I Received System to Become Dragonborn

"(You know exactly what I'm saying,)" Aurdis said. Still without taking her eyes off the book. "(Our father has left his throne a long time ago. Now there is a lot of trouble going on. Isn't it time for father to come back?)"

Aerchon gritted his teeth and drew closer to Aurdis. He looked at Aurdis from a very close distance. "(You should learn to watch your mouth again, little sister,)" Aerchon said with a sharp hiss.

"(Did I say the wrong thing?)" Aurdis returned Aerchon's gaze.

Aerchon looked at his sister with narrowed eyes that seemed to be burning with anger. But then he sighed.

"(I don't want to waste time fighting with you,)" Aerchon said.

Aerchon stepped back and turned to Saeldir to talk to him instead.

"(What exactly happened?)" Aerchon asked. He thought talking to Saeldir would be better than talking to Aurdis. Talking to Aurdis with her current attitude will only add to his emotional burden.

"(You have heard from Aurdis. She already said what happened,)" Saeldir replied. "(At least the important part.)"

"(Explain to me everything that happened while I was away,)" Aerchon said commandingly.

Saeldir sighed. But he ended up doing what Aerchon asked him to do anyway.

Saeldir started to explain what happened to start from the Magic shield core which suddenly shattered so that the Magic shield that protected the palace also disappeared for a while.

After that Saeldir said about the Ogres who managed to enter the palace and made a mess. Then how Erend turned into a Dragon and finally killed the Ogre army outside the palace.

As soon as Erend's name was mentioned, Aerchon's jaw tightened. Especially after hearing that he completely transformed into a ten-meter-tall Dragon and destroyed the Ogre army all by himself.

Saeldir didn't mention the part where the humans were kidnapped and how he and Erend went to Mount Calamity to save them.

Saeldir thought it would be of no use to Aerchon. The Elf prince wouldn't want to hear details about the incident because he didn't think it was important to him.

"(How did the Magic shield core split into half like that? Last time I heard, there was no weapon or magic that could split it,)" Aerchon said in a surprised tone.

"(Except with very powerful Magic weapons like Arrondite,)" Saeldir said.

Aerchon immediately cast a glance at him. "(You think there's another weapon as strong as Arrondite?)"

Saeldir didn't answer right away. There was another thought in his head that he could hardly express. In the end, Saeldir chose not to express that thought.

"(Yes,)" Saeldir answered. "(The possibility of another weapon as strong as Arrondite is quite high.)"

Aerchon frowned. "(I don't know if it's possible. Another weapon as strong as Arrondite..)"

Perhaps on reflex, Aerchon touched the hilt of Arrondite's on his waist. The sword had enough power to wipe an army if Aerchon was really serious about pouring his Magic energy into it. But Aerchon has never actually done it.

The thought of having another weapon powerful enough to match Arrondite was worrisome. Especially if the weapon is owned by their enemy.

But now there were more important things to worry about than the whereabouts of the weapon. That is how the creature carrying the weapon enters the palace and uses it to attack the Magic shield core.

"(Anyone who wields that weapon can get in here easily and do their job,)" Aerchon said. "(How did he do that?)"

"(We don't know,)" Saeldir answered honestly with a shake of his head.

"(There is a traitor in the palace?)" Aerchon said.

"(That is a possibility we thought of,)" Saeldir turned to Aurdis.

But Aurdis seemed completely unconcerned with their conversation. She was still focused on the book as if there was no important conversation going on in front of her right now.

Saeldir sighed. His attempts to get Aurdis involved in this conversation were completely pointless.

"(You checked it properly?)" Aerchon said.

"(Of course not. I can't do that without your permission,)" Saeldir replied.

"(We'll do that as soon as I finish taking a break.)"

After saying that, Aerchon walked out of the room. As soon as Aerchon came out, Aurdis looked away from the thick book in front of her.

Aurdis looked at the back of his brother who soon disappeared behind the door.

Aurdis sighed. "(I'm starting to get tired of all this.)"

p "(Well, your father is grieving,)" Saeldir said.

Saeldir knew what Aurdis was always worried about. None other than because her father chose to grieve and seemed to forget his obligations.

Saeldir of course also felt that the Elf King had made the wrong decision by handing over power to Aerchon. At least for now. It's no secret that Aerchon isn't fit to be a leader at all.

Saeldir always felt that Aurdis was the right one to hold the throne. But the Elf kingdom was not ruled that way.

Aurdis turned her gaze to him. "(I know. But you also know that it can't always be a reason to leave his task as a King.)"

Saeldir chose not to comment and continued reading his book.

"(I'll go first,") Aurdis said as she stood up and closed her book.

"(Where are you going?)" Saeldir frowned.

"(I'm going to my own room,") Aurdis said. Then she started walking towards the door.

"(Don't forget that we will do an inspection later,)" Saeldir said.

Aurdis didn't answer and opened the door. Aurdis disappeared behind the door.

Saeldir sighed but he didn't look back at his book. He leaned back on the chair and stared at the white sphere which was the core of the Magic shield.

Saeldir woke up from a bad dream this morning. He had slept well the night before as the matter was resolved. At least for now.

But suddenly a nightmare struck him. A dream about disaster and destruction that appears in various places.

Saeldir knew that the dream was a sign given by the universe. But he felt that it was all too big for him alone.
