Capítulo 25: Greetings
Allen arrived at the lower floors of the castle as he walked through a hallway he had never gone through before and arrived at an area where knights were standing at the entry while maids rushed in and out frantically.
The entry was huge and was decorated was crystals that were dark in color with a tint of gold on them. Seeing nothing else special he walked inside the ballroom. The guards immediately bowed down 90 degrees when they saw the child.
The ballroom was huge as everyone was occupied with either dancing or gossip. They all wore clothes that seemed to be worthed thousands of dollars. Their gracefulness as they interacted amongst each other was elegant. There was no doubt that they were families of high ranks.
Spotting Atlas in the front of the room, munching down the food, he slowly walked over, making sure he didn't attract attention for now.
"Atlas." the moment he said that, his brother flinched and turned around, realizing who it was, he gave a gummy smile with his mouth full of food.
"Wait..a second." he said as he shoved down the food down his throat with big gulps of water as some nobles stared at him, mortified by his lack of etiquette. Knowing who he was, they were scared to comment on his unruly behaviour and looked away as they caught an unfamiliar person beside the vicious young boy. He didn't seem like anyone of high rank as they hadn't heard of him before, they turned away and continued their gossip.
Allen felt awkward standing there, watching his brother shoved down plates of food. He slowly backed away as he pretended he didn't know the weird guy.
He scanned around the room and saw a guy with brown short hair and gray eyes talking to a group of people. He looked closely at the guy's brooch and smiled. 'Found you.' he had spotted a member of the Art family. The youngest one to be exact.
Keeping an eye on the kid of the Art family, he sat on a chair and creepily watched him, coming up with ways to approach him, completely unaware that someone was watching him too.
The youngest prince of the Wisteria Family was curiously watching a boy with shiny black hair with a pair of red enchanting eyes. The most intresting trait about him was his presence, for people who had high senses such as the Wisteria family. It was easy to sense the unique presence the young boy had.
Locke thought to himself that he had found something entertaining for him to pass time with. However, just as he was about to approach the boy, he stood up suddenly and walked out of the ballroom along with a familar boy behind him. It was Atlas, the second prince of Drakos, well known for his unruly behaviour but was also feared due to his animal-like strength and senses. 'What are they doing together?' he thought.
Suddenly, The ballroom immediately went silent as everyone started looking down at the floor, as their bodies trembled in fear.
It was the King and Queen of Drako, entering the ballroom. Their presence immediately send the whole ballroom into a deep silence. The nobles felt fear even though it wasn't even directed at any of them. Hoping the king and queen could move faster to the front of the ballroom so they could take a breather.
As soon as they reached the front of the ballroom, they climbed up stairs and settled down in their gold thrones. The nobles immediately gasp for air as they awkwardly directed their attention to the front of the room.
All the thrones were occupied except for one. Kayden, Irene, Octavian and even Atlas was settled on the thrones as they looked down on their audience. Making sure that all attention was on them, the king stood up and immediately snapped his fingers.
The whole room was now even more silent than before,as the sound affinity was used by the king with a snap of his fingers.
"Bow down to me for, I am the king of Drakos." he said after a long silence, everybody immediately bowed down except for some of the royals.
"As you all know, The Drakos Kingdom has recieved a new prince to the Royal Family. For it has been years since we were blessed with a new Royalty. Let us enjoy this ball, as we acknowledge the seventh family member of Drakos." Just then, he removed the spell of his magic and the whole ballroom burst into chaos as everyone frantically whispered to each other.
"Silence." the room immediately went silent without the need of magic.
The chancellor and the best royal knight of the Drakos Kingdom stood by the new throne. Awaiting the presence of the fifth child. From thr front of the room, there a child walked up the stairs as everybody's attention focused on him.
The child had curly black hair along with light red eyes that were filled with coldness. His presence was unsettling, some nobles gulped as they sensed incredible aura from the child.
Allen walked up the the throne beside Octavian and stood infront of the crowd, he felt his heart beating really fast as he felt slightly nervous by the amount of people in the room. He had to mantained such a strong aura in order to prove that he was indeed part of the Drakos Family. He was exhausted having to do so and putting up an emotionless face was especially tough for him.
He breathed in and out as he placed his hands on the right side of his chest and unpin the brooch. The brooch is indicated to belong to a royal family member, the crystals that were used to made the brooch was only ever found in Drakos and was extremely rare and was only ever used for royalty. He held his brooch up high in the air.
"I, Allen Drakos am the new prince of Drakos." he breathed in and summoned his dragon to prove his identity of being an official royalty. The whole crowd gasp as the saw a huge dragon with gold scales. The effect for the size of the dragon was only temporary for the time being.
"Acknowledge me,For I, hold the absolute rule of fear and authority as a official family member of Drakos." this was the pledge that Octavian had taught him and forced him to remember and recite it during his presentation.
The moment he said that, many people started whispering among themselves. Allen looked down at the crowd and sighed. He emitted a menancing aura that he had learnt from Octavian and everybody immediately focused back to the front of the ballroom as they attempted to locate the area of the threat.
"Are you oblivious to who is standing before you?" Allen said, making sure everyone could hear him, he hated having to sound this mean but it was instructed by Octavian to do so.
"I may be a child but I can assure you that I'm much more capable than some of you, don't you think?" he said as he shined a friendly smile, it was not a sweet smile as it seemed. The smile was seen by the nobles as a warning to shut their mouths.
Allen finished his pledge and walked back to the small throne beside Octavian and occupied it. He crossed his legs and rested his hands on the chair and leaned his face on one of his hands.
A person waited for Allen to return to his seat and smiled as he walked up to a stage. "Let's resume our ball, shall we?" he asked with a comforting smile as he gestured to the musicians to continue their ballad.
The king looked at the presentor taking initiative. He nodded to show his approval and the ball started again, people danced and gossiped and talked about the new heir.
Many people came up to the front and greeted the royal family and gave praises to the new prince to gain his favor.
Meanwhile, Locke smiled. 'Drakos Family, not bad.' he walked up to the front and made his way to Allen, ignoring the other royalty sitting beside him.
"My name is Locke Wisteria." he greeted as he had a staredown with Allen who was now looking at him with a bored look prominent on his face.
"Pleasure to be your acquaintance." he placed his hand out, hoping that the action could be returned by Allen to avoid embarrassing himself.
"You're the one who threw the blade at me." he casually said as he shook Locke's cold hands and gave him a small smirk.
Locke eyes widened in suprise as he grinned. "Ah, sorry I was simply testing something." he replied.
Allen nodded as he let go of Locke's hand and looked away, focusing his attention back to the Art child. Locke, seeing this action, Locke understood that their exchange was over, he walked to the other royalty and greeted them.
