Since leaving Wite, the capital of the Dragon King Kingdom,
And setting out on a new journey toward the Shirone Kingdom,
Another month had slipped by before they knew it.
On the main road, their traveling party
Had one more member than when they had arrived.
Cui Ciyou rode the Horned Dragon Horse, looking down with mixed feelings at the silent blue-haired girl in front of him.
The girl's name was Benedictine Kingdragon.
She had changed into an outfit suited for travel.
Gone was the plain dress that had been washed until its colors faded.
But her frame was so slight that a gust of wind seemed enough to knock her over.
She simply sat quietly in front of Cui Ciyou.
Her sapphire-blue eyes studied the scenery on either side of the road with some curiosity.
The emerald rice paddies stretched as far as the eye could see.
There was an air of detachment about her, as though a thick barrier separated her from the entire world.
Of course, apart from this tranquil tableau of a beautiful girl gazing into the distance,
Cui Ciyou was doing his best to ignore the two stares aimed at him from behind.
Stares brimming with almost tangible murderous intent, enough to burn straight through his back.
One blazed with irritation, anger, and the fury of You bastard.
The other carried hurt, disappointment, and the icy resentment of I never thought you were that kind of person.
Cui Ciyou did not need to turn around to know who those stares belonged to.
One was his nominal fiancée-Eris Boreas Greyrat.
And the other was Sylphiette.
Cui Ciyou let out a long, long sigh.
Why?
Why did this always turn into some harem comedy?
This wasn't how the script was supposed to go!
It had all started
