Dragon Monarch System

Chapter 963: Chapter 963:- Resolve and Motivation

Living room of the Dragon Palace,

Every couch seat was occupied. With Aditya’s return, the whole family had gathered in the living room. This was the first time in such a long time that there were so many people in the living room.

The maids were busy serving drinks and food to everyone.

As for Aditya, the Dragon Monarch loved chilled dragon fruit. The Dragon fruit that Riya grew in the garden was especially delicious and very rich in mana. The ordinary fruit had become a magic fruit because of the genetic modification and dense mana-rich environment in which it grew.

The maids were busy preparing the Monarch’s favourite fruit.

"Everyone, I want you to meet Athena." Everyone was already looking at the new, beautiful woman that he returned with. Looking at the calm and composed face of the Goddess, all of his women felt a strong sense of danger.

The Goddess had very smooth, fair skin. She had red lips and beautiful brown pupils, which looked almost black in the darkness. She had long, beautiful, silky black hair that she had tied into a refined bun with an ornate hairpin fashioned from pale jade and silver, thin tassels hanging softly from it. A few loose strands escaped the bun, framing both sides of her face and brushing gently against her cheeks.

Her facial features were sharp yet feminine. She had high cheekbones, a slender nose, and calm, half-lidded eyes that carried a quiet authority. Even in stillness and silence, her presence felt heavy.

She wore layered robes in shades of white and soft grey. The fabric was light and flowing. It moved subtly with every breath she took.

The inner garment clung neatly to her curvy body. An outer robe was draped loosely over her shoulders and arms. The neckline left a glimpse of her cleavage.

From her waist downward, her attire became more conservative. She wore a long, translucent skirt layered over fitted inner leggings that covered her legs almost entirely. The fabric parted only slightly when she walked.

Athena and Laura’s heights were almost the same.

Not only was Athena breathtakingly beautiful, but she was also really strong. Even with her power suppressed, they felt they would still lose to her.

’She is strong.’ Rin and Sasha thought to themselves.

Among his women, the only one who had a good chance of going equal or maybe even defeating her, would be Rin or Lilith.

"So where is Laura?" Julia asked. She sat on his right. If not for the people here, by now she would have tightly hugged him. But with everyone present, she had to control herself. After all, she was the first Lady.

"I am here!" Athena replied with a faint smile.

"I am Laura!"

"I am Athena."

"We are both as one individual!" Athena spoke to them like she had known them for a long time. She looked very relaxed and calm. Even her expression softened.

Everyone almost felt like they were looking at Laura, except she now looked way different.

’Not just different. Athena is way more packed than Laura.’ Lilith thought to herself while staring at Athena’s big chest and curvaceous body. She was as curvy as Lilith.

’Her chest is almost as big as Alicia’s.’

’But she is dangerous.’ Lilith immediately came to the conclusion. Athena was engaged to Aditya. And Laura and Athena basically being one meant that her place within the Harem was confirmed.

’Good thing, my rank is higher than hers.’ The sisters’ seniority was determined by who had a romantic relationship with Aditya first. Julia was The First Lady; she was the Empress of Istar.

Unfortunately for Lilith, her rank was just higher than Rin’s.

"He is Alfred. He used to be my dad’s Butler. I call him Uncle."

"The ones sitting next to Alfred are Bree, who is his granddaughter, and Mateo, who is the son of Duke Boleyn."

"Long story short, Bree and Mateo helped free Alfred from his prison, and they came to the Tunnel World to find me, following a vision of the future that Alfred had about meeting me."

Alfred stood up, facing everyone. Mateo and Bree also followed Alfred. They bowed slightly to greet everyone.

"Uncle Alfred here has been serving the Royal Family of the Celestial Dragon Empire for many centuries. Before my father, he also worked under my Grandfather." Hearing this, everyone was surprised. This old man was way older than Lilith, who was over a thousand years old.

Lilith suddenly felt irritated when a few heads looked in her direction. As a woman, she did not like it when someone brought up her age.

"What?" Lilith asked with a cold smile.

Alicia shook her head with a confident smile before looking towards Alfred.

Meanwhile, seeing Lilith suffer, Amelia couldn’t help but smirk. But then that smirk quickly disappeared as she realised that she was as old as Lilith. She shouldn’t be laughing or smirking in this situation as well.

For a moment, Amelia sympathised with Lilith and felt that they were together in this. Not that she was gonna admit it out loud or show any signs of it. Lilith was her rival. If they weren’t relatives, then by now they might have fought countless times.

"Vision of the Future? Does that mean Sir Alfred is a Seer?" Watson looked at the handsome old man with Long white hair tied in a bun and a nicely trimmed grey beard.

The existence of a seer within the Six Continents is extremely rare. The number of Seers that he could count within the Six Continents would be less than 4, including Alfred and Aditya.

’That’s right, His Majesty also used to get a vision of the Future.’

"Please, there is no need to add Sir before my name. To answer your question, I am a Seer." Because Alfred was a Seer, despite his commoner background, he was able to rise to the position of the Emperor’s right-hand man. Not only was he the right-hand man of Aditya’s father, but also of his Grandfather.

"No, that wouldn’t be appropriate." After all, the Emperor himself was calling Alfred Uncle, which just showed how much respect Aditya had for this man.

’But hold on!!! His Majesty calls me Grandpa.’ Watson felt like it would be more accurate if His Majesty called Alfred Grandpa as well, since Alfred has been serving the Royal Family for three generations now. But for now, Watson decided to not bring it up.

"Your Majesty, what exactly happened in Tunnel World?" Spencer was sitting with his wife, Aria.

"A lot of things actually."

"I went through many challenges and hardships, but the end result and the reward were worth it."

"My relationship with Laura also took a step further." Hearing this, the members of the Harem had a mix reaction.

Everyone knew that this was bound to happen sooner or later. Laura had feelings for Aditya for a long time. It was only a matter of time before she opened up to him and they took that last step.

’It went just as I expected.’ Before they left, Lilith could feel the feelings that they had for each other. Aditya’s burning desire to protect her and escort her to the Main Continent despite the huge risk wasn’t just purely out of the desire and motivation to help an ally or keep the other half of the Goddess of Wisdom safe. There was also love involved.

As for Laura, she has been in love with him since the time they spent together in the Deep Sea Palace, where Aditya protected her from every threat and made sure that she became the Empress. He was the one who eliminated every threat that was getting in the way of being the next Ruler.

He kept aiding her and protecting her, time and time again. Lilith knew it was impossible for a woman not feel anything for that person.

Everyone sincerely congratulated them. Almost everyone had seen it coming except for Leo and Clara.

"Your Majesty, did you participate in the trial?" Spencer asked. Aditya wanted to take part in the trial to get his blacksword fixed by the dwarves, who are considered to be some of the best blacksmiths of the entire World.

Aditya nodded his head with a smile.

"I managed to reach and clear all Six Stages of the Trial."

"I met the Dwarf Ancestor. Frank had left a part of his soul to be the administrator of the Trial. No one from the outside world knows that a part of Frank’s soul still resides within the Trial."

"I spent days in the trial. We had many productive conversations." The talk for the alliance between Aditya, as the Exiled Crown Prince, and the Dwarf Tribe also happened after their fight. Meeting the Dwarf Tribe Leader was just a formality.

Frank could still control everything within the Tribe, as everyone within the Tribe still respects him a lot. But Frank respected the role of each Generation’s Tribe Leader and let the Tribe Leader’s rule as they saw fit. He only gave him advice and suggestions. But there was no denying that Frank had a huge part in setting up the alliance between Aditya and the Dwarf Tribe.

"Everyone, this journey was supposed to help Laura. I am very happy to announce that we have accomplished this goal." Aditya looked at everyone. Without everyone’s support, reaching here wouldn’t have been possible.

"This journey also reminded me that, besides dealing with that Organization, I have one enemy to deal with." Everyone seriously listened to Aditya.

"And that enemy is my cousin who now rules the Celestial Dragon Empire."

"I have no interest in beefing with my cousin, but he won’t see it that way. He is a Tyrant who has already spread chaos all over the Celestial Dragon Empire. He is also behind the false accusation that put Alfred in prison for years." With time, his cousin will come to mess with him.

"So I have decided that from now on, the Istarin Empire will invest more in its military. We will upgrade our overall strength."

"In the upcoming months, while working on resolving some glaring issues within the Empire and bringing some new changes, I plan to make a plan with all of your help on how to gain a powerful ally against my cousin and gain momentum to overthrow my Cousin."

Hearing this, everyone smiled. Since Aditya made up his mind, they will support him with everything they have.

"It seems the Brilliance and Majesty of the Dragon Monarch is about to spread throughout the Entire Main Continent," Watson said with a smile.

He was extremely proud. He watched a depressed Alcohol addict change one day and suddenly built the Greatest Empire in history, and now he is about to plan for his grand Entrance to the Main Continent.

The Exiled Crown Prince was coming for his Crown.
