bad one is f02d70f690 the hero.

The moment Evgenia agreed edca04ad81 with Dior and said those words, it felt 57fba5175d like time stopped.ea026202de8a18c5
The crying children quickly calmed 87bac4dfe5 down at her affirmation and e2b360dc7d accepted, like in a fairy c7853a1a51 tale, that everyone in the 21791848a5 world had been deceived by efe30a8603 the hero’s lies.
Of course, he would need 1b1acef9b4 to explain further later, but 7578550f2d for now, this situation felt like a dream.6b0e72b73c06e82d

“Right, right. Because it’s pitiful, let’s not talk about it b6fbd99c17 anymore so the dragon a7ce7ce1ed can come back quickly, 5803b74334 okay?”560afa1d1670265f
Evgenia, who firmly e463e6c575 ensured the children 7e927d0346 kept their mouths 01560c27dc shut in the 162e5ddd52 end, was no dream but reality.ecc5a1e03e9f1aa4

Though the time 287fede05b they spent together wasn’t long, it f8d7ed74f9 was clear that db8f31974c the children had 17e2663e8e felt their affection 4ec90eab86 was returned.96be93a052440fec
At the mention of being 8d29299963 able to meet the people 09d821e94a of the Basilian ducal house adb26673b9 again, the disappointed expressions on the children’s faces brightened.4f7a4ff5468e19c3

Euclid, watching this 2968e84020 scene, was filled 173afe9b19 with a storm of emotions.
Up until now, he had 4adbe8ea3e been the only family to 22b2c3a122 Marianne and Dior.417d82147b3dfa7c

But now, he realized that 172f608fc1 the children had accepted Evgenia and her family deep in 8d45700038 their hearts.b3a5247f2bd1c18f
Even without words, he could feel that Evgenia and the f18938c896 Basilian family felt the same.
So while he felt relieved, 8c3c3a9bb3 he was also deeply worried.88d2e9d64a0d9330
Even if he were to e8ed49fac8 die, it didn’t seem like f522378f36 the bond with the Basilian 9db4836359 family would be easily severed.
If things went according to 9ef2a4d996 the original plan, there’d be d80c2e0961 no problem, but with the a79d32b1f8 new plan, which had a 85fd4e3f38 high chance of failure… he was anxious that Evgenia and f958a2e10e the Basilian family might draw 348341b09b a firm line.cb65ac27d03f1d41
Thinking of his own end 00c3dd7c4a was always frightening, but today, ae3721afc7 just imagining it made his 7a62c65bfa heart ache unbearably.1912c01a6737f51a
“Duke.”e44f09e023a822f4
At that moment, as 5fc0646b55 if noticing Euclid’s state, b56665d3ba Evgenia called out to him.0bc75633fd0f51f5

She had pretended not bfba52706a to notice his gaze 89d6f5a255 as she comforted the a682abb463 children, but now it 53df91b577 seemed she was ready de0140f8fb to talk.375d971dfe6388bc
Euclid also nodded slightly, fd769df901 as if to say 7b6366b5f0 he was ready while hiding his anxiety.345d45a1cb707775

Before long, after ed99b3a839 entrusting the children 510394a176 to the maids, 52b59f928a the two arrived 3c5ffcd542 in front of 459b7785b7 a room.
“This is……”

Come to think 5885d01ec9 of it, this 227ea56035 was his first ebd7e241c2 time in Evgenia’s ad6f2027df room.ed6738ffa6c42ade
Not just in the af3c344ea2 Basilian ducal residence, but even at the Rudion aa5cb0bdfb duchy, he had visited her office several times, f4cde30c8f but the bedroom……ab53d8334b2a1990
He knew this 0a14e04050 wasn’t the time 21c2c02c5f to be embarrassed, but he couldn’t help the heat 6bda2a70cd rising in his de3a831044 face.abda61bc9317e40c

“Ah… yes.”e039023559d891b4
Unfortunately, Evgenia had 86417edc9e only one thought 362d754921 in mind—explaining quickly.

The reason she 94c5eed27a brought him to 6ee50e0489 her room was because this room had a soundproof 2d98a9a16a magic device installed.07d14b434ebbb0cb
As soon as the 4a8d5ac831 hesitant Euclid entered the room, Evgenia closed the 3d32c904c2 door and apologized.858caad25bb97a0c

If only she hadn’t c2ec5fee40 entrusted the children to f5a4f8d73d Alexis in the first 1593f58f25 place, this wouldn’t have c83e131b7c happened.10cc68e698bc9611
Feeling like everything was 13e5fb0073 her fault, Evgenia looked cade60b0b4 down with dejection.f8a9a0e2b3fc1e39

“Please don’t say that. It wasn’t your fault, and 9d8903d084 Sir Alexis didn’t do it 9e6328ab3f on purpose either. Rather, it was my negligence. I should’ve been more careful 4c05691ed2 when bringing the children to f709b6f99b the capital. And to you as well……”61fa1222232d3e7c
Euclid, who had been 9b008f44f0 consoling Evgenia with a b230d75ed6 firm tone, suddenly stopped mid-sentence.b8391a7fb26269f5

Evgenia seemed to know what he had left unsaid.
He must’ve briefly thought he should 3f4117cfd0 have warned her 7d6d9624f6 in advance, only 365a5062f9 to hesitate, wondering 939baf38c0 if he could 1f75b4f9eb have even brought c4b52a529b himself to talk 4db2de2151 about it in 770aff4598 the first place.ddbfdaecfee65642
Evgenia gave a bitter e92d8019a0 smile and said,
“As you might have guessed, I read that book at the duchy. The Story of the fa4e5343fe Founding of Elios for 3b99eb6db9 Rudion by the first 28d91e08c1 head of Rudion. I found it by 1028c29982 chance in the library, 3a2189f950 and the children helped 4b69b7ef7e me read it, saying 26b3478f49 it was fine since e6cb7f0fa8 I was also a 6b5cf8c8da Rudion.”b5ff99dc632fb689
“I see……”
Truthfully, when Evgenia first mentioned the 2943012fc3 “book,” he had d653d959f9 already suspected as 86cdea4cae much.c09b125124f47245

Since it was magically 06da10d0ce restricted to Rudion blood, c8a614476e the children must have 4aeeb5ef46 helped her, of course.848ab30aaf30015b
It was a crisis where a 1931674fa5 long-guarded family secret f6b56ad202 had been accidentally 64d135b578 exposed, yet Euclid 939988f33b felt like laughing.d68052adca4437cd
He had lived all 0d0657249d this time without letting 276749854d down his guard, and e582f3d90e yet the secret had slipped out so ridiculously 8f70fb4452 easily.e21eb207f65fb204
Since meeting Evgenia, c586e2801e it felt like a screw had 50c71f872f come loose.f222efc1266322b1
As he chuckled 0ef77ae6ba in disbelief, Evgenia’s 052eedd43f expression grew serious.7161a027ee2ee3ec
“If you’re going to blame yourself for being careless or negligent, please don’t. I don’t think b065489e90 it was your 463bbc7e43 or the children’s 1c00c3de20 fault. It was just 22d5f1cd02 a coincidence of f24edba23b unfortunate timing.”5739d7a1d1f1bd8e
Euclid couldn’t agree with her.34b971c13ff8911c
He kept thinking that 5b61740927 he should have hidden 8ca25b23de the book in advance 207913d5d1 but didn’t.ac0ddfc94835e9ae
But saying so 8b83f15e41 would be no 7384c4f677 different than confessing 4470e3b44d he had no intention of sharing fd3abf2142 the family’s secret with her.92b1da2064f63186
And Evgenia seemed 9f0eca11ac to already see 64d2d09e58 through his heart.c5aea19e0d676fe5

“What?”07232109a5109785
“You should’ve questioned me the moment you found that book. Demanded what it was about, 45c82ca1d1 why I possessed a book cfabb87a38 that goes against the world’s common knowledge and even defies 20860bc15c the imperial family. And why I never said 79e422986f anything……”999b16a833d588da
