The Kingmaker System Chapter 779 - 778. Little Reina (1)

Celestia was a little nervous as she rode in her carriage heading for the Ryujin mansion. She had heard from Rune that Reina had actually been to Edrisyl island, the island which was the home of the reclusive Elves and Dwarves. They never made any contact with humans so, having Reina go all the way there and return while the battles were happening in Sestia was a little perplexing. But the fact that Reina was a Dragon, it all added up well.

Celestia already found Reina a little daunting but after getting to know the secret that the family was keeping, she could understand why she was both mesmerized and also a little wary of Reina. It was the primitive instinct of a human to be aware of the stronger one.

Still, Celestia had never once felt threatened in Reina’s presence, even when she was in Ocean’s form. There were quite some similarities between the two though that Celestia had noticed. They both had distinct and inhumanly beautiful eyes, Reina’s had had the faint blue sheen to it despite then being snow white in hue.

Unlike her, Celestia liked Runes soft pink hair, they reminded her of cotton candy and his eyes were like honey. Just the thought of him made the heat creep up her neck.

She was only supposed to be in Sestia for some time but she ended up staying for quite some time and she couldn’t deny that Rune had kept his every promise. Even before marriage he wouldn’t initiate anything without her consent and wouldn’t go too far the line. It almost made her frustrated but she also understood his intentions and now she looked forward to her wedding.

Rune was off to help the Lords in the Northwest along with his friends. Celestia had visited that place the other day with Brielle where she met the lady, Miss Lysanne Castermere who had been shooting arrows at the monster back in the arena and she found her incredible. She was rather easy to talk to and along with her was another lady who introduced herself as Baroness Nyx Valmest. It had been a productive visit as Brielle invited both the ladies and Celestial to her household at some time for a little gathering to bond.

Celestia recalled the twins who were running around the whole place and felt her heart warm up.

Unlike Denril where she mostly only stayed at her home or attended some ball or banquet, this was refreshing. It was like she was seeing a whole new world and in the middle of it all was the one who made it all possible. Rune.

Rune had also told Celestia to be careful since there were two Supreme Dragons at Ryujin apart from Reina. The thought of seeing them in person made Celestia’s heart pound.

She hadn’t told her mother about her sister-in-law being a Supreme Dragon, but now meeting two more of those Dragons whom she worshipped to be in the same place made her feel as if she was taking a pilgrimage. She wondered how her mother or anyone or Denril would react to this.

They might probably found it absurd that the Dragons were in Sestia, the agnostic kingdom whose first King was a Dragon slayer.

The carriage stopped pulling Celestia out of her thoughts and she calmed her nerves as she slowly stepped out as the carriage door opened.

The head maid had come to recieve her, Celestia returned her warm smile stepping down from the carriage holding her hand.

Celestia looked up and down at the tall woman with grey short hair look at her with a gentle expression. Unlike the maids Celestia had seen all her life, Mrs Jones was always dressed in dress shirts, deep blue vest and same colored trousers with dress shoes that somehow made no sound when she moved.

Celestia wondered why everyone around her sister-in-law carried this one trait of being charming.

"Master is waiting for you in the parlor, allow me to escort you there." Mrs Jones spoke politely.

"Yes," Celestia responded.

She walked with Mrs Jones when suddenly she stopped and then turned around, Celestia wondered if something was wrong and also turned until she heard the sound of the horse hooves.

Within a few seconds, a horse had trotted to a stop before then and Mrs Jones’s face grew a little brighter watching the woman who was riding it.

"Rose? What are you doing here all of a sudden?" Mrs Jones asked and Rose hopped down from the horse and made her way to them.

She glanced at Celestia before giving her a smile that looked identically as warm as Mrs Jones and her gray eyes confirmed that this was Mrs Jones’s daughter.

"Good noon, Lady Konstantinous." She said politely as she curtsied and Celestia blinked, surprised.

"How do you know me?"

Rose’s smile turned a little playful as she straightened up.

"It’s my job to know things," she said before turning to Mrs Jones.

"I came to see Master, I have something to give him."

"What?" Mrs Jones asked.

Rose shrugged, "A book."

Mrs Jones’s eyebrows twitched but she didn’t say anything and then turned to Celestia.

"I’m sorry, My Lady. This is my daughter Rose," she gestured to her daughter.

"It’s nice to meet you." Celestia said and Rose beamed.

"It’s nice to meet you too."

The three ladies then went inside Ryujin mansion, Celestia felt a little at ease, she was nervous thinking that she might run into the other two Supreme Dragons as well but it looked like she would be meeting Reina with Rose.

"Let go!’

"No!"

"It is because you act so juvenile and atrocious that I never call you Kin!"

"It doesn’t matter, I have our youngest now! She calls me Kin."

"That’s because you’re forcing her!"

"I’m not!"

"You definitely are, look at her, you’ll crush her to death! How will we face, Kin Solcarion then?!"

"Before me you’ll freeze her to death, Im simply keeping her warm!"

Celestia felt the tremors coming from the door of the parlor, even the maids standing outside with the trays of tea and refreshments looked wary and scared to enter.

"Um... What’s going on?" Rose asked her mother who just released a low sigh before she getsured for them to stop.

Celestia almost gasped as she saw the ice that had frosted over the sides of the doors from the edges below and above the doors to the hinges. It was almost as if the whole parlor was frozen.

Mrs Jones calmly walked to the doors, the maids waiting outside looked relieved watching her but then their faces paled as Mrs Jones grabbed the handles of the double doors.

One of the maids panicked and started, "Wait, Mrs Jones, there are-"

But before she could finish, Enora had opened the doors slight bit and entered.

The sounds of bickering came from inside for a few more seconds before everything was quiet.

The ice from the doors disappeared and Celestia and Rose exchanged a glance before the doors opened and Mrs Jones gestured for Celestia and Rose to go inside.

The maids followed behind Celestia and Rose.

The parlor didn’t appear to have been frozen as per what Celestia had expected, but it was quite unusually cold, so cold that Celestia found herself rubbing her arms and clenching her teeth to keep them from chattering.

Inside the parlor though there were three people, a tall woman with long white hair dressed in a furry white gown, a tall man with long silver hair dressed in deep blue robes holding a child in his arms. The woman was glaring at the man while he held the child in a way that it almost seemed like he was covering the child from her view.

"Stop it already, Issyrha. The youngest is cold." The man chided.

"And I’m telling you to give her to me." She spoke through her teeth.

"So that you could freeze her to death? No."

"I won’t!" She spoke and instantly the floor under her feet was covered in ice.

Celestia’s eyes widened and then she heard the sound of chattering, she turned to her side to see Rose hugging herself and her teeth chattering. Celestia herself was feeling as if the cold in the parlor was increasing.

"Revered Dragons," Mrs Jones spoke and Celestia eye’s went wide.

These two were Dragons? The same Supreme Dragons who were said to have fought in the Great War a millennia ago? The ones whose idols are in the temples all over Denril?

Celestia felt her heart racing for a moment but then she just blinked as she saw them clearly. These were quite clearly different than human beings, their body frame and physique were different. The man was tall and well-muscled but even the woman was considerably tall, probably even towering over the tallest knight Celestia knew. Moreover, they were extremely beautiful and had the strong and intense presence that Celestia had been feeling since she entered the mansion.

The two long haired man and woman turned to look at Mrs Jones, "If you may, please, let Master attend to her guest."

The young child who was bundled in the man’s arms suddenly poked their head out and Celestia almost gasped as she saw the young girl with long snowy white hair that had a few aqua blue strands in them looking right at her. Her eyes were the distinctive feature that made her wonder if this was a Dragon child too.

"Celestia." The child spoke and Celestia was dumbfounded.

She thought since she had come from Denril and hadn’t met with too many people here she won’t be recognised by many but here almost everyone seemed to know her.

"You know her?" The man asked the little girl.

"That’s my sister-in-law." The child responded and Celestia’s eyebrows jumped before she gasped covering her mouth.

"Re-Reina?!"
