123 Tired Damian

Damian who was looking for the dragon kings decided to go to the mountains where he first met them.

After a few minutes of flying Damian reached the mountains but didn't saw any dragon there.

He transformed back to his human form and started looking around the mountains in hopes for finding the dragons he came to meet.

But even after looking around for half an hour he didn't find any traces of the dragons.

'Even Natsu is not nearby, if he was there he would have already caught onto my scent by now and would be rushing here.' thought Damian as he gave a sigh.

'Well can't be helped I will look for them at some other time....I need to go back soon.' thought Damian as he transformed once again and went back to his home.....of course he didn't forget to buy milk.

-------------------

Two months passed by since Damian and Irene found that she was pregnant and after packing up their stuff they returned back to Dragonof with Stella and the gryphons in tow.

And though the gryphons didn't like it one bit that Damian brought them to a place full with dragons and looked at him with a look of betrayal, they still decided to stay with Damian to the point that except for the time he was in the bathroom, meetings and spending alone time with Irene, they would not leave his side.

Damian and Irene decided that it was better to not tell about her being pregnant as it they were still facing a war against the dragons. Also the kingdom was not at its top security because of various things that occured and the other countries might try to take advantage of the queen's weakened state to attack as well along with the dragons. Damian did had a plan to solve all this and even presented it in the meeting it was immediately rejected by the others since according to them whipping the countries that were weaker than their from the map was something beneath Dragonof's pride.

Stella who was now the princess of a fallen country decided to become Damian's secretary which was a very difficult decision for him since there was a time that he served under her father so having her work under him made him have pretty complex feelings about it.

But still he decided to go with that so that he can protect her, as many nobles....'those' types of nobles had their eye on her, something which made Damian almost 'set an example' once again just like he did for Irene.

There was a lot of opposition to this since having the princess of some other country even though it was a fallen kingdom as the secretary to a person with high authority like Damian was very dangerous.....Irene too was opposing this, but had her own different intentions altogether.

During this time the wars on different battlefields all around the kingdom have turned quite fierce causing major losses for the kingdom and it didn't take much for most of the higher ups of the kingdom to know that their condition was quite dire. There was even a time during the meeting when Damian threw the documents on the table and out right said, "No need to sugarcoat it, just say that all of us are in deep shit." which though made a lot of ministers angry at him for openly mocking their kingdom but still couldn't deny what Damian said.

His work also increased quite a bit since he took over most of Irene's duties as well and only let her do things which were absolutely necessary to be looked after by the queen. All this coupled with going to battlefield on a daily basis along with keeping a check on the over powered enemy that destroyed Adroelia since they haven't told about that to the others since they were not sure how this revelation will affect the kingdom.... anyways back to the topic, Damian who was literally sleep deprived that he had dark circles below his eyes made both Irene and Stella worry about him, heck the Gryphons started crying and making a ruckus that disturbed the whole castle when Damian all of a sudden collapsed on the floor while walking.

Because of all this Damian's thoughts about taking the ones who were important to him far away from the kingdom once the situation was stable or totally fu*ked became firmer.

But even after all these problems the thing that troubled Damian the most was the fact that the five dragon kings/queen along with their dragon slayers that Damian have been searching for quite a while were nowhere to be found.

This troubled Damian a lot since what caused that massive destruction at Adroelia was a dragon slayer unknown to them and the dragon slayers that he knew of that weren't made in Adroelia had disappeared as well which Damian found very suspicious.

'...Both these events are totally connected, I just don't know how.' thought Damian as he went through the papers.

"No.2, are you done?"

"What does this pile in front of me make you think No.3"

"No.5 wake No.4 up."

"Don't speak so loudly my head hurts." said Damian as he looked at the other four Damians in the room.

Since his work increased way too much Damian has been using clones from Echo Echo, but since they still cost him magic power he didn't use more than 5 clones at a time for his paperwork and all.

'Even after five of me work together, I still have dark circles....I don't even wana think how I will look if I worked alone.' thought Damian as he gave a tired sigh.

""""Don't slack of original."""" said the other four Damian's simultaneously making Damian shot a glare at his clones who just looked back at him with their dead and tired eyes.

'...I am feeling pity seeing my own clones...' thought Damian.

'...Should I just destroy this country on my own...no country means no paperwork....and no paperwork mean no more troubles...' thought Damian.

The other four looked at the original and thought, 'He went dark once again.' and just ignored him since they were now accustomed to have those types of dark thoughts from time to time.

'...An Etherion should suffice.' thought Damian as a huge magic circle appeared on the floor.

Just as Damian did that the other four threw some things at him and said simultaneously, """"Just do you fu*king work!!"""" in a cold tone.
