?Shortly after they killed Devin and his subordinates, they returned to their city.

The citizens trembled in fear when they saw Ace.

Captain Noah and the others wanted to avoid misunderstandings spreading throughout the city, so they explained everything in detail.

But even so, some of the citizens were afraid of Ace because they still could not forget what Dezmavas and his followers had done to them and their city.

"Ace is our hero. Why are you treating him like this? Have you forgotten what he has done to us and our city?" Captain Noah was unhappy with their reactions.

The citizens did not say anything.

Of course, they did not hate Ace.

They trembled in fear because they remembered Dezmavas when they saw him.

It could be said their bodies reacted on their own when they saw him because Ace was a dragon, like Dezmavas.

"It's alright, Captain Noah." Ace could not blame the citizens because he knew what they had been through.

"Alright. Disperse! Disperse!" Captain Noah was sad when he saw Ace's expression, so he told the citizens to disperse.

After checking Scarlett and Valeria's condition, Ace headed to the backyard and remained there.

Actually, he wanted to stroll around the city, but he changed his mind.

Several children and old people trembled in fear when they saw him, so he decided not to leave Scarlett's house.

"How can I turn back into a human?" all mages in Nightshire City could not help him because Kane used Tier 6 magic to turn him into a magical beast.

'If only Saintess Alicia were still in Nightshire City.'

He let out a deep sigh.

"Leader…"

"Leader…"

"Leader…"

His underlings, who were tasked with protecting Scarlett's house, approached him.

Even though Ace did not say anything, they knew he was sad.

That was why they approached him because they wanted to accompany him and cheer him up.

"Leader, even though you are a dragon now, you still look cool. However, I'm better than you because you only have one tail while I have three." After saying that, Renea brought out her three tails.

"You don't need to care about her words, Leader. I also have one tail like you." Like Renea, Leena also let out her tail.

"Pfft." a suppressed peal of laughter burst out.

Ace knew his underlings tried to cheer him up, but he did not expect them to talk about the tail as if their tails were their life.

After transforming herself into a three-tailed fox, Renea rubbed her head on Ace's body. "Leader, in your view, what race will be born if a dragon and a fox mate?"

Before Ace could answer Renea's question, Leena shouted, "Renea, you fox girl! This is different from our previous plan. Why are you seducing our Leader?"

"What's wrong with that? There is no rule that forbids us from seducing our Leader." Renea responded calmly.

"Our plan is only to cheer him up. You are not allowed to seduce him." Leena said as she pointed her right index finger at Renea. "Put some distance between you two now!"

"I don't want to. Hehe." Renea rubbed her head on Ace's body again.

"Haha." Ace could not help but laugh.

Ace's underlings were surprised by his sudden laughter.

Renea walked toward Leena and uttered, "It seems like our plan works."

"Good!" Leena and the others were happy.

That day, Renea and the others succeeded in reducing the sadness in Ace's body to the point that he could laugh happily.

The following morning, Scarlett regained consciousness, but Valeria was still in a coma.

"City mistress, you finally regained consciousness." Neia immediately helped Scarlett sit up.

"Where am I?" Scarlett did not know that she was in her house because the design of her house was different.

"We are in your home." Neia gave an honest answer.

"My home?" Scarlett suddenly remembered Aidan. "What about Aidan and his subordinates?"

"You don't need to worry about them, city mistress." Neia responded, "Leader has killed Aidan's subordinates. As for Aidan, the citizens are torturing him right now."

She then continued, "But I think Aidan will die in a few days because the healing mages are no longer willing to heal his wounds."

"Ace? Did he save us?" Scarlett inquired.

"The ones who saved us were Saintess Alicia and her subordinates." Neia told Scarlett what happened after Scarlett fell unconscious.

"Sister Valeria…" Scarlett was sad when she saw Valeria. "Where is Ace now?"

"Leader is in the backyard now." Neia responded, "Do you want to meet him?"

"Yes. I want to meet him." Scarlett had not met Ace for several months, so she wanted to meet him immediately.

"Alright." Neia helped Scarlett walk to the backyard.

Scarlett's face turned angry, and she immediately retrieved her bow when she saw Ace in the backyard.

Neia still had not told Scarlett anything, so Scarlett did not know that the dragon in front of her was her lover.

"City mistress, don't attack him. It's Leader." Neia stopped Scarlett from attacking Ace.

"What?" Scarlett said in surprise.

"Scarlett? You have regained consciousness?" Ace walked closer to Scarlett.

"You…are you really Ace?" Ace's voice changed after he turned into a dragon, so Scarlett was unfamiliar with his voice.

Ace did not answer Scarlett's question immediately and shifted his gaze to Neia.

Even though Ace did not say anything, Neia knew what he had in mind. "I'm sorry, Leader. I thought it was better for you to explain everything, so I did not tell her anything." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Ace let out a sigh before finally returning his attention to Scarlett. "Scarlett, Kane turned me into a dragon using a magic."

He began explaining everything to Scarlett.

He also told her that he became a wanted person after killing Aidan's subordinates.

"Ace…" Scarlett felt bad for trying to attack him earlier.

Neia immediately left the backyard because she wanted to give them some time alone. freewe(b)novel.com

"Ace…" Scarlett dropped her bow and walked closer to him.

After Ace lowered his head, she immediately embraced his head.

Ace was a dragon now, so she could not hug his body because his body was too big for her.

The sadness within him disappeared instantly when Scarlet cupped his head and pressed her forehead against his.

He even felt warm because he could feel her love when their foreheads met.

After separating their foreheads, Scarlett looked at him with sad eyes.

'Ace, you have suffered a lot for the sake of us and this city.'

Ace became a wanted person because of them.

And he was also turned into a dragon because of them.

Ace had suffered a lot for the sake of Nightshire City and its citizens.

If it were not for Ace, Nightshire City would have been destroyed, and many of its citizens killed.

That was why tears of sadness brimmed her eyes because they were the reason why he suffered a lot.

"Don't be sad. I'm sure I can turn back into a human later." Even though the possibility was small, Ace believed he could return to being human in the future.

"Un." Scarlett nodded her head.

"By the way, where is Valeria? Is she still in a coma?" Ace inquired.

"Yes. She is still in a coma." Scarlett replied with a sad voice. "But don't worry. I'm sure sister Valeria will regain consciousness soon."

"I hope so." Ace responded.

And with this, the duo began to chat about many things.
