"Amazing. So, how many circles does Grandpa have from Grandma?"
Belinda confidently replied, "Nine. Your Grandpa has formed nine circles around his heart."
Renan, contemplating the significance of this, thought to himself, 'So he has reached the peak and is not far from becoming an Elder dragon...' He didn't notice that Belinda's gaze had shifted to the door.
"Grandma, how many have....," before Renan could complete his sentence, Belinda put a finger on his lips and said, "Now, now, it's already quite late and starting another conversation. We will be here all night, so why don't you go to sleep? Did you forget what your grandma said before this, right?"
"What," asked Renan.
Belinda, who heard Renan asking 'What,' just shook her head and asked, "Did you already forge?"
'What did she say before all this explanation,' Renan started to focus intently on what Belinda said that made her want him to sleep early.
"Oh, right, you said that I'm going to awaken my elements tomorrow," Renan looks at Belinda's face and asks.
"That's right. Now, you should go to sleep," Belinda said softly. She gently lifted Renan from her lap and laid him down on the bed. Rising to her feet, she stepped away, tucking the covers around him with care.
"Good night," Belinda whispered softly, pressing a gentle kiss to Renan's forehead. She turned toward the door, her steps light and deliberate. Slowly, she opened it, casting one last glance back before slipping out of the room. The door closed behind her with a quiet click.
Renan just went with the flow and didn't say anything, 'It seems like she's in a hurry, whatever. I'm also feeling sleepy,' Renan thought inwardly before falling asleep.
As Belinda closed the door, she turned around and looked at Ruston, who was waiting for her in front of the door.
"Is he sleeping," asked Ruston.
"Yes," replied Belinda.
"It seems like I can't meet him now since he's sleeping,"
"Well, unfortunately, you can't, but don't worry, since he's going to awaken his element tomorrow, you can meet him then and spend some quality time with him," Belinda reassured.
Ruston nodded his head and stayed silent like that for a while before Belinda broke the silence bringing him out of his daze.
"So what happened,"
"Hmm," Ruston looked at Belinda's face for a while and said, "They are getting restless,"
"How much time do we have," Belinda asked with a serious face.
"From what the spies have found, it seems like they are waiting for the last batch of their students from Warrior and Magic Academy to graduate before they start the third war," replied Ruston with a serious face.
"How long does it usually take them to graduate," Belinda inquired.
"Between twenty to thirty years,"
