(EP-111.1) Legacy #2
111 – Demon King’s Legacy #2
Aira ran her finger across the stone wall.
“It’s a magic relic. But since it’s been abandoned and neglected for a long time, it naturally broke down.”
Aira explained why the door didn’t open and we got locked up inside. It was but a technical issue, nothing more.
Something like this was beyond our control.
However, to the Draco Family who had been managing the place, it was an insult. It was no different than directly telling her, ‘You got trapped because you didn’t manage it properly.’
So Mirna naturally got angry and said to Aira.
“What abandoned? You wouldn’t be able to talk like that if you knew just how much care and dedication the Draco Family has put into maintaining this place.”
“But it broke down in the end. To be fair, it is impossible for you to truly maintain it.” ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
“What do you mean?”
Mirna frowned and was flushed red, looking like a goblin that didn’t suit her pretty face at all.
However, Aira continued with her words without caring whether Mirna was angry or not.
“Managing a ruin left ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) by Angmar would be impossible for the current Draco Family, especially with only one member left. You can’t handle the Demon King’s creation by yourself.”
“So, are you saying you can, Aira Tarantera?”
At Mirna’s provocative question, Aira looked around. I was expecting the arrogant Aira to say yes.
“It’s impossible even for me right now...”
But surprisingly, Mirna meekly acknowledged her limitations.
If it was the tyrant Aira of before, she would never have done anything like admitting her shortcomings.
I couldn’t help but wonder if Aira was learning the virtue of ‘humility’.
However, she added right after.
“If I can’t do it, then no one can. Hence, It’s simply impossible.”
‘Well now...’
It seemed that Aira still considered herself above all.
“In this case, it would be better to close the dungeon. You’ve experienced it yourself, so I think you can understand why without me telling you. Right, Mirna?”
Aira decided to seal the dungeon.
It was a pity that the mysteries awaiting to be discovered here would be buried under the earth.
But like what Aira said, we’d already been trapped once. I wouldn’t dare to wander around such a risky place even if I had more than one life.
“Break.”
When we were all out of the dungeon, Aira chanted a spell. Immediately, the earth started rumbling, before everything beyond the thick door crumbled.
Aira ‘closed’ the dungeon, literally.
She did it like how she casually smashed through the room we got trapped in. As expected, Aira was strong...
“I’m glad you’re okay, Theo.”
Aira informed me that tonight was Sunday. Since we entered on Saturday morning, we’d been locked up for about two days.
Sitting on the comfy sofa back at the Draco Family mansion, I asked Aira.
“So, Aira-nim. How did you find out we got trapped?”
“The Queen’s eyes are everywhere.”
At Aira’s simple answer, Mirna, who was sitting next to me and resting, angrily said.
“Did you plant a bug in my mansion?”
“Yes.”
Aira nodded.
Then something fell down from the ceiling and settled on Aira’s shoulder. It was an ugly looking spider, with a black body and slender legs.
━Hioong.
