Dragon King's Harem Chapter 170. Before The War II

His question created another laugh in my mouth. Louder one. It indeed irritated my pride a bit, but I caught the seriousness and hesitation in his tone. After all, this was rarely known by many people so I couldn't blame him either.

“Believe me whoever did it will regret it,” I said as soon as I could get my voice out.

“We, royal dragons, will not spare anyone who disturbs us when we are in that state. And if that happens I will annihilate them without mercy," I explained,

My laughter made him realize something.

"Has that happened before?" he asked doubtfully.

My smirk bloomed on my lips.

"Once. And it didn't end well," I said.

It happened when the fourth royal dragon had just taken over the throne. A rebel group wanted to take over the throne and attack the capital on a full moon. They thought the dragon king was weak in that condition.

They were a huge rebel group. Tempted by the Dragon Cross City's wealth, several other small groups even joined them. It was the biggest rebellion the royal dragon had ever faced. But of course, it ended up being a one-sided massacre by my ancestor. When the rebels started attacking the city's barrier, the fourth dragon king appeared in his original form and attacked them like a mad man.

Okay, I meant a mad dragon. I could remember how he used his ultimate skill to burn the rebels, eat them alive, mutilate them with his claws and turn the land outside the barrier into a sea of blood all by himself. He even returned to his room covered in blood and had sex with his wives as if nothing happened. It made his wives shudder in horror but who could stop the dragon king in that state?

"Would you mind explaining that 'didn't end well'?" asked Arter curiously. He thought it would be a dragon king's weakest moment, but he was wrong. At least this way he knew her sister was with the right man.

“My ancestor dyed the soil with his enemies' blood in less than an hour, Prince Arter. There were more than thousands of rebels there and he was alone. Not even a single soldier dared to approach him or help him or he would consider them as enemies,” I said calmly. A smile on my lips showed how serious I am.

“As for the others, I can't explain it right now. We are eating, I believe it will disturb our appetite," I added. I meant it since I also didn't want to remember too much about it.

Even though my dragon instinct thought those memories were normal, not with my human side.

"I see." He lowered his head slightly. "Thank you for your explanation, Your Majesty." Arter decided to stop the conversation. It made sense to him. At least he understood why no one had ever used this moment to attack the dragon king.

Following a short conversation, we continued our lunch with another small talk and another sibling quarrel. While Arter didn't bully Jyne as badly as before, his joke about her tails would annoy me when we do it was enough to piss her off.

After the lunch was over, we let Arter off at the palace's yard. A royal carriage would take him to the capital's sky tower before he returned to his home with his sky carriage. Unlike his usual jokes and bullies, his gloomy expression was clear on his face when he had to leave. I even caught the tears that filled his eyes just before the carriage moved. While Jyne also held back her tears. But when Arter's carriage disappeared from her sight, she hugged me tightly and cried. I was sure this would be hard on her since the moment she became my wife, her home was here, at Draconis. Not at the fox tribe's palace anymore.

The suns were getting higher and I knew I had to get to Firestone Fortress soon. I quickly took the potions at Al's place before taking my order to Sela's room. Like before, Al collapsed once he handed the potions to me.

Making potions required a lot of energy, skill, and concentration so I could understand that. Luckily, he managed to make the potions in one attempt, and what surprised me even more, he didn't blow anything away. He called it “Super Duper Strong Fire Elemental Potion” while what appeared on my system was only “Fire Elemental Potion ver 2”.

The suns was getting dimmer. I sat on my throne, facing my subjects who were kneeling below the throne stage. Eir, General Guillotine, and Evelina stood by my side. Meanwhile, my other wives decided to go back to their room after our private goodbye. At least that was what they told me, they secretly sneaked into the hall, hid behind a pillar, and looked at me in sadness. Including Marisa. Even though she didn't look as sad as the others, I caught the worry on her face when I said goodbye.

“During my absence, Chancellor Allan will replace me to manage the palace and Duke Nicolin will assist him. Important business will be temporarily suspended until I return from the war. Do you have any other questions?” I closed my long instructions. Even though my orders weren't much different than the real Argod's before he went into hibernation, I still had to manage a few things.

"Nothing, Your Majesty," replied the others. Although many of them objected to the king's departure, they couldn't say anything since it was the king himself who had to settle the king of orc's grudge.

"Very well." I stood up from my throne and extended my hand forward. A second later, a portal appeared on the throne stage. It was a portal to Firestone Fortress.

"I'm counting on you," I said. A faint smile on my lips.

As our feet stepped into the portal, the others lowered their heads and shouted.

“Long live the king!”
