Dragon King's Harem Chapter 57. The King is Here

  As we ehe West Earth gate, we were greeted by light from the rge torches that lined ly in the courtyard. We walked through it until we arrived he Patrance. Our hands pulled the reins to stop auns before we got off there. Swiftly, several guards approached us. Some of them quickly brought auns back to their stables. While some of them greeted Eir since he was the only person who had opened his hood."Wele back, Sir Eiron," they said politely. To which he replied with a nod.

  Then the guards turheir gaze to me and looked at me in doubt and curiosity sihough I looked familiar, I still covered my head with my hood which made my faclear, I also hadn't celled Al's Tonic of Camoufge yet. Meanwhile Evelina was still wearing her hood too, so they didn't greet her.

  Oher side, Jyne's heart was beating fast. Her panid tension were evident on her face. But since Argod already knew her identity, she could not avoid it anymore. Who khat the voy she had met in that small town was from the Pace. And sihey said this Pace was their home, it meant that Argod and the others were probably inner officials or elite soldiers who usually lived in the Pace.'What should I do? I told Sir Ar all my pns. They will returo my kingdom, 'she thought in panic.

  Seeing Jyne's panicked face, I pressed my lips to hold back my ughter."Shall we go inside, Yhness?" I said as I could get my voice out.

  Jyuro me in annoyance."Why didn't you say that you work at the Pace?" she said with a frown.

  Now, it was Evelina and Eir who pressed their lips after hearing Jyne's words. While I was trying to keep my posure and hold back my ughter as hard as I could."You didn't ask me before." Then I gave a gesture to enter."Shall we talk inside?"

  Jyne sighed in exasperation."Fine." She couldn't tell him her pint si was her fault. If she didn't try to steal Argod's money maybe she wouldn't end up like this. Moreover ... Jyne g Argod. On the positive side, since Argod lived in this Pace, at least she could see Argod every day. In addition, ae soldier or inner official was better than that of a oner. Moreover, some of them were allowed to have more than one wife. So her feelings weren't a dead end like before.

  As we ehe pace, several servants bowed to greet us. Just like every Pace's habit, Eir, Jyne and Evelina opeheir cloaks and gave them to the servants, except mine. I couldn't remove my cloak and show my fa front of the servants since I still had to make arip tomorrow. Upon seeing the nine fox tails behind Jyhe servants' eyes widened in surprise and quickly lowered their heads politely sihey immediately reized her.

  One of the servants approached Eir."Sir Eiron, shall I report this to His Majesty?" What they knew was that I was resting in my rht now.

  "It's fine, His Majesty already knows about this," replied Eir.

  "I uand," said the servant, though the fusion was clear on his face.

  Meanwhile, Jyne gasped in shock. Since based on Eir's words, it meant that the Dragon King was awake.'I'm dead! This is the same as turning myself over to The Dragon King,' she screamed internally in panic. She didn't think that the king had awakened since she didn't hear this news before. It was big news, so it should be spread quickly yet what she did know was that the Dragon King was still asleep. She could not imagihat in just one day her long journey would end in vain. Even her first love had to withered without her being able to say it since she was sure Argod would tell everything to the king.

  We moved our feet through the corridor. But as we walked, suddenly Jyne came over to me."Sir, I know I don't deserve to ask you this. But you keep our previous versation a secret?" she said in a low voice. This was her desperate attempt to minimize her punishment.

  "Whie?" I asked in a casual tone since I could guess her iion. After all, everything she said to me before would make 'the dragon king' angry.

  Jyne g Evelina, Eir and the guards before returning her gaze to me."About my main reason for joining the harem. Also about my pn to seary 'true love' in Dragon Cross City," she said again in a low voice.

  I knew she asked me that since I was the only one who knew her pn. Meanwhile Eir and Evelina only knew she was the Princess of the Fox Tribe who wao meet me."What if the king found out by himself?" I asked.

  Jyne lowered her head and was silent for a few moments."If that happens ... I 't do anythiher," she said in a gloomy tone.

  "I uand."

  As we arrived in front of a rge huge door with a Drais Crest in gold, two guards bowed at us and opehe door."You don't o follow us," said Eir to the guards who followed us and they followed his orders.

  We ehe hall that was dominated by red and bck colour. Several rge pilrs line up on each side with a floating huge crystal in front of it. Those were high-level crystals that were used to proted attack the enemies automatically. The floors were made of dark brown marble, a long red carpet lined from the door to the throage and ane Drais crest in gold behind the thro was Drais' main hall. Acc to Igixar's tradition and formality, all important guests from other tribes had to meet the king in that hall before they moved to another room.

  Jyne swept her gaze across the Hall that was bigger and more luxurious than her Pace's Hall before turning her gaze back to the empty throhen she approached me again."I-I think we should e back again tomorrow," said Jyne in the same low voice. Her hesitation was clear from her voice. Her feet moved following us.

  "Why?" I said in a casual tone.

  "I'm sure the king is resting in his room, I don't want to disturb him," she replied.

  I chuckled."What are you talking about? The king is here. Of course, you should meet him."

  "H-He's here?" said Jyne in a stammering voice. Her gaze swept around the room once again in panic.

  As we were not far from the throage, Eir and Evelina stopped and bowed. Sihey suddenly stopped, Jyne also stopped her steps in fusion.

  Meanwhile, I kept moving my feet up to the throne as I used my skill.'Dispel.'

  [All ive status has been removed]

  As my eyes returo normal and my horns appeared above my head, my hands opened my hood. Then I took off my cloak, letting it fall to the floor nontly. When I got to the top, I turned around and sat ohrone. My legs were folded leisurely and my elbow was on the chair handle, my head was resting on the bay hand. I smirked at Jyne who was looking at me in shock with pale face."Princess Jyne of the Fox tribe, wele to Crimson Fme Pace."
