Duke's Son Wish To Follow The Story Chapter 179 : Life Now 4
The atmosphere was fraught with tension. Soldiers who entered the gate found themselves enveloped in a radiant glow and, in the blink of an eye, arrived at an unfamiliar location. The gate seemed to have transported them to a specific spot in the northern region. However, due to the simultaneous attempt to transport a larger group of people through different gates, coordinating their arrival at the exact same spot proved to be an insurmountable challenge. They had to designate different locations within the northern area. Nevertheless, the resounding sounds of battle, marked by the loud clashes of weapons and the raucous cries of the beasts, left no doubt—they were precisely where they needed to be. As the soldiers took in the chaotic scene, they knew they had arrived in the midst of a fierce battle. The air was thick with the acrid scent of blood and sweat. The ground beneath them trembled from the ongoing clash between the kingdom's forces and the marauding beasts. Despite the in

The war raged on at full intensity. In the northern part, both allies and beasts had taken up positions. In contrast, the southern region had some individuals ready for unforeseen events, although their numbers were limited.The clock indicated that it was still early in the afternoon. Unnoticed by anyone, a few shadows infiltrated the village of Lancha. Initially, everything remained tranquil. These shadows had yet to take any action; they were making their way toward their intended destination.Their target was the largest house in the small town, typically used by the lord during inspections. It was currently vacant, which was precisely what they were after.They entered the premises with utmost stealth, and one of the shadows issued a hushed command."Search for 'it' immediately, no matter what!"All the shadows nodded in agreement before dispersing, scouring the large house for their objective.As they meticulously combed through the rooms, the tension in the air was palpable.

Meanwhile, before the village were set ablaze, in the midst of the war in the North, which already wrapping up victoriously, Luis and Joshua, two individuals who had made some of the most significant contributions to the war effort, found themselves taking a moment of respite in the tent designated for them. They took the opportunity to change into fresh attire and reequip their armor as a precaution.During this interlude, their attention was abruptly drawn to the orb resting on the table. It began to vibrate, prompting Luis to swiftly activate it, all the while wearing a perplexed expression. He inquired, "What's happening?""Is the beast launching another attack?"But contrary to his expectations, a more pressing matter unfolded on the screen."you-young lord, help us!!"The message on the screen sent a shiver down Luis and Joshua's spines. The urgency in the voice was unmistakable. Luis leaned in closer to the orb, his eyes fixed on the image."What's happening? Who is this?" Luis

Luis and Joshua shared a brief yet determined glance, fully aware that the masked figures were using the snake dragon as a means to dissuade them, hoping it would put a stop to their pursuit. However, they were resolute in their commitment to their mission and couldn't allow such an obstacle to deter them. As they deliberated on whether to confront the creature, one of the masked individuals took action.They hurled something at the dragon's eyes. The dragon, feeling a slight irritation in its eyes, gradually opened them. Its gaze was fixed in the direction of Luis and Joshua, and they were the first beings it saw.Consequently, the dragon's expression transformed into a scowl. It looked at the two of them and emitted a low roar, as if questioning their presence while someone was asleep.The situation was charged with tension due to the confrontation, but the masked figure who initiated the action seized the moment to escape."You—!"Luis and Joshua wanted to chase after the person, b
Duke's Son Wish To Follow The Story Chapter 183 : New Life 8
Clutching the branch beneath him, Leon's realization finally dawned. Tania's defeat in the novel wasn't solely due to Joshua's strength; it was also influenced by the dragon's unfavorable condition at that time."That's the crux of it," he muttered to himself.When Leon had read the novel, there was no further elaboration on the dragon's state. The author simply narrated the fight, and in that climactic battle, Tania met her demise. End of story.However, at this moment, Leon finally grasped the underlying truth.'Tania was suffering during that time.'Her pain had rendered her unable to harness her full power, which ultimately led to her defeat.However, at this juncture, all of that was inconsequential. Joshua remained unaware of Tania's condition, his mind consumed solely by thoughts of vengeance.Even as Leon and Tania engaged in their silent mental conversation, and the dragon momentarily seemed complacent, Joshua exploited the gap in her defenses and launched an unrelenting atta

Upon receiving such a revelation, Leon's eyes widened, rendering him utterly speechless. He was so taken aback by the disclosure that he couldn't muster any further questions.Despite his initial shock, Tania pressed on, her expression grave. "Fronti's... they're not your family," she said, her tone serious. "Your moth-"Before she could finish her words, Leon, for the first time, found his voice. "No," he declared, his expression marked by a deep frown. "They are my family." His voice resonated with unwavering resolve. "At least, for Leon, no one can replace that."Tania's words faltered for a moment, and she was momentarily silenced. She blinked her eyes and nodded."Yes, they are... and your other parents... aren't they real too?"Leon, in response to the question, reluctantly gave a nod. "You're correct," he acknowledged. His mind was entangled in a web of complexity, and he clenched his hand into a tight fist, despite maintaining a stoic expression.Tania believed she understood

Tania couldn't shake the feeling that Leon was holding something back, something more profound than he had already revealed. Her heart was in turmoil, and she desperately wanted to understand the reasons behind his sudden change in perspective. However, Leon didn't offer her an opportunity to inquire further in that moment.Upon their arrival at Tania's nest, Leon carefully positioned her on the soft terrain, taking great care not to disturb her injuries. The nest was nestled high in the mountains, a hidden sanctuary where the dragon could rest and recover. Tania, with a concerned look, watched as Leon knelt beside her, his expression still bearing that unreadable mask."Dan, please," Tania implored, finally summoning the courage to question, her voice bearing a blend of inquisitiveness and frustration. "You can't just drop a bombshell like that and then leave me hanging. Why did you only say it now?"Leon sighed and stared at her with a deep, contemplative gaze. He then shook his hea

Leon continued to cradle Manja in his arms, his expression remaining devoid of emotion. He fixed his gaze on the lifeless hen and observed a moment of silence, as if paying his respects to her. It was a mournful farewell to his loyal and loving companion, who had shared his life for so long. The two masked individuals, still immobilized by the strange aura, were unable to make any movements and found themselves trapped in a surreal and terrifying situation. Yet, this didn't mean they couldn't make any noise either. "Ugh! Y-you—how dare—" However, before the masked man could finish his sentences, Leon's cold voice pierced their ears, silencing them. "Silence! Can't you see I'm mourning here?" Leon's intense glare and the thickening aura surrounding him forced the two masked individuals to kneel on the ground. Their bodies trembled uncontrollably, and they were unable to speak. 'What is with this guy?' 'I can't speak!!' After a moment, Leon shifted his attention back to Manja. He

The pair fell into a brief silence upon hearing Leon's words.Indeed, their visit here wasn't solely for this investigation.As narrated in the novel, at this point, the duo should have been progressing on their journey somewhere in the eastern lands. Upon discovering clues regarding the dragon's presence there, they set out to investigate.Yet, somehow, they find themselves here instead.This unforeseen circumstance likely stems from the butterfly effect of Leon's attendance at the banquet, causing the issue to escalate to a point where they couldn't ignore it.It's not that Leon failed to grasp their perspective; rather,'They ought not to divert their attention this way. They should continue their journey. Otherwise, the narrative would veer off course.'That's why Leon gently reminds them, despite the risk of raising suspicion."...It's true that we had other matters to attend to, but... how did you become aware of that, Your Majesty? I don't recall mentioning it, do you, Josh?""

Joshua and Luis exchanged glances. Having heard the recounted story, they now identified the culprit responsible for everything that had occurred. However, this revelation didn't automatically translate into complete trust in the witch's narrative, even considering her close association with the duchess and duke. They were well aware of the witches' notorious reputation. Furthermore, recognizing that only one side of the story didn't guarantee authenticity, Joshua stated, "We need to delve deeper into our investigation if we want to find the truth."Luis agreed, saying, "I agree. For now, let's return to your majesty and hear his side of the story before drawing any more conclusions." Subsequently, they expressed their gratitude and took their leave.Julia and the witches were once again left alone in the cabin. The place then lapsed into silence for a moment. Contemplating something, Julia finally made up her mind and spoke, "Ellen... could you assist me with something?""Me?"******

Meanwhile, in another cabin."I apologize, Juli. I couldn't arrange a better place for you in advance.""Hey, what are you saying? Don't act like I'm a stranger. We're friends.""Hahaha, right, we're friends. But still, you must be shocked to see me like this.""...I'm more surprised to see you suddenly change like that. Did the curse break?"Julia inquired, a bit curious after witnessing Ellen, the witch, transform her appearance into her past beautiful self right before her eyes."Ah, that... it's thanks to Daniel.""Hmm? Why thanks to him?""Well, I don't know yet, but you know about my weaknesses, right?""Your core, yes, I know. So?""I don't know why, but whenever that guy touches me or my core, my appearance reverts back to the old me. It's quite a miracle, though I still don't know why.""..."Julia fell into contemplation, absorbing her friend's words as her mind worked to pinpoint the truth. She spoke cautiously,"Ellen, who cursed you? My husband won't tell me much. Did you
Chapter 224 : Mother 3
The dragon known to Leon as Tania had a past when she was called Tania Ermir. This was the name she bore before marrying her late husband, Daniel Arwin. As an egg, she was discovered by the royalty of the Cloud's Kingdom, who took care of her since her mother passed away shortly after laying the egg. Despite their care, Tania had to fend for herself during the crucial moments of her egg's survival. After centuries in her egg form, Tania emerged as a beautiful snake dragon. The Cloud's Kingdom royalty treated her as their own, giving her the name Tania and adopting their family name, Ermir. However, driven by adult dragon instincts, Tania eventually left the kingdom to journey on her own, only to return and find her hometown no longer existing. 'She had a challenging journey,' Leon thought before continuing, "in any case, now you comprehend the ties I have to that forest and the clouds, and you've discovered my identity. Thus, that concludes the first question, doesn't it?" Luis no

Leon's eyes briefly swept across the three figures, offering them a slight bow before returning his attention to Ellen. He felt no compulsion to extend excessive greetings to them. His focus shifted, driven by a more pressing matter."Anyway, how did this happen?" His question aimed to unravel the current situation before him. Ellen had been in this condition for an extended period, making her sudden ability to contact her friends a dubious development.The notion of her meeting his mother seemed implausible, given the duchess's infrequent outings. As for forming acquaintanceship with the boys, especially Joshua, it appeared highly unlikely. Joshua, with his temperament, would unquestionably eliminate her, just as he had done to Tania. After all, the witch was notorious for her atrocities.And what about the duke, Carl? Carl possessed the ability to travel great distances, using methods unknown to Leon. If he intended to return home without utilizing his unique abilities, Leon was con

"Anyway, Gray... I'll be departing from this place tomorrow."CrackThe glass in Gray's hand cracked the moment Leon finished his sentence. Gray swiftly shifted his attention to Leon, his other hand still gripping a jug of water, as he inquired, "I will follow you, right? Your Majesty?""Hmm?" Leon took a bite of the bread he had soaked in mushroom soup."I will be leaving alone, though," he casually stated."What!? Then... then, what about me?""You'll stay here.""But why? Your Majesty... is there something you don't like about me? I'll fix it—""Fix your way of calling me first," Leon muttered sternly, though his demeanor remained casual."Alright... Milord. I will call you that... is that okay?""Hmm, much better. Even so, you won't follow me.""What? Why?"Gray's question made him look like an abandoned puppy, but Leon wasn't moved in the slightest."You still have things to do here for me. So, stay. I will go home alone."In the end, Gray had to give up."...Haa, I will do as yo
Chapter 221 : Gray 2
Anyway, that's what transpired. However, when it came to the conversation between Daniel and the cloud people, Gray remained unaware. He was preoccupied being given a tour by the Cloud's inhabitants.Upon leaving the location, Daniel handed him a piece of canvas and explained that he had used it to secure their entry to the palace.Confusion clouded Gray's mind about how it happened. Nevertheless, witnessing Daniel's familiarity with the cloud people and hearing them address him as "Milord," Gray had no doubt about the truth of his current master's words.Furthermore,'Even though he said he would just pretend to be the royalty of the Cloud's Kingdom... I'm pretty sure that this man— he was indeed the king of these people!'There was a misunderstanding in Gray's mind that Daniel was, in fact, a royal figure.From that moment onward, the way Gray treated Leon changed. Instead of addressing him as sir or milord, he now referred to him as his majesty, fitting of his lord's status. Althou
Chapter 220 : Canvas
Despite Gray's incredulity at what he was witnessing, both he and Leon found themselves on the cloud. People who appeared engrossed in their own activities halted their work and approached the duo, forming a crowd. Leading them was an elderly man who greeted Daniel as if they were familiar. "Milord, we have come as you called. Is there something the matter?" "Hey Anan, sorry to call you suddenly, but... I just wanted to ask you something. Can we talk for a moment?" "Sure. But that man..." "Ah, he's my servant. I'll leave him in the care of others for a moment. Can you guys show him around, perhaps?" "Sure, it's my joy to do so!" "We will do it for you, milord!" "Yeah, young man, please follow us!" While Gray was being led around by the cloud's inhabitants, Leon ventured to a secluded spot with Anan. "By the way, Anan... I don't recall you ever calling me 'milord' before. Why now?" "...That's right. At first, we didn't think we could use that title, as it's reserved for our ma

"Arghhh* RAN!!! Please help us!! De-demon!! A child watches as his village burns down. All around him, the air is filled with screams from the villagers. His hands clench tightly onto the body of his mother, who carries him while running. His father was left behind to protect them both. Although at first, his mother hesitated, for him, she ran. How long has it been? He didn't know. However, the only time his mother stops is when they no longer see the village in their sight. His mother leans down behind a tree, still tightly hugging him and patting him, telling him everything will be fine, that she will protect him. "Mother..." The small child utters those words unconsciously, trying to look up to see his mother's face. Thud* Suddenly, at that moment, his ears hear the sound of something falling near him. His eyes stop turning at his mother; instead, his head instinctively turns to look at what had fallen. 'What is that?' His head questions, looking at an unknown object l
