Visiting Home and Meeting Another New Breeder!

"I can't believe you staged the whole thing, what were you thinking?" Silvia asked.

It has been only a day since the terrorist attack at the church and everyone got to sleep peaceful at night knowing that everyone is safe, only to find out it was all a fake set up by Veronica to help boost Silvia's courage up and believe in herself more.

"All this time, Avdocha was just part of your scheme to put your little sister on the proper path, do you have any idea how many people could've gotten hurt if it was real." Laphicet scolded his partner.

"Relax, it all worked out in the end." Veronica stated.

"Did you knew about this?" Ash asked Rebecca.

"I only know the little details." Rebecca admitted that she too was left out of the plan.

"But wasn't all a lie, I really was part the terrorist and it's true that I tried to assassinate Veronica five years ago only to fail. After I surrender to her and worked for her as an undercover agent ever since." Avdocha explained.

"Wow, pretty ironic that the one who wanted the Iron Blood Valkyrie dead ended up working for her." Zavid commented.

"Yeah, that how the world works I guess." Avdocha shrugged.

"But what about her wanted poster looking so different than the real deal?" Max asked.

"One of my people made it completely base on what he thought he saw; we just didn't have time to change it." Veronica answered.

"Now that I think about, it almost looked like you have a lost-long older sister." Laphicet chuckled.

"If that was the case then I would be the middle child." Avdocha joked.

"Middle? So, that stuff you said back at the church about having a little sister is true." Ash realized.

"Yes, I may have said a little of things, but when it comes to my little sister my words are true." Adocha said serious.

"What's her name, I'll help whatever I can to find her." Laphicet offered willingly.

"I thank you for that. Her name is Shamara and she's turning 15 this year." Adocha revealed.

"Is there anything else you tell us about her, besides what she looks like?" Laphicet asked.

"Well, I believe she should still have that red and yellow stripes scarf I gave her years ago." Adocha remembered.

"Speaking of sister, I got myself something interesting." Veronica snapped her fingers.

"I am going to become a Knight. An Arch Dragonar to be exact." Silvia's voice talked over the speakers on the bridge of the ship and it keeps repeating the same sentence over and over.

"Veronica, please! Stop this right now!" Silvia blushed of embarrassment, begging her older sister to stop the recording, but Veronica didn't listen as she covers her mouth with her hand to prevent any laughing from escaping.

"Hahaha, I guess sisters like to embarrass each other. Huh, Gen?" Laphicet laughed.

"Yes, I believe this is one of the sibling bonds they cherish together." Gen nodded.

"General Veronica, we got received an urgent mission from Paladin of the Lautreamont Knight Kingdom." A solider reported.

"Huh, it from father?" Silvia surprised.

"Never I get a call from the Paladin himself." Veronica equally surprised.

"What's a Paladin?" Laphicet asked.

"The Paladin is the ruler of our very kingdom; he is also Veronica and Silvia's father." Gen explained.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot that Veronica is a princess." Laphicet remembered.

"What does my father want?" Veronica asked.

"He asked that you come to the capital after finishing your business with the town to meet your new dragon Pals, he also said to bring your maid with her dragon partner too." The soldier reads over the message.

"Wow, word must've spread fast to your old man." Zavid commented.

"Guess the father likes to keep track of his daughters to make sure nothing happens to them." Dezel stated.

"Yep, the Paladin is such a kind and gentle ruler who loves all including his daughter, but you should also watch out when he gets angry over something happened to their daughter, it's not pretty." Prim warned.

"Wow, he sounds like an interesting man." Laphicet said.

"True, he does have his moments, but he can also be a total goof at other times too." Veronica deadpanned, confusing Laphicet.

"I'm sure father will be happy to meet you; he was always worried about Veronica since she couldn't get her own Pals at the ritual even though she became the strong general we know." Silvia informed.

"Well, just in time too since we're about to wrap things up here. Time to return home!" Veronica announced while standing up proudly.

(Later)

"So, Veronica, what's the place you knew up in like?" Laphicet asked curious as he looks out the window seeing the sky turn red by the sunset.

"The capital is a very big place; bigger than the town we were at and many others in the kingdom and when it's nighttime the lights in the city shines brightly like you're staring at a rainbow." Veronica explained about the capital.

"Wow, I can't wait to see the rainbow light!" Laphicet excited as he claps his hands.

"Well, it'll be a long flight, so we'll reach the capital by morning." Veronica informed as she looks out the window too.

"It's very strange." Veronica said.

"Huh?" Laphicet wondered what she means by that.

"When came home after the Orphan's Rite ritual, father and my mother who was alive at the time was very sad that I couldn't get a dragon partner and wanted to help me in any way he can, but I ended up helping myself and became a general." Veronica said.

"Yeah, Silvia mentioned that. I bet he's gonna be crying in tears of joy that you finally have me as your dragon partner." Laphicet said as he hugs his master with his head on top of her cleavage.

"Hehe, it'll be more like dancing of embarrassment." Veronica giggled.

(Lautreamont Knight Kingdom Capital)

"Come on, I want to see the capital!" Laphicet pulled on Veronica to hurry up to the bridge to get the high view of her home.

"Easy, it's not going anywhere though I can understand your excitement for going to a new place." Veronica chuckled.

Soon, Laphicet got to see through the front window of the ship and he was struck by the amazement upon seeing the capital city that is so big, bigger than the last town and the shape of the city is like giant flower that was planted in the land many centuries ago or something more amazing.

"Wow, so that's your homeland!" Laphicet said.

"Yep, that's the capital of the whole kingdom, Fortaine." Veronica said.

"So, this where you grew up." Laphicet said.

"That's right, and I believe the Continental Congress is coming up soon." Veronica mentioned.

"The Continental Congress, what's that?" Laphicet asked curious.

"It's a special meeting, every five years the most powerful leaders from five nations come together. This most critical congress determines the future of the entire Arc Strada, it can be held in any of the five nations and I believe this congress is gonna be held in Lautreamont Knight Country." Veronica explained.

"Wow, that's a really big deal to hold a meeting like that." Laphicet commented.

"Yep, it's very important that the five nations work together to help our country though I can't say that we should trust the Zepharos Empire." Veronica stated, still wondering about the investigation on the incident in Ansullivan.

The Silvanus lands on the landing platform safely, Veronica and Prim along with their dragon partners Laphicet and Dezel walk out of the ship heading for a pair of large doors like they're meant for bigger dragons. As soon as the door opens, there is a line of maids standing on one side with another group of maids on the other also lining up.

"Greetings, Princess Veronica, welcome!" The maids greeted their first princess at the same time.

"Aw, it's good to see everyone again! Oh, I wonder how Frieda is doing?" Prim said.

"Frieda?" Dezel asked.

"She's my cousin who is also the Head-Maid of the whole castle, she is also very strict and can be harsh to anyone who would screw up on the job." Prim explained.

"So, she yells at you a lot for being a goofball." Dezel figured since Prim is the only woman he knows who screw up a lot as a maid.

"Hey! That's a little mean!" Prim complained.

"Speaking of Frieda, I don't see her here which is odd since she's always here whenever me or my sisters come home to greet." Veronica noticed the Head-Maid isn't here.

"Miss Frieda is off doing an important errand for the Paladin though she'll be back soon, Paladin waits for you in his throne room." A maid gestured the direction.

"Very well, we shall meet with him now. Come, Laphicet." Veronica said as she and the others start walking.

"It was nice meeting you all!" Laphicet said cheerfully at the maid, they couldn't help to adore the dragon boy for looking so young like a cute child while they think Dezel gives off a mysterious cool aura and are surprise to see Prim having him as her Pals.

"Whoa, everything in here is huge! It's like the place was built for giants!" Laphicet complimented.

"I bet you could get lost in a place like this if you're not familiar with the layouts." Dezel stated.

"Yeah, even before I first started as a maid, I tend to get lost from time to time, but I eventually got better with knowing my way around." Prim recalled the time she would end up in the wrong place years ago.

They reach the large red and gold doors which leads to the throne room of the Paladin.

"Princess Veronica has return your Majesty." Prim called out as she opens the door.

Veronica and Laphicet enter first with Prim and Dezel coming in second though to be honest, Prim is very nervous about going into the throne room upon the Paladin's request, but she felt calm know she has Dezel by her side.

"Veronica! I dear little warrior girl, I miss you so much!" A man said jumping toward Veronica for a weird hug acting like he's a pervert, and Veronica response by punching him in the face that sent him a few feet away.

"I see you haven't changed at all, father." Veronica said disappointing in her father's behavior.

"So, that man who was about to jump on her like a crazy man is the ruler?" Dezel asked.

"Yep, that's him. The Paladin of Lautreamont Knight Kingdom, Oswald Lautreamont" Prim answered.

"Oh, your punches are even stronger than your late-mother, Elizabeth! Oh, such fond memories!" The Paladin remembered the "fun" he had with his late wife back then.

"Wow, he must be really tough to take your punch like that." Laphicet commented.

"It's all because of his foolish behavior of a child, I'll never understand how a man like him ever became the Paladin." Veronica said harshly.

"Oh my… you most be the dragon boy Laphicet I heard so much about!" Oswald picked up Laphicet high in his hands.

"H-Hi, it's nice to meet you." Laphicet greeted.

"You're so adorable, if you weren't a dragon then you could very well be Veronica's son!" Oswald complimented on how cute Laphicet is.

"FATHER?!" Veronica blushed.

"Oh, and you must be Prim's Pals. I must say, you are looking a little mysterious on the outside, but you are a caring young man." Oswald commented on Dezel and final put Laphicet down.

"Thank you, I guess." Dezel sweatdropped.

"I bet you two are really excited that you have finally gained your dragon partners, I mean it's certainly unheard of that people suddenly becoming late-bloomers like this, but the important thing is that now you can fight stronger together!" Oswald said being a little serious.

"Yes, I certainly felt that way when I accepted Laphicet as my partner and I never regret having him by my side to this day." Veronica smiled warmly as Laphicet respond with his own smile. He hugs her around the leg as she pets on his head.

"Wow, the Iron Blood Valkyrie has actually melt her cold-heart personality to someone other than Silvia! I was so worried that you would end up growing into an old angry woman with man in your life, living all alone in a house full of cats and smell like tuna every day!" Oswald cried.

"Do you want me to kill you?" Veronica asked in a vicious eerie voice and a dark aura emitting from her body. This made Oswald shivered from his scary daughter while Laphicet didn't notice as he was too focus on the hugging.

"N-Nothing, my dear strong daughter, I'm just happy that you have your own dragon partner." Oswald waved his hands rapidly and hope Veronica won't punish him too badly.

"Anyway, I believe this meeting is more than meeting our Pals, right?" Veronica guessed.

"Hmm, you always have good instinct when there is something amidst around you." Oswald chuckled as he stands up straight.

"I called you both here not just to meet you dragons, but for your four to also to also meet the new Breeder here." Oswald revealed shocking everyone.

"What? A new Breeder had also appeared too?" Prim shocked.

"That's right, and this Breeder is someone you two know very well while growing up in this castle." Oswald hinted before turning toward a pillar.

"Alright, you two can come out now!" Oswald called.

Two persons came out of the pillar, one is a woman with long purple hair that goes down midway to her back and wears a small pair of glasses over her purple eyes. She wears the same maid uniform as Cosette and Prim except she has a pink ribbon around her neck with a purple jewel pendant. Breasts sizes: HH-cup.

Next to the woman is a little boy with silver hair and eyes that is the same height as Laphicet and surprisingly wearing the same clothes as him except this boy wears a silver collar plate with a little silver bell attach to it. The boy also has gray-silver color horns on his head.

"NO WAY?! Frieda, you're a Breeder too?!" Prim and Veronica gasped at the same time.

"It's good to see you two as well and yes, I'm have suddenly become a Breeder not too long ago." Frieda said.

"We were very surprise to find this young man here in bed with Frieda, I actually thought she was into young men these days." Oswald joked, earning a death-glare from Frieda making the ruler scared.

"A-Anyway, we soon found her Starbrand and this boy here is a dragon just like you two. I was so overjoyed and shocked about the news of here and you Veronica, that I hardly paid any attention to my royal duties." Oswald explained.

"(Not like you EVER do your job as Paladin seriously.)" Veronica thought.

"Congratulations! Counting you now, there are Five new Breeders!" Prim cheered.

"Wait, five, you mean there's two more?" Oswald asked.

"Yes, the other two are Cosette my sister's maid and an old friend Angela Cornwell." Veronica informed.

"Wow, this is really something!" Oswald excited.

"Does he have a name?" Veronica asked about Frieda's Pals curious.

"Yes, his name is Silva. Say hello to them, sweetie." Frieda said to her dragon partner Silva.

"Hello, it's nice to meet you." Silva greeted emotionless.

"Huh, that was a bit… flat." Prim pointed out.

"Silva has been like that, but I can assure you all that he does care on the inside." Frieda explained.

"Hi, I'm Laphicet and I hope we get along." Laphicet greeted his new dragon friend and hold out his hand.

Silva just stand there looking at Laphicet's clothing that matches his own clothes.

"Weirdo." Silva said, confusing Laphicet.

"Your clothes, you trying to copy me?" Silva asked.

"No, no, it's nothing like that. This is how I like to wear." Laphicet explained.

"Okay, but you're still a weirdo." Silva said.

"Your Pals certainly is unique in his own way." Veronica commented on Silva.

"I can say the same about yours." Frieda said.

"Oh man, wait until Cosette hears about this!" Prim squealed.

KO a new chapter is done and hope you'll enjoy it!

Now all five new Breeder and Dragon partners are now revealed and soon they will be brought together, bet you didn't except Frieda to become a Breeder too and I decided to have Silva as the dragon partner because I believe he could do more than in the game and will slowly warm up to his fellow humanoid dragons.
