Capítulo 96: Chapter 96 - Control, Love, and Freedom [Part 1]

A strange calm had taken over the land of Laria. The streets were void of human calls, the forest lacked its lively nature, and yet with the thwarting of tundra around the land, every creature confined within the mountains relished in the warmth of the strong summer breeze. Having returned to his youth, the maddened dragon Klianstien Ironfrost conveyed his appreciation by inviting warmth back into his homeland.

"How's Klian doing?" Haruki asked, waking up to the sight of Rose bringing him breakfast.

"He's well, although a bit too energetic to be in those chain binds," hinting at his promise, She reminded Haruki of his end of the deal. "I hope you can break the curse soon, it would be a shame if I had to kill you to free him despite you doing so much for my brother."

Her appreciation for what Haruki had done was immense, but much like human suffering, she cared not the least if she had to kill Haruki in order to earn her brother's freedom.
