The young lord Stan · ❀ [ON HIATUS]

Chapter 37

Edel bidded goodbye with Cale's group after Hannah's recovery. The pair of siblings tried to convince him to come with them (specifically only Jack spoke, and Hannah seemed likely to approve of the idea), but they were certainly not in the position to offer something.

Cale proposed it as well, grudgingly, because he hates baggage (even if it may be useful), and Edel was able to understand the hidden meaning that the Young Master was trying to convey, so he warmly refused.

The young lord did it mostly because he was a bit afraid of Eruhaben.

Sure the ancient dragon won't hurt him, he even treated Edel as a good child till a certain point, but our protagonist is still quite afraid of him. 

Eruhaben every once would impose him to stay, the reason being he was a rare research specimen. But the young noble would literally shit on himself, thinking he may have enraged the great being and resulting in him directly going to the afterlife.

Basically:

Eruhaben: Hey. You punk, come here I need to confirm something about you.

Edel: *runs faster than Cale's slacker life*

(A.N. Yay! We live for misunderstandings!)

So Edel ran away from the vicious individuals of Cale's group, and reclutantly left a code of his personal video communication device to the Young Master, so they would be able to call each other in future.

"Ra-."

"Don't talk to me."

"Hmm?"

Cale flinched.

Raon's shoulders were down as he flew in. There was no strength as his wings fluttered. Raon's eyes were down as well.

Rather than flying, Raon was actually floating with his paws down as if he had no energy.

"Why is he like this?"

Cale had never seen Raon like this before.

At that moment, one more person entered the room. No, another Dragon entered the room.

"Eruhaben-nim."

It was the Gold Dragon, Eruhaben.

Eruhaben peeked toward Raon before looking back toward Cale and starting to speak.

"Ahem, hem. I'm not saying this because I was the one to teach him."

"Excuse me?"

"He is pretty smart. He learned things that he should learn in three months in just one month."

"Why is he suddenly telling me this?"

Cale could not understand Eruhaben's random comment and Raon's depressed appearance. Eruhaben continued to speak as if he could not see the confusion on Cale's face.

Eruhaben also seemed to be confused.

"But he is not growing."

"...What?"

"Now what is he saying?"

Eruhaben started to speak as if he had no idea what was going on.

"He's not reaching his first growth phase."

"Hmm?"

"It should be time, so what is going on? He needs to create the plate in order for his body to grow as well."

Cale finally understood what was going on. He turned his head to look at Raon and the two made eye contact.

"...Human, don't talk to me."

Raon then crawled underneath the blanket.

"...But I am great, so I will still do what I need to do."

He then proceeded to connect the video communication device.

Cale saw that the video communication device was glowing blue with Raon's magic before turning his gaze over to the bed.

A lump the size of Raon was now at the center of the blanket.

Eruhaben sighed before leaving the room while Cale looked toward Alberu's face that was over the video communication device on the opposite side of the room.

...the fact is they will never discover that the reason of why Raon was not able to grow properly was due to Edel's previous research and potions made to weaken his little body.
