Dragon Monarch System - Chapter 241

After washing up, Julia and Aditya came to the dining table. “Good afternoon young master.”

“Good afternoon, Watson. You look tired today. It looks like you haven’t taken a break yet.” Watson looked like he might collapse from exhaustion.

“You can take a break.” Aditya did not want his favorite butler and his acting Prime Minister to die from overwork.

“Thank you.” Watson was very happy to finally get a break. Without wasting even a single second, Watson left and went back to his bedroom to get some sleep.

After Watson left, Aditya turned to the remaining others who were sitting at the dining table. Other than Watson, there was Alicia, and, Riya. Leo and his little sister were missing. ‘I guess he has taken his little sister out.’

As for Aditya’s general, every one of them was assigned various tasks which they were currently doing. All of his generals were spread throughout the entire Southern Fire Dragon Empire.

“Good afternoon, Alicia, Riya”

“Good afternoon, darling.”

“Good afternoon, Aditya.” Aditya could feel that Alicia was feeling down. As for why he felt that he was the reason for it.

“Did the two of you have lunch yet?” Aditya asked while sitting down on the head seat.

“No, we were waiting for you.” Alicia sounded a little pissed.

Meanwhile, Julia just smiled seeing Alicia’s reaction. “Ladies, you got to respect the rules that we all agreed upon.” The princess of the Ethereal Empire must have wanted to be the first one to sleep with Aditya so that she can take his virginity. Unfortunately, Julia had every right to claim the first spot.

The day when Aditya started the invasion with the Southern Fire Dragon Empire, the three goddesses sat down and had a long private discussion. In this discussion, Julia officially solidified her position as a leader. Alicia was second in charge while Riya was third in charge. Even if neither Alicia nor Riya did not like the idea, in the end, they had to agree to let Julia be the one to take Aditya’s virginity.

“What rules are we talking about?” Aditya asked with a curious look.

“That’s a secret.” All three of them replied at the same time.

“….Okay….” Aditya noticed that his three wives seems to have gotten closer. It seems the ladies had a deep conversation and finally reached an agreement. Aditya is undoubtfully very happy to see this. Aditya did not want either of them to fight among themselves and reach a point where one would be willing to kill another. This would create a given problem for Aditya in the future.

While waiting, a few maids came carrying several dishes. Although nobles mostly had steak as their lunch, Aditya preferred to have something with rice. Aditya was an Asian in his previous life so he couldn’t get rid of his habit of having rice with his every meal. Just eating Steak at every lunch was too blend and tasteless for him. Though he has to admit that the meat of magical animals in this world was 10 times or even 100 times more delicious. Aditya even heard that the meat of a 5th-order magical animal is the most expensive and also the tastiest meat out there.

“By the way, Aditya, do you remember about my brother’s marriage?” Aditya who was about to start eating froze upon hearing Alicia’s words.

How could he forget about Noah’s wedding? Aditya was so busy this week that he literally forget that he had to attend Noah’s wedding. Aditya dropped the fork from his hand.

“Alicia, why didn’t you remind me?” Aditya felt regret for missing out on such an important event. Even though Aditya knew Noah and got close to him because of Alicia, Aditya and Noah almost become friends, especially after what they experienced together.

“So you do care about my brother’s wedding?” Alicia snorted. Deep down she was happy to see him react like this. This goes on to show that Aditya cared about her family. He wasn’t just putting an act of caring about her family just to please her.

Sigh!

“I am sorry, okay. I was planning on attending Noah’s wedding. But the appearance of the Great Sage Snake and the white Dragon King’s death changed so many things. Because of these factors, I also had to accelerate my plans and launch an invasion of the Southern Fire Dragon empire much earlier than I had initially expected.” Aditya felt that he should apologize to Noah and to the whole Osburn family for missing out on such an important event. Another reason why Aditya cares so much about Alicia’s family is that he had made up his mind to make Alicia is the second wife.

He had confirmed his feelings for her. The goddess also madly loved him back. Alicia was also okay with sharing him with Julia. As a man what else Aditya can ask for? Aditya knows that Julia, Alicia, and Riya, all deserve better. Agreeing to share with him meant that the amount of time that he would be able to spend with them would be reduced. But despite that, they all agreed to share him.

Aditya wanted to keep close ties with his wife’s family. At least he wanted to give his full afford from his side. He doesn’t want to be seen as someone who is not caring. Also, Alicia’s family has been so kind to him. The whole Osburn family treated him as their own son. How can Aditya betray their expectations? As someone who never had family or didn’t receive much parental love, Aditya valued the love and warmth that he received from the Osburn family.

“It’s alright. You can relax. I have told my father about your situation. In the end, father decided to push the wedding. The wedding which was supposed to be held a few days ago has been pushed to tomorrow.” Alicia smiled seeing Aditya’s eyes light up upon hearing her words.

“Really?”

“Yes. Even if my father had not pushed the wedding day, my family would have forced my father to do that anyway.” Meanwhile, Julia started eating. She was listening to their conversation but she had no interest in interrupting them. After the heavy exercise that Aditya made her do last night, the goddess was feeling very hungry. Remembering the crazy battle that she had, the goddess couldn’t help but blush.

The goddess of Nature, Riya, was listening to Alicia and Aditya’s conversation very seriously. Listening to their conversation, the Elf goddess couldn’t help but feel slightly jealous. ‘I shouldn’t have waited this long. I should have approached Aditya and made my move on him a long time ago.’ Now the elf goddess was regretting not acting a little earlier. If she had done that, she could have been in Alicia’s position.

When Julia, Alicia, and Riya, all three had that important meeting. From Julia’s words, Riya had a hunch that Julia was going to make a bold move on Aditya. Normally Julia wouldn’t do something like this given how shy she was in these kinds of matters. But the appearance of two new goddesses had forced Julia to act.

Last night when Aditya and Julia had been lost in their own world, there have been times when Riya wanted to barge in and join them. But she knew that doing this would ruin many important things. Although Riya was obsessed with Aditya, from a young age, she had to accept the fact that Aditya was going to have six other wives besides her. So she had learned to control her urges over the years. Even last night, she controlled her urges by trying to keep her mind distracted; though the distracting part did not work as her mind was constantly remembering about Aditya.

‘I better make my move on my darling before any other vixen tries to claim him.’ Riya already had lost her first position to Julia. She did not want someone else to take her 3rd position.

No one knew what was going on in Riya’s mind. Ever since Aditya came to the dining table, the nature goddess hasn’t stopped looking at him. Even when Alicia or someone else other than Aditya spoke, her eyes always remained on his face. It was as if she couldn’t move her eyes to look at anything.

“So the wedding is tomorrow? Alicia, what should give Noah as his wedding gift?” Aditya always sucked at choosing gifts. He can save hours if Noah’s little sister give him some suggestion or ideas.

“To be honest, it took me a while to also decide what I was going to gift my brother at his wedding. I have decided to gift him Flame Cloak.”

“Flame Cloak? From its name, I can pretty much understand that it’s an artifact related to fire nature. But what does it actually do?” Even Riya and Julia became interested.

“The Flame Cloak was made from the skin of a 4th-order fiery Tiger. Later a professional added enchantment to the cloak; giving it fire nature properties. The flame cloak gives the user 20% resistance to fire-type attacks or spells launched by any 4th-order. The resistance percentage doubles when attacked by any 3rd-order. The flame cloak can temporarily store heat energy before releasing it in form of an attack.”

“Interesting.”

“What would happen if multiple 4th-order cultivators attacks Noah with fire-type spells?”

“Most probably the flame cloak wouldn’t be able to handle all the attacks together.” Even Alicia looked slightly uncertain.

“I see. Then I will also gift Noah an artifact.” Aditya still had to check the Black Dragon King’s storage ring. He was sure that just like the white Dragon King, the black Dragon King’s storage ring also would be filled with treasures and rare things.

“Aditya, I think that tomorrow, we should reveal your identity to my parents.” Before Alicia only pretended to be Aditya’s girlfriend. Who would have thought that she would develop real feelings for this man? Now that Aditya has accepted her feelings, Alicia didn’t want to keep lying to her family.

“Alright.” Aditya also felt that they should tell her family the truth. They deserved to know his background.

“Aditya, do you know a man named Kane? A few days ago he came to the capital looking for me.” Every day more than a hundred thousand people come to meet the goddess of nature. Riya can’t just meet everyone. She would have sent Kane away if the former Skyline King hadn’t told her maids that he was sent here by Aditya.

“You can say that he is an acquaintance of mine. Did you heal him?” Aditya hoped from the bottom of his heart that Kane and his family would live a good and peaceful life.

“It was very easy to cure his disease.” For someone like Riya, healing something like this is very easy.

“Thank you.”

“Darling there is no need to thank me. But if you really wish to thank me then why don’t you take me out on a date?” Riya knew that in order to get ahead of others she must take the opportunity of every chance that she gets. She had a feeling that Aditya won’t refuse her since she had healed his friend.

“I apologize, Riya. But right now I am simply too busy. This entire month I don’t think I would get any free days.” Taking over an empire involved much more than just the invasion. Aditya has to strengthen the defense of the southern fire Dragon Empire. He also has to appoint new nobles who would take care of his new territory. He also has to sort things out and eliminate all the secret loyal men of the black Dragon King. Aditya has to change the laws, bring new policies, launch plans to improve the economy, and lastly decrease criminal activities and ensure public safety.

“Oh….” Riya’s mood went from being excited to being sad and depressed.

“But today, I have a very important thing that I am going to show you all.”
