Two years after the Battle of the Montero Coast.

Devensel, Golden Oak Avenue.

In this neighborhood, which had been temporarily inhabited by David's family for more than ten years, and was ignited by a dragon's breath before he left, the elves, out of some taboo, simply bulldozed the ruins completely and built a square to remember this shame.

After the defeat on the shores of Montero, a group of people mainly from the families of the victims and the elven merchants whose interests were damaged by the increasing popularity of the Blue Dragon Pirates began to use this place as the center of their activities, repeatedly launched sit-in protests, and openly preached the 'dragon threat theory'.

They hope to draw more elves' attention to this terrible threat from the Old World.

Only by making more elves, especially elven nobles, aware of this and continuing to put pressure on Her Majesty, can we have a chance to relaunch the battle of revenge against the dragon.

"A dead dragon is a good dragon!!"

"Yay!!"

Walking down the street with a bag of bread in her arms, listening to the inexplicable frenzy of the crowd as the bard-turned-aristocratic politician on the stage preached so hard, Elia, who was the Chosen One of the Moons and was once known as the Singer of the Stars, shook her head with pity.

'Stupid. ’

If it is really a full-scale war with the dragon, at this moment, these ordinary elves who only know how to wave their flags and shout with the flow of people on the street are only worthy of being reduced to ashes under the dragon's breath, and they are not even cannon fodder for filling in the line.

As soon as he thought of this, the hideous figure of the red dragon resurfaced in his mind, and his head immediately became in severe pain.

A series of fragments were blurry, and the images that had been in dreams and trance for the past two years seemed to burst out of her brain, making Alia cover her head and groan.

"Ahh

"Arya, you're sick again?" Elizabeth, who was beside her, couldn't help but quickly hug her and asked with concern.

This is the old problem of my friend.

Ever since she was rescued from the dragon's clutches during the Battle of Montero Shores two years ago, Aria has had frequent flare-ups of recurrent and stubborn headaches.

Especially when you hear about 'dragon', 'red dragon', and even the name that has become taboo among the elves, the new star of the red lotus, Davyyutos.

'Davyyutos. As soon as she remembered the name, Elizabeth sighed a little inexplicably.

I think that at the beginning, because my mother Milli had a very good personal relationship with the silver dragon Artilisia, I was once solemnly introduced by my mother to the guy who was still disguised as the silver dragon 'Saphistoin' at that time.

If it weren't for the fact that David was too arrogant and rude at that time, he would have broken her heart, and he might even become the other party's wife

And the thought of the red dragon David, Elizabeth's heart felt inexplicably sad and throbbing.

She is different from all elves, and for David, she has more complex senses.

She can be said to be a poor elf whose fate was directly rewritten because of that red dragon.

If it weren't for David, her mother would not have been jealous of the royal court, so that as a daughter, she was sent to Devensel as a hostage, and since then she has become a caged bird.

But if it weren't for David, his mother would probably have died at that royal banquet.

It is precisely because of these that Elizabeth has known since she was a child that David Yutos is not as pure evil as the elves now advertise.

At least Davy was a veritable alchemical genius disguised as the silver dragon 'Saphistoin', erudite, wise, and beloved by his mother, and even saved her hometown of Theorus during the barbarian invasion.

After returning to the Old World, he also formed the Red Scale Caravan to re-divide the sea power, and even created a world-famous phenomenal miracle like Montero City.

Of course, in Elizabeth's eyes, David is also not a good dragon.

Otherwise, her mother Millie would not have been feared and excluded by the royal court nobles.

And she, too, will not stay in Devensel as a poor proton forever.

Eighteen years have passed,

She had almost forgotten the sight of her hometown of Theorus, where the maple leaves were in full bloom.

However, the eighteen years of independent life away from home have not been without harvest for her.

For example, friendship.

To be friends with this young legend, the star singer Elia, if it were in the past, she would never have imagined it.

I remember that when I first met in the royal court, the other party was still the noble and even arrogant Moon God Chosen who stood next to the elven queen Alaskia.

It's just that since he disappeared and was captured on the front line three years ago, and two years ago he was rescued by the elves in the battle of the Montero coast and woke up, as if he had completely changed into an elf.

Become silent, plain, humble, and sometimes even somewhat taciturn.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that two elves with very different statuses can become friends.

And for the huge contrast between Arya and the change, there may be no Elizabeth who has also experienced the upheaval of her life to understand the other party's state of mind better.

She had heard that in order to rescue Elia, the Luna Elector, Devensel had been secretly dispatched by the court Moon Shadow Mage Regiment and the Dark Lyra Squad to destroy them all

The wandering god chose Leopold and died in battle.

And the gods of fate and history and the gods of the forest, the two well-known legends of Valerie and Bradimir, even lost their souls on the spot.

If she had gone through all this, I am afraid that she would have been completely crushed by the huge shadow of self-blame and guilt under the fingers of that thousand people, right?

But fortunately, Alia, as usual, quickly recovered from the stubborn headache, and said with a pale smile:

"I'm fine, I'm sick."

"Why don't I send you back to the royal court?" Elizabeth asked.

"No, I still have a date."

As he spoke, before Elizabeth could show a look of envy, she raised her arm and pointed to the tall elf with long silver hair on the corner of the street, leaning against the wall and holding her arms, who seemed to be waiting impatiently at the moment:

"Well, Sephiroth is already waiting for me, so I can't have dinner with you today."

"Hmph, I'm not rare, you can also take it easy, don't be like last time I can't get out of bed, and I have to call me to go over and pick you up with magic communication." Elizabeth immediately turned her head a little weakly.

Elizabeth's face was flushed by Elizabeth's complaints, but she didn't care about it and retorted back:

"You have time to bury me here, why don't you also find a boyfriend, listen to me, true love, can heal everything, see if I am in a much better state now? Well? ”

When Elizabeth heard this, she felt lonely in her heart.

She's just a hostage to Devensel, in such a situation, she can't even talk about freedom, what qualifications does she have to find true love.

It's just that he didn't want to spoil his friend's interest, so he tried his best to squeeze out a smile and push Arya's backsliding:

"Go, go, hurry up and meet your man privately, don't come to hang my appetite."

Just seeing Alia trotting all the way over, enthusiastically holding the other party's arm and apologizing coquettishly, but the male elf still didn't have a good face, Elizabeth suddenly showed a look of worry and regret.

I don't know if it's because of Arya's choice and it's not worth it, or whatever.

She always has an inexplicable familiarity and throbbing feeling for her boyfriend named Sephiroth.

But no matter what, I can't find the reason.

Even she once thought that she had fallen in love with Alia's boyfriend at first sight, and almost scared her to death.

But after a short period of contact, I was relieved after appreciating the other party's cold and hot treatment of Arya.

This kind of capricious guy will only be blind to him.

It's a pity for Arya.

She really couldn't figure out how Elia, who was born with a noble background and had such a unique set of conditions, fell in love with such a short-tempered and unreasonable wanderer.

I also prefer the deep.

After the two elves disappeared together in a cheap tavern, Elizabeth pursed her lips and muttered:

"Anyway, I can't control this masochist, it's all my own choice."

Turn and return to your dwelling.

The second floor of the Sword and Bauhinia Tavern.

Listening to the crackling and moaning sounds, the passengers on the same floor all looked at each other, and immediately smiled:

The dissolute princess went out again with her wild man. ’

Early in the morning, after a night of stormy ravages, covered with whip marks and paralyzed, Aria finally came back to her senses because of the movement, lying on the bed.

looked at Sephiroth, who had already gotten up and dressed and was about to leave her, opened his mouth, wanting to muster up the courage to open his mouth to keep the other party with him more, but in the end he was silent, looking at the back of the other party leaving, and smiled gloomily.

Because she knows the result.

Sometimes, she even feels that the other person does not love her.

It's just a catharsis on her body.

Otherwise, why would the other party only want to use their own mouth and back.

In fact, she once wanted to have a child with the other party and step into the palace of marriage.

But repeated requests were ruthlessly rejected by the other party.

Sephiroth doesn't seem to want to have a crystal of love with her.

This made Alia very sad for a while.

But for some reason, she felt that she seemed to be inseparable from each other.

It seems that only by immersing herself in this familiar and unfamiliar cathartic situation can she briefly escape the shadow of the battle on the shores of Montero.

Only by being pressed under the tyranny of the other party and feeling the pain of his own body can he repay this sin.

As soon as he thought of this, the countless vague memory fragments in his head rushed again, and his head was splitting.

This made her want to return to Sephiroth's arms even more.

It seems that that is the harbor where I was able to escape from the storm:

"Perhaps, this is the fate I deserve."

While Alia was pitying herself in the guest room, she didn't know that the child of destiny she identified was having a private meeting with another High Elf woman at the port docks.

Even the other party had some pity and sympathy for Arya's plight:

"She's pathetic, like a puppet you've been playing with and ravaging under your claws."

'Sephiroth' smiled with disdain:

"The elves have decided that on the full moon night of the next month, they will meet the representatives of the elven clan from Torrell and other faces in Golden Oak Square, discussing how to cooperate with the arrival of the Killing Star to completely exterminate our dragon. Hopefully, when she carries the will of the moon god and descends on the dragon island with the star of the Slaying King, and leads thousands of troops to raise the butcher's knife against us, you will still be able to maintain this compassion, my Royal Highness Princess Alicia. ”

"After all, is it inevitable that it will come to this point?"

In the face of David's cruel information obtained by personally disguised as a High Elf and undercover in Devinsell.

Alicia, with only a sigh, disappeared into the cold wind.
