Became a Hatchling of the Grand Duke of the North

9 – Snow Earth, Young Guardian Dragon’s Magic (3)

Inside the swinging basket.

Han moved inside it.

‘What is it?’

Unlike usual, today he was walking in a different place than the familiar hallway.

The girl holding Han in her arms, Lucia.

Carefully taking each step, I descended the stairs leading to the lower floor.

A long staircase with colorful carpets.

As he headed down like that, there was only one thing Han could think about.

‘…Where are you going?’

Even today was unusual.

It’s a bit unusual that Lucia, a girl who wasn’t the head maid, put him in the basket.

Even the Grand Duke of Lucrezia, who had been invisible for the past dozen days, appeared and was walking side by side with Lucia.

A good ten or more maids came and followed the procession of these two nobles.

Once again, the Han government was aware that they were nobles, and quietly followed them.

There were various beings called dragons in this world.

For example, there were subspecies of dragons classified as monsters, such as drakes and wyverns.

In addition, there were other classifications such as fire dragons, gold dragons, and water dragons, which are classified as intellectual races higher than humans.

But among them.

To take the most famous beings as an example, the Continental people would probably occupy only two.

One was ‘Caliope’, the guardian dragon of the frozen land, who made a contract with the dragon blood people of the north.

The other one is just over a hundred years ago.

Baljak, the evil dragon who was resurrected from the dead that appeared in the not-so-distant past, was that.

But the reason why they are famous to continental people was no different.

It is-.

* * * *

Kik-.

To the sight that unfolded beyond that huge, palace-like gate that slowly opened.

‘Wow…’

Han stood there blankly as if he had lost his mind.

Vast green gardens and splendid medieval architecture built on this snow-covered rugged northern land.

The breadth of the building stretched endlessly.

He suddenly realized how great the status of the Archduchess of Arctus was.

‘As expected, the grand duke’s family is the grand duke’s family.’

Feeling dizzy from excessive shock.

Han swallowed dry saliva.

They set foot in front of the vast garden.

And before long.

I sat down in front of a wide table in the middle of the garden.

A basket full of cans was also placed on her chair next to her.

“…”

After staring at Han for a while, Grand Duke Lucrezia opened her mouth.

[When you go out like this, never take your eyes off the Guardian Dragon, Lucia.]

[Okay.]

The two chatted for a while in the warm sunlight.

[It’s okay even when I don’t order it. On days when the sun is out, don’t hesitate to take Guardian Dragon with you. However, it would be better to always act with Garcion, the butler.]

Sunlight rarely shines in these northern lands.

This was a realm of frozen wild snow, so the sunlight from the sky did not reach the earth due to the snowstorm that blew in all four seasons.

In this way, from time to time, when the blade broke, Lucia needed to go out with her guardian dragon.

All living things are like that.

Especially in the case of the guardian dragon, Han.

A dragon is a special ancient blood relative with the characteristic of becoming bigger and stronger just by getting older, but it was too much to fully awaken a dragon as a dragon with just that alone.

In the end, in order for them to exert their original power and exert a tremendous influence on the world, they had to be helped to absorb the proper amount of nutrients from various aspects from an early age.

Especially in the northern part where the sun doesn’t shine.

Duke Lucrezia said.

[Currently, articles have been scattered around this area in advance. All of them are solely for the protection of this Guardian Dragon.]

[But that may not always be the case, right?]

[Yes.]

To Lucia’s continued question, she answered with a nod of her head.

[That’s why I called Deacon Garcion. Because he is a sword master who has the experience of defeating even subspecies of dragons when he was young.]

[But he is also my teacher now.]

[Yes. Even if I’m not there, I’ll be relieved if he’s there. But if that’s not the case, you should never take Guardian Dragon with you outside in such a rough world-.]

[…]

While the conversation continued, Han silently watched their conversation.

Quietly, like a lion seeking its prey.

He strengthened his hind legs and stretched his muscles so that he could pounce at any moment.

His tail stood up a little more than usual.

Let’s stay calm for a while like that.

Soon, Lucrezia’s gaze, which had been closely watching Han, turned to Lucia for a moment.

My gaze moved away from him for a moment.

At that moment, Han’s eyes flashed.

‘Now.’

He knew that right now was the perfect moment.

Tadak!

I kicked off the seat with agility, and jumped off the basket in one fell swoop.

[Oh!]

At that sudden movement, Lucia’s gaze, which seemed to be startled for a moment, turned to him at once.

Han was filled with joy as he looked at the ground as it approached.

‘Nice, good luck…!’

But just as Han was about to be sure of his success.

There was a hand that snatched him away with terrifying speed.

[…]

It was none other than Grand Duke Lucrecia who snatched the resentment.

Before Han could even land on the ground, she bent her upper body under the table in an instant and grabbed him.

It was a terrifying reaction speed.

As if he had foreseen this situation from the beginning.

‘Now, wait a minute. This feeling…’

And during that brief contact.

Han intuitively realized that she was no ordinary person.

He sensed a clear trace of magical energy that briefly soared from the inside of Lucrecia.

It was a familiar feeling.

A familiar feeling of her that he, who had been an Awakener in her previous life, could never have known, flowed from her like an electric light flashing for a moment.

‘Awakener?’

The Grand Duke of Lucrezia.

She was none other than the Awoken.

Her astonished han was as stiff as her cat, her mouse in front of her, when her reflex looked back at her.

[Guardian Dragon.]

She brought her han close to her own beautiful face, as if to warn her.

He quietly whispered.

[Don’t be too playful.]

Creepy!

Your eyes are blue.

‘What, what kind of eyes do they say?’

I’m not kidding.

But apart from Han’s spirit, who felt such a chilling gaze.

His physical intimacy with her was still intact, so he acted involuntarily reflexively.

Lick.

Without anyone saying anything, he licked her red lips with his little tongue in an instant.

It was literally a fleeting moment.

That moment.

Her cold, icy expression disappeared as her eyes melted.

At once, even the lobe of the ear was stained red, and both cheeks turned red.

[Ah, ah-…]

A short moan, lukewarm like lukewarm water, was about to leak out.

It was the voice of the girl Lucia that awakened the Grand Duke of Lucrezia.

[Mother?]

[…!]

Awake at the sound, she put her han in the basket next to her, then raised her upper body again.

[Heh, hehehe.]

She reappeared on the table. She

She cleared her throat, managed her expression again, and continued.

[Guardian Dragon is already showing signs of being impatient. Go and gather some snow and bring it.]

[Okay.]

While Lucia got up from her seat and disappeared.

The Grand Duke of Lucrezia looked around for a while without saying a word.

There was no one around her.

The maids kept their distance, and the knights stood guarding the outskirts of the unseen garden.

So, in this place where only Han and her are left.

The Grand Duke of Lucrezia stared down at Han.

[…]

‘What, what is it? Why are you looking at me like that?’

Because those staring eyes seemed to choke my breath again.

Her nervous han glared at her, swallowing her dry saliva.

‘Could it be because I just acted reflexively?’

But that wasn’t Han’s will.

It was just that his body acted as if being pushed by someone.

As long as the name and color have human intelligence.

There’s no way he would do something like a pet.

‘No way. There’s no way I would do something like that because I’m a human being, right?’

However, it was only for a moment that such tension came to mind.

In the meantime, Han-eun stood up on his table, as if she was enchanted again.

This time he groaned low and rubbed his body against her hand.

The direction in which the will and the body acted was different.

He rubbed the nape of his neck on the body of the Grand Duke of Lucrezia, who gave off a nice body odor, as if to add his own body odor.

The desire for exclusivity overflowing from within quickly erased the human will he possessed just before.

‘Yes, as long as it’s good.’

As if he never hated the expression of intimacy.

Grand Duke Lucrezia also gently stroked him gently.

I can hear her secretly muttering something in her small voice.

[Ears, they are cute…]

It was then.

[Mother.]

[…!]

At the voice of Lucia coming from behind,

The expression of Grand Duke Lucrecia, who had melted, was back to its original cold expression.

[Ah, um. You’re here.]
