Dragon King's Harem Chapter 289. Departure To The Healer Tribe I
The night passed. Igixar welcod a new day.
When the first rays of sunlight hit my room, I got up, ready to start the day. A warm bath was waiting for , and I sank into the water.
Feeling refreshed, I headed to et Al. We had to figure out the right gift for my upcoming visit to the healer tribe. In the heart of my chambers, surrounded by intricate tapestries and plush furnishings, Al and I talked through our options. After considering a few, we settled on a massive orc horn, carved from rare green diamonds. It felt like the perfect choice.
Later, I sat at the head of the dining table, surrounded by my wives. Evelina, Jyne, Sela, and Marissa were there, laughing and chatting as we enjoyed the spread prepared by the palace chefs. But amidst the lively vibe, there was one noticeable absence—Glasha.
“Where’s Glasha?” I asked, a hint of curiosity in my voice.
Jyne’s expression dimd. “She said she wants to eat in her room, Your Majesty.” It was clear she’d tried to get Glasha to join us, but no luck.
“Is she sick?” I asked, feeling a little concerned. Glasha had been through a lot, and even the strongest people need ti to recover.
Evelina quickly reassured . “I checked on her earlier. She’s fine,” she said, but then paused, as if there was more to it.
“Right,” I said, nodding. “I won’t push her. She’s a bit different from you all,” I added, glancing around at my wives.
Sela’s voice was soft as she offered, “Should Sela talk to her?”
I gave a faint smile. “No need,” I replied. “Let her work through it on her own. Her father just died, after all,” I explained. “I brought her here by force and made her my wife for political reasons. It’s a lot to deal with.” I didn’t sugarcoat it; her situation was difficult, and I understood why she’d need ti to adjust.
Marissa raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “And you’re okay with her attitude?” she asked, a little curious.
“For now,” I replied with a shrug. Glasha wasn’t exactly following protocol, but I could see where her pain was coming from.
“I’ve got my hands full at the mont,” I said, picking up my goblet and taking a sip. “I’ll give her so space to grieve, but she still has to stick to the rules,” I added, a hint of firmness in my tone.
Jyne shifted the conversation. “When will you be back, Your Majesty?” she asked, her curiosity clear.
I set down my utensils and thought for a second. “It’s just a quick trip,” I said, estimating. “Maybe two or three days.”
Sela gave a warm, slightly worried look. “You’ve barely rested since you woke up. Sela was a little worried,” she admitted quietly.
I smiled at her. “I appreciate it, Sela,” I said genuinely. “But I’ve had enough rest to last ten years,” I joked, eting her gaze.
Jyne leaned forward, concern softening her voice. “Just rember to take care of yourself, Your Majesty.”
I gave her a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry. I know my limits,” I replied, tapping my fingers on the edge of my goblet.
I sighed. “I just feel bad that I can’t spend more ti with you all.”
Evelina’s gaze softened, and she t my eyes with understanding. “Don’t worry about us, Your Majesty,” she said, her voice calm. “We knew what we were signing up for when we married a king like you.”
Her honesty struck . My wives were more than just companions; they were strong individuals who knew the path they’d chosen.
“We understand that we have to share you with your duty,” Jyne added.
“Thank you,” I said with a smile.
