Chapter 97: Dragon Child Rescued ②

Translated by AmaLynne

Sam and others returned outside from the basement and were greeted by the Magic Army, the Knights, and King Clyde.

「Samuel, Günther, I see it is all over.」

「―――King.」

「Your Majesty.」

Sam and Günther kneel together.

「Good, don’t be alarmed. You have done well.」

「Yes.」

「Thank you.」

After confirming that they had both stood up, the king stood in front of the red dragon with its cubs and bowed deeply.

「I apologize once again, red dragon. I am sorry.」

「No more. My children are all safe. Sam and the others have done their best. Then I have no intention of causing any more trouble.」

「I’m glad to hear you say so.」

The king is clearly relieved.

No wonder, since he was able to confirm that the dragon threat was no longer looming over the Skye Kingdom.

「So what are you going to do now?」

「……I plan to move with my children to someplace safe and secure to heal from the wounds of my battle with Sam.」

「Sorry.」

「No, that was not the right thing to say. I hurt you too, don’t worry about it.」

Sam apologizes for the red dragon’s words but is laughed at.

「Do you have any guesses about where?」

「No. But the world is a big place. There must be a safe haven somewhere.」

「H-Hey, does that mean we’re just going to wander around the world with no clue where we’re going?」

「That’s what I mean. There are some places that are inaccessible to us, so we would like to spend a few years in some quiet place with no people, although it is limited. In the meantime, my children will grow up.」

「Red Dragon, then I have a proposal for you.」

「A proposal?」

「In our territory, not far from the capital, there is a mountain range that has not been touched by human hands. Why don’t you take up residence there?」

「What do you mean?」

「I will give you the land.」

The dragon rolled its eyes at Clyde’s words.

「―――Are you out of your mind? You want us, the dragons, to live in this country?」

「We, the Skye Kingdom, want to build a good relationship with the Red Dragon. Although it started with our mismanagement, I hope that our relationship will be restored in the future.」

「…………」

「I understand your concern, so your response does not have to be immediate. However, we would like to at least be able to treat your injuries. There are wizards in this country who excel in recovery magic. Would you be so kind as to allow him to treat you?」

「I understand… Thank you for your offer.」

Although the dragon did not respond to the accommodation offer, she did agree to treat her injuries and thanked for the help.

It would be good for her to have her wounds healed.

If the king had not offered, Sam would have thought of making a proposal to him.

「Then I will make the arrangements. ―――Oh, and until then, you’ll have to stay somewhere. Count Walker!」

「Ha, here!」

Jonathan Walker, at the forefront of the magical army, stepped forward when the king called his name.

「I would like you to take care of Lord Red Dragon and her children at your residence. Is that alright with you?」

「U-Understood!」

He asks if he don’t mind, but he practically has no veto power.

Count Walker agreed in a hoarse voice.

(―――Master, your face is so tense. No, it’s not unreasonable, but…)

Taking care of a dragon and its child, which is said to be a natural disaster, at the residence must be the biggest event since the Earl Walker family began.

It must be because Sam is being taken care of by Count Walker’s family that he was chosen.

「Sam, you must also make sure that your wounds are completely healed. You will be treated together with Lord Red Dragon.」

「Thank you for your concern.」

「I would like to meet with you again at a later date. Is that all right with you?」

「Of course.」

「I will send a messenger in the near future. Until then, please take good care of the Red Dragon and her child.」

「Yes.」

Thus, the scorching dragon and its children were placed in the care of Count Walker’s family.

.

In the corner of Sam’s eye, he saw the Count holding his stomach and making a pained face, but it must have been his imagination.

Sam was finally able to relax, knowing that the series of events that had begun with the duel with Albert had come to an end.
