Dragon Genesis: I Can Create Dragons

Chapter 312: We still need proof that you are a Hero, don’t we?

“You are very beautiful, Lavinia Dragonborn.”

The man praised openly. Lavinia, who heard that all of a sudden, was visibly taken aback. Of course, this wasn’t the first time she had heard these words, but it was still very out of the blue.

For a moment, the Princess lost her composure, not knowing how to react to those words, and Kael, who saw what was happening in front of him…

‘Things will take an even worse turn if someone else comes into the equation, someone who proposes his love for her. After all, you would then have no right to say something in the situation, you will only be a hindrance until finally, you are forced away from the ‘friend’ you like so much.’

Suddenly, Vitaria’s words echoed in his mind.

No, it wasn’t just Vitaria’s words, his mind made its own interpretation of those words,

‘She will be taken away from you.’

“You are the most beautiful woman I have ever see—”

“Alright, that is enough from us.”

Kael’s body suddenly acted on its own as he pushed the man away from Lavinia and stood in the middle of the two with his back facing Lavinia.

He then stared at the man who was pushed a few steps away and—

“Now tell us about yourself.”

He asked.

“…huh?”

The man blinked in surprise.

It wasn’t just him—even Lavinia was taken aback by such a reaction. She stared at Kael’s back, confused.

“You… pushed me.”

The man muttered, still in disbelief.

At those words, Lavinia’s expression changed. Before this took a worse turn, she tried to meddle with the situation.

“He didn’t wish to push you, it ju—”

“You pushed me!”

The man raised his voice as his steel gray eyes shined in excitement.

Yes, excitement.

“You! You are much stronger than you look, aren’t you!?”

He shouted as he clenched his fists.

“I thought you were just some weak little boy, but a Hero is a Hero after all, isn’t he!? Hahaha!”

The man laughed heartily, and both Kael and Lavinia…

“…”

“…”

They just stared at this man with deadpan looks on their faces.

“Hero! You need to spar with me! No Bonds! Man to man, one on one, fair duel! What do you say!?”

He asked excitedly, and in an instant, whatever opinion Kael had of this man went to dust.

“…Excuse me, but you still haven’t introduced yourself.”

Lavinia spoke carefully.

She prided herself in being able to read people, and right now, she decided to be careful around this man—not because he was intimidating, but because he was a reckless fool who only thought about battle.

Or at least, that was the impression Lavinia had of him from their little interaction.

“Ah!”

After hearing Lavinia’s words, the man realized it as well and…

“Hahaha! I apologize for that! I got too excited.”

…he started laughing as he scratched the back of his head.

Once again, both Kael and Lavinia stared at each other, a bit confused. They had no idea why someone like him was sent to greet them on their first day.

Shouldn’t this be an important day where they were supposed to learn about Ashen Heights and its current situation? Shouldn’t it be done by someone who knows a thing or two? Why did they send someone like him?

There were too many questions in their heads, but suddenly—

“My name is Kayden Velmourn, the Heir to Ashen Heights.”

The man introduced himself. His words surprised Lavinia, and Kayden did not fail to notice that. He laughed as he scratched the back of his head and,

“Hahaha~ I am a sort of a Prince too…”

He said as he glanced at Lavinia.

Kael, on the other hand, just stared at the man in front of him with a shocked look on his face.

“You…

You are Kayden…”

He muttered as he finally recognized those white hairs.

Lavinia, who heard Kael’s words, frowned in confusion. Soon, however, she understood what he was talking about and was taken aback.

Kayden!

The man who jumped into the horde of Corrupted Beasts and sacrificed his life in one of Kael’s Visions.

He really exists!

Kael… his visions were indeed true!

Lavinia couldn’t believe it. Yes, she trusted Kael and was willing to follow his words, but seeing it happen right in front of her eyes still surprised her.

An ally Kael said they could trust! He was standing right in front of them!

Kayden, who noticed their strange expressions, frowned,

“Do you… perhaps know me?”

He was confused.

Soon, however, as if he realized something, his eyes shined,

“Do they know about me even outside of Ashen Heights!? Hahaha! As I expected, they couldn’t just ignore me, now could they!? Hahaha!”

He started laughing again.

“…”

And once again, Lavinia stared at him with a deadpan look on her face.

‘Can we really trust him…?’

She thought inwardly.

She was still skeptical.

“Well, now that you know me, that makes things a lot easier, doesn’t it?”

Kayden smiled.

His eyes fell on Kael and burned with intense light,

“Let’s fight, Hero!”

He challenged.

“Are you sure this was why you were sent here? To spar with me?”

Kael questioned.

“Yes!”

Kayden nodded confidently.

“We still need proof that you are a Hero, don’t we?”

“Proof? I showed Ign—”

“Not your Bond. I—we need to see your ability.”

“Alright then.”

Kael nodded.

“Kael.”

Lavinia called out, trying to warn him. Kael just nodded at her and reassured her. Kayden too glanced at her and patted his chest.

“Don’t worry, Lavinia. I will be careful. Just trust me.”

He then extended his four fingers proudly and,

“Plus, Ashen Heights has a total of four Healers, so everything will be fine even if it is not fine. You don’t have to worry about him.”

‘He is not the one I am worried about.’

Lavinia wanted to say that out loud. For now, she decided to stay silent and trusted that Kael would go easy on him.

The Hero and the Princess stared at each other one last time before they allowed Kayden to take them to the ‘stage he had prepared for them.’
