Don’t Run Away My Lord

79 – Someone loses the fight (5)

So I already knew the result.

There was no intention from the beginning to collect the cilia flies and drive out Liana.

She was prepared to completely sever ties with her blood relatives, and Celia Paris herself said she would do so, but it would not be good for her to remain involved.

If Celia Pari does not return to the island, there is a possibility that her blood relatives will go out to search for Celia Pari along with me, and Celia Pari, who could not endure human life, may change her mind.

And decisively.

I don’t want to live with cilia flies.

She did not have the confidence to endure her pathological obsession and obsession.

One of the reasons I escaped from the island was because the elders arbitrarily made me betrothed to Ciliafari.

Ciliafari is a female dragon who is very famous on the island, but in a bad way.

Our black dragons have six wings, but cilia flies have five wings.

It’s because she lost one piece, and that’s because… Sigh…

However, she became engaged because she was Rod’s collateral lineage, and because she was the only female of the appropriate age to mate with me among her collateral lineages.

This was the only way to get rid of those cilia flies.

Making her realize that she is not the right person for me and give up.

I was skeptical, but it was a success in the end.

If she had not used this method, Celia Paris would have been constantly burning down her estates to prove herself.

But if I let Liana live in the castle, one of them would die, and I had no intention of losing Liana.

However, she could not kill Celia Paris, who had connected herself to the island with her magic.

I’m sorry, Ciliapari.

I had no choice.

* * * * *

It won’t be long before our child, Erhina, will come into the world.

Because Liana’s body became heavy, Keita cast a strengthening spell on her body.

Thanks to this, Liana was able to enjoy sunbathing with me in the front yard of Yeongju Castle.

The spring day in the earldom was sunny and warm.

Lying on the slanted sunbed, Liana closed her eyes and felt the warm spring breeze.

“Erga. It’s really strange.”

“What?”

“It seems like only yesterday that I saw Erga naked on a slave carriage in the desert.”

“hahahaha. That’s right.”

That’s right.

After escaping from the island and crash-landing in the desert to avoid detection magic, I was approached by slave traders.

Since I didn’t know how to get out of the desert, I was thinking of taking a carriage and going to the city.

But it was a slave carriage, and it was there that I first met Liana.

Liana was an unauthorized saint who belonged to a small merchant at the time. She was a low-cost contract worker who knew how to use her divine power, but she was suddenly kidnapped by a slave trader.

That’s where my relationship with Liana began.

I heard Liana’s plan, or more accurately, what I was saying to myself, and I beat all the slave traders to death and escaped from the slave carriage.

Since she had no immediate means of transportation, she revealed herself to be a dragon and flew to the Kingdom of Verabche, holding Liana in her paws.

The place where we landed was the Viscounty of Tousenne, where all kinds of mercenaries and hunters were set up to catch dragons.

We hunted a wyvern to collect the bounty on the dragon, and obtained a wyvern egg there.

And Viscount Tousenne tricked us by ordering us to transport drugs, and together with a drug investigator we met by chance, we raided Viscount’s drug manufacturing site.

There I decided to become a lord.

Perhaps Liana then began plotting a plan to use me to get her revenge.

To make me the lord of the Kingdom of Tarda and kill the lords who killed their families one by one under the pretext of a territorial war.

From there, he began his journey to become a lord.

After going through all sorts of things, he came to the Kingdom of Tarda.

In order to make money right away, I received a request from the current great lord in Gouda County and went to explore Caple Tower.

There, I met Keita and the powerful magic cast on the tower brought me back to the world 40 years later.

The County of Gouda has already been ruined, and the great lord is suffering from dementia and going back and forth.

Through Liana’s trick, I took over the county and became the count.

However, since there was no longer any possibility of the county returning, they advanced east, slaughtered the cat beastmen of Baron Gilan, and formed an alliance.

From there, we went further east and ended up here.

It’s truly amazing.

Until I escaped from the island, I never imagined that I would be basking in the sunlight in the front yard of Yeongju Castle.

I only had a vague idea that I would hide my identity and use the power of dragons to make money as a mercenary or something like that.

But now I have a large territory, a castle, loyal servants, and beautiful Liana.

This is a pretty good life.

“Erga.”

“Huh?”

“I’m happy.”

“Me too.”

We held hands and laughed.

A black eagle was seen gliding leisurely in the clear sky far away.

Liana pointed to it.

“It’s an eagle. Looking at that reminds me of that wyvern from long ago. But why don’t the eggs hatch?”

“Well… It should have come out a long time ago… But I don’t know. Maybe something went wrong with the time getting mixed up at Caple Tower.”

“Could it be rotten?”

“Hmm… I guess… I guess I should take a look…”

While Liana was talking with her, the eagle slowly flew towards the lord’s castle.

After seeing that, I kicked off the sunbed, got up, and called out to Keita.

“Keita!”

“Did you call me?”

Keita, who was on the railing on this floor right behind us, stuck his head out.

“Sound the alarm immediately!!”

Keita, who was confused by my words, soon looked at the sky beyond where I was pointing and the color drained from his face.

At the same time, the warning magic installed above the Lord’s Castle revealed a red magic circle and started blinking dangerously to make a strange sound.

Esssss-!!

“What is it?!”

Liana stood up suddenly.

“Liana. We’re in the basement of the castle.”

“Underground…? Ah…!”

The eagle was so close that it could be seen with Liana’s naked eyes.

It wasn’t an eagle.

No eagle has five wings.

And it doesn’t emit toxic vapor from its wings.

“Cilia Paris…!”

“Go underground. I will solve it.”

Meanwhile, the private soldiers were busy moving to the crossbows installed throughout Yeongju Castle.

These were all items that Liana had prepared in preparation for cilia flies.

Wolfert ran out and shouted.

“Lord! The black dragon is coming!”

“Wolfert! Take Liana and go down to the basement!”

Fire orders and the sound of crossbows being fired erupted from all over.

He pushed Lyanna towards Wolpert and turned her body to polymorph her.

But it was already too late.

“My lord! It’s already over there…!”

Before Wolfert could even finish speaking, the surroundings were instantly covered in darkness.

When I looked up, I saw that the massive body of Cilia Paris was completely blocking the sun and was just about to crash into the castle.

Holy sh*t…!

Siliafari rushed straight to the waist of the Lord Castle.

No building in the world can withstand a head-on collision with a black dragon.

Kwagwagwagwagwagwa-!!!

Rocks the size of houses fell in all directions, and a powerful dust storm struck.

He pulled Liana and Wolfert at the same time and blocked the flying debris with his back.

Large fragments hit my back and shattered, sending shock throughout my body.

I gave instructions to Wolfert in the thick dust.

“Wolfert, listen carefully. Take Liana and run as far away as possible. Liana must never be seen by Ciliafari. Do you understand?”

“I understand, my lord.”

“Go before the dust settles. Go wherever you want. I’ll come find you later.”

Liana grabbed her arm, but she forced it away and pushed towards Wolpert.

“Go quickly!”

Wolfert disappeared beyond the dust storm, dragging Liana with him.

When I turned around, the upper level of the Lord’s Castle was already dusty in the wind, revealing its miserable appearance.

The bedroom where the great lord resides…

It’s gone.

I felt as if several stars were popping out before my eyes.

Cilia Paris… Gear nose… You are urging my name…

I slowly walked towards the collapsed remains of Yeongju Castle.

Starting from the fingertips, it slowly turned into a dragon’s, and the sleeves were torn apart.

At that time, something caught in front of his feet.

It was a broken wyvern egg.

What came out of the inside was a rotten yolk mixed with green and black.

He’s already dead without even seeing the light of day…

“My lord…”

Keita appeared, covered in dust and coughing.

“My lord… You’re safe… What about the chamberlain?”

“I took refuge outside with Wolfert. You too, follow me. If you use magic, you will be able to find it.”

“I understand… Come on, my lord…”

“No. I have work to do.”

Keita shook her head and grabbed my scaly wrist.

“Don’t… Don’t fight, my lord. Just run away. Don’t you understand?”

I looked down at Keita quietly.

“That dragon has come for revenge. But he can never defeat the lord alone. He will definitely bring in other dragons. Then, even the lord cannot guarantee. So just… Run away.”

Keita said with desperate eyes.

“Open the portal and go to the other side of the continent. With just the four of us, chamberlain, guard captain, lord, and me, we can start over from anywhere.”

“The great lord has passed away. Even if I run away, I can’t leave the cilia flies intact.”

Keita pulled his wrist harder.

“Great lord… It’s sad, but think of something else, lord. Think of Erhina…!”

“Liana will be safe.”

“That’s not it! My lord! Do you really think that Ciliapari couldn’t forget you and came back?!”

As I looked down at Keita in silence, she shouted.

“Why did he come back after just nine months? Cilia Paris is not a lord…”

“Ergaduk.”

A shadow flickered beyond the slowly floating dust.

He moved forward, pulling Keita behind his back.

“Cilia Paris.”

A naked cilia fly with scales sprouting here and there appeared with a bright smile.

“How does it feel to have your dream of nine months shattered?”
