Chapter 6: The Balaur Clan

In a mystical realm, there stands a grand castle made of shimmering gold and silver, adorned with rare and exquisite crystals. This ethereal fortress serves as a sanctuary for majestic dragons, celestial beings of immense power. Within its walls, ancient wisdom fills the air, accompanied by a transcendent energy, offering a home for these enlightened creatures who possess great strength and wisdom. As one enters this enchanting abode, they witness awe-inspiring dragons gracefully soaring through vast chambers, their scales reflecting a mesmerizing array of colors.

The castle's corridors echo with whispers of untold secrets and tales of legendary achievements, while its grand halls serve as a gathering place for the dragons to share their wisdom and shape the destinies of realms beyond mortal comprehension. The realm harmonizes magic with the very fabric of existence, where the boundless power of dragons blends with the magnificence of precious metals and rare crystals. The resulting spectacle captivates all who dare to venture within.

Meanwhile, a young woman awakens in one of the expansive chambers of the dragon castle. The room is remarkably beautiful, with an aesthetic that is both exquisite and otherworldly, captivating the senses. At the center of the chamber lies an oversized bed, serving as the focal point of the space.

The woman, with long disheveled white hair, reclines on the bed, her eyes peacefully closed as she breathes softly. Gradually, she opens her eyes, revealing a pair of vivid blue eyes that shimmer like precious gemstones.

She takes a seat on the bed, her hair cascading over her shoulder, and closes her eyes again, attempting to sense something. Her heart races, and she clenches her fist tightly, feeling a surge of adrenaline coursing through her veins.

Eventually, she opens her eyes, and they glisten with moisture. "You've arrived at last," she whispers softly.

"Maria," she calls out.

The door swings open, revealing a woman dressed in a maid's uniform, her brown hair neatly kept and her black eyes attentive. Concern fills her countenance as she notices the unusual expression on the woman with white hair.

"Is everything alright?" she asks with worry in her voice.

"I have never been happier than I am right now," the woman with white hair responds, wiping away tears from her face.

"Please summon my mother," she instructs her maid.

"Unfortunately, your mother is currently engaged in a meeting with the Viridis Clan of the High Elves. She explicitly requested not to be disturbed during their discussion," the maid explains, speaking with an air of authority rather than as a servant addressing her mistress. This demonstrates the close relationship between the woman with white hair and her maid.

The woman with white hair shakes her head slightly before speaking again, "Simply inform her that her son, who is also my brother, has arrived in the mortal plane. Regardless of any pressing matters she may have, she will drop everything and rush to my side."

"Excuse me?, but are you referring to our young master? Has he actually arrived in the mortal realm?... I should relay this information to the mistress right away."

The maid hurriedly dashed outside, her face beaming with excitement and joy. Close behind, the white-haired lady followed at a leisurely pace, almost as if she were jogging.

They soon arrived at a pavilion where people were elegantly dressed, seated in chairs arranged in a circular fashion. At the center of the pavilion, a mature woman with white hair and golden eyes sat at the head of the chairs. She wore a red yukata adorned with golden dragons printed on it.

As Maria and her daughter approached, the mother couldn't help but notice them, and a slight frown appeared on her face.

"Well, it seems my explicit request for privacy has been conveniently overlooked. How thoughtful of my dear daughter to create a delightful spectacle," she remarked, infused with a hint of sarcasm.

The round table was filled with various individuals, including high elves. They observed the maid and the dragon queen's daughter as they approached, seemingly intending to interrupt their gathering. However, the high elves maintained a calm demeanor, displaying no signs of displeasure on their faces.

Before the maid, Maria, had the opportunity to speak, a woman with white hair hurriedly approached her mother. "Mom," she exclaimed loudly, her voice filled with excitement. "He has arrived. He is finally here."

The mother, however, struggled to grasp the meaning of her daughter's words. Nevertheless, after some time, she too began to feel something peculiar—a sensation that only those with a shared lineage could comprehend. Her eyes widened, and tears trickled down her pristine chin.

The high elves and distinguished dragons from noble clans observed the scene before them with great confusion.

"My queen, I can sense your unease. Please enlighten me on what troubles you, and I shall endeavor to rectify it," spoke one of the esteemed dragon generals of the kingdom. He respectfully bowed, eagerly awaiting his queen's command.

"Please, General, there is no need to worry. I am simply feeling an overwhelming sense of joy," the queen stated, gently wiping away her tears. She turned her gaze towards her daughter, who wore a similar expression.

"Your Majesty, if I may inquire humbly, what has brought about this great happiness?" The patriarch of the Viridis clan respectfully asked.

"My Son has returned."

This statement struck their ears like a bolt of lightning, for the one who had been blessed by the gods had finally made his presence known.

He held the esteemed position of being the successor to the throne of the Dragons, specifically as the heir to the Balaur clan, which was renowned as the most influential dragon clan.

The Balaur clan was particularly favored by the Ouroboros Dragon, the dragon associated with infinite power.

The significance of this individual's inheritance extended beyond just the Kingdom of Dragons, impacting the entire Celestial plane in a transformative manner.

News has emerged regarding the emergence of the heir to the Balaur clan, attracting attention from individuals with both positive and negative intentions.

Apart from those seeking to support and guide him, there are others who are driven by ulterior motives and wish to exert control over him. The heir is likely to encounter numerous challenges and obstacles along his journey, as various individuals with ill intentions make their presence known.
