Chapter 27 - 27: Lord Azure Dragon (2/2)

The beautiful Dragon's lips were slightly ajar in disbelief. What kind of terrifying child is he talking to?

There was a deafening silence between them. He started massaging his forehead as he can't honestly believe her words.

She actually threatened a huge, powerful dragon. What else does won't she do in the future?

”How did you manage to overpower an Ancient Dragon, little one? I could sense you are so young. Where do you find the audacity to challenge him?” he finally spoke.

”I administered a very potent poison on every attack. I concocted the medicine myself, and I guarantee it's effectiveness...” she straightforwardly discloses.

”That actually worked against him? He is careless… You must be really adorable.” he chuckles as he continues, ”How do you plan to convince me? I can simply reject your kind intentions. Are you going to beat me up too?”

Eu remained silent. She doesn't know what else she could do to convince him. She can't be irrational and beat up an injured Lord.

”I can't be impulsive and illogical...” she responded calmly as she inwardly sighs and continues, ”Can I ask you a question?”

”How I injured my eyes or why I don't want a new pair?” Lord Azure inquired.

”What exactly happened before you injured your eyes?” she asked.

”Why are you so interested in knowing a Dragon's sad tale. It's boring.” he sighs as wryly smiled at the girl.

”How could that be boring? It is educational. A Dragon's wise words…” the little girl chuckles as she continues, ”Why are you so pessimistic?”

The Holy Guardian Lord Azure Dragon is amazed by her positive attitude. Does she always have a positive outlook on everything?

She has once again flipped his pessimistic note to a positive tune. He doesn't have any more strength to refute as he sighs and cast a genuine smile.

Being with her genuinely feels really nice. He had an urge to indulge her more. He never enjoyed anybody's company in a long time, and this girl is giving him waves of contentment.

Meanwhile, Little Eu can't help investigating the events of two hundred years ago. What really occurred during that time? Who is behind those incidences?

The story has different sides and perspectives. Each one holds a piece of a bigger picture.

**********

They are proud, ancient creatures. They are powerful beings of old, and they are all unyielding.

Lord Azure is the leader among the four Holy Guardians. As their elder, the other three follow him.

Aside from a few childish squabbles, they never engaged in any disagreements.

The Divine Lord Foeni stands as their superior and elder. He mediates their fights or occasionally reprimands them.

Grand Elder Eiteilla's visit was unexpected. She has forewarned them of the tragedy that will soon occur, yet they paid no heed to her warnings.

Their governance is peaceful, and everyone lives in harmony. Nobody ever thought this solemn Realm would find themselves in the middle of a catastrophe.

Nobody knew what happened. The conflict has broken out of control and engaged them in this futile struggle.

When they manage to break free, they found themselves in the middle of chaos. They are slaughtering one another as their men fell before their eyes.

Remorse has overwhelmed them. If they only listened, this would never have happened. All they can do is drown in regret as they try to prevent further damage.

The Four Holy Guardians resemble as the shield that protects the Realm. Once it's broken, many misfortunes will follow.

The Divine Lord Foeni cannot do anything but try his best to protect what remains. With his guardians defeated, he needs to make drastic decisions to save everyone.

Grand Elder Eiteilla is witnessing the tragedy before her eyes. She wanted to delude herself that these mighty beings can handle it themselves without her intervention.

Celesean Realm benefit from their power and protection. As the Grand Elder of the Oracle Clan, she has the responsibility to protect everyone else out of her jurisdiction.

Despite their arrogance, this elderly decided to cast an otherworldly spell that caused her demise. She just saved them from annihilation.

The fallen Lords seek refuge on Themis. Without a Grand Elder, the once formidable city has also taken a toll.

Lord Azure lost his eyes due to the betrayal of his closest companion. He cannot comprehend why he betrayed him. All he could see is the antagonizing darkness filling his heart.

He can tell that someone has put him at such a state and poisoning his mentality. The involvement of a foreign drug is rumouredly suspected.

Lord Turtle has suffered grave physical injuries from the intense battle.

Lord Vermilion's tiny body managed to sustain fewer injuries thanks to Lord Tiger's protection.

Eu is listening intently. Why is the Oracle Clan Grand Elder tried to save a Lord from another Realm? Why did she sacrifice her life for them?

Celesea is a mysterious place. No known Divine is governing the Realm, yet magic is undeniably abundant.
