"So from the start you used magic powder to attend the meeting of the seven races?" Steven asked lazily.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Rose answered softly.
"Anything else you're hiding?" Steven interrogates Rose again.
Rose clenched her fists tightly when she heard another question from the dragon race lord. She did not want to answer questions from the king.
"I don't want to repeat the question a second time, Rosalia." Steven whispered gently in the beautiful fairy's ear.
"The necklace I'm wearing is one of our ancestral relics, Your Majesty." Rose bit her lower lip as she revealed the truth of the thing she was wearing.
"Ancestral relics?" Steven smiled gently.
Without a word, Steven forcibly pulled the necklace and crushed it to dust.
"Your Majesty!" Rose screamed when she realized what the man had done.
Ignoring Rose's loud screams, Steven enjoyed the panicked expression that appeared on the fairy's pretty face.
"Listen Rosalia. From now on, you're only allowed to wear what I gave you."
"Don't argue or fight. You don't want to know what I'll do when someone crosses my line." Those absolute words were spoken in such a subtle tone. But it can make someone's hairs stand on end when they hear it.
Rose looked at the man with a piercing gaze. She had tried to be as nice as possible to the man who held the title of ruler of the dragon race. But it all meant nothing to the man.
Just because she was from a weak race, she was always being targeted by other races. Whether it's the woman from the Vampire Race or this man in front of her.
"Your Majesty, have you ever tried to respect others?" Rose used a sharp tone when asking.
"What if I say no?" Stefan answered nonchalantly.
"As a sentient being, you should need the help of others, Your Majesty. Even though you feel very strong right now, there will come a time when you will need the help of others. I hope that you will have more respect for weaker beings, Your Majesty." Rose gave advice as well as poured out her heart.
"Ha ha ha." the man laughed out loud as if he heard something very ridiculous.
However, the laughter gradually turned into a stifling silence. And when their gazes met again, Steven unhesitatingly grabbed the pretty fairy's neck.
"Didn't I tell you not to cross your limits Rosalia. I need you to live until I reach my goal."
"But that doesn't mean I won't kill you if you keep pissing me off." Stevan spoke in a relaxed tone, but his hand gripped the fairy's fragile neck tightly.
"Hhhh... Your... Your Majesty."
"Let go.." Rose struggled to release the man's grip. Her small hands tried to untangle the man's long fingers from her neck.
But what can she do, her weak self is no match for the ruler of the dragon race.
"Very fragile." Stevan loosened his grip as the fairy passed out from lack of oxygen.
"Something so beautiful, it's a shame to have to throw it away so quickly. Besides, if I were to find a replacement, I wouldn't necessarily find anything prettier than this girl." Steven muttered as Rose was still unconscious in his arms.
The man smiled as he kissed the blue birthmark under her closed eyes. The fairy girl had a tear-shaped birthmark on her right eye. And dimples when she smiles.
"Let's go back." Stefan whispered lowly.
A pair of shiny black wings spread out firmly behind the king's back. The man carried the beautiful fairy as he passed through the towering trees.
There was a shield formed in the dead forest after he took the ancient sword lodged in the center of the forest valley. He couldn't take the dragon race's heirloom because so far there had been no energy to sustain the dead forest. This is why the sword of death cannot reveal its form.
Steven flew so high when they made it out of the forest dead. Its black wings led them to the inn they had previously stayed at.
"Welcome back, Master." the butler who had previously witnessed the king's one-sided massacre greeted warmly.
"Give me a room with shield spell protection." Steven ruled.
"Wait a minute, Milord." the maid immediately checked the room with the highest quality that was still empty.
"This way, Milord." the butler hastened to direct his guest to a room that met the king's criteria. Not daring to make the man wait too long.
The butler led Stevan to a room that was located in core of the inn. The room that was actually reserved for the innkeeper was the only room with the shield's spell protection that was still empty.
The owner rarely visited their inn and he had already spoken to the inn manager. That's why he dared to take the man into the innkeeper's room.
"Please rest, Milord."
The butler closed the door after the man entered the room with a girl in his arms. Not daring to interrupt their time, he went straight to the lobby of the inn after he had finished escorting the guest of honor to their room.
Inside the room, Stefan carefully placed the girl on the inn's bed. Taking a bottle from his pocket, Stevan put a medicinal pill on the fairy's pale lips. The girl's neck that looked red from the strangulation marks gradually returned to its original color.
"This is the third time I've helped you."
"And I have a feeling this won't be the last." Steven muttered lowly as his large hand carefully brushed the lips of the still unconscious girl.
Stefan immediately left Rose after finishing his task. He didn't forget to kiss the girl's birthmark which always managed to get his attention before he left.
The man walked lazily as he passed places full of crowds. Several people were seen humiliating a girl who screamed for help. Stefan didn't give a second glance as he passed them.
Unfortunately, the beautiful girl from the Dragon Race noticed a handsome man with a strong atmosphere walking past her.
"Master, help me."
"I'm willing to do anything if you save me." the girl pleaded with her beautiful face which had some sparkling tears.
Making her already beautiful face look pathetic. Some people even sympathized with the girl and wanted to risk their lives to save her.
Unfortunately, the dragon lord had just seen a stunning beauty cry in despair not too long ago. Made him frown because he felt that the girl clinging to his robes looked very ugly in his eyes.
"Take it off." Steven said coldly. There was no lazy and playful tone when he looked at the girl. There was only palpable disgust.
The girl was taken aback by the pressure emanating from the man. Frightened, she immediately let go of her hand which was still holding the man's robe.
"It turns out that the girl met a handsome hero."
"Did you manage to capture a man's heart with your face or the sway of your hips."
"Hahaha.." the people who were harassing the girl laughed very loudly.
"Master hero, are you willing to trade your life for this beauty?" a large man blocked Steven's path.
"Get out of the way." Steven said bored.
"Hahaha. You hear, this snotty brat said that he fell in love at first sight." that person said impudently to the king of their own race.
"Hey young master.." a man from the group wanted to poke Stevan's cheek. But before that, the young king of the dragon race had caught the dirty hand that wanted to land on his noble body.
"Let go!"
"You rancid brat!" The person who was the leader of the harassment said loudly when he couldn't pull his hand away.
"Let go? Of course." Stefan smiled coldly.
"Ahhhh .." sharp screams were heard by the crowd. The person who screamed was in pain because Steven cut off his arm. The king then threw the piece of hand next to the owner's body.
"Didn't I tell you to get out of the way. You guys just won't listen. Now, I don't want to go. You have to cheer me up, don't you?" Steven spoke slowly. It made people shudder.
