Dragon King's Harem Chapter 59. Are You Afraid of Me?

  I chuckled at her words. While Jy down her lip awkwardly since she realized I heard what she said."So you admit that you want to be my wife because you are afraid of me?" I asked in a teasing tone. I admitted her pn to escape her arranged marriage using me as an excuse was brilliant. But a woman who entered my harem and only ended up in another man's arms was tantamount to demeaning my reputation as a king. But there was ohing that made me curious.

  Jyne raised her head and gave me a pleading look."I-I'm not, Your Majesty. I mean ---- I am afraid of you, but I want to be your wife not because of that reason," she said in a panic. This was something difficult to expin after what she had said in Warmbell Town.

  "Then what?" I asked in the same teasing tone.

  Jyne's face turned red. Her heart ounding and a strange feeling was rising in her chest. That feeling made her swallow her embarrassmee all that she had said tod. She khere was only one way to clear this misuanding, she had to fess her feelings tod. But this was her first love and her first experience, of course, this was not easy for her. But she knew she had no other way but to admit it. She opened her mouth trying to speak her heart out, but she couldn't. It felt like something was blog her words.

  "Speak up," I demanded in a firm tone. From her rea, it was clear that she was relut to say it, but I had to firm it.

  Again, she lowered her head. She swallowed her nervousness and embarrassment."I-It's because I love you ..." she said in a barely audible voice. Even her voice was lower than her previous mutter.

  "What did you say?" I asked her to repeat it. I heard her, but her voice was so faint and unclear. I could catch her saying she loves me but it was just unclear pieces of words.

  She lifted her head and gave me a pleading look once again."I-I love you, Your Majesty," she admitted bluntly in a stammering voice. Her face flushed either in embarrassment because I asked her to say it or because of her guilt.

  I had been expeg this since we arrived at Dragon Cross City especially after she kept trying to buy time to go to this Pad chose to spend more time with me. Plus her request to shared a Yegaun with me. A princess like her should have avoided such kind of as with the man she just met, but she insisted on doing it. At first, I thought she just wao get more prote from me, but her request to spend the night at my pce crified it."Love me? Didn't we just meet?" I wao find out since when she had that feeling for me.

  "I-I know. But since I saw your fa that alley there was a strange feeling in my heart," she replied with the same stammering voice.

  I chuckled once again."So you fell in love with me because of my looks?" I said straight to the point.

  "Of course not," she retorted quickly. But then she pressed her lips and looked hesitant."I think..." she said in a lower voice. Even though her family forbade her to befriend with fhat didn't mean she had never seen handsome men. Her Pace often held opera shows by inviting various professional artists and usually the actors were handsome. But she never fell in love with one of them, in trast to when she saw Argod.

  Since she looked unsure, I decided to find it out with my way. I leaned my bay throne and smirked."e here." My index fihat ointing at her moved towards me repeatedly.

  "P-Pardon?" she said in disbelief sinly certain people were permitted to approach the king ohrone.

  "I said e here," I repeated.

  Even though she was fused, she finally moved her feet towards him in doubt. Her heart ounding, her head filled with wild guesses about why Argod asked her to approach him.

  Her steps stopped near me without daring to look at me.

  "Closer," I asked.

  She took one more step to approach me iation.

  "Closer," I asked once again.

  She took a wider step to approach me in the same hesitation.

  Theended my hand to her. She stared at my hand in fusion for a moment before looking at me.

  "What are you waiting for? Take it," I said in a casual tone.

  She took my hand in fusion.

  As her palm met mine, I grabbed her hand and pulled her body closer. She fell in my arms and sat in my p. My other hand grabbed her , turned her fae and my eyes met hers."Look at me. What if I'm not handsome anymore? Will you still love me?" I asked.

  She looked at the dragon king in front of her in a daze. Her heart was beating wildly. Their faces were so close, allowio see all the features on his face. His majestic horns, his handsome yet cold face. His eyes glinted in blue like the fi sapphire. His sharp gaze, as if he could read all of her thoughts. His elega fearsome majestic aura."Yes ..." she said as she could make her voice. Her mind was bnk and her eyes were fixed on him.

  I narrowed my eyes and smirked."Really?"

  She just opened her mouth, but I used my skill.'Dragon Form 5%.'

  [You have activated your Dragon Form by 5%.]

  My head ged to my inal form, the head of a bck dragon. Bck hard skin covered my face. The tip of my long tongue split in half as if it beloo a snake. Sharp teeth repced my eeth. Dreadful spikes repced my hair. But what ged was only my head, not the rest of my body. My size also didn't ge."What about now?" My voice sounded like a lion's roar since my mouth's anatomy ged. I did this because I had to remihat my true form was not my human form, but my dragon form. Even though she saw me as a handsome man, it was the huge, terrifying bck dragon who would bee her husband. And I had no i in taking on a wife who had no feelings for me or ran away after she saw my true form.

  Jyartled. Her body trembled in shod fear after seeing that drastic ge. A handsome man who turned into a beast in the blink of an eye. Although her tribe also had an inal form, their form was not much different from their current form. Even their faces and heads didn't ge, in trast tod's drastic ges. Yet she refused to let him go. She just stared at him without being able to take her eyes off him.

  I grinned, showing rows of my sharp teeth that were able to rip her ne just oe. My eyes looked at her pale fad I could feel her body was shaking."Are you afraid of me?" Again instead of my usual voice, my voice more like a roar.

  But she didn't answer me.

  "So you like me just because of my good looks?" I asked in disappoi.

  Still, she didn't answer me.

  Since she didn't answer me and just stiffened in silence, I decided to shock her so she would return to her sense. I stuy tongue. My tongue slithered like a snake, approag her face. But by my surprise, she stuck out her tongue and made the tip of our tongue meet. I pulled my tongue and tilted my head. My eyes looked at her as if I asked for an expnation of what she just did to me.

  "I-I still love you whatever your appearance, Your Majesty," she said in a stammering voice as soon as she could get her voice out.

  I grinned once again."Prove it." I decided to tinue my test on her.
