We returned to the Ryujin mansion where my servants welcod us back with Lord Oberon still being there.
"You’re still here?" I asked as I saw him and he smiled.
"I waited to welco you back, Master Ocean. I am leaving tomorrow." He inford .
I humd lightly before looking at my household personnel and announced of the safety of everyone and also that they might return in two weeks.
The ones who had their people on field cheered at the aspect of seeing their loved ones back while the others were delighted to know that everything went smoothly.
A couple of days passed after that and I visited Zach who was still in the hospital. He seed quite relaxed with so docunts in one hand and eating and apple with another as he lounged in his bed.
"You seem to be doing good." I comnted and he grinned as he saw .
"I am." He answered and I took a seat on the chair observing him.
"You even brought your work here," I gestured at the docunts and he smiled.
"Well, I had to, these things were urgent." He smiled making smile back.
"How are your wounds?"
"Recovering."
"Good to see that,"
"Also, here," he said as he held out a docunt to .
"What’s this?" I asked as I took it.
I read the first few lines and frowned a little before I looked at him.
"It’s in return for your help,"
It was the magic contract that said that Count Zachary Erkens would be an ally to Baron Ocean Ryujin unconditionally.
I shook my head as I placed the docunts down, "You’ve already given what I wanted."
"Don’t worry, it’s not only for you but also for ." He grinned making cock a brow as I read ahead.
I almost rolled my eyes as I read that we would both help each other when the other would be in trouble.
I checked the level of the magic that was casted on the contract and shook my head as it was a Master level. I had a feeling that it was way below . Still the way he was smiling without any hint of insidiousness made not tell him that.
"You really think you would be able to keep up with ?" I asked.
He chuckled, "I don’t want to race against you, Master Ocean. It’s just to tell you that I’m on your side now. Unconditionally."
I looked at the magic contract before I picked up the feather pen that was on his bedside.
"Fine then, I’m counting on you from now on, Count Zachary Erkens." I announced as I put my signature on the paper.
He smiled as he took that contract and looked at my signature which glowed in a blue hue, he also put his signature after mine and showed it to .
"Get well soon so that I would have so free ti," I said and he laughed.
"Don’t worry, I’ll be back in no ti."
I returned to my mansion and found Baron Oberon’s invitation waiting for . It was a ticket to another show nad, ’The Guardian’.
It would be his first play after going through the entire ordeal of being frad and the monster attacks in his territory. I was glad that he was also doing well now.
The show was on the weekend so, I guess I would have to finish my work to free up my evening.
I made the preparations accordingly and gave Roan instructions in case sothing remained.
"I’ll do everything that you tell , Master." He spoke with glowing eyes making sigh.
He’d been acting like my fanboy ever since we returned from the borders. I could understand that he had been a priest who had been praying to the Saintess that called the Dragons in this world and also those Dragons as well but to think he’d start fawning over too was a bit unsettling.
"Roan, please go back to your normal self," I told him multiple tis but he would end up with the sa answer.
"I wouldn’t dare to, you are currently one of the seven great Dragons who are gracing the world with their presence."
I hadn’t amassed enough strength to call myself a full-fledged Dragon yet but he had already put in the sa category as those legendary creatures that had managed to protect this world years ago. Ironically enough, I was also given the similar task by my Patrons as the task that the Dragons chose.
"Why didn’t you guys choose to get those Dragons on board and do the task?" I asked my Patrons.
[Defender of Divine Glory says that they needed so catalyst to bring those Dragons together again.]
[Goddess of Wisdom says that it’s not easy to order the Dragons around.]
"You are Goddesses and Archangel yet, it’s hard for you?"
[Giver of Gifts corrects saying that Dragons are also Demigods so, they have their own duties and that’s why they don’t like being ordered by other Gods or Angels.]
"I’m a Dragon too, you know?"
They fell silent after that and I couldn’t help it, I might have to gather these Dragons in the future as the ti to this so-called destruction grew close. Manipulating humans and other weaker species was one thing but Dragons would see through .
If I went before any one of them then, they might turn to dust with my current level of power. I would have to grow stronger and fuse my blood with the Dragon’s bloodline completely so that my heart would also beco Mana Heart. Before that coming across any Dragon would be a death sentence.
There were total six Supre Dragons on earth currently, if I took out Aqua Dragon from the equation but they might not be that thrilled to fight against another problem even if I did bring them on board. They might even disregard as the Aqua Dragon’s scion because I was born as a human.
I shook my head pushing away these thoughts, I would worry about all this when I actually would run into so Dragon. Till then, I would have to focus on the ones around .
I turned my head as I heard the knock on the door and called the person in, Lyall walked inside dressed in his Butler’s uniform.
My assassins team and the Dark Elves had returned to Ryujin mansion only two days ago. I had the Dark Elves stay at the outhouse near my mansion for the ti being as I would need to find a safer place for them to stay. In the anwhile, Lyall had taken his spot at my side again putting at ease.
"It’s ti, Master." He reminded as he held up my coat and mask.
I stood up and he placed the coat on my shoulders and helped strap the mask over my face.
It was ti for the show.
"Would you like to go along?" I asked him.
"I’d love to, but I have work to finish here." He smiled and I patted his shoulder.
"Don’t overwork yourself and spend so ti with your family as well."
"I will, Master."
"All right then, I should get going or I’ll be late." I said as I walked up to the window of my room.
"Enjoy the show, Master." Lyall said and I chuckled before I stepped onto the railing and then leapt off with the flap of my wings.
It took a few minutes to reach the Shadowcliff City’s theatre and once I landed there I spotted the servant who was already waiting for .
I was led down the sa corridor as last ti to the VIP room and I found Lord Devil aka Lord Oberon waiting there for with a mask on his face.
"Welco, Lord Dragon. I was waiting for you," he said as he presented his hand to .
"I’m sorry for making you wait," I replied placing my hand in his and he chortled.
"It’s fine, I would have delayed the show."
I shook my head with a smile as we took our seats.
"I hope you will like this story," he said.
"Of course, if it’s written by the great playwright Lord Oberon then I’m bound to love it." I replied with a smile and he chuckled.
The lights on the stage dimd and the narration started, the play seed to be about a hero.
The spot light fell on a young man who seed quite good-looking and had blue hair, I was intrigued watching a person who had blue hair and I leaned ahead watching intently.
The blue haired guy was called a Guardian and he seed to be having his adventures by helping people.
"You can choose to trust or regret it later." I almost chuckled as the guy said to the man in trouble.
The guy went around helping people without expecting anything in return but his actions weren’t in vain as those whom he helped were devoted to him and followed him. They followed his words like sermons.
He was like a God to the ones who replied on him but ruthless to those who crossed him or his people. I enjoyed the ti when he crushed his enemies and spoke sassy dialogues.
Sohow, it seed familiar. A blue haired young man helping people around and those people coming under his wing.
It was clear until the end of the play when the blue haired guy beca the King of the nation with his subjects loving and following him like a God.
I turned to look at Lord Oberon who stared back at expectantly.
"That guy..." I pointed at the actor on the stage who bowed to the crowd and then the actors turned and looked up at us before giving us a sweeping bow.
I couldn’t believe it, Lord Oberon had ended up writing a play which reflected my character.
"Consider it a way of saying thank you," he said with a smile touching his dark eyes, "I hope you don’t mind paying my respect to my idol as a fan."
