Mr. Dragon Knight, the dragon girls are chasing you!

First of all, I need to be honest with you, I lied to you again.

The curse of the Eternal Night Dragon Clan requires not only two supreme treasures, but also the lifespan of a dragon knight to be lifted.

And I've successfully lifted your curse! Even though I only have three months to live, isn't that pretty amazing?

After writing this sentence, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

The system will pop up a notification at the appropriate time:

[System's comment: Host, you call this "amazing"? This is called "stupid," okay? What normal person would risk their life to save someone else's?]

Luo Ye ignored the system's complaints and continued writing:

I'm sorry, I lied to you again.

I said I wouldn't leave, but I might have to break my promise.

Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything dangerous. I just... need to go home.

He paused, the pen tip hovering in mid-air.

Come back home.

This word was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.

He couldn't remember how many years it had been since he last returned to the capital, and he even had some memories of Earth.

I didn't tell you because I know that if you knew, you would cry and beg to come with me.

But I can't take you with me.

You are the Dragon King of the Eternal Night, the master of this dragon's lair, and the king of countless dragon subjects. You have your responsibilities, your mission, and your life.

You can't abandon all of this and run around with a useless human who only has three months left to live.

Furthermore, I don't want you to see my final appearance.

I want you to always remember me as that silly dragon knight who would fight with you for barbecue, bicker and argue with you, stay up all night with you to look at the stars, and secretly kiss your forehead.

What I want to leave in your heart is your vibrant, passionate, and exuberant self.

[Instead of that final, pathetic image of an old man with white hair, frail body, struggling to breathe, and lacking even the strength to lift his arm to hug you.]

That's too ugly. I don't want you to see me looking that ugly.

After he finished writing this passage, he stopped writing and gently exhaled.

A burning, stinging pain came from the crack in the Fire Dragon King's reverse scale deep in his chest.

The domineering and wild source of fire seemed to sense the fluctuation of his emotions, becoming even more active, trying to dispel the chill in his heart with its scorching heat.

【Elvia, do you know?】

In my life, I've made many choices. Some were right, some were wrong. But the best choice I ever made was that day, when I bravely stood before you.

How dull my life would be if I hadn't met you.

Thank you for showing me what love is.

Thank you for showing me what it means to be loved.

Thank you for letting me know what it means to "want to live for someone".

Although I ultimately failed to do it.

Haha, don't cry.

I knew you'd cry. You little crybaby, you can't stop crying whenever something involves me.

But I hope you can cry less in the future.

I hope you can be happy every day, eat delicious food, sleep well, bask in the warm sun, and feel the gentle breeze.

I hope you can live well, and live a beautiful life, for my sake too.

If there is an afterlife—

If there is an afterlife, I still want to be your dragon knight.

[When that time comes, I will definitely live longer, and stay with you longer.]

So, don't come looking for me. Just pretend I'm dead.

Then, forget me.

Go meet new people, live a new life, and create your own future, one without me.

This is my final request to you.

After he finished writing the last line, the tip of his pen hovered above the paper for a long time.

Then he gently placed the last stroke:

[—Your forever loving, silly dragon knight, Luo Ye]

The writing concludes.

Luo Ye paused slightly, then lightly touched the corner of the envelope with the tip of his pen and drew a crooked little dragon pattern next to it, exactly the same as the one on the old letter.

He put down his pen, folded the letter neatly, stuffed it into the envelope, and sealed it.

After doing all this, he raised his hand and placed the new letter on top of the old one. The two suicide notes lay quietly under his pillow, carrying two tender feelings and concerns that transcended life and death.

The morning light was just right outside the window, and in the distance, the deep and distant roars of the magical beasts in the back mountains could be faintly heard. On the dome of the main hall of the Eternal Night Dragon Nest, dark purple magical patterns were still slowly flowing without anyone noticing.

Everything is just like countless ordinary mornings; nothing will change, nothing will stop.

Luo Ye leaned back in his chair, slowly closed his eyes, and a faint soreness and weariness welled up in them.

Deep within his chest, the tiny crack in the Fire Dragon King's reverse scale continued to emanate scorching pain, while the domineering and wild fire essence overflowed, quietly intertwining with the dual essences of Eternal Night and Star within his body.

The three top-tier dragon essences merged together, gradually nourishing his body and attempting to preserve his last bit of life.

[System silent notification: The Three Dragon Origins are self-nourishing, but unfortunately, the effect is almost nonexistent.]

Luo Ye quietly looked at the system's prompts, then slowly got up, opened the window, and let the cool breeze brush against her cheeks, dispelling the faint taste of blood lingering in her throat.

He gazed at the clear sky in the distance, his eyes filled with tenderness and melancholy.

......

Meanwhile, on the distant Silvermoon Peak.

The sea of ​​clouds surged, the moonlight fell, and the cool, bright silver glow spread across the entire Silver Moon Altar.

Seraphina, dressed in a pure white gown, her long silver hair fluttering in the wind, stood quietly in the center of the Silver Moon Heart Altar, her figure aloof and elegant.

Her slender fingertips gently touched her chest, her brows furrowed with an unyielding seriousness and unease.

A strange, throbbing pain shot through his chest; a faint restlessness emanating from the bond of their contract; the Silver Moon Heart's persistent, abnormal tremors; and that lingering, inescapable premonition of death...

All the strange phenomena were frantically reminding her—something had happened to her dragon knight.

She couldn't wait any longer.

"The affairs of Silver Moon Peak will be temporarily handled by the Grand Elder."

She gave instructions to the Silver Dragon Clan elders standing respectfully behind her, her tone cold and decisive.

"I have important business to attend to and will be away from home for an indefinite period of time."

The silver dragon elders behind him bowed their heads respectfully and replied, "We humbly obey Your Majesty's decree!"

Before she finished speaking, Serafina's body radiated a surge of moonlight, and silvery-white spiritual energy soared into the sky, enveloping her entirely.

The graceful human form vanished instantly, and what reappeared was a huge silver dragon with flowing scales and a holy and majestic posture.

"Boom—"

With its wings spread wide, a gale swept through the sea of ​​clouds, and the enormous dragon shadow broke through the clouds, tearing through the sky as it sped toward the Eternal Night Dragon's Nest at an astonishing speed, so fast that it tore through the air!

At the same moment, high in the sky.

Crimson flames blazed across the sky, and rolling heat waves swept across the clouds for miles.

A massive, fiery red dragon with menacing horns is speeding through the clouds in the sky.

Ignis had been flying for a long time and was almost exhausted.

Fortunately, the outline of Silvermoon Peak finally began to emerge faintly at the horizon.

Silver Moon Peak.

She's almost there.

"You bastard Luo Ye, you just wait!"

"I'm exhausted from flying all this way. If anything happens to you, I'll make you pay!"

She gritted her teeth and growled, and the frequency of her dragon wings suddenly increased several times, causing her speed to surge again!

She will reach Silver Moon Peak in less than an hour.

You little rascal, she's here!
