The Dragon Master

Chapter 11 - Council Convocation

Hiccup stood on the balcony of the castle looking at the city around him. The city is busy with diverse residents. Various from various aspects. Ethnicity, culture, nation, accent, clothing and so on. Even though they are different, they are still one. The residents of Dragon Utopia are people who symbolize unity and peace. They all trust and respect each other. It became Dragon Utopia's greatest strength.

Hiccup saw that Bouthon Island had become the island with the most developed city around. Of course, he also pays attention to the welfare of other islands, such as Caldera Cay island as the island closest to the archipelago. The Viking tribes will gawk at the progress of civilization and wealth belonging to Dragon Utopia. As the center of Dragon Utopia, Bouthon Island is the most important and is often the place where important royal meetings or visits from other nations are held.

Hiccup heard a dragon roar from a distance. Dragons are the soul mates of the residents of Dragon Utopia. They are friends, colleagues and protectors of this nation. They are also the symbol of the Dragon Utopia kingdom. Dragons are well-liked and respected in this nation. Everyone has their own dragon companion, having bonded with them heart to heart. Everyone will be trained to ride dragons at a dragon riding school led by Heather. The children will bond with the Terrible Terror as their companion, because bonding with a larger dragon is too risky for them.

Hiccup heard the sound of a baby crying behind him, breaking his thoughts. He turned his head quickly and walked quickly towards a baby bassinet in the middle of the room. His metallic footsteps echoed in his large room. It was his and his late wife's room, Elsa. Several paintings are displayed on the walls of the room. Such as a painting of himself and Elsa, a painting of Toothless and Hiccup as Dragon Master, a painting of Arendelle, and a blank canvas that was supposed to be a painting of his small family when Kanna 5 years old. There is also a large royal mattress colored emerald green mixed with ocean blue. Some lavender is placed in each corner of the room, creating beauty and fragrance in the room. A large balcony leads directly to the city center, and there is a jeweled chandelier. He designed all of this with Elsa. Hiccup lied that he had let go of Elsa, he missed her. She was his love, second only to his pathetic love with Astrid. Speaking of Astrid, Hiccup wondered what she was like now. Maybe being the tough, angry leader of Berk, killing dragons with no strings attached. Pushing aside all his thoughts, Hiccup focused on the baby in the bed.

"Kanna sweetheart," said Hiccup as he slowly carried his 8 month old daughter into his arms. The little girl started babbling incoherently, while crying. "Good morning, you're hungry, right?"

Hiccup started rubbing his daughter's back, until Kanna started to stop crying. As a single father, taking care of his child is tiring. But, Hiccup will do anything for his daughter, because Kanna is his most valuable treasure. Kanna started growing teeth at 8 months old, allowing her to eat better. She has also started to crawl. As an active and curious child, Hiccup cannot let go of his gaze on Kanna, because the child will disappear in an instant.

"Heather should have arrived, where is she?" Hiccup asked himself. He walked slowly out of the room into the corridor, where he found several servants. "Excuse me miss, have you seen Heather?"

The young female servant flinched slightly in surprise when her King asked her to speak. It was not unusual for Hiccup to speak politely and kindly to the castle servants. Hiccup didn't like the difference in status at all. Indeed, as a king and they are servants who work, but the only difference is their work, right? Everyone remains human and the same. Hiccup, who was once an outcast, knows very well what it feels like to be accepted and appreciated. Everyone likes and respects Hiccup, not only because he is a powerful King, but also as a leader who really cares about his people.

"U-uhm, good morning Your Majesty, eh," said the young maid with a slight stutter. Her eyes widened slightly and she broke out in cold sweat. Hiccup frowned, didn't all the servants already know that he usually talked casually with them? Must be a new maid. "I haven't seen Miss Heather this morning, Your Majesty."
