Dragon King's Harem Chapter 65. May I Go With You?

"Haa..." A long breath escaped from Jyne's mouth as she plopped her tired body onto the bed, letting the mattress and the bed sheet softness touch her skin. She didn't know how long she hadn't felt this way. Although she mostly slept at the Inn, the commoner's bed was not as comfortable as the Palace's.

Her eyes stared at her luxury bed canopy in a daze, a smile formed on her lips as she thought about how she met Argod, how he treated her and also the test. She didn't expect that even though she gave him a bad impression at the first, in the end, Argod gave her the opportunity to prove her sincerity with the test.

"Argod Escavia de Emperor ..." she muttered his name in low voice. Suddenly her face turned red, her hands covered her face in reflex and her head moved side to side in embarrassment as his image appeared in her head.
'Kyaaa---- I can't wait to be your wife!'

She turned her body to the side, her hand took the pillow and hugged it tightly. Her eyes looked at the night sky from the window in that room. Her thoughts returned to Evelina's words when they waited for Argod in the Dining Hall.
'Tomorrow the king, Eir and I will be travelling for a week, so you won't be able to see us for a while. But Sela will be here to keep you company.' She remembered Evelina also mentioned it was a secret trip so only the king's trusted subjects knew about this and she told Jyne because Jyne only knew Argod, Evelina, Sela and Eir in this Palace. So she would be a little lonely after their departure. Jyne had asked about the urgent trip's purpose, considering he had just woken up and Evelina said it was because Argod wanted to pray to sacred places as his gratitude.

The smile on Jyne's lips disappeared and her face turned grim. Her heart felt heavy since she had just found the man she loved yet she had to separate from him. But she couldn't say her complaint since her arrival was clearly beyond Argod's plans. Still... This was her first love, her blazing feelings bugged her a lot. Even though their relationship wasn't official yet...
'I don't want to be separated from him...' she thought. Her hands gripped the pillow tighter.

As the heaviness in her heart grew worse, suddenly, an idea flashed through her head. Her face suddenly brightened and her smile began to grow.
"That's right! I just need to ask His Majesty to bring me with him! I'm sure I'll be of use to him," she said happily. And she was also pretty confident in her survival ability since even though her level wasn't too high for a royal, as a fox tribe that has the Thunder element of Mana, she was pretty confident in her speed to avoid danger. Coupled with her sharp smell, it should be fine.

Without wasting time, she got off of her bed and went out of her room to the king's chamber.

Sela had just fallen asleep and I had just closed my eyes for a while when I heard a ruckus from outside my chamber. I opened my eyes and turned towards the door as I focused my hearing on it. The muffled voices of several people sounded but I could hear some of them.
"Please let me meet him for a minute."

"Forgive us, Your Highness. But His Majesty is resting. Please come back tomorrow morning."

Although the voice sounded faint, I recognized the voice of the person who wanted to meet me.
'Jyne? Why does she want to see me?' I finally decided to let her in to make sure everything was okay. I sat on the bed and stretched out my hand to use my Magic Messenger skill to message the guard to let her in. A small dragon emerged from my palm and flew through the door to carry my message. I wanted to rest and I knew I needed it so I didn't want to bother myself to wear my formal attire again for this short meeting.

Shortly, the ruckus stopped and the door opened. Jyne entered with a shy smile. She bent down her head and trod carefully. This was her first time in a man's room. Since according to the royal rules, a princess may not enter a man's room, even if it was her father's or her brother's room.

As her eyes trailed the floor, her sight caught some pieces of a man and a woman's clothes there. Her heart was beating fast since that meant a woman was accompanying the king to sleep there.

Even though her feet stepped towards me, I realized Jyne's thoughts weren't there.
"Why do you want to see me? Is there something happened?" I decided to return her attention to me.

Her footsteps stopped and she slowly raised her head to look at me.
"I----" Her words stopped as her gaze locked at me with a flushed face and I knew why.

"I was just about to rest. I hope you don't mind." She was my future wife, so I didn't think this would be a problem.

Still, her gaze could not be separated from the king who was sitting on the bed. Although the blanket covered his crotch and legs, his naked torso was clearly visible. She also caught Sela who was fast asleep by his side.
"I-I want to make an important request, Your Majesty," she said as she managed to get her voice out.

"Say it."

"I heard you are going to pray tomorrow. May I go with you?" she asked.

I frowned in confusion at her request. Since I was sure she had just gone through a long journey, yet she wanted to accompany me on this trip.
"Are you sure? Is there something lacking in my Palace?" I asked.

"It is," she said.

"What is it?" I wondered if she didn't like her room.

"It's you," she said shyly.

"Me?" I frowned again.

She nodded her head.
"Tomorrow you will go with Princess Evelina and Sir Eiron. And... I don't know anyone here except you and them..." she reasoned.

"Didn't you already chat with Sela?"

"But I heard Lady Sela will be busy making your order," she reasoned again. Although Sela didn't say what she was making.
"I promise I'll help you, Your Majesty," she pleaded.

I fell silent in consideration. Indeed... Although Jyne's level was not high, her Thunder element Mana was a big advantage for fighting against ice and water monsters. In fact, I actually wanted to make her my wife right now since her feelings and my interests were in line. Unfortunately, I couldn't put my ego like that and neglected the relationship between the two tribes.
"Okay, but promise me. You can't act recklessly or I'll cancel what I said in the main hall earlier," I finally let her follow me.

Jyne's smile grew even more.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" she said in excitement. But she quickly pressed her lips and covered her mouth with her hands as soon as she realized her loud voice could wake Sela.
"Then I will excuse myself, Your Majesty," she said in a low voice.

I answered her with a nod.

After that, she bowed and came out of my room.

My eyes fell on the door that was closed silently as a breath escaped my mouth.
'I hope this trip will go well.' Since I decided to send the letter to the fox king, I had to ensure her safety during the journey. But seeing as she could survive in the wild for months with minimum preparation, I was pretty sure she could accompany me well.

After that thought crossed my head, a mumbling sound came out of Sela's mouth. She sat on the bed with a half sleepy face and turned to me.
"Your Majesty... What happened?"

Seeing Sela's sleepy face, I decided to explain about Jyne tomorrow.
"It's nothing. Just go back to sleep."

"Um.." After she answered me with a short mumble, she went back to sleep.

While I also lay down and pulled my blanket.
"Good night, Sela."
