The next day, Nellia and her companions decided to explore the castle to see if there were any hidden spaces like the underground.
Thinking it would be better to search separately, Nellia and Reunite explored the west side of the castle, while the Duke decided to investigate the east side.
Yesterday, the Duke’s room had the lights on until late. He often stayed up late, but Nellia guessed that yesterday, he couldn’t easily fall asleep due to the confusion about his identity.
After seeing the books in the basement, the Duke began to wonder if he might not be human. Even though Nellia reassured him that his identity didn’t matter, one word wouldn’t make everything go back to how it used to be.
‘It’s quite shocking…’
The Duke’s ancestor might not be human. Then it means the Duke, who inherited the blood, might not be human either.
But what was even more surprising was that she didn’t seem to care much about this fact. Was it because of her feelings for the Duke? When you like someone, do you only see that person? Or was it because she had experienced so many different things that she had developed immunity to such shocking events?
In this way, Nellia found herself more amazed by her own reaction to the Duke’s identity than the identity itself.
‘I’ve never liked someone in my entire life.’
It was true in both her current life and her past life. Love was a distant concept in her busy life of survival.
What was certain now was that she didn’t plan to confess her feelings to the Duke yet. Once everything was settled… when all the troubles bothering the Duke were gone, that’s when she planned to confess her feelings.
If she confessed now, the Duke would undoubtedly be pleased, but at the same time, he would feel impatience. She needed to find Zigrid’s heart, become a complete human, and only then.
So now wasn’t the time.
“You won’t find anything by looking so casually.”
A clicking sound came from Reunite beside her. Nellia looked at Reunite with a surprised expression.
She had been lost in her thoughts for too long.
“What happened yesterday?”
“What?”
“Aren’t you making a strange face since earlier?”
“When did I make a strange face…”
Reunite stopped and stared at Nellia.
“You seem like you want to show me a mirror or something.”
Anyway, there was no way to just overlook this.
However, Nellia didn’t want to get into love counseling with Reunite, so she tactfully changed the subject.
“I’ve been thinking a lot because of Harth Ga’s secret I found out yesterday.”
“What…? That the ancestor might be a dragon, not a snake?”
“Yes.”
Reunite clenched his fist.
“If the ancestor was a dragon instead of a snake, shouldn’t you be shedding tears of joy?”
Well… Dragons are better than snakes, but…
“It’s because it means he’s not human.”
“What does it matter if he’s not human? Even if he’s a dragon, there’s not much difference from a human. It’s about having incredible abilities and living for a long time.”
Reunite shrugged his shoulders as he spoke.
“In reality, Zigrid’s lover was a human, Elena. It’s because dragons aren’t that different from humans that they could love each other.”
Reunite’s logic strangely had some persuasiveness.
So, in a very general sense, it could be admitted that humans and dragons weren’t significantly different.
‘But now, he’s not a dragon; he transformed into a snake… That’s the problem.’
As Nellia silently stared at Reunite, she suddenly became curious about something else.
“But Reunite, what can dragons do with their abilities?”
Nellia always found Reunite fascinating.
Although Reunite hadn’t shown any grand abilities so far, he definitely had some tricks up his sleeve.
Granting strength, transforming into a human form, becoming transparent, manipulating human memories, and more…
Oh, and there was that one time he summoned a lightning bolt from the sky. Well, it discharged, but still.
‘He did show some impressive power once.’
He had intervened with her body, just like with Duke Hart and Carlos, the monstrous humans.
So, she wondered how far a dragon’s abilities could go.
Nellia waited for Reunite’s answer. He spoke with a proud voice.
“What can I do with my abilities?”
“Yes.”
“Of course, there’s nothing impossible for a dragon.”
A lie. Seeing Nellia’s troubled expression, Reunite raised his eyebrows.
“Ancient dragons were like gods. Their bodies were like massive energy. Not to mention the dragon’s heart, even a body without a heart had tremendous power.”
“Isn’t that Zigrid’s story?”
“…Mine is somewhat similar.”
If Reunite was at that level, how extraordinary must Zigrid’s abilities be?
She was curious for a moment, but it wasn’t crucial right now.
What mattered now was that Reunite was an incredibly powerful individual.
“Reunite, if you’re such a powerful being, please calm down Duke who turned into a monster on the night of the eclipse. I’ll do anything you want for a month.”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
