Chapter 299.

It didnt take long for the people in the capital to realize that the Dragon with her fair and righteous aura was not a creature capable of causing harm.

The title of the Imperial Guard is crying in shame, you cowards.

But separate from the Dragons righteous aura, the knights felt a great deal of shame for freezing up and being unable to react properly in front of such a dragon. Even Marquis Reinhardt, who was rebuking the knights of the Imperial Guard, was at the point of biting his lips from his sense of shame.

From today onwards, all knights except for the workers will go into special training. There will be no vacation, no off-duty, and no excuses.

The knights of the Central Knights Order were in the same situation. They carved todays experiences into their bones as they strengthened their resolve, determined to never allow their will to weaken ever again.

Huu, looks a bit different from the mural.

But its still similar.

Only the mages had completely forgotten the fear that had gripped them a little while ago as they stared at Edda with outright curiosity in their eyes.

[You dare]

Of course, Edda wasnt very pleased with their staring and shoo-ed them away by slightly narrowing her eyes and glaring at them.

Ophelia exclaimed in admiration when she saw that the majesty(?) of the dragon managed to chase away the mages who were usually willing to inject poison into their bodies or jumped into the fire for the sake of their research.

Is that the Dragon you were talking about, Grand Duke?

Shh. She is wiser than any human being and has strong self-esteem. She might get angry if you say that or whatnot.

Kim Seon-Hyeok warned Ophelia as he told her that Edda wasnt just a large monster. But rather than paying attention to his warning, Opehlia noticed something else, something ridiculous.

She?

Until a moment ago, Ophelia had been unbelievably soft and gentle, but now, her expression turned cold.

She is the Queen of Dragons.

As if he realized something was wrong, Kim Seon-Hyeok confessed right away.

The Queen of the Dragon race

Fortunately, Ophelia didnt comment further on this. But when her chilly expression continued to remain on her face, he trembled at the unknown feeling of ominousness.

[Is she the mortal companion you spoke of?]

He should have been used to Edda speaking in his head, but when he suddenly heard her voice in his head, he groaned. He was groaning because unlike usual, Edda had emphasized the word mortal.

Um. The meaning is a bit different from yours, but

Eddas eyes narrowed when he started making excuses unintentionally.

[There is no need to panic. The time granted to her is limited and fleeting. If I close my eyes for a moment, your time with her will be over.]

Edda was telling him that she had the patience to wait while he bore the title of Companion to a human monarch.

But contrary to Eddas expectations, Ophelias time with him wasnt fleeting.

Kim Seon-Hyeok wanted Ophelias curse of a short life to be lifted, so he had obtained the precious Eternal Flower from the previous King of Spirits.

And the Eternal Flowers effect didnt stop at simply lifting the curse of short life.

Now, Your Imperial Majesty will enjoy the same lifespan as a fairy.

Just like the Qeishas who enjoyed the blessing of longevity under the protection of the Mother Tree, the Spirit Kings protection was passed on to her.

[Is this something you intended?]

It was only natural for Edda to express her anger when she, as a supreme Dragon, had decided to endure the shame of sharing her companion for a while.

Kim Seon-Hyeoks ordeal wasnt over.

Before he could properly congratulate Ophelia for finally lifting the curse of a short life and fully blossoming as a talented monarch of the Adensteins bloodline, he faced another problem.

[So this time, its a fairy. I thought you were slow coming to me, but I see thats because you were busy.]

Edda learned of the existence of another companion(?) after seeing Najima, who had participated in the ceremony.

That isnt fair. Thats a completely different issue.

Kim Seon-Hyeok complained that it was unfair. While his will and emotions were shared with Ophelia, it was a completely one-sided relationship in Najimas case.

However, he had felt a bit uneasy with even that, so he had basically cut off all communication with her. So the Dragons anger towards him seemed unfair.

Majestic Dragon, while it is true that I have given my soul to him, I am not so shameless as to dare to share a piece of his soul. So please, let go of your anger.

While he just felt Eddas anger was unjustified, Najima shook in the face of her anger. There was a hint of concern that Dragon might harm her clan when they had barely managed to settle down.

[I hope you do not forget your current thoughts.]

Fortunately, Edda didnt lash out at Najima anymore. Apparently, she felt the image of a supreme Dragon attacking a weak fairy wasnt a pleasing one.

It was a fortunate thing for Kim Seon-Hyeok since he had been watching the situation, prepared to intervene at any moment.

[The oath of companionship is to share each others souls and to share an origin. If you were to overus
