The First Legendary Beast Master - Chapter 1371 Hiding Spot Found
Chapter 1371 Hiding Spot Found
And the annoyed guardians coming to collect the kids was exactly what happened.
“Where is my wayward sister? And why are there so many young dragons here? There are Nobles all over the Royal Wing looking for them. Nobody knows what room you are in.” Prince Lukas complained.
Karl’s expression changed from confused to bemused as he realized the chaos that they had inadvertently caused.
The Palace staff had relocated them to an unused section of the Palace because the Princess’ room wasn’t suitable to be exposed to outsiders, and foreigners weren’t traditionally housed in the Royal Wing, except to place them close to residents of the wing.
So, when the other Noble Children’s parents came looking, everyone who knew where they had gone was already at the suite, watching the children.
That led to dozens of Nobles wandering aimlessly, looking for an Envoy that only a few of them had properly met, and most of them couldn’t describe properly outside his Dragon form, which had been what made the biggest impression on them.
Fortunately, that was enough for some of the servants who were up on the gossip to lead them in the right direction, but this wing was so unused, that there wasn’t anyone nearby to guide them when they got close.
At least not before the first of them found it, entirely accidentally.
“Oh my! This is quite the room. Tell me, what did you have to do to get the King to grant you a training facility like this? And why wasn’t this in use before?” The Mythic Ranked dragon pleaded as he entered the training area.
“This is actually a standard visitor’s suite and a rooftop patio that I converted with an Illusionary Domain. That’s why you don’t recognize it.
Now, I take it that one of these younglings is yours?” Karl asked.
“The one with the missing front teeth.” The dragon agreed.
That made it easy. The boy was missing his front teeth in both dragon and humanoid form, and they left a very noticeable gap.
“He’s on the ground over there by the obstacle course. I think that he clipped his wing on the hoop again.” Barry noted.
“Thank you, Librarian.”
The mother dragon tried not to laugh as her boy got to his four feet and cursed fluently in draconic, then flapped back to the end of the line to wait his turn to start again.
“You brat, get over here. Don’t tell me that you lost track of time, I can see the maid I sent to fetch you.” His mother shouted.
The boy took one look at her and bolted, headed for the edge of the illusion.
Unfortunately for him, he was flying the wrong way, and that side of the illusion was an interior wall of the suite in reality.
He couldn’t escape in that direction.
With a resounding thud, he bounced off the barrier at the edge of the spell, put in place by Karl to prevent anyone from wandering into someone’s bedroom, or falling out of a castle window.
The little dragon rubbed his head as he got back to his feet, and glared at the barrier that didn’t let him flee his mother, while the woman stood with her hands on her hips.
“Nice try. Now, transform back, it’s time to head to grandma’s.”
Sheepishly, the boy transformed back into a humanoid, but his mother’s lecture as she led him out of the suite was loud enough that it attracted other parents from two floors away.
That caused an influx of parents, and a tide of children rushing to find their assigned servant and escape before their own parents found them loitering far longer than they were supposed to have.
If mom didn’t catch them before they got back to their own rooms, it didn’t count, right?
With all the troublemakers gone, the Crown Prince took Rue’s hand and turned toward the door.
“Emissary, I will return Rue to you after dinner. Sisters, this is Emissary Karl, of the Darklight Host in Cyhosasa.” Luke announced.
“Greetings Emissary.” The two older Princesses responded with a curtsy.
“Are we going to food now? I’m hungry.” Rue asked.
“Not quite yet. We’ve got to pick up the suitors for these two before we eat. But they’re on the way, you won’t have to wait long” He explained.
Rue looked at Karl, and her brother patted her on the head. “No, he’s not a candidate. He’s already a married man. Now, come help me scare the Noble brats into behaving at dinner.”
Rue giggled, but gave her brother a suspicious look when he turned away.
Was it always like this when you had power and respect? Nobody was ever this nice to her before, not even her biggest brother, who she had always considered one of the good ones.
Getting a class really was an overpowered boost to your social status.
While Rue was led away by her siblings, Dakkarian and Barry were left with Karl and some time to kill.
“The actual dinner time won’t be for another hour and a bit. How much time would it take for you to plan out the design for a duplicate of this room, in permanent form?” Librarian Barry asked.
“If you want it the same as this, I can have it done in half a day. But if you have a room in mind, I can come up with something that suits the space in the next hour, and then I will do the actual upgrading later, when I have time.” Karl suggested.
“Oh, that would be lovely. I was thinking of a room two floors beneath this one and just down the hall. It doesn’t have roof access, but there is a large patio that you could use to expand the Illusionary Domain if you needed.” The Blue Dragon offered.
Karl nodded. “It’s the obstacle course for flying that needs the most space. The other training areas are only a quarter that size, so they’re not an issue at my Rank.”
“Perfect, let’s head over there first, and then we will all go to dinner together.
Tonight they will have a buffet in the main hall for anyone who wants to eat here. I would suggest going into town to try something fancy, but it’s nearly impossible to get a good seat without booking in advance or kicking someone out.” Barry offered.
“Kicking someone out?” Karl replied, wondering what sort of system they had in place.
Dakkarian shrugged and answered for the embarrassed Librarian.
“Pulling Rank and simply taking a reservation made by a commoner well below your Rank is an option for Mythic Dragons. It’s rude, but what are they going to do about it?”
The black dragon’s words were harsh, but Karl could tell that it wasn’t something he routinely did. It did give Cara ideas, though.
Not of kicking people out of their reservation.
No, that would be no fun.
She wanted to randomly crash someone’s dinner party, just to see how far they would go to try to make her leave. If she was paying, Cara was pretty sure that
she could just sit down at random people’s tables whenever she wanted to eat. The look on their face would be priceless.
