Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Karshvar Draconis…

"And then, that Half-Elf decided to burn the garbage dump, allowing the smoke to be carried by the wind towards the City of Pygmalion. No one in their right mind would do that, but he did! If not for the fact that His Majesty came to interfere, that Half-Elf might have died by now."

"What an interesting person! I'd like to meet him one day."

"Princess, it will be best if you don't. Didn't His Majesty tell you that if someone looked at your face long enough, you would get pregnant? That is why you must always wear that veil whenever you leave the Inner Palace."

I couldn't help but sigh as I stood up from the spring where I took my bath every day.

Ever since I was born, there had been a few instances where I was able to leave the Inner Palace in secret, and each time I did, I would always bring my handmaidens, Ali and Ari, with me as my guides and protectors.

As soon as I left the spring, my handmaidens immediately dried my body using bath towels that were very smooth and comfortable to the touch.

Sometimes, I wondered if I would be able to tell them apart if not for the color of their eyes. Ali and Ari were twins. Both of them were quite pretty with long blonde hair, and the only difference between them was the colors of their eyes.

Ali's eyes were blue, while Ari's eyes were green. Both of them were two years older than me and had been with me since I turned ten years old.

Because of this, I grew very fond of them. The only thing I disliked about them was their overprotectiveness.

'Do they really think I am a gullible child?' I thought as I walked past them to check myself in the full-body mirror that had been gifted to me by my father on my fourteenth birthday.

'How can someone get pregnant just by being stared at by people? Perhaps they think that Mother didn't tell me that girls get pregnant when someone holds their hands. Silly Ali and Ari, they must think that I'm ignorant!'

The corner of my lips rose as I looked at my reflection in the mirror.

I gazed at my long purple hair that was as smooth as silk, and eyes that were more beautiful than rubies. Two small golden dragon horns could be seen on top of my head, which identified me as a proud member of the Golden Dragon Tribe.

My skin, which was as white as cream, was unblemished by anything. I didn't know if this was a good or bad thing, but Ali and Ari always said that they were envious of my skin's complexion.

Well, the two of them would praise me for everything, and always tell me how beautiful I was and whatsoever. There was even a time when I just yawned, and the two of them said that it was the cutest thing they saw in their life!

At first, I was flattered by their praises, but as time went on, I wondered if what they were telling me was the truth, or if it was just a way to get on my good side.

"... Have they grown a little bigger again?" I muttered as I lightly cupped my breasts which had entered a growth spurt a few months ago.

I turned seventeen a few months ago and ever since then, my body started to show signs of maturing, which made me a little bit happy.

Ali said that at the rate my body was maturing, I would reach C-Cup soon. I don't really understand what C-Cup meant, but I decided to just nod my head as if I understood what she was talking about.

'Mother's were bigger than mine,' I thought as I looked in the mirror. 'Maybe I should ask her more about the changes happening to my body at a later date.'

After admiring myself in the mirror for a few minutes, I allowed Ali and Ari to dress me up as usual. When they finished, I wore the veil covering my face and activated the magic that was imbued in it.

A moment later, a plain-looking girl was reflected on the mirror's surface. Now that my disguise was ready, it was time for me to sneak out of the Inner Palace to explore our Domain.

'This time, I'll go to the Outer Reaches,' I thought with a smile. 'Um, I should inform my mother that I am going to sneak out of the Inner Palace. She always told me that the proper way of sneaking out was to always inform her where I was going. This way, I would be able to leave the palace without being discovered.'

I made a gesture for my handmaidens to follow behind me as I paid a visit to my mother. She had been quite busy as of late, taking care of my little brother that had just been born.

Father, on the other hand, was always busy with the affairs of our Kingdom. But, that was fine. If they were always around, I would not be able to sneak outside without being discovered!

"Let's go, Ali, Ari," I said with excitement. "We're going to the Outer Reaches this time."

"Eh? You're really going there, Your Highness?" Ali frowned. "Half-Elves are known for eating young Dragons, you know? What will you do if he eats you?"

"That's right, Your Highness," Ari commented. "Please reconsider!"

I gazed at my two handmaidens who were looking back at me with pleading gazes. For a brief moment, I hesitated when I heard that Half-Elves eat young Dragons. However, I was not someone that just anyone could bully!

"If he dares to bite me, I will bite him back!" I said with confidence. "Besides, the only thing that has meat on my body is my chest. If he tries to bite them, I will definitely make him sorry. Now, enough chit-chat. Let's go see Mother and inform her that I am on my way to the Outer Reaches."

Ali and Ari exchanged a glance before nodding their heads at the same time.

""If that is your wish, Your Highness, then it shall be done.""

"Good. Let's go to the Outer Reaches!"

"Dear, Valerie has just left," a beautiful lady with long purple hair said to the round mirror in her hand. "She's headed to the Outer Reaches."

"Understood," the Dragon King replied. "I'll take care of it."

A minute later, hundreds of Rankers, accompanied by a handful of High-Rankers, departed from the capital city of Karhsvar Draconis.

Their mission was to ensure that the Dragon Princess, who had successfully "snuck out" of the Inner Palace, would not encounter any danger along the way.

This was already part of their regular routine—hiding their presence from the beautiful, yet gullible, princess who thought that informing her mother was the right thing to do whenever she planned to sneak out of the Inner Palace to play outside.

Valerie was the beloved daughter of their King. If someone was stupid enough to lay their hands on her, the Rankers, who were hiding their presence, would definitely make that person regret that they were even born into this world.
