Everyone, including me, follows the king as he goes outside of the castle. The red dragon is standing in the yard. That dragon is none other than Emberion. The king kneels before her and says, "How can I be of service, my lady?" Everyone except me kneels immediately. "I heard my brother is here. I have come to see him." Emberion replies. "Pardon me, my lady. But there is no dragon here except you, my lady." The king says. "Are you implying that I can't detect which information is right or wrong?" Emberion asks with anger. I can feel everyone's fear. Emberion always has a short temper. And with the anger, destruction follows.I walk towards her. The king says, "No, no, my lady. I meant to say I haven't encountered any dragons other than you yet. And if..." The king notices me and says, "Hey, you! Kneel before My Lady." I look at the king with irritation and tell him, "I said, I don't kneel before anyone." "Brother!!" Emberion exclaimed with joy. "Hey, my most beautiful sister. How are you?" I ask. "If you say it like that, our sisters will be jealous, you know." Emberion smiles. "Even so, I should be honest, right?" I reply with a smile. I know how to calm our angry sister very well."Brother, can you take your actual form? I prefer that most. And you know, I can't take human form." Emberion says. I take my dragon form. "Much better." Emberion smiles. "So, how did you find me, sister?" I ask. "Vulthara told me about you. And he also mentioned something interesting." Emberion's voice suddenly changed. Emberion looks at Adriana and says with anger, "That someone was disrespecting my brother." "Please forgive me, my lady. I couldn't recognize the young lord's human form. I beg forgiveness for my unknowingly made mistake." Adriana says with fear. "I already forgave her, sister. So, you should too." I say with a smile. "If you say so, brother. Anyway, brother, I have to return home now. Come with me." Emberion says. "No, sister. I want to explore the world. I'll visit your home next time." I reply with a smile. "Okay, brother. I'll wait for you." Emberion says."Pardon me, my lady. May I make a request to you?" Adriana says. "You may." Emberion replies. "I want to serve Young Lord as long as he wants me to. I need your permission, my lady." Adriana says. "Sure. Brother, she is a very good girl. Talented one. If you want to explore the world, you should keep her in your service." Emberion says. "Okay, if you say so." I reply. Emberion smiles. "I'll take my leave now, brother. Take care." Emberion says. "You too, sister. Give my regards to Uncle and Aunt." I reply. Emberion starts flying and leaves.I take my human form again. Everyone, including the king, kneels down before me. I say, "Raise your heads, everyone." The king says, "Young lord, please accept my apology for my rude behavior earlier. And I have a question for you, young lord, if I may." "It's alright, you didn't know. Yes, you may ask." I say with a smile. "Do you perhaps belong to the Urthgard clan?" The king asks. Oh! He has understood my clan just by looking at my dragon form. Though it's not that hard. All fire dragons have reddish skin. And all earth dragons have greenish skin. "Yes, I am Ryu Urthgard." I reply.Everyone seems to be amazed. From King's long speech, I get to know that my mother is a goddess to them. Centuries ago, she saved this country from the attack of demons. The king offers me to stay in the castle. I refuse instantly. Then, he offers me a huge mansion in the capital city. I decline that also. I say, "I want to explore the world. So, I can't stay in one place." Then the king says, "Then at least have a dinner with us. It will be our honor." I accept his invitation.Ella and Adriana are also invited to join the dinner. The king takes me to the dressing room. And tells me to pick any dress from there. I pick a black royal dress. That perfectly matches my style. When I enter into the dining room. Ella and Adriana come to me. They are also wearing royal dresses. I shower them with compliments.Suddenly, the king introduces his 12 wives to me. After that, the king introduces his 18 sons and 5 daughters to me. Many ministers and nobles come to me and introduce themselves. The dinner party is filled with royal dishes. All of them are very tasty.After the dinner. The king escorts me to a bedroom. He tells me to call the maids and butlers if I need something. Then the king left. I lay down on the bed. The bed is huge for my human form. But soft and comfortable.I almost fell asleep. Suddenly, I hear knocking at the door. Ella says, "Forgive me, my lord, I just received some news. It's urgent." I open the door. Ella is standing at the door looking tense. There is an owl-type bird on her shoulder.
Ella says, "I am terribly sorry, my lord, for disturbing you." "It's alright, Ella. What happened?" I say to her. Ella breaks into tears and says, "The Sacred Forest is being destroyed, my lord. Please save my family, my lord."
