Dragon King's Harem Chapter 322. Lizard And Dragon VI
I responded with a grin. "Tell what you an? I'm interested to hear it," I challenged. It was clear he wished for my demise.
“It's a joke, Argod. You are too serious,” Viperax attempted to brush off his earlier remark with a nonchalant air, punctuating it with a forced chuckle. “Since I'm already here and this is our first eting in a while, how about we have a chat? You won't just let leave without a proper feast, right?” he suggested.
I leaned back, the corners of my mouth lifting in a wry smile. "Let you leave? That depends on our chat, Viperax," I replied, my gaze unwavering. “I have prepared a little banquet. You can spend the night here before you leave,” I said as I gestured towards the luxurious tent.
Viperax's response was nonchalant. “Great. I hope for a pleasant conversation,” he remarked, stepping forward. His deanor seed almost too relaxed, as if he was navigating a social gathering rather than a diplomatic minefield.
“I hope we can discuss what your baron has done and the cris your tribe may have committed due to my absence,” I stated. I watched for any flicker of reaction, but Viperax maintained a stoic façade.
We entered, the luxurious fabric gently rustling behind us. Viperax and I chose our places. We settled into seats arranged opposite each other.
The tent, though lacking the opulence of the palace, exuded an air of regality. Plush cushions, arranged for comfort. The subdued lighting, provided by lanterns strategically placed around the tent, cast a warm and intimate glow.
The table between us held a modest yet tasteful array of snacks — an assortnt of nuts, fruits, and cheeses, all of impeccable quality. It was a nod to refinent in simplicity, not culinary extravagance. Our wives took their places on either side.
The ambience was further enhanced by the gentle strains of music.
Viperax's opening gambit was laced with a subtle venom. “I thought the dragon king didn't want to take any wife and had given up on continuing his own lineage. But it seems I was wrong," he taunted, his gaze deliberately shifting to linger on Evelina and Jyne.
"All kings must marry to ensure that their own bloodline leads the kingdom and take over their duties," I stated.
Viperax, however, was not one to be easily deterred. His laughter rang out. “So it's just a necessity, huh?” he needled, his eyes flickering towards Evelina. “What a sha,” he added, a calculated twist to his words, implying that the union was a re obligation rather than a matter of personal desire.
His audacious examination did not go unnoticed. I responded with a rebuke, "You surely have a nerve to check out my wife in front of ," I admonished him, my gaze unwavering and steely.
The Lizard King downplayed his scrutiny with a dismissive remark. "I'm just curious about the woman who was fought over by two kings and created a big war," he claid, his eyes once again wandering over Evelina. The condescending tone dripped from his words.
Unmoved, I countered his arrogance with a calm assertion, "Maybe it takes soone's sharp eye to figure it out. After all, not all people know a diamond's value," I stated.
Viperax, evidently unimpressed, posed a challenge. "Is there anyone foolish enough not to know?" he inquired.
I responded with a nonchalant quip, "Blind people don't," I declared. It was a subtle jab at Viperax's apparent blindness Evelina's invaluable presence.
