Chapter 3

Although the novel did not describe the scene of Jayna’s first visit to the tower in detail, Jayna already knew what was going to happen and what Diamide was about to say.

The father who killed her in his previous life said the same thing.

-Your relatives left you to me because they had something to rip off! You cunning little b*stards!

-How do I know she gave birth to you among other men?

-Face and personality. They all look like your mother’s to the point they’re disgusting me. I already have enough of it.

In her previous life, and in this life, her mother gave her life, gave her a name, but what her father gave her were ridicule, scorn,

And death.

“…….”

Jayna’s eyes were expressionless. Even though she was only 10 years old, she didn’t sway at all.

‘Is she freezing because she is too scared?’

Michael looked at her and frowned as if he couldn’t understand, but Jayna didn’t care.

“Ah I almost missed an important information.”

After some time, Michael opened his mouth again.

“I don’t think you and your relatives lied. But you haven’t been officially recognized as the real daughter of Tower Lord right? You better be careful.”

He was right. It will be dangerous for a child to have no guardian at all. Especially if it was a part of dragon tribe.

Her relatives were too busy to tell her anything, but Jayna, who read The Sword of Revenge, had a lot of knowledge about this world.

“The first regeant was mixed with dragon blood. The holy sword that is lying in the temple was made of dragon bones.” (Michael)

Michael looked down as if weighing Jayna’s expression.

“Dragon is a valuable ingredient. However, the Dragon clan is strong, so they usually aim at young dragons who haven’t awakened yet. That’s why Dragon clan protects the young dragon until it awakens, but you don’t have a protector right now?”

Jayna nodded her head in the same indifferent face as before.

“I can’t help it, I have to bear with it. Thank you for your concern.”

“Well, don’t worry no one is going to cause trouble without the permission of the Tower Lord.”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

“But still, there are some crazy guys in this tower.”

He thought this would be a surprise, but Jayna was still calm.

Embarrassed by Jayna’s reaction, Michael raised his voice without realizing it.

“You don’t look ten years old, do you? Very precocious. I expected to have a cute little sister, now there’s nothing I can do for you.”

“I’m glad I don’t have to bother you.”

Her youthful voice, skinny body, but not missing cheeks, and her big round eyes. All her features portray a cute weak chick.

‘But the attitude is completely different from what she looks like.’

Michael was sarcastic that she wasn’t cute unlike what he had expected, but there wasn’t any agitation on Jayna’s face this time.

‘I don’t even know if she’s being sarcastic because she’s young.’

Since there are no children in the tower, it could have been that he set the level too high.

‘But if it’s really weak and pure and he just failed to notice it, she would be hurt as it is…’

He was told that she was threatened by other wizards because she was denied by her father.

It was not strange even if she burst into tears right away.

Jayna’s calm reaction, as if she was already familiar with this kind of treatment, was something Michael never thought of.

No, it was like it was normal to see a dead body anywhere.

‘It feels like this side of her is quite interesting….”

Michael narrowed his eyes.

It was a situation he didn’t like, but he couldn’t think of anything to say anymore.

“Yes, then. Now I will guide you through the tower.”

In the end, Michael had no choice but to back down with an ungainly heart.

‘What the hell is this kid?’

A child brought by the dragons saying that she was the daughter of Tower Lord.

He had a lot of expectations in mind while coming to the tower, but she was a child who was far from any of his guesses.

‘…..Yes, it doesn’t matter what her personality is. Because the important thing isn’t the personality. This kid is a dragon race.’

Just like what he told the little kid earlier, he couldn’t experiment without Diamide’s approval on the tower.

But even so, the research itself was not banned. Watching from the side, he could still find information about the Balaur whose ecology was barely revealed.

He didn’t even ask Diamide what to do with this kid. It won’t be a big problem if he take charge of ‘taking care’ of it.

‘Rather, isn’t that good for this young dragon?’

It was a kid who couldn’t bring one relative to protect her when she came to a faraway tower.

The dragons abandoned her, and the evidence of injustice was clear.

Diamide said that she was a symbol of negation. Probably, this child must have been living in vain and was in a situation where she had no choice.

There wasn’t a scratch on the body, and it seemed to be okay to be an object for observation.

‘Let’s just let her stay quietly in the tower on a line so that she doesn’t stand out to the Tower lord.’

Just like that. Michael simply decided on Jayna’s disposition.

***

Jayna was lost in her thoughts as she walked along with Michael.

‘Based on the novel, it looks like I died while I was in the tower.’

Now she was worried about what would happen to her, but Michael, who was not that friendly to her, was leading the way around the Tower as if he was being generous.

But the process was not very pleasant.

‘Is this how cousins are?’

In the Balaur village, Taylor would be anxious because she couldn’t beat her, and now Michael talked to her openly in the tower.

She was wondering why everyone was so anxious and fussy. Anyway, later on, they’ll eventually get tired of her for being expressionless.

For now, he seems to be interested in the facts that she was the daughter of Tower Lord and that she is a dragon, but Michael in the novel was not a character who was interested in ‘living beings’ for a long time.

‘If I hadn’t had the memories of my previous life, I would have been swayed to the extent of saying that I had a good family….’

In fact, it wasn’t just a problem with her cousin.

There’s no one who would like her anyway. She and the mixed-blooded ones were not wanted by anyone.

At this point, She was not blessed. And she’s tired of that, too.

To make matters worse, he (Michael) came from this Tower.

A place where wizards were crazy about magic. They do every and any means or methods for research.

Wizards were originally those who possessed power. And from a young age Michael became obsessed about magic, and chose to hung around the tower after losing his parents to learn and improve his self.

The only problem of being in the tower was, it was impossible to learn humanity from the tower wizards.

In the novel, Diamide, the master of the tower and the wizards under him, were not recognized as the axis of evil for nothing.

It was a place that wouldn’t be called a strange place even if it explodes because the wizards had the personality and the power to do so.

Nevertheless, Jayna was not anxious at all.

Thanks to reading the original novel, she knew who was dangerous and what to watch out for.

And above all, she had no intention of doing anything.

She didn’t want to be recognized by her father and struggle to live. So there was no danger unless she moved first.

‘It is difficult for ordinary wizards to cause trouble because of the rules of the tower.’

Many are not aware of this, but most of the wizards weren’t those who would touch a child first.

It was not because they have a strong sense of protection for children, but because they were lunatics who couldn’t feel the excitement from the weak.

Even Michael, who was known for his twisted mind at the tower, was not reacting much, so she won’t be a target unless she revealed herself as part of the dragon race.

‘My goal is just experiencing small luxury.’

When Jayna finished organizing in her mind, the two arrived at the restaurant.

Michael gazed at Jayna arrogantly.

“This is the restaurant.”

It was dinner time, so food was in full swing. A fragrant smell stabbed her nose.

‘Is it the way they take their food and eat it?’

Even though it was time for them to be hungry, the restaurant was still empty. At the spacious table, only a few wizards were munching on food in their seats.

‘As I read in the novel. Wizards are not interested in food.’

Even though the food was delicious, they were eating it dryly.

There was someone who was having meals while reading research books. Another one did not even care about what he was eating while having a sleepy face.

None of the wizards here were feeling the taste of the food.

‘I guess this is a noble class.’

They said that even if day and night changed, the wizard doesn’t come to the restaurant to eat at all saying it interferes with their research. They often rather eat meals with their reagents.

Jayna, who was observing the wizards, turned her head and glanced at the food.

“What kind of kid is on the tower?” (Wizard1)

“Is that Michael-nim with that kid? What is it?” (Wizard2)

At the sudden appearance of Jayna, there was a murmur of astonishment from the wizards in the restaurant.

It was said in a small voice, but Jayna flowing with dragon blood and Michael, who had a strong magical power, were able to catch even the little whispering sound.

Unlike Jayna, who didn’t care whether they talk or not, Michael looked at the crowd of wizards with distaste.

“You’re dirtily interested in someone else’s affair.”

Halt

As soon as he spat out those words, the wizards unconsciously hold their breathe.

Michael, who had been staring at the wizards for a long time, turned to Jayna only after he had been relieved.

Just in time to see Jayna picking up her food.

“Hey! Why would you hold the bread with your hand? Don’t you see that?”

“Ah.”

Michael shouted disgustingly as he looked at Jayna, who was taking the bread with her small hand.

“There’s a plate and tongs next to it. Look at all the bread crumbs on your clothes. It’s dirty.”

Michael, who thought she was done with the restaurant, sat in front of her, contrary to Jayna’s expectations.

Maybe he did that to show favor to her.
