Episode 122
âYou, thatâsâ¦! Do you have to do that far?â
Eugene stormed out of the seat and shouted.
Carefully leaning Cassius against the pillar of the tree, I glanced back at Eugene, who was so excited.
âThat prince is right. Why do you always have to suffer? What did you do wrong?â
âYeah, Iâm curious, too.â
I replied with a weak voice with a big smile.
âIf I didnât have to do it, my life could have been more comfortable.â
I looked at Cassius who was asleep and said quietly.
âThere would be nothing that would prick inside.â
For more,
If I didnât do this, I couldnât stand it.
âStill, itâs a shame I canât use these eyes again even if I survive.â
She fiddled around my eyes with her right hand.
Then the woman narrowed her forehead and asked with a slightly surprised look.
âSorry?â
âYes, because of these eyes, Iâve been able to protect people who loved me.â
I looked at her staring at me, blinking her red eyes.
âIâm grateful for these eyes.â
Her eyelashes were shaking.
Breathing out and closing her eyes tightly, she opened her mouth with a trembling voice.
âYour, no, Yerineâs mother treated me differently than any other human being who hurt me. She persuaded others who kill dragons that hurt people, for me.â
For some reason, at this moment, I was mistaken that she was not a dragon but a human.
âSo, I wanted to help her daughter who lost her eyes. I gave my eyes because it didnât work with magic.â
Her bloody red eyes reappeared through the white eyelashes.
âI used to regret that choice.â
A small trembling finger touched my cheek.
âThank you very much for telling me that.â
She was thinking of Yerine when she saw me.
But apparently, she knew that I and Yerine were different people.
This dragon was distinguishing me from her.
âWhy meâ¦â¦â¦ why are you helping meâ¦â¦?â
Her red shimmering eyes drew a line.
âThat kid begged me to help you.â
In the woods filled with the sound of the wind brushing through the leaves, her calm voice rang out.
