Chapter 943
Rudelite, leveraging the fact that he was a dragon well-versed in magic, managed to secure a job as a mage in Heins Territory.
His duties mainly revolved around inspecting artifacts and handling various odd jobs through magic.
Of course, Davey, who was aware of a dragon's distinct characteristics, decided to temporarily dismiss the idea of revealing his true identity. To do so would be considered taboo in their delicate game, and there was no reason to provoke him into a frenzy.
Whether Rudelite was aware of this or not, he seemed to thoroughly enjoy himself, as if he believed he had successfully begun his playful act. Davey then ordered the maids to clean him up and groom his scruffy appearance.
Once cleaned up, his true charm as a dragon became apparent—his striking beauty was enough to make anyone blush regardless of gender. Although he was undoubtedly a young man, his looks were so enchanting that some men were initially drawn to him, falling into despair upon learning his gender. Others, however, made unsettling remarks saying that his beauty was all that mattered.
About a week after Rudelite began adjusting to life in the territory, Davey received word of a grim situation in the Pallan Empire. Unlike the peaceful developments in Heins Territory, word about the Emperor’s younger brother’s rebellion had been made public, and anyone connected to it was being dragged away indiscriminately, vanishing into the execution grounds.
Knowing Sullivan’s personality of resolving all grudges, Davey wasn’t surprised by the empire's thorough efforts to root out the rebellion. He even agreed with his actions. Still, he couldn’t help but feel relieved that Illyna hadn’t caught wind of the events.
Davey missed her, wondering when she’d return. He figured it might take two or three months, given how determined she was to enjoy her girls trip. If he truly wanted to see her, he could always go find her himself. However, his curiosity about Rudelite had taken precedence for the moment.
Throughout the past week, his unique charm and friendly demeanor quickly won over the people of Heins Territory, allowing him to seamlessly integrate into their lives.
