Morning the next day
*knock* *knock*
*knock* *knock*
Lawrence stood up from the chair he was sitting on, he was still holding a fruit he was eating like the other 3 elves with him. He opened the door and saw Zera smiling at him
"Good morning my friends, I came here to pick you up," Zera said
"Let's go to see Her Majesty then" Lawrence said then looked at the elves, they nodded
"Thank you for guarding us while we were sleeping," Lawrence said to the 7 female soldiers standing outside, they all smiled and saluted at him by putting their right hand on their chest
Lawrence and the elves rode a white carriage made of wood that could fit 6 people inside. The carriage is being pulled by two brown horses.
They arrive at the palace not long after
The palace is decorated with marble stones and intricate carvings with tens of soldiers wearing full-plated metal armour
"wow it's so big" Victoria said with a shocked face
"let's build a house like this Lawrence" Karthala said with wide eyes
These little sh*ts are embarrassing me
"y-yeah we will build a house like this one someday" Lawrence said with a stiff smile
Lawrence then saw the queen sitting on a golden throne wearing a crown with priceless jewels
Damn she looks like someone I need to add to my harem, I mean she seems nice
"Welcome my elven friends" the queen stood up and said with a smile
Zara and the surrounding soldiers kneel on one knee while Lawrence slightly bows, Aisha, Victoria and Karthala also slightly bowed
"It's a please to meet you, Your Majesty," Lawrence said while slightly bowing
"Don't act so formal, you saved thousands of my soldiers I am deeply indebted to you" The queen said
"speak my elven friend, why did you ask Zera to have an audience with me" the queen asked
"On behalf of our goddess, Goddess Esmeralda, the creator of us elves, I Lawrence would like to request an alliance between the elves and the dragon kingdom and the dragons," Lawrence said with a smile
All the humans looked at Lawrence with shock on their faces, even the queen stiffened
"wh-what do you mean, did you speak with your creator?" the queen asked
"Yes Your Majesty, goddess Esmeralda told me to come here and bring you some herbs that can help you in this war" Lawrence said with a straight face
"th-then what did you bring?" the queen asked
Lawrence then looked at Aisha who was carrying the ball made of leaves that had the powdered red echina and other flowers mixed inside it
Aisha then gave it to Zera, she then approached the queen and gave it to her
"Your Majesty, inside it are the flowers given to me by the dryads guarding the world tree in our village. If you mix it with water, it can help your soldiers increase their strength and stamina permanently" Lawrence said with a smile
"R-really? Does it have negative side effects? And can you give us more of it?" The queen asked in a surprised tone
"No your majesty, we elves have also drank it. As for getting it again, I'm afraid we need gold or jewels, the dryads seemed to like it and will only give us the powders if we gave them some gold or jewels" Lawrence said with a serious face
"then we shall provide you with gold, bring us some more of it," The queen said with a smile
"as you wish Your Majesty" Lawrence said with a slight bow
"As for the dragons, I shall tell them everything that you told..." before the queen finished her sentence
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Is what the humans without dragon blood heard
"We are here"
"come out"
Is what the dragon said
The queen, Zera, the guards, Lawrence and the three elves then came out of the palace
"It's you again elf" the small red dragon said
Damn the little red dragon I met back then with the red 100 feet dragon
"I did tell you we would meet again," Lawrence said with a smile
"my elven friend, you know the princess?" the queen asked
"she's a princess? Yes, I know her, we met back in the forest. Right little red dragon?" Lawrence asked with a teasing smile
The red dragon fell silent
"hahaha yes he knows my daughter, he saved him before the humans severely hurt her," the 100 feet female dragon said
Before she's severely hurt? If I hadn't healed her she would have died and been eaten by ants and will be nothing but bones by now
Lawrence then looked at the little red dragon. She looked away
Damn looks like she didn't tell her everything huh. No wonder these dragons seem too relaxed. Time to put oil to the fire I guess. Killing an ordinary dragon can't be compared to royalty after all
"yes, you are right, but also wrong. When I arrived the humans had already surrounded and severely wounded her."
"With metal nets holding her down, some of the elves including me who saw her state cried. So I immediately charge forward to save her" Lawrence continued while wiping off a fake tear.
"W-what did you say!" the 100-foot red dragon shouted her voice echoing in their surrounding
The surrounding humans and Lawrence, Aisha, Victoria, and Karthala covered their eyes
The 100-foot red dragon then looked at the little red dragon that kept her eyes away from her mother.
"you almost died and you didn't tell me that? We dragons have been passive for too long and only have been protecting our territory!" the 100 feet red dragon said
The 100 feet red dragon then looked at Lawrence and the Queen
"Forgive me for that outburst, elf please tell me more of what happened that day. Looks like my daughter have hidden some things from me" The 100 feet dragon said
