Chapter 79: A Queen's Request

Haruki picked up his spear and looked back to his two companions. Medea hurried over and wiped his sweat. While her hood concealed her expression, a soft smile on her face was all but guaranteed, considering the loving care in her hand.

Haruki couldn't help but feel fuzzy from her ridiculous attention to his being. He took the cloth from Medea's hand and gently hugged her. "No need for this. I'll shower when I return."

Medea nodded enthusiastically in response to his whispers without an ounce of embarrassment. "I'll clean everything."

Haruki looked toward Semiramis, half-expecting the former empress to pout as a display of jealousy. Semiramis, however, carried an uncharacteristic solemn look.

'What got her serious?'

He separated from Medea, who seemed very reluctant to leave his embrace. "Semi?"

"My master, do you know anything about the monster you fought? It gave me a very familiar feeling. As if I've seen it before."

Haruki thought over Semiramis' unexpected nostalgia with Uridimmu. As a former queen, Semiramis had great judgment. She couldn't possibly mistake Tiamat's offspring for some ordinary beast.

'Tiamat's spawn Uridimmu and Semiramis.'

He wrecked his brain and found a connection between the two.

"Their roots."

The former queen of Assyria and Tiamat originated from the same placeAncient Mesopotamia. Assyria, the empire Semiramis ruled, existed in an ancient Mesopotamian Civilization. And Tiamat was a goddess that hailed from the Mesopotamian religion. It made sense Semiramis found the beast familiar.

"Genius." Arch gave a rare word of praise.

'It's common history bullshit.'

"My master, where did you go?" Semiramis waved her hand in his face. "You can borrow my chest if you want. Just don't fall asleep while standing."

She patted her chest, causing her mature bosom to shake. It wasn't a gesture to seduce, yet it grasped Haruki's attention. The endless ravine descending in her black dress firmed its grip on Haruki, pulling him in and never letting go.

The former queen didn't miss the momentary distraction her gesture caused. Her lips curled mischievously.

Medea's silence was unexpected for Haruki. He took a closer look at her, only to find her shaking. He glared at Semiramis, who gave an apologetic smile.

"I went too far"

Her apology saved her from the punishment Haruki had in his mind.

"Medea," Haruki muttered as he took the sorceress into his arms and patted her back. "No one is taking me from you. Medea is my first woman, okay?"

His warmth and his words poured cold water on Medea's raging nightmares. "I'm sorry, Haruki-sama for being so insecure. I-"

"Medea, if you said sorry again, I" he leaned down and bit her ears hidden under her hood. "I swear on my mother, I'll fuck you here. Right before Semiramis' eyes. I'll not stop until I fill your womb with my semen."

He took used his mother's method against Medea.

Medea shivered. "T-That is too much."

"We, dragons, don't know where to draw the line between tame and extreme."

Medea gave a stuttering nod. "I won't do it again."

Haruki gave her a pat on her head to cheer her up and moved away. Medea took a deep breath and flipped back her hood. Remorse was written all over Semiramis' face. Had it changed Medea's mind from taking revenge? Not so much. Medea had to make a statement to maintain her 'position.'

Her mouth twisted into a wicked grin that had earned her nickname 'Witch.' "Semiramis, Haruki-sama and I share the deepest bond. I advise you to seek someone else to satisfy your lustful urges this dungeon is not for utterly perverted specimens such as you."

Medea's sharp words of insult stunned Semiramis. Regaining her calm, she laughed and pointed at Medea's crotch. "You are no less perverted than me, Miss Witch."

Blush was easily noticeable on Medea's pale skin. "What are you trying to say?"

Haruki blinked his eyes. 'Did she get wet from that?'

Medea wanted to run away and hide somewhere. For the sake of her pride, she stood there with a calm face, despite the sweat trickling down her forehead.

"Medea, let's not continue this fight," Semiramis said and extended her hand in an attempt to signal a ceasefire. "I want us to be friends."

Her request caught Medea and Haruki by surprise.
