"Rosy, you must remember that your well-being is the most important!" Theodore, a young human boy with a big build looked at the cute and chubby face of the little girl before him. He couldn't help but adore her cute appearance; light golden hair whose tip was light green. Soft skin and small plumpy lips that urge him to pull at them. Not to mention the chubby cheeks. The girl was nothing short of adorable. But her most distinct feature would be her eyes. Her eyes were rings containing golden runes. The rings rotated slowly in a clockwise direction. It was an unusual sight, and all those who gazed at her couldn't help but be drawn into them.
The cute girl shoved away the large hand that was rubbing her silky hair, "Jeez, how many times will you make me repeat the same thing? I have told you I am strong and can take care of myself!" She clenched her hands and glared at him in anger.
Theodore and the others chuckled as they found her actions cute, causing the girl to be displeased.
Theodore suddenly looked at the other child who was too young to be there.
"Kai, make sure you take care of the princess!" The spiky auburn-haired boy with a not-so-outstanding appearance merely nodded in reply as he tightened his grip on the katana in his hand.
"Humph! You are telling someone weaker than me to protect me? You must be out of your goddam mind!"
"Yes, yes, the princess is the strongest!" Theodore waved his hands in surrender but the playful smile on his face caused the girl to flare the more.
"You are looking down on me? Do you dare to fight me?" She jumped around Theodore as she demanded a duel.
"Hahaha!" The others laughed at her actions.
Her playful nature helped to ease the minds of the human teens who arrived first before the rift in space.
The playful laughs slowly died down as the shadows of flying birds appeared in the distance.
"Magical beasts..." one of the humans whispered.
The seven youths quickly moved to surround Rose and Kai. Theodore stood at the front of the group as he watched the new arrivals that landed near them.
"Oh! These must be the rumored humans!"
"Hahaha! I can't believe they actually left their hole."
"It isn't unusual. They couldn't resist the allure of the secret realm."
The mocking conversations of the new arrivals with similar numbers as them drifted into their ears.
The magical beasts were led by three youths, two boys and a girl of about 15 years old. The trio had black air, but the white reptilian eyes drew the attention of the humans.
"Royals..." Theodore muttered. He wasn't intimidated in the least as he gazed at the new groups. He was just about to speak when a sweet and cute voice beat him to it:
"Look at these wild animals speak down on us. Do you want us to cook you this instant?" Rosy pointed at the magical beast group causing an awkward silence to ensue.
"Gulp!" Gulping sounds echoed among the humans.
Theodore rubbed his temple in frustration while the other humans smiled wryly. They had been so tense about entering the secret realm not because they were afraid of the other races but because they were scared of their princess's mouth.
She had the habit of immediately voicing her thoughts with no care for the world. The only good side was that she was too adorable so only a few would get angry at her.
Sure enough!
The faces of the magical beats who were stunned suddenly distorted completely.
"You are courting death!"
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
"It seems you have forgotten you were almost wiped off the surface of this world recently. Where the hell did you get the guts?"
"What nonsense are you dirty animals in human clothing spouting? You talk as if you had anything to do with our current state?" Rose refuted in anger. Her chubby cheeks puffed up and her face flushed red adding more to her cuteness.
The magical beats ignored her unusual yet mesmerizing eyes and glared as if they would eat her flesh.
Rose's eyes widened when she read their emotions and was just about to voice the profanities that popped up in her head when Theodore's exasperated voice was heard:
"Will somebody please cover her mouth!"
Kai who was behind Rose, quickly covered her mouth with his free hand causing Rose to swallow the abuses that almost emerged from her lips.
*Hmm hmm...* Rose tried to break free from Kai's grip as she kept trying to talk.
With the primary problem resolved, Theodore and the other humans drew out their weapons as they watched the angry beasts.
It was as if they were declaring to them to come.
The air suddenly became tense.
The three youths with reptilian eyes were about to command their group to attack when the ground beneath their feet shook lightly.
Both groups simultaneously looked into the distance to see ten massive purple wolves approaching at breakneck speed. Their hoofs were covered in lightning as electricity coursed through their purple fur.
In just less than ten breaths, the group of wolves who were initially at a distance of three kilometers appeared before them.
A cloud of dust was raised around the magical beast and humans when the werewolves flashed before them.
When the cloud settled, the magical beasts and human eyes widened when they saw ten youths with purple hair standing with noble air around them.
The eyes of Rose who was struggling and the indifferent eyes of Kai who was keeping her in check widened slightly as they were fixed on a purple-haired girl of similar age to them.
They were surprised to see someone as young as them dare to enter the secret realm. It must be known that even though they were young, both of them were the most talented humans among their people which was why they were allowed under the premise they mustn't enter the second layer. Even with that, the two of them were given a lot of protective treasure to ensure they remained safe.
While Rose and Kai were watching the beautiful purple-haired girl, Theodore, and the others bowed their heads at the werewolves respectfully. Even the magical beasts greeted them and didn't dare to misbehave before them. They threw the matters with the humans behind for the moment and silently swore to pay them back when they entered the secret realm.
The werewolves nodded in response to the two group's greeting and simply waited in silence.
The other groups didn't have a choice but to reciprocate and Theodore communicated silently to Rose with his eyes.
Reading the message from his pleading eyes, Rose harrumphed before crossing her arms. She didn't bother with those present any longer and closed her eyes.
Theodore silently sighed in relief. He was happy their naughty princess didn't act out in front of the werewolves.
Several minutes passed in silence.
None of those present disliked the silence and instead used it to prepare their mental state. Entering the secret realm was a great opportunity and also a massive risk, so they had to be in their optimum states.
Suddenly...
The eyes of all those present suddenly turned in a direction. Three massive birds suddenly entered their visions.
It didn't take a genius to realize the identity of the new group. The humans and magical beasts suddenly became nervous. They were familiar with the hostility between the vampires and werewolves, and they knew they couldn't stand each other.
Just as they feared, the aura around the silent and dignified wolves slowly became dangerous. Electricity danced across the hair of the majority of them as they glared at the arriving vampires.
Suddenly...
The air of hostility around them instantly disappeared as their eyes widened at the person leading the vampires. Unlike the youths of the other races who came by themselves, the vampires were led by an adult. And this person was no ordinary figure.
They all knew and secretly respected the young woman before them. Each race had one prominent figure that intimidated their enemies from acting. The werewolves had their Moon Queen, the humans had their Magic King, the magical beasts had their Monster Emperor and finally the vampires had their Progenitor, who was acclaimed to be the strongest of them all and could only be put in check by the Moon Queen. However, unlike other races, the vampires had another prominent figure that was feared and placed on almost the same pedestal as the Magic King and Monster Emperor.
The werewolves, humans, and magical beasts bowed greatly as they greeted the new figure leading the vampires:
"We greet Martial Master Evangeline!"
Evangeline smiled lightly at their respectful behavior. The mature beauty exerted a charm that mesmerized the male youths present.
"Be at ease..."
She didn't plan to remain long at this place that was filled with only kids, so she threw her arm around Arlo's shoulder and turned to move to a more suitable place where she could discuss with him privately, when...
" So it is true. You are the human traitor that has been living with these blood-sucking mosquitoes!"
Silence enveloped the area.
Arlo turned to see the young girl with chubby cheeks who had almost the same hair color as him, pointing in his direction with a trembling finger. His silver eyes involuntarily became pulled into her spinning golden eyes that contained runes.
Theodore became pale when he saw the look of hostility the vampires were throwing at them. But still, without any hesitation, he moved to shield his princess behind him.
