TAPGB - Chapter 102
The Abandoned Prince's Ghost Bride
Crung! sick!
'Why not do it gently?'
'What should I do if the spear is stuck deep? It's a dragon! Can't I use pain relief magic or something?'
Krung, crung!
'I can't do that because I don't have the strength right now! Didn't I tell you to do it gently?'
'Go to sleep, don't fight. Arya, you too, be a little more careful.'
After arguing a lot, Odell and Arya decided to treat the dragon.
Although the dragon was grumbling, it was responding obediently to the help of the lowly humans.
How much time has passed?
They managed to pull out all the weapons stuck in the dragon's body.
Odell pulled out the last arrow and looked down at the pile of weapons. His eyebrows naturally furrowed.
4 spears, 2 swords, 7 arrows.
'Crazy guys.'
Isn't this really hunting?
Odell clenched his fists and looked back at the dragon. He had lost so much blood that he was breathing heavily and focused on his recovery.
If it weren't for Arya, he probably wouldn't have even thought of pulling out a spear or sword. If she hadn't cast her recovery spell right away, the dragon might have died from excessive blood loss.
'Ugh... I'm at my limit now...'
Arya, who had been using recovery magic while squeezing out all the magical energy in her body, stumbled. Odell hurriedly helped her up.
Her already white face became even whiter and pale.
'Thank you for your hard work, Arya. Chewing this.'
Arya weakly munched on the herbs Odel gave her. It was a good herb for restoring energy.
Odell leaned Arya against the wall so she could rest comfortably and then examined the dragon.
Thanks to Arya, the bleeding wound was healed to some extent.
Of course, that doesn't mean it's healed enough to be able to stand up right away.
Jureuk-
The dragon's closed eyes opened at the sound of something being squeezed out. He rolled his big eyes.
Odell, who was less than a bite away, was wiping blood from his scales with a cloth soaked in water.
Cerrer-
'Ah, are you awake? Please wait for a moment. I'm wiping off the blood right now.'
Odell said with a kind smile in response to the dragon's cry. The dragon still looked at him with wary eyes, but it didn't show any signs of life like it did when it spewed fire.
The dragon couldn't understand why he was sweating and working hard on his uncomfortable legs.
'Are you stupid?'
'You mean me?'
'Is there anyone else here who is stupid other than you?'
Odell, who felt aggrieved for a moment, looked at Arya a little away, but she was lying in a semi-faint state.
'Even after all this, I'm is Dragon's benefactor.'
Krrrrrrrrrrrrrr
'Who is the benefactor? I never asked for help!'
'But, you know that if it weren't for us, you might not have been able to get treatment, right?'
Khu, khuh...
The dragon hated to admit it, but it wasn't wrong. Because he was losing so much blood, he couldn't even use healing magic on himself.
If it had been left as is, it would probably have been...
The dragon, who briefly remembered his end, slowly blinked his eyes and looked back at Odell.
After wiping away the last of the blood he wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a deep breath.
'...Why did you help me?'
When Odell turned to ask if he was asking that question again, the dragon was moved to tears for a moment.
'I tried to kill you! Then why did you help me!'
Even though he was receiving help, he couldn't possibly understand this person. Normally, a human would run away from him like that woman.
'If you're trying to get something from me, you're looking at it wrong! I hate you humans! Don't expect to get anything from me!'
'Have you said everything?'
The dragon flinched at the subdued voice but turned his head and snorted. Odell's sigh was heard behind him.
'The injured person... No. I saw an injured dragon, but it's not right to pretend I didn't see it.'
The dragon trembled and slowly turned his head. He thought he was angry, but Odell seemed unaffected.
'And what do you gain? It's a situation where your life could be at risk right now.'
Does that mean that even though he knows the danger, he comes out so boldly?
The dragon didn't understand Odell anymore.
'Oh no, we're all out of herbs. If only I had my brother...'
Odell, who was applying herbs to the dragon's wounds, expressed his disapproval when the herbs ran out.
The dragon wondered how far Odell would go and decided to watch him. At that moment, a noise caught his ears. That was just a show of popularity.
Krrrrrrrrrrrrrr
'Dragon?'
After being puzzled by the enemy's cries for a moment, Odell could also hear signs of presence. It must be around here...
'Brother! It's my brother! Dragon, please wait a moment!'
The dragon that was baring its teeth stopped and looked at Odell. Before he knew it, he was smiling widely and walking away with a limp.
Not long after he left, human conversations could be heard from afar. They seemed to welcome each other.
'Strange guy. He's something I don't see these days.'
The dragon, who was muttering to himself, looked to the side with cool eyes. Arya, whom he had thought was sleeping, was now raising her upper body.
'He's extremely weak, but that's why he attracts more attention. He doesn't even know what to do with himself and take care of others first.'
'...'
'Honestly, if it weren't for Odell. I wouldn't have helped the lizard.'
'There's a lot to talk about on the topic of dirty witches.'
'I'm wondering if you will harm Odell's group.'
The dragon's eyelids fluttered as if he hadn't actually had that thought.
'What, dragon? Are you crazy?!'
Hey, bro. I said it's okay.'
The dragon and Arya's eyes turned to the passage for a moment as they heard the group's voice coming from afar.
'They are irreplaceable twin brothers. Even if it's a dragon, it won't harm the benefactor's family.'
'Tch.'
The dragon, who had lost steam at the mention of family, clicked his tongue and turned his head.
Arya, thinking she could take a breather with this, stroked her head. Just then, Odell brought in a dumbfounded Leon.
They were clearly twins, and their faces were identical.
'Dragon, this is my older brother. His name is Leon.'
The dragon was shocked to see Odell introduce his brother to him without any fear.
'Brother, this is Dragon. Um.. What's your name?'
It wasn't that Odell was fearless, he was just naive.
The dumbfounded dragon looked at the innocent Odell and the wary Leon and sighed.
'Carserine.'
Arya and Leon, who had never expected to hear its names, trembled, and Odell smiled brightly.
"The name of this body is Carcerine. You foolish human being.'
Slurp-
The long eyelashes fluttered and the closed eyelids opened. Then, the green eyes that had been sleeping inside the eyelids sparkled in the sunlight.

"What kind of fucking dream is this?"
Today too, Caesar, who had been taking a restful nap on the roof of the imperial palace, woke up, reliving his noisy dream.
However, like any other dream, as time passed, the memory of the dream gradually disappeared.
Just in his head...
"Ha, Leah, you woman. You must have called me a lizard?"
Only strong memories come to mind.
When Caesar was alone and indignant, remembering Leah, who had always thought of him as insignificant, he stopped kicking in the air and lay down on his side.
"I guess I stuck with them quite a bit."
If he sees them in his dreams too.
Perhaps because it was a dream, it was a little different from what he usually knew.
"Leah has become more cheesy, and Lucian..."
Hmm? How was Lucian?
Caesar was sure Lucian had appeared, but suddenly it was like there was a haze and he couldn't remember his face. It seems like two after images are overlapping.
Caesar grabbed his head and tried to recall the Lucian he had seen in his dream, but he could not recall the dream he had already forgotten.
“Kiyaaaaaak! What on earth!”
As the frustration built up, all he could do was struggle.
"Wow, it's so loud! What the hell are you doing on the roof! Then the palace will collapse!"
Caesar stopped at the shout coming from below. He looked down and saw Leah venting her frustrations on the terrace.
For 10 minutes ago, she had been patiently enduring Caesar's thumping and screaming on the roof.
"Good, you! How dare you call this body a lizard....!"
"What are you saying now. If you're still awake, go wash your face!"
Caesar trembled when he saw the terrace door slamming shut with a sigh.
"Leah. You always say something to me,"
How beautiful was that and why did he even dream about it?
Caesar stuck out his tongue at Leah's already disappeared spot and vented his anger on his own.
"Just wait and see. I will tell everything to Lucian."
Caesar doesn't know if they will accept him as Lucian, but anyway. The dragon once again felt that his situation was pitiful.
He wonders why the noble red dragon got caught by those two guys and stays here.
"You don't know that this body is important... Huh?"
Caesar, who was muttering to himself, realized that an unfamiliar person had been caught in his territory.
Ever since he came to stay here like Leah, he has spread out his guard wide and inspected all areas of the Emperor's palace.
Therefore, it was safe to say that he was aware of all the people who frequented the Emperor's palace.
But now an unfamiliar presence was detected.
Caesar's eyes widened when he realized that the figure was not inside the Emperor's palace, but wandering around the border of the garden.
His pupils were vertically elongated like a reptile, and he was soon able to catch the sight.
“Hoo?”
The popular person was none other than Lucian's fiancee, Lilith.
She was exchanging secret letters with a member of the Emperor's palace.
Soon, the employee left the place in a hurry, and Lilith was also looking around to see if anyone was there or not.
Before long, Lilith glared at the Emperor's palace with fierce eyes.
"Certainly. I'll put it back where it belongs."
It was a voice full of life. It was easy to guess where that life was headed.
Seeing her leaving soon after, Caesar was lost in thought for a moment.
"It's faster than I think?"
When Lilith snuck into the garden like a rat and caught a glimpse of Leah and Lucian dancing, Caesar thought something would happen someday, but she moved faster than he expected.
She's s clearly trying to trick Leah.
"Should I just kill her now?"
Since last time, she's been making people around him annoyed.
'But then Lucian will be in trouble. Leah will nag me about something too.'
Caesar's face remained cold for a moment, but then he thought of Leah and Lucian and relaxed.
"Let's just tell Lucian."
As Caesar stood up thinking that was the best, a thought suddenly passed through his mind.
"Crisis You can make it an opportunity, right?"
The two had already become a little closer since Lucian's birthday. The only problem is that there has been no progress since they got a little closer.
Caesar was already feeling more frustrated seeing the two... Wouldn't it be a good stimulus if a catalyst appeared in the middle?
"Hehehe... Is it okay?"
Caesar immediately gave up the idea of going to Lucian and lay down on the roof again.
"Leah is not a child who will be easily defeated, so if the situation arises, I can intervene in the middle."
Caesar doesn't know right now whether that woman will be poisoned or benefit, but she will definitely present a turning point.
Thinking like that, Caesar snorted leisurely.
