Back at the Aston manse in the regional capital, Patrick and I were in his office, separated by his large, unadorned desk. The room also held plain chairs, old sofa sets, and a shelf crammed only with practical, work-related books and documents. While there were no paintings, as one might expect to find in an office, I could see the faded outlines where some had once hung on the walls.

My brother-in-law sat directly across from me on the other sofa. He was a young man with slightly dark blond hair, deep blue irises, and a medium build that was neither too tall nor too short. His eyes drooped slightly, giving him a gentle appearance, but ever since I had met him, he had always had bags under them. He looked worn and exhausted.

“Were you aware of the existence of the natural disaster relief program?” I asked.

“You mean the subsidy program for when a natural disaster occurs?” Patrick replied finally.

“Yes,” I said. “It covers events such as floods or landslides caused by storms or heavy rains, or damage from earthquakes, fires, insect outbreaks, and the like. The national government will provide monetary aid for that region’s economic revival and treatment of its people. Harm caused by dragons and other monsters is another valid reason for invoking the aid program.”

“What?”

I laid the subsidy application on the desk and pushed it toward Patrick.

“Black Knight Cody Macmillan has verified that the sickness that occurred in Riberry was due to dragon poison spilling out of a deceased dragon egg. You should prepare the documents and submit them to the Urban Development Office at the royal palace—you’ll receive a subsidy and condolence money for the people who suffered sickness.”

“I’ll make arrangements immediately.”

Patrick reached for the form. Disaster relief grants were expedited, and it would not take him long to fill out the application. It wouldn’t even be hard for him to get the accompanying documentation needed.

“Also, about the sickness two decades ago,” I began.

“About Rondale Village?” Patrick clarified.

“Yes. I believe the cause of that outbreak will also be determined as the fault of a deceased dragon’s toxins.”

Patrick pulled back from the application and clasped his hands together over his lap. “So the calamity twenty-two years ago was also caused by dragon poison. I see.”

“Dragon bones were discovered in the forest adjacent to Riberry Village,” I continued. “Sir Cody will be writing up a report to confirm that this affected Rondale, which was downstream at the time. Thus you can apply for aid for Rondale now, as well. The people have died, yes, but you can revitalize the orchard after purifying the land there.”

Rondale had been an important place in terms of income for Aston territory. After using the disaster relief funds to purify the dragon poison, the village’s land would become clean once again. The orchard could be revitalized and its products could be sold.

The rumors about the epidemic of unknown origin would also disappear when the government subsidized the project and publicly announced that a dragon corpse had been the cause.
