Dragon King's Harem Chapter 303. Serpent Tribe II

Prince Naganthor, the Serpent Prince, moved through the dining hall, his sinuous lower half allowing him to glide with a mesmerizing fluidity.

Approaching Elixar, he executed a deep, respectful bow. "Your Majesty," he greeted Elixar, his voice carrying a hint of the exotic in its tone.

Elixar, in response, acknowledged him with a nod.

Then, Naganthor turned his attention to me, the Dragon King. With the grace of a diplomat, he offered another gracious bow, his multifaceted eyes gleaming with curiosity. "Your Majesty," he spoke. He continued, "I must extend my warmest congratulations to you on your triumph over the orcs and Minotaurs. Such accomplishments are not to be taken lightly."

I returned his greeting with a nod and a warm smile, acknowledging his gesture of respect.

During this exchange, Naganthor's eyes briefly flitted towards Evelina. It was a fleeting glance, one filled with intrigue, yet he wisely refrained from any prolonged or inappropriate attention. Such actions were a delicate matter when it came to the royal wives of another leader.

"Please, Prince Naganthor, join us for lunch. We are honored to have you as our guest." Elixar took the initiative and offered Prince Naganthor a seat at our table, inviting him to partake in the meal.

Prince Naganthor took his seat, his serpentine body curling beneath him as he settled into his chair. The dining table was adorned with a lavish spread of delicacies from the Healer Tribe's cuisine, each dish reflecting the care and mastery of the tribe's culinary arts.

"I can understand that," he replied, his voice a harmonious blend of reassurance. "That's why I would like to get to know you better, Lady Evelyn, with your permission, of course,” he said politely.

Evelyn, still in search of her father's guidance, turned her gaze once more to Elixar. Her eyes silently communicated her need for his blessing and guidance in this matter. She was an adopted princess, after all, so she had to maintain her behavior well. She shouldn’t disappoint the king or bring shame to her own tribe.

Elixar responded with a subtle nod, signaling his approval. His trust in Evelyn's judgment was evident.

But then, instead of immediately addressing Prince Naganthor, Evelyn’s gaze briefly shifted to me, an almost imperceptible glance that didn't escape my notice. Her eyes seemed to carry an unspoken message, one that left me with a sense of unease.

Nonetheless, she turned his attention back to Prince Naganthor, offering a diplomatic response that hinted at a desire for further acquaintance. "I, too, hope to get to know you better, Your Highness," she stated, her tone neutral yet courteous.

I couldn't help but furrow my brow. Something about Evelyn's actions and glance left me with a nagging feeling that there was more to this situation than met the eye.
