Chapter 208
Kathe’s tail wagged happily when she saw me .
“Oh, Locke . I’m back!”
“Hello . Welcome back, Kathe . You were very fast . ”
“Yes . The talks did not take long, so I was able to return quickly . ”
You could use the teleportation circle in my mansion to go to the water dragon settlement .
And Kathe could fly to the capital in a few minutes .
And so it would not take very long to travel there .
“I heard that we have a guest?”
I turned to look at the person sitting next to Kathe .
It was a young man with short hair . It was the same blue as Leea’s hair . He looked very kind .
And like Leea and Kathe, he had a big tail .
“Groof!”
Grulf’s tail wagged as he went over to the young man and started to sniff him .
The young man petted him gently and then got up to his feet .
Then Kathe stood up and said,
“This is the water dragon Mors . ”
“I am Locke . It’s nice to meet you . ”
“It is the greatest honor for me to be able to work with you, Mister Locke . ”
Kathe saw how nervous Mors looked and she laughed .
“When I told them that you wanted to learn about barriers, Morris had an idea . ”
“Hmm?”
Morris was the uncle of the Crown Princess, Leea .
He was also the Grand Chamberlain and a regent of sorts .
“He thought it would be bad for you to have to come to the water dragon settlement . ”
“Ah… He really shouldn’t have worried about that . It’s me who is asking them . ”
“That’s true, but not exactly what he meant . ”
Kathe said incomprehensibly .
“What do you mean?”
“Even you would take some time to learn it all, right? And he thought it would be rude to the beastkin to have them wait . ”

“I see . ”
Princess Leea was expressing her gratitude and friendship towards the beastkin wolves .
So this was probably more for their benefit than mine .
They were very smart .
“And so it was decided that they would send the dragon amongst them who was the best with creating barriers . ”
“Oh, and that would be Mister Mors here, I presume . ”
“Exactly . ”
Mors looked a little embarrassed when Kathe said he was ‘the best . ’
Even though his cheeks were red, he stood up straight and said in a clear voice,
“Her Majesty exaggerates with regards to my abilities, but I shall do my very best . ”
“Mister Mors . We are relying on you . We must both do our best . ”
I said as I offered my right hand . Mors accepted it and we shook hands .
And then I asked him,
As you can transform into a human, Mister Mors, you must be of the royal family?”
“I am the son of Morris . And I am a chamberlain . ”

“I see . So you are Morris’s son . ”
Grulf was running around Mors excitedly .
I thought about it . I had assumed that this was our first meeting .
However, seeing how playful Grulf was, we had probably met before .
It was just the first time I saw him as a human .
“Mister Mors . Have we met before?”
When I asked this, Mors smiled happily .
“Yes! Indeed, you have never seen me as a human, but we’ve met several times before . ”
“I see . I feel incredibly rude now . ”
Mors waved his hands vigorously .
“I beg you not to! It is nothing to worry about!”
“I’m very glad to hear you say that . ”
“We look very different as humans . It cannot be helped that people do not notice who we are . ’

Kathe picked up Grulf and said,
“Locke also didn’t recognize me the first time I visited him as a human . ”
“Yes, that’s true, now that I think of it . ”
Kathe and Mors were grinning .
Mors looked quite muscular as a human .
He had broad shoulders and a thick chest . He was built like Goran .
“Have we fought together as well?”
“Yes . I have seen your brilliance in battle up close, Mister Locke!”
Mors was particularly strong among the water dragons . And he was usually on the frontlines in battle .
And so we had often fought close to each other .
He also added that he was among the group of dragons that often followed us on walks .
“Oh, so that’s why Grulf is happy to see you . ”
“Yes . we get along very well . ”
Mors said with a laugh .
