When the next day dawned, Xian headed for the palace of Semain.

Upon arriving at the palace, I sent a message to Cecily and waited in the waiting room, where Ophelia came after a while.

“So, is Doryeong leaving?”

Ophelia, who had been saying that as she entered the room, immediately stopped walking as soon as she saw Xian.

Surprised eyes are impressive.

“Yes, that small dolyeong is like this… .”

It was the reason why I grew up while I couldn’t see it.

Anyway, 7 years have passed.

It was enough time for the little boy to become a young man.

It was several years ago that I had last seen it, and Ophelia, who was convinced in her heart, looked up and down the well-grown Xian and sat down.

“I knew he would be a great man, but now I really feel like a man.”

“It’s too much praise, Your Highness.”

Ophelia, who was about to lift the car that had been prepared, hesitated.

“Is it not only the body that has grown? .”

Ophelia raised her head with a happy face, as if she had heard a funny joke.

“Where did you learn to talk like that? Doryeong.”

“Was it strange… ?”

In fact, Xian still hadn’t spoken like this.

It was in a state of forced formality. It was because he had to say that he wanted to take Cecily with him today.

You have to show off your mature side at least a little bit.

“No, it suits you very well.”

Ophelia nobly put down the teacup that wet her lips.

“However, if you are forcing yourself to work hard, do as usual. Aren’t I the kind of person who doesn’t care about that?”

Xian was relieved at her words.

‘Isn’t that strange… .’

said Ophelia.

“Yes, what did you do after disappearing from Semine’s arena to grow up like this?”

Xian not only grew physically, but also grew remarkably in power.

Deep down, he had pride in raising Cecily to be strong, but that was overshadowed.

“I just fought. Without a break with friends.”

“You fought?”

At Sian’s words, Ophelia looked at Stain, who was standing next to him this time.

A satisfied smile spread across her lips.

“That’s how it happened.”

Stein, too, had grown beyond comparison to when he had last seen him.

It was on a different level than when he and Camilla had shared numbers in the past.

Even then, about 5 years old, she was on a par with Camilla, but now it has become rude to compare each other.

‘Even Camilla is not a child lacking by any means… .’

she is the daughter of her own

Even though there was no doubt about his talent, he was like this.

Ophelia laughed bitterly this time.

It was not difficult to predict that Alteon’s reputation would gradually increase in the future.

And that eventually leads to the growth of Ferento, a neighboring country. It’s never a pleasant thing.

“With the doryeong, Alteon will enjoy unprecedented glory.”

“That too is an undeserved word.”

It was right after Ophelia said that.

The royal guard who received the news from the lady-in-waiting came quietly and whispered to her.

“is it?”

After finishing the conversation with the Royal Knight, Ophelia said.

“Looks like it’s time to say goodbye. Doryeong.”

“yes?”

“I want to talk more, but I must have already prepared everything. He must have come to pick up Cecily, right?”

“ah… Aren’t you angry?”

First of all, Cecily is now the princess of a country.

Sian wondered what to do if Ophelia objected to Cecily leaving.

Contrary to concerns, however, Cecily seemed to be willing to follow along, and it was fortunate that Ophelia also seemed to have no desire to go cheap for some reason.

“Isn’t it a relationship that can be stopped even if you get angry?”

“Where is Cecily?”

“I told you to wait at the entrance to the palace.”

Ophelia felt good inside when she saw that a foolish figure quickly emerged from Xian, who had been arrogant despite the invitation.

Ophelia smiled emptyly at Xian, who was trying to get up from her seat and looked at her.

“It’s good to go out.”

“thank you.”

Sian stopped before leaving the room with Stein.

“Oh, and I really appreciated the help you gave me last time.”

“help? When did I help Doryeong?”

“There was an incident where the guards were handed over at night the other night.”

Ophelia asked, recalling what had happened a long time ago.

“You mean that request from about six years ago?”

“yes.”

Ophelia put on a happy smile.

“That’s fine, wouldn’t it be like helping each other? Next time, the doryeong should also take care of my convenience.”

“Ah, is that so?”

Xian said at Ophelia’s silent nod.

“Yes, then. Call me if you need it.”

When Sian left the room this time, Ophelia, who had leisurely sipped her tea, rose from her seat.

Moving to the window, she confirmed that Xian was meeting Cecily.

“For the next 100 years, I’m going to get tired of hearing the name of Alteon… .”

Luckily, he wasn’t asking for anything, but it was a small comfort that he was aware that he had been helped.

* * *

Cecily was waiting for Xi’an, remembering what happened yesterday.

It was yesterday evening when training ended earlier than usual.

“Let’s end today’s training here.”

“Yes, mother.”

The period Cecily stayed in this palace was seven years.

I was puzzled because it was the first training that ended when I had enough stamina, but her instructions are almost absolute.

It was natural for Cecily to follow without a word.

“This mother is a horse.”

Ophelia’s voice came suddenly.

It was the first time. What she said for reasons other than training.

As Cecily focused, she opened her mouth.

“I got everything except for one thing.”

one thing…

Cecily was curious about that.

It was because he knew that Ophelia, as a warrior and as a king, had reached the top where his body permitted it.

‘That’s why I’m more curious.’

Curiosity was soon released naturally as Ophelia’s mouth opened.

“Yeonja, I couldn’t get the man I wanted.”

Ophelia said as if recalling old memories.

“Even though he looked like that, he was a popular guy.”

“Are you Drake?”

Ophelia raised a corner of her mouth quietly.

That was the correct answer.

The first time I visited this place the other day.

She remembered the question Xian had asked her.

What is your relationship with Drake?

‘I guess you had Drake in mind.’

At the time, they were lightly introduced as friends, but there was also such a complicated relationship.

Ophelia’s eyes turned to Cecily.

“Do you think you understand why you are talking about this?”

“… I don’t know.”

Even thinking about it for a moment, it seemed a little out of the blue.

The story just a moment ago was so sudden.

“I think the time has come for you to leave soon.”

Is Xian’s training over?

On the one hand, I was happy, but even that was short-lived.

The laughter that was about to bloom faded.

It was because he knew that he could not follow Xian without Ophelia’s permission.

It was said that she would stay here until she deserved to stay by Bondi Xian’s side, but it wouldn’t be strange if she came and changed her mind now.

At least she was a person who could do such shameless things here, and she had that kind of strength.

Fortunately, however, Ophelia did not appear to have decided to change her mind.

He looked at Cecily and spoke softly.

“You won’t get one either.”

“… … .”

“Either a man or a king.”

These words were great.

It was because it was no different from saying that he would hand over the throne to Cecily if he didn’t follow Xian.

And it was because he said that he would gladly let go of himself while thinking about that.

‘You can’t get either… .’

I can see Xian approaching from afar.

It was as if he could hear the words of Ophelia, who hugged and encouraged him last night.

-Still, I hope you get a speaker if possible.

It’s not because it’s a road you haven’t been on.

He had said that because he knew that Cecily had always wanted it, rather than the title of king of a country like this, from the beginning.

“please… .”

“What did you say?… yo. this?”

Cecily laughed at Cian, who had heard something muttering.

“Are you still trying to use honorifics?”

Xian had grown so fast that he hadn’t seen it.

But not to the point of being unrecognizable.

Red hair, dazzling appearance.

Unlike before, he was looking down at himself from a heightened eye level, but somehow, the old image remained.

“ah… Are you that nervous?”

it is also cyan

Just looking at your face makes me feel at ease.

“Let’s go Xi’an.”

Cecily muttered in her heart what she couldn’t say thanks to Xian.

‘I’ll do that.’

* * *

Xian joined Drake, who was waiting outside the gates of Semain, and left the capital.

The road back to Alteon was fresh to Xian.

The outside world that I had forgotten was a completely new feeling from what I had felt before.

‘Is this the level at which the strong look at the world?’

After walking around for a few days, I get a rough idea.

The reality was that there was nothing that could be called a risk factor.

Even the monster Bert, who was one of the strongest among the monsters, would have been dizzy if it was like before, but now he didn’t even have to draw his sword.

‘What’s the matter… .’

Even if it was that stain once, I won.

No matter how much Dragon Heart hasn’t grown, dragonskill is a huge weakness for Xian, but even so, surviving the dragonskill and surpassing Stain means that he has grown tremendously.

It was natural that the world felt different than before.

‘however… Is Hughes tracking well?’

Hughes, who always said he would watch over him, never showed up again after that day.

He even wondered if he was following him or not.

I look back several times on the way, wondering if something might have happened.

This time, Xian’s eyes shone as he glanced back once more when he had only looked back five minutes ago.

‘uh… ?’

Hughes’ butterfly.

It stood out because it was quite a heterogeneous existence in this place, which was nothing more than a wasteland with only a few trees and grasses from time to time.

Xian was relieved to see that the butterfly would soon become powder and disperse.

‘It’s nothing special… .’

After confirming that Hughes was all right, Xian reassured himself and hurried his steps.

It’s only been three days since I left Semain.

It was because there was still a long way to go to reach Alteon.

“Let’s rest here for today.”

However, when Xian started to move his steps comfortably, this time Drake was the problem.

He ordered to prepare for camping a little earlier than usual.

Now I’m trying to get motivated to walk, but I didn’t think the beat would match like this…

“Now?”

“Yes, walking a little longer won’t change anything anyway.”

He had something to say, but Xian didn’t bother to say it.

Drake’s instructions are absolute anyway.

‘I might be persuaded by persuading again.’

Even if he succeeded in changing his mind after a war of words, it was obvious that after spending time persuading him, he would end up preparing for camp without moving much.

If it was going to be like that, I was saying that it would make no difference whether I prepare now or prepare then.

“Okay, let’s get ready.”

Xian took out his tools from his bag and started preparing for camp.

‘This means I’m really used to it now.’

In the Roman Kingdom, the temperature drops miraculously at night.

For this reason, it was essential to set up a tent to block the wind for camping, but after doing this a few times, I was already good at it.

After moving moderately, a small tent was created.

It was around the time the sun was setting outside and a bonfire was being built.

I was trying to get a light meal, but Xian felt something.

‘what?’

I thought it was a monster that felt the blatant murder, but it didn’t seem like it.

‘It’s pretty strong… .’

Among the monsters that appear around here, Bert is the strongest.

However, it was not a monster that conveyed this level of intimidation.

Looking around, it seems that other people have noticed this as well…

Whatever his identity, it was right after Xian quit his job and pulled out his sword in the mood to fight.

Sseuseuk.

Three dolls appeared near the distant horizon.

Soon after, Xian’s expression hardened as he confirmed the guys getting closer.

‘Dragonian?’
