Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System

[Day 230]

Today we got the visit from the Sect Masters, and the old Ancestors ghosts were crazy over it. They wanted me to finally present them to their descendants, but that would mean telling them I just stole from their graveyards.

So I had to find another excuse to them existing in here with me, and they said they were fine by lying and not saying that I had just stolen the graves… I guess that's fine by me!

I had to just lie, that simple! And with the help of my vampiric charm skill, it was possible to convince them more easily.

Mikohime had come here with her family though, Kokoro and Shouta, alongside the Dragon Tsukuyomi. Meanwhile, the Jade Snake brought even more people, there was Thaletus, the sect master, Zephyr, that kid I revived, alongside Zetice, his father, and then Salaphertise, the fiancée of Zephyr and granddaughter of the sect master. Oh right, I almost forgot the old lady, Zelethe, Thaletus wife…

Yeah, there is a lot of people in there, so many names to remember and all… I am glad the System always reminds me of their names and keep them all stored. She's the best at remembering all of this for me.

Alongside that, we made a meeting with the Ice Moon Sect Master, who brought two of his trustworthy Elders with him, I specifically asked him to bring the less annoying of them, and also the most obedient, so he brought them.

The meeting took place in a special hall I had prepared inside of Fuyu, and servants constantly brought food and drinks for this meeting. These people were important as they were part of my great Sect Alliance and had become part of my Empire as well.

Benladann was at my side, alongside Miranda.

Meanwhile, Benladra was sitting over a cushion over my lap, looking at everyone domineeringly… mostly she was resisting her awkwardness that she felt when there was a lot of people, but most of the people present thought she was acting domineering, thinking my baby was very powerful and aware of her strength… Well, she IS powerful, but not aware of her power at all.

Alongside my girls, there were also other of my important allies in here, Rakasha, Draugann, Tisha, and Pekora, who were all well-knowledgeable about many things, so they always come in handy when I have curiosity over something.

"I have to thank all of you for coming to this meeting today, I am quite grateful to have such polite people at my side." I said.

"Oh, its nothing, Drake-sama. I was very happy to know you've invited us to your floating castle. This entire place made of this beautiful ice… It is all as if we were inside a fairy tale." Said Mikohime.

"Indeed, this place is pretty beautiful, I have to admit." Said Thaletus.

"Haha, I am happy that you consider the home I've made with a lot of effort as beautiful, I am sure that the castle itself is also happy to hear that." I said.

Suddenly, I noticed that Kokoro was encouraging her son, Shouta, to do something, and then, the boy opened a special inventory bag I had gifted to him way back then and took out something.

I was a lot of boxes decorated with colorful paper and flowers… What is that?!

"A-Anyways, Drake-sama, we brought you some gifts for the baby…" said Shouta shyly.

"Yes, my son helped me pack them up. We wanted to celebrate the beautiful little Benladra's birth." Said Kokoro.

"She's a radiant little dragon girl, I am happy to see her splendorous sight." Said Mikohime.

"Giii?" asked Benladra, while pointing her index finger at the boxes.

"Yeah they're gifts for you." Said Benladann.

"Thank you so much for your gifts, it is really appreciated." I said.

And then, Zephyr also brought gifts in the same manner.

"Our family have also prepared gifts!" he said.

"Oohh!" Benladra looked at the boxes while curiously being surprised.

I was surprised too, this is the first time I see her making that face. Did she knew that gifts are beforehand?

"It seems that the young princess is happy." Said Thaletus.

"Her beautiful splendor is really quite blinding…" said Mikohime.

I didn't even knew that in this world there were gifting customs like these, maybe they were introduced by other people from my previous world?

Nonetheless, we accepted all the gifts, and Benladra began to open them with her sharp claws, taking out whatever was inside.

What we found the mot inside of the gift boxes were clothes, a lot of clothes for Benladra, they were made finely, and even came enchanted with powerful magic, so they were well liked by Benladra.

There were other things as well, such as earrings, bracelets, rings, and more, and even a hairpin in the shape of a pink-colored lotus flower, it was quite pretty.

She quickly wore that and the several accessories, she really liked shiny things.

"She really likes everything, thanks a lot… We didn't even expected to receive gifts…" said Benladann.

"It wasn't really necessary, but we are grateful as well." I said.

"Graaa!" said Benladra, she seemed to agree.

"It is nothing, it was the least we could do for the Emperor's daughter." Said Mikohime.

"Benladra-sama is radiant, so she deserves such gifts." Said Thaletus.

"She's very cute…" said Shouta.

"I've never seen a dragon baby before…" said Zephyr.

The two boys looked at my daughter rather weirdly.

I didn't liked their glare!

"Hahh… I didn't bring any gift."

The Ice Moon Sect Master sighed, as he looked at us with a sorrowful expression.

"Well, it wasn't asked for, so don't sweat it." I said.

"Yeah, don't worry about it, we appreciate having so many good friends at our side, that's all we want anyways…" said Benladann.

My wife's speech made the people around us suddenly feel moved, their eyes glowed brightly. I was the greedy one in here; she was very gentle and nice… Actually she was happy with having a lot of friends. And that's why I love her.
