Chapter 32: Chapter 32. Ancestral Chamber

Dragon King's Harem Chapter 32. Ancestral Chamber

- Blam!

The large door behind me closed by itself as soon as I entered the chamber. Unlike the rest of the Crimson Flame Palace which was dominated by red or the King's chamber which was dominated by black and red, this chamber was dominated by white and gold which was soothing to the eyes. But though the room was larger than my chamber, there was nothing there except a golden bed in the middle of the room. And I could guess that was where the Dragon Kings lay themselves down to their last breath. Somehow this room gave me a melancholic feeling, since though a dragon king's life was always surrounded by servants, subordinates and loyal wives, in the end, he had to spend his last breath alone without anyone to accompany him. Also, though the pain in my chest had disappeared, I could feel a heavy atmosphere as soon as I stepped my feet in this room.

With caution, I stepped my feet closer to the bed. My eyes swept around me, staring at the aurora that filled the room with colourful lights. But before I reached it, a voice echoed throughout the room.

"You have come."

Followed by a strong wind that came from nowhere, though this room had no window. Tiny various colours of lights came from all over the room and gathered together, forming a huge dragon made of light. Although he was only formed from light and didn't have a solid shape, I could see his huge body, his wide open wings and his eyes that glinted in blue staring at me in rage.

"Now answer me! Who are you?" he roared in anger.

I knelt on one knee and put my right hand on my left chest. It was the Dragon tribe's salute for his king. And since he was the previous royal dragons (yes, dragons not dragon), even though I was a king, of course, I had to respect him in the way my subordinates respected me.

"I'm Argod Escavia de Emperor. 13th King of Draconis Empire, Your Majesty." But different from a subordinate to his king who usually lowered his head when he saluted, I lifted my head and my eyes looked at him.

"Liar!" he roared again. Huge energy accompanied by a strong wind rushed at me, trying to push me away. But I did not budge and remain in my position, not even a flinch.

"I'm not lying, Your Majesty. I've forgotten my name. And the real Argod has given his name to me and asked me to replace him to protect Draconis and Igixar," I explained. Lying to him would only make my situation worse and I wouldn't be able to fight or level up if he kept interrupting my system.

"Where is the real Argod? How could he leave his duty to you?" This time, although he didn't push me away, his anger was still clear from his voice.

"He died with honour, Your Majesty. He sacrificed his life and soul to destroy the Dark Lord's curse," I replied.

"What ?!" His eyes, which had been staring at me in anger, widened in shock in an instant. Only briefly, he looked at me suspiciously.

"What do you mean? If he's dead, why is his body still here?"

"That's because he only sacrificed his soul not his body. He had found a way so he could end the curse without destroying the royal dragon lineage. By destroying it along with his soul, Your Majesty. And in order to keep his body alive and to maintain the Dragon King's lineage, he summoned me so I could replace him to carry out his unfinished duty, "I explained.

The anger and suspicion in his eyes began to fade.

"So he destroyed his soul along with that curse?" he confirmed once again.

"Yes, Your Majesty. He was already within his limits. The Royal Dragon lineage would become the new Dark Lord if he didn't do it. Therefore he did it to protect everyone in Igixar."

That dragon just stared at me in silence. I no longer saw anger or suspicion in his eyes, but sadness, because in the end one of their descendants had to destroy the curse in a tragic way.

"Your Majesty, allow me to continue his unfinished duty," I said in a firm tone.

This time his eyes looked at me filled with seriousness.

"Do you know what your duty is? Do you know how big this responsibility is? Do you think someone who isn't born as a royal dragon like you can do it?"

"I know everything, Your Majesty. I know my duty. I know what I have to do. I know how big my responsibility is. The real Argod has given me a second chance to live and has passed all of his memories to me, so I promise I will do my best. "

"He gave all his memories to you?" he asked with a frown.

"Tell me. Where do you come from? What's your original tribe?"

"I am not from Igixar, Your Majesty. I came from far away, not from this world. I was a human, a tribe that never existed in this world." Somehow his questions made me remember my original world and my friends.

“Human…” he muttered as he frowned in thought. Looks like he was trying to find out my temperament and habit from my origin. But since there was no human in this world he had a hard time guessing it. Finally, he decided to guess it from my original appearance.

"How did you look back then? Do you had sharp teeth? A body with strong armour? Strong claws? A pair of wings?"

“My appearance was similar to a healer tribe, Your Majesty. It's just, my ears were not as pointy as theirs and I didn't have healing skills like them,” I explained.

"What about your true form?" he asked again.

"I only had one form, Your Majesty."

He frowned in confusion since even a healer tribe had another true form.

"Then what was your mana element? How did you fight before?"

"I had neither mana nor could use magic power, Your Majesty. I used to fight using this." I clenched my fist and showed him.

"My fist and my strength." In my original world, there were only a few people who could use magic power and obviously, I wasn't one of them.

"Only that?" His forehead creased. Looks like he didn't expect me to be so weak before.

"Yes, Your Majesty," I said as I put my right hand back on my left chest.

"Very well." But despite his words, his eyes looked at me with doubt.

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty," I said gratefully. I was quite relieved that he wanted to understand about this though his doubt, also grateful that my negotiations went smoothly.

As I was about to stand up, he spoke again.

"Wait!" Upon his order, I returned to my position.

"I haven't given you my permission yet," he added.

To be honest, I was a little annoyed by this, but I kept my calm. Besides, I understood his concern, since becoming a Dragon King was not an easy task.

"Your Majesty, if you don't allow me to continue my duty then Draconis has no leader and Igixar has no protector," I reminded him.

Even if he didn't like me if he was concerned with this kingdom and this world as he did in his past he should have given me a chance. But since he only had only a little bit of the previous royal dragons' consciousness, I didn't know if he still cared about this or not.

He smirked.

"Of course I know that. But ..." Suddenly he swung his claw at me. Reflexively, I jumped backwards as I flicked my wings to avoid his attack. Unlike the energy that invaded me before, this time he did it with murderous intent.

I landed on my feet and looked at him with displeasure. This time I didn't kneel anymore.

"May I know why you attacked me, Your Majesty?" he asked as politely as I could.

"You said that you are not from Igixar and you only fight physically without using any mana. Therefore you have to prove yourself that you deserve to be a dragon king," he said with a glare.

I frowned.

'Prove it? Is this some kind of joke? Isn't it if I die then the Royal Dragon lineage will be finished? ' I was sure he could feel I was not as strong as usual Dragon Kings.

'Moreover ...' I glanced above his head.

[Name: Ancestral Dragon]

[Level ??? ]

[HP: ???? / ???? ]

[Mana: ???? / ???? ]

I couldn't get any information about him and from his transparent body, I wasn't sure I could attack him physically.

'How can I beat him?'
