Emilia:  “If we can get blood from Volcanica…” Emilia's ultimate goal in joining the royal selection was to acquire the dragon’s blood and use it to thaw the frozen forest of Elior. All of Emilia’s kindred were trapped in ice because her power had run wild. Freeing them was why she had come this far.

Emilia:  And now Emilia had stumbled upon what she had been searching for all this time. She was so stunned, she forgot to breathe. If she could obtain Volcanica’s blood here, then there was no longer any need for her to pursue the throne. “I…”

Beatrice:  “Sorry for confusing you, Emilia, but the blood you are thinking of and the blood Volcanica has are different things." Beatrice explained to Emilia, who had been on the verge of losing her reason for participating in the royal selection.

Emilia:  "Eh?" Emilia’s eyes widened. “What do you mean? I studied this very carefully. The dragon’s blood that will melt the ice trapping everyone is supposed to be in the castle. So…”

Beatrice:  “That isn’t wrong. The dragon blood bequeathed to the royal family of Lugunica after they forged the covenant with the Holy Dragon Volcanica can heal any disease, and has the power to restore any withered, blasted land. It should even be able to thaw the Elior woods you wish to restore. However…” Beatrice lowered her gaze and paused for a moment as Emilia watched her imploringly. Then she blinked her distinctive eyes and continued. “The blood that was given to the kingdom is not Volcanica’s blood. The substance we refer to as ‘dragon’s blood’ comes from the final heartbeat of a dying dragon… It is, in essence, that dragon’s heart and soul.”

Emilia:  “The heart and soul of…a dying dragon…?” This new information made Emilia arch her eyebrows sharply.

Beatrice:  Beatrice simply nodded quietly.

Julius:  “May I?” Julius raised his hand. Having seemingly recovered from the shock of learning about Volcanica’s lack of a soul, Julius looked up at the Holy Dragon, whose countenance remained unchanged. “Lady Beatrice, if I might ask, where did you learn all this? I am a knight in the Kingdom of Lugunica’s royal guard. I have heard my share of secrets. However, what you speak of is…”

Beatrice:  “With the final pulse of the heart, the dragon’s blood is poured into a vessel. That blood—true dragon’s blood—was entrusted to the royal family and became proof of the covenant sworn between dragon and people.”

Beatrice:  “It is understandable you wouldn’t know. This comes from a record sealed away in the Archive of Forbidden Books…a record left by the Witch of Greed, Echidna, whose name has nearly been forgotten by this world.”

Julius:  Julius’s eyes shot open, and he stopped breathing. Despite being a knight who directly served the royal family, he had never heard this before, yet he couldn’t imagine Beatrice was lying.
