Dragon Monarch System-Novel

“You can come inside”

Click!

After opening the door, Aditya walked inside the room. Entering the room, he found the guild leader sitting on the couch with her face covered with a veil. Two cups of tea and some snacks were already served on the table that was in front of the couches.

“It’s been a while. First of all, allow me to apologize for making you wait an entire month.” Aditya was supposed to have a meeting with the guild leader of Seeker of impurity right after the war ended. But he was so busy with the administration work that he completely forgot about the meeting. If Julia had not reminded Aditya about the meeting he probably would have forgotten about it.

Aditya bent his body and properly bowed his head in apology. Apologizing to someone won’t damage his reputation. No matter how powerful Aditya becomes, he always is ready to apologize if it’s his mistake.

Unknown to Aditya, the guild leader couldn’t help but slightly smile seeing the dragon king who is widely feared in the eastern part of the continent bowing his head to her. She had seen men who completely changed when they gained power and wealth. But Aditya surprisingly was still humble and respectful to her just like the first time they met in his Mansion.

“Dragon King, you may raise your head.” The guild leader’s tone was authoritative.

“Please sit down.” Aditya nodded and sat on the couches while facing the guild leader.

“Before we start, allow me to once again express my deep and most sincere gratitude for giving me the heart of 6th-order lightning forest deer. I don’t know how to explain it but it helped me a lot.”_.

“That’s fine. Given how intelligent and smart his Majesty is, the dragon king should know that I also want something in return for the heart of 6th-order lightning forest deer.”

Aditya knew that a businesswoman like her wouldn’t simply hand out the heart of 6th-order lightning forest deer to a poor king like him when she can literally sell this heart for billions of royal gold coins. He was not a fool to assume that the guild leader was just being kind and caring.

Seeing Aditya nod, she was satisfied. “Your Majesty, I am sure you will love this tea.” Aditya picked up the teacup and took a sip.

“How is it?”

“It’s really good.” Aditya felt a cool and refreshing feeling spreading throughout his body.

“This tea is imported from the Main continent. Drinking this tea can increase the cultivation speed of 2nd and 3rd-order cultivators by 50%. Not only that, drinking this tea regularly can permanently increase the cultivation speed of a person by 5 to 10%.” Aditya quietly listened as he took a second sip.

“Just one gram of this tea cost about 1000 royal gold coins.” She was expecting Aditya to show some kind of surprised reaction but he was calmly drinking tea without showing any changes.

Aditya took the third sip and then put the teacup on the table and looked at the guild leader. “Guild Leader, why don’t we stop hesitating and just directly tell each other what we want.”

However, the guild leader still continued to drink tea under the veil. Just like Aditya, she looked totally calm and relaxed. “First of all, why don’t we remove all the formalities? My name is Alicia. Your Majesty can call me Alicia or Miss Alicia.”

“Alright, then you can call me Aditya. Miss Alicia now can you please tell me what exactly you want from me?” Aditya felt that calling her miss Alicia would be the best choice. He was not close enough to call the guild leader directly by her name.

“Sir Aditya, why are you so impatient? Just relax and enjoy the tea.” Saying that Alicia took another sip.

“I thought Miss Alicia does not like to beat around the bush and liked to be straightforward.”

“Since Mr. Aditya is so impatient then I won’t beat around the bush any longer. But before I answer can I ask why the dragon king looks so impatient?”

Both Aditya and Alicia knew that both of them were playing mind games here. Alicia was trying to pressure Aditya by telling him about the tea that she gave him. She was trying to make him realize the difference between them by telling him about the cost of this tea. When he heard her talking about the tea, he knew that this woman was aiming for something.

“Miss Alicia, I don’t like to owe people, especially not strangers. Please don’t misunderstand, I can’t express how grateful I am for giving me that heart of 6th-order lightning forest deer. Now that I am done with wars, I wish to settle the debt as long as possible.” Repaying the debt would free Aditya’s burdened heart.

Alicia noticed that Aditya had long stopped drinking the tea. She also understood that Aditya has seen through her. “I will be honest, these days men like Mr. Aditya are very rare. Mr. Aditya has no idea how many men I have seen who became an addict.”

Aditya’s right eye twitched a little. He felt Alicia was purposely targeting his past.

“I can feel Mr. Aditya’s sincerity. I promise I won’t ask for money or wealth or anything valuable. I already have countless money.” Aditya understood that Alicia was using this chance to flex her wealth and indirectly was telling him that she was not interested in his money.

“Before I state what I want from Mr. Aditya, I will have to reintroduce myself.” Under Aditya’s confused stare, Alicia put the teacup on the table and stood up gracefully.

Aditya’s crimson pupils contracted as the guild leader slowly removed the veil that was covering her face.

In the past, Aditya simply assumed that the guild leader’s face was ugly and that’s why she wore a veil over her face. But he just realized how wrong he was. Alicia kept her eyes on Aditya as she slowly pulled down the veil from her face, revealing the hidden rarest gem of the earth.

Her face was so beautiful that for a moment Aditya forgot to breathe. His heart nearly stopped.

Now that she had finally decided to remove the veil covering her face, he was able to look at her face.

She had emerald gems that seems to draw others towards her. Her long black hair was tied by a black-red ribbon with bangs/hair strands hanging on either side, thin eyebrows, and a slim and flexible body that was 1.6 meters tall.

She was wearing a black kimono that covered her sinful body. She couldn’t hide her huge breasts, leaving a small cleavage that made her even more seductive. The kimono was sticking to her body like glue; highlighting all of her curves. Even though her face looked so beautiful and pure, her sinful body said something else.

“I am one of your 7 fiancés. My full name is Alicia Osburn. I believe this is the first time we are officially meeting.” She put her hands together and slightly bowed her head.

Meanwhile, Aditya was beyond shocked. The gentle melodic words were like lightning strikes breaking down his mind. For a moment Aditya’s mind stopped processing. The shock was just too big for him.

“Mr. Aditya?” Hearing his second wife calling his name, Aditya snapped out of his daze and looked at Alicia, the woman who was also known as the goddess of wealth.

“You’re really my wi….I mean fiancé.” Aditya was still having trouble believing in this whole situation.

“What do you think Mr. Aditya?” Alicia politely smiled and gave him some time to calm down first.

Aditya kept staring at Alicia for 10 seconds before going to pick up the tea cup.

Sip!

Aditya took a long sip. While he was drinking tea, he was trying his best to calm his mind and heart.

Cough!

After putting the tea cup on the table again, he glanced at his wife in contract, the very woman who was also known as the goddess of wealth. The very woman who was also considered the most beautiful girl in the continent of Westnia.

“I apologize. I was just too surprised.”

“Mr. Aditya, you’re my fiancé because of that damned contract.” Alicia showed an angry look when talking about the contract.

Alicia proudly looked at Aditya. “Let me warn you from the beginning. I do not consider you as my husband. This entire contract thing is simply a political move. I will never recognize you as my husband. What I am going to ask you will be as the guild leader of the Seeker of Impurity, not as your fiancé.”

“Alright, how can I pay my debt to Miss Alicia?” Aditya was more than happy with Julia on his side. This was the second time Alicia was meeting him. There was no love in this marriage. Before this meeting, he also had zero impressions of his other 6 fiancés. The only thing that was keeping the girls caged was the stupid contract. So if one day Aditya gets the chance, he will break off this contract.

Alicia was relieved to know that Aditya was still addressing her the same way as before. If he had called addressed by her name, this would mean that Aditya was using his rights as the fiancé and was okay with his marriage. “Nothing much, in 3 months’ time, I want Mr. Aditya to come and meet my parents.”
