Chapter 122: Chapter 122. Garden in The Middle of Deadly Forest III

Dragon King's Harem Chapter 122. Garden in The Middle of Deadly Forest III

The soft cracking sound coming from around us indicated that my ice was starting to break and the roots were starting to come out of it. I knew it was only a matter of time before my Glayze was destroyed by it.
"We're going to break in!" I ordered.

Without further ado, we ran towards the door, leaving our Yegauns behind. Since our mounts were inside Evelina's Mana Barrier they should be fine.
"Eir!" I ordered as soon as we were near the door.

Eir drew his sword without a word. In a blink, he had made two slashes and in the next second, the door had been cut into four pieces. As soon as the door shattered, we were greeted by tree roots that rushed at us from within the room. Vaguely, I could see someone among those roots. Without stopping my steps, I summoned my sword.
'Nightmare!'

My black sword appeared in my hand. In one swift motion, I cut all the roots without stopping my pace. The pieces of root fell and crumbled like wood in the acid liquid. Smoke with an acidic smell and hissing sound came from the pieces. My sword effect also stopped their regeneration for a while. While I kept my eyes fixed on the figure in the middle of the roots, making sure she couldn't run away from me. In one perfect motion, I pushed her against the wall and put my sword against her throat. Meanwhile, my arm, which was on her chest, was holding her body.

A groan of pain mixed with shock escaped her mouth. But I didn't let go, instead, I tightened my grip. I just wanted to throw my anger at her but I undid my intention after seeing her face clearly. Her long brown hair was slightly curled with yellow flowers and a green ribbon, covering her back. A simple green dress covered her body. Her green eyes stared at me angrily adorning her innocent face. Some accessories such as necklaces and bracelets gave another colour to her fair skin. Her body was not much different from Evelina. Only her height was slightly shorter than Evelina.

"Marissa?" I muttered in shock. Marrisa Heliria Myrtoessa was the daughter of the prince of the Nymph tribe. We called him Satyr since Nymph was just a term for the female and the male had slightly different anatomy than the female. The real Argod had met with the prince several times to discuss this area's plantations and he brought Marissa with him. In fact, I could remember how happy Marissa was, every time she met Argod. So I immediately recognized her. Her identity was enough to explain why the garden was here. It was the same reason why Argod invited the Prince to cooperate. The special earth Mana element belonged to their family. The real Argod thought with their help, he could improve or even fix this place's Mana flow. Unfortunately, before the real Argod could finish his plan, the curse got worse so he had no other choice but to throw himself into a long sleep.

"Your Majesty?" Just like me, Marissa also looked shocked. The anger in her eyes disappeared, replaced by a gentle gaze. But then, she noticed there were no horns on top of my head and my eye colour was different. In an instant, her anger returned and it was worse than before.

"No... You're not the Dragon King. You're not His Majesty, King Argod. Imposter! How dare you try to pretend to be the king!" she shouted angrily. Again, roots emerged from the wall and the floor like a bunch of tentacles of a hungry Kraken. All of them crawled and wrapped around my body fiercely.

Since I was not sure she would listen to my explanation. I decided to use my Blazing Orbs to burn the roots. But I believed it would injure her since we were too close. Luckily before I did, Eir quickly took off his glove and showed his mark of servant.

"I'm Eiron Magus Qiendum, the dragon king's trusted assistant. On behalf of the king, I ask you to let him go!" he said quickly.

It managed to stop her and me. She turned to Eir. Her eyes widened as soon as she saw his mark of servant. Not only that I was sure she recognized Eir since she was with the real Argod when they met. A smile began to grow on Marissa's lips. Her roots slowly release my body after she was sure we weren't bad people.

I distanced my sword away from her neck and turned to Eir. I raised one eyebrow and pulled the corner of my lips. It put a strange smile on my face.

'On behalf of the king?' Although not a word came out of my mouth, my gaze clearly said it. That was a blunt statement since he used my name without permission. But I knew he had no other choice.

Eir smiled awkwardly and his sorry was clear on his face. Well, I would let it slide since I knew this was an emergency. It was better than using my Blazing Orbs. After all, my relationship with the Prince of Nymph tribe was quite close. Likewise with Marissa.

"Forgive my rudeness. I didn't know you were the king's confidant. Does that mean he already knows I'm here? Has he received my father's letter?" said Marissa in a sorry mixed excitement. Slowly, the roots that covered the house returned to the ground. Some turned into wooden hands and tidied up the house. In an instant, the chaotic room turned into a beautiful little room. Complete with a simple bed and dining table. All of it was made of the tree itself.

I held back my cringe. My mind immediately flew to the pile of documents in my office.
'Right... I haven't checked anything on my desk.' Yeah... It was definitely just a scary coincidence. We exchanged our glances. Not only me and Eir but also the others, trying to find a way to explain why we were here. Unfortunately, I couldn't tell who I am, yet.

I cancelled my Mana Weapon and decided to find out the reason before she asked more.
"You are the daughter of the Nymph's prince, right? Why are you here?" I decided not to answer her previous question.

I didn't think that question aroused another anger in her eyes. This was a different kind of anger than before.
"The Queen of Nymph has slandered my family and labelled us traitors..." she hissed in anger. Her hands were clenched into fists for the same reason.
