Cursed Prince’s Cure - Volume 2

Volume 2: Red Girl

Due to the high vitality of the Flying Dragon, the treatment was over quickly.

When we returned to the mansion after finishing what we had to do, my brother and Sieg-san also happened to just return to the mansion. It seems that they had finished their search in the forest behind the mansion and were about to enter the forest where we were.

They were pleased that we found Kris and that we had returned to the mansion safely.

“Ha-ha-ha! That’s my Callus! I never thought you could be faster than me!”

“Hey, you’re hurting my back!”

My brother slapped my back. Since his hands were big and strong, it felt like I was being hit with a blunt object.

Then Sieg-san came to me.

“Thank you very much Callus-san. I don’t know how I could repay you…”

“No, it’s fine. More than that…”

I turned my attention to Kris hiding behind Master, who is peeking at us.

I guess she really wants to run over to Sieg-san right now, but it’s hard for her to do so considering she just ran away from home.

“Kris…”

Sieg-san slowly approached Kris.

Then, crouching down by her side, at eye level, he suddenly slapped Kris as hard as he could on the cheek.

Pah! With a sharp sound, Kris’ left cheek turned red.

Sieg-san said to her as she held her sore cheek, “Do you have any idea how worried I was?”

“Why did you do such a stupid thing!?”

Sieg-san scolded Kris with an angry expression on his face. Even I’m scared despite watching from a distance. It must be a shock for Kris who’s close to it.

“Waaaa~ I, I just… wanted daddy to pay attention to me. So I went to…”

Kris said with tears streaming down her face. Sieg-san hugged her tightly and said.

“That’s why I’m saying it’s stupid. I don’t have anything more important than you, I’ll be with you as much as you want..!”

“Uhuh…!”

The father and daughter embraced each other in tears.

I looked at them while thinking how great family was.

After a while, when everyone had calmed down. I started to talk to my brother.

I told him everything that had happened in the forest, and he believed me. Though he was skeptical about the story of my fight with the dragon.

“Brother, there’s actually someone that I want to introduce to you.”

“Hmm? Who is it?”

He was puzzled by the suddenness.

It’s a strange thing.

“Then, please come out…!”

I signalled towards the forest.

Then… a blue scaled Flying Dragon emerged from the trees.

“Gyu?”

Is it really okay? It looked as if it wanted to ask such a question.

I beckoned to it and the Flying Dragon slowly came towards me.

Seeing this, Brother Damien’s mouth opens wide in surprise.

“Ca, cacacaca, Callus! What the hell is that?”

“I told you, didn’t I? It’s the Flying Dragon in I met in the forest. I asked her to come to the mansion to see how her healing injuries were progressing.”

“Whoa, whoa, it’s coming this way!”

Sieg-san was also surprised and was about to draw his sword, but Kris stopped him.

The servants in the house were also surprised, and some of them even ran away. Maybe I should have explained a little more?

But, it would be a lie if I said I didn’t want to surprise them a little.

“Kyu, kyu!”

“Oyyy, why’s there little Flying Dragons?”

“Ah, they’re the adult Flying Dragon’s, I call her Saffy, children. Aren’t they cute?”

Saffy was raising three baby dragons.

I couldn’t ask her to leave her children behind, so I asked her to bring them along. We’ll have a closer look at them later.

“Saffy! This way!”

“Lulu…”

I waved my hand and called, then Saffy came to my side.

“This is person is Damien. He is my brother. Come, say hi to him.”

“Mu, ya.. ahh. Yes, ……. I’m Damien Lionel Ladyzweisen. Nice to meet you, Saffy-san.”

He was a little confused, but as expected of him, he greeted the Flying Dragon properly.

Saffy responded and shook his hand with her front paws. It was good.

“I never thought the day would come when I would shake hands with a dragon. The world is really vast…”

Brother was deeply moved. Meanwhile, Seig-san came over.

“I’ve been all over the continent, but this is the first time I’ve seen a wild dragon as a friend. Perhaps you really are special.”

“Thank you. But I think it’s probably because Saffy is such a gentle dragon.”

I stroked Saffy’s cheek which made her purr. If she was a ferocious dragon, things would not be like this.

“You are humble. You’ll definitely make a good Magician.’

“Of course he will, Daddy. I’m sure he’ll be a good wizard because Callus is the one I recognize!”

Next to Sieg-san was Kris.

Her eyes and cheeks were still red, but she seemed to have calmed down. She moved away from Seig-san and came to me.

“I know I’m late in saying this, but thank you… I was glad you came to save me that time. And…, you were so cool!”

After saying that, Kris ran away.

I wonder why she ran away. Her face was redder than before.

“Did she have a fever?”

“Gahaha! Even Sirius, the quintessential Sirius, takes a long time to ‘guide’ Callus!”

Brother Damien is also talking weird. I really don’t understand.

While I was thinking about the meaning of Kris’ words, Shizuku came.

“Oh, Shizuku. I’m sorry for worrying you. But look, I came back safely, didn’t I?”

“Yes… Welcome back, Callus-sama. I believed in you.”

I said so when suddenly Shizuku hugged me with superhuman strength.

I can’t breathe…

“Mugu, gigu……puha! Hoo! Too strong!”

I was about to be hugged to death. I’m not sure what to do.

“By the way, Shizuku-san, I have a favor to ask you.”

“Yes, what is it?”

“Since Saffy and the little dragons have come all this way, I’d like to have a party in the garden. Is that possible?”

“Is it possible? I see, leave it to me.”

[Glossary]

• Flying Dragon

A dragon species whose forearms are wings. Also called a Wyvern.

Most species are about 6 to 10 meters in length, and are medium-sized among dragon species. They are highly intelligent and often act in packs.

They fly freely through the air and hunt with their sharp fangs and claws. Some species can use the powerful “Dragon Breath.”

Wild dragons do not usually take humans kindly, but if raised from eggs, they make excellent companions.

In ancient times, an army of dragon species rebelled against the Fire God.

At the end of the battle, the defeated dragon species lost the wings on their backs and turned into Earth Dragons crawling on the ground.

However, the Water Gods took pity on them, and some of the Earth Dragons had their forearms replaced with wings, allowing them to return to the sky.

It is said that the four-winged Flying Dragons that are born very rarely are the ones that accidentally regained the wings they lost during that time.
