The Fairy’s Dragon GuardianChapter 42: Saying Something Oliver’s POV“In three days, we will find you the cure to your king.”In an instant, the expression on the Captain’s eyes changed. It seemed like I had the right guess.“How presumptuous!”It was late when I noticed that he took a big rock in his hands and threw it in our direction. I grabbed Crystal’s shoulders and swiftly turned to the side. When the rock fell on the ground, the dust flew everywhere and some of it got into my eyes.Crystal’s small hands helped me remove them and when I opened my eyes, the first thing that I saw was her pair of worried eyes. I wanted to stare at them a little longer, but another rock flew to us.I peeled away my eyes from her and turned my head to the Captain. It seemed like it would be a little difficult to persuade him. Then the more reason I should do this.In the first place, the fire cannot harm me and Lumara at all. In any case, I only need to safely take my teammates out first. If not,
The Fairy’s Dragon Guardian Chapter 43: As Human, or as Dragon King? Crystal’s POV The hut was just as what we expected when we first came here. There was the strong scent of medicine wafting in the air. Oliver told us while walking that Gorrum indeed had a sickly daughter, and he used olma that was said to treat any diseases. “But his daughter’s condition was suspicious. Think about it. She suddenly fell sick with a perfectly healthy body, and Gorrum coincidentally met that peddler.” Snow cracked a melon seed and handed it to me and Nayara. Lumara was helping the men cooking our food. I wanted to help, but they all stopped me. So I had no choice but to sit down and think of how we could find the cure for the king, and about Gorrum. “We all know that devils live among humans. That peddler must be one of them,” Nayara said. I nodded my head, “If he’s under the disguise of a peddler, then we can find him by the city walls. It’s also possible that he’s at the mouth of the forest,
The Fairy’s Dragon GuardianChapter 44: Thought You Knew Crystal’s POV “Queen Fae, tell us about your husband.”I let out an awkward laugh and drank another glass of water. Oddly enough, I don’t wan to talk about it, even though it should be fairly easy for me to tell them about it.They weren’t really asking for the person’s identity, but my relationship with him. In retrospect, my relationship with Oliver at that time could be described in a few words: cold and emotionless. We were only bound by a marriage contract that was easily dissolved with a divorce.For two years, there wasn’t enough time for feelings to blossom in our marriage nor the time we were separated for ten years was too short to have lingering feelings. We were mostly absent in each other’s lives, and I believe that we didn’t really knew each other that much.So how can I answer this question? There wasn’t so much as feelings of affection between the two of us.“Everyone, let’s stop talking about this. It was alre
The Fairy’s Dragon Guardian Chapter 45: Poison and Poison Crystal’s POV Millennial Greens is one of the dishes of the immortals. It wasn’t a difficult dish to make as it only requires a bunch of green vegetables infused with immortal power and the morning dew. That was also the reason why I woke up early. Even in the ancient times and at present, Millennial Greens still tops the chart of immortal chefs whenever an immortal is sick or something else. It was mainly used to remove the blockage on their bloodstreams, creating a smoother flow of power in their veins. After eating breakfast, we sat in a circle. Oliver opened the topic about the orc king. “On my way back after fighting the red-haired guy and his lackeys, I accidentally found out from one of the royal guards that the king is already dying. It just so happened that his only child, the Crown Prince, was away for a convoy to the east for a marriage alliance.” “Well, that explains why the King is still sick without any cure
The Fairy’s Dragon GuardianChapter 46: Wise KingCrystal’s POV The Orc King is a wise man, or maybe it was because of our identities. He readily drank what we brought him, and his royal apothecary was checking his condition. I would be lying if I didn’t feel nervous at all. To tell the truth, I’ve been quite nervous since he drank the bowl of concoction, adding what I felt when he suddenly talked about my master.I didn’t know much about my master’s private life. She had stayed unmarried until her death and I have no idea if she used to have someone inside her heart as well.“May I ask Queen Fae the reason of your sudden visit?” The Orc King rose from his bed as the apothecary took three steps back and politely excusing himself out.“There have been many disturbances caused by the devil forces starting a few months ago. Because of that, one of the members of my fairy clan went missing while looking for some Thorn Flowers. When we arrived here, only then did we find out that your vil
The Fairy’s Dragon GuardianChapter 47: Strange AtmosphereCrystal’s POV It was already dark when we arrived at Gorrum’s house. We could already hear the laughter from outside and we could tell that they were all having a good time. From the yard outside, I saw that Gorrum’s wife was busy going here and there preparing a feast. When she noticed us from the gate, she quickly ran to me and smiled while greeting us.“You arrived at the perfect time. We are preparing a feast. We heard that you went to the king, that was why we were able to come out of prison this time.”“It’s what we should do. How’s your daughter?”“She’s doing fine. She was happy with the others inside, especially that one called Nayara.”“She’s quite a lovable child.”Gorrum’s wife was smiling ear to ear as she scooped some of the soup and handed it to me to taste. The hot soup instantly woke my taste buds and earned a growl from my stomach. I realized that we really hadn’t had anything for the whole day. I was busy f
The Fairy’s Dragon GuardianChapter 48: Are You Willing? Oliver’s POV I took the box in my hand and silently put it inside the space pouch Snow quietly handed to me. This time, I wasn’t alert enough to let Crystal notice that. It had been a few days so I thought it would heal in time. But she still saw it. She never spoke again even after we returned to the hotel.She went inside her room right after. I wanted to call her out, but the door shut right in front of my face. I heaved a sigh and went back to my own room. But just as I closed the door, a knock sounded. When I opened it, Crystal was holding a vial in her hand. She didn’t give me enough time to ask and push herself inside.“Ahh! Queen Fae, we’re changing! How can you just have stormed inside?!” That must be Jethro.“Ahem, sorry.”Then the red-faced Crystal walked back to where she came from. I heard the rustles coming from the living room and when I couldn’t hear it anymore, only then did I let out a dry cough.Crystal look
The Fairy’s Dragon GuardianChapter 49: CowardCrystal’s POVUnexpectedly, we rested soundly that night. There were no disturbances, and we all woke up refreshed the next day as if nothing had happened. The sun was just up in the sky when I woke up and the breeze blew in from the window.“What a nice day,” I muttered to myself as I sip on a cup of coffee. But suddenly there was a knock on the door. I almost pour myself the hot coffee.I hissed and ran to open the door. The person outside the door turned out to be Oliver. What is he doing here early in the morning? “What is it?”“We need to return to Val Village. Right now.”“Huh? What do you mean?”……There was no time to react at all. In that moment, Oliver pulled me by my wrist inside their room and finally teleported to Val Village in an instant. I had no idea what happened, and I was about to ask Oliver that when I noticed the thick smoke coming from the direction of the forest.A fire again? I frowned, thinking of that time when
