Eastern Empire – Kingdom of Nasca…
In a private chamber, the Star King Dragon, Veldanava, sat deep in thought, his expression unusually serious. After a while, his wife Lucia entered the room and noticed the troubled look on his face.
Lucia: What are you thinking about, with such a serious expression?
Veldanava: I'm thinking about Veldora.
Lucia raised an eyebrow.
Lucia: Why? Did Veldora review himself again and cause another incident?
Veldanava: Yes, he did reviewl himself—but this time, he didn't cause any trouble.
Lucia: Oh? Then what's got you so concerned?
Veldanava hesitated for a moment, but when Lucia gave him a sharp glare, he gave in.
(Note: Even gods can't win against their wives/GFs... I feel bad for Veldanava 😔😔)
Veldanava: Well, you see… Veldora finally achieved a humanoid form, so I'm considering giving him an Ultimate Skill. But I can't decide which one to give him:
Sariel, Lord of Hope, or Uriel, Lord of Covenants... or maybe even a Sin-series Ultimate Skill from within the Virtue series?
Lucia: I think you should give him Uriel, Lord of Covenants.
Veldanava raised an eyebrow.
Veldanava: Why Uriel instead of Sariel?
Lucia: Well, even though Veldora is over 5,000 years old, his personality is still like our 5-year-old daughter, Milim. Every time he causes trouble, Velzard either kills him or injures him severely.
With Uriel, he'd finally be able to protect himself.
You know, Veldora is honestly a pitiful child. He was traumatized by both Velzard and Velgrynd—he still doesn't dare to fight back against them.
I wish he would come and live with us, but I know he won't. Velgrynd is still here, and on top of that, my brother is extremely angry with him.
Veldanava: You're right. In the past, when Veldora was young, Velzard treated him very harshly to discipline him, and Velgrynd used to treat him like a toy. That trauma never left him.
Lucia gave Veldanava a sharp side-eye.
Lucia: And you have no right to say that. You saw what was happening to him and still did nothing.
Veldanava gave an awkward smile.
Veldanava: You see… I was busy at the time, so I couldn't help him.
Lucia: You weren't busy. You were just too lazy to help.
Trying to shift the conversation, Veldanava quickly changed the subject.
Veldanava: It's not that I was truly busy… If you don't believe me, ask Dino or Feldway.
By the way, what's Milim doing right now?
Lucia: Oh, Milim's sleeping with Gaia in her room.
And don't try to change the subject.
Veldanava (laughing awkwardly):
Veldanava: Hahahahaha… You caught me.

Eastern Empire – Kingdom of Nasca, Royal Palace…
In the grand throne room, Rudra sat on his throne, listening to a soldier kneeling before him. Standing beside him was Velgrynd, observing the conversation with her usual sharp gaze.
Rudra: What's the current situation with the monsters?
Soldier: Due to the Evil Dragon's reappearance, many mindless monsters have emerged in the Forest of Jura. But—
Rudra: But what?
Soldier: Our spies in the Jura Forest report that a blonde man suddenly appeared and killed all the monsters.
They suspect it was the Evil Dragon himself, who has gained a humanoid form and went on a rampage—just like in the past.
Rudra: Hmm… So where is Veldora now?
Soldier: They say that after defeating the monsters, he calmed down and then flew off toward King of Giants,Dagruel's territory.
Rudra: Alright. You may leave.
The soldier bowed and left. Rudra then turned to Velgrynd.
Rudra: What do you think? Was that blonde man really your brother?
Velgrynd: There's no doubt. That troublesome blonde brat was my brother.
Rudra: Why are you so sure?
Velgrynd: You see, Veldora and Dagruel are best friends—they've always enjoyed sparring together. I think Veldora just wanted to test his new strength now that he has a humanoid form. So, he went to fight Dagruel.
But...
Rudra: But what?
Velgrynd smiled dangerously.
Velgrynd: That brat… instead of visiting his older sister first, he ran off to meet Dagruel. Unbelievable.
Seeing her smile, Rudra thought to himself:
Rudra (internally): Master Veldanava once told me, "In this world, nothing is scarier than an angry, beautiful woman's smile."
Now I understand what he meant.
R.I.P., Veldora. Even though I don't like you, I'll still pray for you. I hope you survive the wrath of your sisters…
