True King's Ecstasy

Deep within the forest, the three dragons gathered for a meeting right after the birth of Aurora.

They had felt the sensation of a new dragon being born, and they were eager to discuss what they should do about it. The dragon whose friendly with Yuvanna, whose scales shimmered in the sunlight, spoke up first as he was the one who called the other two for the meeting.

"So, what do we do about this new dragon? I don't have to tell information right? I know you can feel it just like me," he asked, his voice calm and measured.

Even though he was friendly with Yuvanna, he had no intention to protect this dragon, if it didn't bring any benefit to them since that's how dragons are and that's how they will be.

The aggressive dragon, with his sharp, pointed teeth and fiery breath, glared at the neutral dragon, who was on the fence when it came to Aurora.

"What do you mean, what do we do? We eat it, of course! We eat it," he growled in anger.

"A new dragon that doesn't even belong to us, we don't want anyone like that,"

The neutral dragon raised an eyebrow.

"That's a bit extreme, don't you think? We don't even know anything about this new dragon. It could be a valuable ally and could be one of us, especially since it's Yuvanna's offspring."

"Don't forget, we need four of us to control the forest, it is our divine duty given to us by that person," The neutral dragon muttered in a calm tone.

The aggressive dragon snorted.

"Valuable ally? What a load of rubbish. We're dragons, we don't need allies. We need food and if it's Yuvanna's offspring all the more reason to kill it, I can't stand that old hag"

Yuvanna's friend knew why this dragon hated Yivanna so much. Since Yuvanna always disciplined this hot-headed dragon, it had immense hatred toward her so when they got to know that someone killed Yuvnna, even if it was human he thought about giving the blessing to that individual.

The third dragon, who had been dozing off, finally spoke up.

"Can we just go back to sleep? This is all very boring."

The neutral dragon sighed.

"Look, we need to think this through. Eating the new dragon might not be the best course of action. We could be missing out on a valuable opportunity."

The aggressive dragon rolled his eyes.

"Opportunity? What opportunity? The opportunity to befriend some weak, pathetic creature that can't even defend itself?"

The neutral dragon shook his head.

"You're being short-sighted. It might be weak now, but don't forget all of us were weaker than those goblins when we came to this world,"

"We could learn from this new dragon. It could teach us something we didn't know before about how it managed to get out of the egg when Yuvanna couldn't even finish the process."

The dozing dragon let out a loud yawn.

"Can we please wrap this up? I'm getting sleepy."

"Shut up! I will send you to an eternal slumber, so you won't get sleepy," Pissed off by the sleepy dragon's attitude, the aggressive one shouted in anger.

The neutral dragon turned to the aggressive dragon with the same uninterested look.

"Let's at least consider other options before making a decision. We don't want to regret our actions later on."

The aggressive dragon snorted again.

"Fine. But I'm telling you, I have a feeling this new dragon won't be worth our time."

As the three dragons continued to argue and debate, the fate of the new dragon hung in the balance. Would they choose to befriend it, or would they succumb to their base instincts and devour it? Only time would tell.

"Say, mama!" Daphnia patted Aurora's head, while surrounded by other girls hoping they would be able to hear the treasured word from their daughter's mouth.

She suddenly opened her mouth like she was trying to talk exciting everyone around her.

"Ma...ma.... "

"Papa!" Suddenly, breaking everyone's expectations, she said Velian's name making everyone gasp.

"What's with this girl? Always saying your name," Delviny didn't even know how to react, as she wanted to hear someone calling her mother even once in her life.

Everyone had been doting on Aurora since the day she was born, so she had nothing to worry about except indulging in their kindness.

Elda, Sariya, Daphnia and Lyra had been acting like proper and kind mothers for her, while Delviny, Juno and Naomi remained strict, but deep down all of them loved her the same.

"How do we explain about her to the servants? And others who see here?" Sariya questioned, as it was one of her main concerns.

"She won't go out, I'm using my full power to prevent her presence from being known by other dragons, so until she's strong enough to consume the core, she will train inside the castle," Velian said.

At that moment, Naomi knew she would have to dispose of anyone that dare to leak information about her daughter and she was not hesitant to do that.

"Veli, if other dragons attack us? Can we win against them?" Delviny questioned as she wanted to know about their abilities.

"One, we might be able to damage," Velian said and looked at others. He knew lying wouldn't be good since it would be misguiding them, so he decided to tell the truth.

"It's actually not we, at your rank none of you can fight against a dragon, even if you team up,"

"I can fight on equal ground if they are not stronger than her real mother, but I don't want to depend on unknown factors, that's why we need to be more powerful than anyone," Velian said and looked at Delviny.

"We need to find that black thing and see whether we can tame that thing, and any artifacts or monster we can use, we should use it,"

Everyone nodded their head like they were approving his words, while they decided to leave it all to the future and enjoy the current moment.
