New Story

"Ugh!" Lucifer shook. Blood spewed out from his mouth and stained Roxus's blanket.

"Sir Lucius!" Ernacht and Amaranth immediately support Lucifer's body which is about to collapse.

Roxus stared at Lucifer and furrowed her brows. "What a reckless man," she said dryly. Roxus snapped her finger, and a bright purplish light almost blinded everyone's eyes.

Lucifer's missing left arm suddenly regenerated. All the visible scratches and wounds on his body disappeared as he had never been injured. Even his hair has grown back to normal. The blood on Roxus's blanket also disappeared, and Lucifer looked like a completely healthy human again.

It didn't stop there yet, Roxus showed an angry expression. "What happened to you? Did you fight an Ancient Dragon? Are you planning to kill yourself?!"

Lucifer returned with an angry expression. "How about you, huh? I told you not to let that woman hurt you again. You said you would be fine, but I arrived and you were even worse than I thought! Luckily I took three Calamity Dragon Hearts for you. You will die if I only bring two."

"You came home almost died like that, you must have challenged an Ancient Dragon to obtain a Calamity Dragon's Heart, right?! If I don't wake up right away you will also die right away!"

"I did meet an Ancient Dragon, but my hand was cut off because I was tired, I'm a human, you remember?!"

"You are human! Even though you are a Swordmaster, how reckless would you be to decide to go and hunt a Calamity Dragon and meet an Ancient Dragon?!"

"Forget it! You've put yourself in danger, so as you promise, grant my wish."

"And why are you bringing up my promise now?! Did you forget that you also just endangered yourself?! Now, why are you suddenly making me promise like that? You knew this was all going to happen, so you made me have to grant your wish?!"

"You promised, Roxus!"

"I'll give you everything, except—"

"Marry me."

It's quiet.

"Have you run out of your will to live?" Roxus asked with growing anger.

Lucifer suddenly knelt on his knees. "I will give up, Roxus," he looked up, at Roxus.

Roxus raised her eyebrows. Her gaze changed.

"I will give up on achieving my goal and take revenge. My Love, I will not avenge my family. From now on I will not live for my grudge, I will live for you."

This is a promise. Lucifer won't stop achieving his goal, but if he says this in front of everyone who is watching, he promises everyone not to involve Roxus or anyone else in his vengeance. This way, Roxus will feel Lucifer is more trustworthy, right?

But Roxus's expression broke Lucifer's heart. The woman was crying. "Oh, Lucifer..."

Lucifer reflexively covered both sides of Roxus' face with his hands. "Do not cry. Please don't cry."

"You never said that your goal was to take revenge for your family," Roxus said amidst her sobs.

Lucifer stood up. He couldn't stand to see Roxus crying, so he quickly and gently wiped her tears. "I'm sorry," he whispered.

"You will get revenge—" Roxus gasped.

"Shh," Lucifer sat beside the bed and hugged Roxus.

Everyone went out of the room to give both of them privacy. Even Ernacht, Eoin, and Amaranth came out of the room. Everyone in the room was someone who could read the atmosphere. If it were the normal conditions, once Roxus and Lucifer had fought, they would probably quickly leave to give them some privacy, but that amazing incident made their brains freeze.

Roxus, just being resurrected by the three Calamity Dragon Hearts?

Lucius, a Swordmaster, hunted three Calamity Dragons and fought an Ancient Dragon?

Horrible. The world they had not known was far away and terrifying. But it's also amazing and dazzling. The two figures seemed to live in a world that was so unreachable. It is the world of the most powerful figures on this planet, killing and being killed.

It made them wonder, what kind of figure was Lucius, the Swordmaster trying to kill? What kind of character would make a person as strong as himself hold a grudge against?

But there was no need for them to think anymore. In this kingdom, the hero figure reappears. After the Imperial Prince Samael, Archmage Roxus Croix, and Princess Cecilia Bertia, the possessor of a World Treasure Magical Item, then Sir Lucius, the Honorable Knight of County Croix is now ​​on the list.

Before long, this story spread throughout the country. No, not a story of heroism and extraordinary strength as a knight, but a story of love. The love story between the Great Swordmaster and the Archmage.

.

"Ooh, how come you're here, young man?" Juverin smiled at a man in expensive clothes equipped with various accessories and medals.

The man had shoulder-length black hair. His eyes were blue, sharp with dragon pupils. "Lord Juverin," he said dryly.

"So, do you still enjoy playing with humans, Orcen?" Juverin shifted in his seat, gesturing to let the Dragon Emperor sit next to him.

Orcen could feel the power of Juverin, an Ancient Dragon, suddenly appearing like a candle flame in the darkness of this capital. He arrived this morning to attend his youngest son's wedding, so he did not expect that on the same day, in the evening, an ancient dragon appeared.

Politely, Orcen sat down next to Juverin. Juverin is not treated as a guest at the gates of this capital. All the soldiers were still on guard against him even though he came with the Honorable Knight, which was why he was only allowed to sit on the bench beside the wall of the capital. But as soon as Orcen, the Dragon Emperor arrived and hurriedly went towards him, everyone wondered if they had been rude to Juverin who turned out to be an important person.

"Why did you suddenly come to this remote area?" asked Orcen then.

"Is this territory yours?" asked Juverin.

Orcen nodded. "Technically, yes. But this region is ruled by a human who has been ruling this place from generation to generation since before I became the Rotund Emperor," explained Orcen.

If you look at it, the two people sitting side by side on the bench look like figures from another world. One was the Dragon Emperor, and the other looked like an old man whom the Dragon Emperor, Orcen Rotund, respected despite his youthful appearance.

"To answer your question, I decided to follow a human to come here," answered Juverin.

Orcen raised an eyebrow. "Following a human?" he asked.

"True. You may know him? He is an extraordinary human, there is no way you, who are closest to humans, do not know him," said Juverin flat, but with a light tone.

"Does the Lord know his name?"

"Lucius. Everyone in this place called him Sir Lucius. He is an interesting young man. I cut off his left hand but he continued to think of me like a mosquito that had just bitten his skin. I was brought here because he also felt I was suitable as a pet, it seems," said Juverin then.

Orcen couldn't respond. His mouth opened slightly with a face full of question marks.

"Then you, why did you come here?" asked Juverin.

"My youngest son is married to the Princess of this kingdom," answered Orcen.

"Oh. There is happy news? Congratulations on getting a daughter-in-law," said Juverin.

"Thank you, Lord Juverin," said Orcen then, even though he had returned to being flat and calm.

"Oh, how I wish I saw my son get married. If only he didn't become a Calamity Dragon..."

Orcen fell silent at Juverin's words. He knows Juverin as one of the senior Ancient Dragons. He decides to live devotedly for the sake of one of his families who becomes a Calamity Dragon. But if he was here now, what would that mean—

"Lashet just died," said Juverin.

"The human I followed killed him."
