Reawakening: Primordial Dragon with Limitless Mana - Chapter 152: Don’t pry

Chapter 152: Don’t pry

The recovery went smoothly after that.

Now that Averis was no longer resisting the medication, it was expected for her to wake up in a few days.

Naturally, Argon was staying until he saw his grandchild awake and healthy.

Hades and Luna stayed in the room for a while, until Luna began to feel tired. He gently guided her back to her room.

“What did you say to her?” the silver-haired girl asked as she walked beside him.

Hades held her by the shoulders, steadying her trembling legs after standing for so long.

“I just told her to get up,” he replied plainly. That alone proved how deeply she was devoted to him.

The same woman who had been ready to throw her life away—leaving behind her parents and her loving grandfather—suddenly chose to live again simply because Hades had given her a command.

He couldn’t tell if he should laugh or cry.

Luna chuckled softly. “I think she’s going to stay with us now.”

Hades gave a wry smile. “I hope not.”

Soon, they reached the stairs, and Luna glared at them as if facing her greatest enemy.

Seeing her struggle, Hades suddenly scooped her into his arms without warning.

“Ah—” She gasped in surprise, but didn’t resist. Instead, her arms instinctively wrapped around his neck.

Hades carried her up the stairs with ease.

Luna looked at him, her cheeks warming. “So charming,” she murmured, rubbing her cheek lightly against his chest.

Hades gave her a gentle smile. “What would you like for dinner?” he asked.

The maid had suggested meals that would help with recovery—something rich in vegetables, red meat, and lean protein to rebuild muscle and restore blood.

But Hades didn’t want to be too strict with the diet.

“Anything’s fine,” Luna said after a moment’s thought. “Just… not too sweet.”

Hades nodded as they reached the landing and pushed open the door.

Inside, Peri was already awake.

She blinked groggily, her eyes landing on Hades as he carried Luna.

Still half-dazed, she simply raised her arms toward him.

For a moment, Hades didn’t understand.

Then Luna leaned close and whispered, “She wants a lift too.”

Surprised, Hades lowered Luna onto the bed and, without hesitation, scooped Peri up in a bridal carry.

The girl didn’t want to go anywhere—she only wanted to stay close to him.

She nestled her head against his chest, her eyes half-closed with drowsy comfort.

Looking up into his crimson gaze, she murmured, “She summoned me again.”

Hades froze for a heartbeat before realizing what she meant.

Luna’s face tightened as she asked, “Samarella did?”

Peri gave a faint hum in reply.

Hades’s brows knit together, his hold on her tightening as he asked, “Did she hurt you?”

He hadn’t felt anything through their Bond, which unsettled him. Or… had he simply failed to notice?

Regret washed over him, but Peri cupped his cheek and spoke more clearly, “Stop worrying. She didn’t do anything to me.”

Hades let out a quiet breath of relief and gave a small nod.

“Sit down first,” the elf requested.

He obeyed, settling on the bed with Peri still in his arms.

Luna moved closer, staying silent but eager to hear what was coming.

Peri stayed quiet for a moment before finally asking, “Hades… have you ever had a deep conversation with the beast inside you?”

Hades frowned in confusion. “About what?”

“What really happened back then? Why do people hate him so much?” she pressed, exhaling in frustration. “Samarella was blaming him again—saying he stole his brothers’ wives, killed his comrades’ loved ones, and all sorts of things.”

Her eyes met his, steady and sincere. “Listen, that doesn’t matter to me. Truly, it doesn’t. The Primordial was someone else—you are not him. Whatever he did won’t change how I see you. But… if those accusations are false, I want to hear the truth. I want to know the real history of what happened.”

Luna nodded. “I’m curious too, Hades. No history book or journal ever gave any solid account of what happened a thousand years ago. There’s nothing about the war with the Celestials, nor the rivalry that followed among the Primordials.”

Luna had always been fascinated with the past.

She was a diligent student who spent her free time buried in books. At her grandmother’s home, there was a vast library filled with thousands of volumes, and she had read most of what interested her.

But none of them had ever revealed the answer she sought—the cause of the rift.

The reason the God of Chaos turned against his own kind.

Though it wasn’t her main focus in history, she had read more than enough on the subject, yet her curiosity remained unsatisfied.

Hades let out a heavy sigh and leaned back.

Looking at the two, he asked, “Do you really think I never tried to ask him about the past?”

Peri blinked. “He refused to tell you?”

Hades shook his head. “Not exactly. He said I wasn’t ready yet. That the weight of the truth could threaten my life. He told me to be patient.”

Peri frowned. “But you’re already in danger. The entire dragon realm is after you.”

Before Hades could respond, a shadow stretched from his shoulder and spoke in his place.

“Dangers beyond this realm.”

Both girls yelped in surprise.

It was the first time Luna had ever heard Zerathos’s voice, and Peri, though familiar with him, was caught off guard by his sudden appearance.

Zerathos’s crimson eyes glimmered as he went on. “There are beings who could erase Hades’s existence in the blink of an eye if he were to uncover what they did, or the purpose behind it.”

Gathering her courage, Luna asked in a hesitant voice, “Are you… talking about the Celestials?”

Those glowing red eyes turned toward her.

A heavy silence filled the room before the dragon gave a cold warning. “We don’t speak of them.”

Luna’s heart raced, and she quickly nodded in silence.

Hades sighed. “Stop intimidating her.” After a pause, he asked, “Then why not tell Samarella the truth? She wouldn’t be in danger, would she?”

“She wouldn’t believe me. She’s blinded.” The voice replied flatly. Then, as it dissolved back into Hades’s body, it left behind one last warning: “Don’t pry into matters that will only hurt you.”

The three exchanged uneasy glances. If even the Primordial One warned them against it… then naturally, they all reached the same decision. This subject was no longer to be spoken of.

Some things are better to be left for the future.
