Advertisement
[ Ahem ... Hey guys @[email protected] here! Good to be back is what I want to say but ... Ahahaha sorry~ no H-scene for children ... ... like me ? ^_^V hehe~ ]
Dragonfang Kingdom, Within the Dragonfang Palace.
A serious atmosphere filled the meeting room. The Dragon King's complexion changed, as he sat on the seat of honor. At the same time, the Dragon Queen; Ileana, and a few higher-ups from the Kingdom were present at the scene.
“We received a letter …” The Dragon King’s eyes were sharp. He slowly lifted them up and said, “... no, it should be a threat ...”
Everybody at the scene was silent. When they heard this, the color of their faces suddenly changed.
"Threat ?" Ileana, also known as the Dragon Queen, asked. Her voice held some bewilderment but also sharpness. "What do you mean by threat ? Is it from the other kingdoms ?"
"I don't think so ... " Augustus shook his head. He then put a paper on the top of the table. "This is the letter ..."
Ileana hurriedly took the letter and read its contents. After a while, her beautiful face began to changed and distorted. Her eyes radiated a cold light.
"It said that, not so long from now, demon beasts will attack our kingdom. " Augustus clenched his fist and continued. "... If it's just several demon beasts then it won't become a problem but it was an enormous amount of demon beasts ... a hundred or so high class demon beasts ... If this goes on, although we can certainly kill all of them but there will be casualties."
"This ... "
"What should we do ? If they are planning to attack us, why send a warning ? What are they planning ?"
This news were too abrupt. Nobody could understand what the culprits were planning to do.
They could treat this as a nonsense and forget it but as leaders, as rulers ... as long as this things isn't proven as 100% prank and even if there's only a 0.01 % chance that this will come true, they would never be able to put this issue in the backs of their minds.

But still to lead a group of high class level Demon Beasts … How could they do it ?
Did they mean that they've tame an enormous amount of high class demon beasts ?
Who are this people ?
What are they planning to do ?
Many questions floated inside the minds of the people inside the meeting room.
The dragon king; Augustus Drake Dragonfang also frowned. His instincts told him that this letter was real.
But why are they doing this ? Why did they send this letter before the attack ? Are they warning us to prepare for this ? For what ?
They must have some sort of goal. Moreover, this goal would certainly be extremely unfavorable to the kingdom.
Thinking these things the Dragon King and his officials could only make a heavy sigh.
Then one official let out his suggestion;
“What should we do, you majesty ? Should we prepare our soldiers immediately ? We can also call those in the Academy. The more soldiers we had, the lesser the casualty will be as we can increase our strength!"
“Ah, right. That’s right! We can also call back his highness; Prince Lyle!”
“That's right! If I remember correctly, His Highness power isn't something to be trifled with! He would surely become our greatest fighting force!”
“Then quickly send a ―”
“It’s unnecessary.”
“ “ “Eh?” ” ”
Suddenly, a heavy cold voice remonstrated the people who were talking so vigorously that they might have bitten their own tongue.
It was the voice of the infamous Dragon Queen; Ileana which was looking at them as if they were idiots.
“Your majesty!?”
“Wh-Why ?”
"Me and my husband is here so no matter how many demonic beasts appear, I don't think something bad will happen. That's why there's no need to send my son to the battlefield and fight."
"However, your majesty ... Prince Lyle will su---"

"What I said is final ... " Ileana's eyes became sharp as knives causing the people around to immediately shut their mouths. " I will not let my son join any dangerous fights like this ... So never tell this to him no matter what. If you do, I will make sure that you will receive my wrath! Understand!?"
Directly receiving Ileana's death glare that seemed to freeze anything, the officials present could only obediently nod their heads.
Seeing them like this, Ileana's expression somewhat soften but her eyes still emit some kind of fierce determination.
Although I won't be able to protect him and prevent him from fighting. However, as long as I can prevent it, I will never let him fight anyone!
Ileana's determination seemed to pierce the people around as they let out a breath with complicated emotions. They didn't say anything any longer and just look at each other while wearing wry smiles.
...
Ileana stared at her husband; Augustus, who was currently wearing a tense expression. Her eyes also became serious. It seemed that Augustus could feel the danger from this situation as well. But no matter what, Ileana will do anything to prevent Lyle from fighting …
“I know” Noticing Ileana's expression and the determination exuding within her beautiful eyes, Augustus looked at her and smiled. He then asked in a deep voice." I understand what you feel, however don't you think it would give Lyle various benefits if he will also fought in this battle ?"
Hearing her husband's words, Ileana's face immediately turned into a scowl. "What do you mean by benefits ? It will just give him some painful memories and experiences!" Ileana's voice rose up. It seemed like she was really enraged by what he said.
Ileana's hands smashed onto the table as she said in a cold voice, "Do you want Lyle to suffer ?! And don't forget that you're the one who sent him to the Academy and caused him to suffer some injustice a few days ago!!"
In contrast to Ileana's furious expression, Augustus was calmly sipping the cold red tea in satisfaction, "You're still on about that ? Didn't I told you that something like this will help also him grow up. We just can't spoiled him forever, he needs to learn how to resolve issues like this by himself."
"Resolve!? " Ileana stood up. Her golden eyes emitted some killing intent. "Do you want Lyle to suffer ?! To be humiliated ?! Besides, he was still twelve years old! Twelve you hear me ?!"
Seeing the royal couple bickering like children, the officials present couldn't help but shook their heads while wearing wry smiles. They had already seen this scene a few times before.
Whenever it comes to her son, the infamous fierce dragon queen will immediately become a lion that was protecting its pup. She will become very emotional and the one who will become a victim of her outburst will always the king.
Wearing a defeated look, Augustus finally relented. "So as you heard, for now we must still be prepare for the worst. I will call a meeting with the other kingdoms to discuss this. However, try everything you can as to not leak this problem to the public yet."
"""Understood!"""
The officials immediately nodded however before they can stand up and leave, the dragon queen suddenly said. "... Especially my son! Understand!"
Glancing at each others, the officials faces leaked wry smiles and hurriedly bowed down. """We understand your royal majesty"""
