Blood in the rose thistles

Chapter 17

"I'm not gonna drown am I?" Alexina asked herself, while slowly climbing down from the cliff, without the people looking, she used her vines so she wouldn't fall. When she got to the bottom of the cliff. She slowly walked to the water, until the water was on her chest. The water was calm so it was easier for her to walk.

"Aquaria-nim, are you in here? I've been feeling your presence the moment I was on the cliff. And also, Is Rosaria-nim with you?" Alexina suddenly felt a force underneath the water and pulled her down. Before that happened, she breathed air, before she was pulled down the water. When she was under the water, she was greeted by two pairs of massive eyes, looking at her.

Alexina smiled when she saw who it was. Alexina was put in a water bubble for her to be able to breathe.

"Aquaria-nim, I didn't expect you to travel using the ocean, in your dragon form. You look majestic." Alexina complimented the Ancient Dragon Aquaria for her to maybe forget what Alexina did to her, before. She has this beautiful, turquoise colored scale, and she was 18 meter long. Aquaria was napping in the sea bed while looking at Alexina.

"I can't believe you loot some of my treasure so you can get away from your training. Rosaria-nim was furious when you ran away. Good thing, I was able to get here faster than she is. I would just like to remind you that you will be undergoing a more brutal training, I heard her planning it. It keeps me awake so be ready." The dragon lights up, and a woman that was a little taller than Alexina appears. As expected for a dragon, the woman was so serene, she has this turquoise colored wavy hair that was designed by pearls, and has this mermaid looking dress.

"Really? Gosh, I fuck up." Alexina said, and the water bubble started to go up, as Aquaria was going up.

"Yeah, you fuck up. Be ready when she appears." Aquaria warned Alexina.

"But, I can't get hurt right now, or tomorrow since it will be my wedding." Alexina complained, which made Aquaria look at her.

"Wedding? To whom? Nevermind, I need to see that person in person. And you're coming with me." Alexina looked at her hands when a chain made from pearls started forming, and tying her hands.

' Shit, and I have a plan to run earlier, but I guess I'll just see what happens.' Alexina thought and she just found herself in the cliff and was greeted by a furious Eruhaben and Cale who was looking at her up and down.

"I didn't do anything wrong. She just bought me underwater." Alexina raised her hand to tell them that she is innocent but she forgot that her hands were tied up, Eruhaben raised his brow when he saw it. He was about to talk when Alexina heard a voice that was too scary for her.

"So, this is where you were hiding, child. Be ready since I will not let you rest after you run away from your training." When she heard that, she immediately ran towards Cale and used him as a shield.

'She's not going to hurt a civilian, right?' Alexina thought and looked down at the chain that was already broken.

"Why are you two in here?" Alexina stands up and takes a peek behind Cale to see Eruhaben asking the two dragons.

"Cale, just follow everything that I said, if you want me to attend our wedding tomorrow." Alexina whispered to Cale who was about to look at her when he felt the dragon fear that the 2 dragons are releasing right now. It was Eruhaben and the other girl that was with Alexina when she appeared in the cliff right now

"Cale-nim!!"

"Human!!"

Choi Han and Raon was already in front of Cale and Alexina while looking at the 3 dragons in front of them.

"Shit, do they know each other? Of course they did, idiot Alexina. All of them are ancient dragons that were with the last gate opening. I don't really want to do this but this place will blow up if two dragons fight." Cale suddenly got shivers when he heard what Alexina whispered.

"Rosaria-nim, Aquaria-nim , do you want to attend my wedding?" Alexina asks to get the attention of the two other ancient dragons, while still hiding behind Cale.

"What wedding are you talking about, child? We're here to assist you for the opening of the gates, as you were all by yourself." Rosaria said and Aquaria finally broke the staring contest with Eruhaben and looked at the figure of the last Libitina that was hiding behind a man with red hair.

"Ahmm..just like what I said. Wedding. I'm getting married tomorrow." Alexina said and Cale shivers when two predator eyes were looking at him or the girl behind him.

"And that boy will be the groom? Tsk. Finish what you're doing right now, and I'll personally talk to you later, Keres. Don't you dare run away just like what you did when you were a child. I'm telling you. Don't make me mad." Rosaria said and that's the cue for Alexina to hold Cale's shirt and started dragging him back to the tent.

"I'm really gonna die. Please, don't let this meeting end."

-----

Alexina woke up from the feeling of being watched by two pairs of eyes. She opened her eyes and noticed that she was in an unfamiliar room, and she noticed very familiar reddish-brown eyes with long lashes and very bright red hair boys looking at her.

"Good afternoon!!" The twins greet her, so Alexina sits and kisses the boy's forehead. She noticed that the kids were properly dressed for an occasion.

"Good afternoon? Wait, did you know why mommy is here? I believe I should be in the meeting." Alexina looked confused but the twins just pointed at her side, so she looked at it and almost jumped off the bed when she saw two ancient dragons sitting next to the bed that she was sleeping on.

"You fainted the moment you entered the tent. The doctor that looks at you stated that you suffer from stress that's why you fainted. That also means that you will miss the banquet because you don't have any time to dress up." When Aquaria-nim said that, Alexina jumped immediately from the bed and went to the first door that she saw.

"Mommy!! You still have 2 hours before we will leave for the banquet!!" Alexina heard Alaric shouted behind the door. Alexina entered the tub and started showering.

"I'll help you. You can't let your children go to a party full of those nobles. They will surely eat your children. And we didn't know you already have children. Good job with that. You need to keep your bloodline alive." Alexina heard Aquaria-nim talking but she ignored it.

Maybe because of the ancient dragon's help, she was able to get dressed, 5 minutes before the carriage left to go to the castle.

"Mommy, you look beautiful." Ambrose said when he saw his mother going down from their room.

"Really? I don't have any time left to properly dress up. But if you said that then I'll trust you." Alexina said, and looked at Cale who was waiting with his son, outside the carriage.

"So shall we go?"
