Became a Hatchling of the Grand Duke of the North - Became a Hatchling of the Grand Duke of the North chapter 84

84 – Cult of Shadows (5)

The cadets are starting to adjust to a day at the academy.

But even so, the daily life was not always easy.

Even if you get used to the repetition of everyday life that seems like the treadmill is rolling day by day, learning about new things continues at the academy every day.

Even the cadets of Celestial Academy, which is full of talented people, have no choice but to be difficult.

[…Ha.]

Lucia let out a short sigh.

[Kiii-.]

Han, the guardian dragon, who was watching him, expressed concern.

He quietly licked her cheek.

Because I knew that the sweat dripping down her forehead was caused by her nervousness.

Then Lucia wiped the sweat off her and smiled.

[It’s okay. Guardian Dragon.]

It was then.

[aaa!! It’s too difficult!]

Suddenly, Yone, who was sitting next to them, fell face down.

She murmured as she powerlessly tucked the thick book in her hand.

[I don’t know if I can pass the test like this… What if I fail…]

But at that figure, Lucia raised her index finger to warn her.

[Shh, Yone. You should be quiet in the library.]

[Oh!]

Yone hurriedly covers my mouth as if he had just remembered it.

She apologized in a small whisper.

[Yes, sorry.]

Yone’s voice finally got smaller.

As you can see from the conversation between the two, they are currently facing a note test.

It’s only a week away. In preparation for the exam that will follow, they are currently studying hard at the library here.

I could see the cadets all over the place who were concentrating on their studies with their hair tied up like them.

Yone, who kept his gaze on the guardian dragon Han with unfocused eyes, muttered helplessly.

[I’m going to drop out… And I’m going to work as a maid in the grand duke’s house again…]

The future is well drawn.

The image of being kicked out of the academy after receiving a failing grade or a score around that point.

Even though she had some confidence in her practical skills…

For Yone, writing was a problem.

Yone, who was a commoner, was still in a state where he hadn’t even fully awakened to letters.

Of course, she was going to study in that state at the same time, so it was obvious that she couldn’t progress properly.

Interpreting and reading a few characters, I often got stuck with unfamiliar sentences and words and asked Lucia next to her.

A wizard who can’t even read properly.

Until now in Yone’s life, he had never heard of such a wizard.

At least, the magician she knew was a dignified figure who was always lofty and perfectly controlled everything around her.

It could be compared to a dragon.

‘Cheer up, Lucia.’

Guardian dragon Han licked Lucia, who was busy concentrating with Yone.

It was cheering in the sense of telling them to do their best.

However, perhaps it was because he wasn’t even concentrating on his studies, Yone managed to see that and spoke to me with a calm expression.

[Guardian Dragon, please lick me too.]

Tak. Taktak.

As soon as he finished his words, the guardian dragon, Han, began to strike his tail toward the ground.

[…]

He silently glared at Yone.

The eyes narrow, and the momentum suddenly sharpens.

[…Okay-.]

Seeing Han strike the ground menacingly with his long tail, Yone at once quietly rolled his tail and backed away.

[Ah, lady…]

But it seemed unfair.

Yone, lying weakly on his desk, began to cry.

[Guardian Dragon seems to hate me…]

[hahahaha, cheer up. Yone. Someday, the guardian dragon will like you too, right now, we’re actually very close, right?]

[Huh… That’s too much.]

Lucia, who was next to her drooping figure, slowly brushed her back.

But the guardian dragon, Han, didn’t care at all.

He never gave Yone a glance, as if he wasn’t interested in the first place.

Instead, he focused only on sharpening his shiny scales and polishing their color.

It was then.

Puffed up.

Among them, someone sat down.

[Did everyone wait a long time?]

The person who spoke was none other than Princess Rachel.

For some reason, she was holding a bunch of ice cream in both her hands besides her thick course book.

She waved it proudly.

From noble mtl dot com

[Whoops, look at these. It’s ice cream. Let’s take a break and eat ice cream.]

[Uh…But…]

At that, Lucia blinked her eyes.

[Wasn’t it forbidden to bring food into the library? Even during the entrance ceremony, he gave fresh attention to the new students…]

[Whoops. Don’t worry, Grand Duchess.]

At those words, Princess Rachel let out a low laugh.

She pointed to a seat outside looking out the window and opened her mouth.

[Look over there. What is written?]

[There is a place where you can bring in food… It says… Huh?]

Only then did Lucia’s eyes wide open.

I realized what kind of place it was.

[Yes.]

Princess Rachel was listening to those words with both ears.

She covered her mouth and smiled proudly.

[Before entering the academy this time, I personally stepped forward and asked the president of the academy. I want you to make a separate space in the library where you can bring in food. Over there is a newly built exterior space.]

[Ah… Is that so?]

[So don’t worry and move over there.]

Bingsu. Bingsu(氷水) d.

Guardian Dragon Han looked at the mountain range of pure white ice powder in front of him.

His long tongue slithered like a snake and licked his lips.

It looks like he felt like he was on an empty stomach.

Han suddenly remembered his past self.

‘In my previous life, I couldn’t even buy one because it was expensive.’

However, Princess Rachel brought not just one or two of these shaved ice, but enough to fill her hands.

I wonder if this is possible, but her status is none other than the princess.

The youngest member of the royal family, one of whom is said to be the best samurai on the continent, and the other to the pinnacle of the empire.

Either way, it wasn’t a relationship that could only be concerned with the material medium of money.

Although there is a former maid mixed in the middle.

Lucia smiled brightly as she wiped the sweaty forehead.

[Even if it wasn’t so, it was hot these days. In the meantime, shaved ice, I’m looking forward to it.]

[Hmm? Alas, yes. Because the Grand Duchess was born in the North. She probably said that she is sensitive to heat?]

[Yes. To be honest, around lunchtime, when the sun is at its highest, I deliberately cover places where the sun is shining.]

[Huh…]

It was the same with the guardian dragon, Han.

He took a seat on the table very casually and took a spoon without anyone telling him.

[Now. Are you Guardian Dragon? Would you like to eat first?]

[Key-.]

Guardian Dragon Han nodded happily.

Yes, of course.

Did they say that even cold water has an order from top to bottom?

Han, the guardian dragon, was ranked first among the two.

The royal family of the empire, and the successor of the Northern Grand Duke. He was not as great as a great born with a mission to protect the vast continent.

He took a spoonful of it at once, and put it into my mouth.

‘Oh-… Oh…’

Bingsoo filled with cold, cold air.

At the same time, Guardian Dragon Han’s eyes flashed open.

It was a cold energy that seemed to blow away the languid afternoon hours and the lingering heat.

‘It’s delicious.’

Pusssss-…

But at that moment.

When the guardian dragon Han reflexively focused his senses to feel the coldness that filled his mouth more.

At once, all the cold air around him (so in this case meant shaved ice) began to flow into his body like smoke.

‘Oh…’

Guardian dragon Han’s eyes narrowed.

The pleasant chill cools his body at once.

As he was idly intoxicated by the sensation for a while, he suddenly saw the lukewarm shaved ice around his eyes.

Soggy and melts like water.

It looked like he had completely lost his cool.

[Uh, uh…?]

The embarrassed party.

Yone belatedly took a bite of the melted shaved ice and quickly put it into her mouth, but soon she became teary-eyed.

[aaah, it’s lukewarm. There is no cold energy at all…]

[…]

Everyone was speechless and looked down at the guardian dragon, Han.

Lucia, who could be said to be his most trustworthy ally, was the same.

[Uh… Um…]

[Su, Guardian Dragon?]

[Key profit?]

…Uh, uh uh.

What’s wrong, Lucia.

Let her Guardian Horror Han look up at her sneaking up on her,

Lucia, who seemed to hesitate for a moment, cautiously handed over her words.

[Could it be… Uh… How can it not be? If you do that, we won’t be able to eat all of this…]

[…]

…I’m really sorry about this.

Even as Han, I had nothing to say.

I didn’t do that on purpose.
