Dragon King's Harem Chapter 137. We are The Sa I
"Are you sure you don't care anymore? It's your tribe. You know more about the Dwarf Tribe's aristocracy so I'd like to ask your help to settle this," I said. Despite her words, from her expression, I could tell she still cared about her tribe. It was just... her bad experience made her deny it.
"Sela belongs to you. Sela is not part of the Dwarf Tribe anymore. Sela is a Draconis' citizen now," she confird. Even though her heart ached when she said it, she didn't care.
"Even though the Dwarf King has abandoned you. You are still a Dwarf. Those people are your kin." One couldn't deny her identity forever. She was one of the keys to preventing this war.
Sela put the letter on the desk and put her hands on her thighs. As she bent down her head, she gripped her pants slowly.
"Sela knows... But Sela can't figure out what to do... The Dwarf King is stubborn and short-tempered. Dealing with him is exhausting. Sela hates him..."
She couldn't deny, what happened to her was because of the Dwarf king's decision. So in Sela's heart, she still loved the Dwarf Tribe. Moreover, despite this ergency, it was the king himself who could destroy his own kingdom.
"We can contact the duke and help your tribe through him. I'm sure he has sothing to say to you," I said.
"Then... Why did he return before he told Sela what happened?" said Sela. Her mind was too full to the point she couldn't understand why her old friend decided to return before he could et her.
"I think this has sothing to do with the Dwarf King," I guessed.
She turned to .
"The king?" she repeated. A frown on her forehead.
"He ca back in a rush after receiving a Magic ssenger," I explained.
Sela sighed.
"You're right. Only that stupid king has such annoying urgency." She rembered how her father was always in a hurry when that annoying king summoned him just because he didn't want to wait.
"Besides, maybe you could talk to Marissa about a few things," I added.
A bitter feeling covered her heart. She could understand Marissa's feelings since she had experienced the sa thing.
"That girl... She is the sa as Sela... Why is there so much injustice in this world? Why would a king sacrifice their people for sothing ridiculous?" she muttered. Her disappointnt was clear from the tone of her voice.
Sela, Marissa and Al were the victims of their leaders' injustice. They had to beco exiled because of a cri they did not do. As sad as it sounded, this was a common thing in this era. When people had no choice but to follow their leader.
Despite their similarities, their king's reasons for doing so were different. Sela was due to the Dwarf King's stupidity and temperant. Marissa was because of the Nymph Queen's greed. While Al was because the Witch King wanted to avoid unnecessary wars, so he decided to sacrifice Al's family.
"A lot of kings don't deserve to have power. So just get it from their family but they don't know what it ans to be a leader," I said. That was why all people believed The Dragon King was the most powerful and wise creature. Because The Dragon King inherited their ancestors' mories, unlike other kings. Although... I couldn't say all the dragon kings' decisions were wise since we were still having the sa dilemma.
Sela pressed her head on my chest. Her hands hugged tightly. From her slightly shaking body, I could tell she just wanted to get so comfort to calm herself down.
"That's so unfair to Sela... To us..." she whispered. Her bitter feeling and disappointnt were evident from the tone of her voice.
Instinctively, I hugged her tighter, bringing her small body closer to mine. My head leaned on the top of her head. My hand clapped the side of her head.
"You have , rember?" I cald her down.
"Um..." she humd to answer . After that, we were silent. It was just a simple thing but it cald her down. It was as if my hug were washing away her bad mory.
Sela closed her eyes, enjoying that simple comfort in the king's arms. Even though he was her husband, she felt she was in a Father's cradle. Soone who would protect her forever.
The knocking sound made us turn to the door and saw Marissa enter the room in hesitation. Her feet trod in caution as if she had entered a dangerous place.
"Co in Marissa," I said. She looked scared just to enter my place.
But instead of quickening her pace, Marissa's steps stopped as soon as she saw and Sela.
"Ah, did I bother you? Should I co back later?" she asked.
"Co in. I want to introduce you to her." I released my arms due to her nervousness. Likewise with Sela. Even though she was still sitting on my lap, her head was not leaning against anymore.
Marissa approached. But instead of the king, her attention was focused on the Dwarf girl in Argod's arms. She looked at Marissa with a faint smile.
'Did the king tell her everything?' she thought. Yet Marissa didn't understand that pitiful gaze or why the Dwarf girl looked at her as if she had experienced the sa thing as Marissa.
As soon as she stopped in front of , she bowed.
"Is she your wife, Your Majesty?"
"Yes. This is my second wife, Sela," I replied, introducing her.
Upon my introduction, Sela smiled sweetly at Marissa.
"Sela Akerra Notilda. Nice to et you, Lady Marissa."
Marissa nodded awkwardly.
"Nice to et you, Lady Sela." She didn't expect the cold king to be able to take two wives in such a short ti. Moreover, she could rember how cold Argod was before. But then, she realized sothing after Marissa noticed her na. A rumor about the betrayal of the Dwarf Tribe's Grand Duke 40 years ago flashed through her head. That incident was similar to hers.
"Notilda? Are you---"
Before Marissa could finish her sentence, Sela interrupted her.
"Yes... That's ," she said in a gloomy tone.
"It was the king who brought Sela here," he continued.
"Does that an we're the sa?" asked Marissa. She began to understand with Sela's pity gaze.
Sela smiled bitterly.
"Yes... We're the sa..." she admitted.
