Dragon King's Harem Chapter 320. Lizard And Dragon IV
The Baron, caught off guard by my accusation, fired back with predictable denial. "Liar! Do you think a noble like me would be tempted by a pair of commoner women like your wives? Know your place, peasant!" His tone dripped with condescension.
Al interjected with a sudden sharpness. "Wait a minute," he said, fixing the Baron with a gaze that could cut through steel. "You were trying to steal a Wyvern's egg? That is a big crime," he declared.
Viperax cleared his throat to rein in the escalating tension. "Let's go back to the main problem, shall we?" he stated in a tone that brooked no argument. "The main problem here is that your tribe has disturbed my innocent Baron. Even almost killed him. I can't forgive that and demand his life instead. No, I demand their lives. All of them are his gang, after all," he declared, pointing a scaled finger at us.
Al jumped in with a pointed question. "So, you are going to discuss their mistakes without caring about what your Baron has done?" His tone held a firmness.
Viperax chuckled with a certain disdain. His laughter filled the air before he outright guffawed. "About the stolen wyvern's egg? He doesn't even have proof," he declared once the laughter subsided, a finger pointed in my direction as if I were the jester in his royal court.
I shot back with a resolve. "We are the witnesses. It was him who attacked me first," I asserted.
Viperax narrowed his lizard eyes at me. "Once again, where is the proof? If there's no evidence, then I cannot accept your accusation. Do you think I will just believe what you say?" he questioned, his skepticism dripping from every word like venom.@@novelbin@@
Al decided to expose the double standards at play. "But your Baron also has no proof, Your Majesty. And you believe what he said," Al pointed out.
Viperax's gaze shifted to Al. "He is different. He wouldn't lie. He is loyal to me," Viperax stated.
Not one to be overshadowed, I jumped into the verbal fray. "I also don't lie," I declared with a firmness.
The Baron interjected with a dose of noble disdain. "I'm a noble. Not a lowly commoner like you," he spat out, pointing at me.
Al cut to the heart of the matter. "So the problem is the status? Am I right?" he asked with a subtle smirk.
Eir held back his anger. Viperax's blurred judgment favored only the lizard folk and those with tribal status. It was a system that fueled frustration and resentment in those who were deemed less by birthright.
"Loyalty. My innocent Baron showed me that," Viperax declared, his voice dripping with a conviction that bordered on fanaticism. Once again, his gaze fixed on me, a silent accusation in his lizard eyes. "While this man doesn't even understand that he has to lower his head in front of a king," he added.
A mocking smirk curled on my lips, refusing to be stifled. "Innocent Baron, huh? You've said that twice, and I'm disgusted to hear it, Viperax," I hissed with a tone laced with displeasure.
Viperax, seemingly incensed by my audacity, gritted his teeth in annoyance. "How dare you call my name!" he bellowed.
Unable to contain his anger, he opened his massive jaws wide, and from the abyss within, he unleashed a torrent of searing flames. The fire, a skill mastered to mimic the dragons, roared forward, hungry and wild, aiming to consume everything in its path.
In response, without so much as a flicker of movement, I summoned my Mana Barrier. The air shimmered as an invisible forcefield materialized before me. The transparent shield stood resolute against the approaching inferno. It wasn't just for my protection but extended its embrace to envelop those in our midst, including Al and my loyal soldiers.
The flames collided with the barrier, dancing and writhing against the ethereal wall of protection. A war of elements unfolded before our eyes, the furious blaze attempting to breach the steadfast defense of my Mana Barrier. The air crackled with the collision of power.
With the echoes of crackling flames dissipating into the oasis air, Viperax, his lizard eyes narrowed, shot me a piercing glare. "Who are you?" he demanded. His lizard eyes narrowed, probably expecting me to be a commoner who shouldn't have the chops to counter his fiery skills.
