Episode 10: Those who protect (4)

Only two existences remained inside the Black Gaze and no signs of other protectors could be seen.

"..."

Until everything ended, the protector of Green Dragon lowered its gaze and held its words in.

They, who had lived for over hundreds of years, came to their ends in a split second and the sole remaining protector slowly opened its mouth.

"Are you not going to take my life?"

It didn't receive a response.

The killing intent covering the entirety of Black Gaze dissipated and Yu Jitae stood before the protector. He then asked.

"Don't you miss freedom?"

"...Saying I don't miss it, will be me telling a lie. However, this body was formed due to the work of the demon world, and the one that saved me from an unwanted life was my current lord."

"..."

"Since I gave my loyalty to the green race with all my heart, I do not plan to defect even at the cost of my life."

Even though its conduct was like a gangster, it talked about knighthood. After some thought, Yu Jitae walked closer and crouched down to match his line of sight with the protector.

"The purpose of your life is to protect the Green Dragon."

"...That is the case."

"But since I will be protecting the Green Dragon, your life will be meaningless, right?"

"...!"

It's crimson eyes ominously flickered.

That was true. If the dragon was being protected by a being this strong, who would dare say that they needed another guardian? Even then, the protector could not walk off on its own path.

"Aren't you a being, closer to evil?"

Well, that was true but it seemed to Yu Jitae, that the protector had completely misunderstood something.

"If there is a meaning in keeping my life, please do tell me. As long as it can provide more support in protecting the green race, I will do whatever it may be."

"'Whatever'?"

"...As long as it doesn't cause harm to the safety of Green Dragon, that will be the case."

Although he wasn't completely fond of that sentence, they had reached a decent compromise. After a bit more thought, Yu Jitae opened his mouth.

"Until the dragons finish their Amusements, act as my servant."

"Servant as in, do you mean a full obedience? Even when that does not comply with my will?"

He thought that its words were a bit stiff but he ignored it.

"Similar."
