Nix’s innocent question made Orpheus stop, and his brain momentarily stopped, and seeing this, a winner smile adorned Nix’s beautiful face.

”Fufufu! It’s my win.” Her giggles echoed all around, forcing Orpheus to sigh in defeat. His little girl was becoming more and more human-like, and she could now joke and tease as well, he was pleased about this, and his happiness would increase when he saw what gift she was keeping for him.

The two continued until they finally stopped before a huge door; Nix pushed open this door and walked in. Darkness swallowed her; Orpheus didn’t waste time and followed after her. Darkness swallowed him as well, but as a being born from darkness, he had no trouble seeing in this darkness, and when he saw what was awaiting him, the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but rise a little.

He appreciated the gift before Nix introduced it to him.

”We are here.” Nix declared, and immediately following her declaration; the hall was brightened, showing what it was hiding, a chained beast surrounded by many vampires, not your usual beast, a high-level beast, a dragon. Yes, Nix’s gift for her father was a fucking chained dragon.

Although chained, it was still a dragon nonetheless. Orpheus interestedly watched the chained dragon, taking in its description.

Wide jade eyes sit elegantly within the creature’s bony, angular skull, which gives the creature a savage-looking appearance.

Several small central horns sit atop its head, just above its narrow, cat-like ears. A row of small tendrils runs down the sides of each of its jaw lines.

Its nose is wide and has two large, oval nostrils, and there’s a small crystal growth on its chin. A few sharp teeth poke out from the side of its mouth and give a slight hint at the terror hiding inside.

A thick neck runs down from its head and into a snake-like body. The top was covered in radiant skin, and rows of tendrils ran down its spine.

Its bottom was covered in small scales and was colored darker than the rest of its body. Four long limbs carry its body and allow the creature to stand poised and tall. Each limb has six digits, each ending in thick nails seemingly made of stone.

Enormous wings grew, starting from its shoulders and ending at the lower end of its back. The wings are scythe-shaped, the inner sides of the wing are full of minor holes, and small, sharp tips grow from each ending like massive spears.

Its elegant tail ended in a fan-like tip and was covered in the same radiant skin as its body.

This beast was without a dragon; however, at the moment, this majestic-looking dragon was heavily chained, and its body was full of wounds, but still, the beast didn’t lose its majesty even one bit.

The vampires monitoring the beast noticed their master’s arrival, and when they were about to bow in greeting, Nix stopped them and looked down on the dragon as she mumbled.

”Father, this is the gift I was talking about. It’s a wonderful gift, isn’t it?” Nix asked like a child who showed something good and was expecting praise.

‘Father?’

Whether the chained dragon or the vampires monitoring it, they were both shocked because there was someone capable of making Nix show that kind of expression. The vampires were curious about Orpheus’s identity because there was no formal greeting; they didn’t know his identity, but one thing was sure, which is this man was superior to anyone vampire present, even their master; their bloodline was warning them to immediately submit and never try anything they weren’t asked to do.

”Wow! Indeed, that’s some nice gift. I’m proud of you, my daughter.” Orpheus was honestly shocked. Out of everything he had expected, none came closer to this, a dragon. One should know that Dragons didn’t exist in this world, the closest thing to them would be a salamander, but Nix managed to catch one. Dragons only existed in a different plane, Emea’s, and the other hometown, Elysium.

Many scenarios raced through Orpheus’s mind, but he ultimately concluded that something must have happened when the one he tasked Freya to investigate in the Star Academy arrived; this dragon must be one of his subordinates. As to what happened, he would have to find that out later.

Orpheus understood all the precautions his daughter took, and it was to prevent the news of her holding captive a dragon because if this were to be made public, it might cause another war, and they would be fighting against that man, Emea’s fiance. While there isn’t a doubt he was scared of a confrontation, it would be unwise to start a confrontation immediately without knowing how capable and what that man brought with him.

Even if he was currently lost in thoughts, he didn’t forget to reward his daughter.

Nix happily accepted Orpheus caressing her hair as a recompense, and when she was immersed in the warmth his hand was providing her despite being slightly cold, the chained dragon watching this could not take anymore and roared.

Roarrrr!

”You lowly ants, you dare to imprison his highest maid. He will slaughter your entire family.”

Nix’s body stiffened, and she was about to go on a rampage, but Orpheus prevented her from going berserk.

The chained dragon flinched when she saw the playful grin on Orpheus’s lips; she was momentarily afraid, afraid that this was another monster, another abomination she had never heard about, a dangerous race that did not exist even in their millions of years of history. She is Atlas, one of Emea’s fiance maids; she tagged along when she heard her master was sneaking into a lowly world to bring back his fiancee. Although, she was secretly in love with her master, she knew she would never get the chance to be with him; she could never enter Arthur’s eyes as there was only one woman in his eyes and his heart, his fiancee from Hestia’s family, the most beautiful woman in Elysium.

Knowing her master was doing all of this for the sake of his love, Atlas was touched and followed; she vowed to help him once they arrived secretly, but when they were almost closer to this world, an accident happened, and well she got captured her Level 3 strength could do anything against this girl. However, Atlas was still hopeful; she would escape no matter what; she would taunt this newcomer and maybe use this opportunity to escape.

”You lowly creature of darkness, my master, is also a darkness attributes user; he is its true ruler,” Atlas shouted, trying to rile Nix more and probably trigger a fight.

However, what she hadn’t anticipated was what would soon follow.

”Oh? I’ve just learned something interesting; care to develop?”
