"What did you say, brat?"
Out of no where, or perhaps it was because he was getting infuriated with everything, Ordeus was going to throw a powerful fist towards Edle's face.
At that same moment, despite being pressured by the King's palpable presence, Edle takes a stand as he clenched his fist to counter Ordeus'
Some of the crowd covered their eyes as they scream in fear, others lowered their heads on the floor. While everyone around two were trying to attempt to grab them both away from each other.
"Ordeus...!"
"Edle...!"
Until...
*Boom!* *Roar!!* *Scream!*
A sudden blast of sound as something crashed onto the surface, and a beastly roar, and the scream of terror from the people outside the castle stopped everyone from moving an inch inside banquet hall. Then, the door opened.
"Queen Elena, Prince Edle, a dragon appeared and landed right outside the Castle...! Ah..."
The Reilaean Knight were left without words as he saw Edle and the King of Cartha that paused in a position that is about to exchange punches.
The two realized that the Reilaean Knight was looking at them, resulting the two to look at each other.
"Hmph!"
The King retracted his hand as he released his fist.
"I'm going to look."
Ordeus spoke as he began to move forward to where the Reilaean Knight was standing.
"Y-yes!"
The Reilaean Knight lowers his head on to the king who went passed him, leaving the banquet hall as if nothing happened.
"..."
Edle did the same by running towards the door of the banquet hall, following the same path Ordeus took to see the commotion outside.
"Let's go!"
"Y-yes!"
Belfionne suggests to follow Edle, which the four Princesses agreed with.
Belfionne, Belfiore, as well as Atalante, Pina and Aura sprinted towards door.
"Belfiore! Belfionne!"
"There goes the kids... Guess we should follow them too."
Without hesitation, the King and Queen of Loisiln and the Queen of Meleia followed suit towards the opened door to follow their children.
"We'll be right back, Queen Elena."
King Athlante did not stayed long as he immediately went ahead after speaking briefly to Queen Elena.

Outside the Castle.
"What's a dragon doing here?!"
"Run!!"
The people who saw the dragon close-up screamed on top of their lungs in complete terror as the dragon continues to let out it's terrifying roar.
"Wait! There's a person on top of that dragon!"
But one of them stopped as he noticed a figure of a person standing on the back of the dragon. Resulting the others to pause from running away.
"Calm down. We're not in our country right now, you know~."
A voice of a young woman spoke in a sultry tone as she speaks to the dragon she's riding. The dragon immediately calmed down from its continuous roar as if it was being controlled or hypnotized by the woman.
That same young woman descends on the ground as elegant and graceful as her glamorous red night gown and her decorated silky-smooth black hair tied in a stick bun.
The dragon's head approaches her as though it wants her to pet its head, which then the woman did.
"There, there. Just keep quiet just for a while and conserve your energy. I will let you go on a rampage later."
The girl showed a sadistic smile right after she spoke.

*Panting*
Finally, after running out of the banquet hall, Edle reached the outside to where the castle ground is. To where they heard the beastly roar from inside is.
"That's..."
Atalante, Belfionne and the others who went on the run to follow Edle have finally caught up to her outside to see the thing Edle is seeing. Belfionne followed Edle's word.
"...A dragon."
"..."
King Ordeus stands behind them, looking rather calm as he gaze upon the giant dragon. From its black scaled wings resting between each side of its middle part of its body, to its head. Until his eyes meets the face of a young woman in red gown caressing the giant beast's head.
King Francis Leon, Queen Athilia, and Queen Dina as well as King Athlante arrived last at the scene to see the same sight in front of everyone.
"Oh my... I didn't expect that there are people who would be waiting for my arrival."
The young woman spoke as she noticed Edle and the others looking rather serious to her and the dragon.
Meanwhile, Belfionne...
"What a beauty!"
Belfionne wrapped his whole arm around Edle's nape, onto his neck with excitement.
"Look at that amazing big racket she carries with her! Look at that perfectly slender body of her! Look at that cute smile that shows her pure, lovely and innocent youth! She's beyond perfect!"
The girl proceeded to smile directly at Belfionne.
"She smiled at me! She's beyond perfect really! All right, I've decided! That woman will be my bride!"
"Ow ow ow!! Calm down, Belfionne!"
Belfionne's excitement is overflowing, and Edle is the one who's getting the worst side of it.
"My, you sure are energetic."
But surprisingly, the woman doesn't appear to be bothered by Belfionne's behavior.
"Hey, where are you from? What's your naegmh!?"
"Shut up for a minute, Big brother. You're being a pervert like Father again!"
"Hey, you shouldn't say something like that about me out loud, fiore. It's embarrassing!"
Belfionne began to move by asking the woman, which his Little sister interrupted her for not being modest and showing his perverted side. It even get fired back to his Father who Belfiore pointed out to be the person who Belfionne takes his inappropriate behavior from.
"Belfiore, was it? You shouldn't have resorted to violence, your Big Brother is simply asking where I came from and who I am."
"Eh... You sure are pretty calm about it."
"Indeed. I like people who are full of energy. Especially when we play together~."
The woman let out a cute little chuckle as she gave a reply to Belfiore. Still, she hasn't answered Belfionne's questions. Having said that, Edle steps in to ask her one more time.
"Well, who are you? Where did you come from?"
The woman looked at her, as though she's observing him. Before long, she gives Edle a reply.
"You must be Edle, right? The Prince of Reilaea and the son of Queen Elena Reilaea. Silly me, I should call her Mother by now."
As the words escaped her lips, the woman takes a step forward, heading directly to Edle.
The same words she let out also confuses the others.
"Mother...?"
"She called Edle's Mother her Mother..."
"Does that mean...?"
The young woman walks up and draws herself really close to Edle's face.
"It's a pleasure to see you for the first time, Big brother."
