The Dragon King's Favorite Person [Vol.1]

Chapter 6

Translator/Editor : Léabyss

Stained glass windows depicting the figure of a white dragon are illuminated on the back wall to allow us to travel. If we crossed from Shirasagi castle to Lütbya, the frog said that we would inevitably have to go to the temple that consecrates the Dragon King. Just out of courtesy.

The place has an arched ceiling with figures of dragons and pillars finely decorated in white silverware. When I turned my head to the right, I discovered that there were also many brightly colored flowers around the altar in the center of the room. I noticed that they were changed carefully, maybe every day. The light that spills through the window is white … It is the brightness of the sun! Something that I feel in my hands after a long time without exposing myself to it.

When I closed my eyes in the intense glow, nostalgia enveloped me warmly before I heard the impressive voice of a man in the distance saying:

“What are you doing here?”

“Oh, it’s the head priest.”

What surprised me was seeing a tall man with almost yellow skin. His hair is a strong indigo color, reaching to his shoulders, and like Ryuo-sama, he has beautiful, deeply carved features. However, the impression it gives is different due to its color.

Age is probably … early to mid-thirties. He wears something like a knee-length white garment. Its seams had gold and blue embroidery and a silver necklace on the chest.

He rushed across the room, sliding his long legs and massive feet across the floor.

As he got closer, I could see that his height was about 8 inches taller than mine and also, he seemed to be quite well trained. I understood it by the tension in his clothes around his torso and on his hips.

Suddenly, without explanation, he leaned his body in front of me and dropped his head:

“Yellow … We have been waiting for a long time for the new “Favorite” of your highness.”

Kou then introduced me.

“Director, this is Earth. He is the favorite of Ryuo, who appeared for the first time in more than 100 years.”

“Earth-sama … My name is Custadio Lao Tiahadan and I am the Priesthood Director in this sacred Temple of Recatobia that consecrates the Dragon King. Call me Custadio, just Custadio.”

“I’m Ri … Oh, I’m Earth. Raise your head, please.”

That strange name is repeated in my mind. Custadio, Custadio … The sound of foreign names is hard to remember right away.

Custadio slowly raises his face and looks me straight ahead for the first time. He narrowed his eyes and raised his eyebrows.

“Wow.”

A person other than Ryuo and the frogs, is staring at my face. The person’s expression was not so marked, but I was surprised by the unusual appearance he had taken on thanks to me. Of course, he did it in a bad way.

My chest hurts.

However, he seemed to be a very polite priest and only smiled:

“It’s been a long time since a favorite was discovered.”

“Yes I know …”

What should I do?

My heart is weak.

A few minutes ago, Ryuo-sama adored me, he said sweet things to me and I was in contact with frogs as if we were old friends. I was able to talk to them normally and it was even fun and comfortable.
