《His Mate: The Dragon King》全部章節：第 61 章 - 第 70 章

Mariah and the maidens appeared in a rundown quarter. There was no light there, and she could visibly see that the place was damaged. There were holes in the walls and cracks on the doors. The windows did not have a protective net or anything to keep insects from entering the house. A squeaking sound made her look down to see a rat running by her. She frowned, wondering if Alaric would really ask for her to be brought there? Like, what does he see her as, a beggar? Or a slave? What exactly could be his reason for having her brought there? When he spoke of a Golden Pavilion, this was definitely not what she had in mind.“Well, that is your quarters, demon princess, rest well,” one of the maids said, and the rest laughed.Hold on, Mariah thought, could it be that being brought here was these maids' shenanigans? Could it really be that this is not where Alaric had in mind for me to stay? She thought of the dragons’ attitude when they were back in her palace, this was not a way of the mai

Alaric left the room as soon as Cora and the maidens departed after promising to deal with Mariah. He entered a room where servants were busy preparing the table with various types of meals. They all knelt upon seeing him, greeting him respectfully. He walked ahead and sat on the mat with a pillow at the head of the table. As soon as he settled down, several people dressed in beautiful robes of different colors entered. Maximus was among them, clad in a white robe fastened with a purple sash, underneath a purple overcoat with a white hemline. Others were dressed in yellow, green, red, white, and the last one was blue. They all knelt and greeted him before seating themselves on the mats arranged around the table. All the mats had sitting pillows on them.The man dressed in a white robe under a blue overcoat was sitting on Alaric's right side, and the pillow on his left side was empty. The maids rushed forward and poured drinks into the little mugs, but they poured tea for Alaric. The m

Iris sat on the ground, breathing a sigh of relief that the maids had been released. Her eyes went to Mariah, who was standing in front of the doors, watching the maids with wide eyes. She gritted her teeth, her fingers clenching on the ground, and dirt got into her nails. She was surprised, she didn’t expect the Demon princess to be that beautiful. For as long as she had lived, Iris had prided herself on being the most beautiful, hence why she believed that she was the only one worthy to be with Alaric. She even believed that when his mate’s senses start tingling, she would end up being his mate. So many women had tried throwing themselves at Alaric, but he never fell, never looked at them more than once. With the way he treated other women, she had believed that Alaric was in love with her, and also the fact that he let her get away with literally anything, proved it to her.However, two days ago, after he woke up, she had heard from her father that he wanted to travel to the Land d

“Mariah, have you slept?” Mariah heard and sat up on the bed. Alaric was standing at the foot of her bed. He was dressed in a simple white robe, and Mariah guessed it should be his nightwear, after all, the maids dressed her in something similar.“Alaric,” she smiled, “not really, still about to though.”“I see,” he said and walked to the side of the bed. The moon was shining bright, and its light reflected in the room. Mariah had tied the curtains covering her bed because she wanted to bask in the moonlight. The soft breeze blowing in through the open windows fluttered Alaric’s robe and hair. And just when Mariah wanted to ask what was wrong, he went on his knees, making her gasp in shock.“I am sorry,” he said, “I brought you here and could not even protect you from my maids. I am not worthy to call myself your mate. I stood and watched as my people talked to you so badly, yet I did nothing. I can understand if you wish not to see me, however, I cannot sleep if I do not apologize to

“Aspa told us she challenged the dragon king to a duel, and he used his dragon king’s fire. Who uses the dragon king fire if not to kill?” Ramiel asked. “Namiel ended up getting across his uncontrolled fire, which cost him his life. Also, since he saw that his fire was attacking those he did not plan to, why did he not stop it? Or tell me, Selene, do you find any loopholes with this explanation?”“Indeed, the explanation is as clear as day,” Aron said, “Aspa is fond of challenging anyone rumored to be stronger to a duel to test their strength. She did it with the first Dragon King and also with the first Demon King. It would not come as a surprise if she decided to test the strength of the rumored strongest dragon to ever live.”“Exactly,” Alinta concurred. “Did she not challenge Ramiel to a duel?”“More than once. She comes back every time after being defeated,” Azura said.“I can understand what you are trying to say, Selene, but Aspa’s explanation is as true and clear as it can be,
