Capítulo 133: Sorrow and joy [2]

The cold never ceased throughout the year. 

Aurelia and the members of the first subjugation squad remained faithful to their commitment, standing where they were and guarding the Dragon. 

"....Are you tired Aurelia? It's been several months since we've been here. Isn't it okay if you take a break?" 

Daphne looked around. 

"Reinforcements from the town should also get back here soon. When they come, we'll be able to tell them of the situation." 

"....." 

Despite Daphne's words, Aurelia's attention remained fixed on the Dragon before her. 

The mana in her body was rapidly draining and her face was pale. She was hungry and she was thirsty. Her body ached, and she was cold. 

Despite that, she kept her hand fixed on the Dragon. 

"M-must..." 

It was as if nothing else could distract her. 

"Ah! They're here!" 

Or at least, until she felt a few presences in the distance and her head turned.
