[RenĂ©e’s POV]
“Everyone is suffering for my personal reasons.”
The answer came from Reden.
I thought it might be a grandiose reason, but it was more selfish than I thought, so I frowned without realizing it.
“You’re a selfish boss. Don’t bully your subordinates.”
“No, RenĂ©e. It’s because I want to. I also want all the dragons to disappear.”
“Why?”
Anastasia just laughed.
“Anyway, what shall we do? Even if it’s not just Your Majesty’s orders, it would certainly be dangerous to leave the lady alone. It’s ridiculous that I didn’t think of it until now.”
Zion restored the subject to its original state.
Seeing him with a serious expression on his face, I was quite touched. It was because I was grateful that he cared about me even though I hadn’t seen him in a long time.
‘Shouldn’t you hate me for slapping you on the first time we met
’
But far from being reluctant to me, he always treats me politely.
What is it? The reason why Sir Zion, who is probably one of the male lead candidates, is so kind to me
 

‘I see! Do I look like Anastasia’s friend? So! So to score points!’
Probably not. Zion doesn’t seem interested in people around him, but he probably doesn’t know who I am.
Poking here and there like a ruffian, would Renée Blair and Anastasia look like friends?
“There must be two ways. Take turns escorting the lady or going with her.”
“Let’s hear it before then. Where is the supposed Dragon Lair? I didn’t hear it.”
When Zion expressed his opinion, Diwen immediately asked.
His gaze was on Reden.
“It’s in Heronimo.”
Heronimo?
It was a moment when I muttered something as if I had heard it before. Aiden narrowed his eyes.
“What nonsense is there for a Dragon Lair to be in Heronimo?”
“Heronimo, in the northern part of the Kingdom of Konia? That’s ridiculous. I understand that there are no more lairs in the Konia Kingdom.”
Not only Aiden, but Diwen also refuted it as if they thought it was nonsense.
Anastasia held up the prepared teacup. However, she did not drink it and opened her mouth while looking at the reddish tea water.
“We were also surprised to feel it in Heronimo. To be exact, I felt it in the Heronimo Mountains, which occupy the majority of the Heronimo territory.”
“If it’s the Heronimo Mountains, do you mean the mountain covered with ice caps?”
Anastasia nodded at Diwen’s question.
“If it were in the Konia Kingdom, there is no way that the Hugo Knights would not have wiped out, it felt like it was brazen, but I also investigated it. As it turned out, it was recorded that there was a lair 20 years ago.”
Twenty years ago.
It was before Anastasia and I were born.
TL/N: Oh! Now we know the females are younger than 20
“But one day, it disappeared. That’s why we couldn’t give a definite answer either. As you know, dragons don’t come back to where they left once.”
“Isn’t it possible that another dragon has taken up residence?”
“Usually, dragons don’t stay where other dragons lived. Because they hate each other.”
Anastasia answered my question kindly.
I see. They’re weird kids.

“Heronimo
”
At that time, Zion muttered and covered his mouth with his hand with a rare nervous expression.
What’s wrong?
It was the moment when I stared at him without realizing it. Aiden interrupted in an incomprehensible tone.
“The situation is going strangely. I understand you guys were looking for Dragon Lairs as well as Dragon Bones, but wasn’t the first priority to recover Dragon Bones?”
Unlike his rough voice, his expression was very gentle.
But do you know? The most terrifying thing is to be cold with a smile on your face.
“I don’t know why Dragon Lairs are considered more important.”
“It looks like it’s connected, so it is.”
Connected?
At Reden’s unexpected words, everyone except Anastasia looked at him.
Unlike me, the burdensome gazes did not seem to matter.
“The mana surrounding the mountain was so fierce and intense that I couldn’t pinpoint it, but there were several mana properties that I felt.”
“What are the attributes?”
There was a sudden silence in what I said. I felt the strange atmosphere on my skin.
Asking what the properties are

. I guess I can’t!
While having a small realization, Aiden looked at me with his eyes narrowed.
“I wouldn’t call that a question.”
“It’s not like she shouldn’t ask questions. Maybe RenĂ©e doesn’t know.”
It was Anastasia who answered, not me. Then Aiden laughed. Only the expression, of course.
“You may not know what you learned in the past?”
“She learned it a long time ago, so she might not remember it.”
“How can you not remember? No, it is. Even if you don’t remember, isn’t that basic common sense? There are books about magic all over the place.”
“I want you to remind yourself that RenĂ©e is not a wizard.”
Hey, guys. Are you fighting for me?
I was just about to say I’m sorry for asking. Reden, who had been speechless because of me, stayed in the middle as if he was lost in thought, then separated the conversation between the two.
“My younger sister has long been not interested in magic since she was young. You don’t know, so just move on.”
Reden, who stopped their verbal fight, looked at me this time.
“Still, it’s absurd to be a wizard’s younger sister and not know the attributes.”
Ah, so you’re gonna explain?
But what he said afterward was not what I wanted.
“I don’t have time to explain it to you, so look for a book later.”
TL/N: BAHAHA ALL THAT ARGUING FOR NOTHING
Yeah, I got it, you damn brother.
As I put on a sullen expression, Aiden, who had been disapproving for a short time, opened his mouth.
“So

 if there are multiple attributes, does that mean there are several dragons?”
It was about asking about Reden’s words, which were cut off because of me. Reden shook his head.
“No. Other attributes of mana that I felt mixed with the main attribute were ridiculously weak for a dragon. But

”
“It was just as magical as the power of a dragon bone.”
Diwen, who had been silent for a while, continued Reden’s words.
If that’s true, as Reden said, it’s related to the dragon bone incident.
“As expected, It must be true that the dragon stole the dragon bones.”
In the end, my guess is correct.
There is one thing here that I can’t quite understand.
“Then why is the dragon after me?”
A chilly silence like midwinter weather lingered over my murmurs that were close to me talking to myself.
Cough, I guess I shouldn’t have mumbled. I should’ve kept it to myself.
Fortunately, this time, Anastasia quickly broke the silence and restored the subject to its original state.
“Whatever it is, it’s dangerous as long as the dragon is after RenĂ©e. Let’s get back to the main point. What should we do?”
I felt like I had become a burden for some reason, so I couldn’t say anything and I kept my mouth shut.
Unexpectedly, Diwen gave an opinion.
“Even if it’s cumbersome, we’d better take turns escorting her. It’s dangerous to take her, and we’re not going out to play.”
“It is impossible to protect RenĂ©e with only a few people as long as it is clear that the opponent is not a half-dragon, but a dragon.”
“How does she accompany us to the Heronimo Mountains? In the cold

.”
“Stop.”
When Diwen and Anastasia had a fierce conversation, Reden cut them off.
“I’ve already decided. She will come with us.”
“Marquis, you’re out of your mind.”
Diwen muttered quietly in an absurd voice.
What are you thinking? As Diwen said, it was impossible for me to follow to Heronimo. If I follow them to a place like that, it’s only for a moment that I really become a burden.
I was seriously contemplating whether I should train myself before going to Heronimo.
“Heronimo, the estate of the Blair family.”
Reden spoke briefly, and only then did I understand why the name Heronimo was familiar.

At the same time, something passing by like a kaleidoscope.
‘Originally, it’s cold here all year round, but a few years ago, there was a warm season like this.’
‘Is your name Anastasia? But you are very pretty

. You look like a main character.’
‘Here! This is my secret place! If you look down like this, the house and castle look very small?’
It’s not like you came all the way here and don’t know what this is.
Things that sometimes pass through my mind as if someone is showing them.
What is called a flash of longing, as if things that have been long forgotten are coming to mind.
Things that deserve to be called memories, both artificial and vivid.
I know.
‘It’s the memory of RenĂ©e Blair.’
“It’s been a long time since I visited, but the servants are always managing it, so there won’t be any major inconvenience in staying. Isn’t it the same for you all to have no place to stay in Heronimo?”
As if Anastasia knew, she just drank tea in silence despite Reden’s words. Reden looked at me one after another.
“Let’s go after a long time.”
From those words, I could tell that the place called Heronimo was very important or precious to ‘RenĂ©e Blair’ and Reden Blair.
So I had to be reluctant. There are times when RenĂ©e Blair’s memories come to mind like short stories, but most of the things I don’t know.
You can’t go to Heronimo and show any strange signs.
“Eung.”
Nevertheless, I answered. I said I’d go.
Because I wanted to go even if I put aside everything else.
As if I were really Renée Blair.

[RenĂ©e’s POV]
Should I have just said I wouldn’t go

.
I rubbed my sleepy eyes and regretted my past decision. It was already the twelfth time as of today.
It’s been a few days since I decided to go to Heronimo, but I’m not going right away. I don’t know, but I have to prepare for this and that.
However, as a non-combatant, I had nothing to prepare, so I had to go to the palace every morning with Reden before I left for the journey. Because it bothers him when I’m left alone.
That’s where the problem came from.
I have nothing to do at the palace. From Reden, Anastasia, and Aiden to Diwen and Zion, there must be a mountain of things to do, but I had nothing to do.
It took a day or two in the office of Reden, but the sensation of sitting on the thorn cushion was no longer a concern.
‘Reden, is there anything I can do? Do you have anything to prepare before you go?’
Then Reden recommended the Royal Library.
PLEASE Read only at PM Translations
Ah, since I look bored, did you recommend the library to me?
‘Go study magic.’
It wasn’t.
My damn older brother recommended a library for his younger sister who doesn’t even know the properties of magic.
I can’t believe it wasn’t just empty words to tell me to read a book.
That’s how I visited the royal library, where there were only librarians and no visitors, and read a book.
Reden recommended the library, but he didn’t recommend the book, so I had to find magic-related books myself.
It’s been five hours since I opened one of the ten books I found.
Do you know?
Sunny weather, chirping birds, and the fact that reading in a quiet royal library makes me feel sleepy like crazy.
I did. I couldn’t even read half of it for five hours because I was dozing off. That was the reality.
‘I’m doomed. Why am I so slow? I like reading novels. Reading novels before going to bed was the joy of my life. ‘But why
.’
I rubbed my sleepy eyes again and tried to open them wide.
But the white one is the writing, the black one is the paper..
.
No. the white one is paper, the black one is writing, and there was not a single thing that actually came into my head.
Is it like this because it’s not a novel?
In the end, I picked up a novel recommended by the librarian to wake up.
And deep regrets flooded in.
Why am I doing this? I should just shut up and spend some time in Reden’s office. No, I’d just say I’m not going to Heronimo!
I was on my way back to my place, grumbling like a child.
“Miss RenĂ©e, I guess you’re interested in magic.”
“Kkuagh!”
The sudden voice in my ear made me forget that it was a library, and I screamed and clung to the wall.
And.
Pok.
“Ouch.”
In shock, the novel that I missed flew through the air and landed on the head of the one that surprised me.
“Huk, I’m sorry. Horaisha!”
It was none other than Horaisha.
