...
I don't understand and can't believe what I'm seeing. I tried to digest the things that happened and tried to process all the information I had gathered since earlier.
"The more you use magic. The more you spend mana, the more you will torture yourself. Why did you go this far?" said Enzi. He still looked calm even though he was in a magic circle that made him unable to move.
"The color of your soul is very bad. You've experienced several lives stained with blood. O time warlock. What regrets do you have that Orazion gave you this magic?. What kind of hatred makes your soul become bad like that?. You yourself are experiencing chaos..." said Enzi again.
"Shut up!" Said His Highness Yvone.
"Shut up. Don't say strange any more things in front of small children. You're also a stupid dragon, aren't you?" His Highness Yvone continued.
Enzi seemed to understand what His Highness Yvone meant and he chose not to continue his words.
Even though I was very curious about what Enzi wanted to talk about. Why does he look like he knows a lot about His Highness Yvone? What secret does His Highness Yvone keep?. How many injuries does His Highness Yvone have from using magic?. Isn't the Orazion that Enzi talked about the name of the demon that disrupts time?. And So ...
What does it mean if His Highness Yvone has already lived several lives?.
Does that mean he was reincarnated?.
So. His Highness Yvone also a reincarnated person like me?.
And ... Does His Highness actually know that I am also a person who has been reincarnated?.
Is that the reason why he wants to marry me in the future?. But isn't that kind of reason a bit strange?.
Ah!? I don't understand. I really need a lot of information, but when I know a lot of things at once like this, I just can't understand it!. I don't know what to do first with all the information I got!.
Is this due to the effect of me being trapped in the body of a four year old child?. If only I were an adult. It seemed like I could manage all this information and relate it to each other in that moment.
Zrshhh--zrshhh--ZRSHH!.
Suddenly I heard strange sounds and my vision seemed to see a broken television set filled with black and white and colorful glitches so mixed up that it made my head hurt looking at it. This was the same sensation as when I had hidden memories where I remembered Uncle Axel killing me with magic.
It felt like my head was doing something to overcome the debugging that occurred due to information overload.
But is it really because of information overload?.
Or maybe I'm affected by the side effects of His Highness Yvone's distortion magic because I'm in his artificial dimension?. His Highness Yvone's magic must also have side effects, right?. But I just found out that the side effect of using my time magic is reducing my age.
I can't think anymore.
"There's no point in you wasting so much energy on me. Give up and stop using your magic. You've almost reached your maximum limit--"
"Give up?. Are those words appropriate to be said by a foreign figure who is trying to encourage a small child so that she continues to use her magic in order to fight for what she wants to achieve?" His Highness Yvone interrupted.
"Aren't you a little unfair?. Why you don't encourage me to use my magic too?. I also use my magic to fight, right?" His Highness Yvone continued.
"That's because I pity you. Your use of magic could threaten your life--" Enziel's words were cut off again by His Highness' laughter.
Ha!
HA HA!
HA HA HA!
"You said, you feel sorry for me because my magic can make me die?. Very funny. So, aren't you also aware that magic like that is also possessed by the little child you encouraged earlier to use it?!. Actually, you want her to die, right?!. Damn dragon!"
BAM!!
His Highness Yvone opened the magic circle again then brutally attacked the dragon Enzi. It was a terrible sight. My body shook watching all those scenes.
For the first time, I saw His Highness' face filled with such anger. He was like a wild animal on a rampage.
But I felt that his attitude was an expression filled with overflowing emotions that couldn't be explained with just words and tears. Like a feeling that only the person himself can understand.
My heart throbbed with pain. The time when you don't have anyone who can understand your feelings, that's something that really makes my chest feel very tight. And things like that cannot be explained to anyone. Can only keep it all to your self.
I remembered His Highness Yvone's face which was usually decorated with a smile because she always smiled when she met me.
But. Now I feel that all the smiles that His Highness Yvone makes are just beautiful fakes to cover up countless wounds.
Maybe he himself no longer remembers whether he has a wound or not so he can make a smile that looks without any burden in it. It was as if he was living in peace. But all of that was just a fake that he made up himself.
Suddenly, I felt like hugging His Highness Yvone. I want to understand him if no one else can understand his feelings.
His Highness' attacks continued. There was a killing aura covering him. Even though I can't understand all of His Highness Yvone's intentions, I can feel that she is like this because he wants to protect me. But why does he seem too obsessive like that to protect me?.
I saw that none of His Highness Yvone's attacks were able to injure Enzi's dragon. Even though Enzi didn't move from his place because he was trapped in the magic trap that His Highness had created.
Meanwhile, as Enzi said earlier. His Highness Yvone's condition after using a lot of mana for that attack magic looked worse. If what Enzi said was true, then His Highness was in danger. I have to stop it!.
I tried to get out of the barrier that I don't know who made. I tried to decipher the runes that made up this protective magic with great effort because I had not yet learned the basic practice of Dariaz's final stage of magic, namely the way to remove and destroy magic.
Armed only with knowledge from books, I tried to put all the theory into practice and 'pyarr!' I succeeded in breaking the chain of runes that make up this protective magic.
"Your Highness!. Stop!. Stop!"
I shouted as I ran towards His Highness Yvone who seemed almost enveloped in madness. I hope he is still conscious and immediately stops all attacks when he hears my voice.
Luckily my wish came true. His Highness Yvone immediately turned around when he heard my voice and he stopped his attack just as I reached his and hugged his legs. Well, I'm still short. So I can only hug at the level of his feet.
"Young Lady?!. Why are you here--"
"Don't use magic anymore!. Stop attacking Enzi!"
"Enzi?. Ah, I guess that's the name of that stupid dragon up ahead, huh?" His Highness muttered.
Instead of stopping. After he learned the name of the dragon Enzi, His Highness Yvone grinned and ignored me. He returned to focusing on his magic. I don't know what other magic he used, but I could feel a very large pool of mana gathering around me and it seemed like His Highness was planning to use high level magic.
ROARR!!!
Kyaaa!.
My surprised scream couldn't be heard because it was lost to the dragon's very loud voice. His Highness Yvone just took out his dragon totem again.
Does he intend to use his totem to fight the dragon Enzi?.
In that case, wouldn't he make one family fight against another?. They are both bloody dragons, right?. They are of the same race and that means one family.
Finally the totem attacked Enzi's dragon, but Enzi did not fight back. He only tried to survive by making himself covered in amethyst crystal armor.
But His Highness Yvone's dragon totem was so strong that the amethyst crystal armor that seemed very hard started to crack. Along with the sound of 'crack!' Another large magic circle appeared with a frux rune arrangement above Enzi's head.
"So that's how you make it your totem, but I'm sorry. You won't be able to make me a Totem like him. I don't belong to anyone, not even myself..." said Enzi when he noticed the appearance of a magic circle above his head.
Bruk!.
I was shocked when all the magic His Highness Yvone used just disappeared. But I was more worried because His Highness suddenly fell. The color of his face was very pale, almost like a corpse-- someone who had just died.
What happened?. Has he lost his powers?!. So what about the totem?!. He could get out of control his totem and His Highness could really die!.
"Your Highness!. Your Highness!"
I shook his body, but he didn't respond at all. I'm starting to worry. He's not dead, right?. He just fainted, right?!.
In the midst of my panic, I heard a brief conversation between Enzi and His Highness Yvone's dragon totem.
I saw that the chains that restrained Enzi had come off and he had returned to his human form, but for some reason Enzi's face and body seemed to be filled with thin lines as if Enzi's skin was made of barren land that had cracks.
Was it because of the attack from His Highness Yvone dragon totem earlier?. And I saw that the magical chains that restrained the totem were still there. That means the totem won't get out of control, right?.
"That's my only request. Please tell him, Enzi..."
"Yes Your Majesty ..."
"Don't make a face like that. I am alright. After all it was my choice to enter into a soul contract with him..."
After that, His Highness Yvone's dragon totem turned into a red ball of light and floated into His Highness Yvone's body.
I don't know whether it was my imagination or not, but before the dragon totem turned into a ball of light, he turned to me and smiled at me.
The dragon's smile made me think of Mommy.
This is strange ...
How can I suddenly remember your mom's smile which is clearly not a dragon?.
The dimensional space that His Highness Yvone created disappeared and he remained unconscious.
"Your Highness Yvone ... get up!. Your Highness!" I continued to shake his body. Tears started to fall from my eyes.
"Cellia. I have to go now. You don't need to worry about him. He is still alive. He was only affected by the dragon's blessing curse and you don't need to worry about your magic either. He won't be able to create a seal for your magic because he won't be able to use magic for a while..." said Enzi as he approached me and I could breathe a sigh of relief. At least His Highness is still alive and I will be able to use my magic as originally intended.
Before Enzi really left. I dared to ask him because of my curiosity.
"Enzi. Is that a cursed dragon's blessing?" I asked. I've been thinking about that ever since, actually.
