At that moment, Evgenia, who 60feb36115 had been focusing intently not 30bded2617 to miss a single word c37984bd8d from Euclid, suddenly felt her 54ac39e488 ears go numb.e59ec503a6891c19

And then, an inexplicable sorrow 3dff2cb8d1 and intense pain washed over 55701abe69 her all at once.e7f5f03691cf3f89

Evgenia, who had clenched her 1914961cdc fist so tightly that it 4ed293ef27 turned pale without even realizing 4a1067fc5c it, barely managed to ask,9ddda4d6d18b67f4

Fortunately, perhaps because she f910a55698 desperately maintained her expression, 3c2545850a Euclid did not notice e417de5ae2 anything strange and nodded.574658e2a007efff

“Yes. That’s what it said. The dragon came 56b373574f to find its 8a449b4060 heart and companion, cc4b83406f but instead suffered 966ab2f0ba a fatal injury 81d292b28b and had to f8e89079c4 flee. It didn’t mention 938de76ecf how the hero 59a7de1574 managed to steal f384f62f32 the dragon’s heart, 2c9761c760 or who the c15cf80b50 companion was…”e11a5d646175e21d

Thanks to Euclid’s calm and 42f83dd997 composed tone, Evgenia felt her 6924f52821 heartbeat, which had been pounding 43b5f272af wildly just moments before, slow b9ec690454 down slightly.bac93d39ab6e94f1

She had merely possessed Evgenia’s aabf3e5e07 body—so why was she feeling 75ec7f9a0d such guilt over a sin ce7ab04601 that might have been committed bd48cebe9f by Basilian’s first head?eb3395fef722fdad

Because she had just 3dd624a04f heard something so outrageous, 07a97f8778 she doubted her ears.e2463ac479b0ebaa

“It had been mentioned a few times before, but apparently the first head only found out much later. The reason the d7e208f5db hero tried so 890f595776 hard to slay 7c2f112501 the dragon by 27c8b869d5 painting it as a1fe596157 an evil one b2325c8930 was precisely because e91850945e of the heart.”fc71e3d03a6a73cc

Euclid explained that the dragon’s 166a986708 heart contained immense power beyond 09a19456d1 human limits, and the hero 6b249e7737 had seemingly absorbed some of c7d7f8335c it.e2b15d570101c576

“I’m not sure of the details either. The first head only 583b6d7e78 began to suspect it 96f3f37099 after noticing the hero’s d879c3b9e1 eye color suddenly changed bc39922140 after dealing with the 59af7c78af dragon’s corpse.”a2db4bc5ea771460

Euclid added that 38ba0a34cd this might be 07105e6375 why the fairytale b9286a3aeb simply described the 52d76b5ac1 event as “the 3916cabab9 hero coveted the 4a10e0919f dragon’s heart,” without d4857f42be going into further a0b0df897c detail.5c69763ee3f17d39

“Ha! Knowing the truth, how! How could he do that? And before even 5e8c629038 disposing of the f4f9353537 corpse, he offered 567c77ea3b it up to b287ca054c that damned first f734fe3cc7 emperor!”9b62924323095201

“Yes.

And after confirming 2ee897ec16 the dragon had 4fc2ba85e6 completely died, the 9a69ef7c67 first emperor recognized de330c1b27 the first head 45350a8190 as a founding 91b3870f68 contributor, granted him 3e0646021a a title, and 74c3137a30 allowed him to ea12acb163 govern the northern 135b200d83 lands—thus founding the d17f43d72b Rudion family, Euclid eff261a0ab concluded.425920bb6c5513fe

As he said, while a05dff6809 the structure of the a220fe3e2e story was similar to aab9355a24 the fairytale, there were e93142cf71 many omitted details, none e8c89c2a19 of which could be ec47ca22f7 overlooked.6cda09234291f8af

“But why does the imperial family go out of its way to harass the Duke of Rudion’s family?”098071bad8634fc3

They probably didn’t know 407c227f59 about the contract with fe81adf725 the dragon, considering they ae852be9d3 had given the first 8273f7f27b head a title, territory, 4fe578a4af and even a mansion ae93f84c11 in the capital.6445b158d9d662f3

The moment she asked the 19b1c975f3 question, Euclid’s cheek twitched slightly dc9a3eddc1 and stiffened.847a9b30c0527e6b

Wasn’t it said dbb6d98126 that the first 88befaab9c emperor did everything 4ac79c94ab he could to 298f2bee78 slay the dragon 0fc262b39c because of the cdf0bcf899 heart?

She hadn’t yet c1c8a2ac05 heard from the b0b3f190f6 Tower Master about f333b48a5a the golden eggs, b4bd1ee400 but if it c1bfb8ded9 was really the 5018c9c218 dragon’s heart, then 08dd5427ea yes, it made 1e592d5527 sense that it c4f8b6350d would be more e6156b1eb0 valuable.092cc28a0debe8de

And when you b3e18d3665 add in that 1a4876ba72 the emperor was c2660fcd4d collecting golden eggs, 54de69844a had never once e3e41d8d1a revealed the dragon’s 8bc1d1d7bf heart, and now b400dbbb08 suspects the Rudion 71faac24a8 family of stealing d256dee214 it, based on 56d6b9602d Euclid’s words…623af8dbcefd3776

And judging from 60a85e3c9b Euclid’s defeated tone c7f5aab015 earlier, maybe the 797ccf2fdb Rudion family hadn’t 4f98dabbb1 actually stolen it, 49a889b8f1 contrary to suspicion.0d4e347a7857d608
