“Nothing much, in 3 months’ ti, I want Mr. Aditya to co and et my parents.”
Pttt!…Cough!….Cough!
Aditya wiped his mouth with a napkin and looked at Alicia. “Wh….what did you say?” Aditya was so shocked that he forget to address her formally.
“I said I need Mr. Aditya needs to co with to et my parent”
Aditya took a deep breath and cald down. “Can I know the reason? After all, Miss Alicia even if we pretend that we are not married by a contract, eting your parents seems a little out of the place.”
Hearing Aditya’s words it was then the proud woman finally showed a small blush on her face making her look even cuter than before. Alicia looked down and picked up the teacup to calm herself. After taking a sip she felt calr.
“The thing is my family is a traditional family. My parents, uncles, and aunts got married before they turned 20 or at least had been engaged to soone. Soon I will turn 20. My family is pressuring to get married or at least find a man and get engaged to him.” Ever since Alicia was a small child, she was only allowed to wear Kimono which was a part of their family’s tradition. Another tradition or rule of her family was that woman cannot show their face to anyone other than their husband.
Honestly, Alicia had no problem wearing a Kimono or covering her face with a veil. She was used to it and felt comfortable doing it. The only problem she had was with the marriage thing. Alicia’s parents totally supported her love life but she has never found a man who could conquer her heart. Now that she was reaching the age of 20 soon, her parents were ordering her to return ho and go on blind dates to find a correct partner.
Alicia then suddenly glared at Aditya and spoke with hidden anger in her tone. “Honestly, if a certain soone had not beco an alcohol addict, then maybe things could have been different for .”
“When I and my family learned that you were expelled from your royal family, my parents were totally shocked. My angry father went to confront your father and ask him about the marriage. But your father refused to see my father and said that he had gone into seclusion. We asked our mother about the marriage contract. She said Aditya was no longer a part of the royal family, anything related to him had nothing to do with them.”
Hearing that his mother was being ntioned, sothing triggered inside Aditya. He suddenly felt nostalgic and a little sad. He can rember the happy days he spent with his mother before everything changed. Unfortunately, their too much love had spoiled the previous Aditya rotten. ‘I wonder how they are doing.’.
Alicia took a second to observe the dragon King’s facial expression. She could see a nostalgic look and a trace of sadness which was quickly erased.
“I understand your reasoning but why out of all the people? I an I am your fiancé in the na after all. Or unless are you planning to reveal my true identity to your parents.” If Alicia wanted she could have convinced soone who is more handso and powerful than Aditya for this role.
“I was looking for a suitable person. But I just don’t feel comfortable letting another man get near .” Alicia has been shielded from her childhood. She very rarely played with boys. Not only that, while being busy creating her business empire, she never got the ti to find look for soone special.
After she beca the richest woman in her continent, hundreds of thousands of n wanted to marry her even though she have never seen her face. Kings, Emperors, and princes, all wanted to have a chance with her. They were not attracted to her beauty. They were attracted to her money. This only made her more cautious forward n and won. Now Alicia can’t bring herself to trust a person easily. She is worried that her fake boyfriend would try to use this situation to use her.
“So you’re saying that you’re comfortable with ?”
“I am not saying that I am comfortable with you. Rather than letting so random male get near , I would rather let you act as my fake boyfriend and et my parents. I also you will be going there as Aditya, the Dragon King of Istarin Kingdom.”
“Can I say no?” Aditya felt going to et her parents would only bring him more trouble.
“Do you think after seeing my face you can just back out?” Alicia asked in a threatening tone.
Sigh!
“Fine. Let’s say that even if we managed to fool your parents then what’s next? How long are I will have to keep pretending?”
“Not too long. All of my family mbers live on the other continent. They will never co back. If you’re worried that your private life will be disturbed by this, then you can rest assured as my family mbers will never co here.”
By now both Aditya and Alicia stopped formally calling each other. When they talked to both Aditya’s parents, they both subconsciously felt that there is no reason to formally address each other.
“I just need so ti. One of the reasons I ca to this continent was to expand my guild. My ambition hasn’t been achieved yet. In a few years, given how fast we’re currently expanding the Seeker of Impurity, in a few years, the whole continent will only have one guild.”
Alicia ever since she was a child liked playing with money. She didn’t care about the money itself. To her, the process of making money was like playing a ga. She ca to this continent in hope of a new challenge. The thrill of overcoming each challenge and making profits made her very excited.
Sigh!
“Alright, but you will have to wait. Tomorrow, I will head out to et Julia’s parents.” This was just a one-ti thing. Going to another continent sounds very fun and exciting.
“Good luck on seeing your father-in-law because you will need it. From what I have heard, he is a strict and serious man. Trust , you don’t want to ss with him.” Aditya rolled his eyes. As if he wasn’t nervous enough. This woman was trying to even him even more nervous.
“Alright, this concludes our little eting. I hope you will keep your Promise, Mr. Aditya.” Alicia had a small smile on her face. The purpose of this eting has been achieved.
“Of course, I always keep my words.” Aditya stood up with the intention of leaving. “Then I shall take my .”
“Wait”
“Hmm?” He turned around and looked at her.
“I heard that you have Heavenly Crimson dragon bloodline?”
‘So Julia told her about my bloodline.’
“Don’t worry I have a tight mouth. No one will ever know about your Bloodline.” Aditya nodded feeling relieved.
“Do you know that you can use your heavenly dragon blood to turn humans into Dragonians?” Feeling confused by Alicia’s words, Aditya couldn’t help but ask. “What are Dragonians?”
“When a heavenly dragon gives a drop of its essence to humans, they transform into Dragonians. Dragonians are powerful and superior to humans in every single way.”
“The concept of Dragonians slowly fades away as heavenly dragons disappeared with ti. Once you have turned a human into Dragonians, they will never betray you. Not only that, dragonians cultivation speed, healing speed, mana recovery speed, and cultivation powers all are superior compared to humans. But the downside is that other than humans no other race can beco dragonians.”
“How do you know so much about Dragonians?”
“I have a hobby of reading books on various myths and legends. I have found pieces of evidence that Dragonians once existed. Maybe as the heavenly dragon, you can also do the sa.”
‘For once I have never tried giving my essence to another person. If her words her true, maybe I can try it on, Watson.’ Watson is the second closest person after Julia. He trusts the old man with his life. Making him the first dragonian would be the best choice.
Aditya stood there and thought for an entire minute. While Alicia tried to read his thoughts. She also wants to see if he will succeed.
“Is there anything else you know about Heavenly dragon?”
“I know a thing or two. Like Nature Fla. Which is a green type of fla that can be used to heal people. Only Heavenly fla dragons can possess Nature’s fla. I will give you so books on heavenly dragons. It cost a fortune to get these books.
There were three torn old books. After placing the books into his storage ring, Aditya once again thanked Alicia. “No need to thank . I am doing this as I am going to use you as a shield later.”
“Alright I will take my leave then.” Alicia watched as Aditya walked out of the room.
After the door was closed, Alicia lay down on the couch. “I can’t believe that idiot woman actually fell for him and now she is even taking him to see her parents.”

Scene change___
Knock! Knock!
“Coming”
Click!
Julia opened the door and coldly looked into his eyes. “Did you like your second wife? Hmph!” Saying that the alchemy goddess simply walked past Aditya.
“Yes, I really liked her. Especially those green erald eyes that seem to shine even in the darkness.” The kitten turned around and fiercely glared at him as if soone had stepped on its tail.
But Aditya simply ignored her and continued. “Her face is cute but her body was…..” Aditya stopped feeling he was about to cross the borderline.
Gulp!
“You were saying sothing?” Julia held a sword in her hand as she coldly looked at Aditya.
Cough!
“I can’t wait to et my father-in-law. I am hungry. Let’s eat.” After so teasing, both finally had dinner together and went back to their own rooms. While Julia went to sleep, Aditya couldn’t stop thinking about dragonians.
