[19] (EP-67.2) Shadows Cast #3

067 Shadows Looming Ark #3

I decided to change the subject.

Then, what will the Lady do about the task? If youre not feeling well, shouldnt you just rest?

Task. Is it the lecture on Dead Language?

Yes, it is.

If thats the case, I have to go. Its my task as the Draco Familys Young Lady.

What do you mean? Why is it your task?

Mirna got up from bed with the blanket wrapped around her body like a gown. She was certainly in a much better condition than before, though still a bit sluggish.

As Mirna put on her school uniform blouse and skirt, she slowly continued, overcoming her headache.

Balan, shes the culprit. Shes robbing the Draco Familys cemetery and stealing bodies. A criminal who recklessly gives rise to the undead!

Is that true?

Professor Balan was the culprit? It was an unbelievable story, but Mirna calmly explained.

She stole my Lich last night. Im sure of it! I swear in the honor of the Draco Family. But its okay even if you dont believe it. Anyway, Ill take care of this myself.

No, if the professor is like that, wouldnt it be better to let others know? People are spreading the rumor that Lady Draco has gone mad and is running around wildly.

Unfortunately, there is no solid evidence right now. And, if I make a lot of noise, it might just scare the thief away. Theres only one reason why she hasnt fled yet.

Why is that?

Shes definitely aiming for my body. That itch wants to use this Mirna Dracos living body to make an undead!

Manipulating living people into undead?

I wondered in my head whether that was possible. But in a world where magic and things like witchcraft existed, where would the limit lie?

In the first place, I was not even from this world, yet how did I get here?

Its hard to believe, I know. Hah, the Draco Family seems to be cursed with betrayal and lies. Well, its not something I expect you to believe anyway.

Mirna Draco smiled self-deprecatingly. Her current appearance resembled that of Narmi guarding the cemetery alone at night.

Remembering Narmi, who had become my friend in a way, I calmly said to Mirna.

No, I believe you.

.

Mirna stayed silent.

Maybe it was because her fever hadnt fully gone down yet or for some other reason, but her face started turning very red.

I then continued.

Shall we ask Queen Aira for help? I think shell be able to aid us if we tell her.

I have no desire to be indebted to Queen Tarantera. If you want to do so, thats up to you.

I see.

Anyway, they lived in the same dorm, for single digit rankers. So I walked out the hallway and knocked on Queen Airas door.

The door clicked open and I could see Queen Aira lying languidly on the bed.

My Queen, Im sorry, but can you lend me your strength?

No.

.

Its a joke. So whats going on?

Then, I explained the situation to Queen Aira, who was half-asleep.

Stretch-.

After listening to the story for a while, Aira yawned and casually stretched.

What? Thats something I cant help with. Theo, your strength alone will suffice. A corrupt professor wouldnt be able to beat the second smartest person in Angmar, dont you think?

Then she began to stroke my head and chin. The overly positive thinking made me suspect that Aira didnt even pay much attention

Then Ill sleep a little longer, you can go.

In the end, I couldnt get Airas help

Then, there was only one option left. The one other person in the Platinum Dorm that I could depend on besides Aira.

Walking down the velvet marble hallway, I knocked on the next room, whose door had a V mark.

Dduk dduk.

Elga-nim.

What?

The door opened wide and I said to Elga who appeared beyond it.

I hope you could lend us your strength. Me and Lady Draco might be in a pickle.

What are you even Isnt it good if that Mirnas in trouble?

But, wouldnt this be a golden opportunity to make Lady Mirna owe Elga-nim? You can never know when an opportunity like this will come again!

I explained the current situation to Elga and suggested this at the same time.

Simply watching Mirna get fcked, or have her owe you a debt which could be used later.

Elga was more strategic and smarter than one might think, so she naturally knew which option would be more beneficial.

Mirna, that woman I knew this would happen! Thats because you only believe in necromancy and dont train yourself. What can you do now that youve lost your Lich? Wheres the idio whose fathers body was stolen by a thief?

Does that mean youre going to help?

Im not helping, Im making a deal. Ive heard that the Draco Family have dragon bones left. Im thinking of getting some. Tell this to that Mirna.

Speak of the devil and he shall come.

As it turned out, Mirna was already standing behind me as Elga said that.

Why were you two just facing each other with me in the middle?

I looked at Mirna, who probably heard all the talk. She had her eyes closed with a wrinkled forehead, as if she was having a headache.

Seeing this, Elga continued.

The Lionesss Golden Army is expensive. Wouldnt it be fair to pay such a price to hire the best and most outstanding soldiers?

Alright, lets make a deal. Ill give you the tip of a dragons tailbone.

Sch.

Surprisingly, Mirna reached out her hand. Elga also showed a look of surprise, but she quickly returned the gesture and shook it.

Dont take that back~.

I wont.

After subjugating the Demon King Angmar, the family of dragons and lions, who had separated while constantly feuding with each other, was now forming an alliance, albeit temporarily.

And it was I, Theo Angmar, who made it happen.

Just like how the Demon King brought the families together before.

I, too, succeeded in uniting them!

This was a complete twist on the original story, filling my heart with a sense of achievement.

But, wouldnt it be bad if the enemies I had to overthrow and conquer began to hold hands with each other?
