Heavenly Dao Child 216 Arrival at the Banque

Ryuu sighed hard as he wore the ceremonial dress his teachers had gotten him even if it was light and comfortable it was excessive in his opinion, as he did not like wearing Longpao, which even after all this seemd stuffy to him. The silver colored Longpao with Royal Blue colored embroidery on top of it, moreover Ryuu's hair had to be tied up using some form of ornamental hair pins, nope he did not like it according to him it is highly excessive and unnecessary.

Maheswara: "Why such a long face child?"

Ryuu sighed as he spoke, "Why do I have to wear such an excessively stuffy dress?"

Maheswara raised one of his eyebrows as he asked Ryuu, "Stuffy, the dress is made by one of the costliest silk available it should be comfortable."

Ryuu: "Well it is comfortable but I believe it is excessive."

Maheswara smiled at that as he spoke, "Well it might be but remember it is a common psychology that people kind of judge others by their looks manner and dress even before trying to know them, and you are our disciple as such you will be at spotlight as such we made you dress as such, and between you and me I also do not like it, but at that same time I do not wish to be at the receiving end of my beloved wives."

Ryuu grimaced at that, when his own teacher does not want to defy his wives who is he to do so, and the last thing he would wish is getting spanked again, it is so embarrassing.

Ryuu sighed at that as he took out the specially crafted necklace given by his teacher, as he tried to wear it he was stopped by Maheswara, "What are doing Ryuu? You will not need it keep it inside your space ring."

Ryuu looked like he was about to protest, but he was stopped by Maheswara, "Do not worry I doubt there will be some weak minded fools. But where are your teachers and your older sisters we have been waiting for so many hours will they arrive anytime today or the next century."

Ryuu shrugged at that as he spoke, "I do not know but I am so bored."

Maheswara: "Me too child this waiting is so boring."

"What is so boring? My beloved husband.", came a sweet voice of Veena as they turned towards her while Maheswara sweated heavily as he spoke, "Wow my beautiful ravishingly gorgeous wife you look so well in the dress of yours."

Veena appeared wearing a blue colored with silver colored embroidery on it, as well as a bluish hair pin. They did not have to wait much longer as the others appeared each wearing the dress matching with their hair color, like Antariskh golden, with sky blue for Sylvana and black for Shamiran, where as his other too teachers had Cherry red for Nuwa and Royal Purple for Celestia, along with matching hair pins.

Mahewara: "Well since everyone is here then let us leave it is already getting late."

With that Maheswara escorted them to a richly decorated carriage waiting for them, a long red carpet was spread as various maids and guards were on their knees kneeling as they arrived the carriage.

Ryuu whispered loud enough for Nuwa who was near to him to hear him, "I can never understand how such a big flying vessel can be changed to look like simple carriage."

Nuwa whispered low enough for only Ryuu to hear her, "Well because you have yet to learn such arrays, after which such feats will be child's play to you."

Maheswara's family along with Ryuu boarded the carriage as they went to a big room with lots of comfortable chairs, Maheswara took the center most and the biggest of them all as the others took the one around him with Ryuu being on his left most side furthest from Maheswara on that direction.

Ryuu felt as if the entire atmosphere changed, he had witnessed many facets of Maheswara from kind and fatherly to a seasoned warrior, but this was all new to him, this Maheswara was like a proud awe inspiring Celestial Emperor, his golden Longpao which was decorated by blood red colored embroidery and his golden crown on top him presented a rather imposing figure.

Maheswara spoke in a deep voice with a hint of warmth towards Ryuu, "Ryuu, the banquet we will be attending will have various prominent figures from various corners of the Universe, some are our friends and some are simple allies who might desert us if that benefits them and there are a few whom are our enemies, since you are our disciple you will be testes time and again by various people with various agendas, some because of curiosity others simply because they wish to insult us through you."

As he stopped speaking Veena continued from where he left off, "In the banquet, in order to not insult the honor of our host we may not attack each other or creating unwanted commotion but you are different, disciples of various masters would wish to spar with you, but fret not without our express permission you will not have to fight with them."

Ryuu nodded at that, he understood perfectly what would happen when they reach there and if what his master had said is true he will be facing many challenges causing him to grimace at that before his eyes widened as he turned towards Celestia as he spoke, "3rd Mistress is that why you made me wear an armor beneath the Longpao."

Celestia nodded at that as she spoke, "Yes child, oh when you will be there please add the word 'Honorable' along with how you address us."

Ryuu nodded at that as Nuwa spoke this time, "Child, when you are there be polite and respectful to your seniors no matter how despicable they may seem to you, be humble to your peers and be helpful and understanding to your juniors but never lose your pride and never let anyone take advantage of you."

Ryuu nodded as he had a serious expression on his face but inwardly was a different matter, 'troublesome, so troublesome and why did I bother to come here again, ah good food yep just good food I hope all this troublesome and painful things will be worth it.'

The people presented inside the room that is Maheswara and his family had a twitch appearing on their face, seeing him since he was a small child they already knew about his thought process and they did not know how to react.

A couple of hours later a carriage appeared surrounded by thousands of soldiers as it landed on the ground Rishit and his wife Mira both went towards the newly arrived people as Rishit went and gave Maheswara a warm hug as he spoke, "Welcome brother, I hope your journey was well."

Maheswara: "Thank you for your warm welcome brother and yes it was very pleasant for us."

Mira went and greeted Maheswara's wives with a warm smile specially Nuwa, "It has been so long sister, you really are a sight for sore eyes."

Nuwa: "Yes it has been many many millennia since we have been here, we apologize for not arriving here before."

As she spoke Mira's eyes fell on Ryuu who was standing behind his teachers, "Ah who might he be?"

Veena beckoned Ryuu closer who cupped his hands as he gave a small bow as he spoke, "This junior greets Senior."

Mira nodded at that as Veena introduced Ryuu to Mira, "Sister this is our disciple Ryuu."

Mira gave a small smile a she spoke, "Please call me 'Aunty' from now on."

Ryuu nodded as he spoke, "As you wish aunty."

As Ryuu spoke Mira's eyes widen slightly as spoke with small smile while looking towards Ryuu, "I see, I see now why my beloved husband was so excited for your arrival, now it all makes sense a truly great surprise indeed."
