Velian entered the castle with the expectation to meet Daphnia, who should be working with Sariya on management-related works.
"Maybe Sariya might know something since she was a noble daughter,"
Thinking about the best possible source of information, Velian made his way through the hallway and entered the room, where they were working.
"Are two busy? I want to talk about something," Velian questioned Daphnia and Saroya, who was silently working on the documents.
Hearing Velian's sound they raised their head and looked at Velian with a confused look.
"What do you need, darling?" Daphnia questioned.
Sariya and Daphnia, the kingdom's trusted advisors and his lovers, sat across from him, trying to help as much as they could.
"I need to know about something," Velian looked at both of them and questioned, what was on his mind and he asked them to tell any kind of information about the past.
"Hmm~ I heard we had a battle with demons and they were led by a demon lord, but we haven't seen demons for a long time,"
Daphnia said without knowing how to help Velian.
"Yes, there are records about how most of the humans got together to fight demons, and they took the support of the elves and beastkin, but now we all are enemies," Sariya's words caught Velian's interest.
"So who's the current leader of the demons? Another demon lord? If so, why won't they attack us?"
Velian had to guess it was because dragons protecting the forest and just like he thought, it was the case.
ραпdα Йᴏνê|(сòm) "Forest is more dangerous than it used to be, in the record it said that the monsters didn't come out of their habitats except for hunting in the past, but nowadays they are coming out just to attack people," Daphnia said with her eyes closed trying to remember what she was taught.
"Crossing the sea is impossible, so I don't know how they can invade us," Sariya added some interesting information to it.
"Why are you looking for these things, Veli?" Confused about her son's intention, Daohmia asked because the last thing she wanted was Velian trying to battle demons.
"That black thing has some kind of a relationship with the demon lord, It's like a parasite which can take over the bodies of the individuals," Velian had no intention of his anything, so he said everything that happened.
"Does that mean demons are trying to do something to us and take this land?" Daphnia couldn't believe how absurd this situation was.
She wondered why everything had to happen when her son is supposed to control this land.
"I hope not, we have enough problems, but this is not like because we some know how many people have this black thing with them,"
Velian didn't want enough close to him being a victim of this.
"Our only option is finding the main source, the prime minister or Andriya, but capturing them alive is the problem, I could probably do that, but just like last time if that parasite try to take my body, it would be problematic," Velian thought about something they can do.
Velian looked around the dimly lit room, deep in thought. His mind raced as he considered their options. The black thing that had infected so many was a menace, and they needed to stop it before it caused any more harm.
Velian had already experienced the dangers of the parasite firsthand, and he knew that they needed to be careful.
As he pondered their next move, a sudden realization struck him.
"What if we use a demon to find what this thing is?" he muttered to himself.
His companions looked at him quizzically, wondering what he was thinking.
"How can we even do that? Isn't it safe to destroy this thing instead of keeping it with us?"
Sariya questioned worriedly about the protection and the danger. She had bad thoughts about keeping such a harmful subject inside the kingdom.
"It would be safe, but we will stay in the dark forever if we miss this chance, I need to know what is this thing trying to do," Velian thought about his plan and decided to act upon it.
Velian left Daphnia and Sariya before they collect any more work because of him and went to the royal library to read historical records.
"I will have to find a demon, but going to the demon continent, is it really safe? Maybe a demon is in this land spreading all this stuff," He had to wish that they knew what it might be.
After hours of investigation and finding extra information, Velian went back to meet Delviny to discuss about his plans.
He told her about their only two options, which are either finding the prime minister or Andriya, which is easy but dangerous and finding a demon.
If they could find a friendly demon, Velian knew things wouldn't be too hard.
"Brother, it is too far, even if want we can't go, and there's the dragon threat," Delviny didn't feel either of these options was real.
But Velian knew sooner or later, he will have to face the dragon because he possessed one of their kinds egg.
Velian's expression softened as he placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
"I know it won't be easy, but we can't give up now. We'll face the dragon when the time comes. But first, we need to finish our current war,"
With that, the two siblings went back to meet others to tell about their plans, and most of them didn't find it appealing since they clearly saw Velian wasn't untouchable this time.
"I'm going to fasten things, I wanted to wait for a little until everyone settle down with their power, but we need to act quickly,"
Velian said and looked at everyone with a smile.
"This week, I'm going to hatch the egg, and all of you need to be there with me,"
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement, but at the same time, some of them were confused.
"Why the whole week, Veli?" Lyra questioned.
"Of course, did you think one day would be enough for a dragon egg? We need a whole lot of mana for this,"
Velian knew they underestimated this process, but he had to show how hard and enjoyable their life going to be in the next couple of days.
