Protector of the World Tree

I suddenly woke up hearing someone calling me. "My child, its time to wake up." I slowly stood up and watched the place surrounding me. I looked behind my back and saw an enormous tree, as if we were one. "My child." Suddenly, creatures coming from different directions appear in front of me, forming a crescent-moon shape. One by one they bowed and flower petals fell from the sky. "Welcome home, my child."

Rathian Kingdom

Rai's POV

I entered Rathian Kingdom, a thriving town home to dwarfs, elves, and other species. One of the earliest monarchs on the continent is King Goren Artin Rathian, the second ruler of the kingdom of Rathian. He stayed behind to keep the next generation safe from the Dark continent. Especially considering that the heiress, his only child, is a half-human.

The majority of Elves opposed this notion, and several aristocratic Elves brought their daughters to the palace in anticipation of an opportunity to usurp the Queen's Seat. The wisp informed me about the Queen's attempted assassination and the conflicts between the king's group and the nobility appear to be spiralling out of control.

After learning that this world was home to the King of Dragons. Things will grow difficult even with the Crown Prince's protection, since the young dragon is starting to identify the Crown Prince as his mother. However, because the first dragon did not oppose Xaithus' ceremonial, I am not very concerned about the young dragon usurping it and becoming the dragon king.

Sending this to Daisy the Dryad is crucial right now, since she will aid in the kingdom's restoration by destroying the nobleman's group. I felt something that smelled like flowers, and I stopped in my tracks. Grinning, I followed the aroma. The scent got stronger the more I travelled outside the city.

I was being led by a scent into a dense jungle where everything was shining. The trees and plants there, as well as the local wildlife, were all sparkling. I noticed a woman touching the leaves as I made my way over to the aroma.

"*Sigh* Even though it has been a while since we last spoke, you are still the same Dryad that my ancestor discovered in the dense forest." I said, and she looked in my direction. She fell on one knee and placed her right hand on her left shoulder.

"I greet the Lord." She spoke.

"Stand up, Phrixa."

"Yes." The oldest and longest Dryad on the continent is Phrixa. Given her superior knowledge and her status as the first Dryad that was acknowledged by Alexio, she holds the position of leader among the Dryads.

"How have you been these days?" I asked.

"Everything's fine, my lord, not until I heard you destroy half of the elves' forest within a day." A fake cough was coming out of my mouth, trying not to look in her direction.

"But that was all in the past, and living things grew little by little," she added.

"Then that's great," I said while looking away.

"I almost forgot." I reached for something out of my bag and gave it to her.

"Is this the dragon's tears, my Lord?" She asked, and I nodded.

"This is a one-time usage only. Regardless of how well the plan works out, you need to be ready for any unanticipated outcomes."

"Thank you, my lord," she said.

"Now go."

"Yes." She vanished and minutes later, all the creatures living inside the deep forest growled.

"I think my mission here is done." While putting the seed on the ground, I spoke. After a few minutes, everything was dazzlingly bright, endowing all the trees and flowers with a strength that would allow them to last for almost a millennium without fading or dying. And this location will stay undiscovered. This holy location will go unnoticed by the dwarves and elves.

"I should go now," I said, and then teleported. And it was all black when I opened my eyes. When I followed a light that caught my attention, I encountered a bustling town. The human faces welcomed me with happiness and gladness. But the question is....

"Where am I?" I wandered my eyes to look for a sign or a flag.

'Neighhhh!!!!!' When the people noticed a carriage moving quickly, they all stopped what they were doing and cleared a path.

"Out of the way!" The man in charge of the carriage screamed, trying to calm the horses down from their crazy antics. The carriage nearly struck a few individuals, who sreamed in terror.

"After them!" I saw three men riding a horse while they were trying to chase the carriage.

"But they looked so familiar." Where did I see them?

"Your highness!! Please wait!!" Another man came in, also riding his horse.

"Your Grace!!" Another one.

"Young master!!" and another one. Then hundreds of knights wearing three different uniforms also came rushing onto the streets.

'Kkkkyyyaaahhhhh!!!' I flinched when I heard all the young girls scream.

'It's the Crown Prince Lucas!'

'Also, the young Duke Zain!"

'And the young master, Killian!'

'Kkkkkyyyyaaahhhh!"

Are we in a drama or something? These humans are so.....

"*Sigh* I should look for a place to stay," I said and walked in a direction that I didn't even recognize.

'They sent the man riding the carriage into prison within a minute.'

'As expected of the Crown Prince.'

'And also, the young Duke and young master.'

'Exactly. They are our kingdom's pride.'

After strolling for a few minutes, the talks about the three lords apprehending the thief spread widely. Additionally, I located a spot to spend the night. But the problem is.....

"I greet the Lord," Killian said as he kneeled in front of me.

"H-how did you know I was here?" I asked.

"When I was riding the horse while chasing the thief, I sensed your aura nearby. So, I thought you were visiting the human world," he said in a respectful tone.

"T-then do the Crown Prince and the young Duke know that you're here?" He shakes his head.

"I didn't dare to break our promise," he said.

"Then that's good; that's good," I said with a reassuring face. We stayed silent for a while, and it became awkward.

After he discovered that I was lodging at an inn they owned, he turned my room into a VVIP suite right away. And he's kneeling in my room right now as I'm seated in a nice chair.

"You may rise," I said while clearing my throat.

"Yes." He stood up, but his hands were placed behind his back.

"So, are we?"

"This is the Drypho town, found in the north part of the Lustina Kingdom." I see.... I looked back at him with a confused look.

"Where?"
