“Is that really true?”

“Well, just trust me once, okay? It’s not dangerous anyway since it’s far away, right?”

The final persuasion.

Having heard about Drake’s shocking sex life, the guard, Weibyeong, presented one condition to Lian and her group.

Since they happened to be driving a carriage, he wanted to confirm if Drake would really be enticed by the carriage.

So, they left the horse and luggage separately from the carriage and left Drake abandoned in the middle of the forest where he had been observed.

“It’s a borrowed carriage, scraped together from all the money I had… ”

“Don’t worry too much. He said he would compensate for the carriage once the verification is done, right?”

“Don’t forget that if Drake breaks it using any part other than his waist, compensation will be out of the question!”

Weibyeong warned that if Lian’s words were false, it would end up being just a happening where they lost the carriage.

Even under pressure, Lian casually shrugged her shoulders.

“I’ll compensate with my own savings then.”

Leaving the carriage behind, Lian’s group and Weibyeong climbed up a tree a bit far away to hide.

They held their breath on the branches full of leaves and watched the carriage.

They had no choice but to stay still until Drake appeared, so the meaningless time passed relentlessly.

“What are we doing… ”

“Shh! He’s coming this way.”

“Hmm?”

At Weibyeong’s words that Drake was approaching, he looked around, but the forest was eerily quiet.

Not feeling any presence, he couldn’t help but feel nervous.

“If you don’t want Drake to go for your backside, be quiet.”

As Weibyeong was about to complain, Lian forcefully covered his mouth with her hand.

Just as he was about to protest, a huge lizard larger than a tree trunk sprang out from the ground.

Drake, with wings degenerated but with a forehead adorned with tough scales, had the habit of digging the ground with his forehead.

This was the main reason why Drake was hardly observed by people.

“Kwaaah!”

Drake roared so loudly that it left a ringing in their ears.

As Arong’s legs touched the ground, the earth shook violently.

“Yikes…!”

As a result, Lian almost fell from the tree, but Lian quickly caught her body and pulled her close.

“T-Thank you!”

“Even in this situation, escort duties are always being performed, so you can rest assured.”

“Yes…! Ouch!”

“Where did you get hurt?”

“No, I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt a chill.”

“You seem very cold. Should I lend you my coat?”

“Oh, thank you… Ouch!”

Once again, a chill covered Arong’s body.

No one realized that the source was the sacred power quietly emanating from Lian’s sword.

“Kwaaah!”

Meanwhile, the noisy Drake, who had emerged on the ground, spotted the carriage.

The back of the carriage looked very tempting to Drake’s eyes.

He began to get excited to the point of drooling, but he felt that the abandoned carriage in the forest was strange and looked around.

Drake, who was on guard, immediately took action as soon as he realized that the forest was no different from usual.

Lifting his front legs, he gently placed them on the canopy of the carriage and pushed his abdomen into the carriage.

Then, as if moving his waist slowly, he soon began to shake uncontrollably.

“Prana, oh my goodness!”

“Did you see that? What did I say?”

“Oh, I understand! I deeply reflect on suspecting you.”

“It’s not just going to end with words, right?”

“Uh, I will pay back double the compensation for deceiving you and sharing information.”

“Okay!”

Lian was skillfully dismantling and taking things from Weibyeong, saying that she had properly caught the culprit.

The figure with a wicked smile that resembled a demon made the merchant’s wife who had accepted him as an escort secretly fearful.

“Now that the truth has been revealed, shall we head back?”

“Just a moment. There’s still something I need to do.”

“Is there something else you need to tell me?”

“Yes, the most crucial information. But to understand it, we must wait until Drake’s actions are complete.”

“I have to keep watching that horrific scene…”

The guard who didn’t want to witness Drake’s carnal activities.

Despite the strong desire to leave, seeing the determined look in the now serious Lian’s eyes made her resolve.

Her curiosity about what secrets the sly Drake held also added to her determination.

“What exactly do you plan to reveal?”

“People don’t even know that Drake goes crazy in the carriage, right? You can think of it as an extension of that information.”

“An extension?”

“In short, if you keep watching, you’ll find out everything.”

As time passed, Drake’s actions began to mature to a certain extent.

Lian, who was the only one closely observing the situation, placed her hand on her sword hilt.

“Ha-ah!”

And at that moment, as if waiting for that moment, she leaped down from the tree and drew her sword.

The others were taken aback by Lian’s unexpected actions that were not forewarned.

“Aaron!”

“It’s dangerous!”

“I don’t know what she’s trying to do, but it’s reckless!”

“Trust me and just watch quietly.”

After finishing his refreshing carnal activities in the carriage, Drake turned his head towards the commotion nearby.

Momentarily taken aback by the human rushing towards him with fierce determination, he flicked his tail to respond.

Drake’s tail had sharp spikes like thorns, and a direct hit would pierce through the body.

To avoid the tail, one had to step back, but Lian continued to run without stopping.

“Watch out!”

“Ahh!”

“Are you trying to die?!”

Some screamed, some covered their faces with both hands, some twisted their faces in extreme disgust.

Although their reactions varied, they all anticipated the same outcome.

The sight of Lian being struck by Drake’s tail and dying a miserable death.

“Really, I told you to trust me…”

Just as Drake’s tail was about to reach her body.

Lian leaped high into the air by kicking the ground.

Anticipating this, Drake twisted his body mid-air to change the direction of his tail.

With a close call, the tail missed hitting her directly, but the sharp scales grazed her skin.

Drake’s scales cut into Lian’s skin, leaving numerous wounds.

Although it was expected, for some reason, the scales only grazed her skin without causing any serious harm.

“Even humans, and even Drake himself, don’t know this fact. After the act, Drake’s scales temporarily become weaker!”

Prior knowledge is important.

Proving this fact with her own body, Lian swung her sword in mid-air.

The strong scales prevented her from entering, but the blade of her sword pierced deeply into Drake’s neck.

Even though it was not a sharp sword, it tore through the flesh smoothly, penetrating deep inside.

“Sss…! Agh!”

As she screamed, even her vocal cords were cut, and only the sound of the wind could be heard.

Having severed Drake’s neck with a single stroke, Lian wiped the blood off her sword and sheathed it.

At the same time, Drake collapsed messily to the ground, breathing his last breath.

“Did you see that? By using the carriage in this way, you can easily capture Drake!”

Entering the sage mode and seizing the vulnerable enemy with cunning.

He was truly a specimen of a bastard, but Wibyeong couldn’t possibly think that Ryan had weakened.

The boldness that didn’t flinch in front of Drake and the precision to slit a throat with just one strike.

And the exceptional breadth of knowledge that encompassed the three elements made him truly awe-inspiring.

“Even if he didn’t use a carriage, he would have easily slit his throat….”

He quickly dismissed the thought that it might be an overestimation.

Nevertheless, the fact that he alone brought down Drake remained unchanged, so Wibyeong knelt in awe before the only hope.

“Now that we’ve captured Drake, you should give us five times the reward!”

The sense of money was a very realistic hope.

***

Not far from the scene where Ryan was, behind a tree not too far away.

There stood a woman of the dragon tribe with wings of a dragon that Drake didn’t have.

She peeked her face out from the side of the tree and gazed at Ryan intently.

“Ah….”

The woman who only uttered a single word of admiration without any movement.

On her shoulder, a dragon that had shrunk in size from the cave they had spent together was perched.

The dragon began to whisper softly as it circled around the woman.

“Why are you just standing there? Didn’t you say that person was the one they were looking for so desperately?”

“….”

“Perhaps you weren’t ready to apologize.”

It seemed that she was too nervous to speak when faced with the situation she had come to apologize for.

Seeking forgiveness after a conflict that had lasted for nearly 8 years was not an easy task.

Just as she was about to advise herself that it might be better for her mental well-being to be satisfied with just meeting this time and go back.

The woman, who had been silent, suddenly started to repeat the same words like a waterfall pouring out.

“My master is amazing♡ My master is amazing♡ My master is amazing♡ My master is amazing♡ My master is amazing♡ My master is amazing♡ My master is amazing♡ My master is amazing♡”

A woman expressing her passionate love for her former master like her fiery red hair.

It wasn’t nerves, but rather an intense level of affection towards her former master.
