Dragon King's Harem Chapter 78. The Rude Baron II

After they left, Eir sheathed his sword and came over to me.

"Are you going to let them go just like that, sir?" His eyes were still on those Lizardmen.

I turned to Eir.

"Yes, let them be. I'm sure this is what the Lizard King wanted," I said in the same relaxed tone.

"What do you mean?" said Eir.

"I'll explain in my room later. Now, clean this up," I said as I pointed at the rest of the Spikes and the half of the Stone Wall that was still standing in the middle of the street with my gaze. Even though it would be gone by tomorrow morning, it blocked half of the street and the Inn's entrance. Besides, even though the street remained dark, my Dragon Vision caught some of the villagers peeking out of their windows and watching us in silence from their houses.

"I understand." He took out his sword again and turned his gaze to the Spikes and the Stone Wall. His hand moved fast. Within a few slashes, all of that shattered into pieces.

I turned around and entered the Inn. While Eir followed me. As the door behind me closed, my gaze shifted to the Inn Owner who was hiding in fear behind the bar counter.

"Sorry for the mess, sir," said Eir politely.

"I-It's okay," he said in a stammering voice. It seemed he was used to rude guests but he wasn't used to this kind of fight.

"Can I help you to clean it up, sir?" I asked. The room looked a little messy due to my Telekinetic skill when I pushed the Lizardmen out of this place.

"I-It's fine, sir. My servants can take care of it," he said again.

"Then we'll excuse ourselves. Good night, sir." I nodded slightly and turned to the stairs. Evelina and Jyne also followed me after saying goodnight to the Inn Owner. Meanwhile, Eir took our bags before following me.

The squeaking sound followed every time our feet landed on the wooden stairs. Since the width of the stairs was less than 2 meters and a little steep, we had to be careful with every step we took.

The 2nd story was more boring than the lobby. The entire interior was made of wood. A lighting crystal at each corner of that place and the rooms lined on sides of the narrow passage. A sign indicating the direction of the servant's rooms hung on the wall at the end of the stairs.

Without saying anything, we walked down the passage, looking for the room that matched the number on our key.

We stopped in front of our room and opened the lock. A simple room with a queen-size bed with two chairs and a table. A window covered with curtains on the other side. The room size was smaller than my original world's room. Also, this room was a little cold compared to the lobby.

I sat on the chair. While Eir locked the door and put our bags on the table. Jyne and Evelina chose to sit on the side of the bed since the seat wasn't enough for us.

"Sit down, Eir," I said to Eir who was still standing in front of me like a soldier waiting for my order.

"But-"

"We are equal here," I interrupted him.

After replying to me with a polite nod, he sat down on the chair.

I opened my palm.

'Inventory, soundproof crystal.'

A pyramid-shaped crystal with a green-white glow appeared in my hand. An announcement popped up in front of me.

[Do you want to activate the soundproof Crystal?]

[Yes] [No]

'Yes.' The crystal floated in the midst of us and emitted a faint green glow that illuminated the room and covered the room like a pyramid. I did this to avoid the Lizardmen from eavesdropping on our conversation.

"So as I said before, I believe this is the Lizard King's main purpose in sending him here," I started our conversation.

"But why? Isn't this the same as challenging the Dragon Tribe?" asked Eir.

Evelina, who was deep in thought, opened her voice.

"I think their goal is not the war but to lower the people's trust in His Majesty."

"How can those Lizard Tribes lower the people's trust with their stupid actions?" asked Jyne with a frown.

"By executing me," I replied in a calm tone.

Jyne turned to me. Her confusion was clear on her face.

"Executing you?" she repeated in confusion.

"Yes. Think again. He not only sent me an ordinary Baron but a rude one. He can't even follow the basic rules of visiting another tribe's territory and causing trouble once he steps into Draconis territory," I explained.

Eir, who had been silent, spoke.

"You're right... If I was on an official visit and came on behalf of the king, I would think twice about ordering my subordinates to do something illegal. Because that would not only tarnish my reputation but also my tribe and my King."

"But didn't that Baron do that because he took the road?" said Jyne again with the same confusion.

"What the Baron did was not the result of him taking the road but the reason why The Lizard King let him take the road. That way he had to pass through small villages like this and based on his bad temper, The Lizard King was able to confirm his Baron would make a fuss with the commoners. Also, there's a chance that the Lizard King already knows that the Baron is after the Wyvern's egg," said Evelina. Her brows were also furrowed, indicating that she was thinking hard.

Hearing Evelina's words, Jyne thought for a while before she finally realized what I meant.

"Oh--- I get it! That way, The Lizard King can have a reason to complain to the Dragon Tribe and request the officials' responsibility for this accident. And since he thinks His Majesty is still asleep and this is related to the two tribes' relationship, the official has no other way but to sacrifice the commoners who fought the Baron even if they are innocent. That way the people's trust will be decreased. "

"And even if no one opposes the Baron, the people's trust will still decline because that means even a Baron from another tribe can make trouble in Draconis easily. It's between the devil and the deep blue sea for Draconis' officials," Eir added.

"That's right. But since he met us. Then The Lizard King will eat his own trap," I said. And I was pretty sure he would choose to clean up his subordinates instead of challenging the Dragon King like the past.

"I see... That's why you let them go," said Jyne.

"Yeah," I replied.

"Anyway, it's getting late. We should go to sleep now." Tomorrow we would enter the Icicle Tundra area, so we had to prepare our strength and stamina, especially for the cold environment. I turned to Eir.

"Do you have the alarm parchment?" That parchment would be protected in our room by some kind of alarm that would detect intruders. We had to be careful, especially of those Lizardmen.

"I have it, sir."

After that answer, I cancelled the soundproof crystal and put it in my inventory.

"Okay, go back to your room. We'll meet again tomorrow morning," I said.

"Yes, sir." Then he gave me a slight nod and left the room.
