Chapter 320: Faded Promise (12)
Ever since the news of the Dragon God’s death, the Dragonian Kingdom had been like a house in mourning. For the first time in a while, it began bustling again.
Murmur, murmur.
Dragonkin, who had gathered after hearing about an important announcement, packed the banquet hall.
Kellion stood on the stage. “Thank you all for coming.”
His low voice echoed through a mic with sound-amplifying magic.
Tens of thousands of eyes fixed on him.
“I know full well that this is a difficult time for all of us.”
The banquet hall fell quiet. In the cold silence without even the smallest murmur, Kellion quietly continued.
“I’ve called you here today because the Dragon’s Virgin Maiden has something important to share with us.” He stepped back like a host introducing a guest singer and turned to the side.
Song Ha-Eun, who had been waiting below the stage, slowly walked up the steps. Her expression clearly showed her nervousness. Swallowing hard, she stood in front of the microphone.
“Ahem.” She cleared her throat unnecessarily. “Not long ago... the Dragon God Kaleios’s soul entered me.”
The dragonkin's eyes went wide. They had heard of the Dragon God’s death, but this was the first time they were hearing that his soul had entered her.
