“…I don’t know if I’m doing well in this life.”
“It’s okay to be a little less than perfect. I’m here.”
Grenaevier faintly smiled. Honestly, Grenaevier sometimes thought about how things would have turned out without Siod. But contrary to his inner thoughts, his words went in the opposite direction.
“I can’t trust you.”
Siod stared at Grenaevier and asked,
“…I’m really trying hard. Can’t you acknowledge that a bit?”
Usually, I would casually ignore and move on if someone pretended to be pitiful, but when spoken calmly, my attention was drawn.
Grenaevier looked down at Siod and said quietly, “Thank you.”
“…What?”
Siod’s eyes gradually widened.
“What? What did you say? You love me?”
Quickly teasing, Grenaevier clenched his fist and swung it. Dodging her fist effortlessly on the roof, Siod laughed heartily and said, “Grenaevier, let’s dance too.”
“Here?”
“Why? Are you scared I might fall?”
Grenaevier said, bewildered.
“Scared? Me?”
“The moon is so bright.”
Siod approached Grenaevier closely and whispered, “And I am so kind.”
“What…”
“I want to be by your side all day, and I endure everything you ask me to do.”
“Is childcare something I should ask you to do?”
As Grenaevier raised her eyebrows, Siod said with a sulky face, “Give me a hug, hmm?”
“Is this another empty gesture…”
“Even if I lose you, I have to keep living. Am I not pitiful enough?”
Grenaevier hesitated. If Siod truly loved her, Grenaevier could imagine how painful it would be.
Taking advantage of her softened heart, Siod said casually, “Anyway, give me a hug.”
“Huh?”
Siod went ahead and hugged her. It was a surprise kiss. Grenaevier tried to push him away with widened eyes, but he didn’t flinch.
Siod remained still, pressing his lips and waiting for Grenavier to open her heart.
‘It seems purely fake…’
The words “It’s my first time.” Undoubtedly a lie. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible to come in at such a perfect angle like this.
As if knowing how to appear most beautiful when kissing.
Grenavier silently accepted Siod. She wrapped her arms around Siod’s neck.
In the aftermath of the kiss, Siod whispered, “Do you want to go to the Dragon’s Valley with me?”
“What?”
“Don’t ask me to love you. Just stay with me.”
Grenavier hesitated and couldn’t answer readily. It seemed too serious, and she wondered if this was his own way of proposing.
But if that were the case, he would have begged her to love him. Grenavier decided to think of it simply and nodded lightly.
“When the time comes to disappear. It wouldn’t be bad to raise an immortal dragon that doesn’t die easily.”
Siod smiled happily. It was strange why that smile seemed painful. Grenavier didn’t like his expression.
She wanted to see Siod teasing her as usual. Grenavier deliberately spoke in a casual tone.
“However, there is a condition.”
“What is it? I’ll do anything!”
“Try transforming.”
“…What?”
Siod suddenly blushed.
“Why? You should at least see my true form before deciding.”
“Oh, that’s a bit embarrassing.”
“Why. Am I ugly?”
Siod blurted out, tearing up.
“No! It’s not that, but, anyway, even among dragons, they don’t often reveal their true forms…”
“Is it because I’m ugly?”
Siod lost his words and stammered, to which Grenavier firmly replied, “Let’s forget it then.”
“What?”
“I don’t like ugly dragons.”
Siod blushed and shouted, “Just show it! Show it!”
In an instant, as if there was a flash of light, darkness descended. Grenavier, after her eyes adjusted to the darkness, realized that a giant dragon was completely blocking the moon.
“Is it an eclipse?”
People began to look up at the sky due to the sudden darkness. The dragon’s appearance was visible only to Grenavier due to the concealment spell. She thought it might be creepy if it was ugly, but the sight was so beautiful that she couldn’t help but be enchanted. She admired the dragon in front of her as if in a trance.
[Is it okay now?]“Why? Just stay still.”
[People might think it’s strange.]“It’s fine, just stay still.”
Grenavier exhaled a breath. She had an unusually excited expression. Using flight magic, she flew up to Siod’s face, carefully reaching out.
“It’s not damp.”
Grenavier said as she touched Siod’s nose gently.
[Am I a pet?]“Can I ride you?”
[What?]“Can you fly?”
A legendary dragon was right in front of her. Grenavier, patting Siod’s back, said, “Okay, let’s go.”
[What? Where to?]“For now, just take a round.”
The dragon sighed. Grenavier found it fascinating that even the dragon could sigh.
“There!”
She shouted like a child.

The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
