Dragon King's Harem Chapter 207. Evelina's Request III
That answer made Evelina press her lips. I was sure she knew that I was right. As a dragon king, I had no business with what happened to The Orc or The Minotaur. Their doom and suffering upon their king was not my problem unless they were guests on my territory.
On the other hand, the exodus was not something easy on Igixar. Our border guards would identify that as an attack. So the first thing we usually did was take them to the shelter first which was usually still in the border area. They were not allowed to go to other towns before everything was clear.
After a short silence, Evelina opened her voice again.
“Your Majesty, you know about this war because of me. At least, let me explain my suggestion. After that, I will leave all the decisions to you,” she tried to bargain.
"Fine. Tell me what your idea is. But remember, it doesn't mean I will accept it," I decided to give her a chance.
“I will act as a decoy to lure Uraugh out. I'm sure he would fall for it. And after he comes out, you simply do the same as what you did to Xinrax," she explained.
A frown appeared on my forehead.
"You mean, you want me to kidnap him and defeat him in a duel?" I clarified.
"Exactly!" said Evelina. "Once he loses, I'm sure Princess Glasha won't mind withdrawing the orc."
I, Eir, and General Guillotine were silent upon her suggestion. It wasn't as bad as I thought. It was a good idea, to be honest. But I wasn't sure I could trap Uraugh in the same way as before.
"He is not Xinrax," I pointed out.
"So what?" Evelina retorted. "You have defeated Xinrax easily. You can defeat him just the same."
"That's not the problem, Evelina. Uraugh is smarter than Xinrax and I'm sure he already knows how I kidnap Xinrax from the Minotaur. I'm not sure he will take the bait," I explained.
"He won't be able to resist me, Your Majesty," Evelina said confidently.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because he wants me not only because he loves me, but because of something else," she replied in a firm tone.
"And what is that?" I asked, intrigued. It was weird since I didn't have any memory of that so I guessed she also just knew it after she read General Kul's memory.
Evelina took a couple of deep breaths before she continued again.
"He wants to conquer the whole world, Your Majesty. And I am the key to it. He believes that if he took me as his wife, he could rule over Igixar and defeat you. That's why he keeps trying to take me no matter what," she confessed. From her expression, I knew this was hard for her to say.
The three of us were shocked by that confession. None of us had any idea about this.
"That's... impossible," Eir said aloud. His confusion was clear on his face. Likewise with Guillotine.
"Mind explaining it more?" I demanded. I didn't understand, how could this turn into something else. I thought Uraugh wanted her because of his blind love.
Evelina bent her head a bit.
"I never heard this before so I'm not sure either. But based on General Kul's memory, Uraugh once said about my power to revive the dead and heal nonstop. He also mentioned that I haven't awakened my true power yet. So love and my power are the reason why he decided to start the war," she explained.
I couldn't believe my ears. But rather than asking her again, I tried to process all the information and track back what happened between Uraugh and the real Argod.
"It could be a lie. Since my father never mentioned anything about this," added Evelina before I said a word.
Eir and General Guillotine also thought the same thing. They started to give their opinion about how cunning Uraugh was, so there was a high possibility that he said it so that General Kul considers the war not only based on his personal reasons. Still, his stubbornness to get Evelina was a sign that he wanted to take her for whatever reason.
Still, I didn't say anything. What she said reminded me of what her father did. Before the real Argod accepted Evelina and let her stay in the palace, the king of the healer tribe met him once. The real Argod thought the king wanted to say something about Evelina, instead, he only requested for taking care of and protecting her.
'Is he know all of this from the start? Is that the main reason why the king of the healer tribe gave Evelina to the real Argod?' I thought.
I thought he was afraid of the orc tribe but I was wrong. It seemed he was afraid Evelina's hidden power would bring disaster to his kingdom. The kings would come to him one by one and ask him for Evelina. Whoever he chose, the war would occur. So he decided to give her to the most powerful king in this world. The Dragon King.
I had to admit the king of the healer tribe made a good choice. I also would do the same thing if I was him.
"I think what Uraugh said might be true," I said out of the blue. It managed to silence them.
"How would you know?" Eir asked in a doubtful tone.
"Let me ask you, Eir if you are a king, would you just give your daughter away and let her live in someone else's palace for years?" It was a simple logical question. “Even if you are afraid of a king of the enemy kingdom, are you going to let her stay there without status for years?” I added.
My question silenced them. Their eyes widened in surprise as they understood where it would go.
"It can't be..." muttered Evelina in a stammering voice. "Does that mean my father knew this all along?" she asked in shock.
