Dragon King's Harem Chapter 129. The Prince of Nymph Tribe's Letter

Note: I changed Jyne's brother's name to Arter

After accompanying Marissa for about 15 minutes, I ordered the maids to escort her to the guest room. Then I quickly took a bath and changed my clothes into proper ones.

In a hurry, I strode through the corridor to my office. I knew I had to welcome Prince Arter to the main hall, but I couldn't help but be curious about Marissa's father's letter.

"Your Majesty," the guards, who were standing in front of my office, bowed.

I replied with a simple nod and walked into my office without saying a word. My hand closed the door behind me and my eyes drifted to the room.

The evening suns light broke through the windows, illuminating the room which was dominated by dark red with golden ornaments. Some bookshelves were arranged neatly around that big room, a big desk with intimidating stacks of documents on one side of the room. A huge luxury carpet covered the floor.

Taking a deep breath, I walked over to the intimidating pile of documents and examined them without messing up the stack, hoping to find the letter quickly. Although... I was not sure about that. To be sure, if I didn't find it within half an hour, I would have to postpone this and head to the main hall to see Prince Arter.

Minutes passed. My hands took letter after letter. My eyes scanned to find out who the sender was. Either from the name or the seal.

'Gotcha!' I grinned, staring at a letter with a red wax seal that was thicker than the others. The crest of the Nymph tribe at the end made me believe it was from Marissa's father.

Running out of time, I quickly opened the letter and read it. As I read it, my frown was getting clearer on my forehead.

The letter explained why the Prince of Nymph tribe sent Marissa to Draconis instead of the Duke of Dwarf tribe. With his family status as traitors, the Prince knew the Queen would hunt Marissa wherever she went. Moreover, the Queen already knew Marissa knew what had happened. The cabin in the middle of the forest could provide temporary protection for her, but not forever. After all, he couldn't possibly let Marissa stay there forever and die alone. So... He asked me to protect her legally. In other words, he asked me to marry Marissa.

Although I didn't mind, Marissa's case was different from that of Jyne and Evelina who fell in love with me from the start. Her case was more like Sela's. The difference was, the real Argod had asked for Sela from The Dwarf King directly so he couldn't take her or pick her up without permission. Of course, the long hibernation was an exception. Besides that Sela had lived with Argod for a long time and their relationship was quite close.

But Marissa... Her relationship with Argod was just an acquaintance. They had only met a few times. Moreover, Argod spent more time with her father than her. So even with this letter, I was not sure she would give herself to me willingly. To make it worse, marriages at Igixar only became legal after we had sex.

'How do I tell her?' I was not worried about her answer since she had no other choice but to grant her father's last wish, but her feelings were a different matter.

Apart from that request, the letter also explained the Queen's plans. The Queen would not only use one but several types of poisons. She planned to spread it by air and water, making sure no one survived there. Besides that, she planned to give the Dwarf King some kind of psychotropic to make him crazy and hallucinating. With that combination, the Queen could destroy the Dwarf tribe from inside and outside. Also blamed the king as the cause of the destruction of his own tribe. A perfect and horrific plan. Moreover, she didn't need an army to do it. That was why they needed more time to develop the poison. The Prince of Nymph tribe also said in his analysis that if this worked, there was a big possibility that the Queen would use it to attack other tribes.

The Prince also gave me reasons why I couldn't refuse his request to marry Marissa. He said Marissa had mastered the tome of medicine and poison. So she could help me to make the antidote.

My brain was trying to figure out how to find a solution for this. I could just go to the Nymph tribe and search the poison manufacturing site openly. But if the queen had moved the location, it would be tantamount to ruining my reputation. It would be difficult to meddle in this matter in the future. Also, she could have made Draconis her next target. On the other hand, my mind kept giving warnings about the Orcs and Minotaurs that were almost reaching the border.

What I thought was sabotaging the manufacture of the poison. So the queen's plan would fail by itself. It was the most peaceful solution.

I shook my head from side to side.
'No... This is too unfair for Marissa.' Not only that, the Queen could have continued the development and shifted her attacks to other tribes. As my gaze shifted to the crystal projector on the side of my desk, an idea popped into my head.
"What if I collaborated with the Duke of Dwarf tribe and exposed the Queen plan in front of everyone?" I muttered. Of course, what I meant was not just ordinary people, but important nobles from various tribes. What I did was expose all of the Queen's crimes and display them with the projector crystal that I had sent to various Kings and Queens.

A smirk appeared on my lips.
"This would be a good idea..." But first I had to tell Marissa.

Feeling my time was up, I folded the letter and put it in the drawer. My feet stepped out of my office since I had to meet Prince Arter in the main hall.

Indeed Argod's long hibernation had created a lot of problems on Igixar. Fortunately, although many problems were waiting for me, at least I already had a solution to solve these problems one by one. What I needed was I had to make sure I had enough power to execute it.
