Chapter 54 - Meeting

AT THE SAME TIME...

"It's been too long, shouldn't he have come by now?"

All the elders were being impatient waiting for Rex but the princess tried to explain the situation when suddenly they saw red light from the guest room window which was shining brightly.

They tried to immediately inquire about it but the princess forbade from doing anything that could anger Rex since opposing him would be the last thing they would want as they were all testimony of Rex's power.

Also Rex himself had told not to disturb which if they weren't going to follow, they might have called upon a disaster upon themselves!

So all they could do was just wait for Rex to leave the chambers but right now Rex was asleep. He had to refill the mana which he had exhausted and that's why he wasn't able to get up and walk freely.

While sleeping he was subconsciously practising a method that would replenish his mana. But it would take hours together so Zormugand was guarding him as he was in some other territory who were once his enemies.

The time passed slowly but he wasn't awake yet. The Elven elders were being impatient as they wanted to discuss something that would be crucial for the future generation so they had to harden their hearts and think about it.

But Rex wasn't making his appearance due to which some were angry and others were frustrated.

"Let's do one thing, we will hold a meeting tomorrow and at that time we can ask master Rex to join us to discuss about this."

The princess told to everyone about this which was the wisest thing to do right now. All of them agreed and immediately departed towards their chambers.

At the same time some of the Elven citizens were waiting at the lower areas to look at the princess and Rex again.

If it wasn't for them they wouldn't have survived so they waited as much as they could to even get a small glance of both of them.

8 HOURS PASSED...

Soon it was morning around 6 AM when the elves marched to the hunting grounds to hunt.

Some offered their prayers to the trees and went to different places while the rest of them started their daily works.

Amidst this, there were a few Elven kids who were playing among themselves the exact same way as yesterday's battle.

While this all was happening, Rex had completed replenishing his mana completely and then stood upright and stretched his body since he has been in the same posture since long.

He immediately after stretching looked at Bandis who was still meditating and cultivating. Then he took a glance at Zormugand who was blinking eyes and staring at him.

"Haha, what happened Zor? You didn't sleep last night?"

Zormugand nodded his head while licking his legs and answered, "Yes Master, I haven't slept. But this is nothing for we dragons who can be sleepless for 1000s of years!"

Zormugand said this quite proudly upon which Rex burst into laughter.

"Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha!"

Zormugand was confused on seeing such a reaction. He asked, "Did I say something wrong Master?"

He wasn't sure as to why Rex was laughing in such a manner since he hadn't said something funny.

"Did I say something funny?"

Rex laughed again and said, "Haha, of course Zor! You are in the form of a tiny baby dragon! Did you forget that baby dragons sleep the most! Hahaha!"

"Huh? Oops... maybe I forgot..."

"Hahahaha! Look at your eyes, deep dark circles have appeared which clearly indicate that you are quite tried! The thousands of years that you spoke of only happens to adult dragons who have matured!"

They kept on chatting and teasing each other for quite sometime when finally Rex decided to take a look at the castle where he was staying.

"Okay Zor, I'll take a look outside, you stay here."

Zor was confused all of a sudden and immediately asked, "But Master, isn't it better if I be with you so that I can protect you?"

Rex smiled and pointed his finger towards Bandis.

"Look there, Bandis is working hard to cultivate his power. I don't want anyone to disturb him while he is doing that so guard him since he is the most vulnerable right now!"

Zormugand hesitated for a moment and then agreed to Rex. He went and sat near Bandis who was emitting a lot of mana outside.

"Okay then... see ya..."

Rex waved his hand and opened the door to be surprised by the greeting.

Many Elven maids were standing outside the chambers who bowed to him and greeted him.

"Good morning Master, we hope you had a wonderful sleep. Please this way..."

They showed the way for Rex to get freshed up by bathing and doing other stuffs. Immediately as he finished those, he was given a pair of clothes of Elven design to wear.

Ok fact he was told that they would show him the entire clothes room which he immediately denied.

He just asked to bring him a pair and he immediately wore them. He was looking dazzling in the red - white combination of the dress that was given.

"Master, this way."

The Elven maids further showed him the path to the dinning Room where he was served breakfast with the princess and the king.

Both of them stood up and greeted and him and he did the same too.

All of them sat down and started enjoying the wonderful breakfast. Rex liked it a lot, especially the Elven tea that was so famous.

While they were munching, the princess decided to speak on the topic at hand.

"Master Rex, there is something that we would like to discuss with you."

Rex stared at her for a second. The state felt as if a predator was watching its prey. The princess was indeed nervous to say anything else but Rex nodded his head and asked to tell.

"Well, it's an important topic and we are holding a meeting on that, so can you spare some time for it?"
