"Well, the Dragon Overlord is currently occupied with some rather important matters, so I'm afraid he won't be joining us today."


He adjusted his circular glasses, his gaze wandering toward the magnificent buildings surrounding them.


"Well, I suppose someone of his standing would have plenty of matters requiring his attention. Still, I must admit that I'm rather curious about the individual who managed to bring all these dragons under his command."


Finally arriving at the castle, they were taken to the grand meeting hall. It was a magnificent chamber befitting the rulers of Dragon City.


Tall pillars carved with dragon patterns lined the walls, while enormous windows allowed sunlight to spill across the polished marble floor.


A long table occupied the center of the room, surrounded by elegant chairs, with several attendants standing quietly along the walls.
