Reptilian Eyes(TOTCF fanfiction)

The Party Formation 04

The murmurs hadn't calmed even during the banquet.

Mostly about the prince whom have come to shake the roof with his appearance and pondered the great impact he had in the entire kingdom of Roan.

They were told that years ago, exactly eleven years back, Dorma's king visited the Roan Capital... and it was not a good experience. Everyone said that it was a good thing that this benevolent saint-like Dorma's crown prince was their crown prince Alberu's close friend, or else, there's a possibility that Roan would face the absolute power of the Dorma's king.

Knowing Euclidean's reputation: 'the kingdom destroyer' and a (by Raziel's perspective) 'sadistic dragon in the face of a saint' (which can also be referred to him), this reputation was not much talked about by many but it was a concerning thought to every royals of course. So they tried to appease Dorma and made sure not to provoke what caused the dragon king to destroy kingdoms: when in fact, Euclidean simply did it out of boredom.

Raziel was also full after being fed a lot by Alberu who couldn't help but enjoy seeing his soft cheeks puff while munching. It was cute that while he was munching, the blonde prince was disturbing him while poking his puffed cheek.

The young redhead would look at him in a questioning way but Alberu would only smile at him whenever he looks at him. So giving up for an explanation, Raziel could only continue eating thinking that Alberu had prepared most of his favourites.

Now Raziel wondered why but could not have enough space on his mouth to ask.

"I wasn't able to attend your sixteenth birthday." The blonde crown prince started.

The younger hummed. "It's okay. You did watched it with me." The entire time, the video communication was opened beside Raziel and Alberu, who was on the other line, saw what transpired in Dorma's birthday occasion. It was a very grand banquet, even grander than this that if compared, it felt like this banquet is just a humble dinner party.

That's how rich that blue dragon is. For his son, he's more than willing to make it rain gold coins in the entire kingdom... literally.

Smiling at Alberu, Raziel couldn't help but feel bad. In his every birthday whenever he sneaks his birthday invitation to Alberu and he actually happens to have time and attends, Euclidean would tell both boys a plot... a threatening plot directed to Alberu's kingdom.

But unknown to him, the Roan's crown prince was less than threatened by this and had built up immunity towards the king's half true half not true threats and it bloomed to become a rivalry against king Euclidean without the little apple knowing...

One time while Raziel and Alberu were having tea time, Euclidean couldn't help but disrupt and join as 'he owned the place' so unable to say how rude he had done that, the two friends could only awkwardly watch the older dragon borely drink his cup of tea.

Alberu greeted him properly, of course. Euclidean smiled at him, the kind smile mixed with dragon fear. As soon as he did, Raziel spoke to his father and happily told him a story making the blue dragon retreat his animosity.

When it did, Euclidean gave a victorious smile as Raziel's attention was given to him exclusively. The same smirk he gave to king Zed when they met but today it meant: I'm more important than you, kid. Now watch or leave you insignificant existence.

Alberu, who somehow understood the look smiled back, feigning ignorance. Then his eyes turned to Raziel and spoke. "By the way Raz, I just found that herb you said you wanted to see so badly."

When he said this, Raziel's face brightened and turned to Alberu like an excited puppy. "Really?! Really?!"

"Yes, it's currently planted in my greenhouse at home. Feel free to come by anytime and take it if you want."
