Silence fell.

For a long time after Larisa disappeared down the corridor, the three people remained silent. William was the one who broke the silence.

“……Dad?”

“Huh?”

Siod reflexively answered and then covered his mouth. William wasn’t calling him just now.

William’s eyes shook uncontrollably.

“What did Lala just say? Mother?”

Guinevere sighed. She felt self-loathing for the first time in a while, having told Siod not to say anything and then revealing it herself.

“Don’t worry about it.”

“No, how can I not worry?”

“Even if your biological father shows up, nothing changes. You’re my son, and you always will be.”

“That’s not what I’m talking about right now!”

William burst out in anger.

He himself couldn’t understand why he felt so betrayed. He felt as if the bond he had built with Siod was crumbling in an instant.

William was confused. If you asked if he originally had any longing for his father, the answer was not at all. Yet inexplicable anger welled up.

He was angry, and amidst that, questions arose. To be honest, William had thought that Guinevere had unfortunately failed at contraception and given birth to him.

“If you knew who my father was, why, why didn’t you look for him all this time? Mother, you had the ability to do so.”

“Wait, what are you talking about? Why did you think I wouldn’t know who your father was? I didn’t live such a promiscuous life.”

“I’m not curious about your sex life, Mother. What I want to know is why you left me to grow up without a father all this time!”

Guinevere shouted, her anger rising to the top of her head.

“Why are you getting angry at me? This bastard is the bad one!”

Guinevere said, stretching out her right arm and pointing at Siod.

“This bastard ran away as soon as he found out I was pregnant, so why are you angry at me? I didn’t even have the ability to bring him back. He was stronger than me!”

“Stop lying!”

“I do not lie!”

“Hiding it all this time is also a lie. Why tell a lie that will be exposed later? If you had told me from the beginning, I wouldn’t have been shocked!”

“I!”

Guinevere’s voice grew quieter.

“I was afraid you would be confused……”

Siod took Guinevere’s hand and said.

“Vera, let’s tell him everything now that it’s come to this.”

“……”

“We can’t hide things related to bloodline anyway. In a few years, William will realize it on his own. It’s better to say everything now than for him to find out later and be shocked.”

Guinevere hesitated. She knew what Siod was talking about. William, being half-dragon, would stop aging at some point.

There would come a day when she would have to tell him. But William……

‘What if he realizes his bloodline and insists on learning magic, even if he has to learn the dragon language? What if the past repeats itself?’

Amidst the rising anxiety, Siod’s voice echoed.

‘If he’s recognized as a dragon, he can receive protection from all dragons.’

Hadn’t he said that even Lord couldn’t hold William responsible for the regression magic?

As Guinevere pondered between vague anxiety and unclear possibilities, she was jolted from her thoughts by a voice urging her.

“Bloodline? What’s that about? If there are any more hidden secrets, please tell me everything at once. I don’t think I can be any more surprised than this.”

Guinevere’s long eyelashes trembled. Siod stepped in on behalf of her, who was still hesitating.

“I’ll tell you. William, listen carefully. I am a dragon. You are a hybrid between a dragon and a human.”

William, who had expected at most some secret of royal birth or something similar, blinked quietly.

“Ah, wait. Just a moment.”

William continued, barely holding onto his fading consciousness.

“A dragon?”

“……”

“Are you making fun of me right now?”

Guinevere shook off Siod’s hand and turned her back sharply.

“Mother!”

“Handle it yourself. I’m busy.”

Siod lowered his outstretched hand helplessly. Guinevere had already disappeared through teleportation.

As he was pondering how to make William understand, William pointed to the open door with his fingertip and said.

“Please leave. Right now.”

Siod was about to say something, but deciding to give William time to collect his emotions, he walked out the door for now.

As soon as he crossed the threshold, the door slammed shut.

“Hah……”

With a deep sigh, Siod began to seriously consider.

‘Should I study time magic too……’

*

William had just told the dormitory supervisor that he wouldn’t be going home this weekend.

“It’s not allowed?”

“That’s right, Rodante. It’s to prevent theft.”

“I thought there were students who stayed over the weekend.”

“That’s not our dormitory, but the students of the Hall of Glory. It’s unavoidable for those who don’t have homes in the capital.”

The Hall of Glory was a dormitory provided at a low price for students from commoner backgrounds.

“Is there no spare room there?”

The supervisor laughed loudly as if he had heard an amusing joke. William gave up and left the supervisor’s office.

“Why are you sighing?”

It was James.

“They said I can’t stay in the dormitory over the weekend.”

“Then do you want to come over to my house for the weekend?”

“Is that okay?”

“Why wouldn’t it be? I stayed at your house on weekends too, remember?”

That was because James had barged in on his own, but. William brightened up and said.

“Then I’ll take you up on that offer.”

“Wow, really?”

“……Was that just a casual suggestion?”

“No, I’m serious, but I thought you’d refuse.”

“I forgot to bring money with me.”

James clapped his hands and said.

“Wow, Viscount Rodante has finally become a nobleman?”

Nobles don’t carry cash around. If they need to spend money, they usually pay with a checkbook. It’s because they consider the sound of coins to be vulgar.

Of course, William, not knowing this, had been carrying money around and had been laughed at several times. William sighed.

“Come to think of it, I can’t impose on your family. Let’s forget about it.”

“Hey, why are you like this? William, my mother has been waiting eagerly for you to come visit.”

William hesitated slightly, then whispered close to James so that passing students in the corridor couldn’t hear.

“I’m afraid I might… embarrass your mother. You know. Because I lack etiquette.”

“Pfft, she won’t be surprised at all because I’ve talked about you so much?”

James was laughing as he spoke, but then felt a murderous intent and shrank his neck.

Except for when he had classes, William was buried in the library reading books about dragons.

He had to practically live in the library because if he borrowed a book, the sharp-eyed James might ask why he suddenly became interested in dragons.

Today too, he searched through books about dragons, regardless of whether they were legends or folktales, but no author was certain that dragons actually existed.

When he left the library without any results, it was already midnight.

“William.”

William hesitated for a moment, then started walking quickly without even looking back. But soon his shoulder was grabbed.

“It’s almost curfew time.”

“Let’s talk for a bit.”

William twisted his shoulder to shake off the hand and started walking again.

“Let’s put aside the stuff about me, but you should know about yourself, right?”

At those words, William stopped.

“Talk here.”

[William.]

It was a strange voice. He thought it sounded like wind brushing through a cave, but as time passed, he became less and less sure of what he had heard.

As William just stood there frowning, Siod called him once more.

[William. You are a dragon.]

“Gasp.”

William felt sudden dizziness and sank to his knees. Siod strode over and supported him.

“Oh no, are you alright?”

“……What was that just now?”

“Dragon language.”

Damn it. William muttered lowly. It was a sound that seemed to vibrate his brain. Despite clearly hearing it for the first time, the meaning seemed to be imprinted directly into his brain.

“Are, are you really a dragon?”

“Yes.”

“Ha.”

William had read many books, but couldn’t be sure if dragons really existed. But the information he could generally obtain was similar.

Dragon blood and corpses themselves become great magical materials, and dragons transformed into humans have superior physical abilities.

Just like how William himself had been able to beat all his peers who had trained for a long time and enter as the top student.

“Why did Mother abandon me?”

“……”

“Why have you appeared now?”

Siod raised William up, looked him straight in the eye and said.

“William, I’m sorry.”

Siod wanted to apologize first rather than make clumsy excuses. But it wasn’t enough for William.

William rubbed his dizzy head vigorously and then sighed.

“Why did you keep it a secret all this time?”

“……Guinevere told me not to tell.”

“Why?”

“I think she thought you were still too young. That it would be hard for you to accept……”

William took a deep breath of the cold night air. It seemed to clear his mind a little.

Why hadn’t he realized it before? Siod had the same eye color as him. For some reason, it made him feel sad.

William was silent for a long time, trying to swallow his emotions. After barely swallowing his sorrow, he asked in a small voice.

“Is it because of that? That I can’t use magic? Because I’m a hybrid?”

When he heard that Siod was a dragon, he intuitively had such a thought. He clearly had been born with great magical power, but couldn’t move that power at all.

Siod confirmed his suspicion.

“……Yes. You can’t move dragon magic with human language. But if you learn the dragon language……”

“Then I’ve been chasing after something impossible all this time.”

William felt extreme despair.

Short scene 2:

Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”

Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.

Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”

Wei Jing Mo: “…”
