Dragon King's Harem Chapter 79. Cold Dream I
[Do you want to activate the alarm parchnt?]
[Yes] [No]
'Yes.' After I chose, the parchnt floated in the midst of us and turned into smoke that spread throughout the room before it disappeared without a trace.
[The alarm parchnt has been activated]
"Let's go to sleep," I said to Evelina and Jyne who were already sitting down beside . We were already on the bed and wearing other clothes that served as sleepwear. Sothing similar with my inner shirt and trousers. While Evelina and Jyne wore looser dresses than their previous clothes.
After answering with a nod, I lay down, placing my head on the pillow and my body on a hard mattress with a rough bed sheet.
"Good night, Evelina, Jyne." Then I closed my eyes.
"Good night, Your Majesty," they replied. They also lay on my sides and their hands pulled the blanket to cover us.
The narrow bed made us have to sleep close to each other. Not to ntion, they hugged both sides of and put their hands on my chest and abs as if I was their favourite giant doll. Their heads were on both sides of mine and I could hear their breathing in my ears. The narrowness made uncomfortable, but it made our bodies much warr considering this place's temperature was much lower than in the Palace.
Although I wanted another form of warmth, I wasn't sure they had any energy after our long journey. Plus I hadn't been able to touch Jyne since she hadn't beco my wife and we had to prepare our energies for tomorrow morning. But I could say I was quite grateful for her presence. Our bed was only made of the hard mattress, so her tails provide extra comfort and softness to it and it was a pleasant feeling.
In just a few seconds, my drowsiness began to overtake .
-------
I just fell asleep for a while when I could feel an excruciating chill biting my body.
'Cold...' I thought. The cold made feel like I was sleeping in the snow without any clothes. Okay, I didn't an in my human version, since I was sure no human could stand this coldness, but my Dragon self.
Feeling strange, I opened my eyes and the first sight I saw was a snowfield.
'What?!' I opened my eyes wide and stood up in surprise. I swept my gaze around , trying to find out where I was or find out where Evelina and Jyne were. But all I could see was a carpet of snow. Not only that, I realized I was standing on all fours of my feet since I was in my Dragon form. And from the cold biting my body, I felt as if my huge body was being stord by a snowstorm. Surprisingly, there were no storms here, only small snowflakes falling from the aurora-filled sky.
'This isn't right...' I looked around in caution. The parchnt alarm didn't make a sound, so I was sure no one approached . The fact that I got teleported ant that soone was doing it remotely. But moving soone like this could only be done by a Dragon King. Moreover, I shouldn't return to my original form like this.
I decided to check what was wrong with my system.
'Status!' But there was no response from my system, so I could only conclude. I was in an illusion spell or sothing. And this illusion spell couldn't hurt , that's why my system didn't tell anything.
A long breath escaped my nose, creating a thick fog in front of . I straightened my neck and moved it side to side, so I could get a better look at this place, but there was no sign of anyone here. My feet moved forward, leaving large footprints behind as well as a trail of my tail. The cracking sounds from the crisp refrozen slushy snow followed .
"Why did you bring here? Show yourself!" My voice sounded like a fierce roar, just like when I t the real Argod for the first ti. I was pretty sure whoever he/she was, he/she just wanted to talk to . That's why I didn't use my brute force or skills.
But, no one answered ...
"I command you to show yourself!" I said again. Spells like this usually had a certain ti limit, so it was a matter of ti for to get out of here.
This ti a woman's sad voice answered .
"Your Majesty... Do you think fire and ice can be together?"
I stopped in my tracks and my eyes darted in all directions to see where the voice was coming from. Unfortunately, I still hadn't caught anyone or anything there.
"What makes you think two opposing elents can be together?" I answered. This was the most basic thing and everyone knew it.
Then she was silent again.
"Why did you bring here? What's your goal?" I asked impatiently. Although the coldness couldn't kill or freeze since it was just so kind of a dream, it didn't an I was happy here. I felt uncomfortable and wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.
"Do you mind if I accompany you here, Your Majesty?" she asked again. The trace of disappointnt and sadness was evident in her tone. Unfortunately, the voice sounded like it was coming from all directions, so I didn't know where it was coming from.
I wanted to reject her imdiately, but I decided to hold myself back.
"How can you accompany if you don't show yourself."
Again, she fell silent.
I sighed once again.
"Fine! If you don't want to say anything I won't say anything either," I said in annoyance. After that, I bent my four legs, dropped my lower body against the cold snow and lowered my neck, bending it to the side. Likewise, with my wings, I lowered them and made them look like my blanket. Then I closed my eyes.
"Forgive , Your Majesty. I didn't an to offend you." The woman's voice ca back.
But this ti, I was the one who ignored it.
"Your Majesty?" she asked.
I didn't answer her.
After a while, she called again.
"Your Majesty, are you mad at ?" she asked in a sad tone.
"I don't feel like talking with the wind. Show yourself and we'll talk," I said without opening my eyes.
After another pause, she answered again.
"But you say it yourself, fire and ice can't be together."
From her words, I realized what she ant was the Mana elent.
"Did you forget I'm not fire?" I reminded her that my elent was 'Magus'. Although... Since I was a dragon, I still didn't like the cold.
"But can a dragon fall in love with ice?" she said again.
Feeling she kept repeating the sa thing, I decided to end it.
"Stop beating around the bush. Just show yourself and we'll talk," I said straight to the point.
Again, she just answered with silence.
'Still don't want to talk, huh? Fine, I will sleep here until your Mana runs out,' I thought. This kind of spell drained the user's Mana significantly especially since she used it on .
"Your Majesty..." she called. But I didn't care.
She kept calling and I ignored her until her voice was accompanied by a cold touch under one of my eyes.
In shock, I opened my eyes. At the sa ti, the cold touch disappeared. One of my pupils imdiately caught sight of a female elf who stood in fear at the side of my face. Unlike Evelina, her long hair that covered her back was silver. Her face looked a bit lancholic. Her skin was pale as if she was made of the ice itself and her eyes were blue. Her appearance clearly showed her tribe as a snow elf. But a few neatly lined ice spikes that adorned the top of her head, made realize her status.
