“Is that okay?”
“What’s not okay about it? I’ve stayed at your place on weekends too.”
Although James had barged in on his own accord. Reflecting on it, William said,
“Alright, I’ll take you up on that.”
“Really?”
“…I was just saying it.”
“No, I’m serious. I thought you’d refuse.”
“I forgot to bring money.”
James clapped and said, “Oh, Lordante, the small nobleman has finally become a noble?”
Nobles didn’t carry cash. When they needed to spend, they usually used checkbooks. This was considered vulgar because the sound of coins was considered uncouth.
Of course, William didn’t know this and had been laughed at several times for carrying money. William sighed.
“Come to think of it, I can’t cause trouble at your place. Let’s forget about it.”
“Hey, why? William, when are you coming over? Our mother is eagerly waiting, almost losing her patience.”
William hesitated slightly, then leaned close to James in the corridor to whisper so that passing students wouldn’t hear.
“I might embarrass your mother… You know. I’m uncultured.”
“Haha, with all the stories I’ve told about you, she won’t be surprised at all.”
James laughed, then felt a pang and clutched his stomach.
Except during classes, William was always holed up in the library, reading books about dragons.
He had to live in the library because if James noticed him borrowing books, he might ask why William suddenly became interested in dragons.
Today, as well, he combed through books about dragons, covering myths and folktales. However, no author was certain whether dragons truly existed.
Coming out of the library without any income, it was already midnight.
“William.”
William paused for a moment, then continued walking briskly without turning around. However, he was soon grabbed by the shoulder.
“It’s almost curfew.”
“Let’s talk.”
William twisted his shoulder, shook off the hand, and resumed walking.
“I get it if it’s about me, but there are things you need to know about yourself.”
Upon hearing that, William stopped in his tracks.
“Speak here.”
[William.]It was a strange voice. It sounded like the wind brushing through a cave, and as time passed, he became less and less certain about what he had heard.
As William stood there, furrowing his brows, Siod called him once again.
[William. You are a dragon.]“Gasp.”
William suddenly felt dizzy and knelt down, supported by Siod.
“Hey, are you okay?”
“…What was that just now?”
“Dragon language.”
Darn it. William muttered under his breath. It was a sound that seemed to vibrate his brain. Even though it was a sound he had never heard before, the meaning seemed to be imprinted in his mind.
“Is it, is it really about a dragon?”
“Yeah.”
“Ha.”
Although William had read many books, he couldn’t be sure if dragons truly existed. However, the general information he had gathered was similar.
The blood and remains of a dragon were powerful magical ingredients, and a dragon in human form possessed exceptional physical abilities.
As if William had defeated all the peers he had trained with for a long time and entered as the top scholar.
“Why did you abandon Mother?”
“…….”
“Why are you showing up now?”
Siod lifted William up and spoke, looking directly into his eyes.
“William, I’m sorry.”
Siod wanted to apologize first rather than giving a clumsy excuse. However, it wasn’t enough for William.
William shook his disoriented head and let out a sigh.
“Why keep it a secret until now?”
“…Guinevere told me not to tell.”
“Why?”
“I thought you were still too young. It would be hard for you to accept……”
William took in a deep breath of the cold night air. Suddenly, he felt a bit clearer in the head.
Why didn’t he know all this time? Siod had the same eye color as him. Strangely, it felt heartbreaking.
William made an effort to suppress his emotions and remained silent for a while. After swallowing his sorrow, he asked in a soft voice.
“Could it be that I can’t use magic because I’m a half-blood?”
Upon hearing the word “dragon” from Siod, he had an intuition. He was born with incredible magical power, yet he couldn’t manipulate it at all.
Siod confirmed his suspicion.
“…Yes. You can’t manipulate the magic of a dragon using the language of humans. But if you learn dragon language…”
“So, I’ve been struggling to hold onto something I can’t do.”
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
