The dragon's harem-Chapter 1211: Titan’s Castle

Gale laughed, "No, no, I won't dare compare myself to the goddess of magic." His laughter quickly died down as his gaze shifted to Arad. "But, that doesn't make any sense, does it? A woman in clothes is getting married. What did the goddess of magic have to say about that?"

Alice sighed, "First, it's none of your business. Second, it would've never happened if she hadn't agreed." Alice turned around and walked to stand behind Arad, which only took her a single step. She then shrank back to stand behind him.

Gale took a deep breath. "I'm sure the trip through the storm was exhausting." And at the same time, Arad's voice rang, "Not really, seen worse."

"Please rest and relax. We'll discuss things tomorrow… and what is this worse thing you've seen?" Gale lifted an eyebrow, and Arad shrugged, "Hell, had a dispute with a devil lord there, so I gave him a beating."

All of the titans around looked at him with surprised faces and shifted their gazes to one of the kings' wives. They immediately grew grim as they noticed her pale face. "He isn't lying, it is true." The titan woman can tell lies from the truth.

Arad didn't lie about anything. All he needed them to be was wary of him, and slowly sense that he is more powerful than they expected. People fear the unknown, and he was going to use that. He wanted them to start suspecting that their evaluation of his power is wrong, but he also wanted them to never know the extent of his power.

He was the Emperor of Nothing after all. He was going to become the Unknown.

Arad waved his hand and started floating, everyone got carried with him. "So? Is our room the one the servants are cleaning north?" He turned aside, and all of the titans paled, even Gale.

"How…" Gale gasped and Arad smiled, not letting the king finish, so what he said won't be a lie. "They are loud, aren't they? I can hear them from here."

The wife who could tell lies from truth sighed and looked at one of the standing titans, "Guide them there."

After Arad and his companions left, Gale and his wives retreated into a chamber that was behind the throne and locked the door. The walls were enchanted to suppress all kinds of magic; no one could hear or see what happened inside, and the area was protected against all manner of divination magic.

"He wasn't lying earlier. He nonchalantly braved the storm, challenged a devil lord in hell, and could even hear the servants far away through the barriers of the castle." The wife sighed, dropping onto her chair. "Are you sure he is just as powerful as we expected? He isn't hearing us now, is he?"

Another wife shook her head, "That would be impossible."

Gale sighed, "That doesn't matter. The important part is that he'll be Tyal's husband soon. The stronger he is, the better."

"With how powerful Alice was, I suspect Tyal would end up as her concubine." This one was Tyal's mother. "I didn't expect that monster to lay her eyes on the new emperor… since she was a cleric after all."

The fourth of the wives cursed and glared at the ceiling, "I bet that goddess is up to something nasty. Why would she allow one of her clerics to get married?"

Gale looked at them, "It is not unheard of. Marriage is different from what is needed to lose her power. But that isn't what we should care about. Tyal is our problem, we need to make sure everything goes smoothly for her."

"And let little Tyal be a concubine? We should give that dragon a lesson." But strangely, Tyal's mother spoke next, "Let Tyal solve that. He is a dragon, so the power of his wives dictates their rank, not his will."

Gale glared at her, "She is your daughter…but… you're right. Tyal is a concubine to Alice since she is weaker than her. The solution would be simple: make Tyal stronger."

As they talked, Arad was sitting on the bed in the room, listening to them through Zephyr's magic. The Titans need to breathe after all, and so they were engulfed in Zephyr's domain even inside their secret room. It wasn't that hard to inscribe magic to listen and even see them through the barriers.

"They are relatively smart. Figured things quite quickly." Alice said and then turned to Tyal, who looked at Arad with both a horrified and amazed look.

"Wait…Zephyr can do that… no, that spirit is letting you use her magic? Aren't spirits really secretive about their magic?" She shook her head, but then Zephyr flew out of Arad's chest and looked at her. "Secretive is a relative term; I'm quite open to Arad and Aella."

Arad dropped onto the bed and sighed, "Well, we aren't exactly exhausted, so how about we go around the city? Or do you have a few things to take care of?" He looked at Tyal, and she shook her head, "No, not really. Our visit wasn't expected, so I won't have anything to do immediately."

"You'll go see your mother and father at least." Alice looked at her, but Tyal laughed.

"See them? The busy king and queen won't have time to rest until the evening at least. I'll go see them then, for now, I'll take you all on a trip around the Storm Titan's capital, my home city." She stood with a proud smile.

"Anything we should worry about? Like the deadly storm outside?" Claug looked at her with an amused smile. "The wind there is so fast that it would've thrown a human into the clouds. We're simply able to stand and move thanks to our weight."

She was right. Arad, Tyal, Alice, and her weigh a lot and have enough mass to resist the wind, but the servants they brought with them don't. The servants they brought aren't that special, just Sebas and two elvish knight servants. The same two who were standing on Arad's balcony.

With a flick of his finger, he summoned them, and they appeared standing on the bed. Sebas seemed unbothered as he slowly lifted his head and looked up. The two elvish knight maids on the other hand feel to their butts and gasped.

Arad was on the bed beside them, and none of them was taller than his fingers. "Whoha! You're huge!" One of the two knight maids gasped, and the other looked around, seeing the titanic room around them, and her face paled. Just one brick on the wall would be more than what the elves traded with the titans for years. In fact, they could fit a whole fortress on top of the bed and a castle in the room.

Arad shifted and grew small until he stood at his normal height of three meters. Sebas still had to look up, but he finally spoke. "I feel a lot of powerful beings around us. They are far away. But I suspect they are behind the door in the hallway, considering how massive everything is."

"They are." Arad scratched the back of his head, "But… you don't have to worry about them. None can defeat me, even if a thousand of them came. Not even their king, he isn't even as strong as Merida or Eris."

Sebas nodded, "Have you considered that he is hiding his power? Just like you?"

"Even if he were a hundred times stronger, I can still kill a thousand of him." Arad took a deep breath. "And I'm afraid that I'm underestimating my power even then."
