“Hm? Now that I think about it, what type of beastman does the princess and the royal family were, I wonder?”

As Lyle was thinking about, Sasha went to his closet and started getting clothes to help him change.

Meanwhile Lyle was starting to strip when she answered,

“From what I heard, the current royal family seems like they came from the Fox beastman Clan”

“Wow, really.............................................

---By the way why are you here, Sasha? And how did you get in?”

“Of course, to help you change Prince Lyle!” She said with a grin. “I just followed you! You’re quite in hurry so maybe you didn’t notice me and here *blush* get dressed quickly!”

She gave Lyle the black suit she took in his closet while blushing after seeing his top naked body. Although Lyle’s body is just a five year old boy, you can see that his body is perfectly fit and that’s because of his secret training these past few years.

“Huh? I don’t need help! I can finish it myself, just wait for me outside!”

He took the clothes and pushed Sasha out of the room. After wearing the dress Sasha gave him he looked at the mirror beside the window to fix his black wavy hair.

What reflected in the mirror was a small boy with a natural wavy and black hair. He has a girly face that might be mistaken as a girl and had deep beautiful black eyes.

He was wearing a black shirt and pants coupled with a black and red cloak. The cloak has a red dragon with a serpent-like body wrapping around engrave in it. Inside, the shirt was also drawing of a dragon's face.

Right now, because of the clothes, he was emitting a majestic presence.

But he was dissatisfied. No matter where he looked, he looks like a human. Not even a single part of him was a dragon. He’s father comes from the race of the almighty red dragon, and his mother comes from the clan of

intelligent and beautiful gold dragons.

‘Then why? Why does he look like a human? And especially why does the color of his hair and eyes all pitch black?’

These are all the questions playing in his mind ever since he first saw his appearance.

After he finished fixing his hair, he got out of the room and saw Sasha waiting for him.

They started walking towards the throne room where they will greet the King and the princess of the Rulic Kingdom.

They were quietly walking when Lyle noticed that Sasha was looking at him with worried and concerned eyes

“Hm? What is it Sasha? Is there something on my face?”

“No, uhm, forgive me Prince Lyle, but do you have something on your mind?”

“Ah?... Hahaha as expected of you Sasha. Anyway, it’s nothing. It’s just that I am concerned with my appearance”

“What? Prince Lyle, you are very handsome! I don’t think there exist someone as handsome and as beautiful as you, have some confidence! If that princess says you’re ugly, I will butcher her and feed her to the ants”

“Hahaha well thank you, but not that. You see, we came from the dragon clan, right? Yet why am I looking like a human? And especially unlike father and mother my hair and eyes were black! From what I know, aside from the black wyverns and wyrms, there are no black dragons in this world!”

“I see! But you don’t have to worry about that you know, Prince Lyle!”

“What do you mean by that?”

“In the past, I was also curious about that and ask her majesty. And this is what she told me that there really exist a black dragon. And this dragon is the only one of its kind. A unique existence. Her majesty told me a story that a long, long, time ago, there was a big tree and the leaves of this tree are worlds. Countless worlds sprung around the tree, but one day a gigantism and monstrous black dragon suddenly emerge from nowhere. This black dragon ate the leaves of this tree or in other words this black dragon ate countless worlds until only a little had left.

Afraid that this black dragon will finish the rest, the gods punished this black dragon. Though no one knows what happened to the black dragon afterwards. Up until now, this black dragon was known as . So you don’t have to worry about your black hair and black eyes. It just mean that your special and unique just like the infamous , Prince Lyle”

“Really?” Hearing this he was absolutely delighted.

He felt as if a heavy burden in his heart was lifted a little. They continued to walk towards the throne room, while anticipating his meeting towards the princess of Rulic kingdom.

**********

Chatting idly when they were about to meet the king and the princess of the Rulic Kingdom; the two of them were rather audacious.

Shortly after, the guards appeared again and announced their arrival.

“The Prince of the Dragonfang Kingdom, Prince Lyle Drake Dragonfang has arrived!”

They stop and quietly wait for the door to open. When the door opened several people walked in and greeted him.

The Beast King together with his daughter; the princess were among them. Naturally, Dragon king Augustus and Dragon Queen Ileana went as well.

When Lyle entered the room and met the Princess eyes, his mouth turned into a smile in an instant, resulting for the princess to blush furiously and immediately hide in her father’s back.

“I’m very sorry for my tardiness, as I have been doing something quite important which I have just finished a while ago! I hope you’ll forgive me” Lyle said before bowing down in respect for the people in front of him.

“No, we are the one who need to apologize. We came here without warning so I’m pretty sure that you have something that needs your complete attention yet despite that you are here to meet us, thank you!”

With a respectful and polite attitude, the beast king answered.

Lyle looked at the beast king.

A middle-age man with a white-hair.

On top of his head were a pair of fox ears and he had a coarse tail. He was wearing a golden crown and a tunic with gold and silver embroiled within it—He was without a doubt a Therianthrope.

“Your majesty, no need for pleasantries! Given the difference between our current status, I’m just nothing but a mere prince, while you are a majestic king! Your wish is always my command!”

"Oh, I heard you are still a 5 year old boy, but aren’t you quite outspoken? It’s hard to converse if you are too formal, so please relax.”

“As you wish your Majesty!”

Seeing Lyle’s polite demeanor, the king and the princess changed their expression from shock to dumbfounded while

King Augustus and Queen Ileana was just smiling wryly.

Seeing their son so polite is a news for them too and even them couldn’t believe he’s just five year old when they looked at how he talk and carried himself.

Naturally that is the case, for this is the first time a king and princess from another kingdom visited them.

The beast king smiled while watching Lyle and then turned around to face King Augustus,

“Your son is very polite. I hardly believe he’s just a five year old boy and I heard that he looked like a girl but this...this was beyond my expectations!” The beast king said with a grin.

Augustus doesn’t know whether he wanted to laugh or cry. Obviously he was very proud of his son. This son of his that always surprised him. Who wouldn’t?

“Hahaha so much for this. Lyle, this is the King of the Rulic Kingdom, King Al Foxtail”

King Augustus gestured to the man beside him.

“A pleasure to meet you, your majesty! My name is Lyle Drake Dragonfang.”

“A pleasure to meet you too, Prince Lyle”

“And this is princess Feme Foxtail, your fiancée! Treat her well okay!”

The princess picks up the hem of her skirt and bows elegantly with her face dying red.

She has the appearance of around a 10-12 years old girl. However, her eyes exudes an intelligent light as if she was more mature compared to the children of her age.

It seems like princesses really mature faster compared to a common children. =.=

She has long, wavy hair of blond and she has glittery green eyes with a feline-like iris. She has long, large fox ears and a tail.

But I must admit she is really beautiful just like what mom said. Lyle thought.

“A pleasure to meet you Princess Feme!”

“Y-yes, A pleasure to meet you too, Prince Lyle!”

Shortly after the introduction ended in the throne room, they went to the dining room to eat.

There, the two kings together with Ileana was sharing stories and laughing together. It was a merry night if not for the awkward atmosphere lingering around the two individual.

These two individual were of course; Prince Lyle and Princess Feme.

They just quietly eat and glance at each other, especially princess Feme who keeps stealing glances at him every now and then.

Seeing this, the three adults couldn't help but sigh dejectedly.

King Al knows that Lyle doesn’t want to talk about marriage and such and wanted to cancel the agreement; this was what queen Ileana told him and although he was quite surprised that a five year old boy said that, he accepted it,

because they were still kids anyway.

But he was unwilling to do so, especially after hearing Lyle’s deeds and seeing him with his own eyes, he was beginning to like him more and more.

He tried to come up with a plan for them to be alone. He shared it to King Augustus and Queen Ileana.

Thus,

The two end up in the balcony alone.
