"Oh... you mean from the past?" Lithira said nonchalantly as if she already knew about Brigantiea's history.
"You know?"
"Of course, about the darkness, how my mother was an empress who wanted to take over the world, the Great Inferno Dragon," Lithira answered, then realized her mistake.
For the dragon, her mother's doing was awesome, but not for human beings. So she was taken aback by her nonchalant words and tried to fix it, saying:
"Ah, sorry, it's not that—my mother isn't that bad!" She sounded scared that Lucien would be terrified of the truth.
But he sighed in relief instead. "I see... So it won't be a disaster to tell you that she kidnapped me."
Lithira's mouth dropped open in shock. "She what?!" She stood up, anger flashing in her eyes. "Why didn't you tell me?!"
"So Brigantiea almost destroying the whole world isn't a problem, but Avalerry kidnapping me is, huh?" he murmured, feeling conflicted about revealing the truth.
