Dragon Monarch System

"I am not your wife," Alicia replied back in a cold and in a threatening tone.

Seeing the Goddess of wealth this serious, Aditya felt like rolling his eyes. He obviously was joking with her. "Guild leader, I never call you my wife. Besides, who would want someone like you as a wife? Don't misunderstand me, you really lack the feminine touch that a girl needs to have to attract men. My Julia is a hundred times better looking than you."

"You...you....." Aditya suddenly felt that he had said too much seeing the Goddess trembling while trying to hold her anger.

"Guild Leader, please calm down. Getting angry is not good for a girl's health. I heard that those who easily get angry, develop wrinkles on their faces at an early age." Alicia took a deep breath to calm herself. She was the most beautiful woman on the continent of Westnia. The Goddess of wealth's beauty isn't anything less than Julia's. Both girls were exceptionally beautiful.

Alicia knew that Aditya was only joking with her. But for some reason when he indirectly called her ugly, she could not stop herself from getting angry.

"Your Majesty, I am sure you must have a reason for asking me to come today." In other words, the Goddess of wealth was holding a grudge against the Dragon King. He understood that given how formally she was addressing him. Alicia was also indirectly telling him to not waste any more time and tell her what he wants.

But Aditya did not reply immediately. He sipped some tea while looking at Alicia with a small smile. Never did he think that his joking would anger the seemingly perfect-looking goddess Alicia this much. At first, when Aditya met her, he felt Alicia was someone who had complete control over her emotion given the way she controlled her emotions and kept herself calm and collected all the time.

This meeting was their third meeting. Aditya realized that his second wife in the name is not just a cold workaholic president. Alicia had other emotions that she did not show to others. For example, the guild leader getting angry is a very rare thing.

"Miss Alicia, why don't you try this tea? I am sure you will love it." Alicia felt like leaving hearing his question. While waiting for 2 hours, she had more than 5 cups of tea. Now this man dared to ask her to drink more tea.

"Your Highness, I would really appreciate it if you just tell me what you want. I have other works to do." Alicia's tone was impatient. She wanted to go back. Wasting 2 hours was already too much for her. She did not wish to waste more time.

"Since the guild leader is in hurry then I won't waste your time any longer," Aditya said as he put the teacup on the table.

'Finally.....' Alicia sighed in relief.

"I want 11 Satyr Horn, one hundred top-grade mana stones, 11 liters of unicorn's fresh blood." Hearing the name of the things that the King wanted, Alicia couldn't help but raise her eyebrow in surprise.

"Your Majesty, are you perhaps planning on building city defensive barriers?" Alicia knew that these items were used to build city defensive barriers and to make teleportation arrays.

Aditya noticed that Alicia now had regained her former calmness. "Yes. I am planning on building defensive barriers and also teleportation arrays." Aditya did not hide this from Alicia. He was planning on upgrading the Istarin Kingdom with defensive barriers. Using teleportation arrays to connect all the cities of the Istarin Kingdom.

"Can I ask a personal question?"

"Go ahead."

"Who is going to make defensive barriers and teleportation arrays?" Alicia had heard from Julia that Aditya was good at runes. But his rune skills weren't good enough to draw 3-star rune spells.

"What if I said I am going to build defensive barriers and teleportation arrays?" This time the goddess could not remain calm.

"But I heard you were a 2-star runemaster around a month ago." Alicia knew that even the genius runemaster would take an entire year to reach a 3-star rank. But here this man was claiming that he can make 3-star rune spells.

"Believe it or not. I am not lying." Aditya did not explain anything in detail. Whether she believes in his words or not, Aditya does not care.

"Alright, but getting those materials will take some time."

Aditya did not reply. He stared at the goddess with a smile. As seconds passed in silence, his stare was starting to make the goddess uncomfortable.

"Why are you staring at me?"

"Miss Alicia, your guild is spread almost every corner of the continent. I am sure your guild has personal teleportation arrays that allow you and your guild members to move around. Getting those materials should be the easiest thing for you." Aditya suspected that the Seeker of Impurity had private teleportation arrays when he heard that Alicia managed to get the heart of the Peak 6th-order Lightning forest deer within a day.

"You knew?" Alicia asked in a surprised tone.

"I was 80% sure of it. But now I am 100% sure."

"Alright. But using the teleportation array to get these materials will going to cost more."

"I don't mind. Right now I am not lacking in money. I want all the materials before tomorrow afternoon."

"Hmm. It will be a little difficult to complete the task in a such short time but I will do it. But know this I am not giving you any discount just because we know each other. Business is business." Aditya nodded his head. Right now he had millions in his pocket. The safety of his Kingdom mattered more than money. Rather than saving his money, he would invest it to make his kingdom even stronger.

"Alright. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave." Alicia was about to leave but then Aditya's words stopped her.

"Goddess, since I have promised you to help you. Why don't you help me a little?" The Goddess instantly understood what he wanted.

"If you're looking for information about other kingdoms, then I have to apologize. The Seeker of Impurity does not work for any Kingdom." Aditya was not the first king to ask her for something like this. Many other kings and nobles also have tried to gain the support of the guild but all have failed. Julia's purpose was to do business not get involved in politics.

"Goddess, why don't you help me this time? I will help you out in the future when you need my help. I only need you to keep an eye on the Nyland Kingdom. I want you to inform me of the changes taking place within that Kingdom." Aditya was not surprised when Alicia rejected his offer without even wanting to listen to his words. But he still wanted to give it a try.

"Aditya, can you please stop addressing me using goddess?"

"Alright. I want to know your answer."

For the next five minutes, the goddess fell into deep silence. After thinking for a while, the goddess shook her head. "Aditya, I mean no disrespect but neither I nor the seeker of impurity guild will get involved in any politics. My intention is to do business."

"What if I tell you that some secret forces are targeting me and my kingdom? What if I tell you that as soon as the Nyland King dies, 15 kingdoms are going to attack the Istarin Kingdom?" Alicia widened her eyes hearing Aditya's words.

The next day, the news of what that has happened to the Paladin dynasty spread in every direction. All the kings were frightened by what had happened to the Paladin dynasty. It was found that one 1/3 of the total paladin dynasty was destroyed and turned into a gigantic crater. Some people claimed that more than half a million of people have been killed.

No one knew anything about the culprit. The only thing that everyone knew was the crimson lightning that descended from heaven in the form of a dragon.

The news was so shocking that King Ethan, King Lewis, and other kings who secretly had formed an alliance had to call for an urgent meeting. No one suspected Aditya to do this as everyone knew that the Istarin King did not have crimson lightning power.

One other thing that made King Ethan and King Lewis call for the urgent meeting was the fact that King Aditya had bought 33 powerful wild dragons and Wyverns. According to the news, more than half of the Wild dragons and the Wyverns were beginner 4th-order. This news worried everyone except for the Deep Sea Palace king.

The Nyland king also got the news. He sent a letter to Aditya to explain about these Wild Dragons and Wyverns. Aditya of coursed lied. He came up with a lame excuse. Even if the Nyland King knew that Aditya was lying, they had no choice but to accept it as the current Istarin Kingdom had surpassed them in military power.

Meanwhile, Aditya got busy in making defensive barriers and teleportation arrays in all of his 11 cities. It took him a total of 15 days to complete the whole project. On the 15th day, Aditya got some unfortunate news from the Nyland Kingdom.

Honestly, the news did not surprise him. The Nyland king who has ruled the Nyland Kingdom and protected it for many decades has passed away. Just like Aditya had seen in his nightmare, it seems Nyland king's son prince Arthur managed to become the next King.
