Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga

Chapter 669

There’s so much noble blood around me that I’m starting to feel dizzy.

It would be funny if the authors who are treated so specially that they are called the Dragon Blood Clan were to stop at being barons or counts. Unless they are a family that maintains the abnormal power balance of the village of the poor leaf, there would be no reason for them to stay at the level of a mere noble with that much power.

“Why aren’t there any normal people around me···”

But now, I desperately want to hope that it’s a funny situation. How is it that among the people around me, the royal family, the saints, the nobles, etc., the only one who can be classified as ordinary is the elf Asili? Is this the hero’s karma? At my empty muttering, Yekaterina burst into laughter, and Lelie looked at me as if she was looking at a strange person.

[There is a saying that like things come together]

In the meantime, Este launched a fact bombing attack, and I almost told her to shut her mouth in front of the people, but I barely held back by gritting my teeth.

“Isn’t that a fact that should have been kept secret? But if that doesn’t work, you can just run away to Radan across the sea, but the ripple effect of the Dragon Blood can follow you for a lifetime. This isn’t the time to weigh the pros and cons.”

Yes, I endured it by looking at the owner of that brilliant personality who does not spare himself. I regained my composure in the truth that when a person does good things, pretty people also look prettier. I decided to ask the things I was curious about since it ended up like this anyway.

“Are you purging your future political enemies?”

“Umm… I can’t really go into detail about that. Sorry, but can you just explain how this story relates to figuring out your curse?”

“Of course. What’s there to be sorry about? Do whatever you want.”

Doesn’t everyone have their own circumstances? As he nodded his head in response, Ekaterina’s smile seemed to become more relaxed.

“We are the only ones in the entire continent who have been influenced by the Dragon Blood to the point where they are called the Dragon Blood ‘Clan’. Thanks to that, we know that those with the Dragon Blood can sense that there is something strange about each other.”

“Are you saying that you could tell that I was wearing the Dragon Blood as soon as you saw me sparring?”

“That’s right. Resonance… No, I should say it’s closer to resonance.”

Ah, so that’s why you noticed that Niathezelp wasn’t under the Dragon’s Blood Curse the moment you saw him? I nodded in agreement because it was something I hadn’t even thought about, but Catherine’s story wasn’t over yet.

“It’s a bit of an abstract concept to explain in detail, so it doesn’t really mean anything. Just think of it as the more your emotions get intense and the more you draw on the power of the Dragon’s Blood, the easier it is to face your inner curse.”

“···So you’ll find out once you play a round?”

“Haha, that’s right”

If I had heard that Catherine was a member of the Dragon Blood Clan, I would have thought, ‘How?’. It seems that the key is how much of a dragon scent she gives off… As I listened to the story, another question arose.

“Does that mean that even if it is a power that is passed down through bloodlines, problems commonly referred to as curses can occur?”

If there wasn’t someone born with a debuff in the clan, I don’t think I would have even known that it was possible to confirm it like that. Yekaterina nodded her head indifferently to the question I asked.

“I don’t know why, but there are more of them. The stronger the force, the higher the possibility. The opposite case is when it can be safe. I was in the latter case.”

“If it manifests as a postnatal factor, can it be safe like Catherine?”

“I just didn’t notice it at the time, but I think I was born with a natural ability to hemorrhage. I think it’s just like muscles. Everyone is born with muscles, right? They just get stronger when you train.”

Even if your blood content is low, if you train hard, you can still reach the current level of Yekaterina. That is shocking in its own right. If Yekaterina is this strong, how strong are those who have clearly shown their prowess since birth?

“I personally felt that the brothers who stood out were different from each other. Maybe that’s why I didn’t feel close to them.”

As soon as I heard Catherine’s answer, which came out with perfect timing as if she had read my mind, the first thing that came to mind was the Demons.

In the past, some dragon tribes were definitely created through repeated improvements, and the dragon blood must have been used on the demon tribes. So, they must have been able to use magic power and even developed horns as a racial trait.

However, unlike the Dragon Blood Clan, the Demon Clan does not skip generations and have exceptional children, nor do they suffer from curses. It would be natural if it were the result of successful genetic modification, but then how on earth did they succeed in such modification?

Although it was said that the purpose was to use them as slaves, strictly speaking, the improvement of the dragon tribe was a success in itself.

They have also developed an attitude of submission to the strong for their own purposes, and despite this, they have the intelligence to achieve civilization, and they have faith and common sense, and they are so strong that most other species cannot compete with them. It is because their purposes are unhealthy that they have created new species and even achieved evolution.

If only they could figure out how to do that, wouldn’t other ordinary races be able to gain power without worrying about the disadvantages of dragon blood?

“Anyway, back to the main topic, I wanted to say that since there is such a past and reason, let’s have a sparring session. Even though you, Eldmia, are already confident···”

Even though she was asking me to please just get a health checkup, bringing up her past, Yekaterina continued to speak carefully so as not to offend me. Seeing that she was worthy of the title of warrior of civilization, I nodded my head in unconditional agreement before she could finish speaking.

“There is no such thing as too many times to verify safety. Since those guys were already a bit lacking, I would like to ask for your help.”

Why is Yekaterina’s expression brighter even though I am the one receiving help? · For now, let’s talk about the rest of the details later. Yekaterina got up from her seat to pick up the warhammer she had left behind. Lelie, who had been quietly listening to the story, raised her hand indifferently and said.

“If you’re going to go get your gear anyway, there’s no need to follow me, so I’ll just rest here. Is that okay, Ega-san?”

“Of course. I will ask Tien to prepare the carriage and tea.”

Yekaterina nodded without any doubt and left the office. After leaving it to Tie, I returned to the sofa and looked at Lelie, who was sighing in her voice.

“Naive, huh?”

“I feel like he’s just a kind-hearted person because he shows so much intelligence.”

“In that sense, it’s easier to talk to Mr. Ega. He’s quick-witted.”

Although she still didn’t show any hostility, Relie was looking at me more warily than ever. At the same time, she seemed to be thinking a lot, but rather than asking what was bothering her, I decided to just wait until she sorted it out and was able to open her mouth.

The worries that continued like that continued until Tea returned after seeing off Ekaterina and served me tea. It ended only after I picked up my teacup and began to moisten my throat.

“How much do you know about the Lovell people?”

“Except for the story I just heard from Catherine… It’s just that they were once a warlike nation that had a lot of trouble with the dwarves? They didn’t intentionally isolate themselves, but I know they’re quite closed off due to the terrain and weather.”

“Most of it is true, and some of it is false. It’s not that closed off. It’s just difficult to access from the outside, but the people involved come and go without a problem. Do you remember how Catherine treated the heavy snowfall in Itisiel as a spring breeze?”

“I can’t forget it”

I was talking with a smile, but I wasn’t completely relaxed.

It is a fact that Catherine, a member of the royal family, fled her family and traveled to Itisel for some unknown reason. It is also true that Lelie helped her on that journey for some reason and that they are moving together as a community of destiny.

How could she not be nervous when she sent Ekaterina away and arranged this meeting to tell me something separately? Because of the past incident with the suicide saint Teneaci, she is actually at the peak of tension without letting it show.

“Ekaterina wants to just help and call it a day, but I’m not that kind. In return, I want you to keep quiet about what you heard today.”

“···? Isn’t that obvious?”

Am I being seen as such a person who has such a bad personality? No matter what, this is a request that is just a little bit hurtful to my pride, so at the moment when I was about to frown, Lelie shook her head slightly.

“I’m telling you this because there may be an unexpected situation. Someone from the family may come to see you.”

The question of why arose, but at the same time, I had a gut feeling that I would not hear an answer to that question.

This is clearly related to the reason for the escape that Catherine was reluctant to talk about earlier. I didn’t know how or through what contact point she was sure that someone would come to see me, but I didn’t bother asking because that was something I would know if someone really came.

Instead, I don’t think the two committed a crime, but since the past is unknown, I decided to ask just one question.

“Did you commit a crime and run away?”

For a moment, Lelie’s shoulders flinched, but her answer was quick.

“From a legal standpoint? No. From a family standpoint? Yes.”

I don’t know if there was room for lying, but at least in my opinion, it was sincere.

“Why are you flinching?”

“···She is a princess and her family is royal.·”

I was just going to let it go, but it was a good thing I asked. It seems she was worried that they might use coercive means to capture Catherine.

That could be true, because, as she said, the other party was the royal family, but it didn’t really matter to me.

I treat the royal family of my home country like shit, so why should I care about the royal family of another country?

“So, you’re saying that I didn’t break the law and didn’t commit a crime?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Okay then. Later, talk to Catherine and when you die, please give me a list of people like that.”

When I heard it, it was nothing serious, so I tried to let it go, but Lelie was really flustered. She was so dazed that she almost dropped the teacup she was holding. She quickly pulled herself together and asked me a question.

“······Huh? Yes? What list?”

“It’s a book of life and death. If there’s no life and death record, you don’t have to tell me.”

If there is no one who needs to be an exception, I am comfortable.

If you come nicely, you will go nicely, and if you come ugly, you will not be able to go back.

It’s a very simple principle.
