Solcarion- the Dragon God who had once been moved by the earnest prayer of the woman later revered as Saintess Miella- was the very being who had become the seal that restrained the Devil, the one feared across the world as the Demon King.
Ocean found it difficult to reconcile that truth.
The child he had been treating with such easy affection, the one he had scolded, protected, and indulged without a second thought… was the very Dragon God who had once answered his prayers. The same god who had granted him protection powerful enough to stand against even the authority of the system itself.
The realization refused to settle properly in his mind.
He did not know what he felt more strongly- shock or disappointment.
Sol had told him more than once that he was not a child, that Ocean should stop treating him like one. Yet Ocean had never been able to see past the small frame, the youthful face, and the way the boy lingered around him so naturally.
