Chapter 140: Chapter 140. We are The Same IV

Dragon King's Harem Chapter 140. We are The Same IV

Her story shocked Marissa since that was a ridiculous excuse. It was even more ridiculous than the Nymph Queen.
"Isn't there anyone against him? I mean... The other nobles should be defending your family."

Again, another bitter smile on her lips.
"The king said, everyone who opposes him will be considered as my father's ally. So not a single nobleman dares to speak up..." she said sadly.

Sela bent down her head.
"He even made my family's execution as a public show. Something that could show he was a resolute king and able to silence anyone who opposed him. If it weren't for His Majesty who helped me, Sela wouldn't be here..."

"Why did The Dragon King only help you? Why didn't he help your family?" asked Marissa curiously.

With a sad smile, Sela lifted her head and turned to Marissa.
"That's because The Dwarf king had executed my family one week before. He left me since he thought I was harmless and intended to show his firmness in front of the dragon king. But before he could execute me, His Majesty requested me as a gift."

"And the Dwarf King agreed?" asked Marissa.

Sela continued her story.
"He did not. According to the rules, they settled it with a duel and His Majesty won. The Dwarf king had no other choice but to give Sela. But on one condition. If Sela tries to avenge Sela's family, then he has the right to take me. That's why Sela doesn't care for what happens to the Dwarf Tribe. Sela has always thought of myself as part of Draconis..."Her heart ached just from remembering all this.

A bitter smile appeared on Sela's lips.
"You know what makes me sad? The Dwarf King ended up only using the town for 10 years before he finally got bored and left. Now it's no different than a ghost town. He killed my family over a toy. He's wasting my father's hard work just like that." She couldn't understand why The Dwarf King could be so cruel to her family over something small. On the other hand, Sela knew there was nothing that could shake his position either. Since The Dwarf King had a powerful earth spell.

Upon Marissa's silence, Sela turned to her.
"I'm sorry. You should be the one who's telling your sadness, not me. After all, it was 40 years ago," she apologized.

"I should be the one apologizing for picking up your old wounds," said Marissa. She didn't expect her simple question could make Sela tell what she had been through. Indeed compared to her, Sela had experienced more painful things since The Dwarf King punished her family for such ridiculous reasons. She didn't wonder why despite their advances in inventions, many of the Dwarf Tribe were still poor.

"It's nothing compared to Sir Almeric."

Marissa frowned.
"Sir Almeric? Who is that?"

"His Majesty usually calls him Al. He is Draconis Royal Magician and Argod's right-hand man. He looks messy and acts like a kid sometimes. But he is actually a genius. His Majesty also took him from the Witch King," Sela explained.

The figure of a man from the witch tribe who greeted them at the entrance immediately crossed Marissa's head. Judging from his messy uniform, Marissa did not believe that he had an important position. But from Sela's story, at least, Marissa knew why her father sent her to The Dragon King.
"Why does the Dragon king like to take another kingdom's criminal? Is that his hobby?" she asked in confusion.

"I don't know. But some said he has a spell that can capture the pain in a person's heart. Some said the spell is a curse that torments the king. It's disturbing him and forcing him to feel the pain from those around him. Even in his sleep. That's why he has to hibernate every once in a while just to rest his mind and heart." Even though it was all Sela's guess, she was pretty sure it was true.

"I didn't know the king had such difficulties..." On second thought, Marissa guessed that was why the king looked cold before.

"Don't worry. After the last long hibernation, the king looks a lot better now," said Sela. She was sure this was why Argod had started taking Evelina and Sela as his wives. It was probably his personal form of celebration since he didn't have to suffer anymore.

"I see... That's why he's a little different." Now Marissa was starting to understand why Argod had decided to go undercover and pray in the forest earlier.

"Yes, he is indeed a little different. But that's not a bad thing since he doesn't look gloomy anymore."

"That's good," said Lady Marissa in relief.

Upon Marissa's friendly reaction, Sela finally decided to say her request.
"Lady Marissa..." she called.

"Yes?"

"Do you want to cooperate with Sela to prevent the war?" What Sela said made her remember her past. Made her remember the Dwarf Tribe, her homeland who had thrown her away. Despite her grudge against the Dwarf King, she could remember the people's sad faces when she was nearly executed. Her childhood friend's face… The Duke of Dwarf Tribe, Alein also flashed in her head. He even almost put his own family in danger just because he wanted to free her. If it wasn't for his father who was preventing him, his family might also be in danger. It made her realize that what Argod said was true. The Dwarf King might be able to drive her out of her homeland, she could deny that she wasn't a Dwarf but within herself… she couldn't deny it.

"Have you made your decision?" Marissa knew Sela was hesitant to help their own tribe before. She drew this conclusion from Argod's words.

"Yes... Sela shouldn't hate the Dwarf tribe just because of the past. It was that stupid king's fault. That's why... Do you want to help Sela?"

Marissa took a deep breath.
"I can't do anything but hide," she said sadly.

"Do you know how to make the antidote?" Although Argod hadn't said anything about this, she was sure Marissa's father had sent her to Draconis for a purpose.
