"You must return soon, or I will come after you. And remember, don't let any commoner see your face or allow any woman to touch you! If I catch even a whiff of a woman's fragrance on you, I'll make sure she regrets ever crossing paths with you!" Sophia's tone was stern, reflecting her genuine concern and fear of potential threats against me in the Haman Kingdom. We were in the Imperial Palace, where Rose, Sophia, and Luna had gathered to bid me farewell before my departure.
"You're worrying too much, Sophia. I'll be back before you know it, once I've finished my work," I reassured her, planting a kiss on her lips. Rose and Luna watched with disapproval, their cold stares urging me to give them equal attention. Sighing at their disapproving glares, I approached them and tenderly kissed each of them in turn.
"Onii-chan, I'll miss you. Please come back as soon as you can," Luna pleaded, her voice tinged with longing.
"My dear, be cautious. The Haman Kingdom is currently at war with humanity. If they discover your involvement with Haman, they won't hesitate to seek revenge against the Duke's family. Without us dragons there to protect you, you'll be in grave danger," Rose warned, placing a hand on my shoulder to emphasize the seriousness of the situation.
I nodded and replied, "I'll keep that in mind."
Turning away, I cast one last glance at them before soaring away into the sky. They watched me until I disappeared from view. Rose and Sophia couldn't help but feel a mix of hope and worry for my safety, while Luna wore a confident smile, knowing deep down that I would be alright.
"So, the Haman Kingdom is located in the south. It'll probably take a few days to reach there, or maybe just a few hours if I have my flight ability. I need to get there as quickly as possible," I mused to myself as I flew southward. Meanwhile, Frosty stirred from her long slumber, realizing that we were soaring through the sky.
[Where are you rushing off to, kid? Slow down, or you'll drain your mana significantly!] Frosty's voice echoed in my mind.
"You're awake at last. While you were sleeping, many things happened. I'm heading toward the Human Kingdom to save its residents and take down those who serve the royal family," I explained.
[Huh? Why would you bother helping those inferior mortals? They're nothing more than worms crawling on the ground. I suggest we just wipe them out!] Frosty countered.
Frosty's perspective is similar to Rose and Sendra's to kill anyone who dares to defile their judgment and wish. I instantly refused her proposal to kill civilians and spoke "No, absolutely not I don't want to kill the innocent until they enraged me or have committed some sins, Even if I kill them I would become a tyrant which I don't want!"
[Hahahaha! You are a fool kid! You still haven't understood the world law and they won't fear you until you show them no mercy!]
I don't understand Frosty idea and her perspective how the world, But I came to know that fear is necessary to keep people from having killing intentions toward me.
"You sure do love blood massacre, but remember this is not your world where you to rule... Hay you haven't told me about that unknown thing that defeated you?" Suddenly I remembered Someone whom Frosty mentioned when I was fighting Alaric, I was curious about that mysterious thing that Frosty had memories of millions of years ago.
Frosty turns silent afterwards for a few seconds I don't know what happened to her suddenly that made her think.
"Frosty why are you silent, are you remembering the time when you encounter that being?" I spoke in my cute and gentle voice that could easily stab any woman's heart Frosty daydream broken because of my sudden voice.
[Y-you bastard!]
Frosty curses me out of the blue suddenly which catches me off guard, Even though she is the woman at the end of the day and all females in the world drool after me after one glace of my appearance.
"Why did you say that? I haven't said anything offensive" I swiftly objected to Frosty's words she spoke to me.
[Your voice is... Never speak like that again!]
"Fine, but tell me first about the unknown thing. I won't be quiet until you explain it to me!" I insisted stubbornly, determined to learn more about the mysterious being that Frosty had mentioned. My curiosity was ignited, and I couldn't let it go until I had answers. Frosty, sensing my resolve, let out a resigned sigh before continuing.
"It all started millions of years ago when I was at the pinnacle of my true Ice Dragon form. I used to rule over the Ice realm, and all the creatures feared the sight of me. My presence struck terror into the hearts of all who beheld me. I believed myself to be a god of the world, until I encountered that thing," Frosty began, reminiscing about her days of power and dominance over the realm.
"I had never witnessed anything like it before. At first glance, I instantly realized that this thing didn't belong in our world," she concluded, her voice tinged with a mixture of awe and uncertainty.
"What do you mean this thing doesn't belong in this world? How does it look like?" I immediately questioned, intrigued by Frosty's mention of something from another world. While uncertain about my assumptions, one word lingered on the tip of my tongue, eager to be voiced.
"Huh? You sound like you know about that thing, don't you?" Frosty responded, her curiosity piqued by my inquiry.
"I don't know, but I'm curious. Tell me, what does that look like?" I pressed further, eager for details.
Frosty fell momentarily silent, her thoughts drifting as she attempted to recall the elusive details of the mysterious entity. "Sadly, my memories are blurry, and I don't remember much about it. But all I could say is that the thing had a very liquid-like body and travelled with the help of a giant, round-shaped flying artifact. It caught me off guard and was about to possess my body, but before that could happen, I destroyed myself," she explained.
I breathed and stopped after listening to the description from Frosty even though her explanation was sketchy I came to one conclusion and spoke "Alien!"
