I Have Seven Dragon Souls In a cultivation world

"Calm down?" as asked lloyd with an incredulous expression

"You want me to calm down? Have you heard the rumours that the bastard has been spreading? He dares lie and slander the royal family. And it is not just me who has suffered Uncle Marcus. you should know as the head of the department of governance just how much backlash the government officials are facing from not only the commoners but even the king himself!"

"To make matters worse the rumours and accusations floating around are just fabricated accusations!" As if to prove just how furious Lloyd was, sparks and crackles of thunder seemed to engulf the entire room.

Faced with the outburst of Lloyd, Department Head Marcus couldn't help but frown.

"Lloyd, you better than anyone should know just how useless facts are. Whether something is true or false is not determined by what has happened but rather by how many people believe it. Lloyd, you have been bested this time but this doesn't mean you will be bested again. As long as we prepare properly we won't have to suffer such insults again. But that is only if you remain cool headed."

As soon as Lloyd heard this it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his head.

To be frank, LLoyd was not normally such a hot tempered person. As the first in the succession race Lloyd was a cool headed person that had stepped on and outwitted manty to get to his current position. If he was a hot-headed arrogant fool he would have been cast aside or defeated long ago. It's just the fact that Dante had fabricated a complete lie to slander him and was actually succeeding had truly driven his nerves to the breaking point.

But that was all just a momentary expression of frustration. With Marcus's words, Lloyd had already come back to his senses as his eyes, that used to be burning with rage, morphed into those that only simmered with a cold fury that was just as intense but even more deadly.

Seeing the swift change in his disciple, Marcus couldn't help but let off a rare smile

"Good." said Marcus, nodding in satisfaction.

"Now you've calmed down, you should know what to do next.

."Master you are right. To be honest, I've been underestimating that bastard called Dante. He's a monster that can't be judged with plain common sense. And it's not just Dante that I underestimated, that bitch of a sister shouldn't be looked down on now that she's somehow gotten a foothold in the Hidden Dragon Academy. Originally I was planning to take things slow in regard to  the Hidden Dragon Academy" said Lloyd.

"But I'm afraid that plan can not be followed any longer. The two neutral departments of the academy and their subsequent Dragon Sons, we must bring them over to our side, no matter the cost. Only then will i be able to deal with that bastard Dante and give him the most wretched death possible"

With that Marcus and Lloyd began their discussion, plotting black and forth between them.

On the other side of the city, the major player in their discussion, Dante was completely oblivious to what was going on and sat comfortably in the carriage on the way to the academy.

As he was sitting in the carriage, Date could be seen scratching his ear as he finally relieved himself of the itch that had been tormenting for a while now. Date spent the rest of the journey idly passing time until they finally arrived at the academy.

As soon as Dante stepped out of his carriage,carriage, he could feel the countless gazes incoming in his direction.

Seeing this, Dante just sighed.

It seemed like the countless judgmental looks that had only calmed down a few weeks ago had increased to an even higher intensity. But what could Dante do? After all,this was only the consequence of his own actions in spreading the outlandish rumours.

Realising this,this, Dante just shook his head as he headed to class.

Sitting down in his seat in the classroom, Dante tried his best to ignore the countless whispers around him when he suddenly felt a hand slam into his back.

"Haha! Dante have you seen how famous we've become thanks to you?" laughed Lennox

"Back at my clan my old man couldn't stop bragging, you should see the twisted face on those lousy elders!"

Unlike Dante,Dante, who seemed to find the excessive attention slightly annoying, Lennox seemed to be loving every second of it. But the the same couldn't be said for every member of Date's party.

As Klent walked in he shot the boasting Lennox a completely disgusted look before glaring daggers into the eyes of everyone present.

You didn't even need to ask to know that the attention had brought Klent quite the bit of trouble. He was neither the Dragon son of war nor the son of a prominent clan,clan, so the number of challenges he received from people trying to find some fame should not have been few.

Dante just looked at the favoured son of heaven with a slight sense of pity in his eyes.

'To suffer the constant attacks of brainless mobs is truly the fate of a protagonist.' thought Dante.

'Well,Well, at least not me though,' thought Dante chuckling to himself.

As if sensing Dante's amusement at his current situation, Klet quickly snapped in his direction. Although Klet wasn't 100% certain, his sixth sense was telling him that Dante definitely had something to do with his current situation.

Turning his head towards Dante, Klent sent him a desperate look.

Although no words were said, Date could clearly make out the intention of his eyes

'Hey! You caused this situation,situation, so help me out here!'

But to Klent's dismay,the only result of his efforts was Dante turning in the other direction,direction, awkwardly avoiding his eyesight
