The Conquerors Path-Novel

Chapter 45: New Target

a small carriage arrived in the city of rosa of the Pedler kingdom, once it stopped a short person with a clock and a mask on his face got down from it

yup that was me alright, it’s been a week since i left my home, the journey on this carriage was not great, in the Sylvia realm there were 3 main ways of travel

one you could use the teleportation portals connecting different cities but that was only applicable to higher nobles, due to it’s high cost

second way was too use the fletcher company, it was mostly based on the more well to do family, where the company provides flight based travel

and the third was using the road, i could have used the 1st or 2nd option but then that would mean drawing attention from my family and that’s something which i wanted to avoid at all cost for now

getting out and stretching my body i looked around this not-so-great average city, the Pedler kingdom isn’t anything special an average kingdom thay was barely holding on, in a few years maybe a stronger kingdom might take control of them

‘well, that ain’t my problem’

getting better i took a look around and started moving to a certain place….the slum, that was my location for now

as i kept walking the surroundings started to change, the clean roads vanished and more dirt and poor people started to be seen, with my current looks i didnt draw much attention, after all in the slum shady things always happen

as i was walking through the place i ‘accidentally’ got lost, i ended up walking into an abandon alley way where a person or to be exact a ‘boy’ stood in front of me

‘his’ clothes was ragged, with many dirt and scar in ‘his’ body, nobody would give ‘him’ a second look, ‘he’ had brown hair and golden eyes, which even though had seen many cruelties still had a fighting spirit, ‘he’ looked to be about 12

yup, as you guys thought she another capture target, well not yet though, her story in a way can be pitiful, she’s a half dragon the only one of her kind to be exact

actually there cannot exist a half dragon anything, dragons are powerful and prideful but what they have the most is loyalty

if a dragon Male or female chooses a mate, then they would only have that person as their partner for life, even the most stubborn of people would lay down when the dragons falls in love, it’s also the reason why Vena wanted to kill me no matter what

this in a way was also their curse, making it so that they could only fall in love with other dragons, i mean who could watch their loved one’s turn old and die?

dragons have a huge life span that others could not match, not only that due to their high power they couldn’t impregnate other species too

if they tried the fetus would just die, that’s why even if a dragon fell i love with another species they would restrain from anything

Scarlet’s father was a dragon who had fought with another dragon earned severe injures and fainted, he was found out by Scarlet’s mother who took him in and took care of him

with time both of them fell in love but to protect scarlet’s mother he had to cut his feeling and disappear not knowing that his love had bared fruit

the game designers had given some bullshit reason that Scarlet’s mother had some draconic origin hence a child was born, as for the truth, how would i know?

anyway according to her backstory she grew up with a mother who was bed ridden, sick and poor, hence Scarlet grew taking care of her mother but she still needed to live

the only good thing was that even though she didn’t awaken her dragon power’s, she was at least 5 times stronger than a normal person

to protect herself and her mother she dressed up as a boy and started stealing to survive, if it goes according to the plot her mother would soon die, in despair she would run away

accidentally she will find a historic world left behind by a dragon who had died, seeing that she was half dragon it gave her a chance to pass it’s test, in which she did

after she had awakened her father would feel it and arrive, after that she wil grow up among the dragon’s becoming good friends with the dragons princess

Scarlet was a key piece in winning the dragon princess heart too, but right now she’s just a weak girl dressed up as a boy without anyone to support her and i plan to be that support

standing in front of me she held a knife, her eyes strong and determined, even with the dirt and the bangs surrounding her face, her small femininity can still be identified

“what are you doing?”

my rough voice sounded out, hearing it she flinched in a neutral voice that hid her gender she spoke

“give me every valuable you have if you want to live”

even though Scarlet’s instincts screamed that the person in front of her was dangerous she still did it because she had no choice, her mother’s situation was getting worse and she needed more money fast

i chuckled a bit at her threat, in the game she was a very straightforward person, due to living in the slum like this she had no manners to be excat, she was never afraid and she had the strength to back it too

but the person in front of me right now is weak and powerless , i could kill her with a thought, this really is quite a funny situation

“what’s so funny?”

my chuckle was quickly drowned by Scarlet’s shout

“nothing much it’s just that it’s funny that someone as weak as you is trying to rob me”

and before she could respond i disappeared and appeared before her, i took away the knife in her hand, twisted her hand behind her back and pushed her towards the wall

all Scarlet saw was that i disappeared and the next moment she knew she was pressed against the wall

“bastard let me go!!”

“Is that how you respond to someone who had you life in his hand”

my cold voice stopped her from moving and the reality of the situation quickly fell into her mind, she who always got away was caught

“what are you going to do with me ?”

even though she was in a bad situation, she still didn’t have any fear, i was a bit impressed

“nothing much i just came to get something”
