Am I Really Important To You?

Close the book, he looks at Kaji with seriousness. He knows that Kaji might think he is one of the dragon's guardian since he can control a sword which can produce lightning. On top of that, the sword has engraved with a black stone at the handle.

"Okay, now move to this book. Read this." Kaji gives him another book. A book of dragon information.

Took the book, he read the content like before. This time it is info about the five dragons. Red Demon is a dragon of Fire. He can summon the fire through his hand. Burning a whole kingdom with just one hand. His skill on the battlefield cannot be denied. He is known as the ferocious dragon but full of kindness.

A second dragon is a Black Thunder dragon. A dragon of lightning. Controlling the Sky and very known to its loyalty to the Red Demon. This dragon can use his abilities to produce lightning and struck at his will.

Hayden looks again at Kaji. "You think I'm the black dragon, aren't you?" He asks, confirming his thought. Indeed he can use this ability and only he can use it when the sword is in his hand. His eyes also change its color when he wants to use his abilities, his adrenaline feels like electricity run to his every vein and he could feel like burning inside his body, but still, he can manage to put the pain under control, he even feeling better after that.

Kaji nodded his head. "Yes. According to this characteristic, I believe you are the Black Thunder's guardian.

Hayden did not reply after that and continue to read again. This time it is a Skylark Dragon. A dragon who can control the gravity and the water. The only dragon with two abilities. This dragon had a green structure and golden yellow eyes.

He then moves to the next dragon. Rogue Dragon. A dragon of ice. Had a very sharp structure with its scale is made of the ice layer. And the last dragon is Nightfall Dragon. A dragon who can control the ground. Had a black structure body as the Black Thunder dragon but different in eyes color, a Nightfall dragon has the starry night blue eyes.

"These other four dragons, where should we find them?" Hayden asks when he finishes his reading.

Kaji blinks his eyes a few time. "I don't know. The tales only said it guarded at four tribes in this Kingdom. Maybe you need to go to each tribe and find them. And by the way, its only three dragons, not four."

"Do you have a map?" Hayden stands up and clears one table for him to lay out the map.

Kaji also standing up and find one roll of maps and give it to him. "What are you planning?"

"Erm, trying to reroute the journey." Hayden lay the maps and pin in one location before he continues again.

"Let's say if, I am the black dragon and I control the Sky tribe. Is there other possibilities that another dragon is another three general in each tribe?"

Kaji rubs his chin a little before he shakes his head. "No. They actually random people. It just happens that you are the General and you also use your abilities with openly, so it's easy to track you down. While another three of them, I believe they're not aware that they are the guardian of the dragon."

"But, who is the Red Demon? Its say that he will reincarnate again and a true heir. King Edward did not have any heir which is a man. And is it possible the Red Demon is Prince Hans?"

"No. Prince Hans indeed has a unique hair color the same goes with Yuina. But you only react and can use your power to protect her, am I right?" Kaji finds another book which has information about the Red Demon.

"The princess? But she.." He stops his sentence. Yuina is so weak to be a Red Demon. She never held a sword and never allowed to touch any kind of weapon. King Edward really spoiling her and want her to be a true lady.

Different with Prince Hans, King Edward even ask him to go to each tribe and training for a few years before he can finally return to the main Castle.

"Reincarnation doesn't pick your last life gender." Kaji shrugged his shoulder.

"So, how do I find these three dragons? Are they have some kind of mark or sign that I can spot them? Are they also know they're a guardian of these dragons?"

Kaji stares him blankly for a moment. "These dragons….they basically legendary. So I never encounter one, except for you. So I don't know how to answer your question. I could only wish you good luck. All I can say is..the prophecy tells us if we gather all of the dragons again, a new kingdom will be arise again. A true king will return. A Red Demon king."

By just the way Kaji says it, makes Hayden suddenly has goosebumps. What if the new King is someone who is a bad person? Will he need to obey the King? But what if Yuina is the true King? Is she able to lead a new Kingdom? She sure needs to learn more, she always skips her class and does what she feels like she wanna do. She never assigns to learn how to take over a country.

"By the way, forget about it for now. This is something that you should discuss with Princess. Let her decide what she wants. I already told you the important thing. This is your decision with her. Think about it properly. And if you want to go. I will gladly ask Kyra to join you both." Kaji already cleans up his table by close all the book and put it back into its rack.

"Huh, why?" Hayden is a bit curious to why he want Kyra to follow them.

"Because she can be a really big help to both of you." He smiles and turns his head again to the book rack

'Of course, I want to get rid of her. She always nags me non-stop. My eardrum will bleed sooner if she still here.'

Hayden did not say anything else afterward. Both of them went back to the house and have a peaceful lunch together.

…

At night,

Yuina wakes up when she feels a bit cold. She then looks around the living hall and the bed she was laying at, there's no figure of Hayden. She starts flipping her blanket and gets down from the bed. She tries to look for him inside the house.

After five minutes of looking, she went outside the house. Worry that he might be in trouble. He never left her without saying anything.

"Hayden?" Yuina calls out his name in the lawn. When he did not reply back to her, she went a bit far from before and call his name again a few times.

Hayden at the moment is in the lake area. Where they both fall from the cliff the other day. He sits at the rocky edge of the lake and stares at the center of the lake with his drenching pant and his bandage on his body start to lose because of wet with the water. He had been searching all the area but to no avail.

While he was staring at the lake blankly, he suddenly hearing Yuina's voice calling his name. He stands up and went to the source of the voice.

"Princess." He calls her when he saw Yuina from afar.

Seeing him, she immediately runs to him. Her face was pale and she almost crying while searching for him. She was afraid of the dark and the woods, but to find him she had to courage up and went inside it.

Hugs him tightly, she said " Where'd you go? You know how worried I was?"

"I'm sorry. I thought you were sleeping." He tucks her strand hair behind her ear gently.

"Mmm." She shakes her head before she looked up at him.

"What are you doing in the wood, Hayden?"

"I.." He took Yuina's hand and touch around her wrist softly before he continues again "I went to search your bracelet. It missing, isn't it? And it also an important item to you, right?" His eyes still fixed on her hand.

Pull back her hand, she hugs him again. "Idiot! My bracelet is sure is important to me, but you're more important. Don't do something like this just for my sake! What if you died out there?! I couldn't…I..I don't know how to live if you're not around. So stop making me worry! You got it?"

Hayden's heart feels like its gonna explode because of the speed his heart beating inside. He smiles a bit and cupped his rough and big hand to Yuina's small and cute face. He lifts it up a bit so that she could look at him.

"Sometimes, I wish I want to die, just to see how you will cry for me. Am I really important to you? Princess?" He bends his body closer to her, staring at her cherry round lips

Blushing, she punches Hayden's chest. "Idiot! don't talk about going to die! You jerk." She lowered her head to stare at the ground. Hiding her blushing face.

Chuckles, he moves his hand and caresses on his hair instead. "Okay, I'm sorry. It's getting cold now. Let's head back to the house." He took Yuina's hand and ready to move.

Before he steps forward, Yuina takes off her cloak and give it to him. "Hayden..you're soaked wet. Use this."

Looking at the cloak, he says. "Princess, thank you. But I am a man. I can handle the cold. You should use this for you." He wants to cover her body back with the cloak, but Yuina immediately glares at him.

"No! Use this for you. This is an order." She knows Hayden will continue to refuse, so, she needs to make him obey her order.

Not having any word anymore, he nods his head. The princess order is absolute to him. Even if he doesn't want it, he still needs to follow her order.

After wearing the cloak, he leads Yuina back to the house. His one hand wrap on Yuina's shoulder and he covers her body using the cloak. With this, both of them can use the cloak.
