Chapter 62

CH62 Tsuneo

Unlike Arl, there were no laws in this child's eyes. The fact that he didn't try to cower behind Ari when Morgan approached, set off alarms in the back of my mind. There was a lie here, but I didn't know exactly what it was. Looking at his face, it was obvious that he was related to Ari. I had no doubt that this was her child, but... there was no child-like love for her in his expression or actions.

She seemed to be little more than a stranger to her.

I felt terrible. My suspicions were completely unfounded. Even if the child was a part of Ari's schemes, the child didn't necessarily have any. Morgan walked across the floor, a quiet strength emanating from her. She crouched down to meet the child at eye level. Ari hadn't even turned to look at her.

"What's your name?" Morgan asked.

Ari looked down at her, sneering at her. She tugged the child away from Margan roughly.

Morgan smiled. "I am. I'm Morgan."

"Im Kai," he said. " Ive never met a human before."

"Well, I've never met a tiny dragon before, it seems like we've both entered into a new experience." He giggled a little. "Are you hungry? Would you like to come with me to get something to eat?" She glanced over to the king. It looks like the adults have some things to discuss. You don't want to stick around for boring adult stuff, do you?"

He shook his head. "I'm hungry."

"I thought so," Morgan extended her hand. "Let's f find something tasty, hm?"

Ari snarled, but the child let go of her and took Morgan's. In a matter of seconds, Morgan led
