The trio chatted for some time. Niphilia was also going to attend the Academy. She told him a few things she knew and with Hilosura's help, he could picture out a few things.
They returned to their positions. Everyone was satisfied. The food and wine were very good that they wanted to continue feasting but time couldn't allow it.
In her seat, Hilosura looked at the blue haired man. He had walked up towards her, with the Empress beside her in her throne.
"Enorich Trizola, greets the Dragon Empress and Princess. May I guide the Princess to dance." He asked with a bow, his expectations were high. His deeds had been a hot topic throughout the Kingdom recently.
He managed to take down 3 Labyrinths. An impressive feat to be proud of given his realm of existence.
"You have made the Trizola Duke house proud." The Empress said in a calm voice. He was a genius among his peers.
This boosted Enorich's confidence even more.
"I will have to decline the offer, Enorich Trizola. I hope you understand." The Princess declined.
Though somehow expected, he felt frustration but quickly masked it with a smile. She was the woman he desired at all costs but he had to back down, for now.
Couples had taken up the stage. They danced in eachother's embrace, their pace slow and deliberate.
The Vampire Crown Prince, Dralot Sel Er, approached Niphilia Livarose. A small smile played on his face.
"Seems you will die single, Niphilia." He said standing before her.
"I don't have time for games now Vampire Prince." She said with a frown. His smiling face filled her with disgust. He had the audacity to approach her.
"Well it doesn't seem well to me, how about we have a dance together." Dralot said with a cocky grin.
"Sorry but I have a partner already. Am afraid you will have to find someone else, maybe the Dragon Princess, who knows."
She stood up, locked hands with the confused Anorax and took led him on stage.
Dralot looked at their departing figures with a smile but inside, he was boiling in rage.
That was his woman! Where did that bastard come from!!
He walked away. This was a great humiliation for him. How could she choose a nobody over him.
"Am sorry, Anorax, but I had to ignore that bastard. His race's nature disgusts me but he seems to gain please from it."
Princess Niphilia said in a whisper as they danced.
He nodded absentmindedly as he took in her feminine scent. He could help but feel bewitched.
"Your scent is good." He said unconsciously.
"Thank you, I guess." She said in surprise. Their bodies leaned in close to eachother.
Suddenly he spun her around. They moved in sync. Surprise etched on her face.
He held her slender waist tight as they posed. Her body moved flawlessly matching his. She was very flexible that he was left tongue tied.
The couples close couldn't help but admire the duo. The dance though new to them, was a sight to behold.
Niphilia noticed the admiration and curiosity tinged in their eyes. A small smile appeared on her lips.
Anorax, captivated by the softness of her body, moved around obvious to his environment.
Princess Hilosura, had her eyes on the two since the start.
"Since when were they this close." She couldn't believe they had just met today.
That damn Angel woman had a huge ego. She never let any man approach her. She regarded them as lower beings.
Tiamat glanced at her daughter who had a thoughtful expression.
"You can get a dancing partner you know." She said encouragingly.
She kept rejecting nobles and Princes. Tiamat felt bad for the poor souls but not that she cared though.
The silver and white haired duo concluded their dance. Cheers erupted.
Anorax had his purple eyes stare deeply in her silver ones. They faces were too close. Her heart skipped a beat. She had never been in such a position before.
They quickly composed themselves.
Most guests had already left. The Empress had left. She had other business to attend.
"That was impressive. I didn't know you knew how to dance." Niphilia said with a laugh.
"Well, it happened naturally. I can't believe we did it well." He said guininely.
The maids led them to their rooms in the castle. He was requested to remain. This was not Niphilia's first time here so it came as no surprise.
His room was big. It's interior was awe inspiring. There was a king sized bed. He jumped on it shutting his eyes.
'Medusa went to adjust to her new powers. She really had a significant evolution for sure.'
He took a shower. He decided to meditate though his body didn't need to.
☆☆☆
Niphilia was surprised as she didn't get much information about Anorax. Just home address and name.
'Interesting.'
She took a long shower. Warm water washed away all her stress and calmed her nerves.
After a bath, she wore a transparent white gown which left everything to imagination.
Knock Knock
She opened and was surprised to see Hilosura dressed up in a black nightgown.
"What are you doing here?" She asked curiously.
Hilosura entered as dropped on the bed. She couldn't help but approach her friend curiously.
"We will be leaving for the Academy with Anorax. Mother accepted to give him the jade."
Niphilia looked at the Dragon Princess in shock. It took her sometime to process her words.
"Why?" She couldn't help but ask.
"Well, he certainly holds many mysteries, you can call it investing. And have you ever seen a mortal use divine energy." Hilosura asked in amusement.
Niphilia pondered but couldn't think of anyone. He seemed more interestin-
"Don't!" Hilosura exclaimed.
"What?" She asked.
"Don't become curious here woman. It's not good for you trust me. You will drop in the abyss of no return."
Sigh.
"Okay then."
"Good. Where were we. That adds up to three of us. Also make sure those bastards don't tug along it might get messy on the way." Hilosura said seriously. Those damn Princes were to prideful which was sickening to her.
Niphilia giggled at her words. Some things never change, huh.
They discussed their travel plan.
The Empress sat on her bed. In her hands was a green coloured jade. It was very beautiful. She had given one to her daughter and she was planning to give it to Anorax.
She had observed him for sometime. She was no mortal thus she could see what others couldn't.
'The boy is a walking treasure. Though a heavily protected one. His soul is shrouded by a veil. Using divine energy as a mortal is seriously unheard of.'
She took a look at the vial her daughter gave her. The blood belonged to a Dragon God.
She knew how powerfull and terrifying such beings were because...
"Hehe.." She chuckled. The jade disappeared from her hands.
She approached the window. The sky hand already been covered by a thick blanket.
☆☆☆
Unknown Realm
A very beautiful woman hovered in the sky. She was very tall, a big long snake tail and very long black hair.
'My current power is several times far above my previous realm. The Primordial energy is really something. Its very pure and potent.'
"Now I can kill that damn lizard with a thought."
She disappeared in a flash leaving behind a devastated realm. These secret realms were too vast.
She destroyed nearly all of it. Its size nearly infinite.
Everything reverted back to its peak state.
Medusa was no more. Her business here was done.
