Lady Baby Is a Revenge Maker Chapter 67

Ancient Dragon Lapine.

 

One of the dragons who stayed in the human world for the shortest time.

 

She passed on dragon magic to human mages and greatly advanced the techniques for creating magical tools.

 

‘And because she loved humans, she founded the first Magic Tower and made it so that anyone with talent could come and learn magic and magical studies. Thanks to that, today’s vast magical civilization was able to be built.’

 

The first Magic Tower was in the wilderness.

 

People learned and trained in magic inside a small cave there.

 

And Ancient Dragon Lapine gave them jewels so they could barely gather enough money…….

 

‘Then they built the first Magic Tower on what is now the land of Allegro, where many powerful mage families lived.’

 

At that time, Allegro had erased the fact that they were originally shamans and pretended to be nobles from native mage families.

 

It was all history that the people of Allegro had completely erased within the Magic Tower.

 

“Why is the Grand Duke demanding that? By what right?”

 

Yulin quickly regained her composure and spoke with a stern face.

 

“Oh come on. Grandma. You’re weally dumb.”

 

Sepiel stuck out her tongue.

 

“You know, the ancient dragons’ property—now the only dragons left in this world are the Grand Duke and his family, so yeah, that means it belongs to him! Dragons are all friends and family—so isn’t Lady Lapine family too?”

 

“Yes. That is correct. From Ancient Dragon Lapine and Ronmo, a dragon named Shuaneria was born. And that person is the father of the first Grand Duke.”

 

Elton explained kindly.

 

“In the first place, the number of dragons is extremely small, so about 80% are relatives anyway. But if we must be precise, yes. Our Grand Duke is a direct descendant of Ancient Dragon Lapine. Therefore, if her relic exists, he has the right to inherit it.”

 

“Hmm. So that monument is under here. I can definitely feel dragon magic from somewhere.”

 

“Ah, then shall we lift the building and check?”

 

Elton said.

 

Yulin looked like she was about to grab the back of her neck.

 

“What do you think you’re doing right now?”

 

“What else? I’m going to find my family’s relic.”

 

Daihan said calmly. Yulin gritted her teeth, then barely managed to speak calmly.

 

“I don’t know whether there is property of an ancient dragon or not, but fine. We will search for it.”

 

“…….”

 

“And Grand Duke of Remdragon. I acknowledge that your presence is unusual, and since you have brought that child, I will believe that you are indeed the Grand Duke. However, your identity has not been fully verified, so we cannot just hand over items from the Magic Tower. If you truly want it, then next time, submit a proper request for a meeting and come again.”

 

Daihan’s expression hardened. Soon, a cold smile appeared.

 

“You want me to prove myself. Interesting. Then shall I show you my dragon form?”

 

Daihan moved Sepiel behind him.

 

“Child, step back for a moment.”

 

—Click. Clatter.

 

At that moment, every object in the meeting hall began to rattle and float up.

 

“Th-this magical energy…….”

 

This was the Magic Tower. Naturally, there were many mages.

 

The wizards began to struggle to breathe under the energy pouring out from Daihan’s entire body.

 

“This is real dragon magic. No—I’ve never seen magic like this before.”

 

“The more sensitive mages are suffering. Please stop!”

 

But Sepiel and the others stood there peacefully.

 

“The Grand Duke is protecting us.”

 

Elton whispered. Sepiel nodded.

 

“Stop! The Grand Duke must not forget the <Peace Treaty>! You cannot harm the people of the three rulers, including the Allegro royal family, without reason!”

 

Yulin shouted with a pale face. At those words, Daihan slowly withdrew his magic.

 

“I was only trying to prove it since you wanted it. For someone so young, you are quite fickle. Or perhaps, like a human elder, your memory is failing?”

 

“…….”

 

“Judging by your behavior, you are a rootless human who knows nothing of manners.”

 

Wow. That was a perfect hit.

 

Sepiel wanted to clap. <Kids these days have no roots and no manners.> That was one of Yulin’s usual lines.

 

Yulin bit down on her teeth and barely held herself back. Then she took a deep breath and spoke.

 

“That is enough proof. At the very least, you should give us time to find the relic. Lifting a perfectly fine building—no matter how noble you dragonkind are, that is too much.”

 

At that moment, Sepiel suddenly raised one hand.

 

“Granma!”

 

“What now!”

 

Yulin snapped in irritation.

 

“The Magic Tower vault. Room 622-7.”

 

“…….”

 

“It’s thewe, wight?”

 

“How would you…… you…….”

 

Yulin’s lips trembled.

 

‘Of course, this is information I learned in my past life.’

 

The Ancient Dragon’s monument.

 

On it was engraved information that the Magic Tower desperately wanted to hide.

 

So just in case, the Allegro royal family had spent decades finding that record stone buried beneath the tower.

 

That was about ten years ago.

 

‘That record stone is in that room.’

 

Daihan looked at Miela differently now.

 

‘This human has an incredible talent for being a spy.’

 

Once again, Daihan thought Sepiel had heard the information from her aunt.

 

Daihan—the only Dragon Grand Duke in a world that follows the path of the sword and martial arts.

 

Fortunately for Sepiel, he was someone who accepted things easily.

 

“Show me that room.”

 

“…….”

 

“If I check the room and the item is not there, I will properly apologize and compensate you. That should be enough. Otherwise…….”

 

The entire meeting hall began to shake again.

 

“Stop, please stop!”

 

“Please do not destroy this place!”

 

The mages, overwhelmed by Daihan’s immense magic, cried out.

 

Yulin had no choice but to nod.

 

“You all. Follow me. And you, human woman.”

 

Daihan pointed at Miela.

 

“Guide us to the vault yourself, so the Magic Tower cannot try any tricks.”

 

* * *

 

And so, they arrived at Room 622-7.

 

“This is the record stone.”

 

Yulin reluctantly held out a shabby-looking stone.

 

“A typical record stone.”

 

Daihan lifted the stone and poured magic into it. Then letters began to appear.

 

< I, Ancient Dragon Lapine, as the founder of the Magic Tower, leave these words. The Magic Tower belongs to all humans, and it is the inheritance of all who have talent.

 

If a human is capable and talented, regardless of status, they may come here and learn the knowledge I have provided.

 

Also, I leave half of this place to the humans of the Allegro royal family, and the other half…. to my descendants.

 

If there are any living dragons, let them stay here as they wish, guiding and raising human wizards.

 

That will complete this “amusement” of mine.>

 

“Oho.”

 

Daihan’s eyebrow twitched.

 

‘Bet you didn’t know that, huh?’

 

Sepiel thought.

 

<The first dragon to teach magic to humans.>

 

This monument contained Lapine’s ideals. But the Allegro royal family had not followed those ideals at all.

 

‘If you weren’t from Allegro, they wouldn’t even let you join the Magic Tower, and they discriminated based on connections. They turned the Magic Tower into their own private property. And all that faction fighting—it was just a stagnant mess here.’

 

Until now, the Allegro royal family had used the Magic Tower however they wanted…….

 

‘But what if the rightful descendant of Ancient Dragon Lapine finds out about that?’

 

Sepiel felt like letting out a sly giggle.

 

Daihan looked at the words, and his expression turned fierce, as if displeased.

 

“Isn’t this a monument left by my ancestor, Lapine? I had no idea this existed until now.”

 

To be honest, even if he had known, Daihan probably wouldn’t have cared much. But if Sepiel was involved—if that person named Yulin had cursed and tormented Sepiel—then it was a different story.

 

“…….”

 

Not only Yulin but even the elders all avoided Daihan’s gaze.

 

‘Damn it!’

 

Yulin cursed inwardly.

 

Even if the Grand Duke’s family claimed ownership of the Magic Tower now, they wouldn’t be able to take it away.

 

It had already gone too far for that.

 

But that didn’t mean they could completely ignore the Grand Duke’s family either.

 

“However, it is our Allegro bloodline that has developed the Magic Tower until now. And as far as I know, the Grand Duke’s family has long withdrawn from the world. So let’s not create conflict between nations unnecessarily.”

 

Yulin said.

 

“Haa, yes. That makes some sense.”

 

“Then…….”

 

Yulin tried to continue, but Daihan coldly cut her off.

 

“Since you mention reason—wouldn’t expelling that woman go directly against the spirit of my ancestor, Ancient Dragon Lapine?”

 

Miela and Miles, who had followed along without meaning to, had pale faces.

 

Daihan gestured toward Miela with his chin.

 

“That woman is the aunt of this child, who is engaged to our family. If you dare to disadvantage her, that would mean disrespecting our family.”

 

“Hah, how rude!”

 

Yulin raised her voice.

 

“That woman broke the rules and has always shown an arrogant attitude, so she is being expelled from the Magic Tower. And that child…….”

 

She seemed unwilling even to mention Sepiel, her face full of disgust.

 

“If we forgive her just because she is that child’s aunt, wouldn’t that be unfair to others? That woman left the Magic Tower without permission.”

 

Then Yulin suddenly turned her head and shouted.

 

“Miles! What are you doing?”

 

“Huh?”

 

Only then did Sepiel look closely at the surprised Miles.

 

He looked like an ordinary, kind-faced middle-aged man.

 

“Miles, you’d better think wisely. Wasn’t it me who let you rise to that position with just your skills, despite your lowly commoner background?”

 

Sepiel felt like letting out a deep sigh.

 

‘Grandma, where did you hide your conscience?’

 

Sepiel knew about Miles too.

 

A symbol of someone who had great talent but low status and poor political skills—someone who ended up doing all the hard work without ever advancing.

 

‘And in the distant future, he’s one of the people whose life gets exhausting because of the Magic Tower.’

 

That was him.

 

“Stop hesitating and personally cast out that traitor! Expel her from being your disciple right now!”

 

“…….”

 

“If you follow my words, I’ll guarantee your future. Otherwise, you must be prepared to be expelled as well!”

 

Miles bit his lip.

 

Yulin was forcing him to choose—abandon his student or be ruined together.

 

After a moment, Miles finally answered.

 

“Master of the Tower. Miela is the most talented scholar I have ever seen. I do not regret taking her as my student. Therefore, I will not cast her out.”

 

Sepiel felt a bit impressed by Miles’s courage.

 

“Hah, to ruin your life over a woman who only causes trouble. Miles, you are truly foolish.”

 

Yulin said.

 

“You are expelled as well. Miles!”

 

“Mm-hmm, do that.”

 

Sepiel answered quickly instead.

 

“……What?”

 

The response came from somewhere else.

 

“You know—according to this monument, half of this Magic Tower belongs to the Grand Duke’s family, right?”

 

Sepiel said with a bright smile.

 

“Then doesn’t that mean our Grand Duke also qualifies as an ‘elder’? That means he can take disciples too.”

 

Sepiel spoke clearly. Then she looked at Daihan.

 

“So that my aunt doesn’t get kicked out…… could you take her as your disciple?”

 

Sepiel spoke like an innocent child—like she was getting more excited as she talked.

 

“Then she can learn real magic. Wow—that would be the best, right?”

 

Everyone’s mouths fell open at the completely unexpected idea.

 

The first to recover was Miles.

 

With a troubled expression, he gently spoke to Sepiel.

 

“Um, Princess. That’s not entirely wrong, but the Grand Duke of Remdragon is not someone who would easily accept a human disciple. And human magic isn’t fake magic either.”

 

“Mmm—but.”

 

Sepiel tilted her head.

 

“You said the one who taught magic to humans was the Ancient Dragon. So if you think about it, our Grand Duke’s magic is the real one.”

 

“…….”

 

“If the real thing exists, why learn from something worse? Wouldn’t that be dumb?”

 

Miles was so shocked that he shut his mouth.

 

‘Lilia… I’m seeing you for the first time today, but your child is incredible.’

 

At that moment, Miles couldn’t help but think that to himself.
