Chapter 156. The Fox Siblings II

Dragon King's Harem Chapter 156. The Fox Siblings II

The lunch was over, Jyne and I moved to the parlor room and talked for a while. As I expected, Jyne talked about the duel, or rather she tried to warn me about her brother's skill. She also said the arena would give him a lot of advantages and advised me to use the indoor one.

Despite her good intentions, I politely refused. I also explained that she didn't need to worry about the upcoming duel and what I needed was her trust. Even though her worries bother my pride, I couldn't blame her either.

She rarely left her palace and I bet during her trip, she rarely encountered high-level warriors. So she always thought her father and brother were the greatest. Moreover, I had never gone all out in front of her so she didn't know how far I could go.

After hugging her to calm her down, we got out of the parlor room and went with Arter, Eir, and Evelina to the battle arena.

"What do you think? Do you need anything for tomorrow's battle?" I asked. Our feet trod leisurely in the middle of the arena.

"I don't need anything, Your Majesty. This arena is perfect." A confident smirk appeared on Arter's lips.

"Especially for a thunder user like me."

But I replied with a gentle smile.

"Jyne has mentioned it before. She said you are invincible in open areas like this," I said in a casual tone.

"Really?" He chuckled and glanced at Jyne who was walking beside me.

"What else did she say?" he asked curiously.

"She told how you wiped off an entire platoon of high-level bandits alone and destroyed their camp remotely with your skill. It's so amazing," I told him all Jyne's warnings.

The proud smile on Arter's face grew wider.

"That's a trivial thing. I am the crown Prince of the Fox tribe, if I can't go that far, I will embarrass my family. I believe a king like you can do a better thing than me."

Then he stopped in his tracks and turned to me.

"Still, I hope you don't underestimate me. Especially since your wings won't save you from my thunder. Also... I'm the fastest among my tribe. Please remember that." His seriousness was clear from the tone of his voice.

But I responded to him calmly.

"So I assume we can have a fair fight tomorrow."

"I don't know if you could call this fair. But..." He raised his hand, pointing his palm to the sky. From the smile on his lips and the dimmed sunlight, I knew he wanted to show off his Thundara.

"Maybe you have to see---"

Before he finished his sentence, I used my skill.

'Cronos!'

"Ah, of course. Thank you for accompanying me for a walk, Your Majesty," replied Arter, bowing to me.

After answering it with a nod, I left with Evelina and Eir, leaving Arter and Jyne in the arena.

-----

Once the king left, Arter spoke again.

"Jyne..." Arter said without taking his eyes from the back of the dragon king. For the first time, he felt tremendous excitement within him. He felt like he wanted to go after Argod and fight him right now, but he held himself back.

"What?" she replied curtly. She didn't want to accompany her brother but she had no other choice or rather she had nothing else to do.

"I think you have found a good husband. More than that Serpent Prince..." he muttered.

Noticing Arter's voice was different from usual, she turned to him and gasped. It was the first time she saw the strange smile on her brother's face. That smile looked absolutely terrifying but rather than bloodlust she could capture his excitement.

"Brother, what happened to you?" she asked in confusion. Nothing happened before, except Argod suddenly appeared by Arter's side and lowered his hand. She didn't know what made her brother like that.

Realizing his clueless sister, he decided to keep his excitement to himself.

"Nothing. I just can't wait for tomorrow's duel," he said. Then without another word, he left.
