Dragon King's Harem Chapter 127. Marissa's Bitter Emotions I
Our Yegauns entered the palace courtyard. But rather than , this ti the guards' attention was on Marissa. So of those who already recognized her quickly greeted her. While the others whispered to each other in confusion to ask who she was.
Like when I brought Jyne for the first ti, I decided to take Marissa to the hall to greet her formally. But before I got there, Al approached in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, thank goodness you're back," he said.
Hearing Al's words, Marissa spontaneously turned to since it indicated her guess was right. While Al covered his mouth in reflex as soon as he realised Marissa and I had not broken my Tonic of Camouflage.
But beyond his predictions, I was not mad at him.
"What is it, Al?" I asked casually. Well, I didn't intend to surprise Marissa from the start since her case was different from Jyne's. She was in an ergency state, not running away for petty reasons like Jyne.
Since what Al wanted to convey was a little sensitive, Al drew himself closer to .
"It's about the Orc and Minotaur. Also---" He glanced at Jyne.
"About the Fox King's letter..." he whispered before he pulled himself away.
Even though Al tried to speak in a low voice, Jyne still could hear him.
"My father has sent his reply?" she said excitedly. A smile on her face.
But Al replied with an awkward smile.
"He not only sent a letter, Your Highness. He also sent your first brother."
Jyne's smile disappeared and a panicked expression replaced it.
"Y-You an, Arter is here?" Her first brother, Arter, was the strongest of her four brothers.
"Yes. He has been here since last night and wants to see you soon. Please change your clothes and et him. If we ask him to wait a little longer, I think he will destroy his room." This was the main reason why Al imdiately t the king as soon as he found out about his arrival.
I turned to Jyne.
"I'm sure he's really worried about you. Go and see your brother. I'll catch up after discussing a few things with Marissa." Well, I was not sure Arter was just worried about her. The Fox King must have sent him for so reason.
"Okay. I will excuse myself." After that, she bowed and left. Several maids imdiately followed her. As she walked, her hands removed her coat, revealing her nine tails. It made Marissa realise Jyne's identity.
Not only that, since Marissa was able to confirm Argod's identity. That ant the healer sitting with her along the way was the princess of the healer tribe. Princess Evelina. She turned to Evelina.
"Is that the reason you didn't say anything, Your Highness?" asked Marissa.
"Forgive . But I can't say it before His Majesty decides to tell you everything," replied Evelina calmly. She didn't an to mock Marissa considering she was in pretty bad shape.
As they spoke, I returned my gaze to Al.
"About the others, we will discuss it with General Guillotine and Sela. Call them to et in an hour in my office."
"I understand, Your Ma---" Al's words stopped as he pressed his lips and glanced at Marissa.
"It's fine. She already knows," I said. After all, I already had my portal skill. So even if I had to use his Tonic of Camouflage again, I would go using my Portal.
He looked relieved.
"Fine. I'll tell them right away." Then he bowed and left.
I turned to Evelina.
"Evelina, can you help prepare a welco dinner for Prince Arter?" Even though I wanted to welco him right away, since Prince Arter ca formally, I couldn't welco him in commoner clothes like this. So I decided to do a formal welco tonight. Then I shifted my gaze to Eir.
"Tell Sarah to prepare a room for Princess Marissa."
"Yes, Your Majesty." After a bow, they left.
"Marissa, co with ." My feet moved towards the hall as I used my dispel skill. As my horns and my eyes returned to normal, all the maids and guards around gasped in shock and bowed.
"Good afternoon, Your Majesty," they said in unison.
I simply gestured to them to lift their heads. Behind , Marissa followed.
We arrived at the main hall. I sat on my throne and turned my gaze to Marissa who was standing in silence under the throne stage.
"It's a bit late. But welco to Crimson Fla Palace, Marissa." I started our conversation.
"I didn't expect our eting would be different from our last eting," I said apologetically. Last ti, even though we didn't et in the capital, she and her father ca with dignity. But now she ca as a refugee.
She bowed politely.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I'm also glad you've woken up from your slumber."
"It's a long sleep. I never thought it would bring chaos to Igixar even though I have prepared everything," I replied. Unfortunately, the real Argod had no other choice but that. Or he would beco the Dark Lord destroying this world now.
Although that question bothered Marissa, she had heard that sotis the dragon king had to hibernate so she simply let it slide. But there was one other thing that bothered her more than that.
"Your Majesty... May I know why you did it?" she asked out of blue.
"You an my hibernation?" I asked. As I rembered, the real Argod had already told Marissa the reason. Not a real reason though, but I didn't want to change what he already said.
"Why did you disguise yourself as a hunter? Is it because you want to pick up personally?" asked Marissa. She couldn't help but feel happy with it.
I took a deep breath, trying to find the right words to explain it. Since I was sure the fact would disappoint her.
"To be honest, we found you by chance. I haven't read your father's letter yet," I admitted.
"You haven't ?" she said in disbelief.
"Then what were you doing in that place, Your Majesty?" she asked curiously.
"Pray. That place is an important place for my ancestors so I decided to pray after I woke up from my sleep," I said.
