Kathe’s father followed me to the drawing room .
On the way, we could hear the cheerful voices of the others .
“Gahaha! What a thing to do, Eric! Changing the name of the currency to ruck!”
“Hehe . Still, it turned out to be quite right . ”
“Yes, I can see that! Ruck is too reserved! We dragons will also have to do something for him . ”
“He won’t like it when he finds out . So you have to ensure that it’s too late when he realizes it . ”
“Ah, Eric . You are so wise!”
The two rulers seemed to be enjoying a conversation .
Dorgo stopped .
“That is my daughter’s voice, isn’t it?”
“Yes . She happens to be staying here at the moment . ”
“I hope she hasn’t been disturbing you…”
“No, not at all . ”
“I would like to see her…”
“Yes, of course…”
Dorgo continued through to the dining room .
Kathe and the others had stayed here after breakfast so they could talk .
I heard Goran’s voice just as Dorgo started to walk .
“Eric, you’re going to the palace to work now, aren’t you? I have business at the palace as well . Should I go with you?”
“Ah, I don’t mind… But wouldn’t it be better to have your entrance recorded?”
“Oh…you’re right . ”
As the grand master of the guild, his visits to the palace were public affairs .
And so it was recorded every time he visited .
If there was no record, it would suggest that management had made some mistakes with the documents . Which would mean the department managing the entrance of the palace were not doing their job .
“It’s troublesome, but I suppose I will have to go through the front by carriage . …So troublesome . ”
Goran grumbled . He really didn’t care for the hassle .
“Gahaha! Why don’t you just drop in from the sky!”
“That’s not how you do things here . ”
“Being a human seems so hard . ”
Kathe said as she sipped her tea .
“Isn’t it hard being a dragon as well? Don’t you have work to do after returning to the palace?”
“Gahaha! There is nothing that is hard for a dragon!”
“Then I am very jealous of you . ”
“It is known! I just ignore the work that I do not want to do, and dad will do it for me!”
Apparently, Kathe called Dorgo, dad .
It wasn’t very kingly, but it was like her .
“I see . ”
“Indeed! It is quite good, you know? …Huh?”
Kathe turned around and realized that her father was standing there .
Her face became tense .
“Dad… Uh, father . What are you doing here?”
“What? Perhaps I have to take my foolish daughter away, as she has been neglecting her public duties . ”
“N-no, that’s not what this is . ”
“Oh? Tell me thenl, how is it different? Great Wind Dragon Ruler, Kathe Celeste . ”
“Uh… The dark…ones…”
“Dark ones?”
“They are running wild . And so I have been thinking about forming an alliance with the humans . ”
Kathe explained this with awkward pauses .
Her tail was swinging side to side .
It seemed to go up and down when she was happy and side to side when she was nervous .
“Hhhh…”
Dorgo sighed .
“So, you want to form an alliance with the humans . ”
“Yes . ”
“And? How is that related to you neglecting your responsibilities?”
“Uh…”
Dorgo maintained his smile as he stared hard into Kathe’s eyes .
His eyes were not smiling at all .
Honestly, he was a little terrifying .
“…I’m sorry . ”
“You must understand that you are the Wind Dragon Ruler . ”
“Yes . ”
Her tail drooped limply on the floor .
Then Dorgo turned to us and bowed .
“I am sorry that you had to witness such a scene . ”
“No, no . Please don’t worry about it . ”
I said with a smile .
Eric then stood up and approached Dorgo .
“I am Eric Mendilibar, king of the humans . I am pleased to finally meet you . ”
“Ah, so you are the Hero King . Your name is known far and wide, even among us dragons . ”
After Eric, Goran also introduced himself .
Dorgo also knew about Goran .
“I have heard that you are the greatest Warrior of this generation . ”
“Greatest? Well, we are only a humble race among many . ”
“Don’t be so modest . ”
Then Kathe said,
“Dad, this one is Ruck . ”
“What! Isn’t his name Locke?”
“He is Grand Duke Ruck Locke Franzen!”
“Really?”
Dorgo looked at me intently . I could not lie to him .
“Yes . I am . ”
“That is a surprise! It’s an honor to meet you . ”
“The honor is mine…”
“Will you shake my hand?”
“Of course . ”
“Also, if you would give me an autograph…”
“I don’t mind, but…”
Dorgo said pretty much the same thing that Kathe had .
“Kathe . Why didn’t you tell me?”
“…Tell you what?”
“That you were staying at Ruck’s mansion!”
“But I did write a report, remember?”
“You wrote something about a Locke . ”
“Oh . Maybe I did . ”
“You are not very reliable!”
“I’m sorry . I’m sorry!”
Kathe apologized to her father .
