"Draco, pour me some tea."
Draco poured Celea some tea.
Phhuuu
After drinking from it, Celea spit it all out on Draco's face. Draco didn't move an inch, not understanding what had just happened, while Celea looked straight at Dereus.
"Are you trying to poison me?" Celea said, drinking water.
"What are you talking about?"
"How much sugar did you put in it?"
"About twenty spoons. Why ?is it wrong?"
Celea handed Draco some tissues to clean himself up while Kai and Azar laughed uncontrollably. Celea took the tea and poured some for the king. Dereus took a sip and spat it onto Azar. Azar stopped laughing, while Celea, Draco, and Kai were now laughing
"What's wrong, brother? Did the cat eat your tongue?" Draco asked.
"Shut up."
"Here, take this." Celea handed him tissues.
"Kai, go make some tea!"
"Alright."
"Dereus, you are far from being saved."
"Yeah, you're a lost case."
"Not even the greatest cook of all time can help you."
The three mocked Dereus.
"You morons, my cooking is not that bad," Dereus shot back.
"Oh please, you almost killed me and yourself with tea."
"You little witch," Dereus said, throwing some bread at her.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE LEFT?!"
"She said she'll take a short vacation."
"WHERE THE HELL IS SHE NOW?!"
"We don't know, Alpha."
"IF YOU DON'T FIND HER IN FOUR HOURS, I'LL KILL YOU!"
"Yes, Alpha."
"Where did you go, Celea?"
The Alpha suddenly caught the scent—the one he had desperately been searching for.
"Hello, Claus."
"Zela…"
"It's been a while."
"Why did you decide to come back now, Zela?"
"I'm not here to talk about that. I'm here as a representative of the witches for the war that is about to come."
"Of course you're not here for me." Claus gave a small, arrogant laugh.
"I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU FOR FIFTY YEARS. I'VE LOOKED FOR YOU… BUT I COULDN'T FIND YOU."
"Claus, you have a mate now, so stop bringing the past back."
"Did those six hundred years with me mean nothing to you…?"
Silence.
"Go rest. We'll talk tomorrow about what needs to be done."
Claus left. Its not that he already forgot about Celea but Zela was part of his life longer than she hasn't and one day she just disappeared without trace leaving him behind he had looked for her 50 years
——
"Ceellee, don't gooo!"
The triplets were holding onto her, stopping her from moving any further. Draco was holding her waist, Kai was hugging her leg, and Azar was pulling her by the face.
"Get off me, you morons. Azar, you're ripping my face apart!"
"Hey, uncle, how about you stop filming and help me out?"
"But you look so cute."
"What… how do you even know how to use one?"
"Kai taught me."
"You stupid dragons!"
"Hey, don't call your uncle stupid!"
"Yeah, don't call us stupid!"
"Shut up, morons."
Dereus couldn't stop laughing at the situation Celea was in.
"Traitor!"
"Wha… how am I a traitor?"
"How could you betray me like that?"
"Cele, for the last time, I didn't betray you, but the four of you just look so adorable when you fight."
"I'll fly you back if you forgive me."
"You're forgiven. Now let's fly."
Dereus shifted into his majestic white dragon, and Celea climbed onto his head. Soon after, they took off. They flew through the portal and arrived in the magical realm. Dereus flew Celea to the lycan territory and landed in the palace's training ground. Everyone stared at the scene in disbelief—Luna sitting on the head of a dragon, and not just any dragon, but the Dragon King himself. Celea climbed down, waved goodbye, and Dereus flew away.
"Wow, I've never seen someone riding a dragon or a dragon this close without being at war."
Celea turned toward the voice behind her.
"Wow, a real angel," Celea exclaimed after seeing the woman's face.
"Phahah, I don't remember seeing one," the woman laughed at Celea's words.
"Then you should definitely use a mirror " Celea couldn't stop admiring her beauty
"I'm Zela" Zela leaned her hand forward for her to shake it.
Ah, no wonder he was so desperate to find her to the point of killing me. I would've gone mad too if she had run out of my life.
"Celea," she shook her hand.
"you must be here as a representative of the witches"
"how did you know that?"
"with all due respect, holy creature, there isn't a single soul in this palace who doesn't know about you"
They both laughed together.
"yeah, I think you are right"
"If you are here to talk about the war, it's a good thing you got to know me, since I have the most influence in that council. I always get what I want."
"really? are you some kind of important council member?"
"I'm the knights' commander"
"oh so I guess we'll see each other again, then it's a good thing I got to know you beforehand"
"then see you tomorrow, Zela"
"see you tomorrow, Commander Celea"
"Never expected that iceberg to set foot on lycan territory, let alone letting a woman ride him"
"looks like she has him around her little finger"
"The last time I saw him in his dragon form was at the war 600 years ago"
"who is she, Claus?"
Claus's brothers came to the palace to discuss the war and were now talking about Celea.
Before Claus could answer, Celea came through the door.
"Oh my, this must be a family reunion"
None of them could smell her coming because of the cape she was wearing again.
