Chapter 424 - 418: A Great Sorcerer Meets a Lesser Sorcerer
Laksha took a deep breath and resolved to inform Leon of the mission given to her by Her Majesty Tiamat.
This decision was not made on impulse, but after much careful consideration.
She didn’t believe Cecilia had long since sensed her secret mission... The other seemed to have a similar background, so perhaps she had indeed noticed. Moreover, that was a living example right in front of her, showing her the choice one should make.
Another reason was that Her Majesty Tiamat had completely misjudged the charms of Tassera and Cecilia. They were opponents equally matched to herself, thus there was no way she could complete the mission, and Her Majesty Tiamat hated failures.
Finally, the most crucial reason was Leon’s captivating charm, powerful strength, and generous personality, which made it impossible for her to extricate herself.
"What is so important that you must tell him?" Cecilia sat down again, blinking her cunning eyes, "Do I have the chance to hear it?"
Laksha looked at Cecilia warily, just as Leon had initially been cautious of the Green Dragon; she similarly didn’t trust the Green Dragon. Who could blame the Green Dragons for being liars and masters of enigmatic speeches?
"What’s so important that the queen and prime minister like me can’t know?" Cecilia waved her hand indifferently, "Go on, Leon should be forging a sword in the Forging Workshop now... That man, either he does nothing at all, or once he starts, he’ll work tirelessly to complete it before taking a good rest."
Laksha suddenly froze in place, struggling in her heart, worried about abandoning the Green Dragon just like that, fearing the Green Dragon might take revenge later, as Green Dragons were always petty.
"Shall I take a guess at what you’re up to?" Cecilia looked at Laksha’s tense demeanor with interest, unable to resist toying with the Black Dragon, "You’re such a powerful Black Dragon, ruling an entire swamp and forest with ease, having no reason at all to seek refuge with Leon... Is it possible you came with a mission from Her Majesty?"
