The sky looking like an inverted sea. Something is coming out. is that? Is that really what i am seeing? A red dragon engulfed with flames roaring outside the clouds.
It landed right before us. Its elemental energy is strong that some of the guards couldn't handle the heat. Everyone kneeled to the ground except the emperor.
"Adleida, You....You have returned. What a surprise. I couldn't be happier" (Austine)
Adleida steps down from the dragon. A tall figure with golden hair with emerald eyes. You can say that she looks more like a warrior than a ruler.
"Isagi enigma. The last time when we met, you were a little kid. How you are doing." (Adleida)
Did she just ignore the emperor? Just how many years she went? "Um, my name is Isagi Phrova" Does she also hate Phrova clan?
Adleida went silent. "So, you are married now uh." Adleida smiled warmly
"Forget about her, what's reason for you to come back? I mean the last time you said you will try to enter demon's continent"(Austine)
"Are you worried that I came back alive" Adleida glares at him.
"What? Of course not. I am your husband, and I was worried about you every day"(Austine)
"I never knew you had a side of greed. I was pathetic to fall in love with you and married into enigma clan. Were you always doing this when I am not in the kingdom and finally you are doing things openly thinking that I would be dead in demon's continent" (Adleida)
"What are you saying. I was ruling this nation and looking after people when you were enjoying your adventures with elves and dragons. You have no right to speak about ruling the people" (Austine)
"My 20 years of travel. None of them were for my enjoyment. None of them were meaningless. I returned because I have my reason and it's not something I should tell you and do you know what was the first thing I heard from people when I visited them? Please save this nation from our emperor. The dukes who stayed neutral and the dukes who refused to support eldest prince got prohibited from getting any funds from emperor and even worse, you increased taxes of other clan territories and took all wealth under you and your eldest son. I had to rush here because I felt a spell which could potentially kill a higher rank elemental user" (Adleida)
"Mom, you have to listen to me. None of this was my doing. It was all done by father (Casillas)
Does he have no shame to lie.
"True, it was reported that your father did everything for you and there is nothing reported about what you did in these 8 years. It's too suspicions that there is literally nothing reported. But fine, I will overlook that for now. As for your father, He will be stripped of his title and be sentenced in prison for his rest of life. Be glad that I didn't give him death sentence" (Adleida)
"You can't do that to me. This kingdom and everything belong to me. You are just a filthy woman from Cressa clan and have no rights to rule this. This position belongs to us, the enigma users. (Austine panicking)
"Is that why you don't like other two sons and asked them to move out from palace? because they didn't inherit your element? You do know that Elements are not limited to clans, and everyone has a chance of awakening any element right. The Clans are divided because majority of that element comes from there. There is no definite rule that only the duke and duchess should be strong. Why are you obsessed with your position sighs Just put the dark element chains on him and put him in cell. Don't bother resisting and lose your life"(Adleida)
Unable to do anything, he was dragged away by the guards.
dark element chains: chains that are engraved with dark elements which makes the elemental users unable to use their element. A higher amount can potentially kill them.
After that, Casillas just quietly went away. So much for a mother son reunion. I and Emiko are the only people who were left now. Emiko didn't speak anything till now. Just observing everything.
"Care to explain what had happened here before I arrived" (Adleida)
Finally, Emiko opened her mouth and explained the story.
"Hmm, So Casillas did Involve"(Adleida)
You would be even more shocked if you heard it from my point of view. Although I like to keep everything to myself for now.
"Just how long are you going to keep sleeping behind the dragon's back"(Adleida)
"She is tired from travelling allday" (Rhaemut the red dragon)
"The dragon can talk in Telepathy!!!!!!!!" (Isagi and Emiko) Adleida laughs
"Quit yelling already. My sleep is long gone when you guys caused commotion" A middle aged looking elf jumped down from the dragon
"I know what you two thinking, but I am not young. I am already 200 years old, and this dragon is 500 years old."
"Let me introduce them. She is Elf princess Aaradhya, and the red dragon is my companion Rhaemut. I brought her to be the new headmaster of the academy."(Adleida)
"And I need you to be my assistant" (Aaradhya)
Is she pointing the finger on me. "Pardon, why are you excluding Emiko from this"
"Who?" (Aaradhya)
"Emiko...." looking at my side. "where the hell is she..." Don't use your elemental advantage at a situation like this and don't leave the person you are supposed to save. Oh My god. Why do I keep tangled with crazy peoples.
