Chapter 117. The Last Day II

Dragon King's Harem Chapter 117. The Last Day II

It was a short peaceful moment since what I heard next was Jyne's scream.

"Your Majesty, where are you?" She called my name and turned around in a panic to look for me. Her voice woke Evelina and Eir.

"I'm here, Jyne" I tried to calm her down. My feet stepped towards her.

She looked much calmer just because of my simple words.

I sat beside the bed and was greeted by Evelina

"Good morning, Your Majesty." Jyne and Eir said the same thing a second after that.

"Morning," I said with a faint smile.

"Please remember we are still in another town. Don't call me that," I reminded them.

"Opss..." Evelina and Jyne covered their mouths. While Eir immediately apologized.

"It's fine. It's our last day anyway," I cheered them on. Actually, it was also for me since I felt this journey had been going on forever. Especially with the previous boring scene. I got up from my seat.

"Since we've all woken up. I think we should prepare ourselves and leave this place quickly. The sooner we get to the Black Grotto, the sooner we can return to the Palace. I bet you guys have missed Dragon Cross City too, right?" I said.

In an instant, Jyne and Evelina's faces brightened.

"You're right! This is our last day," said Jyne. She quickly got off the bed.

"After this, we can go back to the palace and wait for my father's letter," she said again. She not only couldn't wait to return to the palace but also wanted to know her father's answer as soon as possible. Even though she had already guessed the answer, she was still curious about it.

Her enthusiasm was greeted by Evelina. Like Jyne, she got off the bed.

"Yes. The sooner we finish this, the sooner we can get out of this scary place." Even with the king sleeping next to her, she couldn't sleep peacefully last night. So her body wanted her to sleep comfortably in the Palace.

"And I can take care of other things," I added. There were a lot of things I left at the palace. Even though Chancellor Allan had covered my stead so far, I knew my work couldn't wait too long.

"Then I will prepare our bags," added Eir. Although he didn't know the reason why Argod had chosen to visit the Black Grotto, he would soon find out. He knew there was something important to the point that the king chose to make this trip right after he finished the training ground.

After that, we prepared ourselves and went for breakfast. Like yesterday, Evelina and Jyne looked shocked with our breakfast since the waiter gave us a beating heart. Blood sauce decorated our plates. But I knew it was just another vegetable. The funny thing was, it had a similar taste to an omelette so it was perfect for breakfast. In the end, even if they had no appetite, they forced themselves to eat since starting the journey on an empty stomach was definitely a bad idea. As for me and Eir, we decided to enjoy that inn's food by ordering our second serving and another mug of bloody juice.

After breakfast, we left the inn. As we walked slowly through the street, the suns eased Jyne and Evelina's fears. With the suns' rays, they could find out what was behind all the scary things. Moreover, the people's cheerful faces also improved their mood. Some kids even pointed and complimented our Yegauns' unusual appearance. It changed their view of this place. Even though... They were still reluctant to approach the trees around us.

Leaving the town, the snow around us was getting less and less before eventually disappearing, replaced by reddish-black soil with purplish-grey grass. This way the Snow Elf Queen wouldn't be able to contact me anymore. I had to find another way to communicate with her after resolving some important matters.

The further we moved away, the plants around us changed. Rocks and some black trees that look 'dead' replaced the snowy terrain and the temperature was getting warmer. Although... The temperature was still slightly below Dragon Cross' City. Occasionally, a gentle breeze brushed our faces.

With the sunlight, Evelina and Jyne weren't as scared as yesterday. Still... The monsters' appearances made them shudder. Especially since the Dead element monsters looked more dreadful than the shadow element one. Also... They were more lethal since they sucked our HP than our Mana. Even the strongest monster or tribe would die at a dead elemental monster if they let the monster suck their energy. The bad news was, this kind of monster sometimes didn't attack openly. Sometimes they hid in the ground or behind trees and simply sucked anyone who passed by. Sometimes they ambushed its victims. Worse, sometimes there were so many of them and they just appeared like zombies rising from the grave in a horror movie.

This type of monster was sometimes small, around my original world's rabbit or a puppy. But they mostly attacked in groups and were poisonous. Some would try to distract the victim, some would try to inject their poison. After the victim was weakened, they would suck the victims' energy until it ran out. They mostly looked like headless dead insects with some skeletons as body parts. Even though they were only low-level monsters, they were as deadly as high-level monsters. That was why no matter what, we had to leave this place before dark.

The monsters kept coming at us since we took an unusual path. No, there wasn't even a real path to the Black Grotto since it was so remote and never visited by anyone other than the first Dragon King. The first dragon king also never intended to build a path to that place either. Since he knew, it was a dangerous place. So he didn't want anyone else to take this path other than his descendants. Besides, risking one's life just to pray was stupid. Especially since there was nothing to get in return except if it was the Dragon King's lineage that did it.
