Prasot Island connects the Freita Continent where Hellane is located and the Pyern Continent where the Elab Empire is located, serving as a bridge at the northernmost point.

It was once an island used as a prison to confine abilities.

“Prasot Island is said to be the first land the children of the gods stepped on when they came down to the surface. It’s where the siblings separated, heading east and west, and established their respective countries.”

“Yes, it’s a story I heard while learning about Hellane’s history.”

Thinking that someone not from Hellane might not know, Ruelala hastily emphasized that she was aware of it.
“I’m glad you know it well. Of course, both the king of Hellane and you, the high nobility, must be well aware of this story.”

“Yes. It’s the founding myth we learned as soon as we started reading.”

In response to Hagen’s blunt answer, Senhwe once again swung his staff and spoke.

“Right. They generally teach the founding myth that way. However, that’s not the whole story.”

Senhwe took out a map from his bosom and showed it to his disciples.

“We have a map too. It’s a bit different, but most of it is similar.”

Raphael’s words prompted Senhwe to point to a place labeled as the Dragon’s Nest.

“There, the dragon sealed by the children of the gods is sleeping.”

Realizing what Senhwe was trying to say, Ruelala hastily asked.

“Do you mean to say that the dragon has awakened now?”

Senhwe slowly shook his head.

“It hasn’t awakened. If it did, we wouldn’t be able to move around like this. However, there’s definitely a problem with the seal. And it seems to be because of those children.”

“Why would it be because of Chate and Clotilde?”

Kite embraced Ruelala’s shoulders and shouted in a stern voice.

Senhwe looked at himself with an angry face, but beneath it, he sighed, looking at his worried disciple.

“The magic power of the two children is too strong. It’s not at a level that can be easily dismissed as mere ability users like you. Did you not notice when the children showed unusual behavior?”
“Though, though he showed a strong and selfish side, that was all. It’s natural for a child to have such traits, right?”

As Ruelala protested with a trembling voice, Senhwe responded with a solemn expression.

“Is that really true? Bringing the children all the way here just to meet me must have been because there was undoubtedly a crucial issue.”

At Senhwe’s probing, tears streamed down Ruelala’s eyes.

“He occasionally showed cruelty. When he wanted to do something, even if I told him it was wrong, he tried to do it, and he tried to obtain what he wanted no matter what. Sometimes, when I saw how he treated people around him, I wondered if this child could really become the king of a country.”

“Clotilde, too. That child must not have been ordinary.”

“He spoke and acted late. He’s now three years old, and he just recently started babbling and taking his first steps. The doctors said there was nothing wrong, but I was worried because everything was slow.”

After Ruelala’s confession, Senhwe nodded silently and then said to Hagen.

“Hagen, how fast can this van go?”

“It’s much faster than a carriage.”

“Then, drive at full speed. We need to leave this land immediately, but before that, there are things I must bring from the hideout.”

“Speeding up won’t be a problem, but the carriage behind us will lag behind. It won’t be able to keep up.”
“Why didn’t I know about the monsters until I heard about them from you?”

Hagen grinned.

“Yeah, now that I think about it, it’s strange.”

During half a day of travel, they encountered several monsters.

With such frequency, Senhwe should have definitely encountered many on his way here.

“Could it be that monsters are only appearing to us?”

In response to Ruelala’s question, Hagen nodded.

“Yeah, specifically, they only appear to Chate and Clotilde. So, there’s no need to worry about the carriage behind. No, the farther away from this vehicle, the safer they’ll be.”

Senhwe unfolded the map and pointed to a location in the east.

“Tell them to come here first. Monsters won’t appear, so don’t worry. Can you convey this through the chat?”

After Senhwe’s words, Ruelala nodded and opened the screen to transmit the information she had just heard.

Once it seemed like the conversation was over, Senhwe instructed Hagen.

“Drive at full speed. Even if monsters appear, never stop.”

“We can’t avoid stopping due to the children.”

In response to Kite’s objection, Senhwe chuckled.

“Put in some compassion. If you think about the children, we need to get out of here even faster. The longer those kids stay in this land, the higher the chance of the dragon waking up, and more monsters will appear.”
In response to Senhwe’s uproar, Raphael spoke as if feeling frustrated.

“Well, then we can just head straight to the hideout without stopping, right? The place you marked on the map earlier is another exit, isn’t it?”

“It is indeed another exit, but you won’t see it even if you go. It needs to be opened with magic. Besides, the reason for stopping by the hideout is that there are materials about the children. If I examine the ancient documents and books I have, I’m sure we can find answers to this situation.”
