DRAGON MONARCH SYSTEM - Season 3 Episode 29

“Grandpa, where is Aditya?” Right after the Great Sage Snake left the Southern region, everything began to calm down gradually. At the same time, Julia and others returned to Skyline Castle.

As soon as Julia returned, seeing that Aditya was not there, she turned to Watson.

Right now Watson was in a very difficult situation. How would he know where Aditya had gone? His majesty just left without even telling him where he was going. Watson knows that if he tells Julia that Aditya just left without telling him anything, she would be very worried.

“I believe his Majesty has gone to go the Central plains. He should return shortly.” Inwardly, Watson just hoped that Aditya would return as soon as possible.

“Why Aditya would go there?” Julia couldn’t understand why Aditya has gone there. For now, Julia calmed thinking as she believed that Aditya wasn’t the type of person who would take act irrationally.

Julia and the others kept waiting for Aditya to return. Time passed like lightning. Before they knew it, more than 6 hours had passed and Aditya still showed no sign of returning. By now the goddess of Alchemy had run out of patience.

“Did Aditya tell you where he was going?” Julia asked.

Watson shook his head with a helpless smile. “No.”

“That’s it. I am done waiting for him. I will send someone to ask Alicia to look for Aditya.” Since they had no way of knowing where Aditya had gone, Julia felt that Alicia might be able to find him as she had business connections to all 6 continents.

“There is no need to look for me. I am here.” Julia’s eyes lit up like light bulbs. She turned her head and looked outside through the window to find Aditya standing in the air while holding an unconscious man by his neck.

“Aditya, are you hurt?” Others might not have noticed this but Julia noticed that the Dragon King’s face looked slightly pale.

“No, I am alright” Aditya replied with an exhausted smile. Ever since the poison had entered his body, Aditya was constantly feeling very weak. Now after 6 hours, the effect of the poison had become even stronger. His body was being destroyed from the inside out.

Even though he said that he was alright, Julia felt something was wrong with Aditya. She just couldn’t point it out. Meanwhile, Aditya entered the castle and handed Ivan to Watson.

“You’re majesty who is he?” Watson found this man’s cultivation has been crippled.

“He is one of the inner-member of The League of Black Tomb.” On hearing Aditya’s words, the look on everyone’s faces changed. Watson also held Ivan tightly knowing that this man was their enemy he became rougher with Ivan.

“I have destroyed his mana heart. Right now he can’t talk anything about the organization as his soul is bound by a contract. But soon I will find a way to break the contract and make him talk. For now please lock him in the deepest parts of the prison. Tie his body with metal chains so that he can’t move his body.” Before coming here, Aditya had ordered Ivan to not harm himself or commit suicide. Since Ivan had become his slave, he had no choice but to obey Aditya’s order otherwise, he will feel the pain of his soul being torn apart.

After Watson took Ivan away, Aditya finally turned his attention to Julia who couldn’t wait to give him a hug but she was too embarrassed to do it in front of others. Aditya couldn’t understand why she was feeling this embarrassed. Julia even hugged him in front of millions of soldiers after the goblin invasion.

“Princess, I missed you.” Aditya pulled Julia into a hug. His arms wrapped themselves around her soft and slim waist while the goddess put her hands on his shoulders and buried her face in his chest.

Seeing this others were mature enough to leave and give the couple some space. “Your Majesty, we will come later. Please take your time.” Aditya just nodded his head while hugging Julia. Honestly, Aditya loved to cuddle. The warmth of her body made him feel very comfortable. Hugging her always reduced his mental exhaustion.

After the others left, neither Julia nor Aditya said anything. Both of them enjoyed hugging each other and feeling each other’s warmth. After a while, Julia moved her right arm which to his right shoulder. As she moved her right arm, she found herself touching something wet.

Lifting her head from his chest, the goddess of Alchemy widened her eyes in trepidation seeing the wound on his right shoulder. Upon a closer look, the wound appeared to be a hole. As if someone had made a hole in his right shoulder. She noticed the Crimson Dragon Scales around the hole had melted.

“How did you get hurt?” Tears formed in her eyes as she looked at the wound on his right shoulder. Never in her life, Julia has ever seen such a strange wound. It is almost as if someone had poured lava on his right shoulder except for the fact that Aditya is not affected by lava due to his bloodline. So the substance or the attack that has harm like this should be extremely powerful and dangerous.

“First calm down. It’s nothing serious.” This is why Aditya didn’t tell her about his wounds as he knew she would panic.

“Do you honestly think I can calm down after seeing something like this? What exactly happened?” Julia’s eyes turned red.

“While I was fighting the inner-group members of the organization, one of them managed to use a small trick to put a special kind of poison on my right shoulder. According to what he said, this poison was developed by Dragon slayers of the old generation to especially kill Dragons. He said that not even a Heavenly Dragon would have been able to withstand this poison. The only reason that I am alive is because of my Divine Dragon Bloodline. But as time passes, the poison would corrode my body from the inside out and will kill me.”

“What!!!!!!” Julia felt the world around her collapse on hearing Aditya’s words.

“Come with me. I will try to make an antidote for this poison.” Aditya let himself be dragged by Julia. What he hasn’t told her was that his base stats has been decreased by 50%. Aditya feared that with time, this would only increase.

As Julia dragged Aditya to the teleportation array, Watson was on his way to meet Aditya after putting Ivan in the prison. “Your Majesty, are you going somewhere?”

“Our Majesty has been poisoned which is made by dragon slayers. And now with each passing second, he is slowly dying.” Julia angrily replied before walking up to the teleportation circle with Aditya.

“What?!!!!!?” Watson felt as if someone had dropped a bomb on his head. For a moment he even wondered if Lady Julia was joking but the serious look on her face convinced him that she was telling the truth.

“Your majesty, is this true?” Aditya did not reply. He instantly removed the Leather armor that he was wearing. At the same time, the 9 circles of the teleportation lit up.

Watson nearly fainted seeing the blue vines around Aditya’s right shoulder and above his right chest. “Watson, you keep a watch of both Empires. Inform me immediately if any changes take place. Also, the white Dragon Emperor has been killed. I will tell you everything later.”

“Your Majesty, currently this is not important as your health.” Julia also felt like smacking this guy’s head for being concerned about both Empires when he was dying. You should be more worried about your own health.

The next moment, Julia and Aditya teleported back to the Istarin Empire. Watson sighed feeling depressed. Hearing what happened to Aditya he felt sad and very depressed.

A moment after Aditya and Julia had left, Amber found Watson and asked. “Where is his Majesty? I can’t sense his Aura in the castle.”

“His Majesty and lady Julia has returned to Azure City. Let’s give them some time alone.” Watson decided to lie and not reveal Aditya’s condition to anyone. If the word got leaked then it might cause panic in the Istarin Empire and also some foreign forces might attack the Istarin Empire using this chance.

Scene Change___

After returning to the Istarin Empire’s Royal Castle, Julia bought Aditya into her laboratory which now had expanded after the entire castle was renovated a few months ago. In the laboratory, Aditya found Paige working on making some potions.

“Your majesty, welcome back.” As usual, there were no emotions on Paige’s face. Even when she met and bowed to the Emperor.

“Big sister, I will need your help to remove the poison from Aditya’s body.” Paige carefully looked and found blue vines on Aditya’s right shoulder and the area above his right chest.

“Aditya, you lay down.” Aditya helplessly smiled and nodded. His wife had entered into her doctor mode. In this mode, no matter what tells her, she won’t listen. Aditya can only do what she tells him to do.

Julia then took out a paper and pen. “Aditya, tell me how much of the poison managed to enter your body?”

“Just one drop.”

Julia was surprised once again. She didn’t know what would happen to Aditya if more of that poison entered his body. “By the way, where have been this whole time? Why didn’t you return immediately after being affected by the poison?” Julia sounded slightly angry.

“Wife, somehow I ended up being in the middle of an Ocean which was far from any land. Having no other choice, I had to keep flying for hours before I found one of the islands of the Westnia continent. Using the teleportation array, I managed to return home.” Aditya could have returned home much faster. But with his base stats being reduced by 50%, he moved very slowly. Also, Aditya didn’t waste his mana on using his skills to increase his agility fearing that he would be attacked on his way.

Sigh!

“Alright lay down. I will have to check what sort of poison is this. But for now, take this pill. This pill should slow down the poison spreading speed and give us more time.” Aditya was given a red color viny bead-size pill that ate immediately.

After he ate the pill, Aditya felt slightly relieved. He felt his body cool down. The constant pain in his right shoulder also seems to have lessened.

And thus, his wife began to study the poison for the rest of the day. Aditya wasn’t allowed to leave the laboratory no matter what.
