Chapter 104: Look for a Dark mage

" Wow, master ....I don’t have any words to say," Jesse who entered the room after the Queen asked him to stare at his master who was cuffed and lying on the bed with a gag. " I didn’t know that you were this ....wild?"

Cian glared at him and his aide realising the threat he was under —- immediately shut his mouth and helped him up. Because Bree didn’t want to torment Cian anymore she handed the key to the cuffs to Jesse who opened the cuffs without letting his master suffer anymore, once Cian was free of his bounds, he sat up straight and spat out the handkerchief that was stuffed in his mouth.

The blanket fell because of his sudden movement unveiling the bunching muscles and ripped abdomen. Chest heaving with anger, he crumpled the handkerchief in his hands, he wasn’t going to forget this humiliation ever in his life!

" Have you heard——"

" The fourth consort——"

" He was..."

Thanks to Jesse and his big mouth the entire palace found out what happened (not) between him and the Queen and now Cian could pick up the thrilling stories that were spreading all over the place, as people pointed at him and talked in a hushed tone.

Though he didn’t get what he wanted at least he was able to make the people of the palace understand that he was still the consort of the Dragon Queen and was someone who should be respected.

As another row of servants bowed to him, Jesse who was walking behind gushed with unbridled happiness. " I am so glad that you are back, master. I knew you had in you, as long as you try hard... you will be able to seduce anyone you want. Crown prince will be so happy upon finding that you have regained your status."

Cian damn near snorted. He might as well have tried to seduce a duck last night because at least then his success rates would have been higher when compared to Bree who was completely unaffected by his powers, face and body.

It was as if she couldn’t care less about his face and everything.

" By the way, how far is Cordelia’s place from here?" asked Cian as they crossed the boundary wall that separated the consorts palace from the Queen’s and stepped inside the territory that only belonged to the Dragon Queen.

" Not that far," answered Jesse. "It’s just around the greenhouse, apparently Miss Cordelia likes flowers just like you master."

Of course, she did.

" But I have to say that you played well, master." As they walked past the corridor that had an open end and headed straight to the patches of fields where vegetables like tomatoes and whatnot were growing. " Asking the Queen to favour you in return for your help. It was a good plan!"

Cian hummed but inwardly he was grinding his teeth. What played well? He was the one who was played like a fool!

Ignoring the way his body twisted and whined about the lack of ’ vitamin Bree’, Cian headed to the fountain of dew and raised his hand to knock on the door but then the door opened without him knocking and a pleasant voice drifted out from the inside. " Come in, I was waiting for you."

" You stay here," said Cian as he looked at Jesse who nodded his head in response and turned to stand at the entrance. Leaving his aide behind Cian headed inside the building and sucked in a breath as he called, " Cordelia?"

Silence.

And then a water whip crashed against him, if not for his quick senses and speed he would have been hit right across his face but even after dodging the whip, he wasn’t that lucky because a second later, he felt someone smack him at the back of his head causing Cian to yelp. " Ouch, grandma what are you doing?"

Cordelia who was dressed in a frilly dress huffed before walking toward her chair. " Now, you know to call me grandma? You really have too much guts boy, even your great grandfather didn’t have the guts to call me by my name."

Rubbing the back of his head, he looked at Cordelia who just so happens to be his great great great great grandmother. In fact, apart from a few beings, she was the mother of every sea creature of this world, thus, it wasn’t hard to find his half brothers whenever he went to Bellion. There was one time when an old man who was more than four hundred years old who called him ’big brother’, giving him the scare of his life.

" I was just trying to play along with you, grandma," said Cian sheepishly as he took a seat in front of Cordelia. " You don’t want anyone to know that you are my grandmother, so all I can do is play the role that you gave me. Otherwise, how dare I call my beautiful and strong grandma by her name?"

Cordelia glared at him clearly unhappy but then she snapped her fingers and a nymph stepped out of the pool serving them tea and cookies. " I wish you paid that much attention to something else instead of flattering others."

" But you are not someone else, you are my lovely grandma."

"Oh would you please stop," said Cordelia looking at him with a stern expression but she looked slightly mollified. She took a sip of her tea, and she continued, " Anyway, I see that your seduction skills have gone down a notch boy, everyone is talking about how you did a great job last night but I can see that you were made a fool by the Queen."

Cian stiffened but he brushed the question by changing the topic. " Did you call me for something, grandma?"

Cordelia raised her head from the teacup and then looked at Cian who nervously blinked his eyes but sighed when she didn’t ask him anything further. " Yes, there is something important, that I need to discuss with you."

" What is it?" asked Cian.

" I want you to look for a dark mage."
