About dragons? Evelyn placed her teacup down with a look of surprise.
Leah quietly ca up to refill her cup with hot tea. I nodded: Yes. I want to know about it, whether its a story of historical fact. The more stories you can tell stories about dragons in the North, the better.
Stories for children make up the majority. I have lived here as the Queen for a long ti. While I did not have any practical power, I did have a few things in my grasp. I never received any reports related to dragons. Frankly, there are very little ntions of dragons in the North. Rather, all of the stories derived themselves from a book titled Chronicles of a Dragon Journey. As such, if you want to learn more, you should take a look at Chronicles of a Dragon Journey.
I nodded: I ca to believe that dragons genuinely do exist in the North precisely because I read that book. Thats why I want to find out more. Has only one person seen a dragon in the North?
You actually believe it to be true?
Evelyn looked at with disbelief and touched her chin as though she felt I was excessively stupid. Perhaps she was right. After all, the populace of the North treated stories about dragons as re stories to share with children. No adult believed dragons existed.
I was positive the book wasnt intended to be read to children but a true experience. He wrote the book, because he honestly t dragons. Everybody thought it was a childrens book, as they hadnt experienced what he did. They, therefore, had no ans of understanding him. The absolutely true story was considered a successful fairy tale.
Nobody would believe it if they had not seen a dragon before, right? I asked with a smile. But I have seen a dragon, a true pure-blooded dragon. I have also seen a forr dragon city and their gold coins. If you had seen a dragon, you would know that everything in this book is accurate. If the author fabricated the entire thing, the author would probably be a dragon; else, it would be impossible to have all the facts written so precisely.
Leah touched her head. After a brief mont of thinking, she stated, There really is. Of course, I did not personally see it, but I saw one at a village. That was a long ti ago. I was not a bodyguard yet at the ti. At the ti, I was still being sold around. One ti, I saw the villagers of a village worshipping a dragon statue. Needless to say, I did not know there was a dragon there at the ti. I still am not certain, but since you said that you are certain there are dragons in the North, there may be people there who have co into contact with dragons.
Serious?!! Thrilled, I jumped to my feet, startling Leah.
Evelyn pressed her hand on with a smile: Stay calm. Stay calm. Your Majesty, let Leah finish. Leah must be talking about what happened almost twenty years ago. Nobody is certain what the situation is now. Furthermore, whether or not Leah can recall it is an issue in itself.
Leah nodded: Indeed, I cannot rember too clearly. It has been far too long ago. Moreover, I was being sold as a slave at the ti. As such, I did not have a map for records. I only rember the outer vicinity of the village was a forest with towering trees. The trees were the type that had pointy tops. It was very cold. I think it was halfway up the snowy mountain. There is an enormous valley there. That is all I can rember. I cannot recall the other details too clearly Ah, it is pointless for you to bring out a map, for I have no idea where I was at the ti. Nevertheless, I think that it is further north?
I nodded, and then examined the map I just took out. Leah probably genuinely didnt know where it was; but nonetheless, according to what she said, it should be in the northwest direction. The majority of the population in the North was gathered in the centre and East. There were very few people in the West, as the terrain there was extrely poor. The western area consisted of tall mountain slopes. In saying that, that was where the warm breeze from the North ca from.
When Freya chose the West, she took population control into consideration. The population there was small, so the ecology changes as a result of the ice and snow lting wasnt an issue. The Western side of the North was totally different after Freya implented her strategy. The lted ice and snow, and the operation to destroy the mountains had completely altered the place. Lots of places had been drowned and turned into lakes and marshes. Lots of mountain forests were imrsed in the water. I, consequently, couldnt find the place Leah ntioned on the map.
Leah leaned over and then very quickly leaned back. Disappointed, she said, It is useless, Your Majesty. The West has completely changed. You will not find it on the current map. If you provided with a map of the West prior to the change, I may be able to find so clues. The village might have been drowned by now for all we know.
I nodded. If that was the case, I think it wouldnt be too hard. Freya evacuated everyone in the West when she fixed the river and blew up the mountains back then. Freya wasnt the type whod just drown everybody with complete disregard for their lives. After all, she could be considered a kind child. So, what I needed to find out was where the people had evacuated to. There should be records of them even if they had settled down here. As the population in the West was small, I was confident I could soon find out who ca from the village that was associated with the dragons.
Evelyn inquired, Frankly, I am not too sure I understand what you are trying to do. Do you want to find the dragons to do sothing? I have never seen a live dragon. Is there so aning to you locating dragons?
I had a drink of tea before responding, No. The reality is dragons are a very proud race. Yes, theyre even prouder than Ling Yue Dont tell her I said that The only reason I want to find dragons is to let my mom know that she still has dragon kin out there, thats all.
I see. You will need to conduct so research in that case. I need to kindly remind you to not get your hopes up. If there truly are dragons here, they would have lived here close to a century now, agreed? If only one person has sighted a dragon in so long, it proves that one will never see a dragon if the dragons, themselves, are unwilling to show themselves. Therefore, I think your investigations are likely to be fruitless.
I, at least, want to put my mom at ease. Whether or not I find anything is no big deal. My Dragon Mom is the only person with no relatives among all those around . She is a little too pitiful, do you not agree?
I finished my cup of tea .Then, I extended forth my hand to stop Leah, who was about to refill my cup. I stood up. I had achieved what I visited for; there was no reason for to continue staying with the two. Ling Yue got jealous of her own daughter, so shed be even more jealous if I stayed with the two, wouldnt she?
Evelyn nodded. She stood up to see to the door: Actually, that is not entirely true. I am sure that she does not feel that way. After all, she still has family with her.
Who?
Evelyn laughed. She then answered, You, of course. Do not forget that you are her son and that she is your mother. I am sure she does not feel lonely here. As opposed to helping her find a horde of dragons, how about spending more ti with her? Spending more ti with your family is a lot easier than trying to locate a horde of dragons that only exists in stories, is it not?
I smiled. I, honestly, didnt expect her to say that. Evelyn was right. I nodded: Of course. As her son, I will be sure to spend more ti with her. Its just that I thought Mom would be delighted to know that her own kin were still alive, just as with Ling Yue. It would be lonely to realise youre the only one left of your race.
Uhm, that is true, replied Evelyn, with a nod. I shall wish you good luck, then. I hope you find what you want. However, do not neglect what is right in front of you in the search for what is in the distance. Liu Yue is amazingly adorable. Spend more ti with her; she is always looking forward to your return.
I know. I like her very much, as well. I will spend a lot of ti with her in the future.
Evelyn nodded with a smile, and then I pulled open the door. I had just walked a few steps when a small silhouette ca rushing over and tightly hugged my thigh. Liu Yue had rushed over to hug . In a slightly unhappy tone, she sulked, Daddy, Daddy, play with !! You left without a word today. I was so scared that you had left. I was waiting for you in the horse stables the whole ti. I was afraid you sneaked off. Dont leave Liu Yue without saying a word I was truly so scared
I crouched down and looked at Liu Yues slightly red eyes. I apologetically embraced her. If it was possible, I really wanted to bring her back to the Imperial Palace so that she could always stay with , but Ling Yue didnt want to live together with us, so I couldnt help it. I couldnt snatch her off her mother.
Sorry, sorry, my Liu Yue. Dont be scared; dont be scared. Daddy wont leave without a word. Daddy will do the best Daddy can to be with you, promise. Lets go, Liu Yue. Daddy will take you to the town close by to play around for a while. Consider it Daddys apology!
Yay! Yay!! I want to ride a horse with Daddy! I want to ride that tall and large horse with a horn!
Sothing that greatly surprised soon occurred The forever proud White Deer King, who refused to even spare anybody a look, actually lied down so that Liu Yue could ride her The White Deer King had never lowered her head or bent her legs, yet she lied down before Liu Yue And she allowed Liu Yue to play with her ears!!
Liu Yue was sothing else. She was sothing else
