The sun was rising on the grand sepian palace back at the capital, the King has his unbothered face as he was yawning and stretching, he glanced over the bed to see his wife side empty, he checked the time and rolled his eyes as she always wakes up early but he was pleased that she found the strength to get out of bed, he started to get dressed and then opened the door to his chambers checking sideways before he stormed the halls. But he bumped into Ivan who was glaring at him with gloomy dark energy but the king looked at him blankly turning stiff as he turned giving him his back and walked away but Ivan grabbed him by the back of his collar "Hold it!" The king sighed and rolled his eyes "I don't want to do it! I want to take a sabbatical!" Ivan froze for a moment thinking to himself "You can't do that.." and he pushed his hands off and yelled "HEY! I'm the King! If I want a sabbatical I will get a sabbatical!! OK! GOD! Get off MY BACK!" And he walked away but Ivan's eye glowed red and he snatched the King from the back of his collar dragging him.

The office of the supreme leader Ambrose Ravinton was filled with sounds of typing and the sound of papers being stamps, as he was busy at work without a single sweat, some of the other lords of the court were peaking at his door whispering amongst themselves glaring at him.

"Doesn't he gets tired?"

"He's been working for 3 days straight I haven't seen him take a single break..."

"Seriously! Not a tea break...Lunch break...He makes us look bad! Is he doing it on purpose!"

As they were lost in envy gritting their fangs at the hardworking man, a voice from behind cracked a sighed "I know..Right..He makes it hard for everyone...I can't order him to take a vacation.." and they all gasped as they turned to see their king huddling up with them, and they scattered yelling nervously "YOUR MAJESTY!" And he was still with his unbothered face being dragged by Ivan who was pointing at Ambrose "Look at him! He's not taking a sabbatical.." the King gasped and yelled "Do not compare me to that NERD! He likes working! I think it's fetish or something, the man can't seem to take a break" as the king was complaining the typing suddenly stopped and Ambrose stormed toward the king and glared at him "If you did DO your job! I would be home with my wife and kids.." The King paused and looked at him blankly "I sat all day with you yesterday! I had a headache worst than a hangover! Isn't that enough you sucked my energy!" Ambrose paused and his eye widens as he spoke "You sat for an hour! And most of that time you've been just stamping death excitation and smirking...My infant daughter can do a better job than you!" The king had a sadistic smirk as he recalled all the annoying people he had put to death but then he looked at Ambrose and smiled "How about you bring her then!" Ambrose pointed at the office and spoke in a calm tone "You have to finish what you started..." the king looked at the office that looked hundreds of miles away his eyes widen and he gulped nervously as he started to drag one leg after another and his lords cheering him on. But he was rescued by a voice calling out for him "Father...Father! I'm here~" Once he turned he saw his son dragon running toward him and he fights back his tear and had a big grin on his face as he ran to embrace him dramatically "Son!" As he was hugging his son he turned to look at Ambrose and shrugged off speaking in a formal tone as he found an excuse to ditch him "Look! My son is here! I don't see him often since he's in Vrithia...So.." and he held into his son's hand and was about to run off but Ambrose smiled and continued to speak "Then his highness would like to join his father in doing some very important paperwork!" The King frowned and yelled that his son wasn't into this and it's too boring for a teenager but as he turned he saw his son with giant puppy eyes sparkling with interest "I would love to! Supreme leader!" Ambrose had a big excited grin as he saw the dragon as the only reasonable person in the royal family, aside from the childish king, the Queen was hysterical and Prince Eros was chaotic. King Ramsey rolled his eyes and glared at his son and muttered in a low pitched tone "Why do you have to take all her genes I'm the one taking care of you..." and he followed after then in the office and he sat in the corner watching his son having the time of his life with Ambrose while his soul was slowly been sucked away by boredom, as dragon was sorting through the paperwork he paused and started to rearrange the whole system which made the workflow more move efficiently and quickly. Ambrose's eyes widen and he lifted his eyebrows as he was impressed by dragons action.
