Everyone couldn’t talk to me for a while.
The majority looked doubtful whether they could really believe me.
“Yerine, have you met her before?”
Erica still asked with a suspicious look.
“Yes, she helped me before.”
“Before?”
Rachel and Astra released the magic and asked back.
The white woman nodded with a calm smile without a word.
I could see the left eye wrapped gently behind the white veil.
Well, she didn’t help me. She helped Yerine.
But I could be sure that she didn’t mean to hurt us.
When asked why I couldn’t answer correctly.
But the voice I heard earlier was definitely the same as what I heard in my dream.
The voice of the person who looked the same as the one who said she would help my mother and me.
“I understand the confusion. But it’s okay to be relieved.”
The woman said, blinking her white eyelashes as if snowflakes had fallen.
“Those who chase you can’t come all the way here.”
“What do you mean he can’t come all the way here?”
Eugene grabbed wrinkles in the forehead and shouted.
He was always ready to shoot magic.
However, the flash did not rise from his fingertips.
For now, there was no intention of attacking.
“Normal people can’t get in here. It’s a place that doesn’t exist in the human world.”
The woman’s voice echoed softly.
After hearing her words, Cassius looked at me with an incredible face and asked.
“Yerine, how the hell did you get here?”
“Uh…… I actually didn’t know this place was like that.”
The woman who listened to our conversation quietly smiled and opened her mouth.
“It would be better to go inside and talk.”
She looked back and talked with her head up.
Her white hair fluttered in the gentle breeze.
Despite the urgent situation where I was in a place I didn’t even know where I was, I looked at her beautiful appearance.
As soon as I bumped into her red eyes, I was wide awake.
“We don’t have much time, but we have that much time to spare. Come with me, everyone.”
A peaceful voice, neither high nor low, rang out.
***
Where the woman took us, there were seven small chairs made by cutting off the base of the tree.
Sitting in order on the chair while hesitating, we waited for the woman to open her mouth.
Still unconscious, Rayl leaned against a wooden post.
The woman glanced at him and opened her mouth.
“Maybe he’ll be conscious in a little while. Let’s leave him like that for a while.”
The woman said in a sublime voice with her hands in front of her.
“There seems to be a lot of questions I’d like to ask him, but I think we’ll just have to wait a little longer.”
Astra was surprised at her words and brought it up.
“No, can you tell that?”
The woman answered Astra with a big smile.
“I know quite a bit about the human world. I’m partly involved in governing the logic of the world.”
My hand went to my left eye without realizing it.
‘There’s a reason why these eyes are special.’
It wasn’t anything else, it was the eyes of a dragon.
“Well, by the way….”
Cassius hesitated and opened his mouth.
The woman looked at him, shining red eyes with her pupils torn vertically.
At first glance, she looked as heterogeneous and aggressive as a snake’s eye, but anyone who looked closely at her could immediately see that she had no intention of attacking the other person.
“I understand that Dragons are usually hostile to humans, but am I mistaken?”
“The majority of dragons do. You know it right.”
She said, blinking her red eyes like blood.
“But some dragons don’t.”
Then she turned her eyes to me and continued.
“Of course, there were a lot of people who knew that, so every time I went down to the human world, I had a hard time.”
Somehow I felt as if her eyes were constantly on me.
I didn’t know why.
“So, you know what’s going on in the human world? Why did we run away here?”
The woman nodded at Eugene’s question.
“I know everything.”
She said with a small sigh.
Most of the time I saw her smiling calmly.
Except in my last dream when she warned about what was to come, her expression remained largely unchanged.
It was the first time I saw her sigh.
“His actions will soon disrupt the order of the whole world. It’s not enough to steal other people’s mana that isn’t his, and he even kills people with that power.”
It was an accurate explanation.
“Well, then, are you going to go down to the human world and solve the problem yourself?”
Erica asked her carefully.
The woman hesitated at her words.
“That’s……..”
It was just then.
I heard a groan and a sign of a human being.
Everyone’s head, except for the woman, turned to the same side at the same time.
Sure enough, the drooping green hair was moving little by little.
“Ugh…”
Along with the groans, the green eyes resembling the emerald slowly revealed.
“Where am I…….”
As soon as Rayl opened his mouth, Eugene pointed to him with the tip of his chin.
“Yerine, is that enough chain?”
“Maybe. I’ve put some resistance on him, so he can’t use magic.”
A dragon was sitting next to him that seemed very strong, but he was still nervous.
However, the actions had taken as much action as they could.
“I think it’s gonna be okay. Looking at it now, I think we can control Rayl’s mana by Yerine’s chain.”
As soon as Cassius finished, Rayl, who had fully come to his senses, began to look around with a puzzled look.
“You, you, how…….”
Soon he found a chain wrapped around his body and began to struggle.
“No use, Rayl.”
Looking at him like that, Cassius muttered in a low voice.
“Cassius, do you see Rayl mana? Did it increase?”
Cassius stared at him still, frowned and replied.
“It’s definitely increased. But it doesn’t matter because it’s not strong enough for Yerine.”
Then he looked at the Rayls with cold eyes and asked.
“You’ve got other people’s mana from him, haven’t you?”
At Cassius’s words, Rayl said with a despondent smile.
“I got it. It was almost half-forced.”
Then he looked around us with his half-open drowsy green eyes.
“Guys, where are we?”
“You don’t have to know. Just know it’s a place where the prince’s company will never come after.”
Rayl smiled helplessly at Eugene’s reply.
“That’s rather good.”
Between the dried blood and the green hair ruined by dust, his eyes that seemed to have been embedded with emeralds were dimly lit.
“Yes, if you’re free to tie me up, it means this is a safe place.”
Rayl, who stopped talking for a while, moistening his dry lips with saliva, then added.
“For the time being.”
“It’s no use threatening.”
Erica frowned and replied in a stiff voice.
“It’s not a threat. There will be very little that the prince in his present state cannot do.”
Rayl’s voice was very subdued.
“He’s killed so many people that you can’t imagine, and he’s absorbed all their mana.”
“That’s enough. I already know that. Even if you don’t tell me, I know it so well that it’s boring.”
I held my eyes on Rayl with my right hand on my forehead.
“That’s not what I want to know.”
“Then what do you want to know, Yerine?”
I was a little annoyed.
So I answered back with a hard voice without a buzzer.
I turned my eyes on him like a red flame.
“You haven’t answered my question yet.”
Perhaps slightly surprised, Rayl’s eyes grew for a while and returned to their original size.
“That’s right, I asked you earlier.”
I said, sweeping my hair with my hands.
“How did that happen?”
Rayl tried to say something, but he shut up in the middle.
He opened his mouth to speak out a few times, but his voice did not come out.
I feel bitter in the words that came out after several attempts and a few minutes of thought.
“Yerine, you don’t have to look for a reason. I’m just a bad guy, a bad guy who betrayed you.”
He continued, rolling his green eyes.
“You don’t have to understand why I did that.”
“Just tell me. I’m going to get dizzy because I’m curious.”
I breathed a small sigh and urged him.
Nevertheless, Rayls did not open his mouth easily.
“Rayl Diamond.”
Astra’s voice came from behind.
Her face was more determined than ever.
But her expression was far from threatening or hostile.
“There’s one thing you’re mistaken about.”
Rayl slowly raised their heads to her voice.
“We won’t forgive you just because you explain why you became the traitor.”
There was no shaking in her eyes that looked like a blue sky.
“But because of your personality, I don’t think you would have approached the prince for mana, and I’m asking because I think there must have been some other reason.”
After hearing Astra’s words, I nodded.
I didn’t know Rayl as long as Astra did, but I knew he wouldn’t have liked to gather mana even by hurting others.
Although he could deceive his nature, Rayl was too transparent a human being to deceive his self.
“I’m just upset that you don’t tell me why. Don’t get me wrong.”
Still listening to her story, Rayl nodded slowly.
“Yeah. I don’t think that’s a problem.”
His look on his face, saying that, seemed like a man who let go of everything.
“I did it because of my brothers.”
A calm voice came out between the dry and cracked lips.
“He took all my brothers.”
In an instant, the surrounding air sank heavily.
