Chapter 14- Mother

Hearing that her son is missing. The Crimson Witch crumpled down on the floor but before she hit the ground, her husband was there to support her.

“Do you know where he went?” ask Ryouma.

Astrea nodded and that brought the light that was fading on Cher’s eyes to come back.

“Where did he go?” she asked in a clear voice.

“According to Sir Dean, Vectre planned to go see if the existence of the Goblin King was real. So my guess is that he went to the Great Mountain where they are gathering.”

“Why didn’t Drean stop him?” asked Cher coldly.

Drake Dragon wisely said nothing to his son’s defence. Seeing the Crimson Witch current state, he knew she wasn’t on her right mind. Even the rest of the Generals and the King with them were alert and were ready to stop the Crimson Witch if she snapped.

An out of control Cher would be more terrifying than the current threat. In fact, it would make the Goblin King’s catastrophic potential laughable compared to what the Crimson Witch could do.

Cher Azure, wife of Ryouma Azure was the only S rank mage in the whole kingdom and her powers were nothing to scoff at. A single outburst from her could destroy the whole Cloud Kingdom.

The reason that all of them were on alert at the moment except for Ryouma is because Cher always had a bad temper and a habit of acting on her emotion. This makes her very dangerous and a liability.

“I believe that he tried to convince him but that prove to be no use as the young master simply made an excuse to get something to get away from Sir Dean. He must have used he’s newly awakened abilities to slip past the guards.” Replied Astrea slowly and carefully. Fear was evident in her voice.

After hearing the reply from Astrea, her eyes darkened.

“USELESS!!! ALL OF YOU USELESS!!!!” she screeched. A burst of blue fire instantly engulfed her. Luckily Ryouma teleported in time to get away from his wife, or else he would have suffered grievous injuries.

Having been with her for the longest time, Ryouma has developed a danger sense concerning his wife.

“HAVE THE GUARDS PUNISHED, TORTURED AND THEIR FAMILY EXECUTED. THIS MISTAKE IS UNFORGIVABLE. IF MY SON WAS HARMED IN ANY WAY. THEY BETTER PRAY THAT THEY ARE DEAD BECAUSE IF I GET MY HANDS ON THEM THEY WILL BE WISHING FOR A QUICK DEATH.” Shrieked the out of control Cher.

“Dear calm down. It’s not their fault. They could have never expected Vectre to run away.” Ryouma soothed, while taking a step forward to soothe his fiery wife.

Cher hearing her husband’s voice, instantly calmed and the fire engulfing her disappeared. She ran to her husbands and hugged him hard.

“Vectre our son.” She sobbed a little.

“He’ll be fine. He’s our son after all.” Soothed Ryouma. Rubbing his wife’s back while secretly sighing in relief that the situation didn’t get progressively worse.

Everyone else also took a sigh of relief that they didn’t have to fight and subdued an enrage Crimson Witch. That prospect was way too scary for them to handle that they’d rather face the Goblin King’s army alone for they will have a higher chance of getting out alive.

King Julius seeing the situation and it was going to be dangerous if the child is not found.

“Please you have to be safe child. Or Cloud Kingdom might go out in smoke.” Prayed King Julius in his heart.

“Everyone. Mobilise all the soldiers. We are heading to the east.” Bellowed the King as he ordered.

“There will be no need Julius.” Said Ryouma.

“My wife, Drake and I will be enough to ensure my son’s safety. Mobilising the Kingdom’s soldiers would take too long.” After declaring his intent, he hugged his wife and beckoned for Drake to come to him. Drake immediately complied and went grabbed the hand of Ryouma.

“Teleport.” Ryouma whispered and activated his ability, Wind Teleportation. Causing him and the others to ride the wind heading to the East.

Arriving at the foot of the mountain. They didn’t take time to inspect their surroundings. Instead they rushed inside the forest while calling out Vectre’s name.

Deeper in the forest, they saw a shredded body of monster. It’s blood running freely on the earthy floor and dozens of shredded flesh littered the surrounding area.

“A battle happened here recently.” Observed Drake.

Using the racial ability of the Dragon Clan; Draconic Transformation.

He grew wings out of his back and flew up. Up a head he could see some sort of encampment.

“There’s an encampment up ahead. Vectre might be there.” Said Drake.

Hearing her son’s name. Cher rushed to where Drake said the direction of the encampment was.

Setting the surrounding ablaze. Using fire to boost her movements speed. The Crimson Witch, arrived at the encampment in less than a minute.

There she sighed in relief. For covered in blood and surrounded by shredded dead bodies was her son.

“VECTRE!!” she cried out. Her voice full of motherly love.

She ran towards him, ignoring the current state her son was in and held her tightly against her bosom, while tears free fall on her silky white face.
