"commander shiva! what will happen now?" albert asked. only the two of them were currently in the study room preparing to report the attack to his majesty king augustus.
after the boy handed an unconscious faes to shiva he vanished. faes and sky were treated and were currently resting in the infirmary. sky actually had her mana sucked dry and blood essence depleted slightly while faes was poisoned and the worrisome point was that they had no way to treat the unknown poison.
shiva had sent the baron away before discussing the situation with albert who was one of his friends and trying to find what to do.
faes and sky were actually princesses of reptiliance kingdom. they were dragons and not humans! currently everyone only thought that they were humans; even sky! the soldiers thought that it was a spell to bring a dragon phantom.
but the two of them knew that they were dragons! royals to put it lightly! and now both of them were lying unconscious. it was because they were unable to keep them safe. shiva had told them to stay inside but both had not listened to him and now-
shiva sighed. he didn't know what to do anymore himself! but he have to report this to his majesty anyway because this concerns the kingdom.
just as they were preparing to contact his majesty's assistant to report there was a knock on the door
"come in!" albert called as the soldier came in.
"sir! miss faes is awake" the soldier reported saluting. shiva and albert exchanged a glance before hurriedly going to meet faes. only she can help them now.
....
when faes got up she felt nauseous and weak her whole body aching. the doctor that came to check her gave her a potion which made her feel better, enough for her to sit.
after checking up the doctor left leaving her and sky alone. faes instantly scanned both her and sky before calling gray and everyone else out of mystic fog castle after contacting kai.
they had been unconscious for a whole day and her companions were already worried enough along with being angry that they didn't call them out before.
after they calmed down they gave sky a mana recovery potion and blood essence recovery pill. faes only took a healing pill and didn't drink the poison resistant potion that robin gave her. faes knew that asuna had done it deliberately to help her body develop resistance to the poison and hence she let it wear off on its own as she was already feeling better.
gray and ethan stood near the door and window each while eli, sarah emma and robin took care of faes and sky. soon faes asked eli for the files to sign while being bored.
as she and eli were discussing the reports the door opened. everyone other than faes went alert as they glared at the two people on the door.
shiva and albert were also shocked to find six young and high cultivation dragons in the room. the glare and their aura were enough to instantly have both shiva and albert freeze in fear and shock.
the six were strong although shiva had higher cultivation than them he was outnumbered and they were too young! he didn't even sense them before this or even got a report regarding their presence.
"to think the great commander of kingdom altai would fear a bunch of kids" faes grinned as she motioned her companions to relax.
"this isn't the time to joke!" shiva couldn't understand how faes can still tease him in her current condition. as shiva and albert walked in the room two of the six followed their every move while faes handed the papers and files in her hands to another boy.
"its alright i wont tell anyone!" faes continued to grin at shiva. she was already bored hence this was a good chance of entertaining herself,
"your royal highness your milkshake" robin came near her with a glass of milkshake.
"thanks!" faes took the glass taking a sip sighing at the taste; 'kai clearly made this!'
"this- your highness uh?" shiva and albert exchanged glanced frowning. they didn't know how to address or treat faes anymore.
faes understood their problem already. although everyone had taken them to be humans albert and shiva knew they were royal princess of reptiliance now. with their current condition and all the events kindgom altai will be in trouble if anything happened to either of them. even then they had gone from little prodigies to becoming royals which made them unable to continue their current plans importantly becoming shiva's heir!
also the sudden appearance of her companions have made it hard for them to ask their questions.
"just call us as you usually do" faes smiled taking a sip of her drink before continuing
"they are my and sky's companions, they have been here with us the whole time"
shiva and albert felt a shiver crawl in their backs. 'here the whole time! no one knew about their existence!' this only made them more worried. it would have been fine if one or even two were missed but there were six people that they missed! to top it all they were high cultivation dragons~
"this- what will happen now?" shiva asked uncertain himself of what will happen.
"sir albert will you leave us for a while?" faes asked. albert nodded already eager to leave the room. he was too weak compared to the people in the group and with continuously being monitored he was not even able to speak!
after gray closed the door behind albert faes turned to sky's sleeping figure;
"sky and i arent sisters by blood; she is his majesty late king aiden shadowdragon de reptiliance blood daughter while i am a human" faes smiled wryly as she turned to shiva who was silently listening to her
"i am the second princess of altai faes monesterio von altai~" "not many know this but i ran away from the royal palace in vietra around three years ago. before that i was just a normal girl who couldn't even cultivate. after some events i accidentally stumbled upon king aiden fighting with the cult and saved sky's egg awakening my powers."
"after that king aiden took me in as his elder daughter and disciple making me the first princess of kingdom reptiliance."
"as for the cult- we have exchanged blows quite a few times by now and are kind of used to it; anyways they wont bother us anymore for the time being" faes finished her milkshake giving the empty glass to emma.
"oh also don't worry about both of my families! neither of them will blame you" faes added seeing the confused and pale, frowning face of shiva
"this is her royal highness secret that have to stay as a secret! if anyone got to know it then-~" eli grinned as he exchanged glances with others who nodded releasing their bloodlust.
shiva was thoroughly convinced to keep his mouth shut not even thinking about this anymore. but his gaze while watching faes changed, respect awe and pride filled his gaze along with fear
a twelve year old girl; human; who couldn't even cultivate three years ago managed to become a dragon princess while being a human princess too. not only that she had affinity with extraordinary elements and have managed to cultivate till vitals refining stage! one have to know that there were barely any known cultivators in the world who were at that stage currently!
her skills in fighting were extraordinary, not to mention alchemy and other occupations.
they can easily say that she was a omnipotent freak! along with the tiny little girl with her who wasn't any way inferior to her
