Dragon Monarch System



"Why is she like this?"

"Don't worry. Even though both of us serve the same Master, she and I very rarely interact. I don't know much about her. But from her reaction, it was clear that she isn't interested in a human like you." Spoke Greenwood, who has been sent here along with Amber. Greenwood is the Guardian of the Dragon Palace. Ever since he swore allegiance to the Dragon Monarch, he has never taken part in any battle. So this time, Aditya sent him with Amber to gain experience while another beginner 5th-order Dragon warrior replaced him temporality.

"For some reason, I feel like you're looking down on me." Replied Alexander while taking another sip.

"I am not looking down on you. The Istarin Empire is full of Powerful Dragons and Dragonians. As someone who has the Royal Fox Queen bloodline, A Dragon or a Dragonian is more suited to become her future partner."

"She has Royal Fox Queen Bloodline?" Alexander gasped in shock seeing him nod his head.

Greenwood was very bored. He is very diligent and would spend most of his time cultivating inside the Dragon Palace. Greenwood was one of those rare few cultivators who were able to detach themselves from worldly matters and focus completely on cultivation. Not even once, he felt bored while staying inside the Dragon palace for months without going out.

He loved silence more than anything. He didn't like speaking too much either. He is somehow who finds peace in cultivating. Even when he was a wild Dragon, most of his time was spent cultivating in his cave. The only times he would go out of his cave is when he needed food and water.

"That's just my opinion. I am interested to see what kind of powers the child would have whose parents have a Dragon bloodline and Royal Fox queen bloodline. As for who she chooses as her future partner that's entirely up to her to decide." Greenwood replied before taking another sip. As the sweet drink passed through his throat, Greenwood frowned before looking at the cup.

Meanwhile, Alexander looked defeated hearing Greenwood's words. But it didn't even take him 5 seconds to recover his confidence and his resolve to keep pursuing Amber. 'No matter what happens, I am not giving up.'

"By the way, why does this juice have the flavor of a strawberry?" Greenwood broke the silence as he stared at the green liquid.

Alexander brightly smiled and replied. "Because I love strawberries. I think adding a strawberry has made the Sun Joy juice more tasty."

"What's with this cringy name?"

"___"

After a few seconds of awkward silence and failing to come up with any answer...."Don't ask me. How would I know something like that?"

"....Makes sense." And then took another sip.

Two men kept each other company in silence. Alexander was not an introvert. He was an extrovert who loved socializing. For him, this silence was suffocating. It was as if with each passing second, the burden on him to say something was increasing. While Greenwood enjoying this silence.

"I have noticed this before. Despite only being a beginner 5th-order cultivator, I can't help but feel as if you're almost strong as me if not equally strong as me. How are you so strong?" Alexander never thought he would find himself asking such questions to a lower-order cultivator. But Greenwood's strength had made him very curious.

Greenwood lightly glanced at Alexander who was pouring himself another cup of Sun Joy juice and before responding. "It's difficult to answer. If I had to reply, I would say my race and my bloodline give me an edge." Even before meeting Aditya, Greenwood was a wild Dragon. Being a Dragon he was very powerful. But after he became a Dragon warrior, his bloodline became even purer which made him even stronger.

Sigh!

"Sometimes, life can be unfair." Alexander again felt depressed. Every Dragonian that Alexander has met was extremely powerful. It was as if Heaven had blessed the Istarin Soldiers to be special.

"Alexander, I want to tell you something."

"What is it?"

"Don't fucking add any strawberries into this juice. It tastes horrible."

"....Okay. You're not exactly kind with your words."

"That's how I am. With each sip, the taste only keeps on becoming horrible." Watching Greenwood leave, Alexander sighed before taking out a bag of strawberries. Feeling depressed, he put several strawberries in his mouth and began to eat them with Sun Joy juice.

As he chew the strawberries, he smiled like a small child who was eating his favorite food. "I am definitely not changing anything."

Scene change______

Amber returned to her tent which was set up for her by the soldiers of her division. Around 30% of Amber's division was made up of Fox race people. All the Fox race people loved and respected Amber. They treated her like their Queen.

As Amber entered her tent, she found her right hand looking very excited. Ella is also the 5th division's vice Captain and was the second most powerful soldier in Division 5 after Amber. "Lady Amber, after this fight is over, do you want to go with us to see the pink lake?"

"Pink Lake?"

"It's a special lake located in the Qeyesha Empire."

Hearing this Amber frowned. In the middle of the war, how can they leave their positions and go sightseeing? And that it is also inside the enemy's Empire. Amber found this idea to be crazy. She was about to scold Ella for this.

"Lady Amber, this lake is very near the Glouto Mountain range. And the area around the Lake and the Glouto Mountain range is totally empty. Hardly anyone lives in this part of the Empire." Hearing this Amber didn't know what to do anymore. She was also tempted to go and see this pink lake but she was still hesitant. Her duties were stopping her from going.

"It is said that near the Pink Lake, there grows a special type of fruit. After eating this fruit, one would dream about His/her Soulmate." Ella's words broke the last bit of hesitation that Amber had. Just like Ella, Amber also wanted to know who will become her future partner.

"How did you know about this?" Amber asked as she and Ella had never come to this region.

"A friend of mine from the Echo Dominion Empire's army told me this." Ella met her when they were setting up tents.

"I happen to meet her......Boooom!!!"

Everyone in the tent became alert hearing the sound of magic cannons being fired. Amber ran out of the tent to see what was going on. Outside, she was soldiers running here and there. The whole situation was chaotic.

"Prepare the Magic Cannons!!!" Her voice reached the ears of the soldiers who were assigned to load and fire Magic cannons.

"Greenwood, what is happening?" Amber quickly found Greenwood who was standing a few meters above the ground and looking in the direction of South.

"It appears, the enemy is attacking us with Magic Cannons." Saying that he created a giant dark green shield that was over 20 meters big in size. The Dark green shield was transparent in color.

Booooom!!!!

The dark green shield blocked the magic cannon attack. But the attack left a small crack in the middle of the shield.

"How did the enemy come so near to us? What happened to all of our scouts?" Amber was angry at the soldiers who had been put in charge to look out for the enemy troops and alert them. She thought those soldiers were slacking off. She even decided to harshly punish them later once this fight ends.

Booom!!!

Blocking the second magic cannon attack, Greenwood frowned and replied. "The enemy has someone who is very good at illusion magic. This means, our soldiers were under an illusion this whole time." Amber and Greenwood noticed the crack on the dark green shield expanding.

Amber frowned hearing Greenwood's explanation.

Booom!!!

His Shield blocked the third attack. The shield was on the brink of collapsing. Probably another attack would break the shield.

"Amber, what is happening?" Alexander ran in front of Amber.

She and Greenwood can smell strawberries from Alexander. This guy was busy eating strawberries. His pant pockets were full of strawberries. He must have hurriedly stuffed all the strawberries in his pocket before running here.

Drop!

Suddenly a strawberry fell out of his pocket. Seeing this Alexander hurriedly kneeled to the ground and gently picked it up.

Unknowingly all the respect that Amber and Greenwood had for this man had begun to disappear. At first, they saw Alexander as someone who is very serious and smart. But now he looked like an idiot to them. Especially in Amber's eyes, she had no respect for this man.

Booom!!

This time, the shield broke down. But by now, the troops were ready to counter back.

"Fire!" On Alexander's commander, 10 magic cannons were fired at the same time.
