Dragon Monarch System

The next day, Aditya woke up very early in the morning. Repeatedly waking up at the same time, he has developed a natural alarming system. Back in his castle, he usually would get up very early in the morning and practice sword arts for an hour or two.

The reason Aditya did this was that he sucked at using a sword. Most of his battles were won with agility. In terms of sword skills, Aditya barely comes in the basic mastery category. So every morning, while others slept, he got up and practiced sword arts with some guidance from Watson.

After practicing for an hour or two, he would take a cold shower and then practice his rune skills. Being a 2-star runemaster, there was a lot of things that Aditya still needed to try. He still wants to try making a mana gathering formation or defense formation and all kinds of stuff. Only by practicing, Aditya can become an expert.

After an hour of rune practice, he would have breakfast with Julia, Watson, and his generals. No one would have complained if Aditya did not share his dining table with his generals. But he did that to forge a close bond with everyone. Also, the food tastes extra better when it’s shared with other people.

After having breakfast, Aditya would assume his role as the Dragon King. He would go through various papers, documents, and all. 90% of his time was always spent in his office.

“I guess it’s not a bad thing to take a break or two.” The work was so intense that many times Aditya had to skip sleeping at night. Now finally after a whole month of endless work, Aditya was finally having a break and time to focus on building himself.

“Should I just go back to sleep?” For some hesitation, Aditya decided to continue practicing his sword skills.

[Today is difficult. Tomorrow will be even more difficult. But The Day After Tomorrow Is Beautiful.] Whenever Aditya felt lazy and unmotivated, he would always say these words in his mind. Disciple and hard work were necessary to achieve success in life.

After washing up, he changed his clothes and went out of his bedroom. Since it was very early in the morning, the whole castle was very quiet. Without trying to make any noise, Aditya reached the living where he found Walter and the maids cleaning and talking among themselves.

Walter noticed Aditya. He walked up to him and slightly bent his body to bow to Aditya. “Good morning, young Master.”

“Good morning Walter. Do you usually get up this early?”

“Yes. As the servant of the house of Onard, it is my duty to get up very early in the morning.” The maids stopped cleaning and stared at Aditya for a few seconds before they saw Walter’s cold glare. The maids quickly resumed their work but occasionally they would take a peak to look at the face of Miss Julia’s fiance.

“Young Master, do you need anything? To be honest I am a little surprised to see you wake up this early in the morning.” Walter has met many people in his almost 2 century-long old life. In his opinion, Aditya was the most humble and kind young master he has ever met. Walter can kind of understand why his twin brother Watson stayed behind to serve this man.

“Haha! I am used to waking up very early in the morning to practice my sword skills. Walter, can you please show me where the training ground is?” Hearing Aditya’s words Walter was kind of stunned.

Aditya was only 19 years old. Considering how young he is, he can already be considered a genius for reaching Mid 2nd-order. His talent was enough to give him the title of a genius yet he was waking up very early in the morning just to practice his sword skills. This made Walter respect Aditya from the bottom of his heart.

There was countless genius born on the continent but not everyone had the same determination as Aditya to leave the comfy bed and get up very early in the morning just to practice sword skills.

“Young Master, would you like to train alone or would you like to train with others?” Because at this time the soldiers would also get up to train. The soldiers had to wake up at this time and train for several hours before they were given breakfast.

“To be honest, I am not that good at using swords, so I guess having a guide or partner would greatly help me.” Aditya felt a little embarrassed to say these words. If only his past self had not been a lazy person, then Aditya wouldn’t have to learn this kind of thing.

“Alright, come with me, young master.”

“Walter, why are you here?” Seeing Walter at the training ground, a man with a red mustache stepped forward.

Aditya glanced at the man who stood in front of Walter. The man was 5 feet 9 inches tall, the same height as Aditya. The man had short spiky red hair and a long scar on his right cheek. The man had pointy ears. His body was muscular and he was holding a black greatsword in his right hand.

“Before I say anything, this is Lady Julia’s fiance. His name is Aditya. Young Master wants to spar and wants to learn.”

The man narrowed his eyes hearing that his man with long blue hair was Lady Julia’s fiance. The news was too sudden even for him. “Walter, are you lying?”

“Of course not. Master said that on the upcoming princess’s birthday, he will announce the engagement to the whole world.” The man took a deep breath and nodded his head. The news was just too sudden for him.

“What?”

Hearing Watson’s words, the soldiers who were training also stopped. They all looked like they have been struck by a bolt of lightning. Their mouths were wide enough to fit an egg inside.

The training ground was similar to the training ground that Aditya had built for his troops to train. Except this one was almost 4 times bigger. There were more than 5,000 soldiers training, sparring against each other. And right now everyone in the training ground was looking at Aditya in a deep state of shock.

The princess of Onard Noble Household, the most beautiful woman on the continent, the alchemy goddess, was engaged to a man. The news was just too shocking for them to digest.

The half-elf stared at Aditya for an entire minute. No matter how much he looked he still couldn’t understand why this man was the princess’s future husband. Given how beautiful, how talented, and how big Julia’s background is, even the continent’s biggest genius wouldn’t be worthy of standing beside her.

‘I don’t understand what uniqueness this man has that made Lord Adam choose him as her daughter’s fiance. If we are talking about cultivation, then yes reaching Mid 2nd-order by the age of 19 is a feat of a genius. But there are hundreds of geniuses who are 100 times better than this man. This continent’s best geniuses who stand at the top already have reached 3rd-order or above, if those geniuses are not given a chance of marrying lady Julia then why a man like him is given the chance of marrying Lady Julia?’

“My name is Eddie Wood.” Eddie was not convinced. He has been watching and looking after Lady Julia as she grew up. In Eddie’s opinion, Aditya is simply not worthy of becoming Lady Julia’s husband. Compared to the princes, and sons of Dukes, what background did this man have?

Aditya sensed the hostility in Eddie’s eyes. Aditya instantly understood why this man looked so unhappy and slightly angry with Aditya. He has been expecting to face this kind of situation from the moment Julia asked him to meet her parents.

Eddie addressed Aditya by his name without any formality. Showing that he didn’t respect Aditya. “Aditya, if you want to learn from me, first I will need to face just how good you’re. Do you mind if we have a small spar?” Aditya inwardly smiled. There was no way he can’t feel the fighting intent in Eddie’s eyes. At this point, Eddie wasn’t even bothering to hide the contempt and disdain in his eyes.

‘So he wants to test me. Bring it on.’ Aditya was not afraid. As a dragon, he welcomed challenges with open arms.

“Alright.”

Walter became nervous. He can see the dissatisfaction in Eddie’s eyes. Knowing Eddie’s personality, the half-elf was looking to bully Aditya in the name of a spar. “Young Master, please reconsider, Sir Eddie is a beginner 4th-order cultivator, while you’re a mid-2nd-order cultivator. I mean no disrespect but you cannot fight him.” Walter did not want to see Aditya being humiliated by Eddie in front of so many soldiers.

“Don’t worry, for this fight, I will lower my strength to match yours.” Eddie said quickly fearing that Aditya will back out from the fight after hearing his cultivation level.

“Walter, I appreciate your concerning words but I will be fine.” Aditya looked around. Even a fool can see the dissatisfaction in the soldier’s faces. Just like Eddie, they too also thought that Aditya was not worthy. He needed to display his strength to prove that he was indeed worthy of standing together with Julia.

“Are you ready?”
