His Witch , His Queen

Chapter 3

"C.C! " an angry young King angrily made his way to the Royal Library where he could certainly find the person who causes his anguish .

"Here we go again" Sighed Suzaku as he readied himself with another routine of the

young King and his Royal Advisor. It's been a month since C.C was appointed as the Royal Advisor and it has been everyday that an argument will break between the two of them .

" C.C!" the young King called out

" Lelouch , I can hear you loud and clear. There's no need for you to raise up your voice." C.C commented

"Tell me why is THAT creature is in my palace ? more importantly in my CHAMBER?!"

"my dear King, there are many creatures roaming around the palace even you, yourself are considered as a creature. Mind telling me which one are you referring to?" asked C.C mockingly

"you know exactly which one I'm referring to" Lelouch glared

"I'm not a mind reader"

" perhaps you should explain why there is a black fur with whiskers and paws including with claw and a bushy long tail creature is on my bed in my chamber ?"

" It's not called a black fur with whiskers and paws including with claw and a bushy long tail creature. It's a cat "

" I don't care what it's called ! just get it out of my chamber!"

" are you scared of cats ?" asked C.C

" no . I just thought that they are troublesome"

"so , the young King is allergic towards cats"

" I resent that!"

" or maybe that he's just not good with pets"

" What ?! Fine ! I'll prove to you that I'm good with pets !" said Lelouch

" Oh , and how can you do that ? You don't even have any pet."

" I'll find one ! A pet that is much more better than your cat!" claimed Lelouch before storming out of the Royal Library

" How did a simple thing cause this? and what on earth is Lelouch thinking?" said Suzaku who was obviously heard every single thing that

happened

" I just lead him to his fate . He will find himself a very great pet" said C.C

" so you purposely put the cat in his chamber . as expected. but what kind of pet will Lelouch find ? " said Suzaku

" Time will show us and you ..I have a favour to ask of you"

"me?" Suzaku blinked

Meanwhile Lelouch was busy indulging himself with books and more books about animals all around the world

" should I get a tiger ?" Lelouch thought

" no..no .. tiger has same characteristic as a cat . Its just bigger in size"

Lelouch kept on flipping through the pages and finally he found something that catches his attention.

"aha ! this will be perfect ! this can outmatch that witch's cat! ..let's see ..it can only be found at the Solivant cave . Hmm.. that's not far but

it's been a long time ever since people enter the cave . Well at least an owl can fly "

Lelouch quickly grab his sword and made his way to the Solivant cave . On his way , he meet Suzaku .

" Suzaku , what are you doing here ?"

" Well , as your knight I am responsible for your safety"

Suzaku remembered what C.C told him .

" I have a favour to ask from you" said C.C

" me ?" Suzaku blinked

" Lelouch will go to the Solivant cave in search of his 'great pet'"

" how did you.."

" Now what I want you to do is to make sure that he would not bring any weapon into that cave"

"what ?! but how is he going the defend himself if there's any danger?" Suzaku said in disapproval tone

'if you want him to be turn into ashes ,suit yourself" C.C glared which makes Suzaku gulped

Suzaku was worried . How on earth will Lelouch defend if himself if he's not allowed to bring a weapon in ? and moreover what does C.C meant Lelouch turning into ashes ? There's so much question remained unanswered but something about C.C that makes him believe her .

Now he need to think of how to make Lelouch let go of his sword.

To reach the Solivant cave , they must first pass through a river . This was the chance Suzaku waiting for .

" Lelouch , do you want me to hold your sword while you cross the river?"

" A soldier must always bring his own sword"

" A knight must always make sure the King is safe"

" All right , just hand it over after we finished crossing this river" said Lelouch as he handed Suzaku his sword .

Just as both of them finished crossing the river , a bear appear out of nowhere and it seems eager to attack both of them.

" Lelouch run !" shouted Suzaku while taking his stance

" but .."

"don't worry , I won't die that easily. Go!"

Lelouch quickly escape . " At least I manage to make him forget about the sword" said Suzaku .

Lelouch finally reach the Solivant Cave. Lelouch ventured into the cave. As he went deeper , he notices that the surrounding temperature was extremely too low for any normal cave .

" this is odd " he said

He continue his search and he found himself at a spacious space inside the cave . He suddenly saw the creature he was looking for all along . White feathered with wings ..an owl.

" found you " Lelouch wanted to run towards the owl when suddenly he heard a voice.

What's a human doing in my cave?

Lelouch look around and found not even a single person

So did you come to slay me ? I shall not let that happen!

Not long after that , a roared could be heard . Lelouch eyes nearly popped out . Right in front of him stood the mighty dragon with a size as enormous as his palace.

I shall not let you live !

The dragon breath out fire and Lelouch has to take cover behind a huge stone. At that crucial moment , he notices that he left his sword along with him . He cursed himself .

Why are you hiding ? Didn't you seek me in the first place ? Withdraw your sword and fight me !

How is he suppose to fight this dragon let alone kill it ? darn .. he was only looking for an owl to outmatch the witch's cat . It's all the witch's

fault! He needed to think of something ... fast or else he will become ashes .

Boy why aren't you fighting? Are you a wimp?

" I'm not a wimp . I think you have misunderstand me" said Lelouch

Misunderstand ? Me ? Don't be foolish ! You've come to slay me and that why you're here!

" If I did come to slay you shouldn't withdraw my sword and fight you? Besides , I think a sword would never be enough to defeat you"

The dragon calm himself down.

I see. It's seem you're not the same as the others . My apology

"others ? are there others before me ?"

Yes and all of them came in intentions to slay me .

" If you knew why didn't you find another place to live in?"

I was told that I was destined to meet my master here .

" I see. I guess you haven't found him yet"

It seems . I've waited for thousands of years and it seems I shall be continuing to do so. Tell me boy , what are you doing here ?

"I was looking for an owl"

An owl? For what reason do you need an owl?

" well to show a certain witch that I am capable of taking care of pets"

Witch? The Gray Witch ?

The dragon's eyes starts to look all over Lelouch and realized something.

" not really. She's the descendant of the Gray Witch . An annoying one too. I hate her "

The dragon starts to laugh as if it was the most funniest thing to hear. Lelouch raised an eyebrow.

It's seems to me that the spring has come.

"Spring? But it's in the middle of summer "

Not the spring of nature but the spring in you

Lelouch could not understand what's the meaning behind his words .

" I really need to find that owl"

Instead of an owl , would you like a dragon instead ?

" but I thought you were waiting for your master "

Indeed I was but not anymore . I , Metalica , the mighty dragon of all dragon shall pledge my loyalty to you . My wisdom is your shield and my strength is your sword . If the words I said is untrue , I shall die in your hands "

After Lelouch return to his palace with his new pet. Metalica , took the form of a human to enter the palace . If he were to remain at his true form , that would cause chaos .

" I see you found yourself a very interesting pet " C.C commented

" hah , see , I've told you I'm capable" said Lelouch proudly

"sorry for taking your sword away " said Suzaku while C.C was grinning

" It's not your fault . " said Lelouch

" Let me give you a fortune telling " said Metalica towards Lelouch

" Let's hear it" said Lelouch

" The spring is coming soon"

" You've said that before" Lelouch groan

" well I might as well say it again" said Metalica

Oh great , Lelouch thought. His dragon has the same personality as the witch . He should have taken the owl instead .
