Not the Novel World
66. Little Dragon

Everyone did not expect that the little animal could let out fire from its mouth. Seint even grimaced softly withstanding the pain he felt on his hand.

Everyone was about to run to see the condition of Seint's hands, but their steps stopped because Citto again released fire from his mouth.

"CITTO YOU CAN'T DO IT!" Lilian shouted furiously.

The little dragon then stopped emitting fire from its mouth and lowered its head upon seeing the fury from Lilian. Lilian looked towards Seint who was holding the pain and then looked towards Artem.

"Get me a burn ointment!" Lilian's words were taken quickly by Artem.

Lilian pulled Seint's hand to sit down next to her and blew Seint's reddish hand. "Is this really sick?" Lilian asked as she continued to blow Seint's hand.

"Little." Said Seint while settling Lilian. "It's angry but it still cares." Inner Seint while holding back her smile.

Artem came with some medicine and a washcloth in his hand. As he wanted to approach Seint and Lilian his steps came to a halt and stared doubtfully at Citto. Understanding with a gaze from Artem, Lilian then looked towards Citto. "Can't do it again remember!" Said Lilian firmly.

Ciiittt....

Citto's voice sounded sad. Lilian then looked back at Artem and nodded towards him. Artem walked over and gave the medicine to Lilian. Zheyan, Asgar, Fania and Violet walked up to Seint and Lilian after making sure Citto would not attack anyone again.

Lilian compresses Seint's hand and occasionally blows it. "What's sore?" Lilian asked with a worried look.

"Sssss sick." Seint pretended to grimace in pain.

"I'm sorry Citto! I didn't know he could get fire out of his mouth." Said Lilian while applying the saleb in Seint's hand.

"It's okay?" Said Seint still staring at the worried face of Lilian.

"I'm afraid it's gonna work." Lilian.

"I am a man." Said Seint still staring at Lilian.

Lilian raised her head and looked straight into Seint's eyes. "The eyes are so beautiful." Inner Lilian.

Degs...Degs...Degs...

The sound of Lilian's heartbeat, he even gulped nervously at Seint's handsome face up close. "What is my feeling? Seint the more handsome the day." Inner Lilian judging.

"Ekhemmmm... Can you two see the situation and the situation first if you want to make out?" Artem told Lilian.

Lilian took off Seint's hand and closed her eyes nervously. "Stupid! Why can I forget that there are so many people here." Lillian in heart.

Seint stared intently at Artem. "If you don't like it don't look!" Keto.

"We're worried about you, Your Majesty." Artem pressed down on every word.

"Then?" Say Seint flat.

"Argghhhh.." Shouts Artem frustrated.

"Is His Majesty alright?" Zheyan asked looking at Seint's hand.

"It's okay." Seint.

Seint looked towards Lilian who was still bowing her head. "Why duck?" Ask Seint.

Lilian cleared her throat briefly to melt the atmosphere she thought was tense. "It's okay." He said while looking at Citto.

"Since when has he been able to get fire out of his mouth?" Ask Asgar.

Lilian shook her head slowly. "Let's go. I don't think he's gonna let out a fire." Lilian was confused.

"It looks like Citto is looking sad." Fania.

"Maybe because Lilian scolded him." Violet.

Lilian stared at Citto then pulled him in her arms. "They're all my Big Brother and my friends' themes, next time you can't do it again huh!" Said Lilian softly while stroking the Citto's head slowly.

Citt...Citt...Citt... Small Citto voice.

"I assume you agree to it." Said Lilian smiling happily.

Zheyan looked at Lilian seriously. "It looks like Citto will react angrily if someone tries to hurt Lilian." Her speech.

"really. He thought Prince Seint was going to hurt Lilian so Citto took the fire out of his mouth." Asgar Say.

"Could Citto be able to change his body shape?" Ask Zheyan curiously.

Seint sighed softly. "It looks like it is." Said Seint looking seriously at Citto.

The next day, time showed during the day. It has been 3 days the nobles do hunting activities held by the palace. After the incident that caused everyone's uproar, the palace took a very tight guard.

Now this is where everyone gathers, in a very large area in the forest. They are waiting for the arrival of the King who will give a short speech and directly announce the winner of the event.

Seen the King walking gallantly followed by his followers. When the King came to his seat of pride, he relaxed his gaze upon all who had gathered.

"Everyone salute His Majesty the King!" Shouted a Soldier.

Everyone looked down and saluted the King. "May Your Majesty always be healthy and continue to be blessed by the heavens." Say everyone.

Everyone raised their heads and looked seriously at the King.

"Today is the last day a hunting activity is held." Said King Reinal loudly.

King Reinal took a slow breath and took it out. "Before I thank you to those of you who have participated to succeed this activity. Although on the first day of this activity there was such a big problem." Her speech.

"From the very first moment something happened outside of our plan. Two great tigers have entered the territory of the Princess nobles and have injured many Soldiers as well as the Princess of the high ranking Duke Marven." King Reinal.

King Reinal again sighed softly. "For the incident that befell Miss Lilian, we officially apologize on behalf of the kingdom to the Duke Marven noble family for being negligent in maintaining security at this event. On this occasion also I would like to thank Miss Lilian for her heroic actions, she has saved many lives from Princess nobles including my own Princess." His words paused while looking at everyone.

"To appreciate the service of Miss Lilian, the palace had prepared her a gift. A few days before this activity was inaugurated, we had sent a letter notification of the official relationship between the Crown Prince and Miss Lilian. To that end on this day I will officially announce Miss Lilian of the noble family of Duke Marven officially as the Crown Princess of the Apollonia kingdom." King Reinal said firmly.

A boisterous voice rang out from everyone present. Some agree with the King's word and some do not approve the King's word.

"For Your Majesty... Earlier I apologized for having been presumptuous to cut your edict but not in the royal rules of a Royal Princess who has a relationship with the new Crown Prince can be officially appointed if she is already twenty years." Marquis Gaustark said.

A boisterous voice rang out again upon hearing the rebuttal from Marquis Gaustark.

"please have His Majesty rethink this commandment." Speak the other nobles simultaneously.

King Reinal raised his head firmly. "My decision has been absolute and inviolable." King Reinal.

"Your Majesty... I know, Miss Lilian has been meritorious in what she has done but Her Majesty's decision violates the rules of this kingdom. Please Your Majesty reconsider." Marquis Gaustark.

"Please Your Majesty reconsider." Say everyone's bowing in unison.

"I can't withdraw my decision." Tega.

"YOUR MAJESTY." Say everyone simultaneously.

"I have good reason to officially appoint Miss Lilian as Crown Princess despite her age of sixteen." King Reinal said firmly.

"Your Majesty, even though Miss Lilian has saved many lives but raised her as Crown Princess at her present age is not true." Viscount Wilson.

King Reinal exhaled softly. "In the kingdom of Apollonia there has appeared a dragon." Speech paused.

Everyone was shocked to hear the words from King Reinal. For so long they lived, they only considered the existence of dragons as a myth.

"The dragon appeared after the incident of two large tigers entering the territory of the Princess of nobility. Our kingdom is symbolized by the dragon, which means supreme power. Whoever can conquer a dragon then he can also rule over many territories." Obviously King Reinal.

"Then what does the dragon's appearance have to do with Miss Lilian Your Majesty?" Ask Viscount Wilson.

"In the history of the kingdom of Apollonia, it is believed that dragons will always protect us. If a woman can control a dragon then she is considered a goddess. Now the dragon appeared and could only be controlled by Miss Lilian. In the rule of the kingdom a person who can control a dragon has absolute power in the kingdom even though he is still sixteen years old." Obviously King Reinal is long.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the King. Marquis Gaustark and Viscount Wilson gave each other the codes, then looked at the King seriously.

"Sorry Your Majesty, it is not your intention to distrust your words but every word must have proof." Marquis Gaustark.

King Thanos sighed softly then looked towards Duke Marven then he gave a brief nod. After some time, Zheyan came with Lilian, followed by Seint, Artem, Asgar, Fania and Violet behind him. Duke Marven himself returned to his ranks.

When Zheyan sat Lilian on a chair that had been specially prepared for her. Everyone stared in horror at the face and hands of Lilian who was not covered in her dress filled with wounds.Lillian saw carrying something in her arms that she hid in a bundle of cloth.

"Show us where the dragon is Miss Lilian!" Viscount Wilson.

Lilian then opened the bundle of cloth and appeared an animal that was very similar to a long-haired cat.

Everyone laughed at Citto. "Is this the cat that Miss said dragon?" Marquis Gaustark asked withstanding his smile then he looked at King Reinal. "Your Majesty how can a cat be considered a dragon?" He asked with a cynical smile.

GRDR...GRDR...GRDR... Citto voice angry.

Everyone laughed again at Citto's funny angry behavior.

Marquis Gaustark could not help but laugh at Citto, then he walked over to him and intended to hold him. "How can a cat..." Speech paused.

GGGGRRRROOOOOAAAAAARRRR...

Citto let out a considerable amount of fire from his mouth. Everyone who stood close to him reflexively ran away. Zheyan even frantically raised Lilian quickly and ran a little away.

"AAAARRRGGGHHHHHH..." Shouted Marquis Gaustark feeling hot as his clothes burned with fire.

Everyone present reflexively ran over and doused Marquis Gaustark with the water at hand. After the fire was extinguished their attention returned towards Citto who was acting strangely.

GGGGGGRR...GGGGGGRR...

Citto's small legs began to turn bigger, his gray eyes turned red, his tail growing elongated. Everyone held their breath seeing the change from Citto, they couldn't even move their bodies even a moment from his position.

As Citto began to change little by little. Lilian thrashed in Zheyan's arms and ran towards Citto.

"DON'T LILIAN." Shouted Seint and Zheyan in panic.

Everyone stood up tremblingly looking at Lilian who was running and directly hugged Citto very tightly. "Calm down Citto... I'm here with you." Said Lilian while stroking the Citto fur plan.

Author deliberately makes this part rather long, because the Author feels the part that was previously too short.
