Unlike Zaros who immediately entered Andrew’s office, Crhono did not go straight in. The dragon ancestor was respectful and arrived at the entrance of Cannes Palace like any normal visitor.

Andrew immediately noticed this upon arrival and was surprised that such a powerful being arrived without a hint of arrogance. He even noticed that, within Cannes Palace, the dragon ancestor did not seem restrained.
In this place, Andrew is almost invincible, practically a god. Even Zaros would have no way to oppose Andrew, he would have to flee if a conflict broke out or he would not be a rival, but Crhono was different.
Only a god or a spirit would have a chance to mediate Andrew within his temple on equal terms and Crhono was giving him this feeling. That made Andrew alarmed, but Pelusa reassured him.
She told him to observe him well and it was thanks to that that he could see that the old dragon had no bad intentions, so he relaxed a little, but not too much. This did not change the fact that he was a threat in the only place he considered safe.
Andrew did not make him wait long, as the dragon had been respectful to him, so he could not be disrespectful. He immediately went out to greet him. The employees were surprised by the arrival of the old man, but they knew nothing about him.
And when Andrew came out in person to greet him, everyone was even more surprised. Not even the Pixoy family received this treatment, so they immediately understood that this old man was not ordinary.
"Greetings, old man. I appreciate you agreeing to my request," said Andrew bowing respectfully. He did not do it out of humility, but because the old man deserved this respect. The old dragon looked at Andrew and showed a slight smile.
"Young Andrew is very kind," said the dragon gently and Andrew immediately said, "It is not good to talk here. Follow me." In this way they went to the office, leaving everyone stupefied by Andrew’s attitude towards the old man.
Immediately, everyone who witnessed this, engraved in their minds that this old man was someone who should not be offended. Once in the office, Carmen entered and served tea to everyone.
The old dragon looked at Carmen and was surprised. She was not powerful, but he could see the different divinities that blessed her and that surprised him. Andrew noticing this, said, "Mother Carmen is our foster mother and the guardian of our children."
Carmen did not understand the reason for Andrew’s introduction, but she smiled warmly because she was happy with how she was treated in this place. She had never been a mother, but everyone here considered her one.
That was not something to be taken lightly, because she knew who Andrew was. He was the only person who knew Andrew’s secrets, without having any seal with her, that was how great was the trust in her.
In addition, she loved Andrew’s children and the others, so, betrayal was out of the question. Crhono looked at Carmen again and respectfully said; "That is wonderful. Greetings to you, Mrs. Carmen."
Carmen was surprised by the warm greeting and could only bow and say, "I am not old enough to receive such a greeting from the gentleman." They both smiled calmly and then Carmen left.
"You found a wonderful lady as a mother, Mr. Andrew," said Crhono as he watched Carmen leave the room. Andrew smiled in gratitude and then, becoming serious, asked, "So, can you tell me the details?"

Crhono understood what Andrew meant and did not hide anything. He explained again everything that Zaros had told Andrew before but from his perspective. This was not to see if there were any traps, just that Andrew wanted to understand everything.
After Crhono finished telling his story, Andrew nodded and asked, "So, these demigods want to take advantage of me, right?", to which Crhono replied, "Young man, I’m afraid that’s what we all want to do."
"Zaros, Elidyr, and I are indeed more permissive, but we actually want to use you too, just not restrict you. The case of the others is still unclear, and we don’t know if there are any traitors either," Crhono said.
His honesty pleased Andrew. It’s not that he didn’t understand it, but it was very different from those who schemed behind his back. He preferred to deal with straightforward people like Crhono, Zaros, and Elidyr who had declared their intentions from the start.
Furthermore, their goals aligned, so there was no need for conflict. Andrew wanted to continue the conversation, but suddenly, a warm light emanated from his chest.
This surprised everyone, except the old dragon. Seconds later the light disappeared and before them was a woman who looked like an ethereal vision, as if she had stepped straight out of an unforgettable dream.
Her long, silver hair fell in shimmering cascades, like moonlight threads, to the middle of her back, reflecting the light with a soft glow that seemed to change with every movement.
Her curves were sculpted with a perfection that defied all logic, a harmony of grace and strength that drew glances like an irresistible magnet. Her face was the epitome of divine beauty, with delicate features but charged with an imposing presence.
Her lips, full and perfectly defined, formed a light smile that mixed mystery and confidence. Her eyes were two fiery rubies, a scorching contrast to her pale skin, capturing and dominating the air around her with hypnotic intensity.
Atop her head, a pair of silver fox ears peeked out from her hair, moving with an almost imperceptible subtlety that betrayed her attention to every detail of her surroundings. They were elegant, upright, and seemed to sharpen her already extraordinary image.
But what truly made her a sight impossible to ignore were the nine fox tails that emerged from her lower back. Silver like her hair, each one was long, fluffy, and perfectly symmetrical, moving with its own grace, as if they were extensions of her will.
The tails shone softly, emitting a silver glow that seemed to envelop her in an aura of magic and power. When she moved, it was as if she were dancing; each step she took was a combination of elegance and strength, leaving behind an almost electric sensation as if the air itself knelt before her presence.
There was something about her, in her essence, that spoke of an ancient power, of a force that only the bravest would dare to face, but that everyone wished to understand. Everyone was surprised by her appearance, but the old dragon was calm, and looking at the beautiful woman, he stood up and bowed and said, "Greetings to the noble divine beast."
Her words surprised everyone even more and Andrew could not contain himself and exclaimed, "Fluffy!", to which the fox girl responded by turning to him with a gentle smile and said, "So after seeing me you still address me by that name."
