I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game - Chapter 655

655. [Side Story] Dusk Bringer (3)

Ttogak Ttogak-

Walking through the corridor inside the palace, Daybringer’s boots made a clear sound.

Behind him, the girl suit tried to follow as quietly as possible. However, the difference in stride length was so great that in the end, the dodo had to close his eyes and run to catch up.

The Daybringer smiled and eventually stopped walking. Suit breathed and stood beside the Day Bringer, looking up at the Queen together.

It was a wall with several portraits hanging on it. Pointing in that direction, Daybringer explained.

“It’s a portrait of the former Grand Dukes of Bringer.”

“ah…!”

Embarrassed, the suit hurriedly bowed toward the portrait. The Daybringer covered his mouth and laughed.

“From now on, you don’t even have to say hello.”

“Ah yes…”

“Now, first of all, this is the ancestor of the Bringer family.”

The one Daybringer pointed to was the oldest portrait hung the tallest.

“The last red dragon, Fire Dragon, Dusk Bringer.”

The portrait depicts a tall woman with a great smile and flowing hair of flame.

The daybringer’s explanation came softly into the suit’s ears as he looked at it as if possessed.

“He defeated Jormungand, the serpent of the world, who was heading towards the Everblack Empire, and married the human emperor of the Everblack Empire through that relationship and had descendants. In fact, he is the one who created our Principality of Bringer.”

“Wow… It’s amazing that a child is born between a dragon and a human.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha.”

The suit’s innocent (and possibly rude) sentiments made the Daybringer burst out laughing.

He was a good laugher, Sut thought without knowing it.

“And this is his offspring.”

The Day Bringer pointed to the portrait hanging next to it.

“The first half-human, half-dragon, first dragon blood operation. Dawn-Bringer.”

There, as expected, a tall woman with flowing short red hair was drawn.

Dressed in tight armor, she had cold eyes and pale skin. Somehow intimidated, the suit shrugged.

‘what?’

Then the suit thought.

It was because the founder, Dusk-Bringer, and his descendant, Dawn-Bringer… were oddly dissimilar.

‘Does it resemble the Emperor who is said to have been married?’

The Day Bringer then pointed to the portrait next to it.

“And Day Bringer, the current Grand Duke of Bringer who inherited the next dukeship from Dunbringer… That’s me. how is it? Is the real thing better?”

“Both the real person and the portrait look great!”

In the portrait, which must have been recently painted, Daybringer was wearing his signature bright smile.

Braided hair in several braids on black skin. Dressed in a white uniform, she was very dignified and cool.

…Yes, he was dignified and handsome.

“Doesn’t it look alike?”

The Day Bringer suddenly hit the spot.

Embarrassed, the suit nodded slowly.

“Yes….”

The Progenitor Dragon Dusk Bringer, his descendant Dawn Bringer, and the Day Bringer who are now living next to each other.

They didn’t look too much like each other. It was a level that had nothing in common.

If you look for it, it’s reddish hair and eyes with vertically elongated pupils like those of reptiles. There might be a pointy dentition… but

it was too different to see it as a parent-child relationship.

“They are not related by blood.”

“yes?”

“The Duke of Bringer is a family that is not connected by blood, but by meaning.”

To the surprised Suit, Daybringer slowly explained.

“The founder, Dusk Bringer, and the Emperor of Everblack said they loved each other, but they couldn’t have children between them.”

“…”

“Instead, I took one of the dragon knights loyal to Dusk Bringer as my adopted daughter and inherited the Dragon Blood and Dragon Heart. The person who became the nominal descendant is Dawnbringer.”

A person who has the qualifications of a dragon, but also has the limitations of a human being. Half dragon and half man.

Therefore, find the right person and inherit the spirit, dragon blood, and will to carry on the will and family of the ancestors.

That was the Duke of Bringer.

“Dawnbringer also handed over the duchy to one of the dragon knights who followed him. That’s me.”

“Ah…”

“Me too. When I find the right person, I will give all my heart and blood to that person… and I will pass on this country and my family.”

The Day Bringer stared into the empty space next to his portrait.

“My future duke will inherit the name of the great ancestor dragon again… and will be called Dusk Bringer.”

“Is the name repeated?”

“huh. It’s the red dragon naming method. Words that mean low are repeated over and over again. Dusk, Dawn, Day, and again Dusk… like this. Continue.”

Suit muttered the name of the next Great Duke of Bringer.

‘Dusk Bringer…’

while thinking about how burdensome it must be for the person who will equally inherit the name of the great founder.

“Now, I also saw the faces of the previous dukes.”

Daybringer smiled at Suit and held out his hand.

“Shouldn’t you also train hard and become a dragon warrior that you are not ashamed of?”

The suit hesitated, but the Day Bringer reached out first and took the girl’s hand. Then he strode along and led the girl.

The duke’s large hands were so warm that the suit couldn’t breathe.

It was like the first time I had felt human warmth like this.

***

The Day Bringer didn’t have many followers.

There were only two dragon knights under her command.

Lord Layton, the Queen’s right-hand man, who is an adjutant and handles the country’s internal and external affairs.

And the newly accepted orphan girl – Suit.

“Originally, there were more. But everyone got older and retired or died one by one…”

Daybringer smiled calmly and pointed to the side.

“Only me and Layton were left alone. Every time I try to accept it, Layton opposes it every time.”

“It’s because His Excellency only brings in unidentified or unreliable people.”

Layton, who was seated next to Day Bringer, gave the suit a hard look. Suit shrugged and shrugged.

“The two of us will teach you what you need as a dragon knight. Layton fights and I…”

Daybringer thumped the books he picked out from the library on the table! raised

“Liberal Culture Etiquette. Well, things that are not absolutely necessary, but are really important to life.”

The suit swallowed dry saliva and bent down towards the two of them.

“W, I’ll work hard… I’ll do my best…!”

Suit was a bright and quick-witted child.

However, his body, which had not been properly fed all his life, was weak and lacked strength. No matter how much hemolysis was administered, the limits were clear.

First day of swordsmanship class.

“Kyaaaagh!”

“…”

The unbalanced suit rolled across the floor. The girl could not control the great power that resided in her small and fragile body.

Layton was strict and cold, but he was a good instructor. He calmly grasped the situation without changing his expression.

“I’ll have to eat some and gain weight first.”

“…I’m sorry…”

“You don’t have to apologize to me.”

Layton crossed his arms and let out a sigh.

“Hey soot. tell me in advance I don’t like you.”

“…”

“If you want to keep the position of the Dragon Knight you got by luck, do it right. In order not to burden His Excellency. In order not to tarnish the name of the glorious Dragon Knight of the Principality of Bringer. And for your own life.”

At Layton’s continued words, the suit swallowed dry saliva.

“If you don’t do it right, I’ll kill you and retrieve the blood that was administered to you. Because that is the way for the Principality of Bringer.”

“…”

“If you understand, go and eat something more. Until the next class, repeat only basic physical strength training. then.”

Leighton left the training ground.

And in the empty training ground, the suit gritted its teeth and started training once more from the beginning.

Although the combat training did not immediately produce results, the suit quickly emerged in other studies.

There was no chance, but the girl was smart. Like a sponge sucking up water, it absorbed what the Day Bringer taught.

The illiterate girl quickly learned how to read and learned quickly, igniting her passion for learning as much as her hungry appetite.

It was a lot of fun educating a child who would accept what he taught. Daybringer gradually became serious about the suit’s education.

In the library, in the office, in the bedroom before going to sleep… Daybringer taught Suit a lot as if reading a fairy tale, and Suit eagerly read, wrote, and learned.

“Our suits are smart~”

On the day when the queen smiles and compliments her like that, she strokes her hair and compliments that she did a good job.

I couldn’t be that happy. I wanted to be loved by the queen more by doing better.

I didn’t want to be abandoned.

So the suit made a desperate effort. I studied while reducing the amount of time I slept, and I trained until my mouth smelled sweet every day.

so one year later.

“…Passed.”

The suit was able to pass Layton’s test with the lowest score in the battle test he received as a dragon knight.

“I have nothing more to teach you!”

I heard this from the Day Bringer.

“Starting next week, I will call in tutors for various subjects. Let’s start studying more deeply.”

breakfast spot.

Suit and Daybringer, who had gained a lot of weight in just over a year, ate breakfast together.

Suits blinked as he greedily chewed the food he had pushed into his mouth.

“Why next week? What about this week?”

Daybringer smiled, took a napkin, wiped the suit’s mouth, and replied kindly.

“Isn’t this week a festival?”

“yes?”

“It’s already an autumn festival, suit. We should have fun during festivals.”

The suit widened its eyes in surprise.

It was picked up by the queen during the Autumn Festival, but a year has already passed.

“And…”

The Day Bringer hesitated for a moment before speaking cautiously.

“During this festival… I will also announce that you have been chosen as my successor.”

“yes?!”

Surprised, the suit giggled, and Layton, who was serving the meal, looked at the Day Bringer in surprise.

Having barely swallowed the water, the true suit stuttered.

“My me? Am I the Queen’s successor?”

“okay.”

“Then I will become the next Duke of Bringer… Are you saying that?

“I will keep this position until you come of age. It will happen after that.”

It was a suit that always ate well, but in front of the queen’s bomb declaration, I couldn’t bear to eat more and put down the tableware.

“Ha, but with what qualifications do I… dare to become the queen’s successor…”

“You’ve been together for the past year. You may not know, but besides martial arts and studies… there were several tests. You all passed.”

The Day Bringer reached out and grabbed the suit’s hand.

“Suits. No, I guess I should call you Dusk now.”

The Daybringer smiled softly as he met the girl’s trembling eyes.

“Will you officially be my daughter?”

***

On the day of the Fall Festival.

The girl thought as she adjusted the neckline of her dress and tied the ribbon.

‘Dusk Dusk… My name becomes Dusk Bringer…’

Like the formal dress that was uncomfortable every time she wore it, the new name Dusk was unfamiliar and uncomfortable to the girl.

But I will persevere. If I could be his daughter…

When I thought of the word daughter again, my heart pounded wildly.

“after!”

Dusk, the girl, patted herself on the cheek and came to her senses.

Today, as the daughter of the Day Bringer and the successor to the Duke of Bringer, it is her first appearance in front of the citizens. I had to keep my mind straight.

Wearing the low-heeled shoes several times, Dusk nervously headed for the queen’s office.

Knock-knocked and carefully opened the door.

“Queen, no…”

After holding her breath for a while and gathering her strength.

Still uttering those dreamlike words, Dusk looked ahead.

“Oh my God! I’m ready-”

And the sight of the office that came into Dusk’s eyes

was Layton’s sword piercing the back of the Day Bringer and piercing the chest.
