The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1134: Karl’s Dana

The other three were given dresses in the same style, but different colours, so that you could tell that they were together, but not identical.

All four dresses had the Darklight Host’s black and white emblem on the left sleeve, in case anyone could miss that they were spoken for. But Karl suspected that the eight Dragonkin would not be willing to let them wander unattended. They were extremely protective of their ’little sisters’.

[Rae, I have a big plan for today. Do you think that you can help me make it work out?] Karl asked.

There wasn’t any better moment, and he had been putting this off for far too long. It would probably come as a huge shock to Dana, but Karl was confident that Rae would help, and that Dana would say yes.

Once the bunnies were finished with their outfits, Rae motioned for Dana to get up.

”We’re throwing a party, you need a new dress as well.” Rae announced.

”We’re having a party?” Karl asked, feigning ignorance as they silently plotted their next moves.

”Yes, my chronologically impaired friend, we have a major milestone to celebrate. We have skipped far too many birthdays, but now both you and the Dana Mage are over eighteen, while both me and Thor have our hatching day coming up.

Four is a big age for Cerro.

Well, Thor might not be a Cerro anymore, but it’s still a big age. If he were a Cerro, this would be the year that he hit his full adult growth.” Rae explained.

”Oh, that is a big one. You’re right, I shouldn’t have forgotten that.” Karl agreed.

Rae winked at Dana, who realized that the Spider had made the event up on the spot so that she had an excuse to continue her work.

Then Rae got a flash of inspiration. ”We need to have a mating ceremony! Yes, that is perfect. I will talk to the Lala bunnies about the details. Now, get naked and raise your arms to the side so I can work.”

Dana stared at her, not moving.

But Karl moved to stand behind her.

”What do you think? Would you like to mate, my lovely Dana Mage?” He whispered in her ear, then smirked as Dana’s face flushed bright red.

While she was distracted, Karl took a platinum Ring from his pocket and used [Earth Manipulation] to quickly add runes to it. It wasn’t easy to get all the runes for [Life Link] onto the band of the ring, but she was so shocked by the sudden tag team of distractions that Karl was already sliding the ring on her finger by the time that her brain recovered.

Karl turned her to face him, and Dana’s eyes filled with happy tears as she saw him on one knee, then noticed the ring on her finger.

”Dana, will you marry me?” Karl asked as she stood frozen.

Cara laughed from her pile of loot as she ate popcorn.

[Ooh, this is good, you broke the Dana.]

[You totally screwed up the order of operations.] Thor noted.

[It’s going to work.] Remi insisted.

[Maybe if we add more sparkles?] Opal offered.

[Dana Mages only get excited about Karl and new magic. This should work.] Hawk disagreed.

A thousand possibilities flashed through Dana’s mind.

The difference in their growth rates.

The centuries of life ahead of them.

All the new places to see, when they were still on very different levels.

The fact that Rae was impatiently waiting for her to undress so that she could start on what was totally not a wedding dress.

Dana was sure that she could feel Cara watching them from somewhere, but she tuned that all out. She loved this crazy little family, and she couldn’t see herself giving up on Karl to go another route.

”Yes. Yes. I will.” She agreed, and flung herself in Karl’s arms.

[I’m going to have to wait to make the dress, aren’t I?] Rae mentally complained, then silently Shadow Stepped out of the room to leave Karl and Dana alone.

Even Cara left her space to go play with the gargoyles. They could use a bit of privacy for this part. And a reinforcement of the soundproofing spells in the bedroom.

Tessa and Thor were relaxing on the sofa, reading the same novel, when Cara appeared with a tray of snacks, which brought Lotus and the bunnies right behind her.

They were eating those before the badger stole them.

”What’s got Cara all worked up today, I haven’t seen her this smug in a while.” Tessa asked.

”The Karl is mating Dana.” Thor replied proudly.

”They do that fairly often.” Tessa reminded him.

Rae flicked Thor on the head. ”He means that Karl asked Dana to marry him. We set up the perfect ambush when I was dressing the Lala bunnies.”

Lotus squealed in joy and turned to run up the stairs before Rae caught her.

”You can congratulate them later. They are busy now.”

Lotus grabbed Rae by the hands and spun her in circles. ”Good work, excellent work. I didn’t think that they would ever get around to it. But an ambush proposal? That had to be your idea.”

Rae frowned. ”He sprung the trap too early. I had an outfit in mind.”

”Don’t you think that would have given it away?” Lotus asked as she stopped spinning around Rae.

Rae shrugged. ”I will just ask Opal to edit it when she makes the replay.”

”Opal isn’t watching everything that happens in the house, is she?” Tessa asked, suddenly concerned.

Rae smirked. ”Opal sees everything.”

[I always liked this part of the Romance books. Steamy, spicy, all the good stuff.] Opal agreed.

Tessa gave Rae a suspicious look, not sure if she was liking the implications of that. But the Lala bunnies were all laughing and poking each other, while making quiet jokes about all the silly things they had done since they settled into their new rooms.

Rae’s suspicions were confirmed. Bunnies really were too pure for this world.
