At night, I was in the bed of my borrowed room looking idly up at the ceiling. I could still faintly hear the sounds from the bar below.

Honestly, I had free time and I wanted to go kill time in the bar, but I didn’t want to be bothered or be messed with. I could still do anything I wanted but I didn’t want to waste any of my stored energy.

The scuffle earlier with the group of guys lasted only a second but that alone took a quarter possibly a third of my saved energy.

I had too much free time.

“Should I go to sleep?” I wondered.

As I thought this, a knock came from my door.

I raised myself from the bed cautiously.

Could it be the group from before? The thought popped up in my mind for a moment.

“Who is it?”

“Do you have a moment?”

“It’s a woman?” I thought as I tilted my head curiously.

What is a woman doing knocking at my door I wondered as I stood up. I opened the door to reveal a woman standing alone.

She looked as if she was between her mid-twenties and thirties. Her style of dress exposed a lot, but the emphasis was on ease of movement rather than sex appeal.

Above all, she smelled faintly like a dragon. The smell of a dragon is usually deeply ingrained in a Dragon Knight. 　

“Did you need something?”

“Why don’t we drink together?” She said, as she held up both her hands for me to see.

In her right hand was a bottle of sake and in her left were two glasses.

“What is with the bad reaction? It’s not the first time you’ve had a girl sneak to your room, is it?”

“It is hard to refuse when you say it like that.”

I laughed heartily as I moved so the way was clear. The woman smiled as she entered the room. For a second, I glanced around the hallway. There didn’t appear to be an ambush waiting for me.

I closed the door a little bit confused. The woman sat on the bed and uncorked the bottle of sake she had brought. Instantly the smell of sake filled the room.

I stood awkwardly in front of her and looked sheepishly at the ground.

“What’s your name?”

“What…that’s boring. Isn’t a woman you don’t know the name of intriguing?”

“To speak frankly yes.”

“Jeez, you are so formal. Well, you can call me Lisa.”

“So, it’s Lisa.”

I wasn’t sure if it was her real name or a fake name. Even if I wondered I wouldn’t be able to know either way so I moved on.

I sat on the bed, with space enough for another person to sit between us, with our shoulders lined up next to each other. Then I took the glass of sake she handed me.

“Here.”

“Thank you.”

“First let’s toast to our first meeting.”

“Cheers.”

We clinked our glasses together then I brought the sake to my lips. Lisa on the other hand downed the glass without hesitation.

My gaze went to the ceiling as I whispered encouragement to myself then gulped down the drink.

“Fwaaa. Huh?! Aren’t you going to drink?”

“I am a little bit suspicious of a drink I don’t know the origin of.”

I was being cautious, and I didn’t think it was wise to be completely trusting.

“Aren’t you Cyris Larose? The Dragon First?”

“Yeah.”

“Moreover, the sight I just saw gave me the impression you were very strong.”

“Well…when I need to be.”

She saw what happened with the group of guys earlier?

“I want to be embraced by a strong man. Is that strange?”

“Well…it’s not like I would know.”

I nodded vaguely. If that was the scenario then I didn’t know what to say. I knew there were woman Dragon Knights that were like this.

I heard from a dragon knight long ago that because we were always with dragons the power of the dragon felt close to our skin and there were many women who desired strength in their men. It wasn’t exactly something I didn’t know about.

In accordance with what that Dragon Knight had said, history seemed to be repeating itself.

Until dragons could be controlled by the human hand the term “knight” was used for men who rode horses. The Dragon Knight on the other hand is the “Knight of the dragon” and was a term created after.

It also seemed that the woman who raises and rides horses demands the strength of a horse from a man. It seems that is where the term “Hung like a horse” came from.

Well…that seemed to be the case. I was convinced.

I didn’t sense any malicious intent from Lisa and I really wanted to give in to her. That being the case I didn’t see a reason to refuse.

After a couple more drinks Lisa snuggled into me.

I thought, “This must be it” then…

“Hmm?”

“What’s the matter?”

“I thought I heard something outside?”

“Outside…really? What could it be?”

“I’ll take a look.”

I stood up and went over to the window. I was on the top floor with windows much higher than the other. I opened the window and looked outside.

A carriage was parked in front of the inn. Around the carriage were about ten escorts, there were about another twenty who were trying to keep the onlookers away.

The carriage was expertly crafted, like the one I saw when I rescued the princess, but this carriage was even finer than the one the princess had been riding.

Passerby as well as the inn’s patrons peered from windows to stare at the carriage that had grabbed everyone’s attention.

From that carriage, a man stepped out. He was dressed like a young aristocrat. He raised his head and made eye contact with me then gave me a slight nod.

Then the surroundings became animated once again.

“What is that?”

“Could that be…?”

Lisa muttered from beside me. Her expression was serious.

“Do you know him?”

“Do I know him know him or just know him…?”

“???”

What did she mean by “just know him”?

While I was wondering about this another knock came from the door.

“Sorry for the late intrusion, but is this the room of the Dragon First Cyril Larose?”

“Oh. Come in?” I said curiously.

From outside I could hear “Please excuse the intrusion” as the door opened slowly. Several men were in the hallway behind the door.

The man who most likely knocked was dressed in servant garb and the young man standing behind him was clearly an aristocrat.

The servant lowered his head and cleared the way. The young aristocrat entered.

“Excuse me. I am Charles Cevert. You are Cyril Larose, is that correct?”

“Charles Cevert?!” Lisa suddenly yelled in surprise.

The man named Charles smiled at Lisa’s reaction but did not chastise her or otherwise react.

“Do you know him?”

“I don’t really know much other than he is the son of the prestigious St. Simon family.”

“St. Simon…” I knew that name.

My destination was the Dragon Capitol St. Simon.

“…that’s you.”

“Yes, I am the one who commissioned you, Mr. Larose.”

“Is that so?”

He was the client that commissioned me to protect the Master Dragon egg.

“So, what are you doing here?”

“We have come to get you.”

“You’ve come to get me?”

“Yes. We apologize that you had to stay at such a place. There was a mix-up.”

“Well, I don’t mind it.”

I understood the meaning of his words but…

“You are an influential person, aren’t you? Why have you come all this way to see me in person?”

“I have asked Mr. Larose to lend me the strength of a Dragon Knight, it’s not like I can be rude.”

“Even so. I just became a one star.”

“Every three-star Dragon Knight in history started as a one star.”

“…you’re good.”

I was honestly impressed and didn’t mind being flattered.

At the same time, I felt it wasn’t just a title but a real honor. I made it to “One Star” and it was natural to go for “Three Stars”.

If I was a “beginner” I would be told something else. But because I had the image of a man who was capable, he could see beyond just the title.

“I apologize for the late hour, but we have prepared an inn suitable for you, and we would like to have you stay there.”

“Understood…well…umm…”

After agreeing to go with them I remembered Lisa. I smiled at her not knowing how to approach the situation.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. It looks like you were a greater man than I originally thought.” Risa said with a smile and left the room.

With the introduction of Charles, it seemed my status had increased in an unexpected way.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
