Then after that Matthias childishly continued to show hostility to Draco who kept asking Alexa, drawing Luna's attention away from him. Lucas looked at that with witty eyes, whereas general Akira couldn't help but sigh. Mikhail closed his eyes at the alpha's childish attitude, while Rudolf occasionally glanced at Alexa.
The dinner went well except for Matthias, all the delegates moved to the round table room to give gifts to the luna who was about to travel out of the pack. Lucas was the first to offer a gift, which Lucas liked very much.
"I'll give you a book about magic and also give you hands-on lessons on survival and restraining your powers while wandering, this is one way for you to wander around under a false identity," Lucas said with a tone full of respect for the luna.
"Thank you, I'll take it all well. Please cooperate in the future, wizard king."
Lucas looked down and smiled in response. "Okay Luna, and you can just call me by name. We're close because of yesterday's conversation, so I'm begging you."
"Okay, Lucas. Please support me."
After that Lucas smirked happily but not with Matthias who was itching to bring Luna back to the room, giving the most delicious punishment so that Alexa knew only he could make her lose her mind because of his satisfaction.
Then Draco stood up quickly, he proudly lowered his head and stared openly with great interest.
Grrrr!!
The growl made everyone turn to the alpha, Matthias was ready to attack Draco for daring to bring out the male wolf pheromone to attract his female wolf. This was the outward attitude of every wolf, but Alexa immediately grabbed the alpha's hand.
"Relax, you know after this I am yours." Those words were like a spell, all the tension disappeared in an instant.
Hearing Alexa Matthias's words become tame in an instant, Lucas held back a laugh seeing that Matthias was wagging his tail with joy. Meanwhile, General Akira there covered his face feeling embarrassed for some reason, while Rudolf didn't give a response on his face.
Only Draco was bothered by the romance of the two couples in front of him, he never got genuine love from his mate.
"Luna, allow me to introduce myself. I am Alpha Draco from the red pack, I will also give you the gifts you need during your wanderings."
"Thank you, sir, I am waiting for the gift you will give me," Alexa replied with a charming smile towards Draco.
But quickly, Alexa's gaze returned to the mate who was swinging his tail with such pleasure. Everyone, there was holding back laughter, while Akira patted his forehead with an indescribable feeling.
...
"As our beta already said, in the Holy Wood. We found the remains of the mermaids. This is far from the location where the mermaids rise to the surface like Queen Mariana said, we found the mermaid's body there. Surprisingly, the scales on their tails are missing and both their eyeballs are reddened dry as if they had been squeezed." Said Rudolf who had been silent for a long time now spoke.
"Then after we talked through the telegram sent through the mage king, if the mermaid corpse's dry red eyes occur, it is because they are forced to cry and release pearls that can give long life if consumed for a long period. All over the body, we found whip marks on the abdomen which almost made the body split in two as if the whip was being aimed at the same place over and over again." Rudolf's alpha at this meeting.
He just got this news after communicating with the help of the tower wizard through the magic ball, all telegrams can be easily and quickly if he gets help from the magician. Since the wolves still use trained heralds, possession of the magic communication ball belongs only to the tower mage.
If the other races wanted to have it, they had to bring the mage with Lucas' permission into their territory.
"And how will Mariana react?" Matthias asked.
"She was furious, you must have heard the news that this time the voyage was postponed due to unfriendly seas. Because Queen Mariana was raging and didn't allow anyone to pass through the sea in peace, if the Witch King, Lucas had not come by teleportation to meet Queen Mariana. Maybe our people who are near the ocean have been drowned by Mariana's rampage." Rudolf's words again made Lucas clear his throat at that.
He was forced to intervene after hearing this news, unable to refuse because this was their survival. Moreover, Mariana became more aggressive at that time, she was still raging until Lucas had to go into the water with her magic.
"Well… that's Mariana's true nature, she wants her sons and daughters alive, but we know that this is like the practice of black magic. That is, the enemy in the blanket just left a trail of being in a hurry." Draco was part of this conversation.
For Alexa, all this time she had only listened carefully without leaving another sentence.
"Hmm... Draco was right, he doesn't usually get left behind. Even after 100 years, we are all always a thousand steps behind them, just like last time. Where one race was almost annihilated." Matthias said reminded how the warriors of the red dragon king massacred the fairy race for no reason. "And now we know, that all of this happened because the real mastermind was the red dragon king, he was trying to be a good king and all the evidence we found was fake things the dragon king made to hide the truth he was hiding."
Everyone agrees, which is why they are so hard to see and search for. No wonder no one could find him, because the dragon king was always present at meetings discussing the past enemies of the entire inkarnate.
The red dragon king never misses a meeting so that he never gets left behind.
"Don't you guys realize, that the red dragon's magic power is the most powerful in the whole world even a high-ranking mage like me is no match for him? Dragons have a side of arrogance due to their high hierarchy as the strongest, but doesn't anyone realize that they have to be subservient to the king of this land kingdom?" Lucas asked suddenly everyone who was thinking about what had happened.
