Dragon King's Harem Chapter 134. The Fox Prince's Request and The Fox King's Answer V

Half a minute later, after Jyne had left, we came out of our hiding place and walked towards my office. I also asked the guards to shut their mouths for what they just heard. Although I didn't catch any bad intentions from Arter's words, some people might get it the other way around.

As soon as I sat down at my office, I took out The Fox King's letter and gave it to Eir. He took it and read it. Just like Jyne, his shock grew clearer as he read it.
"This... This is outrageous. How could he say this? We've already helped him and it's her who wants to be with you but he's asking you to prove yourself?" he said in disbelief. He couldn't accept it since The Fox King should be thanking Argod. Yet he asked otherwise.
"If he doesn't want to hand Princess Jyne to you he should just say it straight. Not in this way." Now he understood why Jyne looked so sad earlier and Argod decided to eavesdrop in silence.

"Are you going to send her back to her kingdom?" he guessed upon my calmness though based on Jyne's attitude, Eir bet she would crawl back to return to Draconis.

"No, I've accepted the challenge," I said in a calm tone.

He frowned.
"But why? You don't have any obligation to prove yourself." After all, dueling a Prince suddenly was a little dangerous for Argod. At least for his pride.

"Indeed. But sending her back and waiting for her to come back to me means it all depends on her. Not me. It's no different than taking something out of pity." And I had no interest in that.

Eir couldn't deny what Argod said, but that didn't mean he completely agreed with it. He didn't like how the Fox King didn't appreciate what Argod was doing. But again, there was no better proof in Igixar than winning a battle or a duel. It was the only way and the highest law in this world. The strong would live, the weak would die.

The knocking sound from the door broke the silence between us. This was followed by the sound of the door opening.
"Your Majesty." Sela's cheerful voice followed her light footsteps. Her presence lightened up the tense atmosphere in the room. It was Sela's speciality.

Without any formalities, Sela climbed onto me and sat on my lap.
"You should have told me you were home. At least I could give you a proper welcome." Her hands hugged me, spilling all her worries and longing for me. Eir only smiled at us since he was used to this. Even she behaved like this to the real Argod.

I chuckled.
"I was in disguise, remember?" A proper welcome was clearly impossible for me.

She sighed.
"I forgot." Then she let go of her hands.
"But you don't have to do that anymore right?" Her tone sounded like a plea.

"I hope so." Well, I could go with my portal so I shouldn't. But who knew?

"Anyway, I made your order," she said proudly. She took out a silver bracelet with a black magic stone in the center. The bracelet was filled with beautiful ornaments and carvings and was perfect for royalty's accessories. Even though it was not. The bracelet's purpose was more wicked than it looks.

[Name: Dragon's Servant Bracelet]
[Type: Accessories ]
[A bracelet made of special materials and crystals to bind the wearer according to the owner of the Mana in it. Suppresses the user's Mana and skills. Bracelet cannot be removed or destroyed except by the owner of Mana (Cannot be used on King of the tribe, owner of Mark of Servant / Mark of Bride)]
[Maker: Sela Akerra Notilda ]
[Status: Normal]
[Duration: Six months after activation]

Bracelets were usually used to increase the user's defense, mostly used by women since it didn't bother their elegant appearance. While men preferred to use gauntlets. But this bracelet's function was the other way around. It suppressed and interfered with the user's Mana flow so the user wouldn't be able to use her/his skills for a while.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sela." I was satisfied with her creation. And she grinned in reply.

I just took the bracelet from her hand. But the stone suddenly glowed as an announcement appeared in front of me.

[The bracelet has no owner yet. Are you going to claim this bracelet as yours?]
[Yes] [No]

Which was followed by an explanation from Sela even though she didn't see my announcement.
"You have to flow your Mana first to claim it, Your Majesty."

"Will it activate after I do it?" I asked.

She shook her head from side to side.
"It will only activate after you put it on someone. Claimed it doesn't mean activating it," she explained.

"Fine." After I chose yes, the stone on the bracelet glowed as it absorbed my Mana.

[Your Mana has decreased by 100 points.]
[You have successfully claimed Dragon's Servant Bracelet.]

Although its appearance did not change, a faint reddish aura covered the bracelet. It also made the bracelet look more beautiful as if it were precious jewels.

"It's beautiful..." she muttered. Her eyes fell on the bracelet. Likewise with Eir. He was stunned with his eyes fixed on it. It was my Mana that changed the bracelet.

"Your Majesty, may I know what you want to do with it?" asked Sela.

"The war will occur soon. My ancestors and I have made a vow that we will maintain this world balance. Even if I win the war, I can't wipe out their tribe. I need a way to make them submit to me. This is the only way I can think of.” At the same time, the bracelet disappeared as it entered my inventory.

"But the bracelet has a time limit," Sela reminded. She was a little disappointed since she couldn't extend the duration longer than that.

"It's fine. It's exactly what I needed." At least it gave me enough time until I could use my Dragon Curse. It was an epic skill that I could only use after I got the Shadow Legendary Beast, Umbris. Just like my portal skill, the previous Dragon Kings didn't dare to use it since the shadow element would take a toll on their Curse. Moreover, this skill was a much higher skill than portals.

Again a knocking sound came from the door. This time it was Al and General Guillotine who came over and bowed to me.

"I'm sure you already know why I called you here. We'll start with the Orc and Minotaur," I said.
