A few dayster.


    "My lord. Lady venya wishes to speak with you." A staff from the mercenary group came to the mountain the Dragon King usually trained.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    "Hmm?" The Dragon King raised his head. "Is that so? She doesn''te here like usual?"


    "Yes. It seems to be something important. She is waiting for you in your office."


    The Dragon King''s expression turned serious. He couldn''t help but wonder what was going on. Thest thing he heard about her was that she was going on a mission with Nathan.


    ''Did something happen to them? Don''t tell me, did she kill Nathan? But in a head-on battle, Nathan shouldn''t lose. The Summoners War confirmed it.


    ''Poison? Nah, she might be wild, but she was honorable. What was it then? She only met me like this whenever the matter was extremely big.''


    The Dragon King couldn''te up with a possible reason.


    ''If killing him wasn''t the problem…'' The Dragon King fell silent for a moment. For some reason, he remembered that Nathan was known for another thing.


    ''Wait a minute. Did she get seduced by Nathan during the mission? Considering he became famous recently, did she try to make amends with him?


    ''Did he force himself on her? I don''t care if he wants to court her, but if he forces himself on her, I need to question his character…''


    The Dragon King''s expression turned grim. The moment he thought of the most usible reason, he immediately used his fastest speed to return to his office, finding venya already waiting for him.


    The table was filled with food. Normally, venya would be eating happily, saying that she couldn''t think of such an important matter with an empty stomach.


    But for some reason, venya was just sitting there, looking at the food but didn''t have the appetite. His heart sank because of this unusual thing.


    "What''s wrong?" The Dragon King asked with a serious expression. "Did something happen to you?"


    venya raised her head, looking the Dragon King in the eye. She was facing a dilemma. On the one hand, the one in front of her was the father she respected and loved so much. On the other hand, this betrayal was just too painful.


    Seeing venya didn''t respond to him immediately, the Dragon King approached her while asking, "Did Nathan do something to you during that mission? Did he force himself on you?"


    venya couldn''t help but clench her hands into fists. She wondered why her father thought that way, as if Nathan was some sort of criminal.


    ''Have I really misunderstood him this whole time? Despite all that mistreatment, he is still able to smile and help me…'' venya bit her lips. She mmed the table while standing up.


    The loud bang startled the Dragon King, as he had never seen venya this angry. "What? What''s going on?"


    venya''s expression turned solemn. "Father…"


    "Yes?"


    "I have a question. I''d like it if you could answer my question honestly."


    "What''s with this politeness? What is this question?" The Dragon King was confused. ''What question? Is she going to ask what I will do if she is pregnant with Nathan''s child or something?''


    However, the reality might not be so different. venya took a deep breath, having a hard time calming herself down.


    After a few seconds, she asked, "Did you really want me to go to the Frexia Academy?"


    "Eh?" The Dragon King was startled. He thought it would be a heavy question, but it turned out to be a normal question.


    But before he answered, venya shook her head. "Sorry, let me change my question. The mission that you gave Nathan in exchange for the draconian blood… Did it mention anything about me going to the Frexia Academy?"


    The Dragon King dropped his jaw.


    Even if the Dragon King didn''t answer this question, his reaction alone was enough.


    venya''s body started trembling. It was true. Her father had sold her off. She felt betrayed.


    "That''s enough. I don''t want to hear your exnation." venya took a deep breath before storming out of the room.


    "Sweetie." The Dragon King wanted to chase after her, but venya simply ignored everything else and ran as quickly as possible, not wanting to hear anything from her father. "venya. Wait!"


    …


    Frexia Academy.


    "Ha… Ha… This is cold." Nathan let out a warm breath in his hands while looking up. He was sitting in the garden by himself, muttering inwardly, ''Now that I think about it, it''s been more than five months since I''vee to this world. In a few weeks, it will be New Year.


    ''With this kind of civilization, I wonder how many people have to die during winter?'' Nathan shook his head helplessly. ''Well, it can''t be helped. It''s not like I have anything to help others.''


    Nathan wanted to close his eyes, but he actually noticed a small white sphere gradually falling down.


    "Hmm?" Nathan raised his head. ''Snow? It has started snowing, huh? The temperature is going to drop even further. I guess there aren''t a lot of activities we can do. In addition, we need mantles, goggles, and masks if we want to go on a mission during the snow. Do they have a convenient technique like warming one''s body with one''s ena or something?''


    While he was rxing, he could hear a knock on the main door.


    "Hmm?"


    "Who is it?" Selena went to the main door, finding an unexpected guest. "Nathan!"


    "Yeah?" Nathan was confused, wondering who was important enough to make him appear.


    When he reached the front door, he saw venya, her hands holding bags containing her items. Her hair was disheveled, as if she had just scratched her head after thinking about stressing things.


    "Are you all right?" Nathan looked worried.


    The proud venya unexpectedly lowered her head. "You said this would be a good time to treat my anger issue. If it''s not too much, could I move in with you? It will be much more convenient for you if I stay here.


    "I know I''m shameless to ask this, but can you stop receiving payment from my father? I will be the one repaying you for the treatment."
