In the morning at the castle dedicated to the Fairy Race, a visitor was already sitting comfortably on the living room sofa. Drinking the teacup for the second time, the visitor acted as if he was the owner of the castle.
"So Hazel wanted to thank me."
"That's why you brought him here." Rose asked with interest to the teenager sitting in front of her.
"Yes. He wants to give Big Sister a present for making him reconcile with the other two cats." Johan said as if to say something to be grateful for.
"Then Hazel, would you like to come with me to the fairy castle." Rose leaned in to caress the head of the brown cat who was lying comfortably in the teenager's arms.
"Meow.." feeling a soft touch, the cat meowed softly.
"No!" the teenager shouted.
"That means Hazel doesn't want to come with sister." the boy explained hastily.
"Hm.. what a shame." Rose was amused by the young teenager's behavior. At least, not all vampires are bad.
"So what do you want Sister?" the teenager hastily distracted the fairy girl's attention from his cat.
"Then let me meet your three cats." Rose didn't want anything from the boy. But when faced with cute cats, she couldn't help but feel a tingling feeling in her heart.
"I won't take them." the girl added upon seeing the troubled expression appearing on the vampire teenager's handsome face.
After Johan left, Hana told another maid to clean up the cups and plates used for the light snacks.
"Just replace it with a new one." Rose ordered the maid.
"I feel that the young man is not our only visitor today." Rose explained while getting a confused look from the maid. Hearing this, the maid did not dare to delay her work any longer. Immediately rushed to prepare a new tea and light snacks.
As predicted by Rose. Not long after the maid left, a handsome young man who had pale skin appeared at the door of her castle. The young man had black eyes and hair. His gaze was firm and he gave off an aloof aura that made him seem untouchable. The young man bore a sixty percent resemblance to the teenage boy who had just recently left her castle.
"Greetings to Miss Rosalia. I'm Gerald Destray Lumie." the young man bowed to give a respectful greeting.
"No need to be so polite Mr. Gerald. Please have a seat." Rose greeted the youth she knew as the representative of the Vampire Race at the banquet last night.
"I came here to apologize for the rudeness committed by members of our race." Gerald expressed the purpose of his visit to meet the fairy princess.
"It's not Crown Prince Gerald's fault. Some people already have an innate trait that isn't easy to change. There has to be some kind of firm action to fix it." Rose was not humble in accepting Gerald's request.
"Princess need not worry. My little sister has received the punishment she deserves." Gerald explained.
The crown prince was not arrogant in conveying his apology. He also sincerely compensated the Fairy Race some military training in exchange for what happened to the girl.
The Vampire Race excelled in their keen senses. They can see and hear very well. Even their movements were very agile. Their troops could withstand the troops of the Werewolf Race which was famous for its muscular strength.
Gerald left after conveying his intent and purpose. Rose politely escorted Gerald to the door of the castle. Shows the etiquette she has learned.
"Hah.." the banquet turned out to be very tiring. She hadn't had time to relax yet but had to start preparing the banquet for tonight.
The second day's banquet was more personal because the issue to be discussed was the cooperation between races. They will offer each other cooperation with their respective advantages. As is the case today.
"We're offering magic tools in exchange for the red gems that only exist in the Fairy Race." said the representative of the magic race.
"We have the best grade weapons. What we want is black iron ore from the Fairy Race." the representatives of the Dwarven race didn't want to lose.
They all offered mutual cooperation in exchange for the natural wealth possessed by the Fairy Race. Rose knows all the benefits of cooperating with all of them. But she should not be too greedy. Greed is not a good thing. It can even get you into unnecessary trouble.
"Right now we wish to strengthen our troops after the shield that protected us for over 100 years was destroyed. Therefore, I as the representative of the Fairy Race accept the cooperation of the Dwarf Race for the exchange of weapons." Rose announced her decision.
The banquet ended peacefully. Maybe it was because the members were only representatives of their respective races so no riots occurred.
Rose lay comfortably on her bedroom bed. She felt that her arrival this time was not in vain. The Fairy Race obtained weapon support from the Dwarf Race. And the Vampire Race will help train the troops. Closing her eyes, she hoped that tomorrow's banquet would also go smoothly.
***
The ballroom used for the party this time was very large. With a magnificent central hall and around it there are small tables for guests who want to rest. A large crystal chandelier is located in the center of the room. Makes the room look amazing.
The melodious strains of violin music were heard from the musicians who were deliberately presented. Persuade people to dance to the music.
Rose was sitting with Captain Jerome at one of the tables. Watching the young people dance in the middle of the great hall.
"Can I have the honor of dancing with Miss?" a man's masculine voice rang out as the young man extended his hand.
"With pleasure Mr Gerald." Rose received a helping hand from the crown prince of the Vampire Race.
The two of them walked side by side through the party crowd. The man puts his hand on the girl's waist, and the woman puts her hand on the handsome man's neck. The two look harmonious when paired together.
Their position changed to the music. Now their footsteps became the main focus. Gerald followed Rose's small steps so as not to get the fairy girl into trouble. Their hands intertwined as their steps complemented each other.
Tap.. tap.. tap..
The sound of footsteps resounded as the music suddenly stopped. Silence. The atmosphere turned suffocating. Heavy pressure surrounded the entire room. The hall that was previously bustling and harmonious now seemed to be sinking into a tense atmosphere.
Some people who couldn't contain the terrifying aura even fainted, others fell down but didn't lose their consciousness. While those who felt better curled up protecting their trembling hearts in pain.
Tap.. tap..
The footsteps stopped in front of a woman wearing a blue dress. In line with her blue eyes and her glowing necklace gave off a blue light.
"My name is Stevan Devartania Silega. Let me dance with the lady." an indifferent voice was heard from the owner of the footsteps.
"I am Rosalia Devonia Razak. It was an honor to dance with His Majesty." Rose answered the young man politely. Trying to hide her sweaty palms from nervousness when she saw the black wings that had just disappeared from the young man's back.
The Dragon Race is known as monsters because of their ruthlessness. The strongest race among the other seven races. A race that claims that they don't need other races because they are too weak. And become the only race that can remove wings from their backs. The seventh race that has not been included in the race meeting agenda for more than 300 years because of their ruthlessness towards other races.
The leader of the Dragon Race was now extending his hand to the only girl who could stand up straight under the suppression of his aura.
The fairy protection crystal immediately gave off a protective function the first time it sensed the terrifying aura. Makes the fairy princess not be affected by the suppression of the aura like everyone else.
But it looks like it got the unexpected result. Because the shield protected her, Rose was now the only person who caught the red-eyed youth's attention.
