Chapter 55- It’s personal!
Inside a huge room which by furniture and decoration could be regarded as luxurious, seated a young girl in her twenties.
Just like the other residents of the Chaos Realm, her height was way above average from a human's standard—almost 6'10.
Her dark blue hair was braided neatly with a silver hairpin keeping her alluring hair in place. Her golden eyes, which makes her the most peculiar dragon in the Royal Families, were staring constantly at the wall opposite the bed.
Unlike usual where people are only greeted with her cold and disdainful eyes like she is watching everyone from far above, currently, the woman had an entirely contradictory expression.
The pictures which she was staring at were all hand drawn without much clarification of the subject. But one thing was absolutely every image contained a single person.
The person whom she adores.
The man she desires for.
The man for whom she is shamelessly greedy for.
And the only man who can make such a mess of her heart.
**Knock**Knock**
The woman didn't take her eyes away from the paintings since she knew someone was coming to inform her of something enthralling.
"My lady Yuna….' he' is here."
Despite hearing that the person whom the princess has always awaited had finally arrived to take her away, Yuna didn't move from her spot as a thought struck her mind and a dangerous smile curled her lips.
'This time you have to come for me, an~na~ta….'

Back in the main court, Kei with a wry smile stood while facing the Dragon Emperor Aswath along with his wife and three children.
Currently, Kei took the appearance of the adult version of himself which he used to attend the banquet that Karen's mother arranged.
He didn't show his true form to anyone other than his mother and his lovers. Previously he always appeared in this form whenever he wanted to meet the royalties.
However, it wasn't that his appearance made Kei troubled. Rather it was the way he was greeted by the people.
"Please get up, you all. It's rather embarrassing to get greeted like this every time by the highest nobles of the Realm."
The reason why Kei was urging them in such fluster was that the Emperor and his family were kneeling in front of Kei currently in utmost respect like they were worshiping their God or something.
It was such a sight that not only the residents of Chaos Realm but those from other worlds would have fallen into utter shock beyond recovery.
The strongest entities of the highest realm were kneeling for a single man was of course a sight to behold as well as to dread upon thinking what strength this singularity possess.
"It's our utmost honor to meet the Eternal Prince. Please allow us to greet our benefactor."
Kei found it rather troubling to let them on the ground so he urged the Emperor to shift the meeting venue to somewhere else. Since the throne was placed higher he knew Aswath wouldn't sit there to continue this conversation.
The reaction on the three heirs' faces was neutral but from inside there were a lot of thoughts currently swirling as they changed the location and walked to the private dining space of the palace.
They knew who Kei was and what makes him so special that even their parents regard Kei as their superior. There was no way they disrespect Kei but the first prince Vali had some personal issues with him.
Of course, Vali didn't say it out loud since he knew what consequences might arrive because of his haste.
**Dhak**
With a slow thud, Kei put the cyan-shaded crystal on the table for the others to see. It didn't take them long to identify what it was and to whom this belonged.
But what mattered more was the person who brought this crystal.
Ashwath looked at Kei with a perplexed expression before the latter started to explain the concerning issue.
"The Southern Continent of Ishmihar among the other five continents has stayed loyal to the Royal family up until now. But someone has broken the law and traded this crystal to the lower realms."
Ashwath's eyes widened before anger started to cover his demeanor. The others had a similar reaction but seeing the Emperor such enraged, they felt to calm him down first.
"Those bastards!"
The floor started cracking as the aura surrounding the big man was so heavy that even a high-ranking human-like Kaori might have fainted.
The Empress soon put her hand over her husband's before she whispered in a soothing voice to subdue his agitation.
"Calm down, Ashwath. You are being rude to Grandpa."
Kei felt like sighing since he already told this sly empress to not call him grandpa. But since in a way, he indeed was her great-grandfather, Kei didn't pursue her.
"Ah… I am extremely apologetic, My lord."
Ashwath slightly bowed his head since he was ashamed to show such sight in Kei's presence. However, the latter didn't give much thought to it and proceeded with the talk.
"It wouldn't take time to find who is involved in this. That's why I came here first to discuss it with you."
"I immediately will assign my best soldiers to capture the culprit as soon as possible, my lord."
Upon hearing Ashwath's generous proposal Kei shook his head slightly which made the people around him confused.
With his eyes growing darker than before and a murderous glint flashing in those orbs, Kei stared at the crystal as he spoke his desires out.
"I am going to handle this myself since this matter is rather personal."
