A Tale Untold

Chapter Twenty-three: Reconnection

"Is this all you found?"

"Yes, your highness."

"Haaa... knowing him, he probably knows more. Well, I'm just thankful he left this with Raon-nim."

"Human has more. I just happen to have that because we had to leave right away, so the papers were in jumbles. I then gave the other spatial bag to the weak human."

"It's alright. This is enough. I will meet you guys there in two days time. If things go according to what Cale has written here, we should be able to get help from a mage and a wolf."

"That's right your highness. We'll definitely end that scumbag of a mage."

"Yeah! I'll kill him for hurting my human!"

"That's right Raon-nim. At least now we can prepare for the future. And Choi Han, you should teach me this language."

"Sure your highness. But I think Cale-nim would be a better teacher."

"Ha. Knowing him, he'd probably dump the task to you even if I ask him."

"Yeah. Human is so lazy. But human still played with me when we asked him to play with us. I- I want to play with human again."

The four year old dragon now has teary eyes as he recalled the memories he had with his weak human.The two man looked at him and gave him a pat. The crown prince then gave him another cookie.

"Don't worry Raon. Cale-nim will return. And when he does, you can play with him again."

"Hmp!" The black dragon huffed as he fluttered his wings.

"That's right. We all trained to be stronger. When he's back, we can protect him together. Okay?"

"Okay. But I really miss him. It's been soooo long." The tears were now falling from his eyes.

"We know Raon. We miss hom too." Choi Han then pat the black dragon the head.

After Raon have calmed down, he and Choi Han went back to the Henituse estate.

Raon didn't forget to bring cookies for his siblings.

"Haaaa..." The crown prince sighed as he slumped on his chair.

"What's wrong dear nephew?"

"It's nothing, aunt. It's just that royal father has been weird lately."

"You mean the tea time together?"

"Yes."

"Why? You said he didn't scold you, and that you didn't talk about anything special."

"Yes. That's what makes it weird. Why would he ask for a tea time if he doesn't want to say anything regarding the kingdom?"

"Maybe he's bored?"

Alberu scoffed and answered.

"Ha. Then he should ask my siblings then. Seriously, I'm already busy as it is."

"Aigoo. Dear nephew, I know you don't have a good relationship with your father, I mean the man is a bastard after all, and I'd like to think that he's trying to get to be close to you. But for now, just bear with it and try to figure out his objective."

"I will. It's just hard to talk to him. Aside from the issues in the kingdom, we don't have a topic to talk about."

"What about asking him about his academy days with count Deruth. I heard before that they used to go there together."

"Really? Well, thanks for the tip aunt."

"No problem dear nephew. Now go, you'll be late with your tea time with your royal father. And I have to go the Forest of Darkness to collect dead mana."
