ROYAL DRAGON PALACE.
The Palace was heavily crowded. Today was a special occasion for dragons. Their Empress and Princess were making public appearance.
Their hearts beat in anticipation. They couldn't wait to see their respective leaders show up.
The Crown Prince of the Vampire Empire, Dralot Sel Er, was the first to arrive. He was a very handsome man with black hair and red eyes.
Next was the Elven Prince, Eliot Zel Nie'r, he was a green haired handsome man.
The Wolf Crown Prince, Reila Sav Feril. He had black hair and a muscular build.
Lastly, The Angel Princess, Niphilia Livarose. She had long white hair, bright silver eyes, very beautiful face.
A voluptuous body tightly held in a white dress which accelerated her curves gracefully.
Eyes looked at her but with reverence. Niphilia was a beautiful and mature woman who gave off high level of purity.
Her small gestures captured everyone's heart until she disappeared.
As soon as, she left. A black car appeared. It was an embodiment of high status. They couldn't help but become curious.
A devilishly handsome silver haired man dressed in royal purple outfit stepped out.
He flashed a smile. His looks instantly captivated many maidens.
"Who is he?"
"Which noble house does he belong to?"
"He is so damn hot~. Oh my~."
He disappeared from site.
Various guests appeared afterwards. The number of people outside was too overwhelming to the point that movement became a problem.
☆☆☆
Anorax made his way towards his seat. The card number had special uses.
He looked around where he sat. A white haired woman looked at him curiosity burning in her silver eyes.
"Am Anorax, next to meet you." He greeted in a friendly tone.
"Am Niphilia Livarose, nice to meet you." She replied calmly.
He simply nodded and made himself comfortable.
The Dragon Empress and Princess made appearance.Their presence was regal and commanding. Dressed in golden robes which had dark highlights.
They were very beautiful women, the Empress appeared to be in her 30's and Hilosura was a young version of her.
The Dragons felt a strong suppression on their bloodlines.
The banquet officially began at the Empress's order. Nobles walked around forming connections and reconciliation.
The atmosphere was very lively.
Tiamat was pleased. The hall was filled to brim that some old noble dragon families had requested to attend.
Nothing made her more happier than seeing her daughter's beautiful smile now. Her efforts had paid off.
She glanced at the happy black haired woman who had a hard time concealing her smile.
Maids received 'gifts' from the guests. They were anything but normal. Some were sealed, they had a powerful presence.
There sizes varied. There were rare treasures, artifacts, ancient scrolls...
The numbers were too overwhelming that the maids paced around.
Hilosura's eyes roamed around the vast hall looking for someone but she didn't see him. She could only do so without being noticed.
'Sigh, maybe he didn't come.'
The maids halted. They had prepared to depart. But there was still one more.
A very handsome silver haired man walked towards them. He didn't appear to carry a 'gift' which puzzled them.
The Empress, Tiamat raised an eyebrow. Her lips curled into thin smile.
"You are dismissed."
Hilosura stood up. Walking to meet him, several curious eyes looked at them.
"Look who is here, after ignoring my texts and disappearing for day." She muttered making those who heard confused.
Anorax smiled bitterly. He was busy you know. He had been running for his life.
"That's my bad. Thankfully I made it here on time. You don't know what I passed through to get this." He said as he approached her.
'He seems to be playing with fire. The Empress will kill him if he gets any closer to the Princess.' They thought.
Everyone held their breathe.
But...
He walked upto her and held her hand up lightly. He put in a small box and turned around.
"Make better use of it or else I will be disappointed." He said walking away.
Silence.
Shocked. Everything stopped. Like robots, their heads turned towards the Empress. There she was, a small smile tugged on her face. She looked to be enjoying herself.
And sure she was, everyone would act cowardly in her presence due to fear. But...
"He sure is a bold one, right, my daughter." She chuckled lightly.
The Princess opened the small box. A golden pearl laid there. She instantly recognised it.
'Dragon God blood, this one is more pure than last time.'
Her hands trembled slightly. This didn't go unnoticed. They wonder what was inside that made even the Princess tremble.
She hid the box away faster than they could probe with their senses.
'I can't wait to see what my daughter has got for her birthday.'
The meals were served. Several connections were made and groups formed around the table. Everything was top notch from food to wine.
The Empress and Princess were engaged in heated discussions with various figures at the side.
Anorax walked away with a full bottle of wine. He appeared at the balcony and made himself comfortable.
He drank half a bottle straight. The taste was intoxicating.
The Dragon God was an extremely wealthy being.
Medusa had given him the Dragon's spatial ring. There were mountains and mountains of various treasures some he didn't know.
He refused. It was hers. She was the one who killed the damn lizard, it was rightfully hers.
But, she had no use for them. Her current realm of existence needed treasures far more powerful that what she was giving him was insignificant for her cultivation.
He took it. She had offered it guininely.
"It's good to be alive..." He chuckled slightly.
"Yeah~."
He turned around. A white haired woman walked gracefully towards the balcony. She stood there observing the scenary.
He didn't have time to look at her clearly but now as he did, he had to say he had great luck in crossing paths with very beautiful women.
The white haired woman, Princess of the Angels, stood before him.
"It's beautiful."
"I wonder how good the environment Angels live in really is. Certainly have seen very few and on top of that, now there is a Princess." He said leaning back in his chair.
"You won't cross paths with 'many'. Angels are certainly holy beings, the only place with the purest holy elements is our Empire." Her soothing voice reached his ears.
He pulled out his phone as checked his forum. There were many texts but he couldn't meet some directly.
Niphilia glanced at the Silver haired man silently. He was so carefree that she couldn't believe he had just did the 'impossible'.
Those who knew the Dragon Empress' nature were morethan shocked. The woman would ruthlessly torture or kill any man who tried to approach her daughter. Worse touch her. But...
'He did it so naturally. Its clear they know each other but the Empress' silence baffles. And he is not a dragon noble nor a dragon.'
Anorax texted Hilosura. He wasn't going to get involved in some political issues. He wanted to leave now that his business here was done.
He would meet the Empress after the party in a few days. The political 'schemes' were sickening for his 'poor' soul.
A black haired woman appeared. She had excused herself from her mother and slipped away.
"Oh~ What do we have here!" She exclaimed softly walking towards the duo at the balcony.
She was surprised by Niphilia's presence here. She looked at him suspiciously.
"Don't look at me like that. It's a surprise that we crossed paths here." He said shaking his head.
"Seems you guys have a 'special' relationship. I never thought my dear friend would have an opposite gender as a friend." Niphilia said with a chuckle.
The time they had spent together made her wonder if her friend would ever associate with men but now seems different.
"Well it's complicated, Niphilia. Things came up and here we are. Though it's business nothing more nothing less."
The Angel Princess just nodded. As if she could believe it. Hilosura would have sent maids to meet him but the fact that she didn't said something different.
"How was the 'gift'?" He asked with a smirk.
Hilosura, closed the distance and stood before him. She couldn't believe he had given out something so priceless to every dragon to her as if nothing.
He looked at the woman standing before him in wonder.
'What's wrong with her now?'
Niphilia ever watching, stood with an amusing smile on her beautiful face. Her silver eyes gleamed in amusement.
"You know what will happen once those greedy 'foxes' discover what is in the box, right." She asked in a whisper.
"Now just make sure they don't, as simple as that." He said unfazed. It won't be his problem right. He did his part, it was upto her to do as she saw fit.
"You will have to remain, you will meet her after the banquet." She said. She released a sigh. She didn't know why he gave it to her but she knew her cultivation would soar highly. The Dragon God's blood would throw the Empire into pure chaos.
'He is abnormal and given that we know little about him, he is not from the Empire.'
He needed powerful allies and friends. He had a good impression of her so he decided to help her in what he could.
