JAY CADMIUM'S POV:
I watched as Amelia explained our situation to the guards in her joyous voice, granting me access to the royal castle with ease. I sighed, extremely glad that the girl was accompanying me.
"Thank you for doing this," I whispered as we passed through the entrance. Amelia smiled, clearly satisfied with her performance.
"You're very welcome, young Dragon!"
I chuckled at the sarcastic naming.
"I'm still half-human, you know?"
"I know. But still, a half-breed, huh? That's pretty cool," said Amelia, her voice sincere. I felt at ease knowing the woman beside me didn't mind my race, even if I was still part-human. The fear of rejection from my past friends was something I was always afraid of, and the thought of confronting my family was just depressing.
What would they say? Would I still be welcome?
