Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System-Novel

440  Talking With The King Part 1

I looked at my chubby-cheeked princess and found her to be as cute as a button. "We will do as you say," I replied with a gentle smile. Adel beamed a smile back and pulled me into her room. It seemed she had been very much prepared because there was a small table with an array of desserts as well as a pot of tea.

Adel walked over, picked up the teapot, and froze when she realized it was not warm anymore. Her lower lip began to quiver, causing me to smile warmly at her. "Here, let me," I said as I walked over and touched the teapot. Soon the tea inside was back to being just the right temperature.

Adel looked at me with shock and amazement in her eyes as she yelled out: "That was amazing!"

"In the future, I will show you many more amazing things. My Little Adel, with me around you will never need to fear being sad and lonely." I said gently as I pulled out the chair for Adel to set. She looked at me with innocent eyes and sat down. I know she did not understand what I meant, but that was okay. Adel was someone I will always stay beside until the day she finally falls in love with me again.

We chatted about this and that, and Adel told me all about the princess training she had to undergo and how boring it was. She told me how much she wished to run away and play with swords and use magic like everyone else. But she was being slowly taught, and in a careful manner, so she was unable to do much of anything.

After snacks, Adel moved to her bed, where she stayed awake a little while longer, asking me all kinds of questions about my life. I, of course, did not hide a thing and answered her questions without any hesitation. "Oh yeah…." I took a system stone out of my inventory and handed it to Adel. "This is called a system stone. With this stone, you can gain a lot of power."

"A system stone?" Adel looked at the shiny stone in my hand before taking it. Only when it left my hand did her eyes suddenly open wide. "What is this!?"

"It is a system. Hit the yes button." I instructed. Adel listened to me and hit the yes button. Once I confirmed everything was set, I sent her a team request.

"This!? Team invite? What is that?" Adel asked. Her eyes were glowing with curiosity.

"It is so that the two of us will always be connected. No matter the time of day or night, I will always know if you are in danger. And I will come to you no matter where you are." I then took out another item. This was something I painstakingly made over the past five years with Atollie's help. In my hand lay two necklaces. Each one was one side of a heart. "Take this and always wear it. No matter where you are I can come to you instantly, all you need to do is call out my name."

The half heart shaped pendant had tiny inscriptions on it. One of the inscriptions was a tracker. I will always know Adel's location, and the second one was a teleportation point. So I can always arrive at her side at any time. And lastly, the third would only activate if she called out my name. It would allow us to communicate telepathically. To turn off communication, she only needed to say goodbye. I carefully explained each function of the pedant and showed her how, when put together, they formed a solid heart. "This is amazing, so then I can talk to you every day! But…. Does this mean you will stop coming here?"

"Nope. I will always come and spend time like this with you every night. I will always be by your side." I answered as Adel reached out and grabbed my hand. She held it tightly as her eyes slowly closed. Not long later, her breathing became steady as she fell into a deep sleep. I slipped out of her hand and walked to the balcony. With a wave of my hand, I set up a barrier around the entrance so that no one other than me could climb in through this window, but it still allowed for the air outside to come in.

I was just about to fly away when I saw a man down below. A very familiar man. I sighed as I flapped my wings and slowly floated down to the ground, and landed behind him. I actually expected him to be here. "You do not need to worry."

"Hmmm….." The man turned and looked at me. He was none other than my future father in law. "I figured as much since you announced your visit this time. My daughter even spoke about her new friend to me."

"I know. This is why I announced my visit. But you can be reassured that in this entire world, there is one person I would never allow harm to befall, and that is my little princess." I spoke firmly, with my eyes showing my clear determination. I knew I could not get out of speaking to this man like this. Adel was five years old after all. Her tongue would slip. Atollie had earlier sent a message to this man for me, telling him I would be here tonight.

"How can I trust a person I just met? You even cast a barrier on my daughter. Did you think these things would go unnoticed?" The king asked.

"Of course, you would notice. Did you think I did not think that far ahead? Just because of my age, do not look down on me. In this kingdom at this time, there is no one more powerful than me. If I really wanted to harm her, I could have done so without question, but here I am, talking with you and being upfront about things. Your Majesty only needs to know that in this life, Adel is the most important person to me. I would rather die than see harm befall her. Plus, she is a child who needs a friend more than anything. I come at night and relieve her of her loneliness and allow her to do her duties during the day. A few hours with a friend is nothing, right?" I could tell the king was a little upset. After all, I was talking to him from the standpoint of someone who used to be an empress.

"You really are a strange one…. Now tell me the other things you mention…."
