Became a Hatchling of the Grand Duke of the North

20 – A young dragon learns magic. (1)

[Ego. Are you Guardian Dragon? Would you like to see this?]

Sure.

While doing so, Lucia brought a gold coin in front of me and gently shook it.

Let her slowly move the thing she is holding in her hand from left to right.

Accordingly, Han’s round eyes also unintentionally followed the gold coins.

[Key, Kiii-.]

His silver eyes stood up sharply as if they were sharpened.

Assuming the shape of a vertical pupil, it began to gaze only at the gold coins with a gaze as if it were glaring at its prey.

It was a gold coin.

A beautiful gold coin that shines brilliantly.

Han’s mind was focused there.

To snatch the gold coin, he stood up on his hind feet and moved his head around following Lucia’s hand as if he were going to catch the gold coin at any moment.

But even so.

I never let go of the silver utensils I was carrying in my front legs.

Dishware and gold coins he grabbed full of his paws.

The greed for the present and the greed for gold coexist.

His body was in a state of confusion for a moment.

I was in a state where I never wanted to give up what I was holding in my forepaws, and at the same time, I wanted to have even the gold coins in front of my eyes.

As if to tempt such resentment.

The voice of his contract girl, Lucia, whispered sweetly in his ear.

[Guardian Dragon? Would you like to have this?]

With that said.

Salang. Salang.

Han’s tail began to visibly wag from side to side, as if in anticipation.

Seeing that, you whispered to Lucia while making a fuss with her.

[Oh, Miss Lucia. It seems to work!]

[Yes, Yone. I think so.]

[…]

I can hear everything. Hey guys .. Hey guys.

Honestly, I know the limit.

Now that this is completely childish.

As he once possessed human intellect, he could never be unaware of this fact.

But apart from that.

It was definitely the hatchling, a young dragon, that ate his current instincts.

To the extent that even he himself is perplexed by his consciousness,

Han was now possessed by the dragon’s greed that soared deep from within.

The level of greed was so enormous that it made it difficult to even control the body.

But nonetheless.

Han did not put out his front paw yet. It was because of the silver cutlery he was carrying in his own forepaws.

Forks, knives, and even spoons…

It was too much of a waste to have them in my arms to give up on them and be greedy for that one gold coin.

[One is not enough, right?]

But at that point.

Lucia took out another gold coin in her other hand.

[Then how about two, Guardian Dragon? Would you like to exchange these with the tableware?]

[Kihii-.]

One has become two.

As a result, Han’s tail began to wag more steeply.

It was a powerful response that seemed to reveal the change in his emotions.

But he still couldn’t let go of the things he was holding in his paws.

Inwardly, he desperately weighed each other’s importance and compared which one would be better.

[Guardian Dragon.]

However, Lucia smiled as always at such a grudge.

She took out a lot of gold coins from her arms and held them up as if they were a handful.

[…!!]

At that moment, Han’s eyes widened in an instant.

His tail poked up and stopped.

The tail trembled, expressing his current intense emotions without any doubt.

It wasn’t just two or three levels.

Seven? Eight? No, it wasn’t that either.

What a heap! It was a pile of gold coins!

At a cursory glance, it was a staggering number, almost ten.

At that moment, Lucia’s whisper.

It touched Han’s ear very sweetly, just like that of the devil, and urged him on.

[Ego. Guardian Dragon. Exchange it for these gold coins here…]

Those words had a decisive effect.

Han’s last string of rationality as a human being was cut off.

Further weighing and comparison were useless.

After that, all that was left was the greedy dragon’s instinct, and he acted faithfully as his instinct instructed him.

Clang!

The cutlery Han was holding in his little front paws fell to the floor with a loud noise.

He didn’t even look back and only took the piles of gold coins on Lucia’s palm as if they were stolen.

It’s like he’s lost his mind.

And within.

As if rolling on the floor, Han rolled on top of it, gathering gold coins with his paws.

[Ki-yi-!]

What looked like the screeching screams of a hatchling, a young dragon, echoed throughout this large hall.

He rubbed himself against piles of gold coins.

He rolled frantically over it.

It’s mine… It’s only mine that no one can ever covet -…

I will never allow anyone to approach or look at me…

And looking at Han like that.

Soon after, Lucia let out a sigh of relief.

[Hyo, it works, mother.]

[…That sounds fortunate. Yoneya, get those dangerous cutlery away from there right now.]

[Yes! His Highness!]

While Han was preoccupied with something new.

Yone hurriedly ran and picked up the silver forks and knights that had fallen under his feet.

Because they are sharp and sharp, it would be difficult for Han to pay attention to them again.

So she quickly put them into her pocket, hiding them before Han turned around.

Even after that.

Han’s actions, which had been intoxicated with a deep sense of happiness for a while and rubbing his body against the gold coins, came to an abrupt end.

Bulkkeok!

At the moment, Han suddenly got up from his seat and immediately bit the gold coin and started heading in one direction.

[Guardian Dragon?]

Not only the maids, but also Lucia opened his eyes wide and clearly showed a look of bewilderment.

[Cow, Guardian Dragon? Where are you going-.]

[No.]

Looking at the figure of Lucia, a girl who seemed suspicious and tried to call out Han.

Lucrezia was quick to dissuade her own daughter.

[You can just leave it alone, Lucia. Any dragon would try to hide its treasure from others.]

[That… Is that so?]

[Yes. It is all because of such stories that Dragon Lair (Dragon Lair) has been passed down as an inviolable realm that cannot be invaded by others. It’s because the dragon’s most precious possessions are hidden there.]

Inherently, a dragon cannot use its four limbs for treasures such as gold and silver treasures.

It was like an instinct.

It didn’t matter whether they were high-ranking intellectuals with high intelligence or not.

Dragons are by nature very fond of their own treasures, so no one wants to touch them.

To the point where he hates even directing his eyes.

As if the raw crow likes shiny things.

Because of that, other habits were quite similar to those of crows.

Lucrezia opened her mouth as she looked at Han.

[Even a young hatchling has the same habits as a grown dragon. It’s because it’s the same dragon.]

Tadak!

Han started to head somewhere with the gold coin he had bitten into his mouth.

[That, then?]

[Yes.]

Seeing Lucia’s eyes slightly widened as if she had finally noticed,

Lucrezia nodded her head and continued her words.

[Perhaps our wise guardian dragon is going to hide the most precious treasure he has obtained in the dragon rare.]

And in this case.

That rare is-. Perhaps there was only one.

* * * *

That evening.

All the maids in the castle were busy sharing the stories they had witnessed.

Yone and Milene.

They were also one of those people.

[So, did you really see it, Yone?]

[Seriously, I was there. I couldn’t see He was closer than anyone else.]

The two had a conversation while washing the dishes.

Yone looked dazed for a moment, recalling her own memories.

[It was so dignified to see him walking around confidently with gold coins in his mouth… Ah…]

As if she had witnessed a very enchanting sight, She

Recounted her own eyewitness account, her cheeks blushing.

[Wow… Wealth, envy…]

At that, Milene pursed her lips with a look of envy.

She stopped washing her dishes and looked up at her ceiling in the distance, letting out a small sigh.

[Ah… I wish I was in charge of carrying Guardian Dragon… How nice would it be to carry only one basket?]

[Whoops.]

At those words, Yone smiled confidently.

[On this continent, no one can hold the position of Guardian Dragon-nim’s servant. It is an honorable position that only one person in the world can have.]

[Yes. You are good Because it’s Guardian Dragon’s exclusive maid.]

[Whoops.]

Was the exclusive maid position of a winged lizard such an honorable position?

Perhaps modern people would never understand that fact.

However, in this world, it was taken for granted, and it was a place of honor that had been handed down from long ago, so their reaction was not that strange.

* * * *

And the same time.

The Archduke of Lucrezia was examining his records.

[…]

In the old book of her past, she looked at it, it was written like this.

Because of [… You should always be careful. Even if the guardian dragon is a wise being, as long as it can’t do anything about its natural instinct and nature.

Those who covet their scales and dragon hearts always use gold and silver as bait to seduce the guardian dragon…]

Lucrecia’s eyes narrowed as she stared at the booklet.
