The dragon's harem

Chapter 597 The Noble Party: A Chaos Start

Arad looked at Amber, ”Youʼre doing well, considering everything. You didnʼt get smaller when the door closed on your wings.”

”I can barely hold this magic, and it takes a toll on my mana reserve.” She took a step forward. CRACK! She rammed her small toe on the table edge.

”GAA!” She cried, her body disappearing in a puff of smoke and fire. A tiny, palm-sized fairy emerged.

Arad approached her, ”Are you okay?”

”I might have broken something,” Amber cried, curling into fist fist-sized ball.

”Youʼre fine,” Zephyr looked at her, ”That body is more durable than you think, but you still feel the pain.” She flew from where she sat to Amberʼs side, patting her back.

”Should I get you to Lydia for healing?” Arad looked at them.

”No, Iʼll be fine.” She transformed and waved her hand, [Enlarge]

Puff! With a puff, she got back to a humanoid size.

”Why donʼt just stay in your fairy form? Itʼs convenient,” Zephyr looked at her.

”No way Iʼm letting people see me like that,” Amber gasped.

”Would it matter?” Zephyr sighed, ”Youʼre a fire elemental now, and that is merely a vessel. So you wonʼt burn everything around you.”

”Iʼm a human,”

”You were,” Zephyr mumbled.

KNOCK! KNOCK! ”Arad!” Tina called, ”Someone is looking for you. He says why donʼt you come drink with them,”

”Whoʼs he? Did he leave a name?”

”He said his name is Charlie,” Tina replied, ”Been mumbling about himself being a prince, but that doesnʼt seem the case. He has no guards.”

”Wait?” Isdis who was in the back in her underwear trying to decide between two dresses gasped, ”Whatʼs heʼs doing here? Did father already arrive?”

”Iʼll go look,” Arad approached the door, ”The black one looks better on you, and it matches with your dark wood tool.”

”Itʼs called a violin,”

”Well, it matches,” Arad opened the door and left.

Isdis looked at the dresses, ”And I was about to go with the white one for some contrast,” She threw the white back on the bed and started wearing the black one.

Aella giggled, ”Youʼre the one who spent an hour looking at them,”

Arad walked through the hallway and found Tina, ”Where is he?”

”I kept him standing outside,” She replied, ”No prince comes like that,”

”I thought I asked Aella to buy you a few dresses?”

”I went with her and chose some,” Tina replied, ”But for now, Iʼm working as a maid.”

”Nobles are coming from everywhere to the party. If any one of them annoyed you, tell me, and Iʼll throw them across the mountains,”

Tina smiled, ”Iʼm sure you would,” She looked back at his face. He wasnʼt joking about throwing them across the mountain part. Heʼll do it.

”Donʼt throw them, theyʼll die.”

CLICK! She opened the door.

”Arad, itʼs been a while.” Charlie waved his hand, standing alone outside with a smile on his face. ”Itʼs a bit cold out here, wonʼt you say?”

”What brought you here?” Arad sighed, ”You should be arriving a few hours later,”

”Wait? Heʼs the prince?” Tina gasped in the back.

”Surprise, I told you that. Nobody wouldʼve guessed.” He looked at her from Aradʼs side.

”So?” Arad looked at him, ”Come inside. The party didnʼt start yet, but you could sit and wait.”

”As much as I would love a toasty seat and something warm to drink to fill my freezing throat and heat my rear.” He looked back at his horse, ”Our carriage broke a few kilometers before we could reach your land. Father and Mom are stuck there with the guards,”

”And you came to call for help?” Arad looked at him, ”Was it a broken wheel?”

”It was a majestic feathery blessing that came from the skies, giving the horses a chance to see the heavensʼ beautiful gates.” He looked at Arad with a passive, emotionless face, ”A griffon snatched the horses, and the impact shattered a large part of the wheels. Only one horse survived, and thatʼs the one I came on.”

”Wait!” Arad gasped, ”It was a griffon attack? You shouldʼve said that earlier!”?Arad rushed out, flying into the sky as he transformed.

”What a majestic beast,” Charlie stared at him, ”Would he know where they are without me?”

”He can follow their smell. He shouldʼve picked some on you,” Tina said, moving out of the door, ”Prince Charlie, please get inside and rest with the early guests.”

”Thank you, beautiful maid of the dragon,” He bowed, stepping inside. ”Where is the guest room?”

”To left,” Tina walked forward and stood at the door, opening it for him, ”This is it. Please take a seat and rest. Master Arad would make sure your parents arrive safely.”

With a happy face, Charlie walked into the room, feeling his blood instantly drying up.

”You bastard! Youʼre cheating!” Gojo growled.

”Ho! Ho! Ho!” Cain laughed, combing his beard, ”Youʼre naive, young one.”

Kayden growled at the side, looking at the cards in his hand. ”The damnable luck,”

”How foolish,” The wind devil put a card on the table. ”Iʼm taking this win,”

”Iʼm really not good at this,” Grey smiled, scratching the stitches on his face. ”What do you say,”

”Hmmmm!” Jack squinted his eyes, sweating, ”I might lose this one.”

”What are the rules again?” Kinryuu whispered to Cain, ”I never played this before.”

”This wine,” Grant took a sip, his bald head reflecting the light from the ceiling, ”Itʼs dwarven fire wine.”

”Itʼs my win!” Abel smacked his hand down, ”Look at this! You canʼt top it,”

Tap! Cain put his hand down, ”A royal flash, I win,”

CLING! Kayden pulled his sword, pointing it at Cainʼs neck, ”Youʼre cheating,”

”Itʼs not cheating if I donʼt get caught.”

”I caught you,”

Charlie looked at them, shaking in place. ^Whatʼs this? Why is it so chaotic, and is that Kayden, the strongest of the world powers? What is he doing here?^

They all went silent, staring at Charlie.

”Toothpick, who are you?” Kayden stared at him. ”You looked at me, didnʼt you?”

”Sorry, I was just surprised to see someone pull their weapon here.” He replied, shaking in place.

Kayden looked at his hand, ”Sorry, my bad,” He sheathed the blade, but instead clenched a fist full of demonic power, ”Iʼm going to smack him with this.”
