"How is it possible that you all failed to see those demons coming towards my dear to kill him? You all failed to protect my husband and lost the dignity of being called royal dragon soldiers!" Rose shouted as she looked at the dragon soldiers in a row, lowering their heads in fear from Rose's rage.
They could feel the weight in her voice how much she was angry and losing her mind after another attack in the imperial palace. Not only did they fail to detect the incoming intruder, but they weren't able to come in time to protect me. The royal soldiers were sweating as they felt they really had messed up badly this time.
The maids were cleaning the room that had been destroyed by uninvited demons, Luna was still unconscious and being examined by the healer.
Sophia locked me in her embrace and stroked my hair tenderly with love. Her body was trembling after the demon eater attacked me. "My son, are you not hurt, are you? Tell Mother now, I will call all the healers in the kingdom and heal any injury immediately.
Sophia eyes filled with tears as she undressed my body and searched for visible injury in my body. When the maids saw me a few inches of skin, their faces blushed as they saw my flawless body.
"Mother, I'm okay, I'm not hurt. Those demons were weak, there was no need to worry."
"Huh?"
"What!"
Rose was shouting at the soldiers, who were suddenly halted, she turned around and looked at me with the same looks Sophia had.
"You said demon? Was this attack done by demons?" Rose walked closer to me and asked as her eyes locked on mine. I nodded my head firmly, explained everything that happened, and showed the Frost fairy that had been hiding in my clothes.
"A Frost fairy!" Rose mumbled in shock upon seeing the fairy hiding under my clothes and refusing to come out. She looks so afraid seeing many eyes at her.
Maids and soldiers were shocked when they saw a real fairy, they forgot their work and worries, and everyone kept staring at the little fairy.
"So many dragons! Their aura is so intense and powerful that they are going to hurt me." The little fairies trembled in fear and turned around to avoid their gaze, I didn't understand her words and heard some small cute noise.
Sophia, being an adult, couldn't help but become excited to see a fairy. From ancient times, there were only a few people on the continent had seen a glimpse of a fairy. They are said to be symbols of purity, and they are only seen by children because they are pure and innocent. "Fairy! A real fairy! It is my first time seeing one. But what is this one doing here in the castle, and why is she clinging to you like that?"
[Fairy never leaves their home, they live and die at the same place where they were born, and it is taboo for them to step into the outside world.]
"You know a lot about them. Do you mind telling me more and why she left her home and came here?" I asked Frosty, she seemed to know much more about them.
[Frost fairies once used to live in the ice realm, they were extremely few in number and afraid of any small creature. They require significant vegetation, and a place mana level is high to give birth to their offspring...]
"But there is no place in the ice realm." I completed words after her pause.
[Yes, there was no place in the ice realm, it was mostly ice-dry outland where no wild creatures or anyone could survive. Where those places exist are already inhabited by monsters. It was not after they finally extinct from the world. That is what I thought.]
I listened to her words closely and looked at the small one in my shirt, hiding in fear.
"She was being followed by that demon, they were here after her." I moved my hand towards the fairy and gently petted her back.
She felt a warm sensation after being petted. The fear of being stared at by many eyes soon vanished as she turned around to see I was caressing her back.
"He feels so warm and his eyes are so beautiful." She mused while looking into my eyes.
