## Plot

Arin catches the sight of a young man in his early twenties, who looks good with white silver hair and silver armor and that man again shouts loudly that he will buy him for 10,000 gold coins. With his silver hair, silver armor, and even a silver cloak, he looks all white and thinks that Arin is just a person who likes white things, but the crowd in the auction house seemed to be able to recall other facts that he didn't know about. When one shouted who he's, and before he could continue speaking, it comes from all directions. People talk to each other as Darios fon Goldbruf, the first knight of Karsel, a Dragon Slayer and the Silver Knight. Arin, knowing that there were two more people besides the silver young man, looked around and soon realized that it's all a title given to that white young man, and looked at him with curious eyes. He thinks that he doesn't know what he is, but he thinks he's a great person. The first knight of Karsel, Silver Knight Darios Fon Goldbruf, who recently defeated the evil white dragon Grateus, and his reputation as a Dragon Slayer has gone far beyond the Empire. Of course Darios is a great person, but Arin doesn't know, and he approaches Arin, who's watching him so dazedly, and asks to the person that if they will give up this boy again, he will be his. After a moment's silence, a middle-aged man in a flashy robe smiles broadly after the two fierce rivals over Darios' words, saying that if he want the boy, he'll back away, but he's surprised he has the same taste as them. Darios looks around him in embarrassment. Aren't the eyes full of unfamiliar sympathy falling on him from all directions? The silver-haired young man Darios and the red long-haired handsome young man Arin. Even if it was drawn as a picture, it's a sight to behold, and among them, an excited face can be seen as he imagined the close friendship^^ between Darios and Arin. Darios screams inwardly. Darios thinks that they must have misunderstood something, but he can't even speak and just takes Arin and hurries out of the auditorium. People say that Darios is interested it, and never say never. It seems that they are quite proud of the way they speak with pride, and the revered Silver Knight have the same hobby with them, but Darios leaves behind those noises and drags Arin to the front yard of the auction house with his face flushed. In the front yard of the auction house, dozens of objects called 'wagons' that Arin saw in the plaza stand neatly, and one of them is slowly approaching Darios and him. A dignified middle-aged woman in the wagon sticks her head out the window, looks at Arin, and mutters that he's that boy, but Darios doesn't respond and his horse 'Grateus' (the horse is named after the dragon he killed) is dragged by the soldier get on on Darios von Goldbruf, who is the first knight of Karsel, Silver Knight and Dragon Slayer with a high reputation, will soon wake up to forbidden love. Rumors will be circulating all over Karsel, so Darios cannot feel comfortable. He grumbles to himself as to why he is like this, but it has already happened. Darios and Arin and others slowly exit the auction house and start running horses. The wagon is comfortable and the people are friendly. Upon taking a look, Arin decides that Darios is not of the 'gay' that Arin had heard of.

A gigantic dragon the size of a small hill sits on the side of the lava lake and asks Karstein that what happened next. The largest dormant volcano in the Lartead Mountains, 'Erghe Shu Karstein'. In a cave of this gigantic dormant volcano named Karstein's Flame, where human access is denied due to its blazing heat and suffocating hot air, this place has been the cozy home of the ancient red dragon Karstein since 2000 years ago. A hot lava lake that melts even stones. Arin, the red dragon, is also very hot, so in the middle of the lava lake sitting nearby, and can see a dragon immersing most of its huge body in the lava lake and continuing the story with a kind voice. Karstein says that the human hero drew the legendary sword Dimension Blade and rushed to the Demon King of Destruction, Darberanios. Common human legends of heroes, and many adventure stories that are not even acknowledged as historical facts, Arin has always enjoyed hearing such stories. Karstein asks Arin that whether children are interested in ancient knowledge and wisdom rather than talking about humans, but why he is interested in that story. Most dragons look down on humans. Actually, humans are ridiculous, but for Arin, the adventures of humans were much more fun than ancient knowledge, using mana to use magic, and feeling the flow of nature and controlling spirits. So, when Arin got bored, he flew to the Lartead Mountains and played while listening to stories of adventures from Karstein. After thinking about the past for a long time, Arin thinks that Mr. Karstein will be very angry, so he must return the book later. As the wagon slowly slowed down, he wonders if it had arrived, so he sticks his head out and looks around him. Darios orders them to camp there today. Arin's eyes come into view of a vast vacant lot amongst the lush trees. The world has already become dark, and the moon of the spirits, Eshtar, is only gently illuminating their footsteps.

An open space in the middle of the forest. It is a place purposely carved out of trees for travelers in the forest. While the wagon slowly stops in the middle of the open space, Darios and 20 other men each tie their horses to a tree stump. A middle-aged woman who had been riding in the wagon kindly asks Arin what he was doing without getting off. After a while, the wagon door opened and he wore a pretty light pink dress with long red hair that fell to his waist and braided it neatly in a row. A pretty girl with a yellow ribbon on top gently gets off the wagon. In the wagon, it's Arin, who had just changed the clothes the middle-aged woman had given him. Darios looks at Arin as if admiringly, and says that this is exactly the same, and even with his own eyes, he looks like Ione, but Arin, who has become a pretty girl in a pink dress, often walks away to the soldiers who are preparing to camp, piling up all sorts of branches and straws. It is because he's more curious about what the soldiers from the other side were doing [throwing embers on straw while clashing two stones] rather than Darios' words. After a while, the fire finally ignites and soon the bonfires start to light up here and there. As the bonfire burns, people start preparing their meals, and Arin sits by a bonfire and looks around, just as Darios told him. Darios asks Arin, who is busy watching the actions of the soldiers around him, what's his name. He replies that his name is Arin. He asks him if he wonders why he's dressed like that. Arin wonders if these are clothes he doesn't normally wear. He tilts his head and asks what's wrong, and Darios sees him and blushes for a moment. He tells him it's really the same. He wonders what is the same. He asks him that he doesn't wonder why he's dressed in women's clothes. Arin, who now knows quite a bit about the human world and is quick to notice, thinks it's said that men's clothes are different from women's clothes, and quickly replies that it is curious. He asks if he was really curious,,,, It wasn't that he wasn't curious, but Arin's current interest lies elsewhere. This is because they are more curious about the source of this fragrant smell that tickles the tip of Arin's nose. He is hungry, and he thinks this man named Darios continues to talk without knowing the speed of others,,,,, He says he'll explaining why he bought him, one of his friends is a regular at [Traveler's Resting Place], and he saw him and said his face is similar to Ione,,,,, and he is right, so let's eat and talk,,. Darios' story is drooling through his ear canals, and seeing Arin swallowing his saliva as he stares at only the saucepan over there, Darios can't help but smile bitterly.

He explains to him that he has to take the role of Ione. Only after he was full did Arin listen to Darios' story, and the contents were roughly as follows. Darios is a knight of the Karsel Kingdom, and there is a princess named Ione in the realm. The princess looks just like Arin, and Princess Ione has to go to the Batran Kingdom instead of her because of an emergency is to do. He thinks it's simple. Arin completely overlooks that he had to learn manners as a princess, other manners, court manners, etc., not to be exposed as a man, and to perform his acting thoroughly so that others would not notice. Things didn't go so badly, and Darios and everyone else were kind, so the plan was to set up for three days at the auction house —once sold as a slave, then go back to the main body in a shady place to get rid of the person who bought him and go back to exploring the world— for a while. Leaving him behind, Arin leaves Darios, who no longer speaks to him, and approaches the middle-aged woman in the wagon—she had introduced herself as Reyses—.

Darios fon Goldbruf. He joined the Knights of Karsel Kingdom at the age of 15 and took the honor of the first knight in three years. After that, he created numerous adventure stories for 5 years while wandering the continent to rescue humans suffering from monsters called Silver Knight. By defeating a white dragon Grateus, he was able to obtain the highest honor of being a 'Dragon Slayer'. Arin, who's talking to Reyses in the wagon, realizes only then what the Dragon Slayer who called Darios meant, and was startled. He thinks that then that person killed the dragon. Arin glances at Darios, who seems to be contemplating something while warming the bonfire outside. Dragon Slayer.... When he spoke these words, there was anger in Karstein's kind voice. For his own honor and greed, things like garbage that approached and killed a dragon that did no harm were the opinions of Karstein. (Arin thought that he would kill all humans and cause no harm even if they came near his house, but he couldn't say it out loud.) So, Arin couldn't hear about the Dragon Slayer in the adventures of humans, and even more so, the Dragon Slayer. Curious about it was growing. What the hell would a human have to do with catching a dragon? It is the rule of the world that when he hit a rock with an egg, the egg broth flows out,, but Karstein only said that if he live, there can be muddy rocks and stone eggs. Now, the person who will answer his curiosity is basking in a bonfire in a place less than 10 steps away. Arin slowly got up - and Arin was obedient to Reyses' words to act quietly and cautiously - and approached Darios. Watching the red-haired Arin reflected in the bonfire and radiating a bizarre beauty, Darios feels a tingling sensation in his chest. Because he remembers a woman he knows,,,,, (Arin is currently disguised as a woman^^) He asks him what's going on. For some reason, he thought Darios' expression was a bit strange, but Arin decided to ask the most curious questions first. He asks him to tell him the story of catching the dragon.
