Morning arrived and luckily my body didn't really need to rest or I would be acting like a zombie due to lack of sleep.
After putting my armor again, or what was left of it, I went down to the first floor to take a look around.
My first stop was the Princess room.
As I enter I saw she was sleeping while making a pained face and a few tears falling from her eyes. I could help but sit beside her and slowly pet her head for a few minutes. Seeing her smile slowly come back, I thought it was enough and exited the room.
Next stop was the children room. Nothing much to do here, the children were also sleeping heavily and there was no problem in sight.... correction, there was one, what is Ruyk doing here?
Among the children was the Goblin Thief with a pained face. Some children had hugged him as a teddy bear, others slept on top of both his arms. I have no idea how this lolicon goblin got in such a situation but it seemed like he was regretting it very much right now as he had lost the feelings in both arms and couldn't get up anymore. His eyes were screaming for her and just as he was going to scream for her I made a silence sign and left the room.
Honestly I'm not really worried. A lone goblin is unable to do anything against a group of children, but that's not all, I had a talk with him before going to sleep and if he dares to lay his hand on them the chicks will have an extra worm for the meal tonight.
Arriving at the mad dog + twins room, the mad dog glares at me and almost starts to bark but she notices my silence sign while pointing at the twins and holds herself back.
I make another hand sign to follow me and for once she complies. It seems like a good night of sleep has helped her calm down a bit....but just a bit.
Arriving at the farm camp, while she was stunned at the sight, I started talking.
"Your princess is in the room on the right side of the storage over there. She was really tired so she is still sleeping. As for the children, they are on the room over there. There is a goblin with them but he is inoffensive, so leave him alone."
"A goblin!? How can you allow a goblin in the same room as the children!? What if he-"
"As I said! He is inoffensive! If he does anything you can rest assured that he will regret it for life. If you can't trust me, go there and see for yourself, there is nothing stopping you, just don't touch the goblin if he did no wrong."
The mad dog reluctantly agrees.
"Next, more of your elven friends are camping at the entrance. You can go talk to them if you want. I heard your situation from the twins but this place is not a public shelter and I don't do charity work, so unless you can offer something in return, I won't allow any refuge staying here and ask you all to leave today."
The mad dog glares at me but nods anyway.
"Last thing, this place is a Dungeon. The first floor is safe but I can't say the same for the floors above so you all are expressly prohibited from going to the next floor. If you need something, talk to the skeletons, they will call me."
The mad dog couldn't help but show a surprised face after hearing that.
"What? Wait, this is a Dungeon!? You actually let my princess and her people sleep inside a Dungeon!?"
"Yeah, it's my Dungeon, so what's the problem?"
"What do you mean your Dungeon!? Just because you conquered a single floor of the Dungeon it doesn't make it yours! And what if a stampede happen? Are you crazy!?"
"Look, m-girl, you are making a big miss understand here. I-"
"What miss understand!? Don't you know that Dungeon Lords are extremely territorial? The moment it notices our presence the orc army will be the last of our problems!"
"I AM THE DUNGEON LORD DAMN IT!!!"
"AS IF I CAN BELIEVE YOU! DUNGEON LORDS ARE HUGE MONSTROUS ANIMALS! I NEVER HEARD OF A SINGLE HUMAN DUNGEON LORD IN MY LIFE!!!!"
"BUT NOW YOU ARE SEEING ONE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!!!"
"THEN PROVE IT!"
"Building mode!"
[Understood!]
"What did you say?!?"
Spreading a circle of mana around the mad dog, I lift it creating a circular wall with the mad dog inside. After the pilar was complete, I made a hole on it, just enough to uncover her face.
"Are you convinced yet?"
"What? So you can do some fancy earth magic? That doesn't make you a Dungeon Lord!"
God damn it, how can I make her understand!?
"What do I need to do to prove you I'm the Dungeon Lord?"
"Summon a Dragon"
"Fine! As long as you pay the price I can summon a Dragon and even make him play catch the ball with you!"
"....Really!?"
"Yes! But first pay up! 1000000u Mana, 1 seven colors Diamond, 30 tons of gold, 1 Vermilion Rose, 7 Extraordinary Dwarfs, 1 Legendary Sword and 30g of Gaia Essence."
"What kind of price is that!?"
"It's the price to summon a Dragon, you idiot!"
"But there is no way I could pay that price!"
"Then forget about the Dragon!"
The mad dog reluctantly agrees again.
"Fine, but I am still not convinced!"
"You know what? Think whatever you want! I got better things to do!"
Considering the intensity of our fight, I don't doubt we woke up the whole Dungeon, so it was time to check on the Princess again...
"Hey, wait! Idiot! Don't leave me here! At least dispel your magic trick! Hey! Are you hearing me? Hello? Anyone?? Heeeeey!!!!!"
