Chapter 158
Ruck, I’m sorry about the water dragons . ”
Leea apologized as soon as we entered the water palace .
Grand Chamberlain Morris was next to her and also apologized .
“I have no words to express my embarrassment . ”
“Oh, no . Please don’t be worried about it . ”
I thought that it was a good thing to be able to create a friendly relationship with the water dragons .
And it would likely be an advantage to have seen all of their faces .
And they had all simply called me Ruck, so that meant we had been able to get rid of some of the formality .
Regarding that, Leea was also starting to talk in a more childish voice .
She must have really been forcing it earlier .
“I knew Locke was popular!”
“It’s no wonder!”
“Aye, how impressive!”
Said, Kathe, Eric and Goran happily .
“Those water dragons looked pretty powerful, didn’t they, Shia?”
“Yes, they did . So many dragons in one place really is a sight to behold . What did you think, Nia?”
“I was so nervous . ”
“Groof!”
Grulf licked Nia’s face .
His tail was wagging, and there was no sign of him being nervous .
It had taken him much longer to get used to Kathe .
“Grulf, are you used to seeing dragons now?”
“Grrr?”
Grulf tilted his head to the side with a puzzled expression .
Leea petted Grulf and said,
“They were all so excited . ”
“I suppose it is because Mister Ruck is so special . ”
Said Grand Chamberlain Morris .
“They were looking at Ruck in the flesh, so it cannot be helped . ”
“Princess Leea . It is as my daughter says . Even the wind dragons would have acted the same . ”
Kathe nodded vigorously .
Dorgo agreed with her .
“Oh, that’s right! Ruck, the room! I prepared a room for you . ”
“A room?”
“A room you can sleep in whenever you come here!”
“Ah, thank you . ”
It was very convenient to have a room I could freely use .
“It’s over here . Over here!”
Leea sounded very happy as she pulled my arm .
Her tail was wagging .
“I want you to use this room . ”
The room was towards the back of the palace . Everyone followed .
It was a room built for human standards, and not dragon . And so it had furniture that was human-size and comfortable to use .
But it was still quite big and the ceiling was very high .

“Ruck, what do you think?”
“It’s a grand, beautiful room . And so huge . ”
“I’m glad you like it!”
She said happily .
“Groof-groof!”
Grulf ran around the room excitedly .
It was big enough for him to run in .
More precisely, the width was the same as the combined height of thirty men .
But the ceiling went up even higher .
“A room of this size for just one person?”
“Of course . ”
Chamberlain Morris said .
“Thank you . But it really is huge . ”
It was a huge room with a single bed in it .
There were shelves and drawers near the walls, but it looked like it would be tiring just walking to them .
As I inspected the room, Kathe started to poke me in the arm .
“Locke . It is a human-size room in the dragon palace because it is for the royal family . ”
“Ah, so that’s why it’s so big . ”
Because only the royal family could turn into humans .
“So it was made so they can easily return to their dragon form . ”

“Exactly . There is a door over there if they wish to exit as a dragon . ”
Kathe pointed to a wall .
It was so big that it had only looked like a wall to me . But it really was a door .
Royal dragons were often larger than ordinary dragons .
And so the doors and rooms were made especially big .
“Groof-groof!”
Grulf ran around Kathe as she stood with a smug expression .
“Grulf . I told you not to jump on anyone but me, but it’s okay if you jump on Kathe, Eric or Goran . ”
“Groof!”
Grulf happily jumped onto Kathe .
“Good boy, good boy . ”
Kathe petted Grulf .
Even when in human form, dragons were strong enough to catch Grulf .
“Kathe, you sure know a lot about this room . ”
“I often visited here when I was younger . ”
The royals probably visited each other a lot .
“Ruck, Ruck!”
Leea grabbed me by the arm .
“What is it?”
“My room is next to yours!”
“I see . ”

“So you can visit when you like!”
“Thank you . ”
Serulis looked at the room and said,
“It really is big . Are we all supposed to stay here as well?”
“That is so!”
Said Grand Chamberlain Morris after overhearing Serulis’s conversation .
“We have rooms prepared for you all . ”
“Huh? You have rooms of this size for each one of us?”
“I am terribly sorry, but aside from the Hero King’s room, the others are… Uh, we really are sorry . But they are not quite as spacious as this one . ”
Grand Chamberlain Morris said fearfully .
But to be honest, I would have preferred one of the smaller rooms myself .
“Hmmm . Indeed . It will be a hassle to keep track of everyone . Perhaps it would be better if we all stayed in this room . ”
“Yes . That would be more convenient . ”
Eric agreed with Goran’s idea .
“In that case, I think you should all use this room!”
Leea said happily .
“But…”
Grand Chamberlain Morris looked disturbed .
“I’ll stay here too!”
“Oh, we can be together!”
Leea and Kathe shouted excitedly .
