Vanessa shook her head with a frustrated look, thinking that Talia pissed off Vadric even more.

Vadric felt as if his chest was caving in hearing Talia's question. But unlike what Vanessa was thinking, he wasn't angered by Talia's question. Instead, he once again realized the shame, guilt, and pain of having his son crucified because of him not being the father his son needed instead of being the one he wanted.

He never thought that his looking the other way whenever his son committed questionable deeds would come back to haunt him.

He knew it won't be just Talia, but every denizen of this realm would be asking questions like this even if they won't dare to say it aloud. Nonetheless, the end result was the same.

And the fact that he would have to end Mevron's life right before he could die from old age was like the final nail in the coffin.

The only good thing that came out of this was that nobody in this realm would dare to go against the Winter Dragon King, including the ones in his race. Everybody thinks it was the Winter Dragon King herself who granted such a cruel punishment to Mevron, whom she had awarded the honorable title of 'grandson'.

If only he had proved his worth, he could have been the king one day. Instead, that day would never come now.

Vanessa was surprised as she felt the heaviness in the air around them dissipate as Vadric subtly turned his head in their direction and said in a somber yet firm tone, "This is what happens to those who offend Her Majesty."

Vanessa and Talia took a deep breath, wondering how ruthless this Winter Dragon King must be to do this to her own kin.

Vadric didn't say anything else as he continued walking towards the door-like opening at the bottom of the tallest mountain in the region.

Vanessa and Talia were astonished as they wondered if the Winter Dragon King was really living on such a big mountain.

The two had heard rumors but had no idea it was really true. They had indeed visited the Darkstar Realm before, but they never got the chance to visit such an important place since nobody can come here unless the Winter Dragon King wants them here.

The two didn't know why but they felt their heartbeat gradually increasing as they entered the mountain and came upon an enormous hall with an imposing, grand icy throne at the far end.

But the sight that froze their breath was the cold, otherworldly beauty sitting on the throne, looking down at them with her piercing icy blue eyes.

Other than the fact that the two were blown away by her mesmerizing beauty despite being so old, Vanessa and Talia had never felt such a chillness in their blood under someone's gaze, especially Vanessa, who should be the last one to feel such a feeling.

This strange, chilling sensation in their blood made them understand that they were standing before, not only a senior figure but the strongest Winter Dragon in the history of the entire Winter Dragon race.

She was the one who solidified the power of the Winter Dragons in this entire realm, making her race indisputably the sole protector of the realm. Before her sovereignty, there was always a power struggle between the Winter Dragons and other races like the Dark Elves, the Night Nagas, and so on.

But now, no other races would dare contest with the Winter Dragons, mainly due to her presence. Obviously, there were many who went against her right after she had sat on the throne, but she silenced them all mercilessly, and after that, none dared to even let out a squeak before her.

Vanessa quickly came back to her senses as she bowed 45 degrees to show her respect to the strongest being in the entire realm, "Your Majesty, Princess Vanessa is honored to stand in your presence."

However, Talia straightened her spine as she proudly announced with her chest puffed up, "Princess Talia from the Hellborn Dynasty considers it a pleasure to finally see Your Majesty for real."

Vanessa wasn't surprised to see Talia greet the Winter Dragon King since Talia and the werewolves of her realm weren't really people who followed general customs but instead had their own customs.

Still, Vanessa inwardly smiled, hoping Talia would somehow offend the Winter Dragon King with her beastly manners and bring trouble upon her head.

Vadric stood back in a corner by a couple of steps and pretended as if he didn't exist by not even moving a finger.

Nulai finally parted her lips as she said in an icy tone, "You two not only barged into my realm disrespectfully but even caused a huge disturbance. Now choose your next words carefully on why you two disturbed my peace because you two don't want to say anything I won't like."

Vanessa and Talia gulped as they realized that the Winter Dragon King wasn't holding back at all with her words and was even more of a terrifying presence than the rumors suggested.

They could feel how pissed off she was since it was no different than intruders breaking into one's home, and even an ordinary person wouldn't take that kindly.

It seemed as if she didn't even care about their powerful backgrounds, and that was shocking to a certain point.

Still, Vanessa felt that she couldn't act weak and make her kingdom lose face as she said with her back straight, "I didn't mean to be disrespectful by coming to Your Majesty's realm unannounced, but I had to come here because of a matter that is vital to my kingdom. I had no hostile intentions, which is evident by how I didn't hurt any of your people and—"

"And that is why I am letting you still breathe the air of my realm," Nulai interrupted as her expression became frosty and added, "You are done. Now the other one can speak, and then I will decide what to do".
