T/L: Yurika
E/D: Spirit Song + Castle
The Empress also follows with a story about a tradition in port towns dating back to the time of the Astra Empire, which is the offering of a ring to the green dragon during the summer festival. The chosen young man throws the gold ring into the sea and asks for her hand in marriage, saying these lines: “O Beautiful One, I give you this ring as a token of my love and vow that it shall be yours forever.”
She also continued that if a young man is suitable in the eyes of the green dragon, they will appear before him in the form of a beautiful woman.
3rd POV
“My, that sure is a romantic tradition!”
Ekaterina can’t help but exclaim in surprise.
It’s like the story about [Marriage of the Sea] in Venice in her previous life. There, the head of the city-state of Venice would say, “I wed thee, O sea, so that you may be mine forever,” and throw a ring into the sea.
As a result, after doing this for hundreds of years, it is now said that the sea level of Venice is rising year by year and the city will eventually sink into the sea, indicating the fate of a man who swore the oath and was captured by a woman with deep compassion.
“It is beautiful and peaceful to offer love instead of defeating it. I wonder if we could make peace with the Ancient Dragon by offering him an offering like that.” (Ekaterina)
Ekaterina was hinting that it’s a clue to trigger a hidden route to ‘capture’ Vlad Fallen, the Demon Dragon King, a hidden character in the otome game who was also known as the Ancient Dragon.
The Demon Dragon King, who she only saw on the search screen in her previous life, was a black-haired, red-eyed handsome man. He was so attractive that for a moment, it made her want to “attack” him.
Ekaterina’s POV
I didn’t want to attack him though, because my brother was more striking to my taste. I liked him enough to want to support him in life, even though he wasn’t the target of capture and only said a few words beside the villainess.
Anyway, the Ancient Dragon is angry because of the destruction of the forest, and now the Green Dragon is also angry because of the pollution of the ocean? Based on my knowledge from my previous life, it seems that these powerful dragons play the role of guardian gods that keep the Yurigran Empire sustainable. Thank you for doing so.
“I suppose even the sun would come down from its heavenly throne if Ekaterina offered her ring and sought for love.”
The emperor says with a smiling face.
“It is a great honor for me to receive such words from His Majesty.” (Ekaterina)
The emperor’s flattery skills are quite on par with my brother’s. Though unlike my brother, even though it is clear that it is only a remark as lip service, but even so, it was still stylish. I guess he’s been trained in this type of communication.
I wonder if this is what the prince will become one day…….m-maybe it is better if he stays the way he is.
“Whether it is an Ancient Dragon or the sun, I will not give my sister to them. Even if they come down from the heavens, I will challenge them to a duel.”
Alexei said, muffled.
I’m sorry about that, brother. I’m sorry for turning into such a siscon for me.
“Well, brother. If you want to fight a duel, I’ll be more than happy to help you.”
