CHAPTER 227: MEETING THE ELDERS

“Elders, I present to you my bride. Her name is Naoko. Please give her your blessings.”

“It’s a great honor to meet you. I am Maeda Naoko. As a mere human, I never thought that I would get to meet dragons as majestic as you.”

Best to make a good impression. I can’t afford to offend so many dragons all at once. Especially not those that can probably move the entire race to retaliate against me if they wanted to do so.

“How small and polite. I am Lusha, Fulgy’s grandmother. Welcome to the family, small Naoko. Our little Fulgy is a bit unruly and wild, but overall he is a good dragon.”

The one that spoke was a smaller gray dragon. Honestly speaking, this was all feeling unreal to me so I had no idea how to react. Let’s just leave it all to Fulgy and not speak too much.

“Grandmother, there is no need to be polite, she is already family. I brought her here to introduce her to you all and to ask for your help.”

“In that case, I won’t be polite. Naoko-bride, how did the two of you meet?”

Oh-oh, I am being questioned by the family. Let’s make sure the answers are simple and just like I was warned, I will not tell a lie.

“He was the one that found me. For a reason I was bound to a certain area, so he came to me first.”

“When do you plan on having kids? This old lady doesn’t want to wait too long to hold her great-grandchildren.”

Wh…what? From how we met to having kids? I can’t keep up with her. Aren’t they embarrassed to ask such questions all of a sudden? I am already busy avoiding a marriage, I don’t need any more concerns. I was about to give an answer when another dragon spoke up.

“That is not important. How many do you plan on having?”

“Are the two of you already trying?”

Heavens, how can they ask this in public? My face turned completely red as I avoided the gazes of everyone present and hid behind Fulgy. I don’t think I can handle this obstacle. I just want to disappear from here. I must say I would be more comfortable having to fight all of them together than deal with such questioning.

“Elders, there is still plenty of time. Don’t scare my Naoko, she is still very young.”

“Tsk, you need to be more active, Fulgy, you see, when your grandfather was your age he already had your mother.”

“This and that are different. Anyways, do you know what this ring is and how to unlock its blessings? Naoko came across it and said that she needs to have blessings of Fair Folk among which dragons were also included. I was clueless so I wanted to ask the Elders about it.”

As soon as he said that I presented them with the Fair Folk’s Ring. The main question that I had about it is the Fairy Fountains and fairies in general since I have not read anywhere about them. I didn’t think they existed in the first place.

“Oh this thing… have no idea what it is. I didn’t even know that dragons were part of the Fair Folk.”

“Lusha-sama, do you know about Fairy Fountains? It is supposed to be the sacred land of all dragons, elves and fairies.”

“No, never heard of it. If my grandfather were here, he might have known something more, but ever since he left more than a century ago he hasn’t come back. If you find him tell him that I sent you and that he must help you out. If you mention my name he will do it. He always spoiled me.”

That is disappointing. Well at the very least there is still some hope. If I can find this dragon that Lusha-sama mentioned, maybe he will know how to unlock the blessings. But, how am I supposed to find someone I don’t know and never saw before? I think I should entrust this task to Fulgy, he should be better at doing that than me.

“Grandmother, do you know where he went? I don’t think it will be easy to find him just flying around. Or at least do you know of any places that he likes?”

“Who knows, he never told us anything and would just take off from time to time. If he comes back, I will make sure to tell someone to send a message to you. You can always come here and ask him. If he doesn’t come back and you happen to come across him first, do tell him to come back from time to time and that I miss him a lot.”

“Okay. Elders, I will be taking my Naoko back. I will come by once in a while to visit. Bye.”

Fulgy took my hand and dragged me out before I could even say thank you or good bye. So in the end I just waved my hand as farewell. Sadly this was an unfruitful visit, but at the very least I can say that I met the rulers of dragon race. This is something that others can’t brag about easily.

As soon as we left the Dragon Valley Fulgy changed into the dragon form and we flew back to Tiremia.

***LUSHA’S POV***

“I like her.”

“Lusha-sama, you said that fifteen times already.”

“Doesn’t matter, I like her.”

“Wifey, I completely agree with you. There is something about her that is really soothing. Our little Fulgy found a good match.”

“You understand me the most, dear. But shouldn’t we have told her about the Fairy Fountains? She seemed trustworthy.”

“Absolutely not. It is a secret we are bound to keep forever. I do not want to be the one to break the trust of our friends.”

“You’re right. Everyone, let’s feast tonight, our Fulgur finally has a bride. Let us hope they will give us great-grandchildren to hold soon. Considering how good looking the parents are, they will definitely bring out a glorious dragon for us.”
