After father was done with congratulating me, he went off to announce it to the whole kingdom. The people were shocked of the news but soon happiness overcame.
While this all was happening I was in front of a mirror, checking out my new body.
I stood at a solid 2 metres. White eyes, with gold pupils, and also traces of blue. My face was as if it was chiseled by God himself. For a moment, even I fell in a stance. Quickly recovering, I looked at the rest. Short Blue hair, naturally dyed golden ends. it looked fantastic with my god-like face. Muscles strong enough to break boulders. I looked like a very handsome 17 Year old. Everything was just perfect. *Looks like I'll be getting a few girls hahah. I laughed to myself.
Now was time to look at the palace, I remembered that this kingdom was called Drafilli. Together there were 5 Kingdoms. Ours stood at the 2nd position. Dragons, humans and other smaller species lived in peace. The dragons were announced to be the superior race, and was ruling 3 kingdoms, 1 was ruled by humans and the other was ruled together by all the rest of the species. As the crown prince of such a great kingdom, my authority was very high, but I pledged to never use it for wrong.
I called for a servant to get me a Coach. The coach was Made of Ivory and Gold. "What luxury" I said to myself. "Take me to the Celestial Garden" I said to the coachman.
Soon we reached there, I was mesmerized. On earth there was no such place, because magic never existed on earth. Just as it's name, it really was 'celestial'. There were floating Islands, and at the top was the largest one, from which water flowed down.
I turned into my semi-dragon form. Red and Black color wings came out from my shoulder blades. It was a weird feeling, but I quite liked it. I knew how to fly from this guy's memories.
I took of the next second. *Whoosh
All the people looked at me, because the amount of force I used was extraordinary, but for me it was nothing more than a drop in the ocean of my strength. I shot up towards the highest Island. After a minute or two I finally adjusted myself to the change and safely landed. There were flowers I had never saw before and insects I never thought would be possible to exist. I ceased my thoughts for a minute and looked at the scenery. it made my mind tranquil.
I took a flower and brought it close to my face. Gentle enough to not pluck it. I took a smell in.. The scent was much better than that of French perfumes. I felt myself getting closer to nature.
I continued walking through the garden and to my surprise. There was a group of girls walking towards me, unknown of my presence. They looked 15-16 years old. Almost same as me. There was something different about them, they looked beautiful like a flower, as if they were fragile, they would break if not taken care of properly. They looked weak, They were Humans. Although love between dragons and humans was not forbidden, it was not common. A dragon could live 7000 years while a normal human could barely cross 200 years (Humans have twice the lifespan here because of magic).
Only the humans that could rival dragons could live upto 10000 years. It was sad, but it was the reality. Soon one of the girls looked at me, her mouth agape. Continuing to look at me in a trance. I gently smiled at her. But who would have thought what was going to happen next. She fell down. Yes, she fainted. Maybe it was due to me being too handsome.
*If I'm handsome to the point where they faint if they see me, then how can I include them in my harem. I thought to myself
Hey friends saw her faint and helped her, then they looked at the Direction where I was standing. And they too had the same reaction, I Smiled at them too, and the same thing happened. They fainted, I was not even surprised anymore. But there was one girl who did not fall. Her cheeks were rosy due to blushing. I walked to her "Hello there beautiful miss, may I inquire what brings you here." I asked her.
Hearing the word "Beautiful" she too fainted.
"huh, Looks like I'm too handsome for this universe" I murmured. Seeing 7 girls unconscious in front of me, somebody would think that I was doing some indecent activities. So, I quickly used some magic to lift them up and flew away to a house at the edge of the island.
I flew down and knocked on it a few time.
A few knocks later, a small girl came running to open the door. And I was shocked. "Isn't that an elf" I said to myself. She heard me talking so she replied "Yes I am an elf, even though I look small but I am 140 years old. But you look like a dragon, you're older than me and also handsome enough to marry all the female elves in my tribe." she said while blushing.
I wondered how this girl did not faint, so I walked up to her and patted on her head while saying "Can I come inside? I'm in a bit of a pinch."
She stood there, not moving at all. So I looked at her carefully only to find that she was unconscious. Yes, Looks like my handsomeness is becoming a curse, k can't even pick girls up. I knew that there was nothing I could do, So I went inside.
The house was a bit small, but it was neat, meaning that whoever maintained the house, did a pretty good job at it. I walked into a room and put the girls with the elf on the mattress. While, they were sleeping soundly, I was thinking how to explain them when they woke up. Should I tell them that I kidnapped them, or should I say they were sleeping on the street so I picked them up? No, that won't work, after all women are strange creatures.
While I was waiting for them, suddenly a girl woke up. It was the same one that did not faint till I called her 'beautiful'. She woke up and when she saw my face she had a small blush, I quickly explained what happened and she calmed down. To my astonishment, she was not that surprised when she found out that I am a dragon. Well, I did not tell her that I am also the crown Prince. But that was a matter for another date.
"I am called Aaron, what's your name?" I asked her.
"Selene, I am called Selene. N-Nice to meet y-you A-Aaron" She stuttered a bit.
"Please be calm, Miss Selene it's not like I'll eat you." I joked to ease her.
"It's not that I'm afraid of you, but you are too handsome that I can't look up at you" She replied
"I get that a lot, Thanks for telling me. So what do we do now?"
"Let's talk about how we got here, I was on a field trip arranged by our academy, we group of girls got a bit too curious and lost our way" She seemed embarrassed about this.
"You look cute miss Selene, when you are like that" I tried getting her attention elsewhere
"W-What? M-Me? c-cute?" She couldn't even talk properly and her blushing intensified. "Mister Aaron, please stop teasing me" He retorted.
"Please call me Aaron only, and I was not teasing you when I said that you were cute." I showed off my charm.
"Okay then, call me Selene, Aaron. Nice to meet you once again" She was a bit happy and was smiling.
"Same for me, Selene it's nice meeting you" I smiled at her to make her feel comfortable.
Now that I looked at her, she looked quite cute. 1.5m tall so she was looked like a dwarf to me. I just wanted to go up to her and kiss her forehead, but I knew that currently It was not possible, first I needed her to trust me so that we can move ahead.
"well then, let's wake your friends up" I said as I clapped my hands, she was looking at me as if I was fool. But when she saw her friends getting up, she was surprised yet again. "This is nothing" I said as I used magic to make her fly.
Now she started to believe as if I was a really strong mage. When her friends saw Selene floating, they were scared and surprised, but they were surprised more than scared. Then Selene explained everything to them, while the little elf woke up. Seeing so many uninvited guests in her house, she was furious but soon calmed down when she saw my face.
"Little elf, I am called Aaron, A True-blooded Dragon. What Is your name?" I Asked with a smile as bright as the sun.
She seemed to be mesmerized but when she heard 'True-blooded' She was scared out of her wits. Realising that the one standing in front of her was a noble of high ranking in the dragon Kingdom she soon bowed.
"This one is called Amalia, I am truly foolish to not recognise your majesty." she said with a scared face.
I walked up to her and try putting my hand on her head to pat her, but she thought that I was punishing her. It was not her fault. Most nobles were like that, Prideful and never put those normal people in their eyes. She almost cried.
I quickly held her small body while crouching. She was short, 1.34m to be precise. Maybe it was because she seemed vulnerable, I had the desire to protect her from any harm. "Calm down Amalia, I won't do anything to you, I will never punish those who don't do wrong. Instead I should be thankful to you for lending me your house"
She was dumbfounded at first but soon felt an indescribable security in my arms, as if nothing could harm her. We were in that position for a long time till Selene reminded us with a cough. Rest of the girls were blushing at that scene. "Ahem, sorry for picking you up with your permission but I couldn't just let you stay unconscious on the road, so I brought you all here"
"No problem, a-actually it was our fault that we got unconscious, You are too handsome for us" One of the girls said while blushing intensely.
"Okay then, Selene must have said you about what happened, so I will help you guys find your teachers." I said. Then I looked towards Amalia and said "Don't worry I'll be back soon after helping them"
"mhhmm" She nodded her head while looking a bit sad.
Then I looked at the girls and said "Let's get going then" as I used magic to make them float while I used my dragon wings in my semi-dragon form and flew towards the more tourist intended site. Soon after flying for a minute, I found their teachers. I landed with them. Most of the girls were astonished and scared. but Selene was smiling normally as if saying "This is not my first time you know"
The teachers were looking around for Selene and the others with the other students. I walked up to them and told them that I met Selene and the others while I was taking a stroll. I excluded the part about the fainting and all.
The teachers were surprised when they saw us fly, but were more surprised by my looks. The only female teacher seemed to be blushing and trying to avoid eye contact at all costs. I knew this would happen so I ignored that. But the reaction of the students was explosive. The girls all fainted and the boys seemed to become quite for some reason. Soon one of the boys Couldn't endure it and passed out, followed by others. Soon all the students fainted. I then used magic to wake them up. The teachers were astonished to the point where their eyeballs were bulging out.
The female teacher finally opened up as she said in a shocked tone "Isn't that 4th step magic? I heard it takes around 3-4 hours of preparation and chanting to use that, and the mage is exhausted by the usage of it, but you seem completely fine. And it did not even take a second to cast it. how?"
"4th step magic? what's that?" I asked
"W-What? You don't know what 4th step magic is and you can cast it so easily?" They seemed to be terrified of me.
"You see" I said while turning myself into a Quasi-dragon "I am a True-blooded dragon, and I haven't been to the academy yet"
"True-blooded Dragon?" They cried in unison and knelt before me "We were foolish of not knowing your majesty, please forgive us"
"No need to bow, I just want knowledge about this 4th step magic or whatever" I said while shaking my hands.
"Then please excuse me" The female teacher stood up and continued "Magic is used by chanting spells, it consumes mana to use them. Human mages are able to use upto 3rd step magic. And that too takes a lot out of them. 4th step magic requires 15 top-notch mages to chant for 3-4 hours to use it. Most 4th step magic are used in wars and desperate times, but you used it without a thought."
"What's above 4th step?" I inquired
"Magic is castable upto 15th step. after that comes forbidden spells. Which can destroy kingdoms. And we know of divine spells that can create or destroy a planet"
*So the divine skills are so powerful...
"Then what step is this" I said while I used water pulse but a weakened version casually.
"Oh my God!" The teachers shouted and fell down weakly. "Isn't t-that 13th step magic water beam?" they said
*My water pulse was weakened so they thought it was water beam, then it means that my water pulse is atleast 14th class magic. I'm way too OP
"let me ask you something, you said earlier that humans are able to use upto 3rd step magic, but how do you know about the 15th step magic and above?" I was curious about this the whole time
"We humans mages may be able to use upto 3rd step magic but when one crosses that border, they are not human anymore. In total casting 9th step and above magic is Illegal."
she said
"So that's it, thank you for the knowledge" I was about to turn to leave when the teacher stopped me and asked " That 13th step magic, even if you are a dragon it should not be possible to cast 11th step magic and above."
I turned back into my human form and retracted my wings, then looked at her and whispered "I am the Crown Prince of Drafilli."
Hearing my words she weakly fell down. All the students still not able to process anything and the teachers dumbfounded.
I then silently used teleportation to appear before Amalia's house.
