Chapter 105: Dragon King Castle
“Where are we?” Luna asked suspiciously.
From one moment to the next, they went from being in a forest of mushrooms to being in a luxurious structure: white tables, golden glasses, drawings on the walls that demonstrated a high artistic level… And much more.
‘Is this an illusion?’ she asked.
But Camila shook her head. “No, the stone I destroyed is one of the many stones my father gave me to teleport me to the Dragon King’s castle,” she explained, without revealing too much information.
Luna nodded, finding this explanation quite logical. Still, to her this was all quite fascinating.
“So where do we go now?” asked Theos, stepping forward.
The intent of his words were clear… Let Camila guide them. She clearly saw this, turning around to start walking.
“Follow me, I will take you where you want to go,” she stated, continuing to walk.
Luna and Theos crossed glances. As if connected, the two nodded, as a tactical agreement, they walked together, following Camilla.
Walking through the corridors of the Dragon King’s Castle, Luna fully observed everything, finding some things curious. But she was always on the lookout for any “abnormality”.
Theos didn’t let his guard down at any time either. Being inside an unknown territory, if that was not enough, that unknown territory where he is is the home of dragons, very powerful beings in the whole world.
Fortunately, nothing happened along the way. The two followed Camilla quietly, passing through the different areas of the castle.
If they had to say one abnormality, it was that there was not a single soul or sound in the entire castle, which in itself was quite disturbing.
Still, the two didn’t ask about everything, and in fact, Theos already had a plan to escape in the event of receiving surprise attacks.
‘My own ancestors murdered a large portion of their race into near extinction, to not think that they will do me no wrong would be childish and ingenuity on my part,’ Theos thought.
He didn’t think a grudge would be settled so easily, especially one that almost left a race on the brink of extinction . So he was especially alert and careful.
“This is it,” Camilla said, snapping Theos out of his thoughts.
Looking in front of him, there was a large door made of pure shiny gold. But that was not the only special thing, but the aura that the door transmitted, as if opening it would be the worst mistake of your life.
But Theos was not frightened and surprisingly even less so Luna, who stood proudly in front of the door.
After all, she had in front of her the only chance to be able to cure her parents. Why be afraid? Why be a coward? She was willing to risk her life!
Seeing Luna’s look full of determination, Camila smiled slightly. “I see you have a lot of determination, who do you want to saved?” she asked, before wanting to open the door.
She already knew the answer because she had been told by Theos, but she wanted to confirm it with Luna herself.
Luna turned to Camila. “Yes, I am struggling to find the cure so I can cure my parents of a serious curse,” she stated.
Camila nodded, being satisfied by this purpose. What would life be without purpose? To her, a person who had no purpose was, is, and will be no one in life.
Reaching out, stopped her just before she knocked on the door.
“You are going to meet the Dragon King, one of the few beings who can boast of being Semi-God Rank, so, I recommend that you be careful what you say in front of him,” she warned, proceeding to push the door open.
The door slowly opened from the faint push, slowly revealing the royal room… The King’s throne room.
Theos’ eyes glimpsed the figure of a giant man, about 5 meters tall, his body rested seated on a large throne of gold and diamonds, with drawings of dragons all over it.
His long silver hair cascaded down his back and part of his face, giving a somewhat unkempt appearance, but not lowering his dignity, in fact, he looked even more intimidating.
His menacing golden eyes, like those of Astaroth himself, were fixed on Theos.
Theos felt as if his life and his greatest secrets were being exposed to the world. An uncomfortable feeling, but one that angered him significantly.
He frowned.
Yes, he is a Dragon King, a being closer to divinity than mortality. But would Theos let him see into his soul? Without asking permission or anything? That’s totally unacceptable!
Without realizing it, Theos’ scowl turned into an expression of restrained anger. But the King paused his gaze on Theos for a couple of seconds, before looking away.
To the fortune of both sides, the Dragon King stared at Luna, otherwise… Theos would have possibly declared war against the dragon race, thus creating a new disaster like thousands of years ago.
“What brings you here?” the Dragon King asked, lazily supporting the side of his face with his clenched fist.
His eyes disinterested and indifferent, yet menacing and superior was a rare and complex combination, but Theos did not shrink in the least, taking a step forward.
“I came to seek a nectar to cure grave curses,” he declared.
Surprisingly, the Dragon King shook his head. “If it is for your mother’s curse, let me disappoint you, but in this Kingdom there is not even a potion that can help her recover or remove her curse” he said regretfully.
Theos was surprised by the sudden statement. How did he know that Teressa has a curse? When do dragons have such a web of information?
“How do you know about my mother’s curse?” asked Theos cautiously, analyzing every word the Dragon King would say next.
In the royal hall, silence reigned for a few brief seconds, before the King responded lazily:
“That’s easy to answer… A few days, weeks, months or years ago… I don’t really remember, but your father, Matheo Von Fallen, came to this Kingdom with the intention of seeking a cure for the curse of your mother, Teressa Hydronia.”
