Kathe boasted about Mors .
“Mors is the son of the water dragon, Grand Chamberlain Morris and is Leea’s chamberlain . ”
“Indeed! That means you are part of the royal family . ”
“While I am, I’m still just a chamberlain . Please treat me like you would any other water dragon . ”
“That’s easy to say, but…”
“No, please . ”
Due to Mors’s strong will, it was decided that he would not be treated as royalty .
That being said, he was still an important guest . And so he was treated very respectfully .
Still, not treating him as royalty made a lot of things easier .
I had done something similar when introducing Kathe to the chiefs .
It would help both Mors and the beastkin .
“Mors isn’t just part of the royal family . He’s also an expert in barrier magic! Leea said so . ”
“That’s very encouraging . Thank you so much…for coming here to help us beastkin . ”
Danton bowed his head .
Just then, the tea was brought in . After we were served, Danton said,
“We are very happy that you were sent here…but I hope it is not too much trouble for you?”
He seemed genuinely worried .
As Mors was incredibly strong, his absence meant the weakening of their fighting force .
And while the water dragon settlement was currently peaceful, they couldn’t let their guard down .
I had been worried as well . That’s why I was planning on going to them myself .
However, Mors replied quickly .
“Of course . But if I can be of service to Mister Locke and the beastkin wolves, then we water dragons would be very happy . ”
Kathe heard this and nodded before saying,
“Leea too . She wanted you and Serulis, Shia, and Nia to come and visit . ”
“That’s kind of her . ”
“So you must go and visit her soon . ”
“Very well . We will go when we have the time . ”
“You should . And I will go with you when the time comes . ”
It was an honor that Leea wanted to meet us .
Next time, I would take Leea’s friends, Serulis, Shia and Nia and some gifts and go meet her .
Leea would also be happy if I brought Grulf and Lord Gerberga with us .
There would probably be time between jobs here, where we could go and visit the water dragons .
I thought this while Kathe sipped her tea and said,
“She wanted you to go there at first, but then I explained about the beastkin wolves . And so she agreed to send Mors . ”
“Ah, perhaps it’s because she feels indebted to the beastkin . ”
Kathe nodded at this .
“That is right . We dragons have a strong sense of duty . ”
The beastkin wolves had fought against the dark ones who attacked the water dragon settlement .
And Leea had promised to help them in return if they were ever in need .
And she had done just that . Her actions were very commendable .
“Still, I am worried about the water dragons . Maybe I should speak to Eric and Goran about it . ”
As long as Kathe was here, I could reach the water dragon settlement in half an hour .
But even then, I would rest easier if Eric and Goran knew about this .
However, Kathe said something unexpected .
“There is no need for that . ”
“Really? Why is that?”
“Because…”
—Knock-knock-knock .
Kathe was interrupted by a knock on the door .
It was the chiefs . They had come to greet Mors .
I wanted to hear what Kathe was going to say, but it would have to be later .
“Thank you so much for coming to our beastkin settlement . ”
“Thank you for having me . I am called Mors . ”
I introduced Mors to the chiefs along with Danton and Kathe .
They all knew Mors as one of the water dragon warriors who had fought against the dark ones .
And so there was mutual respect and they became friendly very quickly .
When that was finished, Danton and I took Mors away .
We would introduce him to the other members including the children .
“Children . Gather around . ”
“Oh, Mister Locke . What is it?”
The children said as they gathered around .
“This man is Mors . He’s a water dragon . ”
“Nice to meet you, Mors . ”
“Hello!”
“You have a fat tail!”
They seemed to like him .
Dinner was ready by the time he had been introduced to everyone .
And so we had a feast that night that was also a welcoming party for Mors .
