Dragon King's Harem Chapter 41. The n I
- Dong! - Dong! - Dong!
The bell sounds from the city tower chimed 12 times, indig it was noon. Eir stepped his feet down the red corridor to the King's chamber to wake Argod up like what the king ordered him to do. Previously he had also escorted General Guillotine and cellor Aln to the king's office. Besides that, he also sent a messeo wake Al up since he went to sleep after he finished discussing with the king.
"Good afternoon, Sir Eiron," said the guards as he arrived in front of the King's chamber.
Eir nodded slightly."Good afternoon," he replied. Then after he opehe door aered the room.
"It's noon already?" I said in a casual tone as I turo Eir who had just entered my roht now, I was standing in front of the big mirror and already wore my uniform, while Se and Evelina who were tidying up my bzer had also put on their clothes.
Eir walked over to us and bowed."Your Majesty, cellor Aln and General Guillotine are waiting for you at your office." He didn't expect Argod to wake up earlier than he expected. Apart from that he also immediately noticed the Mark of Bride on Se's neck which meant this was anood news for the Dragon Tribe.
"Very well." After those words out of my mouth, Evelina areated a step and lowered their heads slightly."Everything is ready, Your Majesty," they said.
"Thank you," I said. My hand fixed the other end of my sleeve as I turowards Evelina."Get some rest, I'll send someoo your room after I'm done discussing."
Evelina bowed politely."Yes, Your Majesty." Even though I didn't want to take her because I was afraid she was too tired after serving me, I had no other choice si was my first trip, after all, I didn't know how far things ged after 10 years of my absence.
Then I turo Se."I hope you make my order."
"Se uands, Your Majesty," said Se happily. Sihe Dragon Tribe's enemies had started attag Drais, I requested Se to craft something for me. At least even if the war was unavoidable, I wao minimize the casualties as much as I could.
After a slight nod, I walked towards the exit."Let's go." And Eir followed me from behind.
As soon as I came out of my room, I turo one of the guards."Ask Sarah to tidy up my room," I ordered. We were just 'having fun' and Se's virgin blood was still on my bed, so I needed Sarah to ge my bedsheet.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Then the guard carried out my order.
Meanwhile, I resumed my steps toward my office. Swiftly, some of the guards who were waiting outside of my room also followed me."Is Al awake yet?" I asked without turning my gaze to Eir alking beside me.
"I've sent a servant to wake him up, Your Majesty," replied Eir.
"Good." He already made me the potions all night. Of course, I uood why he was so tired, but I also needed his preseo discuss several things with the others. Besides, though Al's level above mine, my stamina and regeion were better than him because of my bloodline.
Two guards opened a bck door with the gold King's orhat ador for me and Eir. While the uards who were following us stopped and bowed.
As soon as I ehe room, two men who were sitting in the room quickly got up from their chairs. One of them was a man in his mid 40's with bck hair and a serious face, he was cellor Alo him was a man the same age as me with red hair and a cold face, he was General Guillotine. And like all Dragon tribe officials, they wore a simir uniform as Eir even though Guillotine was a General. Since every dragon tribe already had our own armour and that armour exceeded the best armour made by any bcksmith.
"Your Majesty," cellor Aln and General Guillotine bowed to greet me.
I raised my hand, asking them to skip formalities as my feet tio move to the chair behind my rge desk that was filled with stacks of dots oher side. I had been asleep for 10 years, so those stacks of dots were normal things. Unfortunately, before taking care of these dots I had to trate aining my power first. Besides, though that pile of dots was intimidating, I knew cellor Aln was doing his best. If not, maybe the stacks were higher than this. I sat on my chair and Eir was standing by my side. While cellor Aln and General Guilloti in front of me.
A breath escaped from my mouth to calm myself down before I spoke to them. My face looked serious."I'm sure you already know why I called you here from Eir," I started our versation. Then I turo General Guillotine."I'll start with your report."
After that, we spent the half an hour discussing the Minotaur tribe's atta the western border which mostly trated on the Firestone Fortress. A crystal that projected images about that pce's situation with topography and the enemy's camp on the western border were on my desk. Acc to General Guillotine's report, his troops mao hold them back even though the attack had been going on for a month since we had a huge advantage over our elements. Besides that with aerial advantages, even without battle mounts, my troops could disrupt their attaation easily. It was just, without my permission, my troops couldn't attack the Minotaur tribe and could only defend themselves. Oher hand, I saw another oddity about the attack, sihe Minotaur's attack was only led by a ander, not a general like usual. Also, their troops were not on a rge scale, as if they were just pying with Drais. But the problem was if they were just pying around to mock me, why should their game cost their troops lives? In addition, it didn't make sense if the king of the Minotaur tribe that stupid.
“Your Majesty, in my opinion, they only want to mock us to show our inpetence. Even if they are harmless, we ot allow them to tinue doing this. We must destroy them immediately before the Orc tribe arrives. Therefore allow me t my troops to attack their camp, " said General Guillotine, closing his report as he lowered his head. While I remained silent. My elbow was on the desk and my ched fist was in front of my mouth. My eyes were fixed on the crystal image in front of me. My brain was thinking hard about this problem. This indeed looked simple and too easy sinilitary strength's differences were too high. And of course, this was nonsense, since I khe tribe kings were not that stupid. Besides, if I ordered my troops to attack the Minotaurs, it would be the same as telling the other tribes that I was awake.
Then my eyes caught something suspicious on the Minotaur Camp's map. I reached out my hand at the map and moved my hands in opposite dires, imitating the opening motion so I could see the area I wanted more clearly."What is this?" I asked General Guillotine as my index finger poio an image simir to a mining cave.
"That is where their bcksmiths make their ons, Your Majesty," replied General Guillotine.
"They took their bcksmiths into the battlefield?" I said in disbelief.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I didn't believe this either, so I ordered a spy to find out about it and infiltrate the cave. And this is the result." General Guillotiretched out his hand to touch the crystal in front of us and the image turned into a cave view filled with Minotaurs who were busy making ons. This time I caught another oddity in that image.
I poi a rge hole that looked bright in the darkness of the cave."Has the spy checked this pce?" I asked.
General Guillotine poio a Minotaur carrying several semi-finished ons in that picture."As you see, that pce is their f pce, Your Majesty. That's why my spy didn't check it out."
"It's not their f pce," I said fidently.
General Guillotine frowned in fusion.
I caught the fusion sihe hole looked like the usual Dragon Tribe's f pce. That's why I expined my statement."Do you fet it? They are Minotaurs nons like us. Their weakness is fire, they don't have a rge f pce like our bcksmith's," I reminded him. All Dragon tribe bcksmiths did have a rge f pce that usually looked like a room or a cave, even our smallest pce should be able to tain one adult dragon since he would enter with his on and be burned in that pce as well as fe his on directly there. As the result, no one could melt the dragon tribe's ons. Therefore, the dragon tribe bcksmith usually had a high fire resistance.
After hearing my words, General Guillotine gasped as he realized his mistake.
