Unknown narrator's pov,
The kingdom of Silverious.
The crystal buildings were being examined by ten official elves after the earthquake that took place many minutes ago.
They were confirming if the earthquake had done any damage to any buildings.
Within the crystal castle of the royal dragons with the purest noble blood, the dragon king was seated on his throne alongside his son, Skylar, who had long white hair.
The king also had long white hair, and his own was much longer than Skylar's.
Both son and father were wearing armor-like clothes that were shimmering, almost like the massive chandelier hung on the ceiling.
"Father, I have told you for the very last time that I want to apply to study in Phanatanum. You once promised me that I could make decisions by myself if I became an adult. And today, I am 50 years old. I am now an adult".
"At least, I am now a young adult. You have to agree to my demands". Skylar finished talking and kept on staring at his father, who was massaging his temples.
With a tired groan, the Dragon King said to his son, "Can you do this some other time, Skylar?".
Skylar frowned upon hearing what his father said to him. He stopped staring at his father and sat properly on his throne, with his arms wrapped around his abdomen as he continued to frown, but with his gaze now fixed on his father's subjects that had been kept at a standstill because of his tantrums.
"You may continue from where you stopped". Dragon King Seth said to Tanja, the black dragon in charge of overlooking the security within the kingdom.
Tanja was a muscular dragon in his human form, and he had short black hair and scars on his body, especially on his back and arms.
He had a single scar mark that started above his left eyebrow and ended beneath his eyes.
"What I was trying to say before I was interrupted was that the earthquake must be a sign to show us that the child of the prophecy had been born into Selitopian". Tanja said, but Skylar suddenly scoffed, causing the gazes of the subjects, including the gaze of Tanja, to be on him.
'I know that you are referring to me as the one who interrupted you. How dare you?'. Skylar scoffed once more.
"Skylar, interrupt us one more time, and you will be surprised when my fist touches your face". Dragon King Seth said to Skylar, who cleared his throat and avoided staring in his direction.
'Oops. He is angry. I shouldn't provoke him any longer. He really might hurt my handsome face. Then how would I get married to a beautiful and talented dragon like myself?'. Skylar thought to himself and tried to behave himself.
He decided that after his father's discussion with his subjects was over, he was going to mention matters concerning Phanatanum school to him again.
With Skylar no longer interrupting the discussion, Tanja continued to say, "I suggest we await a message from our spies in Gwafindol. The ruler of Gwafindol is the one holding the book of the prophecy in his mansion. So, he must know if the child has been born".
He concluded, "I believe that we will receive an update from our spies if they notice anything unusual. We must get the child before Gwafindol or the ruler of Gwafindol does. As the purest blood in the whole of Selitopian, our young highness is the one who deserves to have the child of the prophecy as his bride".
Listening to what Tanja had said, Skylar thought to himself, 'My bride? Tsk. No matter how powerful she is, I would never marry her if she turned out to be an ugly pest'. Later on, he could not endure it anymore and spat out what was inside his mind, "The rulers of Gwafindol are cunning. I used to wonder about this. What if the book of prophecy did not lock itself in the first place?"
"What if it was all a lie orchestrated by the rulers of Gwafindol to deceive all of us? Who among you saw the book of prophecy locked itself with your own eyes?".
"No one, right? I bet the current ruler of Gwafindol already has the child of prophecy in his grasp. And the earthquake? It's just nature doing what it does best. You guys don't have to make a big deal out of everything. Especially things like this". After saying this, Skylar relaxed his back and head on his throne, and felt proud of himself.
But he had no clue that he had gotten into his father's nerves for the last time.
Dragon King Seth flicked his fingers, and like a flash of light, Skylar's personal sitter and guard, who had long red hair and always wore an emotionless and strict look on his face, came into view.
He didn't need to ask what Dragon King Seth had called him for.
All he did was go ahead and grab the alarmed Skylar, before he began to leave the Iciera throne room with him.
"Let go of me. This is very humiliating. How dare you belittle me?! How dare you humiliate me, the dragon prince, in the presence of everyone!". Skylar struggled to free himself as he quarreled with his sitter, who utterly turned a deaf ear to him.
In the end, because Skylar could not free himself no matter how much he tried to, he allowed his sitter to carry him out of the room like he was a pillow.
That was how strong his personal sitter and also guard was.
