Chapter 440: -185- My name is Odosia_3

"What do you need the money for?"

Kael’s expression fell:

"Count and Countess fell in battle, and the upper echelons of the Mining Workshop were completely replaced. Now the workshop is demanding that we mine more ore. If we don’t meet the standards, they will deduct our wages..."

"My father has already passed away from illness, and only my brother and I are left at home. Before, we had our father to protect us, and the workshop wasn’t so strict, but now... everything is different."

"To treat my father’s illness, I racked up a lot of debt..."

"I need to pay it back... and I need to provide for my family... so I must mine more silver."

"Sorry, Miss Black Dragon, I won’t be able to come here as often anymore."

After listening to Kael’s explanation, I fell silent.

To be honest, I don’t really understand kinship, nor do I really understand family.

As a giant dragon, I also cannot fathom the meaning and value of money to mortals.

But I felt a strange impulse.

An impulse that even I found inexplicable...

I turned around, and under Kael’s puzzled gaze, I returned to the cave that I had excavated.

I picked out the smallest block of Mithril I had found over the years but after a thought, I swapped it for a slightly larger one.

"Take this, this piece of Mithril should be enough for your needs."

I said.

Kael was stunned for a moment, looking at the Mithril ingot that was even larger than his head, his expression somewhat slack:

"Miss Black Dragon... this... such a large piece of Mithril... for... for me?!"

"Take it. I am very pleased with the food you bring each time, Kael, you have won the recognition of the great Black Dragon, and for the time being, you have become one whom the great Black Dragon is willing to communicate with. Consider this Mithril as a reward for you."

I lifted my head once more, and said haughtily.

"Recognition? Reward?"

Kael was stunned.

"Yes, recognition and reward."

I nodded arrogantly.

Kael suddenly became excited:

"Miss Black Dragon, do you mean that we are friends now?"

Friends?

I frowned.

Looking at the small Sub-human excitedly wagging his tail, I snorted lightly and said:

"You think too much. I never befriend weak beings. This is merely a grant."

"Not... friends then."

Kael seemed somewhat disappointed.

I don’t know why, but seeing his drooping ears, I felt an unexplainable irritation grow within me.

"However... you can be the exception."

Somehow, I blurted out these words.

Even I was stunned after saying them.

I must be mad...

For a Black Dragon to stoop so low as to discuss friendship with an insignificant Sub-human!

I am a Black Dragon!

A cruel and merciless Black Dragon!

And what left me even more disconcerted was the fact that I did not find myself as repulsed by this truth as I had imagined...

Habit is a frightening thing.

Unknowingly, I had become unlike myself!

"Remember, I hate tardiness. There will not be a next time."

I threw these cold words behind me and walked away.

But perhaps, ’fled’ would be more accurate.

"Miss Black Dragon! May I know your name?"

The Sub-human Kael asked loudly behind me.

Name?

I paused slightly.

A name, huh...

Honestly, I did not know my own name.

At least... at that moment, it seemed I had forgotten what it was.

In a daze, I seemed to recall the call I heard in the darkness on the day I awakened.

An inexplicable tremor rose within me...

"Odosia, you may call me Odosia."

I answered.

"Odosia?"

Kael was stunned once more.

Looking at his dazed expression, I frowned:

"What? Do you have an issue with this great name?"

Kael hastily shook his head, while shaking it, he also explained:

"No, no, no! Not at all! Of course not, it is indeed a grand name!"

Saying this, he scratched his head:

"I just... never imagined that Miss Black Dragon would share a name with a Totem that our tribe’s ancestors once worshipped in legend..."
