Valerian stood with his hands in the air. The soldiers surrounded him with spears. They were too shocked to see a dragon they did not recognize Valerian. At this moment, a calm voice sounded, "Oi, what are you all doing? Do you know that you are violating the majesty of a dragon? Have you lived enough to develop a death wish?"
Valerian recognized the voice and said, "Phew, Second Brother, thankfully, you know the drill."
The new arrival was Vertex Verus, the second prince of the Lumen Empire. He saw Valerian smiling at him and smiled back as he said, "Oh, to think you will be happy to see me."
Valerian scratched the back of his head, and Vertex said, "You all do not recognize him? This guy dealt with the Valkyrian god. Also, he is accompanied by the royalty of magical beings, and you dare to point your pricks at them?"
