When The Count’s Illegitimate Daughter Gets Married

Chapter 49

Chapter 49

Laritte asked as she walked down the hallway.

“Why are they going to the Magee Plateau? It’s within the Dukedom, isn’t it?”

The Plateau was located far away from the mansion. Because of that, she realized just how vast the Dukedom was.

“That’s right. I’m sending a dispatch unit to trace a dragon rumored to be seen on the land.”

She was surprised. The expression wasn’t visible on her face, but she was.

A runaway dragon was known to appear every decade. Such dragons needed to be eradicated by the Swordmasters and the troops they lead.

“That’s concerning.”
“We’re not sure. The farmers may have just mistaken it when they saw the marks made by some kind of an animal.”

One in a hundred chances lead to locating a real dragon.

The Ducal couple emerged from the mansion. The mood in the air felt different than usual. Everyone was engaged in preparing the investigation team. A shiny horse was prepared for the knight. The luggage containing necessary items was tied to the horse.

One of the men approached the Duke.

“Captain! Allow me to report the progress.”
“How’s the health condition of the knight?”
“Everything is fine. The physician has finished his examination.”

Ian listened to further reports, while Laritte walked to where the horse stood.

After finishing, Ian approached her.

“What are you doing?”
“Just looking around.”

She was staring at the horse. Her eyes were so intense that even the trained stallion backed away in fear.

“…..Do you want to eat that horse?”

Every individual standing around the couple thought the same.

“No. I’m just watching it.”
“Or something about its skin…..”

He stopped at Laritte’s fierce eyes.

“Oh! I know.”
“Go ahead.”

Laritte nodded.

Neither did she want to have its meat nor its leather.

Her gaze was ‘affectionate’.

There could be only one meaning.

“Do you want to ride a horse?”
“Um……”

That was what she wanted. Her eyes sparkled a thousand colors in response.
