Chapter 118 – The Omerta family’s paranoid conspiracy theories about the ice dragon

The relaxing atmosphere made breakfast time pass quickly and it was soon followed by dessert.

Rich, sweet cocoa with floating marshmallows along with a snow-white cream cake were desserts perfect for a snowy morning.

But it seemed that I was the only one who thought so.

Even Elenia seemed to be distracted by something.

“Are these desserts father’s taste?”

“What are you suddenly unhappy about? The daughter-in-law likes it.”

“Since when did you start liking them…”

“Didn’t I like them back then as well?”

“What are you talking about when you say ‘back then’?”

“I had the same taste back then but there are some desserts that I only recently started liking.”

The Duke, who responded slowly, sipped a glass of wine and gracefully gestured towards the attendants.

The pale faced attendants that had been actively moving about left their positions.

I was a little worried that Izek, who was staring at my cup of hot cocoa as if it was poisoned, might overturn the table as it is, but fortunately that didn’t happen.

However, the veins bulging from his forehead were unsettling.

“Are you enjoying this…?” (Izek)

“Am I the only one? Besides that, tell me why your superior has been making such a commotion since this morning.” (Duke)

“Do I need to report it to my father?” (Izek)

“Who told you not to do it?” (Duke)

What is this?

My eyes widened at the sight of the pair of siblings’ cold eyes and quietly took a bite of my cake.

“What happened?” (Duke)

“Rather than something happening…damn it. I was going to bring it up myself so why are you pestering me about this now?” (Izek)

“I don’t want to be involved but you have to tell me in detail so that I can relay the information to his majesty”. (Duke)

“You can find out from Sir Barons (knight commander). Actually, you probably already know about it.” (Izek)

“Your superior has a tendency to exaggerate since long ago so his words are unreliable. Fu… Lately, I’ve been hearing peculiar noises coming from the direction of Rom’s cave since last night, Ruby.” (Duke)

If it’s Rom’s cave, isn’t that where our dragon cub’s hiding place is?

(T/N: ‘Rom’ is supposed to be a place but I am not sure what it is since I don’t remember a location sounding similar to it when the novel talks about Erendil or the North and I’m sure it’s not referring to Romagna)

Izek rubbed his temples in annoyance then glanced at me with an imperturbable expression.

“I’ve been monitoring the area since the attack on the palace and I heard someone whining all of a sudden last night. Should I say that it sounds more like wailing? The commander is arguing that it clearly sounds more like wailing.” (Izek)

“Could the dragon be in ill health?” (Ruby)

“It could be the case but the timing of when they started wailing doesn’t coincide with when they sustained injuries from the incident····Anyway, the first thing to do is to figure out the next steps. I will first do a sweep of the area today and then escort you to the location. They’ve been acting out and you’re the only one who has entered their dwelling. (Izek)
