Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 609

Chapter 609: Chapter 609 - Taming the Letter

Luna had left the room.

Now Ren looked at the wrinkled letter he held in his own hand, the one he had been keeping since Sirius had given it to him. With Luna’s permission, technically he could read it.

But something about doing so felt profoundly private, as if he were about to invade a space that didn’t belong to him.

He swallowed hard, his fingers brushing the paper damaged by recent events. The texture was rough where energy had singed the edges, and the creases were deep from being folded and unfolded countless times.

Liora leaned forward, her curiosity obvious. "Are you going to open it?"

Larissa also moved closer, though she tried to disguise her interest. "For a long time now, I’ve always wondered..."

Even the guards seemed to be paying more attention than usual, their rigid postures betrayed by the way their eyes subtly shifted toward the envelope.

It was then that Mayo began to laugh.

The sound was soft at first, a contained laugh she tried to suppress by covering her mouth with her hand. But the laughter intensified, becoming something she clearly couldn’t control.

Matilda looked at her with an exasperated expression and pushed her gently, trying to silence her. "Mayo, stop."

María observed her two companions with evident confusion. She was the only one of the maids who clearly didn’t understand what was so funny.

But Mayo’s laughter didn’t stop in time.

Now everyone was staring at her, and when she saw their expectant faces, she laughed even harder. Matilda grabbed her head in a gesture of total surrender.

"What’s so funny?" Ren asked, disconcerted.

Mayo straightened up, composing her expression into something more theatrical. There was a gleam in her eyes that suggested she was about to enjoy this immensely.

"So, do you want to know what the cursed words are?" she asked in a conspiratorial tone.

Larissa sighed deeply. "That lie is old, Mayo. We already knew from that time that there are no cursed words."

"Ah!" Mayo raised a finger, smiling broadly. "But that’s where you’re wrong. What was a lie was that the words would make you physically vomit. However," her smile became more genuine, softer, "I definitely think that in one way or another those words are cursed. Although Luna doesn’t like me calling them that..."

Mayo’s mana pattern was completely honest. She wasn’t lying this time like she had years ago.

Those present were visibly surprised. Liora sat up straighter, while Larissa frowned now interested.

Ren looked at the torn and burned letter in his hand, but Mayo shook her head.

"That one is so damaged that maybe it’s not clear," she said while rummaging in her own bag. She extracted three more envelopes, all equally wrinkled but not burned and in better condition than Ren’s.

The confusion in the room was visible in everyone’s faces.

"The letter is always the same," Mayo explained, her tone now more serious. "Sirius would give our Luna a new one every so often because she always squeezes and manipulates it a lot when she’s stressed. It’s like a tradition they had." She paused, some sadness crossing her expression. "Although since Luna got angry with him, they didn’t exchange another the last promised day."

"Why would Sirius have to give her the same letter over and over?" Liora asked.

Mayo smiled again, but this time there was understanding in her expression. "I don’t know... It’s cryptic. Luna knows nobody will really understand it, maybe that’s why she doesn’t mind if people read it."

With deliberate movements, Mayo opened one of the wrinkled letters.

Everyone swallowed hard...

And she began to read.

"I love you, my bright star. I love you, light of my nights. I love you more than the stars. I love you with every breath. I love you, my little constellation. I love you beyond measure. I love you infinitely. I love you boundlessly. I love you without end. I love you eternally..."

The repetitions went on, each variation slightly different but carrying the same obsessive weight. Mayo’s voice took on an almost hypnotic quality as the declarations continued.

Ren felt his cheeks heating up. The others exchanged uncomfortable glances as Mayo continued without pause.

But when Ren opened the one he had, he realized that indeed they were the same.

"Hello my sweet light, hello my precious one, hello my invaluable treasure, hello my reason for existing, hello my little drop of honey, hello my everything, hello my universe, hello my dawn, hello my dusk, hello my eternal flame..."

"Please stop," Larissa murmured, her own face flushing.
