Reunion

"There's a windy feeling on my feet..."

Leaving the grand hall, Areishia and the Princess Maidens walked along the corridor towards the audience hall.

They walk holding their skirts so they don't lift while walking so they won't be seen by the only man here.

"Once you get used to it, you'll instead find underwear uncomfortable." Ars responded casually.

Different from them, he kept his underwear. Of course this behavior was opposed by Luna. Unfortunately, weak parties cannot veto against strong parties.

"Big brother Ars likes this kind of thing." Areishia walked as usual.

After all, her body had been seen and touched by Ars. Not wearing underwear was just a trivial matter for her.

"Ahem, don't bring up this topic, Areishia."

Ars could feel the girls' intense gazes on him. Luckily, he had long been in the mindset of ignoring what others thought of him.

Do humans care what ants think?

The answer is no!

The longer Ars lived, the more his empathy and caring nature disappeared.

After walking for a while, they came to a large metal door at the end of the corridor. The door is too big for humans, but it's not meant for humans, but dragons!

"This is the Dragon King's throne room."

Luna touched the center of the door with her hand and chanted some sort of incantation in Spirit Language.

Next, the giant door slowly opened inward.

The throne room is a dark hall without any lighting.

*Thud*

The door closed behind them with a very heavy sound.

Next second...

"Welcome, human."

A strange sound sounded as if it were coming from the underground.

"...!"

Areishia and the other Princess Maiden held their breaths. Only Ars looked calm.

A blinding light appeared at the top of the stairs. What then appeared was a gigantic silhouette sitting on a throne behind a large curtain that covered the ceiling.

Two curved giant horns. Six arms with crooked claws. Huge wings with a ferocious shape.

A powerful silhouette is sitting on a throne.

Just by sitting there, she was already emitting an aura of extraordinary power.

This pressure even surpassed that of a Myth Grade Spirit that only resided in Astral Zero.

Areishia was only slightly shaken by the pressure, but it was another story for the Princess Maiden behind her.

Their faces are deathly pale, their pupils are dilated, they have difficulty breathing, and other signs of extreme fear.

In the face of the terrifying presence of the Dragon King, it seemed like almost everyone was kneeling involuntarily. Even Areishia did the same as a sign of respect.

"Big brother Ars?!"

Areishia realized Ars was still standing as everyone kneeled in front of the mighty Dragon King!

This drew hatred from Luna and the Princess Maiden who served the Dragon King.

The atmosphere of the place was very tense.

"Long time no see, Ars."

The shadow behind the curtain looked at Ars, who was also looking at her.

"Yeah... Long time no see, Bahamut. You look very different from when we met last time." Ars is feeling melancholy.

"It wasn't too long, glad you finally visited me."

As fellow long-lived beings, a year is but a few minutes to them.

The conversation between the two shocked everyone present.

"Except for the Sacred Queen, all of them came out."

"But-"

"Luna Lancaster. Do you want me to say it twice?"

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Dragon King."

Luna swallowed her words. Then she along with the other Princess Maiden left the throne room and closed the door.

"So that's your dragon form. Not bad." Ars praised.

"You are the Sacred Queen? Interesting~... You lost your chastity. Even so, you did not lose your strength."

Bahamut watched Areishia seriously, then was surprised to find that the girl was not a virgin anymore.

It should be noted that the reason why Princess Maidens are only made up of young girls is because if they lose their virginity, they will lose their powers and can no longer use Contracted Spirits.

Simply put, they changed from Elementalists to ordinary girls. That's why Princess Maiden values their chastity more than anything else.

Bahamut who has the ability to see soul essence, immediately knows Areishia's secret.

"That must be your doing, right, Ars? Not bad, you have good taste in women. It seems your type of woman is a young girls."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Ars doesn't care about Bahamut's insinuation at all.

"(,,>﹏<,,)"

Hearing the conversation, Areishia held her face which was as red as a tomato.

"You are Areishia Idriss, the Sacred Queen who wields the Sacred Sword Severian."

Sacred Sword Severian, that was the name people gave to the Sword Spirit, Terminust Est.

"It's an honor to meet the Dragon King."

"No need for formalities, since you are Ars' lover, you can act as usual."

"All right then. Nice to meet you, Bahamut."

"Um, nice to meet you, Areishia."

Bahamut likes to communicate casually. Her status as King of the Dracunia Empire meant that those around her treated her with respect, and there was no one she could talk to as freely as Ars.

"Oi, Bahamut, until when will you maintain your vicious facade? Quickly assume your human form."

"All right, you really are impatient."

Behind the curtain, the huge figure was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the next instant, the curtains opened to reveal a naked beauty entangled by countless roots up to her arms.

Crimson eyes that possessed a seductive charm, long hair faintly shimmering with the color of lapis lazuli, skin whiter than pearl, and slender arms and legs as delicate as a doll's.

"Close your eyes, big brother Ars!"

Areishia covered Ars's eyes with her hands, she didn't expect Bahamut to appear naked.

"Fufu~ there's no point in you doing that, Areishia. This is not the first time Ars has seen my naked body."

Bahamut was amused by Areishia's actions.

"Is that true, Big Brother Ars?" Areishia puffed out her cheeks.

"What she said is true, don't worry about it, Areishia. Furry is not my type... Maybe."

Even Ars himself doubted his statement.

Bunny girl, cat girl, and fox girl. Which man does not like these three things.

"Anyway, big brother Ars can't see Bahamut."

For the first time, Areishia felt jealous.

"Up to you." Ars shrugged and agreed.

"Wait a minute, I'm looking for something to blindfold big brother Ars."

Areishia looked around for a cloth or blindfold. In the end, she only found her panties tucked away in a pouch.

"Areishia, you can use that." Bahamut said with a smile.

"Okay."

After pondering for a moment, Areishia felt that it was a good idea. Then she sheathed her panties over Ars' head so that it covered half of his face.

"Pufff ha ha ha ha..."

Seeing Ars' ridiculous appearance, Bahamut laughed out loud.

"Puchi—fffttt"

Even Areishia was holding back her laughter.

Hearing the laughter of the two girls, Ars' face twitched.

"You called Areishia not only to do this kind of thing, right? If so, then we will go."

"Ahahaha~ alright, the joke ends here. This is your punishment for breaking your promise, Ars."

"Promise?"

"You didn't bring me cake when you visited me. I have been waiting for your arrival for a very long time, you know~"

"Cough Cough Cough…. Let's talk about the main topic."

Only now did Ars remember making such a promise. He hastily changed the subject.
