Around midafternoon that very same day, the God of Love was strolling around the palace grounds with his large flock of children. Accompanying them were the dragons, immortals and several members of the de Oiche Ducal Household. Although the latter additions to their group had only been allowed to join them since the Queen insisted they have a guide. Of course it had been extremely obvious that she had wanted to take on that role herself. Unfortunately, she as the ruler of Roija had to take part in the alliance meeting along with the Crown Prince. Upon seeing an opportunity to spend time alone with the Keepers of History, the Headmaster had immediately volunteered to escort them. Using his grandson who was similar in age to the noble's children as an additional reason for his family to be chosen.

"You've met elves?!"

All attention moved to the boy with dark burgundy hair whose voice echoed down the corridor they had been traveling through. Multiple servants respectfully averted their gazes when they realized who the voice belonged to. It was not their place to snoop in the affairs of the guests of the Royal Family. No matter how curious they were about the mysterious redhead.

Giggles came from the silver haired twins who saw their older sister shyly nod in confirmation of the Future Duke's question. Her response caused his pale greens to shine with excitement and visible intrigue. For a boy who had never left his kingdom, the stories of others traveling the world greatly allured him. Especially ones related to non-human races often villainized in various forms of art and literature by the detestable purists.

"What are they like?"

Just as the mixed blood was about to answer, the black haired boy who was cuddling with his baby sister in the God of Love's arms casually remarked.

"Crazy."

They saw the youth nod in agreement which amused the ancient dragons. Each one adding their own assessment of the inferior race.

"Fanatical."

"Stuck to their traditions."

"Obsessive."

"Weak."

"Annoying, but amusing to watch."

<F*- Freaking exhausting...>

Three matching gazes focused on a teen with a pink afro who looked extremely bored. Was he by chance also a dragon-nim? Immediately, the elderly human's heart began to race in pure exhilaration. How many humans could claim to have met more than six dragons at once?!

"Dodori. You best not tease them too much the next time we visit the World Tree."

"Yes, Mama..."

A pleased smile spread across the sun-kissed woman's lips. However, the Future Duke had stopped walking and was now staring in awe at the beige dragon in awe.

"The World Tree is real?!!"

Thankfully, soundproof magic had been cast around their group after the last outburst. Meaning the chaos from such a sudden revelation was contained to a small group who could be silenced before they could ever become a threat. Although the World Tree was by far safer now that it resided in the innermost sanctuary of the God of Love's temple.

"Enric. You must be quiet or the Esteemed Dra- Guests won't share their experiences with us."

<Ha— Another fanatic... Only this one is crazy for knowledge...>

Hastily, the boy covered his mouth and lowered his head apologetically towards the deity. When the redhead turned away to show the small duo in his arms a marble statue of a knight, the dark burgundy haired noble turned back towards the young mixed blood and inquired.
