Chapter 58. The Messed Up Plan That Backfires To Its Owner

Dragon King's Harem Chapter 58. The Messed Up Plan That Backfires To Its Owner

Jyne looked at the young handsome dragon king who was sitting on his throne in a daze. Without his cloak, his majestic aura was even clearer. She wanted to speak but she couldn't, her words were stuck in her throat and her body refused to move out of shock and his presence. She couldn't help herself but feeling joy after finding out his true identity. Nothing was more perfect than this, since it meant the man she loves had a higher position than her father's candidate. Moreover, since Argod had introduced Evelina as his wife, he should not be as cold as the rumours said and seeing his kindness in Warmbell Town, he didn't seem like a cruel king like her negative thoughts. But her panic and shock still dominated her heart and mind since she had told him her plan before. A plan that clearly intended to use him as an excuse to escape her arranged marriage.

'I'm so doomed! If I confess my feelings to him, he will think I'm trying to deceive him ... 'she thought in panic.

"Princess Jyne, don't you want to greet me?" I called her again since she was petrified like a statue. But I took that as a normal reaction considering what she already told me back in Warmbell Town.

My voice startled her.

"Ah! Yes." She bowed.

"G-Good evening, Your Majesty. I, Jyne Calisea Purplegloom, the princess of the fox tribe is coming to meet you," she said in a stammering voice.

"You mean, to become my wife?" I fixed her introduction. I wouldn't embarrass her by saying her original purpose in front of Eir and Evelina, but I still wanted a clear thing about us. After all, a Princess travelling without an escort just to meet me would make her sound like a spy from the Fox Tribe or they could think the Fox King had banished Jyne and it could damage her reputation.

Jyne raised her head and looked at me.

"Y-Yes, Your Majesty."

Evelina turned to Jyne in confusion and worry.

"Is your father who sent you here? Where is your convoy? Why are you alone?" The fox tribe territory was quite far from here and to become a harem member, one needed her parents' permission, therefore she could not hide her confusion.

"I-I came alone, Your Highness. To be honest, my father also doesn't know I'm here," replied Jyne without thinking twice over her nervousness. Previously she did not realize who Evelina was, but since Argod had told her his true identity, she quickly realized Evelina was the Dragon King's future wife for a long time, the Princess of Healer tribe. And she had asked Evelina that disrespectful request in Warmbell Town.

Hearing her confession, I sighed secretly.

'Now how do I explain it to Eir and Evelina without exposing her plan?'

As expected, this time it was Eir's turn who was shifted to Jyne in shock.

"Your father didn't know you were here? You mean you ran away from your kingdom?" There was a hint of panic from the tone of his voice. Since the Fox King could think that the dragon tribe kidnapped her and it could damage the relationship between the two kingdoms. He turned to me.

"Your Majesty, we must return her to her kingdom immediately."

Jyne turned to Eir in panic.

"Don't worry. I wrote a letter to my father that I left of my own accord. I also used my Magic Stamp on the letter," she explained. Magic Stamps were special stamps used by royals to prove their letters were authentic. What distinguished it from a regular stamp, the Magic Stamp would use the user's Mana as the ink.

Eir breathed a sigh of relief.

"But why did you run away from your kingdom? Did something happen at the Fox tribe?" asked Evelina with the same worried tone. Usually, when a princess was handed over to a king, her parents would send a notification beforehand to ask for the king's approval. A large convoy would also escort the princess and usually, she would be greeted with a party.

“My tribe is fine, Your Highness. It's just ---” Jyne paused since she couldn't explain her reason bluntly.

"--- It's just ..." In the end, she just repeated the same words before lowering her head.

“She has her own difficulties so she can't say openly here. Still…” I said. My eyes focused on Jyne and she quickly lowered her head after feeling my gaze.

"We have to inform the Fox King that she is here." I believed the Fox King and her brothers were in a panic right now.

"Are you also going to ask the Fox King's permission so Princess Jyne can enter your harem immediately, Your Majesty?" asked Eir.

I shifted my gaze at Eir.

"No. Just send an official letter that says we found the princess in Warmbell Town and she is at the palace in good condition now. Also ..." I returned my gaze to Jyne.

"I need you to write a letter to your father to explain how you are doing and why you ended up here. Don't forget to use your magic stamp on your letter."

Jyne lowered her head again.

"Yes, Your Majesty." She felt quite confused since Argod didn't say anything despite knowing her plan.

"That's enough for today. Eir, order Sarah to prepare a guest room for Princess Jyne." I turned to Evelina.

"Evelina, you have helped me a lot today. Take a rest and prepare yourself for dinner," I said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Then they bowed and walked to the exit without saying anything else. But since I only asked both of them to come out, they could already guess I wanted to discuss something with Jyne.

Meanwhile, Jyne also realized this. In the instant, her face turned panicked and even more paler, fear seeped through her body and her eyes stared at Eir and Evelina who were getting further away from her, trying to avoid my gaze that was fixed on her.

'Oh, father, brothers. I admit that your daughter, your sister, did something stupid by making the dragon king angry. Now I have to face his wrath alone and can't escape from here, ' prayed Jyne. Even though her feelings didn't change, the fear over her mistakes was something else.

- Blam.

The door was closed, Evelina and Eir were already out of the room, yet Jyne was still staring at the door.

"They're gone, Princess Jyne. Now, look at me," I demanded.

In contrast to Argod's voice which sounded casual like a commoner when they met in Warmbell Town, although his tone did not change, after he released his cloak and disguise, his authority as a king was clearly heard from his voice.

In hesitation, she turned to me and gave me a pleading look, like a criminal begging her lord for forgiveness.

I chuckled.

"I haven't said anything, yet you're this scared."

Jyne bent her knees as if I would give her the death penalty.

"P-Please forgive me, Y-Your M-Majesty. I-I didn't mean anything bad to you," she said guiltily.

"I know. But that plan ---"

Suddenly she lifted her head and interrupted me.

"I made that plan before I met you," she said quickly.

"But it's different now, I --- really want to be your wife," she said in a calmer tone.

"Oh really?" I said in disbelief. I couldn't believe her words, after what she said to me before. I leaned myself towards her and smirked.

"Isn't it because you are afraid of me?" I said in a teasing tone.

"Of course not," she replied quickly. But then she lowered her head again.

"But I can't deny that I'm afraid of you now..." she muttered in a low voice. But I could still hear her voice since the room was quiet and there were only two of us here.
