Became a Hatchling of the Grand Duke of the North

1 – Became a hatchling of the Grand Duke of the North

The land of the frozen north.

It’s snowing white, and there is an intense blizzard that blows all year round.

The northern lords who rule the land.

It is handed down from generation to generation to be chosen by the owner of winter.

* * * *

“Ha ha, ha ha.”

A group of people were climbing a snowy mountain.

Breathing heavily.

Garcion, the head of the Grand Duke’s family, who climbed the mountain in the lead, asked the girl with graceful beauty who silently followed him.

“Lu, Miss Lucia. Is this right?”

“…”

At that, Lucia, a beautiful girl with snow-white hair who was called a lady, stopped in her place for a moment.

But that’s only for a while.

Soon, her eyes began to glow with a blue glow.

Lucia looked around her.

Goooooh!

In this white snowstorm where you can’t see what’s ahead.

She stretched out her hand and pointed in one direction, as if she sensed something in her.

“…Over there.”

At that sound, Garcion shouted with all his might at the group of people following him.

“Hey! Did you all hear? The lady has found the direction where the lair is! Clap, clap, clap, move!”

“Okay, Mr. Butler!”

Garcion.

He followed Lucia, who started walking in front of her.

As if he knew which direction to go.

Following Lucia, who exudes a very mysterious atmosphere.

He gripped the sword that was hanging from his waist tightly so that he could pull it out at any time.

‘I should do my part too.’

He was once a talented man who also held the position of knight commander in the capital of the empire.

Although he has retired due to his age and has taken on the role of the head of the house, that experience and ability did not go anywhere.

‘Lady Lucia must be protected with my own hands.’

How much further did he follow Lucia’s guidance?

Go oh oh-.

After going through a rough snowstorm, they finally arrived in front of a huge cave.

That cave was infinitely huge.

With a really ridiculously huge entrance.

It was so wide that dozens of people could come and go without any problems.

Suddenly, Garcion looked at Lucia with white hair like snow standing next to him.

Come to think of it, it was really bizarre.

Because of the snow that blows here all year round.

It was a northern land filled with the darkness of the midnight sun.

How did she find this huge cave hidden in the snow in this undistinguished blizzard?

The more I thought about it, the more questionable it was.

‘As expected, she’s a northern saintess that has been passed down since ancient times.’

But while I was thinking about that.

“Let’s go.”

Lucia, who was silently staring at the front of her cave, took the lead with that brief comment.

“Ah, lady!”

Because it was impossible to send her alone like that.

Garcion, who served as her escort and was also the head of the house, hurriedly followed her.

It was frighteningly quiet inside the cave.

Except for the coldness of the ice and the icicles on the wall, this place was truly a space of silence itself.

For a while, they moved as quietly as rats.

Kik-. Kik-.

The only sound that could be heard was the sound of carts being pushed by villagers behind.

Loaded with a large amount of raw meat, this heavy wagon made an unpleasant grinding sound all the time as the wheels turned.

Some frightened, territories.

While pushing the items on the cart with all his might, he was thinking about something else in his head.

In the end, one person who couldn’t hold on asked the colleague next to him cautiously.

“Ooh, aren’t we going to die like this…?”

“Yeah, maybe…”

“Eh, if this isn’t the place we were looking for, and it’s the cave of monsters like trolls and ogres, then we really aren’t dead.”

That made sense.

In fact, in this extremely cold, frozen land of the north, these caves were used primarily as shelters for monsters.

In addition, the size of this cave was unusual.

To the extent that a huge ‘something’, not a human being, could come and go.

Anyway, there was a possibility that something could exist inside.

“Ugh!”

And Garcion, who quickly caught the sound from behind.

I scolded them with a ferocious shout.

“Such disrespectful words when the lady is here!”

“Sorry, sorry!”

It was then.

Jerbug.

As she led the way through this huge aisle, she suddenly stopped her steps.

“…I’m done.”

But everyone who heard the sound had a dumbfounded expression.

Even the head of the house, Garcion, was curious and asked.

“Hey, is this right?”

“Ha, but…”

“This is just a wall with nothing in it, right?”

The end of the cave was just an empty wall.

A wall blocked by ice formed like pure white crystals.

But Lucia.

Sure.

As if to refute that statement.

Slowly, she raised her hand and placed it against the wall.

Now then.

Chalrang-.

As if a stone thrown on the surface of the water would create ripples, the ice wall swayed and swayed.

In an instant, it started to disappear like a lie.

“Uh, uh uh uh?”

“What, what?”

The bewildered people hesitantly retreated.

“Walls… Are disappearing?”

And beyond the disappearing wall.

[Kururu-.]

Surprisingly, shed a low cry.

There was a ‘huge being’ glaring at them.

“Uh, ahhhhh-…”

Puff!

The people of Yeongji collapsed on the spot, unable to bear the fear any longer.

Some even urinated on the spot.

That would be too-.

What is right in front of them is none other than-.

“D-Dragon…!”

Because this is the true master of the frozen northern land, the White Dragon.

[Kurrurerreu-.]

The creature was so large that it filled the entire space of this huge cave.

Glared at them with a low growl, as if threatening.

When the white dragon with glass-like white transparent scales finally turned its gaze to the girl who silently looked up at her, Lucia.

[…]

The white dragon’s growl stopped.

Koogu Palace-.

That being, it raised its huge torso with its wings folded.

As if to check it closer, he thrust her head in and caught her girl, Lucia, in his eyes.

[…]

“…”

The figure of a girl was reflected in the pupils of a dragon as large as a human.

The girl and the dragon.

The two stared at each other from a place close enough that the sound of each other’s breathing could reach.

Soon, the dragon is-.

I quietly closed my eyes.

With that unspoken permission, Lucia carefully placed her hand near the white dragon, and everyone watched.

“Oh, oh oh oh…”

“Lady Lucia…”

Lucia, like the story of this northern land, she was stroking the dragon with her hand on it.

But even in the midst of this, Chief Deacon Garcion did not forget what he had to do.

He hurriedly shouted at those who blankly watched the exchange between the dragon and Lucia from behind.

“Everyone, don’t be idly by, hurry up and unpack the cart! Hurry!”

“Oh, I see!”

They hurriedly stood up at his command.

I unwrapped the cart that was covered in thick cloth.

Flutter!

Then, inside, thick raw meat was revealed.

Flash.

The dragon, feeling Lucia’s touch with her eyes closed, turned her attention to the exposed raw meat.

* * * *

An hour later.

“Ha ha. Ha.”

“Whoah, Seo, I never thought I would see a dragon with my own eyes and come back to life.”

The territories who entered the dragon’s lair (nest) were busy talking to each other while trembling in a ruckus.

Shouted a shaggy, hairy boy with goosebumps that didn’t match his rugged face.

“I was really surprised! How did they empty the cart of only the meat! Even with that huge body, not a single claw mark was left on the cart!”

As he said.

All the meat that had been piled up to fill the cart had been emptied.

It was all caused by the dragon they had just encountered.

Befitting the rumors that they are truly outstanding intelligence, the dragon did not harm them in the slightest and only scooped out the meat and ate it with meek hand movements.

Even in the midst of that, head deacon Garcion’s eyes were fixed only on Lucia.

He asked cautiously.

“My lady.”

“Yes. Tell me, butler.”

With that said.

Gulp, Deacon Garcion, who swallowed dry spit nervously, finally asked after a while.

“Well, is that really the one in the legend of this northern continent?”

“…”

So, Lucia, who had been silently looking down at the thing in her hand for a while.

Within a faint smile on his lips, he answered.

“Yes.”

What was in her hand was none other than that.

It was a white dragon egg.
