"Nonsense!　What the hell is that supposed to mean?　Explain it to me so I understand!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Only the king's voice rang out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The soldier continued his report in a trembling voice.

"A red dragon is flying toward the capital!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Are you sure it's not just a passing thing?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"There is already damage on the streets!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"--Why?　Why are dragons targeting this country!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As soon as the king's head was in his hands, a panic broke out among the quiet crowd.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Some tried to flee, others lamented in despair, and still others fainted.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I understand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A dragon is such a threat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A dragon is not like a dragon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Dragons are treated as monsters.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Some countries revere them as gods... others fear them as demons.

"Be still!　Calm down!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The king's exhortation causes everyone to stop moving.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Who can fight?　Ludo!　Can you move the magic army?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. It is possible if you give us some time. But I cannot guarantee you victory against the dragon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ludo's expression is bitter, as if he doesn't want to whine before the battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But as the leader of the army, he had to tell the truth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I know that!　But we must protect our country!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course. I will defend the Kingdom of Skye even to the death!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... please. And now, court wizard!　It's your turn!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was no reply.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(-- Huh? )

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam is surprised that no one responds.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Günther was about to raise his hand, but was stopped by Jonathan who said, "You are not fit for battle, don't do it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The dragon is definitely a threat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The pride of a nation of wizards may have no chance against them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Especially since the country just lost its most powerful wizard.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Not all the court wizards are present.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe all of them are not fit for battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（How pathetic!)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But whatever their excuses, wizards recognized by their country have an obligation to fight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If Ur had been here, I am sure he would have been happy to go to battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The same goes for Sam.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam is now a court wizard and the most powerful wizard in the Kingdom of Skye.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Above all, as Ulrike Scheidt Walker's apprentice, he cannot be intimidated by this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, we cannot be afraid.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Quite the contrary.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（I never thought I'd have another chance to fight a dragon ......... it's a good test to see how far I'm willing to go now.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"My king. I will fight."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"--Samuel Scheidt, are you serious?　You would fight the red dragon?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course. That is why I am the court wizard and the most powerful wizard in the land.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam kneeled before the king and hung his head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"This is not the first time I have fought a dragon. I was with Ur, but I fought and I am alive. Please command me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"--Okay. I'm sorry, but I need your help.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Leave it to me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam stands up and bows to the king.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then Günther interrupted him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wait, Sam. Then I will fight too. My husband is not the only one in danger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Günther Ignatz, you will fight for me too? Thank you.　Husband?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Don't talk nonsense, Günther!　In this time of emergency, the king has turned his head!　I mean, I'm the only one who has to fight."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's too arrogant, Sam!　You've certainly proven your mettle!　I'll even admit that I was more capable than I had imagined!　But no one can beat a dragon, not even Ulrike!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Günther, too, had a few unnecessary words, but I knew he was sincerely concerned about me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is true that even Ur might not be able to win against a dragon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I fought Ur against a dragon in the past, I didn't win just because I didn't die.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, Sam!　They are not like dragons, they are a higher species we cannot even imagine!　You can't fight them alone and win!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Dear Liese, ...... I appreciate your concern. But if I don't fight, who will?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"--well, that's..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Let me be blunt, but the Royal Magical Army can't win. The court wizards are useless. If I, the heir to Ulrike Scheidt Walker, do not fight, who will?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam's words were an insult to the court wizards.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But not a word of rebuttal or anger was raised.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For the court wizards present had no intention of fighting the dragon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They do not want to raise their voices and end up fighting against the dragon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam was truly disappointed to see such a coward in the position of court wizard.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then I'll fight too!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Lise!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jonathan's voice rings out to stop his daughter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You have indeed learned swordsmanship from the Lord of Kensei, but you are going to fight a dragon with only one sword!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So, but, Father..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What can you do when you haven't held a sword in your hand for so long?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, Lise-sama. If anything should happen to you, I'll be sad.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam agrees with Jonathan.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If something happens to Lise, who is still in bad shape, in the battle, Sam will definitely regret it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He would also feel bad for Ur.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But if something happens to Sam, I'll be sad too, you know?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Trust me. I'll come back safely, I promise.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"--You promise?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Of course.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Then I promise."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lise hugs Sam tightly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam pats her on the back, and Lise pulls away and turns her back to him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe she is crying.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I feel like calling out to her, but Erica, Alicia, and Grace run to her, so I leave her to them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For their safety, we must fight the dragon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"King, please evacuate first!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam advises the king.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, all right. I'll tell the people to evacuate as well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll take care of that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You may panic, but a dragon is like a natural disaster. You have no choice but to flee.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Then, I'll buy you some time. I'd kill it if I could.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Samuel, I'm sorry. If all goes well, you will be rewarded for your service."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you. Hey, Günther.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Can you set up a ward over the entire area to protect King's Landing?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At Sam's question, Günther crosses his arms and thinks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It would be difficult for me to do it alone, but if I could borrow some of my men and some wizards who can use warding techniques from the magic army, it would be possible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then, please."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"--So, you want me to protect everyone in King's Landing instead of fighting dragons, is that it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Günther, who specializes in protecting, can do it, can't he?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, well, if my husband expects me to do it, I'll do it. I'll do my best, but I can't guarantee how hard the wards will be and how long they will last.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's fine."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is a difference between having protection in King's Landing and not having it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't like to fight with my back to the wall.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wanted to concentrate on the attack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Fortunately, I am well aware of the solidity of Günther's warding techniques.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have no doubt that he can do it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Master and madam, please take everyone and evacuate quickly!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Sam, no, I won't say anything. I'm sorry, but please. I'll do what I can.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jonathan nods vigorously.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Sam!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lise burst into tears and called his name.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam smiles at her and tells her not to worry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's all right, Lise. It was the Dragon King who fought with Ur, but I am alive. I'll get through this time too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"And maybe..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam's feet leave the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"There doesn't seem to be any wizards who can use flying magic, so I think it's my turn to deal with a flying dragon."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Surprised by Sam's flight, voices rose one after another from the surroundings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay. I won't keep you any longer. But be careful and make sure you come back."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Sam!　Take it easy!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, well, good luck, Mr. Sam."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you. I'll be back. I promise."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The three sisters saw him off, and he took off in a great leap.
