Dragon King's Harem Chapter 8. Dragon Tribe
Eir waited in front of the king's chamber anxiously along with the several guards, officials and noble dragons. He hadn't dared to enter the room since when he had just opened the door earlier. He could hear Argod and Evelina's moans. To be honest, he didn't expect, Argod not only asked him to set up the training ground but also did it with Evelina after he woke up. This was good news for the dragon tribes, but somehow he was still worried about Argod. Eir knew Argod was always cold to all women, so Eir was worried about whether this first experience would satisfy Argod and make him want to do it again or make him refuse to touch women like he used to.
"Eiron, stop walking around like that. Why are you so worried about the king?" said Duke Cassius, one of the noble dragons there.
Eir stopped, but his face remained restless.
"His Majesty just woke up, of course, I'm worried," he replied.
"He is the strongest dragon king. Worrying about him is futile," said Duke Cassius again.
"I know, but ..." Eir's words stopped. He couldn't possibly say that Argod lost his power after that long sleep, so he used another excuse.
"I'm afraid he's not satisfied with his first experience."
The other noble sighed.
"That's why I always tell him to take another future wife besides Evelina. A dragon king needs several wives to satisfy him. Especially when the full moon arrives. He can have sex all night long without stopping, there's no way a single woman can handle him, "said Chancellor Allan.
"The king has his own thoughts. We can not force him," said Eir.
"But that's okay, at least this is a good start for His Majesty," said Chancellor Allan again.
Minutes passed, feeling they had waited too long. Duke Cassius gestured to Eir to check it out.
"What if His Majesty hasn't finished yet?" asked Eir worriedly.
"You just need to check it from afar," said Duke Cassius.
"Alright ..." Eir gulped hard as his hand opened the door in front of him slowly. After confirming there was no moan sound from them he began to enter slowly.
"Eir, what are you doing there? Come in," I said as I frowned on confusion when I saw Eir sneaking around like a thief. Evelina already tidied up her clothes and helped me into my uniform. My uniform was similar to Eiron's, what distinguished it was a vest that covered my shirt and instead of puff tie, an ascot with a golden crown emblem around my neck. Even with my long tail, Evelina could dress me easily since all Igixar's clothes were made of magic threads.
Eir gasped in surprise and smiled awkwardly.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I thought you weren't done yet."
Hearing that word, I chuckled. While Evelina lowered her head in embarrassment. I hugged her waist casually and pulled her to me.
"Did you hear that? They already know that you are mine," I teased.
Evelina nodded her head in embarrassment as she remembered what we had done.
"Everything is ready, Your Majesty," she whispered.
I released her. She pulled her body away from me.
"Thank you."
She stretched out her trembling hand to her side to take her staff. But she was too nervous, her hand slipped and knocked it forward.
Since Evelina lost her concentration, the staff lost its balance and almost fell. Swiftly, I caught it.
"Be careful. This crystal is the healer tribe's treasure, right?" I returned the staff to Evelina.
And she took it nervously.
"Tha-Thank you." Her mind still felt blank with what had just happened.
Eir breathed a sigh of relief. From that sight, he guessed that everything was going well. He cleared his throat and bowed.
"Your Majesty, I have prepared your request."
I turned to Eir.
"Very well." Then I returned my gaze to Evelina.
"I know you're still tired, but do you mind to accompany me for training today?" If something went wrong with my training, I needed her to heal me.
She smiled.
"I do, Your Majesty."
We walked towards the exit and Eir opened the door as he lowered his head. As we exited the room, the guards and noble dragons bent their knees to greet me.
"Long live, King Argod!"
My steps stopped as awkwardness overtook me. Since this time it wasn't just one or two people kneeling at me but there were more than 20 people there. The guards in their black armour, the officials in the same uniform as Eir and the nobles in the same uniform as me. What distinguishes it was the silver dragon crest of Draconis on their ascot.
'Okay ... What should I do now?' I tried to find what Argod used to do in my memory and got it right away. I waved my hand up elegantly, ordered them to get up. They nodded and stood up.
"Thank you for waiting for me and helping me take care of Draconis," I said in a formal, authoritative voice.
"With pleasure, Your Majesty," they replied. Their eyes trembled in emotion and joy.
I knew there were a lot of questions in their heads, but before they could even make their voices, I spoke again.
"I just woke up and wanted to get some fresh air. I hope you can make way for me," I said in a formal voice. Based on my memory, Argod never used pleading words, such as 'please and help', nor used cursing words like me and rarely said sorry. All he said were orders and demands.
Hearing my words, they swallowed their questions and stepped aside to make way for me.
"Thank you. I'll arrange our meeting after I feel better," I said.
They lowered their heads once again and smiled since it was good news for them. The king had awakened and would take care of all these matters.
"Yes, Your Majesty," they replied.
I nodded slightly and walked past them with Eir and Evelina.
I swept my gaze around as my feet stepped through the luxurious red corridors of the Crimson Flame Palace. The servants and guards bent their heads as I passed them.
'Damn! That's a king for ya. ' This was so awkward for me but I tried to get used to it.
I turned to my side as I passed through an open corridor that clearly exposed Igixar's sky to my side. My steps stopped, my eyes widened and my jaw dropped in amazement. Instead of a sun that shining brightly, 2 suns shining faintly. One was red and one was blue. Their lights combined and created a soft purple sky with white clouds.
'This is amazing ...' I walked over to the side and shifted my gaze at the city view below me.
The Crimson Flame Palace was in the centre of the Draconis Empire's capital, Dragon Cross City. It was a tall hexagon shaped palace dominated by red with a red crystal that shone like fire at the highest tower. Typical medieval buildings with red roofs were around this palace. The city was protected by a strong wall to prevent monsters and other tribe attacks. The four main gates were in the four cardinal directions, with a large bridge extending over a strait to the south. Guard towers with smaller magic crystals around the walls as the city tower defences.
Inside the city, I could see scenes that I thought only existed in games or fantasy books. The city filled with creatures with pointy ears like me with various tails and strange ears. Not only on the road but also in the sky since some of them had wings. In the river, I could see some mermaids sitting on boats that looked like luxury rafts, singing and playing strange musical instruments that looked like harps. While the other creatures watched them and applauded.
'Am I dreaming?' I knew I wasn't dreaming since I was also one of those strange creatures.
"Your Majesty, is there something wrong?" asked Eir in confusion.
I turned to him and returned my expression to normal.
"Nothing. Let's go." I resumed my walk.
