Dragon Monarch System-Novel

At the southern entrance, the soldiers stared at the 4 Wyverns that just landed in front of them. Aditya, Watson, Morgan, and Nathan carrying Duke Easton with him got off from the Wyvern’s back.

“You 4 stay here till we return.” The Wyverns nodded and made some space next to the entrance and laid down there.

“Your Highness, it’s an honor to finally meet you.” A handsome young man slightly lowered his head to show his respect to the Istarin King. This man was the 3rd-order commander of the Thera Kingdom’s army.

“I apologize for my sudden visit. The meeting was decided at the last minute so I couldn’t prepare any gifts.”

“Your Highness, your presence in this small Kingdom itself is a huge thing for us. I don’t think we are worthy of receiving your gifts.”

“Hahaha!” Aditya liked how sly this man was. From his words, his intentions were clear. The Kingdom of Thera was worried that Aditya might do something while staying in their Kingdom.

“I look forward to meeting King Charles. As neighbors, I would love to form diplomatic relations with your Kingdom. Maybe in the future, our Kingdom will become the biggest buyer of cold iron from your Kingdom.” With these words, Aditya made it clear that he had no intention of invading the Kingdom of Thera. He wanted to form a friendly relationship with this small Kingdom.

“If his highness wants to form diplomatic relations with our Kingdom, I am sure my King would be more than happy.” To the public, it would look like two men were praising each other and were being friendly but in reality, both men were testing each other.

“Your highness, I have prepared a royal carriage for you. Please get in.” Ren personally opened the door of the carriage for Aditya._.

“Thank you, Ren. Before coming here I had to go back to Azure city to get Duke Easton so I was a little late. I did not have enough time to prepare carriages for my travel.” Both men knew that Aditya was lying. Aditya bought the 4 Wyverns to display his strength to other Kingdoms.

Following Aditya, Watson, Morgan, and Nathan who were carrying unconscious Easton got in the carriage.

The interior of the carriage was big a bedroom. The carriage had couches, a table even a luxurious bed. The floor was covered with a white carpet. The carriage even had a small bathroom and a kitchen.

“Your Highness, I am sure you all must be a little tired from your journey. Do you want some wine or juice or maybe some of our kingdom’s snacks?”

“I would like a cup of tea.” Aditya wanted to if Ren or the Kingdom of Thera had planned to take him out with poison. Nathan as an assassin would be able to tell if the food was poisoned or not.

Clap!

Ren who was sitting on the couch clapped his hand gently. The beautiful-looking maid opened the door and bowed her head.

“Give us 5 cups of tea. Sir Watson and Sir Nathan and Madam Morgan, would the two of you like to have some snacks with tea?”

“I would like to have a strawberry cake.”

“I am fine with anything.”

“I am also fine with anything.”

Even though Morgan was a slave here, Ren did not look down on her. If a slave was with his Majesty, he had to show the slave respect. Not to mention the fact that Morgan was a Mid 3rd-order. Ren cannot defeat Morgan alone.

“Alright. 5 cups of tea and two strawberry cakes please.” The maid wrote down the order and then excused herself.

ɴ[0)ᴠᴇʟ “Your Highness, I have heard many rumors about you. These days, almost everyone in our Kingdom is talking about you. People were praising how you managed to bring a weak Kingdom to conquer the Zulux Dynasty.”

“Hahaha! You flatter me, Sir Ren. I did what I had to do for Kingdom.” Aditya liked how humble and gentle Ren was despite being the commander of Thera Kingdom’s army. Unlike some pretentious people, Ren was being sincere here. Aditya liked his attitude.

Watson, Morgan, and Ren were a little surprised when Aditya addressed him using the Sir word. “If I may be bold, can I ask if his Majesty has any plans of conquering more lands?”

“Sir Ren, I am more than satisfied with what I have gained by conquering the Zulux Dynasty. I want to protect my land and develop my Kingdom to become one of the most powerful Kingdoms. While doing if some Kingdoms decides to provoke us, then we will have to reply back.”

Aditya’s intentions were clear here. Unless someone provoked them, the Istarin Kingdom had no reason to start another war.

“What about you Sir Ren? I heard the Thera Kingdom’s princess and you have a thing?” Before coming here, Aditya has asked Zachary to gather information on the royal family and nobles of the Kingdom. Aditya knows many things that the general public is unaware of.

“Well….” The young man lowered his head feeling a little embarrassed. Who would thought that commander of a Kingdom would act like a 15 years old teenage boy in love?

“Hahaha! I understand. I won’t ask anything. But if Sir Ren decides to get married someday, then be sure to invite this King as well.”

If Ren becomes the next King, Aditya can easily form an alliance with him. After chatting with him for a while, he now understands Ren’s character. Ren was an intelligent man. He was not arrogant about his power or position. He was humble and knew what his Kingdom’s weaknesses are. In Aditya’s eyes, Ren was the perfect candidate to become to next King.

“Of course. I promise. I will personally write a letter to invite his Majesty.” Both Ren and Aditya talked for 10 more minutes while having tea. Both men understood each other’s ambition and felt that both could form an alliance.

“Your Majesty, we are here.” When the carriage doors were opened, Aditya was the first to come out. Watson, Morgan, and Nathan followed him from behind.

The guards hurriedly opened the doors to let the King of the Istarin Kingdom enter. “This way.” Ren was told to just bring the King of the Istarin Kingdom to the meeting place. But after talking with Aditya, Ren’s respect for the King only increased. So he personally leads the way for the King.

After one minute walk through the long corridor, Aditya and Ren arrived at the round hall where he found various 3rd-order cultivators belonging to the Nepoca and the Nyland Kingdom sitting.

The 3rd-order Dukes and generals of the Nepoca Kingdom instantly got angry seeing what the enemy King has done to their Duke Easton. Duke Easton has become useless. His mana heart has been crippled.

One of the 3rd-order couldn’t control his anger and ended up releasing his 3rd-order Aura.

Booom!

Crack!

The wall started cracking due to the pressure.

“Calm down.” Ren’s words did a magical charm and stopped the 3rd-order before things go out of hand. After calming down, everyone from the Nepoca Kingdom realized that the Thera Kingdom’s general looked very close to King Aditya. It was like they were great friends.

They mistakenly assumed that even the Thera Kingdom which publicly stated that they will be staying neutral was actually supporting the Istarin Kingdom.

Aditya ignored everyone in the whole room. Today he had bigger things in his hand. “You three can wait here. Watson, come with me.”

“Sir, I apologize but Sir Watson is not allowed to enter the meeting room.” The guards couldn’t allow a butler to enter the meeting room.

Before Aditya could say anything, Ren coldly glared at the guard. “He is not a butler. He is King Aditya’s unofficial Prime Minister.” Since the Istarin Kingdom did not have any Prime minister, it was Watson who has been working as the unofficial prime Minister.

Seeing the great commander glaring at him, the guard’s faces turned pale. They quickly opened the iron doors for Aditya and Watson.

Before entering the meeting room, Aditya coldly looked at all the 3rd-orders. For some reason when they looked at those Crimson eyes, their bodies trembled slightly. Even Ren was no exception to this.

“If anything happens, Just call the Wyverns outside the city.” Aditya had created a special signaling talisman that could call his 4 Wyverns even from 100 km.

After saying those words, Aditya and Watson entered the meeting room. The doors were closed by the guards. Ren stood in front of the door with his back facing the door. If he sits next to Watson, then others would think that he was supporting the Istarin Kingdom which he did not want. So standing was the best option for him.

“Welcome Istarin King” The meeting room wasn’t that big. The whole room was lit with bright white light.

There were 3 people sitting at the long rectangular table. The Thera King and the Nyland King were sitting together on the left side. The dining table was filled with hundreds of dishes from all 4 Kingdoms.

“Hello! I think this is the first time we have met face to face. I am Aditya, the Dragon King of the Istarin Kingdom.” After introducing himself, Aditya sat opposite Nepoca King. Just like he expected, the Nepoca King looked like he would kill Aditya just with his glare.
