I Have Seven Dragon Souls In a cultivation world
Chapter 138 - The Broken DollIt's just that I was so eager to see this legendary New Dragon Son up close I seemed to have overstepped my boundaries."
"I just feel it's important that I eventually meet you," said Hendrix
"As the Dragon Son of War, you represent the future of the Vaenam Kingdom's military.
I wouldn't be able to rest, haven't even met such an important future figure yet," said Hendrix with a firm gaze
But if your talent is anything to base your future off, then there is no need to be worried in the slightest."
"Well, let me not keep you here any longer." said Hendrix
"Today is about you and princess Levina after all"
As Hendrix said this, he lightly pushed him, urging him forward.
As Dante was walking forward, he turned to look back at Vincent and Jarred.
As he looked back, he could only see them nod at him, urging him on.
Taking a deep breath, Dante collected himself and stepped forward, heading deeper into the giant hall.
After just a few steps, Dante was already in front of the stairs that lead up to a typical ornate throne.
The princess had just been sitting there quietly, watching over the talks that just happened with a stony face.
Dante looked up and for the first time since he entered, the room got a close up proper look at the princess.
She was wearing a deep purple robe with long sky blue hair flowed down her back.
Despite all this, what grabbed Dante's attention the most was the strange mask on her face.
Dante could only describe it as one similar to the ballroom masks seen in his previous life.
It was an exquisitely designed silver mask that covered all the right side of her face, reaching so far as to even cover her nose.
The side of her face that was covered by the mask only ended up leaving space for her right eye and mouth.
As Dante looked at her mask, his attention was eventually grabbed by her eyes.
But to his surprise, He found the signature violet eyes that usually burned with royal pride and vigour were seemingly devoid of any possible emotion.
No interest, no pleasure.
simply a lifeless stare that peered straight at him.
Faced with her uncomfortable gaze, Dante didn't stare for long and quickly averted his gaze.
Afterwards, Dante took a light bow as he introduced himself introduced himself.
"It's a pleasure to meet princess Levina. I'm sure you know this already, but my name is Dante Kinsman of the Kinsman Clan."
"I must say, I've heard rumours of your highness's beauty, but it's possible for the words to do you any justice"
hearing Dante's words,Princess Levina covered her mouth as she smiled
"You've got quite the sweet tongue for such a little boy."
Dante just put on a warm smile as he replied,
"while it may seem like pointless flattery, in my opinion, it really is the best way to describe my view right now-"
but suddenly, as Dante was speaking, Princess Levina cut him off.
"I've heard many stories about the pride of the Dragon Son of War, with it being so bad that the Dragon Son was even fearless enough to fight a prince of the Kingdom on his first day at the Hidden Dragon Academy."
As Princess Levina was saying this, a taunting smile swept across her face
"I just can't help but wonder. if you find it humiliating to be begging and grovelling in front of me right now."
hearing this, Dante's body lightly shook as he subconsciously asked,
"Pardon?"
"You heard what I asked. I asked if it hurts the pride of our mighty Dragon son to be here begging a princess for their hand in marriage?"
As soon as Princess Levina said those words, the air in the room quickly froze.
The temperature in the room seemed to drop a few degrees.
slowly the flattering smile on Dante's face soon morphed into an ice cold frown
"Hahaha! There it is!" laughed Levina
"The pride of our little Dragon Son of war!"
As Levina said this, she slowly walked down her steps, standing right before Dante and standing right before him.
Dante just watched on with a bone chilling expression, But Levina didn't seem to care in the slightest.
Staring up into his face with a wide smile on her face yet somehow her bright Violet eyes still managed to remain as emotionless and dead as ever!
"Has anyone ever told you, you have too much confidence for a mere peasant!"
Dante wasn't even offended by Levina's words and just sneered as he responded,
"such a twisted personality. You really do live up to your title of, 'the broken doll' of Royal Family!"
Hearing Dante's words, Jarred's old heart almost stopped got beating!
The boy really had done it this time!
To dare insult the princess in front of her own Grandfather and legendary general, Hendrix Invidus!
It seemed like Jarred really had to teach this boy a lesson today!
His title of Dragon Son had really gone to his head!
But just before Jarred could go up and stop Dante, he suddenly felt an arm on his shoulder.
looking back, Jarred was shocked to see the person holding him back was none other than Hendrix!
"Leave them alone." Said Hendrix.
"They are not Kids anymore. it'll be better if Let them sort it out themselves."
As Hendrix was speaking, a slight smile appeared on his face
"Besides, don't you also find it more interesting that way?"
Helpless, Jarred could only sit back down and watch the show but unfortunately for Jarred, Dante wasn't even done speaking yet.
"Besides, My Princess, you seem to be getting a few things confused.
Please don't mistake my courtesy for begging.
We both know you stand to benefit from this marriage as much as I am.
Your younger brother, Lloyd Vaenam.
As the oldest son of the King, not only does he have the backing of the more traditional ministers, he also has the position of the Dragon Son of Governance, granting him the backing of the Hidden Dragon Academy."
as Dante was speaking, a cold sneer crept onto his face.
"Even with the backing of a living legend like Minister Hendrix, you're already fighting an uphill battle.
If you want even the slightest hope of becoming the future queen, you can't afford to let Lloyd control the people in the Hidden Dragon Academy. You need allies in the academy," Explained Dante
"Or More correctly, you need me."
as Dante said this,
"Clap! Clap!"
listening in on Dante's speech, Levina couldn't help but applaud.
"I'm impressed. You seem to have a clear understanding of my situation, but aren't you forgetting your own problems?"
In such a short time, you've managed to get into a conflict with not one but two Royal princes."
"In such a short time, your outlandish temper and personality have caused you to get into a conflict with not one but two Royal princes."
"Rumour has even spread that your position of Dragon Son has made you fearless and hold no respect for Royal power. If this is not true, then why would you have already fought 2 princes?"
"But to make matters worse for you Dante, there are even some outlandish rumours about you surfacing that you say you wouldn't even bow down to the King if he was in front of you!"
As soon as Dante heard this, his face quickly changed into an ugly grimace.
The allegations Levina brought before him were no joke!
disregard of the sovereignty was a crime only punishable by death.
Such rumours were truly malicious!
If Dante's enemies could somehow provide evidence for these statements, it would only take days before Dante was sent to the gallows.
Don't be blinded by the apparent power of the Hidden Dragon Academy. The real ruler of the Vaenam Kingdom is and always will be the Vaenam Royal family.
after all, the purpose of the Academy is to train loyal servants for the Royal Family in first place.
It wouldn't make sense for the Royal family, if they couldn't even control an organisation that was meant to support them
It's okay to disrespect a prince, but even the title of a Dragon Son won't save Dante from the crime of disrespecting the King!
'Lloyd Vaenam'
Looking at the news in front of him, Dante didn't even have to think long
