Chapter 397 - Side Story (Dimitri)(3)(unedited) (2/2)
From out of nowhere, fire flickered and hovered around the thugs.
”W-What is this?” The boss said with a frightened expression.
The little fire lights became bigger and changed its shape into birds. The fire birds then attacked the thugs, having them caught on fire.
”Wahhh!!!”
”S-Save me!!!”
”HELP!”
The thugs were scrambling around to put the fire on their bodies out.
”You f*cking Atlantian b*tch!” The boss took his knife out and ran towards Regaleon's mother. ”Ahhh!”
But the boss was not able to get near the mother and son. His body caught on fire and burned fiercely.
”Ahhh… h-help me!!” The boss screamed in agony.
As the boss was burning, Regaleon's eyes were glowing a bright blue. He was looking at the burning boss intensely.
”Did you save mommy?” Regaleon's mother asked.
”Him bad…”The little Regaleon replied.
”Thank you my sweet boy, but let mommy handle this. Okay?” Regaleon's mother said.
”Hmm…” Regaleon nodded his little head and the boss body stopped burning, but he was burned beyond recognition.
”M-My lady!” The coach man came with some guards following him. ”I was afraid of what happened to you and the little prince, so I came searching for you with the guards.”
”Thank you for finding us.” Regaleon's mother replied. ”Please take this thugs into custody.”
”Yes your highness.” The captain of the guards bowed and took the thugs in custody.
The other thugs had minor burns, while the most injured was the boss who was burned beyond recognition but still breathing.
Regaleon's mother walked towards the little Dimitri. He huddled himself on a wall, still on his guard.
”Hello. May I know what is your name little one?” Regaleon's mother asked but Dimitri stayed silent.
”Do not worry, I will not hurt you. As you can see, we are both Atlantians.” Regaleon's mother said but Dimitri stayed curled up on the wall.
The little Regaleon got down from his mother and walked slowly to Dimitri with his little feet. Dimitri flinched when he got close to him but he let the little Regaleon touch his face.
”Ouchy?” Regaleon said while holding the swollen cheeks of Dimitri. White light started to glow from Regaleon's little hands and Dimitri's wounds started to heal until they were gone.
Dimitri felt a warm heat from Regaleon's hands and felt safe. He looked at the little Regaleon smiling at him.
”Ouchy gone.” Regaleon smiled brightly. ”Be friends with Leon.” He said with a cute accent.
”My son still cannot use his white magic consistently, but he wanted to heal you. Thank goodness he was able to.” Regaleon's mother said. ”He wants to be friends with you. He never had any friends. Would you please accept his request? I promise that I will keep you safe. Come with us.”
Dimitri looked at the two hands that are outstretched in front of him. One is a little hand from Regaleon and the other was from his mother. He contemplated at first but in the end he took the two hands. He felt the warmth and safety in an instant.
”Dimitri.” Dimitri whispered. ”My name is Dimitri.”
”Dimitri. I promise you Dimitri, I will take care of you.” Regaleon's mother said with a smile. ”I just ask you in turn to be a good companion to my son.”

”Since then, I have sworn that I will be by your side, your majesty.” Dimitri said. ”It was a promise I gave to her highness your mother.”
”And I have always been thankful for that.” Regaleon got up and patted Dimitri's shoulder. ”I am now at the position that no one can look down on and I am at a good standing. I believe it is time you look after your own now. Find a woman that you will fall in love with and make a family of your own. I want you to be happy as well, my big brother.” Dimitri felt happy with Regaleon's words and smiled.
”I will try, your majesty.” Dimitri replied.
”I believe you would find many women having a fancy on you. You will not any problems with finding one. Hahaha.” Regaleon chuckled.
”Even if you say that, it is not that easy, your majesty. Hahaha.” Dimitri chuckled.
Both of the men laughed out inside the office. They looked like brothers having a fun conversation.
