Chapter 455 Nelmorphius The Troublemaker

~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Flying towards The Raid Deep Crystal Crypt, The Kingdom of Avalon)~~~

,m ~~~(Time: 8:41 AM)~~~

For some reason, Nelli hasn't left yet and is insisting that I continue holding her as I fly. Besides that, we haven't spoken that much. She's a silent dragon girl princess... It's weird saying that... Her eyes boring into mine are something that I find nerve-racking. She's much older than her physical form portrays. This makes me think it's something her Race, as a dragon, can do.

I'll be honest and say that I never thought I'd run into Nelli again. Let alone so randomly. "Mind if I ask you a question?" She raises her eyebrows slightly and nods a single time. "Why have you decided to track me down and bother me anyway?" I know that she said she'd be keeping an eye on me, but I didn't expect her to keep constant tabs.

'Visit (No ve (l)B i n) to read, pls!',

She gains a devious smile and spins her fingertip on my armored chest, getting a little frustrated it has no effect on me. "I wanted to see how you were doing and the progress that you made. It's a rare thing for creatures like us to meet, after all. Life forms of higher existence. While your life rating is higher than mine, you're not stronger. Not as you are." She's right about that.

If Nelli wanted to, she could probably kill me with the flick of her finger. Life ratings should be coming into great play around the 300 level mark, and I'm not that far away from it. Only 74 levels till that milestone. "That can't be the only reason. Cause if it is, your life must be incredibly boring." I give a chuckle at my observation, but I see she isn't happy about my blunt words.

I basically said she's a boring girl that isn't interesting. "Speak for yourself, Mr. Elf lover. So typical. Elves get all the love... Why can't a pretty dragon girl like me get any attention!!?" She throws her short arms out in a mock fit, and it's hard not to laugh. "Well... You're right that it's not my only reason... My father was wondering if you could do him a favor." That's not what I was expecting.

The Dragon King Vendris is one of the strongest living things on Gaia that isn't an actual God. "What would the King of all Dragon what with me? I doubt there is anything I can help with that he couldn't do himself." That's my genuine take on this request. It doesn't make a lot of sense to seek me out for help. Not when you're that strong.

Nelli rolls her eyes and leans her head against my shoulder since she has easy access to it. "He's wanting to get into contact with Fenrir. Vendris wishes to test his strength against The Beast of Ragnarok. Personally, I think my dad is insane. Fenrir has many names, and being a literal God Eater says a lot." Ahh... I remember... There was an announcement about Vendris wanting that.

Using Fenrir's whistle for such a small reason seems like a great insult to my friend. Fenrir entrusted me with it, and I don't use it unless I need it. "Honestly, Vendris doesn't stand a chance against Fenrir. I don't think anyone does except The Almighty Father and a select few Gods..." I don't know how strong Fenrir is, but I know that he's feared and respected by everyone.

<br/>That means something, and you should learn from that. "I agree with you, but my father can be a knucklehead about these things... I'll just say that I couldn't convince you... He even said to use my body to convince you... Can you believe that?" She tries to entice me, but my disgusted face offends her. "Fine! Let's see how you like this form!!" All of a sudden, she grows into a woman.

Just a second ago, she was a little girl that I could easily carry, and now she's just a little taller than Sally and fully developed. "What the hell are you doing!? Don't surprise me like that!! I could've lost my grip and dropped you!!" Her face gets red, and her cheeks puff out. It's due to me reacting in the way I have and not in the way she wanted.

She folds her arms around her chest, and she emphasizes her breasts, but again even in an adult body, she has no effect on me. "Ugh! Why are you being so difficult!?" She's slowly giving up, and I can only hope she stays that way. She's become annoying. "Well, I hope that you're happy. You've thoroughly ruined my good mood." My smile causes her to grimace.?

~~~(POV: Saliandra Orvello)~~~

~~~(Location: Road heading toward The City of Rezza, The Kingdom of Avalon)~~~

~~~(Time: 9:30 AM)~~~

The empty road is something that I've become familiar with in my travels with Cera and alone. Most of the time, Cera would fly us places. But there were times when we had to keep a low profile and take a carriage or walk. Getting to the Capital of The Elven Kingdom was such an occasion. "I wonder how Helda and Melimora are handling things..." Helda is the new Queen of The Elven Kingdom, after all...

That's more responsibility than anything she's ever had before. She initially intended to only temporarily lead The Elven Kingdom until a new ruler was elected, but she became so popular, that everyone wanted her Queen. The secrets that I learned about myself, my mom, and my father in Greshina have done many things for me that I didn't know I needed.

Knowing that I wasn't conceived from a bandit and that my real father is still out there means more to me than I've told anyone. I'm not some half-breed between a human bandit and my mother. "That's all thanks to Cera... Without him, I wouldn't have become anything close to this..." I'd still be a waiter at that Inn he found me in...?

Whenever I think of Cera, my heart flutters, and my world brightens up. "I'd love to reach out to him at the moment..." My hands move of their own volition, and the Friends Tab is already open. I compose a message asking him how things are going and what he's up to. The usual that goes on when we message one another. But his response stops me in my tracks.

[I'm just flying towards my next destination. I've got to take on a Raid called Deep Crystal Crypt. It's a tough Raid, and I'm looking forward to the challenge. There was a pretty great hot spring near Leekes, and I spent the night there relaxing a taking a day before getting back on the grind. I'm also with an old friend named Nelli. She's the firstborn and daughter to The Dragon King Vendris.]

My eyes read the last two sentences repeatedly, and I feel my heart race and anger and jealousy I've never felt before in my entire life. The area around me is slowly freezing over. "He's not cheating me... He's not cheating on me... He's not cheating on me..." I say these words over and over again to get in through my head.

The system tells you if your partner has been or is being unfaithful to you, and that hasn't happened. "Just take some deep breaths, Sally... Nelli is just a friend of his, and there is nothing going on... At least Cera wouldn't try anything or let anything happen... But Nelli, this bitch could be trying something." I don't know her, and I don't care about her status.

If she tries to take my man from me, I'll be roasting dragon princess over a nice hot fire.
