There was no hesitation on Charles’s face when one of his guards confidently praised him. On the contrary, Charles would sooner or later reach the Great Dragon King stage and become one of the strongest prodigies, standing on equal footing with Athena and Elize.

Charles’s age was slightly above Athena’s and Elize’s. Charles, Elize, and Athena were all from the same generation. Therefore, they possessed strength no lower than that of the powerful dragons within the Dragon Realm.

One of the reasons why Charles did not have a famous name in the Dragon Realm was that Athena and Elize were known as the two prodigy dragons. Even if Charles was the third strongest after Athena, he was still a weaker dragon compared to Great Dragon King stage dragons.

One of Charles’s hands was now clenched very tightly. Suddenly, a powerful energy centered on his fist. With just one breath, the energy in Charles’s body had completely transformed into energy much stronger than that of the average Dragon King stage dragon.

"Let’s go. It’s not good if we stay in this place either. I’m afraid Auntie will come to beat us up."

Slightly ugly expressions crossed the faces of the two guards. For Charles’s two guardians, Lilith was a woman who could conquer part of the Dragon Realm.

Lilith’s power had been publicly recognized by living beings throughout the world. Both the Dragon Realm and the living beings from other continents regarded Lilith as a Divine Dragon they could worship at any time. Even so, Lilith did not care at all about the worship the beings gave her.

"Understood."

After Charles and his two guards left, the figure of a silver-haired woman was seen walking in through the window of the living room. The woman’s expression showed her disgust.

The woman’s face was not much different from Heilde’s face. She also had a pair of blue eyes like Lilith’s. As the younger sister of the three powerful sisters, she was one of the prodigies born no less talented than Elize and Athena.

Ariel La. Lucifer was the name of this girl. Previously, she had intended to walk through the entrance gate from outside the castle, but she decided to stop after feeling the presence of Charles and his two guards.

Ariel’s current age was 21 years. Both Ariel and Lucien were the same age. Even though Ariel and Lucien were the same age, she had strength no lower than the Great Dragon King stage.

At the age of 17, Ariel had managed to reach the Dragon King stage through her own efforts. And now Ariel’s strength had reached the peak of the Dragon King stage. None of the dragons from the same generation as her could match her strength.

Even if they were lifeforms equivalent to the Dragon King stage, they would have no chance of winning against Ariel. One of the reasons why Ariel was not in the castle before was that she was busy studying at an academy.

It was not easy for Ariel to move freely outside the academy. Moreover, the distance between the Dragonia Kingdom and the place where the central capital was located was very far.

Actually, this was the first time Ariel had visited her home after two years. Previously, Ariel had wanted to go back and meet her family, but her busy schedule at the academy meant that she did not have the opportunity to meet her future brother-in-law.

Rumors about Lucien going to fight Charles had spread throughout the imperial capital. For Ariel, the fight that her future brother-in-law would fight was a battle that would determine the fate of her older sister.

"My dear little daughter, are you back? It’s rare to see you wandering outside the imperial capital. Did something happen?" Lilith’s voice was heard in the living room. Ariel’s return gave Lilith a slightly happy feeling in her heart. After all, Ariel was the youngest daughter Lilith had and had been away for two years.

Ariel’s previously ugly expression changed into a happy one. Without paying attention to the problems that had occurred before, Ariel immediately decided without hesitation to hug her mother with all her strength.

"Mother! I miss you so much!"

A gentle grin appeared on Lilith’s face. Having a daughter who acted spoiled in front of her was not something easy for Lilith to obtain after becoming one of the strongest existences in the Dragon Realm. Because Ariel was the most spoiled daughter towards her mother, Lilith was happy to pamper her beloved daughter.

"You’re already grown up. It’s okay. Ariel, you’ve been working hard for these two years. Besides, you seem to have come back before the academy declared a national holiday."

A cough involuntarily came out of Ariel’s mouth. Ariel’s previously happy face turned nervous. Turning her gaze away from her mother, Ariel acted dumb and pretended not to know what her mother was saying.

"That... uh... I didn’t come back because I ran away. It’s just that I finished all the exams for the fourth year. Therefore, I just wanted to see what my brother-in-law was like. Can I see him now?"

No one understood what Lilith was thinking right now. Wrinkles appeared on Lilith’s face. After hearing her daughter’s purpose in returning to the kingdom, Lilith did not know what she should say in return.

Lucien’s training was not completely over. Two months was a suitable amount of time for Lucien to finish his training and then return to Athena and the others. Even if Ariel was a daughter often pampered by Lilith, she would not let her daughter bother Lucien just because she wanted to.

"Unfortunately, Mother can’t let you see him for now. You have to wait another two months to see your future brother-in-law."

"Eh? Shouldn’t my brother-in-law be inside the castle? Where did he go?"

Ariel’s continued questions did not make Lilith care or feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, Lilith answered every question from her daughter calmly. Luckily, Ariel understood what her mother meant by the problems her future brother-in-law was experiencing.

Disrupting Lucien’s training was simply not a good option at this time. Because of the battle in the next two months, Lucien also had to prepare himself to fight with all his strength and not let Athena fall into the hands of the Vermillion family. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"As expected of Sister Athena. She was truly born with great charm. I already knew that there would be many men chasing after her." A sigh involuntarily escaped Ariel’s mouth. Recalling past events made Ariel feel a little humbled. Even though Ariel’s talent was on par with Athena’s, she was still only 21 years old and had no experience with the outside world.

After hearing that Athena had brought a human man and made him her lover, Ariel did not feel any jealousy until Lucien finally awakened her talent. Lucien’s talent was a gift given by the world to members of the Dragon race.

The nature of the Velvet Prostitute Physique was also the reason why the Lucifer family respected Lucien and made him part of their family. It was not that they were cruel to Lucien, who was going to fight against the young master of the Vermillion family. Both Athena and every other family member truly wanted Lucien to prove his strength in front of the citizens of the Dragon race.
