It was almost an hour before King Jaren and Queen Dora (and the two little dragons, of course) were able to break away from the whole bunch of imperial guards, imperial chefs, imperial servants and other members of the imperial staff in the imperial palace of the Emerald Kingdom.
King Jaren's brow twitched when he found Jules, Mana, Bella, Raven, General Aquila, Queen Carolina and Rook sitting in the side room sipping tea and eating snacks in a leisurely manner.
He walked into the room, dragging Queen Dora with him, and the two little dragons naturally took up their favourite spots on each of King Jaren's shoulders.
Azar's eyes widened in delight as soon as he spotted the potato wafers in Mana's hands.
"Mommy! Azar wants potato wafers!" the little black dragon cried excitedly and flew off to her in a rush.
Mana chuckled and rubbed the baby dragon's small head affectionately. "All right," she said.
