Dragon King's Harem Chapter 43. The n III

  Hearing my statement, Al smirked bitterly as a breath came out of his mouth."We better watch out of him." His anger and hatred were evident in his eyes and his tone of voice as his mind recalled how the Witch King sndered him and nearly executed him."We don't know what's on his mind," tinued Al.

  I realized it and tried to calm Al."Al, I'll remind you again. This is just my guess. I'm saying this so all of you keep an eye on Callum. I could be wrong," I reminded him. I didn't want to make any assumptions before I iigated things clearly. Oher hand, with my limited power, I couldn't let my guard down. To be ho, I preferred to give this mission to General Guillotine since I was afraid Al would mix it with his personal grudge. But the Witch King was a cautious man, it took a special way and a certain strategy to approach him and only Al knew how.

  From my words, Al caught my iions and worries."Don't worry, Your Majesty. I won't mix my personal grudge with this iigation," said Al. He khat despite all the Witch King's mistreatment of him in the past, he was iigating this as a Drais' Royal Magi, not Almeric Griga Bevier. His iigatios and his reports would give a big influen the king's decision and many people's lives in two tribes. Therefore he had to make it as objective as possible.

  "Then I will t on you," I said.

  Al hank you for your trust, Your Majesty," said Al politely.

  "Is there any other report you o tell me?" I asked them again.

  "Nothing, Your Majesty," replied Al. But despite his answer, from the look in his eyes, I could tell his mind wasn't there. It seemed that his mind was busy thinking about how he could she spy into the Dark Illusion Pace (The Witch tribe's pace). Just like the hat pace was surrounded by illusion magic. Therefore Al had to prepare and anize everything well.

  "Have you told His Majesty about the Uribe?" said General Guilloti of blue. He was quite fused since even though that was an important matter, no one discussed it. In addition, he remembered when Al told him about this, Al looked worried and asked his corporation to prepare his troops if that tribe tried to cause trouble.

  "What happened with the Uribe? Are you c something important from me again?" I asked Al in a displeased tone.

  Instantly, Al and Eir looked panicked. But they couldn't bme General Guillotine since he didn't know my dition. While Guillotine looked fused si was unusual for Al ao cover things like this from me.

  "I don't mean to cover it up, Your Majesty. But it's been a month sihey haven't made any movement. That's why I decided to postpone my report. Besides, I've ordered my spies to keep their eyes on them," Al replied as he lowered his head. While Eir showed the same expression aure.

  "Tell me what happened?" I demanded. Uhe Minotaur and Orc Tribe who positiohemselves as my oppo. The Uribe put their position in the grey area. They were a ral tribe who didn't want to interfere with the problem in Igixar. That's why they rarely made signifit movements. But my ten years absence could ged everything.

  Al sighed since he couldn't avoid this question anymore and told me everything. How did he detect the unusual magic power in the Uribe territory at the north of Drais. How did his spies find the rampaging Undead killing aing the monsters alive with her intelligenor sciousness. Even though it only happened ierritory, it didn't mean that we could let uard down. Surprisingly even with that strauation, the Undead King didn't say anything. While his queen only said that it was just some kind of pgue or rather a curse that attacked the Uribes' energy orb stability. Acc to Al's spy information, it had been a month sihe Uribe had been much calmer. They also tighteheir guard around their border to prevent the rampaging undead attag the other tribes. The queen also ordered her subordio catch those rampaging undead and take them somewhere so the magis could stabilize their energy orbs.

  I listeo Al's report as my mind deep in thought.'Is something happened in the Underworld?' That was the first thought that crossed my mind sihe Uribe was different from other tribes, though they had the same sciousness and intelligence as well as personalities as the other tribes. If other tribes had a heart and brain as the tre of our life, then the Uribe had an energy orb located in their chest as the tre of their life. Moreover, even though they had muscles, they did not have blood like other creatures and could not feel any pain unless someoacked their orb. And the orb power source came from the underworld energy. To maintain stability, the Uribe and Underworld had different rulers. In addition, the Underworld was inhabited by a different tribe, the Demon tribe and rather than a king, a queen ruled that pce. The funny thing was, even though Undead and Demon sounded like close siblings, but in Igixar those two territories' rules never got along. If it weren't for their duty and obligation to maintain Igixar's stability, they would have killed each other a long time ago. Besides that, the Uribe and Demon tribe coulder each other's territory, of course except the Undead King and The Demohemselves.

  Apart from that, I also noticed another oddity. Why didn't the Undead King say anything? But it was his queen that gave the orders? Even though I didn't know the Undead King personally, at least he should maintain his honour as a ruler. I was not sure why he allowed his wife to step over him to make su important decision, especially about his tribe. Unless ..."Is the Undead King sick?" I made a wild guess sihat was the only thing that crossed my head. It could be that the curse also affected the king's orb.

  "I do not know, Your Majesty. But my spy said he had not e out of his Pa a long time," replied Al.

  Ihis problem was still a mystery to us, so I couldn't guess what happened. But judging from Al's information, this should not be reted to Drais directly and we could dey it for the time being. Not like the Minotaur, Orc or Witch tribe's issue. After all, at least, I had to reach level 70 to break through the underworld's gates. Also that I coulder the pce carelessly, since I could only go there alone. If I didn't have proper preparation, who knew what would happen to me there?

  "Find out more about the Undead King's dition and the mysterious curse. Also, tighten the security heir territory," I ordered.

  "Yes, Your Majesty," replied Al.

  "Is there anything else?" I tinued. With cellor Aln and General Guillotine here, Eir and Al should not be able to hide anything again.

  Al reported a few things that happeo other tribes especially their restlessness of my absence, but there wasn't any signifit movement of them sht now all I could do ce spies to watch over them.

  "Sihere's nothing else to discuss, I'll end our meeting here," I said.

  "Yes, Your Majesty," they replied.

  "We'll tinue again after I return from my trip." Without further ado, I got up from my chair and walked to the exit followed by Eir.
