Dragon King's Harem Chapter 72. The Wyvern Huge Feast III

Baron Gawyn Lizardflaw, it was clear from the name, it was the name of the Lizard Tribe nobles. But I didn't expect a Baron from another Tribe to dare to order his knights to steal in my territory.

"Where is he now?" I asked again. Even though the Lizard Tribe's territory was in this direction, the entire Draconis border was heavily guarded. I was not sure they could smuggle the egg through such strict inspections so I was guessing he was probably around here.

“W-Whitevalley Village,” he replied in clear fear. His hands covered his wounds. That was the name of the village where I would spend the night.

"What is he doing there?" I said again. I was sure a noble from another tribe who suddenly came to Draconis by road must have some purpose.

"H-He wants to meet the king, sir," he answered.

I narrowed my eyes in disbelief.
"Was that the Lizard King's request? Or did he come of his own accord?" I asked again. The Dragon Tribe and the Lizard Tribe had quite a strange relationship. Although the Dragon Tribe and the Lizard Tribe had similar features in their humanoid appearance, the relationship between the two tribes was not good. Both of us were only holding ourselves back for peace. There was a time when The Lizard Tribe tried to ride the Dragon tribe's coattails with the excuse of our similar appearance, especially since the Dragon tribe was the top chain predator in this world. Back then, many of the Lizard Tribe tried to imitate the Dragon tribe's appearance by making special armour to cover their tails, so that it resembled a dragon's tail. Also, artificial wings infused with wind magic crystals, which allowed them to float for a few seconds. But of course, since it was a fake, the wings could only make the user fly without being able to control it. That had made the relationship between the two tribes heat up since many Lizard Tribes ended up using it to cause trouble to other tribes by pretending to be the Dragon Tribe. Which culminated in a peace agreement after The Dragon King won the duel against The Lizard King. After that, all the armour used to imitate the Dragon Tribe's tail was declared illegal and had to be destroyed, as well as the fake wings. The Lizard Tribe who had pretended to be The Dragon Tribe were also sentenced to death. But it didn't stop there because secretly, many of the Lizard Tribe were still jealous of The Dragon Tribe's prestigious status.

"I-It's the king's order, sir," he answered again.

"Then why didn't he come with the sky carriage?" Usually, all the king's envoys who went to other tribes' territories would use sky carriage instead of by road like this.

"T-The Baron's territory is near the border, so he decided to take the road."

"Why did Your King ask him to meet the Dragon King?" I continued to interrogate him.

"T-The dragon king has been sleeping for a long time now. So The King sent him just to make sure The Dragon King is in good health. His Majesty is very worried about The Dragon King's condition, sir."

A chuckle escaped my mouth upon his words.
"Your king worried about my king? And want to check him by sending his Baron?" I said in a cynical tone before I continued my laughter. Baron was of the lowest status in the aristocracy. Usually, the other kingdoms sent the king's assistant, the Duke, the Chancellor or at least the count as their delegation, yet he sent a Baron to check on me.

While that Lizard Tribe could only remain silent.

"Then what about the egg? Is that the king's or the Baron's order?" I asked again.

"I - It's the Baron's order, sir," he replied. I came to the conclusion that's why he took the road. It was because he wanted to take the Wyvern egg.

"What's his plan with the egg?"

"He is planning to eat it..."

A breath escaped my mouth as a mocking smirk appeared on my lips.
"Is that because of that old bullshit again?" I wasn't a king now, so I wouldn't hesitate to use my curse word.

"It-It's... Because the Baron believes that by consuming the Wyvern egg periodically, a pair of wings will appear on his back one day."

Another chuckle out of my mouth since I couldn't hold it anymore.
"So it's because of another bullshit," I said in a sarcastic tone as I could let out my voice. Still, even though this sounded like a joke, if a Baron believed it I was sure this belief was widespread and there must be something causing them to believe this.

"Thank you for your information," I said, ending my interrogation.

"Y-You will let me go, right?" he reminded me of my promise.

"Of course," I said in a casual tone. Even though he didn't know my identity, my principle as a king forbade me to break my promise. I tilted my head to the side and whistled again. It was a bargain to the Wyvern to let him go.

"Graahhhh!!!" That Wyvern answered me with a roar of anger. His eyes stared at the frightened Lizardman furiously. Obviously, he refused it.

I turned to that Wyvern. Again, a whistle out of my mouth and I ended it with an evil smirk.

The wyvern was silent for a while before a smirk also formed on his lips, a sign that he had agreed with me.
"Good," I said.

Then, the Wyvern opened his mouth and I placed the egg that was almost half a car tire size, under his tongue. It was the Wyverns' way of carrying their eggs and keeping them warm if they had to travel far away.

After he covered his mouth and I gave him a few pats on his head, he flicked his wings and flew away without even glancing at me or the Lizardman again.

Seeing the Wyvern fly away, the lizard man laughed happily.
"He's gone... Ahahaha--- He's gone!" I could tell that he was only afraid of the Wyvern from the start, not me. So since the Wyvern had left, he could ensure that he would be safe.

I turned to him. My smirk was still on my lips.
"I wouldn't be that happy if I were you," I said in a calm tone.

"Why?"

"The Wyvern has gone, but other guests have arrived," I said.

His laughter faded as he realized what I meant. His eyes swept around him in fear. The rustling sound of the bushes moving on their own came from all directions. With my Dragon Vision, I could see that we were already surrounded by monsters. They were also only afraid of the Wyvern so they reappeared after he had left.

"Your Mad Boar is still there, you should escape while you can," I said as I pointed at his mount with my gaze. Well, with his wounds, I was not sure he would survive since blood was the best bait for all monsters. In addition, it would create a trail, so he couldn't hide either.

"No! No!!! You have to save me! You have promised to save me!" he pleaded.

"I promised you to let you go, not save you," I said. This was why the Wyvern agreed to release the Lizardman. Then, without further ado, I flicked my wings.
"Good luck!" I said as I flew away accompanied by the Lizardman's terrified scream.

[All enemies have been defeated!]
[You have gained EXP!]

An announcement in front of me showed the Lizardman's life had ended. I flew as my eyes searched for Eir and the others' whereabouts. In just 5 minutes, I found them. I also detected some monsters in front of them. I quickly got down and back on my Yegaun.
"What happened to the Wyvern, sir?" Eir greeted me with a question without turning his eyes from the front. Our mounts kept moving fast.

"The problem isn't with the Wyvern. I'll tell you something interesting later. For now, switch the formation with me, we have a battle waiting for us ahead," I said.

"Yes, sir."
