In the world of Moe King, I became the ruler of ice.

With the blood of a sacred dragon flowing through her veins, how could she possibly submit here?

The resolute glint in his eyes as he looked at Gransta said it all.

"I am willing to accept the punishment."

A strange smile appeared on Gransta's face, then he flapped the wings on his back and returned to the Ice Guard's shoulder.

He waved to the female dragon who was still standing there in a daze.

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and get on."

The female dragonman paused slightly, her dragon wings slowly unfurling as she landed on Gransta's back.

The Ice Guardian snorted cold breath as the female dragonwoman landed on him.

"Hmph~"

He gave a disgruntled snort.

He had heard what Lord Gransta said: to regain his freedom, he had to defeat him first, and only then could he challenge his master.

Beat me? Use me as a stepping stone?

This is simply a dream.

Lord Gransta's majesty is inviolable; I am the strongest shield before my lord, and there is absolutely no possibility of it being shattered.

This dragon-man probably can't even beat Lord Benimaru, no, he probably can't even beat any of Master's subordinates, yet he's so arrogant.

After Gransta saw the dragonman come up, he patted the ice guard beneath him, indicating that he could go home along the previous route.

Simultaneously

"Overlord, cancel the isolation barrier."

The Overlord immediately responded to Gransta's command.

"yes!"

click-

The surrounding blue barrier shattered instantly, restoring visibility and revealing the battle area.

The traces of frost, the scorched ground, and the numerous deep pits, all seemed to have suffered horrific damage.

"Ice Guards, let's go back!"

Gransta squinted his eyes and lay down comfortably, while the dragonman stood behind him, looking around.

The Ice Guardian took a giant step, leaving a deep crater in the ground and covering the ground with frost along the way.

...

Ice Sculpture Castle

Throughout the castle, the color of ice crystals shimmered constantly, and exquisite ice sculptures were arranged in the main hall.

Bathed in sunlight, the castle seemed to stand in holy light, with an iceberg in the distance appearing to guard it.

Gransta is finally back in his castle, and his body can finally relax.

"Lord Gransta, you're back."

Ligurd quickly came to Gransta's side, bowed, and asked respectfully.

News of the successful defeat of the Pig-Headed Emperor has spread throughout the entire Jura Forest and even reached the surrounding countries.

Lord Rimuru had already sent word that things were very busy there, and Lord Gransta would return first to handle matters in town.

but

Rigurd quickly noticed the figure behind Lord Gransta, who seemed to be a new face.

At this moment, the female dragon was also curiously looking around, her gaze lingering on the lifelike statues in the palace for a long time.

"This is where the adults live; it's certainly extraordinary..."

When she first arrived in this town, she was amazed by the buildings; she couldn't understand what those strange buildings were for.

These buildings vaguely resemble those of the human empire, yet they also seem different.

What shocked her most was the strength of the monsters in the town; their average magic power was far higher than that of the lizardmen.

Seeing the puzzled look in Ligurd's eyes, Gransta was about to give an introduction.

However, it seems that the female dragon doesn't have a name yet. He needs to think about it carefully, since Gransta doesn't want to be like Rimuru and name things so casually.

"This is my new bodyguard. Rigurd, take her around the town and find her a place to stay."

Ligurud patted his chest and responded enthusiastically.

"Don't worry, Lord Gransta, I will definitely arrange a nice place for this beautiful lady to stay that she likes."

"Um."

Gransta turned to the female dragon and said.

"The environment of the ice sculpture castle is not suitable for you to live in. First, follow Ligurd to get familiar with the environment, and he will arrange everything."

The female dragon nodded obediently.

Watching Rigurd and the female dragonman gradually disappear into the distance.

Granstas withdrew his gaze, and then his expression turned ugly.

"Let's put naming her aside for now; it's time to deal with the one who sneaked into the castle."

Granstas's gaze drifted into the depths of the ice-sculpted castle, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

I never expected that my house would be robbed after I was only gone for a few days. Not only did Rigurd and the Frost Wolves guarding the gate not notice, but they almost fooled my magical perception.

The warning was sent into his mind as the ruler approached the castle.

The cold words carried a chilling undercurrent.

"Dominator, can you find this hiding fellow?"

"Lord Gransta, this intruder has unleashed a powerful illusion spell. We are working hard to dispel it."

A while later

"The Sight Spell has been successfully dispelled, and the intruder has been located."

A three-dimensional map immediately appeared in Gransta's mind, with a flashing red dot at the location on the map.

This is the location of the intruders. They seem unaware that the magic has been broken and are still in the same spot.

A longsword of ice blue appeared in Gransta's hand, with a faint mist of ice emanating from its blade. The moment the longsword appeared, the surrounding temperature dropped several degrees.

He dared not be careless. The fact that this intruder was able to escape his magical perception meant that its strength was not low. Summoning the Ice Ghost was just in case.

"I want to see what this intruder's purpose is in daring to hide in my castle."

Gransta, carrying the Ice Demon Sword, slowly approached the red dot in his mind.

He even deliberately suppressed his magical power, just in case the intruder discovered him in advance and escaped using his special skills.

Ta-ta~

In the empty palace, the sound of light footsteps could be heard, as if the music of death might start at any moment.

Gransta slowly moved to the door of a room and suddenly stopped, staring at the room with a puzzled look.

Gransta seemed to remember that this room was where he stored the fine wines he had collected in the Dwarf Kingdom, as well as the fruit wines he had brewed himself.

This room could be described as his private ice cellar.

Why would this intruder choose to hide here? Gransta wondered as he pushed open the door.

Wine barrels were scattered all over the ground, and several bottles of expensive wine that he had specially saved were now empty, rolling carelessly on the ground.

Gulansta's expression instantly turned ugly.

What a thief! ! !

...

(Ah~, what should I name this female dragon? I admit I'm terrible at naming things. I feel like the names I come up with don't suit this female dragon at all, so ⌓‿⌓.)
