The tragedy had came to an end.
Even though the enemies had been attacking aggressively none of the students were killed which can be said as lucky.
Angela, who was lost, was eventually found in the mausoleum in one piece.
The room that Angela found was immediately sealed and the palace had sent knights to prevent anyone from entering.
They would probably ask the archaeologists to take charge of the investigations in the near future.
The students, who were previously scheduled to return to Ansarivan, still remain at Allonnes Lakeside.
Most of the students were helping to rebuild the dragon house that burned down.
Under Rebeccaâs supervision the rebuilding project was progressing smoothly. The dragons were also full of renewed spirit as they helped in the rebuilding project.
The only downside was that Ash was confined in the infirmary.
Ash's injuries had of course worsened when he joined Lucca in performing the Dragon Riding Dance. The whole time, when he was riding on Gawain, he suffered repeatedly from strong centrifugal forces. It is expected that his body will experience this degree of pain, because he was seriously injured beforehand.
It had already been the third day since Lucca started to take care of him.
The way she took care of him could only be describe with the word 'overly pampered'.
Not only did she boil and prepare the herbs, she had collected from Norg Forest, for Ash she also fed him, helped him change and damped off his sweat.
She had also stayed with him the entire time⊠Ash was happy that Lucca was pampering him but, for her to be with him for the whole time, this had also caused him some other troubles...
âI will take my rest first, Ash. If you need anything please donât hesitate to wake me up.â
It was two oâclock on the third day and Lucca had started to feel sleepy. This is the time for her afternoon nap. She wore her one-piece pajama stark naked which made her look a little sexy. It seems that the afternoon nap is an important routine in the Eckbaldsâs daily life. Ash had gotten used to it after three days.
âAnyway⊠She addressed me in my own name!â
Lucca had only addressed Gawain and Rebecca in their names in the past. This change made Ash felt embarrassed.
Looking at her face, Ash suddenly remembered something important.
âThatâs right, I remembered that LuccaâŠâ
The incident when he went to the Merk house had appeared in his mind.
âCould it be that⊠She is not wearing anything right now?â
Just when Ash let his thoughts wander, the door suddenly opened.
Eco was the person who opened the door. Different from the rest of the student council members, Eco had nothing to do and will come visit him once in a while.
But it was only in names sake that she was visiting him. In reality, it had always become an argument.
âWait a moment, why would both of you sleep together!â
Today was no exception. Once she saw Lucca sleeping, Eco became mad.
âCould you please calm down? Lucca must have been thinking that she was responsible for my injuries so she takes care of me. What were you thinking about?â
âEven so, you donât have to sleep together!â
âWhat!⊠Arenât you also the same for taking my bed?â Ash grumbled the complaintâŠ
Eco then squinted her eyes. âWhat did you say?â
âN-Nothing⊠I said nothing at all.â
But Ash and Eco, who were too noisy, caused Lucca to turn her back over.
Lucca still looking sleepy sat up.
âYou⊠Iâll never forgive you! Do you know that fella over there is my meat slave!â
Eco jumped onto the bed and showed her teeth to Lucca while trying to catch her.
But Lucca is a girl who grew up in the forest. Even though she was still sleepy she is still agile. She easily pushed Ecoâs hand to one side and moved to her back.
At the same time Eco shouted in surprised, Lucca showed her own rows of white teeth.
Moving swiftly and with a âHmuâ, she gently bit Ecoâs horn.
Eco had lost her strength. This was, next to the herb Ansal, one of her weakness. If not for his friendship with Lucca he would never have learned of this vulnerability.
âErr, am I able to learn⊠This technique?â
ââŠThis is one of the techniques used to discipline dragons. Even though it was created by the Eckbalds anyone is still able to learn it.â
âIs it. Huhu⊠Eco.â
Ash was smiling evilly. Seriously speaking, hes been kept on this bed for three days and was bored with it.
âHold on! You⊠Want tooâŠ!â
âS-Stop! Iâll never allow it! If you even dare to try it⊠Iâll trample you flat!â
âDonât be afraid. I just want to have a try. Anyway, donât you also want to know the results? Since you're my pal!â
âWha⊠What are you joking about!â
Eco wanted to run off but she couldnât.
Because Lucca had carried her over by her waist and passed her to Ash. That action is just like an owner handing his dogs or cats to another person.
âYou⊠You obviously only see me as a dragon!â
âThatâs only because you have horns!â
âWhat did you say⊠Uhmm!â
Ecoâs anger had ended right here.
Because Ash, just like Lucca had, bit her round horn.
Ecoâs whole body trembled the moment Ash bit her horn.
Ecoâs whole body trembled the moment Ash nipped her horn.
The feeling was different from when Lucca nibbled it. It was in a totally different league by itself.
The moment Ash's teeth touched her horn Eco felt her whole body electrified. Her body was jerking nonstop and was unable to even think straight.
âE-Even when it had said that⊠You mustn't bite my hornsâŠ!â
Itâs hot. Her cheeks were hot. Her body was also hot. Thereâs a particular feeling that was rising up from her lower tummy.
Why will my body feel so hot⊠When it is Ash?
âP-Please⊠Stop, I beg you⊠If you keep on with itâŠ!â
Being hugged by Ash while her horn was bitten.
Eco can only continue to beg and struggle, her breathing became heavy...
