Chapter 15-Miss red dragon part 2
The day before.
After dinner, the Venhorst family said goodbye. John went to bed early, wanting to explore the area by visiting Novo Redondo. Fernando and Catarina also went to bed, but unlike John, who slept in his room with a smile on his face, the couple were having a warm conversation, switching between various topics.
Catarina was lying snuggled against Fernando's broad, masculine chest. Catarina looked at Fernando and said in a soft voice.
—Honey, tomorrow? Will John visit Novo Redondo alone?
Fernando kissed Catarina on the forehead and spoke with a smile on his face.
—Don't worry, I'll send Ceto to protect them in secret.
Catarina's body relaxed, Fernando grabbed Catarina's slender body, turned around and looked down, when the couple looked into each other's eyes, they could see the desire in each other, the couple's fire was lit, their lips were pressed against each other, their tongues danced even without music, but when the subject was about to rise to a new level suddenly Fernando stopped, what was he doing.
—What happened? Why did you stop?
Catarina asked disgruntled, Fernando got up wearing only pants he disappeared, but before he left some words behind through sonar, Catarina became equally serious, she used magic and a robe covered her beautiful figure, word that Fernando left was.
—Someone broke into the castle and is heading towards Junior's room.
Venhorst Castle was covered in arrays and magic circles, making it impossible to escape detection even within a thousand meters. The arrays in the castle included a heat detector, a motion detector, an element detector, and a spiritual energy fluctuation detector, making it difficult for someone at the Higher Realm level to enter.
Since someone managed to infiltrate Venhorst Castle without alarming anyone so far, there were only three possible explanations. First, it was someone who had reached Legendary status. Second, it was someone who was a master of arrays and magic circles. Third, it was someone who had perfect control over Venhorst Castle's arrays and magic circles.
***
A yellow light shone and Fernando appeared in the hallway that led to John's room. A hooded figure was trying to open the door to John's room. At the same moment Fernando appeared and saw the figure, he reached out and closed his hand into a fist.
—Graviton.
As soon as the hand closed into a fist, space distorted and gravity changed from 9.8 Niltons per kilogram to 16.11 Niltons per kilogram. The figure was almost instantly drawn into Fernando's closed fist; gravity only affected the hooded figure.
In the meantime, a sword appeared in Fernando's hand, he intended to strike using all his strength, while the hooded figure was attracted by the pregnant woman, she extended her hand and a sword appeared, she made a vertical cut and a yellow light forming a sword beam flew towards Fernando.
—Graviton.
Gravity doubled, and a gravitational wave crashed into the yellow light. Fernando unclenched his grip and sheathed his sword. All this happened in a single second. Fernando halted his attack because he recognized the sword in the hooded figure's hand. But that wasn't enough. He only stopped because he sensed the hooded figure's familiar aura.
Catarina appeared in the next second, she reached out and her staff appeared, the water elements gathered in the gem of the staff, without chanting an incantation, she cast a spell on the hooded figure.
—Ice prison.
A torrent of ice headed towards the hooded figure.
—Graviton
Fernando waved his hand, and a gravitational sphere appeared and sucked in the ice torrent. The sphere's gravity was so strong that it crushed the ice torrent, reducing it to nothing. Catarina looked at Fernando in confusion; she didn't understand why Fernando was protecting the intruder.
The exchange of just three seconds didn't alert anyone in Venhorst Castle, because the hooded figure activated a magic circle that isolated the entire corridor and the walls of Venhorst Castle had the ability to absorb residual waves from the attacks.
—Felicia?
Fernando asked, the hooded figure lowered his hood revealing a young and beautiful face, Catarina was stunned, she was also familiar with the woman before them.
—Brother, sister-in-law, I'm back.
Felicia spoke with a warm smile on her face, a vein appeared on Fernando's forehead, dissatisfied he asked.
—Sister, what are you doing here?
With the smile still on her face, Felícia spoke as she walked towards Fernando, she gave him a hug.
—Brother, I heard I'm an aunt now, so I came to see my dear nephew.
Fernando made a face like someone who had been abandoned by the goddess, he could already see the disasters that this woman would cause in their lives, Fernando was crying inside that his days as parents were over.
"Why did you sneak into the castle? And why were you breaking into our son's room?"
Catarina asked sullenly, she wasn't mad because a woman who rivaled her in terms of beauty was hugging her husband bare-chested, she wanted to know why an aunt sneaks into her nephew's room in the middle of the night.
—Why would I tell you? As far as I know, this castle belongs to me.
Felícia spoke while pouting, the vein on Fernando's forehead was flashing to the point of popping out, before Catarina had any chance to retaliate, Fernando broke away from the hug and growled.
—Your castle? Since when? Who sold me the same castle for the third time? Yum, yum. Now you come here and say my castle.
Felicia would be completely serious, she retorted.
—As far as I remember, I didn't sell anything, you just rented the castle, you didn't buy it from me.
Catarina's mouth dropped open. Her sister-in-law was shameless and greedy. She wasn't there for the first purchase, but she witnessed the second and third, and yet Felícia still has the nerve to say it was a lease.
***
Now the three of them, Fernando, Catarina and Felícia were in the dining room, Fernando had already put on a shirt. Fernando asked.
—Why did you come here without even warning? What situation have you gotten yourself into this time?
Felicia replied as she yawned and stretched.
—I've said this before, I'm here for my nephew.
—And why didn't you tell us you were coming? Fernando asked.
—I wanted to make it a surprise, that's why I didn't let you know beforehand.
Fernando knew that there was something Felícia was hiding, she was his sister so he didn't want to go any further to find out the truth, she would tell him herself if there was something she didn't want to talk about at the moment.
—It's too late to sleep, we'll talk more calmly tomorrow.
Before everyone went to their rooms, Felicia asked.
—Brother, are you still mad at me? I mean, it's been so long.
Fernando's face didn't change, he just said.
—Let's go to sleep.
—Brother, if you still want revenge, I will help you.
Fernando interrupted her saying.
—That's enough. That's enough, Catarina, let's go.
—Sister, have a good night.
After that Fernando and Catarina left leaving only Felícia in the room. She sighed and chose a random guest room in the castle and went to sleep.
***
On the morning of this day.
Fernando and Catarina were in the dining room having breakfast, a maid served the rich meal, bread with milk and cheese, fruit was on the table.
—The junior?
Fernando asked the maid, in the castle everyone had already gotten used to the way Fernando addressed John, in the whole castle he was the only one who used his real name.
—The young lord just left with Alex.
The maid replied respectfully, Fernando nodded, he expanded his sonar covering an area of a thousand kilometers, he saw John and Alex in a carriage, he retracted the sonar and called.
—Keto.
Footsteps sounded and an old man entered the room, he bowed and spoke respectfully.
—My lord, did you call me?
Fernando nodded and said.
—Ceto, John and Alex are going to the city of Novo Redondo. I want you to protect them in secret.
keto bowed and was about to leave when a voice stopped him.
—Wait.
The speaker approached, and her figure was revealed. A beautiful woman, with full pink lips, a sharp nose, sparkling dark eyes, and black hair tied in a ponytail. A slender and fiery figure, she was dressed in a way that would attract any man's gaze: knee-high red boots, leather pants that emphasized her curves. The pants seemed to be clinging to her body, and her upper body was covered in a tight shirt over a piece of armor that protected her chest and heart.
Ceto looked at Felícia and a surprise passed over his old face, he let out a title.
—Miss red dragon.
Felicia took one look at Ceto and walked over to the table, grabbed a cheese bun and took a bite, with her mouth full she said.
-Good morning.
Everyone responded in unison, no one present was bothered by the rude manners at the table, Felicia looked at Ceto and said.
—Old man, are you still alive?
Ceto replied with an air of age.
—Miss, this bag of bones still craves more battles.
—You can go now, though.
Fernando spoke, Ceto was once again about to leave when Felícia spoke.
-I go.
All pairs of eyes turned to stare at the same person. Fernando spoke to break the silence.
—No, you definitely can't go.
—Why? Felicia asked.
—I don't want disaster to befall my son now that you've offered.
Fernando wasn't joking. This woman's bad luck was legendary. She was as greedy as a dragon, and her bad luck was even more incredible. In her hands, even something with a 1% chance of going wrong would go against the odds and ruin everything. Once, she volunteered to protect a prince from a neighboring kingdom. She ate too much while leaving for a bathroom break. When she returned to her post, she found only a corpse. This event nearly caused a war between the two kingdoms.
—I'm stronger than that old man. I'll do a better job.
—I just want to see what my nephew will do when no one is watching.
Felicia made all kinds of excuses, she talked so much that Fernando was getting dizzy from listening so much, he gave in after two minutes, John and Alex were almost out of range of Fernando's sonar.
—Okay, you can go, but listen carefully, if he comes back and a hair is missing.
A crushing pressure pressed against Felicia as Fernando spoke.
—I'm going to forget you're my sister.
—Okay, I'll bring it in one piece.
Before Fernando could change his mind, Felícia's figure disappeared from the room. Fernando was still suspicious, hoping nothing bad could happen. Catarina, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke.
—Will John be okay?
Fernando nodded, but in his heart he hoped that his son would not be struck by the bad luck of the aunt he had not yet met.
***
Felicia was flying, following a carriage below. It was flying so slowly that she preferred to walk. It took two hours for the carriage to reach Novo Redondo City. It would only take a few minutes if she flew in her flying ark. She entered the city with Alex and John. She thought John was a wasteful spender. How would anyone pay to enter their own city? Felicia doesn't even accept paying in other cities, let alone her own?
***
Felicia spent the whole day following John and Alex around. She was regretting coming because her nephew was always looking around and running around the square. When Felicia volunteered, she thought it would be fun to see John abuse his power as a young lord. She wanted to see John chasing girls or something a young lord should do at his age. She forgot that John was still just a seven-year-old.
Her nephew looked like a peasant coming to the city for the first time, Felicia throughout the day she almost revealed herself all the time, she was very bored, she wanted the day to end soon.
The moment Iza knocked John down and stole his bag, Felicia was getting excited that something good would finally happen, but she felt something strange in her storage ring, she raised her hand and a ruby the size of a baseball appeared in her hands, the ruby flashed with a white and sacred light.
Felicia had a bad premonition, he sent a thread of his sonar into John's body, the sonar thread turned into a mark, which she could use to locate and feel John's presence at any time, the mark was undetectable to anyone other than a superior being, John did not notice the mark.
—This boy is so annoying that nothing will happen if I leave for a while.
Felicia muttered to herself, flying at high speed, and within a minute or two, she was back outside the city. The ruby in Felicia's hand flew and shattered, the fragments emitting lights that interconnected to form a teleportation matrix.
Three figures emerged from the Matrix. The three were all men of the human race. One was wearing sacred white robes, the other wore a black cloak that covered his entire body, he had a somber air, and the third man was dressed in a green hooded cloak.
They were all priests, the man in white was a Protestant priest of the Church of the Goddess, the man dressed in a black robe was a priest of the Church of Darkness and the third man was a Druid priest of the Druid Church.
For three priests from different churches and under different gods to be together and not fighting against each other, this was a rare occasion, only a strong reason could unite these people.
The three looked around to determine their position, what they saw shocked them, they crossed half a kingdom, they were in the south but now they are in the north, it was no wonder that the teleportation array had consumed so many cores to be serviced.
—Where are we? the druid asked.
"We're in the north, in the Venhorst territory," the white priest replied.
—That will be a problem! Exclaimed the black priest
—Miss red dragon, you are very cunning, white priest spoke with a frown on his face.
"Miss Red Dragon, how about you give back what everyone rightfully deserves, so we can avoid something completely unpleasant." The druid said with a mischievous smile on his face.
—I refuse, everything I took belongs to me and me alone, I refuse to share the fruits of my labors. Felicia spoke with a serious look.
—Miss red dragon, you should think carefully. The white shepherd spoke.
—I've already made my decision, I won't give in on this matter.
—Then there is no alternative but to fight. The black priest spoke with murderous intent.
The air became heavy, the atmosphere was tense, everyone was serious, the white priest weighed the pros and cons, sighed and said.
—We are in Venhorst territory, if we start a fight here Fernando will certainly turn, if Miss Red Dragon and Fernando join hands it will be our end.
The druid asked.
"So what should we do? I'm not willing to let the treasures be taken by that wicked woman."
Felicia was radiant, but she didn't show her joy; on the surface, she had the same impassive expression on her face. Of the three, the white priest and the druid were average peak beings, and the black priest was the only higher being among them. Felicia was also a higher being.
The evolution system begins with an individual evolving from someone normal, a mere mortal, to a primary being. This realm contains 7 levels. After reaching the peak of the primary realm, the individual can evolve into a base being. The base realm contains 3 levels. When someone reaches the peak of the pass realm, they can evolve into an average being. The middle realm contains 3 levels. After the fear realm comes the superior realm.
*Primary Being lv 1/7
*Base being lv 1/3
*Being Medium level 1/3
*Superior being level 1/5
The realms of evolution above the superior are secrets kept by the strongest beings in each realm, most call them legendary realms.
Continued...
I was going to write the battle in this chapter, but I think it would be a bit too long, so I thought it best to leave it for the next one.
In the next chapter it will be explained why the three priests are after Miss Red Dragon.
I left the evolution levels there, so that readers would be one step ahead of John, but the evolution requirements and the differences between the evolution kingdoms and everything else, some things the readers discovered before John, other mechanics the readers and John would discover together.
Please leave your comment, it is very important.
Thank you very much to those who read.
