Book 1: Chapter 4
I kept thinking about how to slay Earth Dragons until nightfall.
They definitely can be killed, and the dragon scale in my hand is proof of that. There’s definitely a way to kill them. According to what Lucia said, Earth Dragon scales are usually sold for very high prices on the market since they’re one of the best materials for making armour. Mom must’ve spent a fortune purchasing Earth Dragon scales for me to tell that fib.
Whether it’s for my mom’s sake or for those whose safety is at risk because of them, I must find a way to get rid of the Earth Dragons.
“What’s wrong? It looks like something has been weighing on your mind.”
The fork and knife gently clanged the edge of the plate, but the sound echoed throughout the huge dining room. I looked up to see my mom’s worried face looking at me. I hesitated for a moment before smiling and shaking my head, and said: “It’s nothing. Don’t worry, mom…”
Mom’s blue eyes didn’t leave me, her eyes filled with worry as she sighed and softly said: “Son, I know what you’re thinking. My magical skill is ‘Mind-Reading’. I can tell what you’re thinking. You’re thinking about taking revenge. You’re considering hunting the dragons.”
“…You’re right.”
Oi, oi, oi! Isn’t that ability a bit too overpowered!? Doesn’t this mean that no one could rebel?! She’d know right away if someone intended to rebel! No wonder my mother is the queen. That ability is basically designed specifically for a ruler! But is it really a good idea to use that skill on your own son? Wait! Doesn’t that mean that she knows about all those dirty thoughts I had about her and Lucia?!
Doesn’t that mean that she knows I’m not from this world either?!
