A Walking Bundle of Misunderstandings

What happened to Irene?

After Irene dismissed the guards, Belserion asked curiously.

"Oh, it's nothing, just some guy who can't help but ramble on!"

Looking at Irene's crescent-shaped eyes and slightly upturned lips, Belserion became even more curious about who had come! Ever since Irene ascended the throne five years ago, she had always worn a stern face, no matter who she met, even him; she had lost her former cheerfulness and liveliness. Belserion hadn't seen her smile so happily in a long time. Just then, he suddenly remembered that, according to human age, Irene was of marriageable age. Could it be...?

"Oh! I understand! I understand! Then you should go see him quickly, don't keep him waiting too long, that wouldn't be good!"

Irene felt that Belserion's words were a bit strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong. She looked at Belserion with a puzzled expression. However, he simply raised his head and looked up at the blue sky, ignoring her completely. Helpless, Irene could only shake her head and walk towards the council hall.

After Irene had walked away, Belserion watched her figure and sighed, "Ah! Before I knew it, that little girl had grown up. I wonder which rascal has gotten her? No! I have to keep an eye on her and not let those unscrupulous guys fool her!"

After saying this, Belserion spread his wings and flew towards the council hall.

"I'm so sorry, Prince Sordil, for keeping you waiting!"

Hearing the melodious sounds coming from the corridor, the Your Highness the Prince, who had already forgotten the purpose of his trip, hurriedly swallowed the dessert in his mouth and then used wind magic to wipe the crumbs from the corner of his lips. Once everything was in order, Sordil quickly stood facing the palace gate, quietly awaiting the goddess's appearance. Not long after, Irene's graceful figure appeared before the palace gate and quickly walked towards Sordil, making Sordil heart pound.

"Prince Sordil, are you alright?"

Looking at Sordil, who had a dementia-like expression, Irene asked with some concern. After being struck by the 'hammer of justice' of reality, Sordil finally came to his senses and remembered the purpose of his trip.

"Irene, I heard that the Wise Dragon Belserion has returned from scouting the Western Continent. Is that true?"

Irene didn't answer Sordil's question directly, but instead circled around Sordil with a curious expression. After Sordil arrived, Belserion's suddenly strange tone, coupled with Sordil's direct announcement of Belserion's return, made Irene feel she was close to uncovering the truth. Considering Sordil's bizarre magical abilities, Irene finally understood the 'truth'.

"Sordil, don't worry! Belserion fine, he just needs a few days of rest!"

"Oh, that's good!"

Sordil was dumbfounded as soon as he finished speaking! Was Irene's question irrelevant? And why was she looking at him with that "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone" look? Little did Sordil know that while he was bewildered, another person was already in a state of utter confusion in the sky.

Looking at the awkward chatter surrounding him below, Belserion really wanted to rush down and yell at the two of them, "Don't think that just because you care about me, I'll approve of your marriage! Humans and dragons can't be together, you won't be happy!" But he was afraid of hurting Irene's feelings, so he anxiously paced around the roof of the council hall, sweating profusely.

Although Sordil was puzzled by Irene's strange gaze, knowing that the Wise Dragon Belserion had returned to the Kingdom of Donagunov from the Western Continent was enough! According to the plot of the anime from his previous life, a great war broke out between the dragons of the two continents shortly after Belserion's return. This meant that he didn't have much time left to devise a way to survive! To maximize his chances of survival, Sordil knew he had to know the exact date of the war.

"Irene, now that Belserion has returned, does that mean the dragons of the Western Continent will soon attack Ishgar?"

Sordil's words made Irene put away her playful mood, and she said seriously, "That's right! Belserion has already found out that the dragons of the Western Continent will march on Ishgar in six months!"

"Six months?"

Hearing that there were still six months to prepare, Sordil relaxed a little, meaning he could still gather more forces to fight against the dragons of the Western Continent. Thinking this, Sordil felt he had no time to waste and hurriedly took his leave of Irene.

"Irene, I can't stay here any longer. I need to get back to Fostadu inform my companions and get them ready for battle! You should also quickly spread this message to all of humanity so that we can unite to fight against the warlike dragons of the Western Continent!"

"Don't worry! I've already informed all the countries of this news, so they can prepare for battle!"

"That's good! I'll be going now. Take care, Irene, goodbye!"

Be careful on your way home!

Sordil spread his wings and flew into the sky, waved to Irene, and then left the palace at an extremely fast speed.

The Kingdom of Donagunov, outside the capital

"Boy, get away from Irene right now, or else... hmph!"

Looking at the two colossal dragons blocking his path, Sordil felt he had seen them somewhere before, and he also felt he had heard their words somewhere before. As one of the weakest fighters among the dragons, Sordil wisely refrained from using force to leave, and instead politely inquired, "May I ask who you two are...?"

"I am the Wise Dragon Belserion, and he is Acnologia. Kid, I advise you to behave yourself, or we'll teach you a lesson on how to be a dragon!"

What?! Sage Dragon and Black Dragon have gotten together, and they even intercepted me halfway! Wait! Why does this scene look so familiar? Could it be that I picked up the wrong script and wandered into the theater of some teen idol drama?

"Have you thought it through, kid?"

Here it comes, here it comes! The famous scene from campus romance dramas where the spoiled brat forces the male lead to leave the female lead has finally arrived! Could it be that I've really wandered into the wrong theater?

Seeing Sordil standing there in a daze, ignoring the two of them, Belserion really wanted to beat him up, but remembering their purpose, Belserion forced himself to calm down. Then he said to Sordil again, "Boy! Get away from Irene immediately, and don't have any more improper thoughts about her, understand?"

"I understand!" Sordil finally 'understood' this time. He hadn't wandered into the wrong theater; his ulterior motives had simply been discovered. Looking at the two powerful dragons before him, Sordil knew that if he refused their offer, he would definitely be taught a lesson about how to be a dragon. But he was unwilling to agree to their demands! So, he only had one option left—the best of the thirty-six stratagems was to flee!

"Teleportation"

"Buzz"

The space trembled, and Sordil's figure vanished from before Belserion and his companion, reappearing in the sky several kilometers away. Sensing Sordil's presence, Belserion angrily gave chase, but by the time he arrived, Sordil had already stepped into a spatial rift and disappeared completely from the vicinity.
