Wings Shrouding the Sky (Part 4)



I turned around to see Irina’s somewhat pale face . She gently pursed her lips into a smile . However, her lips were pale .  I didn’t know if the blow to her mentally or physically was more severe . Although I had a kid with her for the dragon race, she must’ve genuinely really liked her child . I wondered if she knew of her miscarriage . I wondered how crushed her heart would be if she saw the crushed egg . As I could see that her eyes were totally red, I figured I could safely presume that dragons could cry till their eyes turn red .

Irina’s eyes showed her unspeakable agony . She tightly gripped the corner of her shirt and kept her head down . She softly apologised, “Sorry, sorry, King Troy . I am so useless . I failed to protect you, and I failed to protect our child . I failed to protect anything . I am truly so useless…”

Irina loathed herself and leaned her head on my chest . She tightly gripped my arms and quivered . She kept on mumbling “sorry . ” Perhaps her guilt was killing her inside . She dumped all of the blame on her shoulders . She thought that she failed to protect me . I felt gazes savagely piercing through my back . My wives were there watching me, so I couldn’t kiss her as I did before . All I could do was touch her head: “It’s not your fault . Your only mistake was failing to protect yourself . You, yourself, are the most precious . ”

“I am not precious . You can find as many dragons that are the same as me as you want . ”

“But you’re the only one now . Therefore, you’re the future of the dragon race . You’re as precious as a dragon egg . ”

The sight of the dragons’ corpses was quite heart wrenching for Irina . Nier and Lucia were cleaning them up before breakfast . Perhaps they noticed how close Irina and I was and thereby decided to provoke her . Nier started using a more bloody way of cutting up the dragons’ corpses, while Lucia, who was showing a degree of respect by picking their body parts up with two hands and carefully placing them in, started soccer kicking them down .

Irina’s pride as a dragon crumbled as she looked at the shape her erstwhile companions were in because of her . Moreover, as opposed to dying a glorious death fighting against invaders, they died because she and they turned on each other . Irina used to think being a dragon was something to be proud of, as they were the only ones who could spread their wings to soar in the sky and reach snowy peaks . When a dragon roared, all species would quiver in fear . They were the mightiest race on the continent, yet they used that peerless might to kill their own kind in the end . Furthermore, the ones she killed were her own companions she’d been living with .




Irina killed them, as she knew that they deserved to die . She bared her claws at her fellow dragons . Her fellow companions stole her arm, her child and almost stole her husband and mom . That was in the nature of the dragon race and how they wielded their gifted might . What a shameful feeling .

I supported Irina to help her sit down on a chair . She then took in a deep breath and said, “Sorry, King Troy . I know that your wife, umm, wives will not accept me; nevertheless, I hope you can fulfil my last request . Can you give me a dragon egg? I believe I can have more dragon eggs . Please, I will not cling to you or ask you to do anything . I just want a child . I just want a dragon egg; that is all . I beg you… Please . Please fulfil this final wish of mine…”

Irina’s tears rolled down her face . Nier looked at her then coldly snorted before continuing to hack the dragon corpses . Lucia was a lot gentler than Lucia, but she shook her head with a resolute expression .



Smiling, I replied, “I’m sorry, but as you can see, unfortunately, my wives aren’t willing to see our current relationship . As such, I’m sorry; though I sympathise with you, I’m not willing to betray my wives . If they weren’t present, then possibly, but they’re here now, so I can’t do anything with you when they’re so resolute in their stance . It’s absolutely impossible . ”

“I-I see . ” Irina looked as if she was dumped in an abyss of despair .

Honestly, anybody would’ve felt sorry for her if they saw her then . In saying that, that was all I could do . My wives were right behind me . Was I supposed to do something with Irina while making them watch on hopelessly? After seeing how much Lucia was hurt after she caught me with Nier, I swore to never upset Lucia again, so I had to refuse Irina .

“Perhaps it’s a little too soon for you to refuse it right now . Son, come sit down . This isn’t as simple as you may think,” said Mommy Sylvanas, who pressed her hand on my shoulder from behind .

Honestly speaking, I started to question exactly which side Sylvanas was on at that point… Normally, there would be no “and after…” Based on what Vyvyan and Elizabeth were thinking, I should’ve been heading home . If I had to guess, I’d surmise they’d even want to skip breakfast to start heading back sooner .

I turned to face Mommy Sylvanas and pondered, “This place with the dragons is too dangerous, yet Mommy Sylvanas still wants to talk about it after I clearly voiced my refusal?”

Mommy Sylvanas’ eyes appeared to show a hint of guilt . She gently touched my face . In a tender voice, she explained, “I understand what you’re thinking, Son . Mommy understands . That said, the dragon race is heading toward extinction after this incident . Look around, Son . What you’re seeing is Mommy’s own kin’s corpses . If we just up and leave, the last dragon will be Irina . Do you want her to stay here and die alone without anyone to keep her company? Son, Mommy is a dragon when it comes down to it . You may not have any invested feelings for the dragon race, but what about for Mommy? What about Irina? Indeed, this is unfair on you; but nevertheless, Mommy won’t make you suffer this for nothing . A dragon egg is a product of pure mana . It can provide Elizabeth with a long lifespan; hence, if this is successful, I will definitely give the egg to Elizabeth, allowing her to spend more time by your side . What do you think? You don’t need to do anything . It won’t ruin your family, and it most certainly won’t be a burden for you . Henceforth, the dragon race shall continue to reside here, while you can live in the Imperial Palace . You don’t have to take any responsibility . ”
