Chapter 323. Lizard And Dragon V

Dragon King's Harem Chapter 323. Lizard And Dragon V

The subtle dance of tension continued within the tent as Viperax attempted to mask his displeasure. My deliberate choice of words had hit a nerve, and though his dissatisfaction briefly surfaced, he swiftly regained his composure.

"It was a good joke, Argod," he declared, his words accompanied by a forced chuckle as he tried to brush off the discomfort.

Choosing to play along with the charade, I offered a casual smile in return. "It is," I agreed, briefly keeping the atmosphere light. However, my expression shifted, and the levity dissipated as I locked eyes with him. "But seriously, don't check out my wife. Both of them," I asserted firmly.

Viperax responded with a smirk. "Possessive as ever, huh?" he remarked.

Unyielding, I retorted, "You will do the same if I check your wife."

Viperax's audacious claim hung in the air. His prideful stance, leaning toward me, showcased a self-assured grin as if he had just revealed an untold secret of his irresistibility.

"No, of course. If other kings check out my wife in front of me, I will gladly show that they will never get their attention, ever," he boasted, his words dripping with arrogance. "That's because all of them are in love with me. They're crazy about me, so I'm not afraid they'll be interested in other men besides me," he concluded, a triumphant aura surrounding him.

My own expression morphed into a furrowed brow. Evelina, Jyne, Al, and Eir mirrored my sentiments, their incredulous glances exchanged among themselves.

Jyne couldn't contain her bewilderment and leaned toward Evelina, whispering with a tilted head, "What makes him so confident to say that? What makes him think that we don't love Argod?" Even within the royal attitudes, this lizard king's unwarranted arrogance seemed to transcend the boundaries of reason.

Al couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, his gaze locked on Viperax. Eir maintained a stern expression. The collective disapproval emanated from our group and formed an unspoken consensus.

I met Viperax's audacious taunt with an unwavering gaze. "Your baseless assumption is surely something," I retorted. "But you forgot, Evelina was the one who stayed in my palace for decades and remained there even during my hibernation. And Jyne, she volunteered herself to be my wife. And you're saying they're only with me because I forced them?" I questioned.

Viperax let out a scoff, his dismissive gesture emphasizing the supposed triviality of my relationships. "Well, being a dragon king surely gets you a lot of prizes and women," he taunted.

"It's not just about prizes or titles," I asserted, my voice carrying the weight of sincerity. "Evelina and Jyne are not trophies; they are individuals with their own choices. They chose to be with me because of who I am."

"Besides…" My retort was delivered with an annoying smirk. "It can't be helped. I was born to be the supreme leader and have become one. Dragon is a majestic creature, after all," I remarked casually, emphasizing the inherent superiority I embodied. "If that weren't the case, then why did your pathetic baron try to steal the wyvern's egg? You know the rumors about the benefits that egg holds for other tribes, don't you? And let's not forget how your tribe desperately attempted to create fake wings to resemble the dragon's," I continued, steering the conversation toward the contentious issue.

His displeasure was evident, his facial expression shifting in response to my clear disdain.

While I acknowledged that not all lizard tribes engaged in such behavior, Viperax's lack of determination to curb those who did left a sour taste. Instead of putting an end to such actions, he permitted them to persist.

The air in the tent grew tense as the underlying conflict between our tribes simmered beneath the surface.

Viperax, challenged by my accusation, responded defensively. "It was just one or two people from my tribe, and I've already punished them. You shouldn't mention something that's already finished," he countered, a displeased frown etching across his face.

The tension in the tent lingered. My skepticism about the effectiveness of his punishment was evident, my gaze unwavering.

The underlying conflict between our tribes demanded a resolution, and Viperax's defensive posture only fueled the fire.
