The dragon's harem Chapter 1771: The Start of the Preparations

Tina walked through the darkness and soon found herself standing back in the light of a warm hallway. This place had changed a lot in the past weeks. The ceiling was now higher, the halls wider, and even so of the chairs were changed to bigger ones to accommodate Arad and all of his large wives.

But what surprised her more was that Arad had beco a bit shorter, standing just at seven feet tall (2.13m). This was the height all of his wives agreed on, the normal ones at least. Claug, Balina, and Tyal, for example, wanted him to be as large as he could. Of course, because they too were just as big.

But that was still huge, especially since he now weighed over 400 pounds of pure, raw, lean muscles and bones. He still looked as intimidating as a monster, being far taller and wider than any man that she had ever seen, and what made him scarier was his sharp, dark purple eyes. Whenever Arad looks at sothing with magic and tries to use his void eyes to see the flow of mana, his eyes would glow, causing his expression to resemble a sharp, nacing glare.

Even now, when walking by her side, Arad looked mad, but he wasn’t. The shadows cast on his face darkened it just enough for the light of his purple eyes to overpower all light, making his face look shrouded in darkness with just two glowing dots that burned with magic.

"This size should be easier for everyone to deal with."

Arad spoke as he walked by her side. Hearing his voice, she realized that his scary parts didn’t stop at his size and intimidating look. He can read minds and stare at people’s souls, causing them to feel a deep and disturbing feeling of horror and disgust.

So maids saw them approaching and bowed, greeting them. Those maids were new, and none of them seed to know who Tina, was as they were hired after she left. They threw her a glance for a mont, then one of them asked Arad. "Your Majesty, she is?"

Before Arad could reply, Tina looked at the maids with a smile. "Keep this a secret from the Queens, but I got a child here..."

One of the maids paled imdiately, and the other rubbed her temples and sighed. "So, you’re Headmaid Tina." She bowed to her once more, and the other maid gasped. "Wait, what? How do you know?"

The maid looked at her friend and smacked her on the head. "Short stature, long brown hair and eyes, a decent body, pale ivory skin, and having a child here. That could only be the Headmaid the queens told us about."

The other maid only then seed to realize it. "Yeah! Queen rlin watches the entire place anyway, so she would’ve already known. And the only child here besides Lady Astra is Lady Serin."

Arad tapped Tina on the shoulder. "As you know, all of the maids here work for the queens, not . I don’t have any personal maid besides her. Thus, while each of you has a queen to answer to directly, you also must obey commands from her."

The power structure and hierarchy of Arad’s Royal court were simple, but complex at the sa ti. He stood at the top as the one and only Emperor, and beneath him were his wives, the Queens. Those queens could then pick concubines to stand right beneath them, and mistresses to be beneath the concubines, followed at the end by the maids and then the servants.
