Dragon King's Harem Chapter 6. Can You Change My Clothes?
- Clek!
The opening door sound startled me.
A man with messy silver hair in his 20s stiffened at the entrance. His friendly face looked shocked and his brown eyes widened. He was a little different from me, even though that guy had a dragon tribe's tail and pointed ears, he didn't have horns like me. He wore a black shirt with a black blazer. A Dragon crest of the Draconis Empire threaded in white was on his left chest and a puff tie around his neck. It was the Draconis Empire's official uniform.
With all of Argod's memories passed on to me, I recognized that man as my trusted assistant, Eiron Magus Qiendum. I glanced on the status above his head.
[Name: Eiron Magus Qiendum]
[Level 76]
[HP: 3785/3785]
[Mana: 739/739]
'Shit! Even my assistant's level and strength far above mine, 'I thought but I swallowed my annoyance and kept my cool.
"It's been a while, Eir," I called Eiron's nickname without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, you're awake ..." Eir muttered with a smile. He looked out of the room.
"Tell the others, His Majesty is awake and summoned the royal healer here!" Then Eir came to me with a happy smile, knelt one knee and lowered his head as his greatest form of respect.
"Your Majesty, I'm glad you're awake."
I walked over to a nearby sofa and plopped myself into it.
"Raise up," I remembered Argod had already told 2 people that after he woke up he would lose his power due to the curse. They were Eiron and the royal healer, Evelina.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Eir stood up.
"How long have I been sleeping?" Based on my memories, Argod put himself into a coma on purpose to fight the curse.
Eir raised his head and looked at me with teary eyes.
"10 years, Your Majesty."
'10 years ... That's a long battle. ' One for sure, with the king's absence for 10 years there would be a lot of work waiting for me. Besides that, I also had to know what happened while I was in a coma. But even though I wanted to take care of everything, I knew I couldn't handle anything now. I had to collect my power first, because if the other tribes found out that I was weakened, they wouldn't hesitate to attack my tribe.
"What happened while I was sleeping?" I asked.
Eir's heart skipped a beat since too much had happened in the past 10 years. The Minotaur tribe's attack on the border, the Witch Tribe's discontent because they weren't allowed to meet Argod, the Undead Tribe's suspicious movements and many more.
"A lot has happened, Your Majesty. But we handled it well. There's nothing urgent to deal with right now." Although they went through hard times during their king's absence, Eir and the noble dragons always tried their best to take care of everything. The dragon tribe was a strong tribe that always submitted and was loyal to their king. That's why this tribe was considered as the strongest tribe in Igixar. Some problems still required Argod's intervention, but at least they could delay it until the king was ready to handle them.
"That's good," I said. Even though the words 'a lot has happened' was not a good sign, at least the words 'there's nothing urgent' made me little calmer.
'I have to take this opportunity to level up.'
When that thought crossed my head, the knocking sound followed by the opening door sound came.
* Knock * * Knock * * Knock *
A blonde long-haired woman entered the room. Her pointed elf-like ears poked out of her hair and a purple tiara on her forehead. Her green eyes looked at me gently. A long purple dress with a high slit on one side, showing her beautiful thigh and leg clearly. A staff with white crystal in her hand.
I recognized her as the princess of the healer tribe as well as my royal healer and my future wife, Princess Evelina Lavinia Iaoth.
[Name: Evelina Lavinia Iaoth]
[Level 61]
[HP: 2520/2520]
[Mana: 1039/1039]
'Right ... I'm the only weak one here.' Somehow I got really annoyed by the fact that I was too weak compared to my status as a king.
"Your Majesty ..." Evelina whispered. A blush and a smile on her face. She walked and stopped in front of me.
"Your Majesty, I am glad you are awake," she said as she lowered her head.
I replied with a slight nod.
"Since you are here. Can you examine my condition and make sure I'm ready to fight?" I knew I just woke up from my long sleep, but I couldn't waste my time and must prepare myself immediately. But using my new body to fight without any examination would be stupid.
Hearing those words, Eir and Evelina looked at me in shock, they didn't expect me to be prepared to fight as soon as I woke up.
I frowned.
"Is there something wrong?"
"No, Your Majesty," replied Evelina. She extended her hand and a white light glowed on her palm.
As Evelina examined me, I turned to Eir.
"Prepare the training ground for me." The training ground was the first thing that crossed in my mind to raise up my level as well as learn to fight. That place was still inside the palace and only certain people could enter it.
Eir bowed.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Then he left.
After Eir left my room, I turned my gaze to Evelina who was still closing her eyes to examine me.
"How is it?" I asked.
Evelina opened her eyes, her forehead creased in confusion. Previously, she had guessed that the king was not doing well, so she predicted that he would need some adjustments. But unexpectedly, his condition was so good, even the curse disappeared without a trace. Slowly, a happy smile appeared on her lips.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. That Curse has disappeared without a trace. You are ready to fight."
"Good." At least I knew I could check out my current strength and my limits without any problem. I got up from my seat.
"Can you help me to change my clothes?" I said in a nonchalant tone as I walked to the wardrobe beside the bed.
Evelina was stunned in shock.
"Cha- Change your clothes?" she said in a stammering voice with blushing cheeks. As long as she accompanied Argod, he never asked her to do that.
I took a king's uniform from it and threw it on the bed.
"Yes. You were sent here as my future wife, right?"
The Healer tribe was a peaceful tribe. They had extraordinary healing power and lack of fighting power. Therefore, what they could do in this dangerous world was to give a princess to a strong tribe king as proof of their alliance. In return, the king who received the princess had to protect that tribe. But unfortunately, even though Evelina had been by Argod's side for years, he was too afraid to touch her because of the curse. Argod had never touched a woman before because he was afraid that the curse would be passed on to his offspring. He knew that his son would no longer be able to hold the curse and would become the new Dark Lord. Whereas a royal dragon could only have one descendant that would inherit the previous royal dragons' memories. After that child was born, no matter how much he slept with women, they would not bear his child. Besides that, even though a dragon king could sleep with any woman, only royal descendants could bear his child. That's because a dragon king's seeds were so strong and needed a strong vessel as his mother.
Seeing that Evelina was silent in shock, I continued.
"I think it's time for you to get used to it."
"Bu-But I think this is too sudden ..." Hearing Argod who used to be cold to her suddenly asking her to do that made Evelina's heart pound fast.
"I'm just asking you to change my clothes. Don't be too nervous," I tried to calm her down. In Igixar, husband and wife's status became legal when the man slept with the woman and with Argod's status as a dragon king, he could sleep with any woman he wanted. But while the curse was still in his body, Argod refused almost all the women who approached him, it made the other tribes think bad about him. That's why, I wanted to change it. At least this way I could reduce the other tribes' dissatisfaction and avoid problems.
Evelina approached me and released her hand from her staff. The staff remained in position and floated in the air even though nothing was supporting it as if waiting for Evelina to take it back. Her heart was beating even faster. Her hands approached in hesitation. She averted her gaze and her cheeks grew even redder.
As I noticed Evelina's hesitation and shyness, I let out a silent chuckle. When I was a prostitute, none of my clients was shy like her.
'I think this is a face only a virgin can make.'
"Don't be afraid," I tried to calm her down once again.
Even with my words, Evelina's nervousness did not fade. She untied my coat. My night coat opened and showed my body clearly to her. But she didn't dare to look or even glance at it. She even lowered her head.
I put my hand on Evelina's chin and shifted to me, making her unable to look away.
"I'm sure you already know about my prime time. Since the curse is gone, I wouldn't hold myself if my instincts took over." After turning 200 years old, a royal dragon would enter his prime time. At that time, his mating urge was higher than before. It was because of his instinctive urge to continue his offspring. And in the worst case when his mating urge peaked he would have a hard time controlling himself.
"I know but ..." Evelina glanced at my body, her eyes catching the beauty of a dragon king's body as a warrior. Somehow she wanted to touch it, instead, she turned her face away again in embarrassment.
"Do you want to touch me?" I guessed what she was thinking from her expression.
"I - I ..." Her nervousness was obvious since Argod had never asked that before.
"Ahh!" Evelina let out a startled cry as I pulled her body into my arms, her soft breasts pressed against my body and her ear pressed against my chest. My hand was on her waist and my other hand was holding her wrist.
"Yo-Your Majesty ..." she whispered in a stammering voice.
I ignored her nervousness and made her hand touch my chest and travel down to my abs. Her soft skin touched my body. While Evelina could only be silent, trembling. She felt like her heart was about to explode.
"See? It's not that hard," I whispered. But suddenly, an announcement appeared in front of me.
[New essence detected!]
[Healer tribe's essence]
[Do you want to extract it?]
[Yes] [No]
I glanced at Evelina who was in my arms.
'Does that mean I can take power from different tribes? What's gonna happen if I absorb her essence? ' I tried to find out what would happen from my memory but nothing.
'I have no other choice but to give it a try.'
'Yes.'
[Essence Absorption initiated ...]
[Dragon mating urge will trigger in 60 seconds.]
'What the hell ?! I want to absorb her essence, not make my successor! '
'Cancel!'
[Skill cannot be cancelled.]
'Wait ?! What ?! How could essence absorption be done by having sex ?! This is bullshit! ' I started to panic since I wasn't sure Evelina was ready to do it.
[Essence Absorption from other people will be done by having sex. Essence Absorption from sacred places will be carried out by magic formation.]
I was silent in shock seeing that information. But a second later, my panic disappeared as my Fearless skill suppressed it. Argod's words repeated in my head.
'I know you are suitable for this duty.'
I sighed.
'That's why he said that ...' I just found out that essence absorption skill and the Dragon King's power had something to do with the royal dragon's instincts. I smirked.
'Then it's showtime.'
Note : Argod can only have 1 child in his lifetime. That child will inherit the previous royal dragon's memories. After the previous dragon king died, his power will enter his son's body.
