Dragon Monarch System

The previous Chapter 540 has been edited to fix some details - Riya, her mother, and her grandmother are Royal Elves, not High Elves. I made this mistake while writing this chapter. Please take note of this. 

________________

In the room that looked like a tree house, there was such a peaceful and lovely library. The walls were a mix of strong wood and clear glass. This lets a lot of sunlight come in and shows off the beautiful green trees and plants outside. 

The room was full of bookshelves that held all kinds of books, from old stories to important writings from long ago. The shelves were made of shiny wood that gave off a warm light all around. And the room didn't just have trees outside; big, tall trees grew right up from the floor, their leaves making a sort of roof above. Sunlight came through the leaves and made pretty shapes on the floor and walls. 

For sitting, there were comfy nooks and spots with soft pillows and chairs, right next to the green trees and plants. This made it feel like the outside world and the room were all one big space.

In this amazing room, two beautiful ladies were sitting on a couch. One of them said, "Big sister, we have to keep our Riya away from that Dragon King. It's really important."

"Big Sister, do you even realize just how much the Elders are going to be pissed if you allow a Dragon to marry the Royal Elven Princess of our Celestial Terrain?" The one who spoke was the sister of the current Elven Empress of the Celestial Terrain Empire. Her name was Seraphine. 

Just like Riya and her big sister, she has long beautiful silver hair and elongated elf ears. Bangs covered her forehead. She was extremely beautiful. She had modest-sized breasts and a large round ass. She was fair-skinned. She had golden eyes. The white dress she wore tightly hugged her body and highlighted her curves. She also wears two flower-like ornaments in her hair.

There was a woman sitting on the couch and was reading a book. The woman looked very much like Riya herself. In fact, both of them looked more like twins than mother and daughter. No one would guess that these two are mothers and daughters as both of them looked so much alike. The only difference between them was that this woman's breasts and ass is slightly bigger compared to Riya's. 

The woman who was Riya's mother wore a modest dress. Unlike her little sister, her dress wasn't so revealing. 

Seraphine, with a serious face, laid out all the problems that could come up if Riya and Aditya got married. "Riya is supposed to be the next Empress here, right? She's also the Goddess of Nature. How can we let her marry someone who's not even one of us, an Elf? If she marries him, she'll leave and live in the Istarin Empire. Do you know how much people would dislike us and her for doing that? And, if she goes away, who will take your place as the leader?" Seraphine was trying to say that this whole matter would cause chaos throughout the entire continent. 

Riya's mom, the current Empress, put down the book she was reading. She looked at her younger sister Seraphine and spoke gently, "That's enough, Seraphine. I already know what could go wrong."

Seraphine, still concerned, softly suggested, "If you know what could happen, why let it? You should stop their relationship. Riya should marry someone from our own people, an Elf man. That way, we keep our family traditions going." 

"My dear sister, think about it: my son could be a wonderful choice to be Riya's future husband. They've been friends since they were little kids. They get along so well. And if Riya marries him, our family's Elf blood will stay pure. Plus, Riya won't have to move far away; she can stay close to you," Seraphine told her older sister, knowing well that Amelia was always very protective of Riya and would want to keep her nearby.

Seraphine noticed her words were starting to make her big sister think. This made her really happy. For a long time, she'd been hoping that Riya would marry her son. That kind of marriage would be really good for both her and her son in many ways.

Amelia, the current Empress and Riya's mom, looked at her younger sister Seraphine. What her sister was saying made a lot of sense, but she didn't want to decide something so big without talking to her daughter first. Amelia thought to herself, 'Riya wrote to me, saying she's coming home with Aditya. This will be a good chance for me to meet him and see what kind of man he has grown into.'

"Seraphine, before making any big choices, I really want to meet with Riya and Aditya. They're coming home today, you know. Your son is a wonderful young Elf, but I can't force Riya into a marriage that won't make her happy," Amelia said, her voice filled with love for her daughter. Amelia knew very well how much Riya loved Aditya. She also remembered Aditya from when he was just a little boy.

Things had changed over the years, and the two families weren't as close as they used to be, but Amelia still thought Aditya deserved a chance. She wanted to see for herself if he was the right person for her daughter.

Listening to her sister's words, Seraphine kept a smile on her face, but deep inside her heart, she was very unhappy. She was even thinking bad thoughts about her older sister for not immediately agreeing with her plan.

"Big sister, just so you know, the 10 elders might have some tough questions for you about this," Seraphine warned while keeping a polite smile on her face. The 10 elders are really important people in the Celestial Terrain, looking after all sorts of things. They have about as much say in how things are run as Empress Amelia does. In other words, the political power that these 10 elders have is equal to the Empress. 

"I'm aware of that, don't worry," Amelia responded, sounding a bit tired and frustrated. When she thought about the 10 elders, she couldn't help but feel a little bit annoyed. For the past few months, they have been nothing but a headache. Any time she wanted to make a new law, or change something, they would fight her on it or make things difficult.

"Alright, I'm going to go now, big sister. Take good care of yourself," Seraphine finally said as she made her way out of the room. She had other important things she needed to do.

"Alright, I will let you know once Riya arrives." Seraphine nodded her head. 

Amelia looked at Seraphine's back for a second before she went back to reading.

Scene change_____

As Aditya and Riya sat in the fancy royal carriage, they made their way toward Riya's family home. The Elven Society was like no other place Aditya had ever seen. Even though they were right in the heart of the capital city, big, tall trees were all around them. It was like a forest in the middle of the city. Trees were everywhere you looked.

Some of the houses were made out of wood, cut, and shaped into cozy-looking homes. But what was even more surprising was that some homes were built right inside the trunks of massive trees. The feeling in the air was really calming and soothing. And there were even more houses up in the tree branches. These treehouses were truly works of art, each one unique and so very pretty.

"Why didn't I come to visit this amazing place sooner?" Aditya thought to himself. The Celestial Terrain was such a beautiful and peaceful place. Just being there, he felt so calm and so at ease. The whole city looked like a paradise for people who love nature, with its tall trees and wooden houses blending perfectly into the natural surroundings. It felt like a dream world, and Aditya couldn't help but feel completely at peace.

Aditya felt like he had stepped into a completely different world, one that was far removed from the cities he knew on other continents. The Celestial Terrain was unique, and he could feel its special vibe.

"Is it common for elves to mostly eat fruits and veggies?" Aditya was curious because his army general, Scott, who was a dark elf, always seemed to go for veggies over meat. On the other hand, his friend Josh, who was a beastman, loved meat more than anything else.

Riya smiled and said, "Well, it's not the same for all elves. A long time ago, certain groups of elves would eat only fruits, veggies, and nuts. For them, eating meat was looked at as a really bad thing, almost like an evil act. Even though many of these groups aren't around anymore since our empire came together, some families still follow this way of eating. But times are changing. These days, many of us do eat meat, but we still like veggies a bit more. For me, I don't really care what I eat. What matters to me is that the food tastes really good."

Aditya nodded his head in understanding. He found it fascinating to learn about the food customs in this unique and beautiful place, where nature and tradition mixed together in such a harmonious way.
