For the past few days, the princess observed how Naga trained himself. There was a time wherein he summoned a magical book and talked to it, which was surprising to her. She thought how weird Naga"s physical training too because there were times wherein he was like dancing.However, today is different. It"s her first time seeing Naga used his Dragon Mana.
The maids setup a table near the martial field so the princess can enjoy her coffee while watching Naga. The princess was about to drink her coffee when suddenly Naga exuded his dragon aura.
"8th Rank Dragon Warrior!" The Princess was shocked. She stood up and approached Naga.
The guards of the princess were shocked too.
"This n.o.ble house is terrifying."
"Ancient Prime, Chaos, Dragon...."
"Yes, terrifying indeed."
Naga saw her approaching so he stopped and smiled at the princess.
"I didn"t expect it, young master. I know that your dragon mana is pure and powerful but I didn"t know that your expertise as well is quite high." The princess said and smiled.
"Thank you, princess." Naga responded.
He smiled and continued, "My Dragon Mana came from the Supreme Overlord so it is a huge advantage. Also, I used a pure Dragon Heart so it became more powerful."
"Dragon Heart... I see." The princess was surprised.
"He is truly the successor of the Overlord Mountain." The captain of the guards thought.
"You are now at the 8th rank power of dragon warrior. Do you know what"s next after the 9th rank?" The princess asked.
"I heard from Hextor that after reaching 9th rank, next would be the ranks for Supreme Dragon then the ranks for Dragon King." Naga answered.
"You are correct, young master. It means that with your age, reaching the rank of Dragon King is really possible in the future." The princess said with serious tone.
"A Dragon King from the human race?!" The guards exclaimed.
"Draxus told me that before too." Naga smiled and looked at the sky.
He looked at the pincess and asked, "Princess, I have questions about dragon mana. Can you help me?"
"Sure. What is it?" The princess smiled and agreed with him.
They went back to the table and talked about dragon arts. Naga used this opportunity to get new insights about dragons and being a chosen.
Even the captain of the guards joined the discussion too. They really wanted to see Naga"s future. They believe that he will be a legendary man, a super powrerful man.
It was almost sunset when the group finished the discussion. They were amazed since it was like they were talking to an old experienced master and not a kid.
"He is really a genius!" The princess thought to herself.
Naga asked a servant to inform Ian to prepare since he will leave tonight. The servants bowed and left immediately.
He went to his house and took a bath. He checked the clothes bought by Old Samuel and picked simple yet elegant pair of clothes to wear this time.
After his preparation, he went to the gate where Ian and Cris are waiting.
"Greetings, Boss." The two young men bowed down.
Ian immediately opened the door of the carriage and bowed down again.
The guards of the princess were shocked seeing Ian and Cris.
"That young man has two draconic items. His armor came from our island."
"You are right. Perhaps those were gifts from the young master."
"The man beside him is quite a good mage too."
Their captain and the princess didn"t speak and just observed the two young men.
"Thia is really a weird place." The captain thought and chuckled.
Naga and Cris entered the carriage while Ian and another guard went to the driver"s seats.
"Boss, is Lord Willard not going with us?" Cris asked.
"No. I asked him to do a certain task for me." Naga responded.
He continued, "This gathering will decide what we will do to the west district."
"Got it, Boss." Cris nodded and said.
"Are your men ready? People from the council will visit us." Naga asked.
"Yes. We are monitoring all the gates. We will get information for every visitors. This is a good time as well to know who are the people of the council in our city." Cris answered.
"Good to know. Be careful." Naga was truly satisfied with the information group.
They are talking about the improvement of the southern village as well when the carriage stopped. "Neigh."
"It seems that we are here already, Boss." Cris said. He looked at the window and checked the place.
"We are from the Silver Sparrow Family. We are here to visit the Crimson Earth Clan!" Ian said it with a firm and loud voice.
"Welcome!" The guards bowed down and said.
"What a carriage!" "This driver is a master!"
The guards were shocked. They opened the gate immediately.
Naga looked at the window and he was astonished. "This villa is great!"
The Crimson Earth Clan hosted a gathering and they invited not just the Silver Sparrow Family but also two influential families in the west.
An elderly robust man wearing black suit approached the carriage after it entered the gate of the villa. Two maids and three guards followed him.
Ian immediately opened the door of the carriage. He bowed down when Naga went out.
"Greetings, young master. I am the butler of this villa. My name is Kouta." The old man said.
Naga nodded and smiled. "This old man is powerful."
"Elder Chiyo is waiting inside. Please come in." The old man said smiling and gestured for Naga"s group to enter.
Cris followed Naga while Ian and the guard waited outside near the carriage.
They entered a huge room. It has a different feeling. It was a traditional and oriental room.
There are five people waiting inside. An old woman and four middle-aged men.
The elderly woman wearing a kimono stood up and said, "Welcome, young master. Thanks for answering this old woman"s invitation."
"This lad is really poweful." She thought.
Naga bowed down and said, "I am thankful to the elder."
The old woman smiled and said, "Come, join us with this tea ceremony."
Naga and Cris approached the table and sat down.
"I am Aldus, young master. I am from the Bozzart Family."
"I am Romulus. I am from the Argus Family, young master."
They are from big merchant families. Both men are not originally from the city but rather just managing their businesses here.
"Nice to meet you, I am Naga. This young man here is Cris."
"How"s Lord Willard?" Elder Chiyo asked.
"He"s doing good. He can"t go due to a certain task." Naga responded.
"The great House is really connected to the Silver Sparrow. Our decision is right." The two men were astonished.
"I see. That is fine." The old woman smiled and answered. She looked at the maids and lightly nodded.
The maids approached the table and served the tea.
"Young master, we are here to formally show our support to your family." Elder Chiyo said.
Both men bowed down and said, "Our families will support the Silver Sparrow too."
"I see. I appreciate it." Naga answered.
He continued, "Thanks for this wonderful tea by the way."
"I am glad you liked it, young master." Elder Chiyo said with a bright smile.
Naga smiled and said, "What you are thinking is correct. I will deal with the west. I will remove those with evil intentions.
He continued, "More importantly... the dukes" underlings, I don"t want them here."
The people inside the room were shocked. It was an honest and direct answer.
"This young master is really overbearing." Elder Chiyo thought.
"I understand. Our Crimson Earth Clan will not hinder your path. We want this city to prosper as well." She said.
"Thank you, elder." Naga nodded and smiled.
The group talked about Naga"s plan and how they can help. The two merchants promised to provide financial support too. Cris talked about potential business partnership as well and the two men became excited.
It was a fruitful gathering. Naga and Cris learned a lot of information about the western district. Elder Chiyo told them as well that the Duke of Profound Sky has treasures that being eyed by many groups which is one of the biggest reasons why there are a lot of enemies here.
Elder Chiyo and the group of men escorted Naga to his carriage.
Naga bowed down and said before he entered his carriage, "Thank you. It was a great gathering. I enjoyed the tea."
Elder Chiyo and her group watched the leaving carriage.
"Elder, even his driver is dangerous." The old man, Kouta, said.
"It seems that the young master is the true lord of the House." Elder Chiyo commented.
"What?!" The two merchants were shocked.
Elder Chiyo is well known for her wisdom and leadership. Both of them have complete trust to her.
"Go now, report this to your patriarchs. You made the right decision, rascals." Elder Chiyo said and smiled at them.
