ALL NOVEL Chapter 60. Kiss Me
Dragon King's Harem Chapter 60. Kiss Me
"B-But how?" she said in a stammering voice.
"Kiss me," I demanded with a smirk. I was not sure she would dare to do it since it was the same as kissing a beast. Well, with this looks, a monster was more suitable for me than a beast.
Again, she was stiffened.
"What's the matter? Did what you say earlier was just a bluff?" I challenged her.
"After what you said to me in Warmbell Town, I can't trust you and risk my reputation as a dragon king. But if you can prove what you say, I'll let you into my harem," I added. I could remember when I was working as a prostitute, women liked me for my good looks and my nice body. And I didn't want that to happen to my current self. Unlike Evelina who had been faithfully waiting for Argod for years and Sela who had accompanied him, Jyne was a new woman in my and Argod's life. I had no memories of her and know nothing of her. Moreover, with my status as the dragon king, I didn't want her to become my wife for another hidden purpose.
Meanwhile, Jyne looked at Argod without being able to say anything. Afraid? Yes, she couldn't deny it. Still, she didn't move from his embrace, even though she could release herself and run away at any time. Her feelings flared up. Her fear, confusion, shock, love mixed in her and also… admire. Yes, she admired him. Argod treated her with respect during their short journey. Then despite everything she said, he didn't spit out his anger nor immediately sent her home, not even humiliating her in front of Evelina and Eir. On the other hand, he also did not immediately accept her as his wife which indicated he wanted a relationship based on honest feelings, not for lust or a need to make his successor.
At this point, she already realized Argod just wanted to test her. It was a normal thing after what she said in Warmbell Town.
'I believe he's the one ...' she thought. She made up her mind.
After that long pause, I decided to end my test, but what she did surprise me. She raised her hands and hugged my neck. At the same time, she bumped her smooth lips against my hard and rough lips. Her eyes closed in nervousness and her face still showed obvious fear. It was a strange feeling for me since a dragon's mouth feature was not suitable for kissing but only for killing and tearing off its prey.
'I see ... She made her decision,' I thought. Since she had already done what I asked I had no reason to continue this test any longer.
'Cancel the dragon form.'
In just a second, my head changed to my human form. While her lips were still on mine.
[You have deactivated your Dragon Form.]
Seeing she still in her position even though I had returned to my human face, my lips moved to grab hers.
Reflexively, she released her kiss in shock since she thought I would bite her. A little bite from me could cost her at least a quarter of her head.
"You don't want it?" I said in a casual tone with a smirk.
She was stunned. Seeing that I had returned to my human form, her eyes filled with tears.
"You scare me. I thought you would eat me ..." she said holding her sob.
I chuckled.
"Times have changed. Dragon tribe does not eat other tribes like before," I said in the same casual tone. I could understand her fear since Dragon was the top predator in Igixar's food chain. There were times when the Dragon Tribe did not hesitate to eat their enemies on the battlefield. But it was a long time ago. Because of that superiority, Draconis became an Empire, not a kingdom, since previously many enemies' territories fell into this Empire. While my position remained as a King, not Emperor. Why? Because each tribe had their own King and Queen. Even if their territory had fallen to me and their king had been defeated, his descendant was the one who would become the king. In other words, only someone from that tribe could be the ruler. It couldn't be changed by anyone, even by me since it came from each tribe's instinct itself. Just like a group of wolves that would refuse to be led by a lion even though the lion had killed its leader.
"So ... Are you going to let me be your wife?" she asked. She was calmer now.
"Yes, but after I get your father's permission. I don't want to ruin the relationship between the fox tribe and the dragon tribe just because of this problem," I said.
"Are you going to send me back before my father give his permission?" she asked again.
"No. Just stay here and wait for your father answer," I said.
"Answer?" she asked.
"Yes, I will send a separate letter to your father. Therefore I need your help to explain your wish to be with me in your letter," I replied. Eir's letter was an official letter from Draconis which only dealt with Draconis' interests. But my relationship with Jyne was not based on political interests. That's why I was planning to write a separate letter to the king of the Fox tribe if Jyne could pass my test.
Jyne's face brightened at once. Who knew her love that she thought would wither before it bloomed could go well.
"Really?" she said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," she said.
"I know you're tired. But would you like to join me for dinner?" I offered her. I was sure she must be starving since she hadn't eaten anything but my candy. After what she had been through, a proper royal dinner would be a great start to her stay in this place.
"With pleasure, Your Majesty," she said with a smile.
After that, we were silent since she didn't move from her position.
"Jyne, may I?" My gaze pointed to her body which was still sitting on my lap, asking her to stand up.
"Ah! Of course!" Swiftly, she stood awkwardly. She could not hide her happiness and wanted to sit on his lap longer.
I stood up from my throne and snapped my fingers as I used my Telekinetic skill. My cloak flew towards me and I caught it without turning my gaze to it.
"C'mon, I'll show you where your room is," I said as my feet moved down the stairs. I knew I could order a servant to do it. But I decided to escort her by myself as compensation for my previous test.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Then she followed me.
