C 76
"Lucilion must have been stuck by your side at first because he needed time to replenish your sacred power."
"...What on earth did he do?"
"Erno Etham was looking for information about rare dragons based on ancient texts."
My head hung low. I involuntarily swallowed my breath as my eyes felt warm.
"Oh, the Etham family's lord invaded the temple, and Lucilion must have brought all the sacred objects from the temple."
As I clenched my fists, Sharnae and Lillian held my hands, one on each side.
I felt like crying a little.
"So, you'll grow soon."
Enosh said with crossed arms, still arrogant.
"You're just a little bun, so don't get too down. The bun will puff up someday and get bigger."
I chuckled awkwardly at Enosh's blunt words.
"Oh, now that I think about it, there was a time when Duke Collin and Erno Etham had a big fight."
"A fight...?"
"Yes, about adoption rights."
Enosh smiled as I widened my eyes.
"Are you curious?"
"Yes."
"If you're curious..."
Enosh laughed mischievously. I swallowed, fearful of what I would hear.
"Let's have a snack together next time."
"...Oh?"
"I say that because you might not know, but there are not just one or two people in line to see your face right now."
When I made a puzzled face, Enosh smiled and opened his mouth as if he really hadn't realized it.
"I tried to hide it as much as possible, but the fact that you're a dragon must have leaked out somewhere."
