Dragon Monarch System-Novel

“Bad wolf, what are you doing next to my room?” Julia and Aditya came out of their rooms at the same time and saw each other.

“That is my room.” Aditya innocently replied while pointing towards his room. Aditya’s long blue hair was slightly wet and messy. He was wearing pant pants and a white shirt.

Julia couldn’t help but feel dazed staring at his otherworldly handsome face. Julia has seen men who are even more handsome than him, but there is something unique about him that made her hard to resist this bad man. Maybe in others’ eyes, he is not the best handsome-looking man out there but in her eyes, this hooligan was the best-looking man in the whole world.

“Why are you looking so nervous? Your face is slightly red” He took a step forward and asked as he bought his face near her.

thump! thump!

“I….” Aditya looked at her rosy lips. Her cheeks were slightly flushed making her look even cuter. Unlike normal times, tonight she had tied her hair in a bun exposing her seductive nape. Just looking at her nape, Aditya felt his throat was getting dry. Tonight her purple pupils seem to have a magnetic shine on them making him feel like wanting to stare at her forever.

While looking at each other’s eyes, Aditya bought his face forward. Both of them seem to be lost in their romantic world, not caring about the outside world. Just when their faces were only 10 inches from each other, a sweet and gentle voice that felt like a loud thunderous roar at that moment woke up them._.

“Both of you should stop standing there and come for dinner.” Both of their bodies jerked up as they moved away. Julia’s entire face flushed red while Aditya being the thick-skinned and shameless, he looked at Sophie and nodded his head. “We will be there in a minute.”

Meanwhile, Sophie couldn’t help but smile. There was an extra touch of satisfaction in her smile. There is no way an experienced woman like her would mistake what she just saw. “Hehe!”

“Did something made you happy?” Adam asked seeing his wife smiling happily.

“It’s secret.” Sophie mischievous winked her right eye at Adam. Adam couldn’t stop himself from smiling as this was the wink that initially captured his heart in his younger days. If Sophie had not accepted him, the poor man still would have been a virgin given how fierce and wild he is.

But in front of his wife, he is like a tamed cat. If people saw the wild lion of the Kingdom of Echo Dominion acting like a tamed cat, they would call him a chicken. But Adam had no problem being called a chicken. In the house, he always listened to his wife’s words. He had no problem listening to his wife’s words as he doing it out of love. While other dukes had multiple wives to produce multiple heirs, Adam on the other hand feared that marrying someone else would break his family.

On the other hand, an entire minute passed no one said anything. Aditya gave her time to calm down. He knew if he said something at this moment, he would be labeled as the big bad bully.

“Shall we go?” Aditya asked gently to which the alchemy goddess replied with a small nod. Both of them quietly walked through the long corridor.

After reaching the dining table, Aditya was expecting to see a big dining table. But Sophie and Adam were sitting on a small table big enough for 4 or 5 people. “My mom thinks that it’s more enjoyable to eat food in a small. It’s easier to talk with family members and is more comfortable.” If Adam is hosting any gathering or party or some big nobles are coming to visit him, only then the small table would be replaced with a big long dining table.

Aditya nodded while approaching the dining table. The more time he spent in this Castle, the more he realized just how much of a perfect wife Julia’s mother, Sophie is. While he has been expecting to be looked down on by her parents given the huge gap between them, they were totally different from what he had expected. This made Aditya very relieved. Though he still cannot understand why Adam is always so hostile to me.

“Walter, have you eaten?” Julia asked as she sat opposite facing her mother.

“This humble servant has eaten a few hours ago. Thank you for asking.” While it’s considered rude and disrespectful for servants, maids, and butlers to have their food before their master, Sophie did the opposite. ????????????????????аd. ᴄom

Behind Julia Aditya also walked toward the dining table. As he approached the dining table, once again he found Adam glaring at him like he was looking at his biggest enemy.

Aditya sat next to Julia as Sophie started serving the food. “Walter, you can leave us alone.”

“Understood, milady” After giving a small bow, Walter retreated without making any noise. For some reason after spending a little time here, Aditya was starting to feel that compared to Watson, Walter was a better butler. Walter looked, sounded, and acted more professionally.

After Walter the family along, Sophie turned her attention to the man whom she already considered her son-in-law. Aditya wasn’t trying to pretend to be polite, in front of them he didn’t have the Aura of a ruler.

In his previous life, Aditya has always followed the rule of not bringing politics into family matters. He was not to show off or flex his achievements. Aditya was doing the same in this life.

“Alright, let’s start eating. Aditya, you can go first.” He nodded his head as he looked at the small piece of magical beast’s meat that has been fired. Just from the appetizing aroma, he knew that every dish on the table would be very delicious.

Using the pair of chopsticks, he put the meat in his mouth. “How is it?” Sophie gently asked with a smile.

“It’s really good.”

“Hmph! Of course, it would be good. The food was cooked by my wife after all.” Adam snorted and also started eating.

‘Oh! What do we have here? Hehe! It looks like just like the daughter, the father is also a tsundere. Now I know from whom Julia got her tsundere personality.’ From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at Julia who was elegantly having her food but on the other hand, her father’s eating was far from elegance.

‘It seems this tsundere personality runs deep in the Onard family bloodline. If it wasn’t for Miss Sophie’s teaching, Julia’s personality might have become more fierce and wild just like her father.’ Just imagining Julia with a wild and savage personality like her father, made him shiver.

“Aditya, why don’t tell us a little bit about your Kingdom? I heard that the Istarin kingdom has been rapidly expanding and growing.” Sophie started a conversation with Aditya while Julia and Adam remained quiet and ate their food. Occasionally she and Adam would make a comment or two.

“What about the merit system that you implemented in your Kingdom?” It was Adam who asked the question. Adam and Sophie have been keeping an eye on the changes going on in the Istarin Kingdom. When Aditya came up with the Merit point system, Adam and Sophie were greatly shocked as no Kingdom in the world had adopted this kind of system.

“In my opinion, the merit point system will greatly boost your Kingdom’s military in short term. But in long term, I am not sure about that.” Adam wanted to see if Aditya would know what problem he was talking about.

“If Uncle is talking about corruption then yes this will become a problem in the future. No matter what place, time, or era it is, corruption will always exist.” Aditya said the latter part as a reference to all the corruption in his country and other foreign countries. Corruption can bring a nation to its knees by draining its wealth.

Adam and Sophie were secretly a little surprised given how calm Aditya was. “Since you look so calm, I assume that you already have a plan to prevent corruption in your Kingdom.”

Aditya nodded his head in response. “As the King, I will need eyes to oversee the events happening in every corner of my Kingdom.” Adam and Sophie what he meant by eyes. Aditya was calm because he had eyes all over his Kingdom even though he was away from his Kingdom. The Majins were doing their jobs pretty well. Every corrupt official was being monitored and then publicly executed for corruption which planted the seed of fear in other officials’ hearts and kept them away from betraying the Kingdom.

Even though he wouldn’t admit it, but Adam was already very impressed with Aditya. Aditya was so young yet he was so talented. “Okay. Let me ask you this, what would you do if one of your Duke became powerful enough to even threaten you?”

Aditya calmly ate another piece of magical beast-fired meat and looked at Adam with a small smile. “It depends. if the Duke is someone that I trust fully, then letting him become powerful is not a harmful thing. But if the Duke is someone who has the intention of going against the royal order and going against the King, then I have the means to deal with them before they could even think of taking any actions against me.”

Aditya has made all of the governors accept the contract. With the contract, if they even think of going against him, the contract will rip their souls. Also, Aditya was thinking of giving his governors a drop of his blood and turning them into his dragonians. Even if the whole world turns against him, his dragonians will never even think of betraying him. Aditya knew for a fact that his Dragonians will become the main and strongest power point of his Kingdom.

“Let’s stop with all this political nonsense and enjoy our dinner together. Julia, how have you been doing in the Istarin kingdom?”

Hearing the question, Aditya’s body turned stiff. He nervously glanced at Julia. Aditya is not sure how Adam would react when he hears that his daughter has been working as a maid for 2 years.
