The Response to my Drunken Proposal was Surprisingly Good

Chapter 49-60:Sun Elixir(1-12 Conclusion)

Hedera's gaze swept across the faces of the dragon-people.

A mixture of suspicion, doubt, and all sorts of negativity were swirling on their faces. After all, they were the ones who didn't want Hedera to succeed in the first place.

But Ezekiel was different.

Ezekiel's gaze was devoid of even a hint of negativity; his eyes were filled with boundless trust, as if Hedera's success was a foregone conclusion.

...Hedera suddenly looked back at herself.

Hedera, who had lived her life accepting that she was a slow learner, suddenly had an incredible talent bestowed upon her one day. Since then, she had only honed her talent, nothing more.

In other words, she had never truly pushed beyond her limits.

But there was one person who consistently challenged her.

Only Ezekiel pushed Hedera to her limits, compelling her to grow step by step. Always.

Dragons were transcendent beings who looked down upon the entire continent.

Their immense power needed no explanation; they were embodiments of wisdom, guided solely by reason and intuition.

Just as a Dragon breaks free from the small world of its egg to greet the larger world, Hedera too had to break out of the small worlds she had confined herself to in order to pass the ascension ceremony.

And today, Ezekiel had once again assumed the role of Hedera's Master, much like he had years ago.

Hedera had been skillfully avoiding this reality. She had been neglecting the development of the ancient dragon language, pacifying herself with vague, ambiguous reasons. She was afraid to face her own lack of talent.

".............."

Once more, she surveyed her surroundings.

She saw Ezekiel, radiating infinite trust in her, and the others, brimming with expectation.

As she watched this scene...

Ssssss—

A warmth began to rise from the depths of Hedera's heart. It quickly transformed into a distinct energy. After a long time, her passion had reignited.

Time passed by, and dawn was soon approaching.

Hedera, who had wrapped herself in moonlight like a robe, finally placed her hand on the stone tablet. It was an ordinary gesture, devoid of any special meaning.

However.

Hum— Hum—

The ancient tablet began to resonate and respond. The eyes of those watching widened in amazement.

"Resonance!"

"The stone tablet is reacting!"

As tension and anticipation intensified, Hedera's energy stalled, unable to progress further.

"Hah..."

Her breathing was labored. Indeed, this was the ancient dragon language. It was clear why it was known for its extreme difficulty.

Everyone looked at the Second Princess with anxious expressions.

After a moment, Gromon spoke up.

"Princess, is something wrong?"

The dragon-person smiled meaningfully and continued, "I've heard that the ancient dragon language isn't something that can be mastered through effort alone. Talent plays a crucial role. It would be a shame to leave things as they are, wouldn't it?"
