The Main Heroine Likes the Extra - The Main Heroine Likes the Extra chapter 103

103 – Old Guardian Dragon

Turn back time a bit, to Abloom, a small city at the southern tip of the Earldom of Wentos.

Soldiers from the county suddenly arrived in a peaceful city with relatively little to worry about from the ferocious beasts of the north as it is a southern city.

Naturally, the villagers were in confusion, but the Count himself, who had led his soldiers, somehow calmed them down and put his soldiers on standby.

Since it is near the border with the marquis, it might be troublesome if it goes into the ears of the marquis, but his eldest son and heir, his son Kyo Wentos, might be in danger.

That’s why I put aside explaining the circumstances to the Marquis and came this far.

And, Marquis Brun’s actions were quicker than I thought.

The moment he was about to start a search and alert operation in the snowy mountains, his soldiers began to gather in the territory of the Marquis of Brune.

In the end, in an instant, a picture was created of the two armies confronting each other with the border of the two territories in between.

At the head of the army of the Marquis of Brune, a middle-aged man wearing fancy armor stepped out.

“The representative of the British Army, Earl of Wentos, please come forward.”

Earl Cillian Wentos, who confirmed that appearance, came out in front of him.

Without any armor or weapons, as if to show that he had no intention of hostility.

Seeing this, the Marquis of Brune, a man representing Yeongbang-gun in the Marquis of Brune’s territory, opened his eyes wide.

“No, isn’t it Count Wentos? You mean you came yourself?”

“That’s right, Marquis Brune. I apologize for bringing so many soldiers without explaining the circumstances.”

Earl Wentos exudes tremendous momentum even though he is not wearing armor or holding a weapon.

However, when he bowed his head and apologized politely, the Marquis of Brune, who was angry at the sudden appearance of troops, seemed to feel something strange.

He dismounted from his horse, took off his helmet, and approached Count Wentos.

“Count Wentos, I will listen if there is any reason. Raise your head.”

As the Marquis of Brune is a neighboring territory with the Earl of Wentos, the two knew each other.

Maybe it’s just acquaintances, but since the neighboring estate is a relationship with many parts that need to be coordinated with each other, the two of them knew to some extent what kind of person they were.

That’s why the Marquis of Brune gave up even the slightest doubt and raised the count.

“Please listen carefully, Marquis.”

“Yes, tell me.”

After that, the Marquis of Bruen listened to what the Count had to say.

However, the story Count Wentos told was a story that made the Marquis of Brunn doubt his ears.

“Hey, are you serious about that?”

“I’m serious. Otherwise I wouldn’t have to bring so many soldiers.”

The Count’s eyes were serious. As if he insists that his words are true.

But even so, it was undeniably hard to believe.

So, just as the Marquis was lost in thought, a loud voice was heard.

“Father!!”

At that voice, both the Marquis of Bruen and the Count of Wentos, who stood across from him, turned their heads.

I saw people running from afar.

I was wearing a thick travel suit, but it was a mess here and there, torn and torn, so I wonder if it was a disaster in the mountains.

However, the man standing at the head of the group shouted, “Father.”

The only son of the Marquis Brunn, Ares Brunn, is not.

That means…

The Marquis of Brune concluded that and looked at Count Wentos.

The count opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth to say something.

That was the moment.

“Kyou!!”

From the other side, a red trail jumped out and flew towards the leading man.

I took Riel into my arms and hugged him tightly.

Until recently, her whole body had frozen and seemed about to fall off, but it felt like her entire body was covered in warmth.

“You’re not hurt? Are you okay?! You’re fine, right?!”

“It’s fine. I’m really fine.”

While calming Riel, who looked extremely excited, I looked around her.

Her father and a middle-aged man wearing armor with the crest of the author of Bruenhu.

Probably the Marquis of Bruen.

After slightly bowing his head to his father, he bowed his head to the Marquis of Brune.

“Nice to meet you. I am Kyo Wentos, the eldest son of Count Wentos, Marquis of Brune. Please take good care of me.”

“That…Yes. Thank you.”

Marquis Brune with a slightly flustered expression.

Well, to be honest, it was embarrassing.

The count’s heir appeared as a castaway, so it’s not surprising.

After greeting the Marquis, I looked back at my father.

“Father, I have something to tell you…”

“Kyou, you can’t…”

The moment I was about to say something to my father, the words came out of his father’s mouth first.

“Did you see the dragon?”

At that, the words I wanted to say did not come out of my mouth.

‘I saw a dragon on the mountain.’

But my father seems to already know.

Judging by the fact that he even brought a lot of soldiers, it was clear that he had come to deal with the dragon.

“…I saw it.”

“Yes, it looks like he opened his eyes.”

The Marquis of Brune groaned in surprise.

According to my father’s words, the dragon on top of the mountain was a guardian dragon that protected this region in the distant past.

By the will of the World Tree, the Guardian Dragon settled in the northern land and protected the lives of the northern part from the demons of the demon king.

At that time, many lives in the north, pioneers, were too weak to stand up to the monsters flocking to the north.

So, the Guardian Dragon did everything in its power to protect them.

The lives of the northern part gradually became stronger under the guardian dragon’s protection, and became able to protect themselves without the guardian dragon’s help.

Now that the Guardian Dragon didn’t have to overdo it, he wondered if he could rest.

But it was too late for the guardian dragon to rest.

The Guardian Dragon, which defended the north against the demons of the demon king, was gradually eroded by the demonic energy emitted by the demons.

In the end, he forgot who he was and what he was fighting for, and the Guardian Dragon, completely encroached on by demons, exposed its teeth in the northern part he was guarding.

At that time, hundreds of years ago, the lives of the northern people swallowed their tears and fought with the guardian dragon that protected them.

However, the Guardian Dragon, which had been fighting monsters alone for hundreds of years, was strong despite being corrupted by demonic energy.

After a battle that involved many sacrifices and pain, they were able to seal the fallen guardian dragon in place by mobilizing external collaborators.

At the time, the wizard who sealed the guardian dragon told the lord who ruled the north.

‘The seal is incomplete. One day, the seal may be released again and the Guardian Dragon may run rampant.’

With that said, the wizard advised the lord to prepare a countermeasure against the dragon that would one day awaken.

Since then, the lord of the north has always cultivated strength to prepare for dragons through generations of his descendants.

…Well, it’s a story like this.

So that means the white dragon that raged on the mountain was originally a guardian dragon that guarded the north…

“Originally, when the day you inherit the earldom comes, I was going to tell you… But I can’t believe this has already happened.”

His father said, clutching his head as if troubled.

Well, it’s a pain in the ass.

To be honest.

I can’t beat that.

It was only a brief confrontation, but if that dragon swung even once with its tail, dozens of soldiers would be knocked out.

To that extent, the dragon’s power and momentum were overwhelming.

“Father, no matter how much I think about that, it’s difficult. It can’t even compare to the army of monsters.”

“I know. The reason why I brought soldiers here is to prepare for the moment when the dragon rampages even a little bit.”

My father pulled out an envelope containing a letter from inside his bosom.

“Originally, I planned to go there myself, but since you’re here, I won’t leave it up to you.”

“What is this envelope?”

I picked up the envelope my father gave me.

The wax that sealed the envelope was old and stained, but the envelope itself was as stiff as new paper.

“Do you know that there is a mage’s tower if you go northeast of Abloom?”

The only mage tower that exists in the north, the white mage tower.

I certainly know the location of the magic tower, but I’ve never been there.

In the first place, the white magic tower itself has a tendency not to accept outsiders well.

“Take this and go to the White Mage Tower, meet the owner of the Mage Tower and ask for help.”

My father bowed his head apologetically.

“I’m sorry to leave it to you, who barely came down from the mountain, but this is a job that we, the Wentos family, have to carry with us.”

I understand.

The mother who is watching anxiously from behind is not the blood of the Wentos family.

Other bloody Asta and Kino are now in the royal capital.

My father has to lead the army here, so as a result, I am the only one left.

Then what should I do? I will have to run

My father entered the barracks to devise defense measures against the Marquis of Brune and the dragon.

I took a short break, and was led by Riel into one of the inns prepared in the village to head straight to the magic tower.

Won’t you meet a dragon while climbing a snowy mountain?

Didn’t he run away like crazy from the dragon?

Won’t it get caught up in an avalanche and make a mess?

After barely making it back like that, we now have to go to the Magic Tower.

To be honest, I felt like I was going to die.

“Abba!”

As I stretched out on the bed and rested, I heard a nostalgic voice.

When I looked up, Riel was carrying Shir in his arms.

…Well, if Riel is here, of course Shir is also here.

As Riel came closer, Syr, who was being held in Riel’s arms, jumped into my arms.

“Abba!!”

“Huh?!”

What is it, even though he is a child, why is his power so strong?

I don’t think it’s a world tree, so it’s a whole bone.

“Sir was very upset because he wanted to see his father.”

“Okay, I’m so sorry I’m late.”

“Please don’t be sorry. Who could have predicted that there would be dragons and avalanches?”

Sir went behind me and pulled his hair.

Well, it’s something that happens all the time, so it was to the point of frowning a little.

At that time, Riel approached and she burrowed into my arms.

“…I was worried.”

“……”

“I heard the story of the dragon from the count, and then I heard that Kyou climbed the mountain…”

Sorry almost came out of my mouth.

But she told me not to be sorry, so she swallowed her words hastily and lifted her arms and hugged Riel.

“Ugh?”

I could only hear Sir’s voice from behind.

He could only feel Riel’s body temperature as she held her in her arms.

“…What about this situation?”

“Aren’t we completely saboteurs?”

“…”

Until he noticed the gazes of three fellow castaways staring blankly in the same room.
