Dragon King's Harem Chapter 284. The Dragon King's Return IV

The grand dining hall was a pure luxury. Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting a soft, warm light over the long table. The polished marble floor reflected the flickering light from the chandeliers.

We took our seats. A feast fit for royalty awaited us. The table was filled with an array of dishes. Juicy roasted meats seasoned with exotic spices, fresh fruits and vegetables arranged like artwork, and bowls of steaming soups filled the air with mouthwatering aromas. 

I made sure Glasha sat beside me, hoping it would make her feel more comfortable among my other wives. It was important she felt welcomed, despite the awkwardness of her joining us under complicated circumstances.

We started eating. Jyne, Sela, and Marissa were laughing and chatting. But Glasha remained quiet, barely touching her food. I could see her unease, so I decided to break the ice.

"Attention, everyone," I began. "Glasha, how about introducing yourself properly to the others? I think it might help everyone get to know you better."

Glasha seemed surprised, her brow furrowing slightly. She hesitated for a moment but then stood up, locking eyes with me briefly before turning to face the others.

“I’m Princess Glasha of the orc tribe,” she said, her tone firm but laced with a bit of reluctance. “As you know, I’m now the dragon king’s newest wife.”

Jyne gave her a bright smile. “It’s great to meet you, Glasha,” she said, reaching out a hand. “You’ve got a strong presence. I think you’ll fit in just fine.”

Sela nodded in agreement, her expression kind. “Yes, welcome to the family,” she said softly. “We’re all different, but we’re united by our love for the dragon king.”

Even Marissa chimed in. “We all have our reasons for being here,” she said with a thoughtful smile. “But we’ve chosen this life.”

Glasha acknowledged their words with a nod and a quiet “thank you” before sitting back down, still looking a little unsure of herself. I could tell she wasn’t used to this kind of setting.

Jyne leaned in with a friendly smile. “So, Glasha, tell us more about life in the orc tribe,” she said. “What’s it like? And what made you decide to come here?”

Glasha seemed caught off guard but quickly composed herself. “Life in the orc tribe is tough, but we’re proud of who we are,” she said. “We’re warriors, loyal to our traditions. Coming here was a decision for the good of my people. It’s an alliance, one that’s meant to bring peace between the orcs and dragons.”

Sela smiled again. “It takes a lot of courage to leave behind everything you know,” she said gently. “We respect that.”

Marissa added, “Fate has a way of bringing us together.”

The conversation was finally flowing, but Glasha still seemed a little reserved. Understandable, considering the circumstances.

Jyne shifted the conversation, turning to me. “What about the western border? Is it secure now?”

I nodded. “Yes, thanks to our recent victory, the border is safe. But we still need to address the issue with the Minotaurs,” I said. “Finding a way to establish lasting peace with them is crucial.”

Marissa leaned forward. “Does Glasha’s marriage to you signal a new alliance between the orcs and dragons?” she asked, her curiosity evident.

Due the question, Glasha’s face darkened slightly, her expression unreadable. 

Evelina, sensing the tension, spoke up, her voice calm but serious. “It’s complicated,” she said, glancing at me for confirmation. “The previous orc king didn’t want peace. He was determined to keep fighting, which put both the orcs and dragons in danger.”

I nodded, backing her up. “I had no choice but to confront him. In the end, I had to defend my people and end the war by taking his life,” I said firmly. “Sometimes sacrifices have to be made for the greater good.”
