Dragon Monarch System

Sigh!

"Other than some information about the inner and outer members, we didn't get any information on the core members or the purpose of the organization." Ronnie looked frustrated.

"Uncle, it seems the organization is extremely secretive. A few months back, I actually killed one of the outer members of the organization. But at that time, I had no idea who those people are. It was only a few months ago that I heard the name of the organization."

"You knew the name of the organization? Did you have some kind of confrontation with them or what?" Ronnie and others at the dining table looked very surprised. Sylvie looked at Alicia to see if she knew about it. Seeing that her best friend also looking a little surprised, the dark elf guessed that even the Goddess of wealth didn't know of this side of the story.

"Long story, when my Kingdom was a war with the Zulux Dynasty, I had come to the mountains to find the Majin village. At the same time, 4 Wyverns, three Peak 2nd-order, and one beginner 3rd-order attacked the Majin village. The one who attacked the Majin village was an outer member of The League of Black Tomb. But at that time I didn't know about it."

"A few months later, 14 neighboring Kingdoms and Dynasties together joined hands to attack the Istarin Empire. Fortunately, we managed to win. When I captured the Nyland Kingdom's King, Arthur, he told me that this whole thing was The League of Black Tomb's plan to bring down the Istarin empire."

As Ronnie had sent someone to investigate the history of the Istarin Empire, he knew that Aditya wasn't lying. In fact, it was also rumored that Aditya alone had killed more than a million army with a single attack. At first, Ronnie did not believe in such baseless rumors. It was not possible for a Beginner 3rd-order to do something like this. But Aditya had proved him wrong that day. Whenever Ronnie remembers that giant Crimson orb that had covered the sky and had nearly killed them all, Ronnie gets goosebumps every time.

"But why was The League of Black Tomb after you?" Aditya knew that The League of Black Tomb was after him because they wanted the crown of Seven seas which he got from the Majin village. But Crown of Seven seas was a secret that Aditya didn't want to share with anyone. It was not that Aditya did not trust Ronnie, Alicia, Sylvie, Olivia, and others at the dining table, Aditya felt that some things should be kept secret from everyone. It was not good to tell all of your secrets.

"Apparently they wanted an artifact that I had obtained from the Majin village." Seeing that Aditya is not willing to explain much about the artifact no one asked him any questions regarding the artifact.

"Uncle, what was the Key? What does it do?" Aditya always has been curious about the Key that was taken by The League of Black Tomb.

"I don't know too much about this key. The Previous Ethereal Emperor who was my father, before his death, he had ordered me to keep the key safe and not allow it to be taken by anyone. I had decided to hide that key somewhere inside the Treasury. I thought that no one would be able to steal the key but that was clearly a mistake on my part." Aditya looked at Olivia if the old lady knew anything about it. Unfortunately, she also shook her head.

"Aditya if The League of Black Tomb wants that artifact from you, I feel that sooner or later they are going to send powerful Peak 5th-order cultivators after you." From what Ronnie was told by his informer, although the Istarin Empire had many 4th-order cultivators, the Empire did not have any 5th-order powerhouse.

"Let them come. I am not afraid." To some Aditya's words might sound arrogant but those who have seen him fight would know that Aditya wasn't just being arrogant. Even if multiple Peak 5th-order come to attack the Istarin Empire, Aditya had a way of dealing with them.

The meeting went on for another 2 hours. Other than details about some members and things that Scarlet has done for the organization, nothing important was written in her diary. Ronnie and others were disappointed. They were expecting that the diary would give them some kind of clue or lead on how or where the organization operated.

At the end of the meeting, Aditya gave half-ton solar stones, half ton mana stones, half of 3-star magic fruits, all other lower grade magic fruits, all the armor and weapons, and a spirit stone to Ronnie. It was a difficult time for the Ethereal Empire. Aditya only hoped that these things can help the Ethereal Empire. As for the other things, even though it might sound selfish, Aditya had kept them to build his dragon Palace.

After the meeting, everyone went back to their bedrooms. By the end of the meeting, Ronnie looked very worried. Initially, he was planning on making his son the next Emperor but all the information about The League of Black Tomb was changing his mind. Ronnie wanted to find out all the traitors among the noble ranks before his son ascended the throne.

After the meeting, Sylvie went back and informed all the White Lotus branches to look out if anything out of ordinary happens. The White Lotus guild's branches were spread throughout every single city of this continent. Collecting information should be easy for the White Lotus guild.

As the Night passed, the next morning after breakfast, Aditya became busy studying runes. Aditya fully immersed himself in studying runes. Aditya wanted his Rune Monarch class to reach 4-star. But now even half a day had passed, when in the afternoon, Alicia's maid returned with a piece of very important news for Aditya.

"Thank you for delivering this letter." After thanking the maid, Aditya opened the letter which was written by Watson personally.

[Young Master,

I hope you are doing well. As much as I hate to interrupt you, something important has happened in the Dying Isle continent. In the southern region of the continent, two powerful forces started a massive war. These two powerful forces are the two strongest and biggest Empires in the southern region. A day before yesterday, two letters were delivered to the capital.] Aditya couldn't help but frown.

[I am sure you already know what this means. Both sides are now requesting our assistance in this war. Both parties promised many things if the Istarin Empire agrees to help them in this war. Your Majesty, this war is so big that it has drawn the attention of other Empires. I wouldn't be surprised if other Empires also join this war.]

Using his Crimson Flames, Aditya burned the letter. This was a very important situation. Depending on how Aditya and the Istarin empire dealt with the whole situation, the Istarin Empire either might become even more powerful or will get destroyed.

"I will have to return." Without further wasting any time, that very afternoon, Aditya got ready to head back. After informing Alicia, Ronnie, and Olivia, Aditya used the teleportation array to return back to the Istarin Empire.

Olivia looked very reluctant to part with Aditya. Alicia also looked a little sad when she heard that he was leaving. While Ronnie told Aditya that he has to attend Noah's wedding which will be held in 7 days.

As soon as Aditya was teleported to the Dying Isle continent, several people rushed toward the basement of the royal palace.

Meanwhile, Aditya stepped out of the teleportation array and looked around. "Even though not even an entire week has passed, it feels very good to be back. Nothing can beat the feeling of returning home."

Just as Aditya walked out of the room in which the teleportation array was drawn, a shadow rushed toward him. Aditya opened his arms with a smile and waited for the long-desired hug to come.

The Goddess of Alchemy wrapped her arms around his back while burying her head deep in his chest. Aditya also put his arms on her waist and tightly hugged her.

"I missed you." Aditya had missed Julia.

"Did anything happen in my absence?"

"Nothing happened." After Aditya had left, Julia spent most of her time in her laboratory. Julia was busy making various kinds of pills and potions for the Istarin Empire. She was accompanied by her big sister Paige. From time to time, whenever Amber had time, she would also come and spend time with Alicia. However, without Aditya, Julia felt very empty. This whole castle felt empty without Aditya.

"My dear goddess, why don't you give your husband a returning kiss? Your kiss will heal my soul." Aditya was only joking when he asked for a kiss. Julia took his words seriously. The goddess wrapped her arms around his neck and stood on her toes to kiss Aditya.

Aditya also responded back putting his tongue into her mouth. While the Crimson Dragon King and the Goddess were busy in their own world, they failed to notice Watson.

Cough!

"Young master, I deeply apologize for interrupting you. I will need your attention on this matter." Hearing Watson's voice, Julia was startled. She pushed Aditya like a frightened kitten and then ran away feeling embarrassed as this was the first time anyone had ever seen the Goddess kiss, Aditya.

After Julia left, Aditya and Watson looked at each other in silence for a few seconds before Aditya helplessly smiled. "She is still shy about many things." Aditya wondered who will take care of the fire that his wife just ignited in his body.
