Became a Hatchling of the Grand Duke of the North - Became a Hatchling of the Grand Duke of the North chapter 75

75 – Practice, Dungeon Exploration (4)

I brought two tents.

For this reason, the party decided to share a tent.

Originally, it was appropriate for Princess Rachel to use it alone, but it was because Han strongly opposed Yone.

It was an obvious result that the dragon’s status was higher than that of the imperial family.

Thanks to Lucia and Han. Princess Rachel and Yone each shared a tent.

A maid who shares space with the princess.

At any other party, that certainly wouldn’t have happened.

Perhaps you never even imagined it.

Even if they slept outside, they would never dare to sleep in the same space as the imperial family.

[And.]

However, in that respect, Yone was extremely obtuse.

Because she didn’t even think about it at all.

Even the blanket was covered with Princess Rachel and she was smiling.

She looked at her princess lying down beside her and smiled, her snowy eyes shining.

[It looks like I slept in the same place as the princess. Isn’t it?]

[Hmm… I see. It’s the first time I’ve experienced anything like this.]

It is an unfamiliar experience.

Rachel, when will she ever experience something like this?

At least, there were only two classes around her as a princess.

She herself and the beings of a lower class.

Thanks to her, everyone showed her with her head bowed towards her, but there was no picture of her standing side by side.

Because of this, it was clear that this was the first time in her entire life.

But it wasn’t such a bad experience, so Princess Rachel just laughed.

At least in her surroundings, things are always suffocating.

Knights and soldiers always stay by their side without changing their expressions, and maids, who are servants, continue their work without expression.

Only by Luciana Yone’s side is the only way to breathe.

‘Good night.’

Thanks to that, the seats were cramped, but it didn’t feel too bad.

Princess Rachel glanced at her and turned her head.

Leakage-. Color-.

Yone had already been away from the goal a long time ago.

How long has she been talking to fire, and she is already asleep with even breathing.

Perhaps she is just as tired as that.

The figure of her sleeping with her mouth open proves it.

‘Whoop.’

Suddenly, the corner of her mouth went up to the point where it couldn’t be seen.

She was also tired from walking for a long time in such a tropical night, but even so, she stayed awake for a while, just staring at Yone’s face.

It was a strange night when she was born and faced her for the first time.

* * * *

[Guardian Dragon, aren’t you uncomfortable?]

[Kiii.]

Han shook her head.

He lay with Lucia’s arm cut.

Han felt the warm warmth from Lucia holding him.

A girl as beautiful as the pure white snow of the north.

Now there is no longer the unfamiliarity like before. It was because he and Luciana had been together for such a long time that they both felt so familiar that they took each other’s existence for granted.

‘Lucia. It’s beautiful today too.’

A guardian dragon was staring blankly at Lucia.

Born of her dragon blood (龍血), she was destined to feel closeness with him from her day.

As long as he could clearly sense her presence even with his eyes closed, it was the same with Lucia.

They have been connected to each other like a thread from a long time ago in the north.

She suddenly met her gaze and opened her mouth.

[By the way, I like that Guardian Dragon is somehow cool.]

[…?]

Han blinked.

Is that so? Probably so.

It’s a reptile, so it’s natural.

If you have to question it, it means that he was born with a constitution that is inevitably cold.

Naturally, in such a hot environment, Lucia, who was born in the north, has no choice but to rely on him more.

Because of this, Han allowed Lucia to slightly stretch out his body and feel a little cooler.

The spread wings covered her body.

Thanks to that, the distance between the two came a little closer.

Han felt Lucia calmly exhale.

From noble mtl dot com

His wings rose and fell lightly up and down with each breath she inhaled and exhaled.

I usually sleep close to you, but the distance has never been as close as today.

Sniff sniff.

Thanks to that, Han felt that her body odor was particularly strong today.

Perhaps it was because he sweated in the hot environment. Or maybe it’s because the distance is close.

It did get cooler at night, but it was still hotter than when I was at the academy.

‘Come to think of it… I probably didn’t even wash today, did I?’

Somehow the smell was a little strong.

But there was no particularly unpleasant body odor. It was just as fragrant as always.

[…]

Awesome. Awesome.

Thanks to that, Han’s eyes began to narrow after a while.

It’s because I started to doze off.

[Kiii.]

It was because I was so active that I lacked sleep.

He turned her sleepy gaze to her.

Lucia was still looking at him in silence.

His pure white, even eyes reflected his image as transparently as a mirror.

‘Lucia.’

It wasn’t long before his eyes were completely closed.

* * * *

The next day came.

Awesome. Awesome.

Han, the guardian dragon, slowly opened his eyes.

The light gradually begins to shine in the pupils that were obsessed with sleep.

[Kiik?]

When he looked up and looked around, Lucia was gone.

There was only Han in the tent.

‘Where have you been? Lucia!’

He jumped up from his seat all at once.

Then he hurriedly ran out of the tent.

[Haaa-.]

As he frantically surveyed the surroundings, he saw the figure of her, Lucia, standing far in front of him.

Standing in front of her fog shaman, Jin, who obscured the presence of her surroundings, she exhaled evenly and relaxed her body lightly from early morning.

Lucia standing tactfully on one leg and warming up through her gymnastics.

You can see the joints flexing flexibly and the white skin.

She was already drenched in sweat, and her lines seemed to be soaked through the thin layer of her dress.

Han, the guardian dragon, watched Lucia like that.

‘It’s beautiful.’

It was beautiful to see her sweating, standing alone in the middle of the green forest.

For a while he stood there dumbfounded and watched it.

[Huh?]

After sweating for so long, she turned her head to him as if she felt her resentment belatedly, and she grinned.

[Ah, are you awake, Guardian Dragon?]

[Kiii.]

Only then did Han nod his head and reply.

Their breakfast was quite late.

[Uh, ugh. A mouse, I think I have a mouse. Ah!]

That was Yone, who had been sleeping in the tent for a long time.

She jumped up at an unexpected moment, then she fell back on her feet again, groaning in pain.

Yone pounded the ground to see if her legs hurt.

[Kirruru-.]

At that sight, the guardian dragon Han narrowed his eyes.

He stared blankly at Yone, who was busy relieving the fatigue of the night before, stretching her legs as if he were about to die.

It was a truly pitiful sight.

‘I’m really prepared, I’m prepared.’

Someone wakes up early in the morning and warms up, while others have numb legs and can’t get up until the sun rises in the middle of the sky.

* * * *

As the morning sun rose, they cleaned up their seats and stood up.

The front of the anthill was still crowded with giant ants.

They were teeming with them just like the previous day.

A few soldier ants diligently came and went hunting, and the worker ants looked around the extension, almost full of the entrance.

In the first place, their role was to guard the nest entrance.

For that reason, there won’t be anything that will cause them to leave this place.

But, what would happen if that ‘something’ happened?

[Ah. Then how about this method?]

Suddenly, Lucia made a trick.

As if the rest of the day had worked, her head was spinning clearly, unlike the day before.

[Don’t do that, why don’t you try lure? I’m trying to draw attention so that they all pop out.]

[Ah, lady. That’s nice.]

Oh, it’s a lure. It seems so, right?

A pretty good idea.

After seeming to think for a while, Yone hit her fist and answered.

[Come to think of it, I have an alarm magic. How about that?]

[Alarm magic? What is that?]

[Ah, it’s like an alarm clock, Princess. That’s why, you know. What is that, the thing that rings when the clock reaches a certain time.]

[Ah. Is that what you mean?]

A smile appeared on Princess Rachel’s lips as she rolled her eyes for a moment and seemed to be thinking.

[It’s pretty good. It’s very effective, I’m sure it will remain.]

[Right?]
