Chapter 91: An Unexpected Development ②
Translated by AmaLynne
The Red Dragon was silent for a while, perhaps not fully understanding Sam’s words.
After a moment, however, it raised its right leg wide and stomped on the ground.
A roaring sound echoed through the air, and the ground cracked into a spider web.
She took a deep breath and seemed to be trying to calm her emotions.
Anger, resentment, and impatience to get her children back, she suppressed all those emotions and told Sam briefly.
「Explain.」
「Okay.」
Sam told the dragon, who finally listened, about Albert.
Sam, and perhaps even the king, did not perceive that the child had been kidnapped.
He and Albert had a history and dueled.
Sam told her that he killed him in that duel to cut off future sorrow.
「I understand. If you killed the man who kidnapped my child, so be it. I regret that I could not do it myself, but I cannot care about dead people anymore. But that does not change the fact that I must get my child back.」
「About that, I was wondering if you would let me help you rescue the child?」
「What?」
「No, you know. It was Albert and the people he was working with who was at fault. You are the victim. That’s why.」
Sam is not trying to clean up Albert’s mess, but he doesn’t want this country to be destroyed because of him.
Even if he fought the red dragon to the end, one of them would die.
(Why should I risk my life to fight a dragon because of Albert! And the other party is a mother who just wants her child back! Fuck you, Albert!)
Anyway, Albert is to blame.
Sam and the dragon were both victims.
Then it is nonsense to fight among victims.
「…I don’t want human help, but for the sake of my children, I have no choice. I understand. What should I do?」
Sam is deeply relieved that she took his suggestion.
At least now he would not have to fight the dragon.
「You do know where the kids are, don’t you?」
「The human city has its own set of wards, so it’s not exact, but I can give you an approximate location.」
「Then let me report to the king first. Inform him that you mean no harm to this country and that you are looking for the children.」
「Do you have to do that?」
「If you don’t know exactly where the kids are, you need help, don’t you?」
「…………」
「And what if something happens to the children when you try to get it back by force? Wouldn’t it be troublesome if the country remained alert?」
Above all, Sam doesn’t want the conversation to get bogged down and end up fighting her.
It is also unclear whether the king will cooperate with the dragon’s situation, but it would be troublesome if Sam does not at least let the king know that her goal is the children and that she has no intention of doing anything about the Skye Kingdom.
More than that, there was also Sam’s personal feeling that he could not do without telling someone that Albert and his merry band of friends had caused this situation.
「I understand. I’ll take your offer.」
「Thank you.」
「But if anything happens to my children, not only will I kill you, but I will destroy your country!」
「That’s fine. I’ll fight with all my might then.」
(Please, I beg of you, do not harm the dragon children.)
Sam could not help but hope so, for his own sake and for that of his country.
