Dragon Tales: Reincarnation.

A while goes by, as I sit down on the stairway, waiting for them to wake up.

I want to think more about this.

Why? Why did they make this sudden decision?

It’s not like they have seen my achievements. I haven’t done anything for them either. Aside from saving carmine, I have done nothing significant for them that they would make this drastic decision.

Why is it drastic? It’s because of the word ‘Subordination’. This word has it’s own significance when you say it. Being a noble of a country, also one of the top ones, they shouldn’t make this important decision like this. What about the King?

That’s the question coming to mind right now. What will be his response. Subordinating his noble. It can’t that negligible can it?

What problems will ensue? Or it’s just that I could be worrying too much.

From the impression I’ve gotten until now, Elder Dragons are pretty much the biggest authority in this world. Even if they don’t interact with humans, their will cannot be neglected. It is because they are the biggest forces of nature in this world. Anger an Elder dragon and you’ll regret it. That’s how it is. The fear. And mucfh of it is also respect and admiration.

I can see within their eyes, how much they blindly respect me. how much I’m revered by these people. The purest example is of Felia. Those eyes brimming of ambition to serve me, I won’t forget them.

Then it would be better to return the admiration with trust and responsibility. I will be responsible for them. No matter what happens, anyone who chooses to follow me, I will protect them with my life.

This will be a big difference from my original demeanor. But, this is what I wished for didn’t I?

To be a better and reliable person. To be strong enough.

My wish is being granted.

They will be mine forever.

“I feel bad for them… they are lying on the floor…”

I see the family and the servants all lying unconscious on the floor in front of the stairs in the hall.

“Why don’t you put them to bed then?” Says Twixie.

“Hmm.. Okay.”

I get up from the stairs, walk toward the pile of people lying on the ground, without a sign of waking up.

They are sleeping so sound, like some kids, tht one could ask if they are sleeping because they played all day long.

“…But I don’t know where the rooms are…” I say.

“That’s not a problem, we can just bring Carmine and others to their rooms. Then we can put the pillows from the guest rooms to make a temporary bed for them.”

That Is a good idea…

Then the same magic spell as before?

I walk toward the Weskins Family.

[Wind’s Embrace]

I say in my mind.

The four members of the family and Felia rise up in a gust of wind.

“Let’s go then.”

We walk up the stairs with them in tow.

“Will their appearance change somehow?” I ask Twixie.

“Hmm… Probably. Humans are like water. They take shape when they are influenced by someone other than Humans. The same cannot be said for others. They are influenced but not to the degree of humans,” she says.

“I see.”

We walk to the rooms where the family sleeps. First we enter the room for the couple floating in the air.

I take off their shoes and put them in a corner. Then I put them to bed and put their blankets on.

Next is the turn for the cute Lucy. I never had an interaction with her before. I mean I just got here. It would be true to say that I knew nothing about people here.

We go into Lucy’s room. Just what you would expect from the room of a girl her age. Pink and girly. It’s definitely not that pink but you can see the emphasis for a girl in here.

I take off her shoes too and put her to bed.

Then comes the turn for Carmine. We go into her room and find that she has a good taste in furniture. Probably her parents who suggested this. But the demeanor you get from this room is that of a mature college student.

“Hmm?”

Where should I put Felia then?

“Twixie? Where is Felia gonna go?” I ask Twixie.

“You could put her in your bed. I’m sure she would be overjoyed at that.” She says.

She’ll probably have a heart attack from the excitement… Or embarrassment.

Once I had put all of them to bed. I go around the house to collect all the pillows in the guest rooms and some from mine.

I place them in order and put some sheets on them to make a make-shift bed. I didn’t know where all the servants slept so I had no choice but to do this.

I put them on the make-shift soft and comfy bed and put some sheets over them just in case they feel cold.

I feel like a mother caring for her dozen kids.

“What to do now?”

“You could ho outside you know? We haven’t gone out. You were just born and I was sealed away. But it feels like I was sealed yesterday though…” says Twixie flying around my head.

Go outside, huh?

I wonder what it’s like out there. We came here at night so we didn’t get to see the people that time.

We should head out then. Probably get a bite to eat too…

I walk toward the mansion’s exit. I get out and close the door behind.

Then I exit the main gate and find Lucius there.

“Oh? Lucius?” I say.

“Lady Velkra. Good Afternoon to you.” He says.

I guess it’s not morning anymore. That stuff took a time didn’t it?

“Lucius. The family and the servants are sleeping right now. Some things happened. I hereby order you to guard and look after the estate. Don’t ask any questions. You will find out when they wake up.” I say.

“Sleeping? But it’s midday isn’t it?” he says.

“I just told you not to ask questions right? Take them with you and guard the mansion along with the others. They will want to join the lucky ones too.” I say.

Only the servants and the whole family was there. It didn’t include the guard knights on the estate. I would have to ask them their consent first. That’s how it works.

That's how my day went today. My brain was too exhausted to write anymore. physical exhaustion is one thing but when your brain is getting overheated by just looking at words, you can't do anything. So i hated words today. And I had to Give something. So here's a part of the chapter. More will come later tomorrow.
