CHAPTER 10

Early in the morning, the meeting hall of the Sphinx Kingdom's palace was already crowded with Ministers and nobles, and they devised a strategy to bring down Lady Gabby. Inside the meeting room, the Crown Prince joined the meeting this time.

"How about Your Majesty? Isn't this a good plan? This is our chance to take what belongs to the Kingdom." said Marquess Filarl with a sly smile.

Evan and David were silent at the plan Marquess Filarl proposed. In their opinion, it was very profitable for them to give a surprise attack on Lady Gabby's residence.

Evan was so furious to hear of Marquess Filarl's cunning plan he wanted to refute vehemently. But Evan saw that the King and Crown Prince were silent as if contemplating something. Evan hoped that the King would not accept Marquess Filarl's proposal.

"Are you sure? You think our kingdom is capable of fighting that girl's army?" The Crown Prince finally spoke up. "Your Majesty, I advise you not to go with the flow of their game. Just give the heads of those two to the girl." continued the Crown Prince turning to King Watson.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, this is our chance to obtain it. This is a golden opportunity!" Marquess Filarl did not accept the Crown Prince's proposal.

Brakkk…

"Who do you think you are? Just because you are a noble, you try to manipulate the King. You think the kingdom can bear the consequences of your greedy plans." said the Crown Prince, pounding the table. The Crown Prince was no longer concerned about the existence of the king.

"T-t-that's right. Why do we have to help those criminals?" Evan spoke even though Evan was a little scared of the situation in the room.

But Evan could still speak because the Crown Prince had the same thoughts as him. Evan didn't accept Marquess Filarl's proposal.

"I'd better get out, and I'm so sick of hanging out with disgusting, greedy people like you guys." The Crown Prince sneered at the nobles.

The nobles were just silent, and this was the first time they had seen him angry in five years outside the palace.

The Crown Prince exited the palace in a rage, making the people in the hall shudder. He was going to do considering that the Crown Prince from childhood was very firm and didn't need a noble faction to ascend the throne.

Those still gathered didn't accept the Crown Prince's suggestion that the kingdom gives the head of the Minister of Finance and Count Riel. They had to get rid of the Crown Prince first. They have to work hard.

When the kingdom is still busy with the meeting by the nobles, outside the palace was boisterous and ravaged, making those meetings out of the room. They were very surprised to see a dragon was raging in the palace courtyard. None of the soldiers dared to approach the dragon when they saw the dragon spit fire from its mouth.

"You disgusting bugs dare to offend my master. Remembering the kindness of my master, he handed over the king of this kingdom to give his butler who had offended him." The dragon started to stop its rampage and made a sound.

The people in the palace were shocked. Who? Who? who was alluded to? It made the king wonder. The king firmly believed that the kingdom had never offended anyone, especially people who had a dragon's contract animal.

"Where is your King? Show his face." The Dragon's retort echoed through the palace.

The people in the palace were scared to death. The soldiers who attacked the dragon with various elemental magics around the dragon were also sprayed with fire by the dragon making several soldiers melt.

The entire palace was so frightened that the king immediately fell to his knees, his trembling legs unable to contain his body when he heard the melting screams of the soldiers. Gustav, who had been watching from inside the room with Tiana, was very scared. Even Tiana had fainted.

Gustav finally got up the courage to come out and talk to the dragon. "I am the second prince of this kingdom, if I may I know who is your master and which servant dares to offend him." It was Gustav who ventured to ask the dragon not to go berserk.

"Tell your King. My queen, Lady Gabby wants you to take her butler and come to her palace in the middle of the forest of death; otherwise, I will burn this trash kingdom to the ground."

Instantly the people in the palace were very shocked. So the master of the dragon they alluded to was Lady Gabby. The king began to fear King Watson, who saw the nobles worry about the dragon's threat.

They were afraid, considering dragons were ancient extinct animals, and this time, they saw a blackish green dragon. There is even a book that explains that several hundred years ago, a dragon destroyed a Kingdom for harassing the dragon.

Finally, the dragon flapped its wings and left the kingdom, even though the dragon's presence had disappeared, but that didn't take away their shock.

The king finally shouted at the nobles to go back into the meeting room. The king was very frightened to see Lady Gabby's contract animal, and he took the wrong decision to follow the plot of Marquess Filarl's game. Meanwhile, Marquess Filarl had been silent all this time, and his face was very pale as if he had no blood.

---

Rumours also circulated among the nobles who were not present at the meeting in the palace and the people, making the people very worried because King Watson decided to raise the war flag against Lady Gabby, offending her and sending a dragon to ravage the palace.

The people finally held a demonstration in front of the palace with the help of nobles who previously acted neutrally, and they finally decided to side with Lady Gabby considering that her contract animal was a dragon.

The people protested to the King to arrest the Minister of Finance and Count Riel and give their heads to Lady Gabby.

"We want peace. Give the heads of the two criminals to Lady Gabby." shouted one of the protesters.

"That's right, we don't want to be homeless because of the greed of the nobility who raised the war flag on Lady Gabby." said a woman in front of the palace urging the guards to let them into the palace.

Emperor Blaise was surprised by the appearance of a dragon that ravaged the Sphinx royal palace. "What's a dragon?" said the Emperor in surprise.

"That's right, Your Majesty, and the information I have received is that the dragon is Gabby's contract animal." Said the warlord of the Azruth Empire. "They pissed the girl off." The connection.

Hearing Lady Gabby possess the contract beast made Emperor Blaise shudder. 'That girl is not human', thought the emperor.
