Meeting Zuma

Irene opened the door and a masked man she met a few days ago came into view. Seeing him Irene's face brightened and was about to hug him but Damian grabbed her head and stopped her.

Seeing that Irene was confused but the Damian whispered, "Control yourself for a bit there are a few eyes following me, right now."

Irene who heard that immediately calmed down and searched the castle for the people who were spying on him and saw many of them bear him prepared to attack.

Damian immediately said, "Red hair... Ah, you must be the queen of Dragonof, Lady Irene, right? Sorry about my rudeness. You came suddenly in my sight that I reflexively stopped you." and moved his hand from her head seeing which the 'eyes' kept their weapons down.

Irene who was now in her queen mode said, "You must be the one that Belserion told me about, sorry about suddenly appearing in front of you. Well then, I heard there was something you wanted to discuss, Mr. Ian."

Damian nodded and said, "Yes, but are you currently free, if not, I can visit you later."

Irene then motioned him to enter the room and said, "Not at all, please come inside."

Damian nodded and went inside the room and Irene closed the door behind and placed a locking and silencing enchantment around the room.

After that she immediately jumped on Damian who caught her without any problem.

"Damian, I really missed you."

Damian chuckled and said, "But we met each other not even a week ago, my self sacrificing queen."

Hearing that Irene remembered what Belserion told her and immediately informed Damian about it.

Damian who heard that was completely shocked and took off his mask and glared at Belserion.

"Belserion are you plotting behind my back? Do you really want to be the main dish on the day of my wedding?"

Hearing that Belserion immediately took a step back and said, "STOP STOP STOP!!!!! I WAS JUST MESSING WITH HER A BIT!!! I JUST WANTED TO GET BACK AT HER FOR TAKING SUCH A DECISION WITHOUT DISCUSSING WITH ME!!!! THERE IS NO WAY THAT I WILL BE AGAINST THIS!!! IN FACT I SUPPORT BOTH OF YOU BEING TOGETHER!!! PLEASE DON'T USE ME AS FOOD AND EVEN IF YOU ARE GOING TO PLEASE DONT START CUTTING ME FROM MY ASS!!!!!"

Damian remained silent and stared at the Dragon who was looking serious as well but still signs of uncertainty were there on his face.

Damian then sighed and said, "Fine, I believe in you, but remember that your ass and my sword will be talking to eachother if I found that you turned your back against us."

Belserion sighed and said, "Don't worry, I care about Irene's happiness a lot. There is no way that I will come in between it. Anyways, PLEASE STOP HER, SHE IS GOING TO KILL ALL THE WOMEN OF THE KINGDOM!!!"

Hearing that Damian looked at Irene and saw a sword in her hand, which she immediately his behind her. Damian just shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, if she wants to then I will not stop her, but just remember that Irene if there will be no women left, it will be only upto you and me to increase the population of the kingdom."

The whole room went silent but soon a sound of metal crashing onto the floor was heard.

Irene remained silent for a while as various scenarios ran through her head, which were quite a lot since she was doing Zena's crash course, but soon she dropped the sword and hid her face behind her hands and started mumbling, "PopulationmeaningbabieswithDamianandthattooforthewholekimgdomhowmucjdowehavetodosothatthewholekimgdom'spopulationcanbecontrolled."

Seeing that both Belserion and Damian looked at eachother and shrugged their shoulders.

And just like that the lives of all the women in Dragonof was saved without others knowing about this threat.

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

After talking with eachother for a while Damian took his leave from Irene's room and let her finish her work.

He then walked around the castle making a mental map of his surroundings.

He then entered a garden where he saw dragons interacting with humans.

He looked around the room and then noticed the dragon who tried to attack him earlier.

He walked close to the dragon who on noticing someone coming towards him turned his head and immediately growled on seeing the masked Human.

Damian waved his hand said, "Yo, how have you been."

The dragon growled and showed his fangs and said, "What do you want masked bastard."

Damian just placed his hand on his chest and said, "Don't be like that you will hurt my fragile heart."

The dragon just have him a deadpan look seeing which Damian stood straight and moved his hand forward and said, "Anyways, I guess it is a bit late but still, I am Ian mage head of Adroelia. Nice to meet you."

The dragon just moved his claw forward and placed it over Damian's hand and said, "Zuma, not very happy to meet you."

Damian just have an awkward laugh and said, "Leaving that, are you fine or do you still feel pain where I hit you?"

The dragon just snorted and said, "Who do you think I am. A dragon will never get hurt by the attack of some huma- *girly scream* AHH! IT HURTS!!!!"

Damian just smacked the spot with a bit of strength which resulted in the scream.

"Yeah, totally fine, and that was the manliest scream I ever heard."

The dragon just glared at Damian who just shrugged his shoulders and said, "Lower your head a little and let me see."

The dragon just looked away and said, "I will not lower my head in front of you."

Damian just sighed and said, "If you remain like that you will die an early death." and jumped on Zuma's head.

Damian then said, "Now this is fine right, you didn't lower your head I am just on top of you."

"Hey who do yo- huh, are you healing me?"

Damian just shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows."

Zuma snorted and said, "Don't expect that I will thank you, I didn't ask you to do it."

Damian just chuckled and said, "You are welcome. Anyway what is this place, I believe that we are still in the castle but I can see that a lot of commoners are here as well?"

Zuma then said, "Yeah, we are still in the castle but this place is open for all so that humans and dragons could interact with eachother. It was queen Irene's idea to help with the coexistence of Dragons and humans."

Damian nodded and said, "Looks like it worked really well."

Zuma nodded and said, "Yeah, I didn't believed it at first but somehow it worked really well, I too enjoy this a lot."

Damian just nodded and after enhancing his regeneration for a while he removed his hand and said, "All done now I can hit you again if you do something bad without bothering to injure you severely."

Hearing that Zuma growled and said, "Like hell I would let you do that."

Damian just caressed Zuma's head and said, Oh, you won't be able to stop me if I start to attack you."

Zuma and Damian then started to argue for a while but stopped once they noticed someone calling them.

"Umm... Mister...."

Damian and Zuma stopped and saw a small girl looking at the two of them.

Damian jumped down from Zuma's head and asked, "You want to ask something little lady?"

The small girl with black hair placed her hand over each other in front of her chest and after some hesitation nodded her head.

Damian just patted her head and said, "Don't feel afraid of me, I am a good guy. So what is it that you want to ask?"

The girl then said, "Just now you healed Zuma-san, right?"

Damian just nodded and said, "Yeah."

The girl then said, "Then can you heal old man Maka?"

Damian tilted his head and asked, "Old man Maka?"

The girl nodded her head and then pulled Damian and started walking.

Zuma who was watching the two stood up and started following the two. He was also curious whether Damian could cure the Old man or not.

The girl who was dragging Damian stopped and said, "Can you Heal him?"

Damian then looked around to look for the old man but only saw a dragon surrounded by people who by no means looked old.

Damian looked at the girl and asked, "Where is the old man Maka you talked about?"

Suddenly the dragon moved its head and said, "That would be me."
