#41 Other circumstances: A Villains Circumstance
My steps were light, and I felt extrely good.
How could I tornt Rea?
It had been a long ti since I felt this joyful, as her highness had given
permission to punish Rea once. I had to have at least this entertainnt in my bleak life here, and I knew her highness would be looking forward to this.
This was why I had been surprised to see no guards or maids in the corridor or her room. I had heard she had scolded her people hard after I had deceived them, so there should have been people here. Did people make the sa mistakes?
I knocked, but there was no response.
Is this a trap?
It may be possible, but I chose to go in. While I may be beheaded for going into a nobles room, her highness would not kill , at least.
I will enter.
The room was unnaturally dark, even if it was night. I heard a sudden moan.
Your highness?
I was surprised for a mont but recognized her highnesss voice.
Ast?
Her highness clenched her teeth.
Why are you soangry?
I replied in my usual style, as I could not show I had been surprised.
Ast?
Your highness?
She spoke to
like she had received an awakening.
Lets go.
Where?

When the world was created, it is said that the two Gods who had done so had left for another world after leaving the world to other gods. However, Evil had appeared from sowhere as a deity, and the Goddess of Benevolence and Devotion sacrificed herself to stop it.
Everyone would know this, but the truth was that Evil could not be fully stopped. Each of the seven fragnts had indwelled in the Evil God, in humans, and one had gone in dragons.
Dragons knew evil but had not succumbed to it for a long ti. However, they had beco complacent, which was literally fatal, as they began to die for unknown reasons.
A human had beco a Demon King to destroy everything, and another race beca self-destructive.
However, dragons died one by one, even though they were known for their longevity. As each dragon was strong, there were only a few of them. This made the deaths catastrophic.
Dragons tried to find a way to stop this and learned that one dragon died every hundred years due to the fragnt of evil.
Humans would have let this go, but dragons, who live tens of thousands of years, give birth once or twice during their life.
Their race could beco extinct if things continued like this. Even though they communicated with Gods and studied other fragnts, they could not find a way.
One sage had saved them.
If this curse is sent by blood, shouldnt you increase the number in any way possible?
The dragon who had asked a human in desperation got that answer. That ant making half-bloods, which was unthinkable. However, they were near extinction. Dragons transford themselves into humans and intervened in various races to spread their seed. That was why dragons had co out, and after several attempts, dragons managed to create their first half-blood child.
Dragons were expectant, and the fragnt activated on the half-bloods. That made dragons create even more perfect sacrifices.
The result was this Karuan Empire, which had been built by dragons. They had promised the Empire limitless support if the humans died for them and had done their part.
That contract is still valid today.
That ans
Father had told
that when I was very young.
Yes, youre this generations sacrifice.
Is that so?
I had not felt anything special at that ti, but only noticed the fact that I was the one chosen.
The evil fragnt chooses the one closest to the dragon blood.
He told
that dragons found a way to make us their sacrificial lambs and that the one closest to the dragon would beco the next sacrifice. There was a reward.
The dragons help us indirectly when our Empire is in a crisis. The chosen sacrifice is protected by the dragons and can make a single with to the dragons.
While Father did not ntion it, I had also received the benefits of dragon blood. I was only five, but I could understand everything Father said with a calm mind. This was made only possible with the dragon blood inside .
Are you not scared.
Im rather
It was rather astounding. When I said my world had turned gray, Father, whose face I saw rarely, ca up to . He then suddenly told
this legend and that I would die.
surprised.
That would be the right word.
Is that so
Father looked down at
with a complicated gaze and changed my room and those who cared for .
The room was where the sacrifices had resided and were filled with magic and spells to mitigate the damage when the evil fragnt was awakened.
Then, they found
a person who knew everything and would protect
with her life.
I am Rea Lil Areis.
The Marquis Areis?
Yes, your highness.
Even if her mories were suppressed by Gears Roll, I did not expect her to be my guard.
Youre strong.
My dragon blood told
Rea was strong with a single stroke of her sword. As expected, Rea beca a swordmaster a few years later. And then, after four years of seeing the world in gray colors, I t Ast. While my head hurt, I rembered a few good things.
What is this
Was this a flashback as the world grew dark from the evil fragnt awakening inside ?
I cannot believe this
I felt my life being eaten away and shadows looking down at . I could see that they were those who had the fragnt before .
Have you co to take
away?
I could see that dragons had also co, which was sothing unexpected. I could feel my body grow lax, and I realized that I did not have many regrets.
Your highness?
I saw sothing spring out from the dark.
Ast?
Was this a dream? If it was, it would be a nightmare.
