Dragon King's Harem Chapter 34. Battle Noises
Meanwhile outside the Ancestral Chamber, Eir and the guards waited anxiously. Their eyes locked on the large door before them, hoping that it would open soon and their king would come out of it. This was the first time this problem occurred, the first time a Dragon King had to enter there before his time, also the first time they had heard ruckus noises from there. Although the noises sounded faint, it was clearly the sound of a battle and it had lasted for almost half an hour. Their worry and curiosity grew over time because no one should have been there but Argod. Therefore they were quite confused about who the king was fighting with. Unfortunately, no one could approach the door since the huge energy that protected it. There was nothing they could do but wait.
'What's going on inside? Why His Majesty hasn't come out yet? ' thought Eir, he stepped back and forth in front of the room as he couldn't hide his restlessness. His heart was pounding violently and bad thoughts rushed through his head, though he had tried to calm himself down, especially after he heard those noises. What if the king was trapped inside? What if the king was badly injured from calming the energy? What would happen to Draconis if they lose Argod?
As time passed and Eir's worries grew, they could faintly hear the scream of pain from within. Eir stopped his steps and turned to the door, as well as the others since they were all sure that it was Argod's voice.
"Your Majesty!" Without a second thought, Eir charged at the door. His hand touched the Draconis crest on the door as he tried to open it, but a great force threw him away in an instant. No, not only Eir but also the guards around him just because of the impact.
'Skin Armor 30%!' A dragon knight's black armour covered Eir's torso just as his back crashed into a pillar behind him, protecting him from the impact. While the others fell scattered on the floor, just like Eir they also activated their 'Skin Armor' to protect themselves from impact. Eir stood up and gritted his teeth, his feet stepped towards the door once again and his hand stretched forward, preparing to blast the door with his skill. Even if he was going to get his death sentence for this, he didn't care, because for him what was important was Argod's safety.
'Fire Bolt!' A small magic formation glowed in red appeared in front of his hand, dozens of short fire spikes emerged from there and shot towards the door. At the same time, the door before him opened.

I took another deep breath to calm myself and put on my formal expression despite my fatigue before exiting the room. I knew I had reached my limit and needed to get some rest, but as a dragon king, I couldn't show my weakness nor my tiredness. I had to stay strong and stand straight like a pillar that no one could destroy.
As the door in front of me opened, I was greeted by dozens of fire spikes that shot toward me and followed by Eir's voice.
"Your Majesty, look out!" he shouted in panic, his face turning pale in an instant. He knew I wouldn't be able to withstand his Fire Bolt with my Mana Barrier. But rather than panicking, I smirked as I focused my concentration on the fire spikes in front of me.
'Telekinetic!' Without moving a muscle, in an instant, all of Eir's Fire Bolt stopped the mid-air.
[ 30 Fire Bolts are in your control. ]
They were petrified in surprise to see me, especially Eir. I frowned in confusion since they wore their Skin Armor. Also displeased with that Fire Bolt.
"What's going on?" I asked. I tried to detect the enemies around me with my Dragon Vision since I saw their state as if they were ready to fight but there was none of it.
They immediately knelt to me in guilt including Eir. At the same time, Eir's fire spikes and the armour covering their bodies disappeared.
[Eiron Magus Qiendum has cancelled his Fire Bolt.]
"Forgive me, Your Majesty. I heard your scream. I thought you were in danger so I decided to break in," said Eir guiltily.
That explained why he used his Fire Bolt. I understood their concern, but still... attacking the Ancestral Chamber was a foolish act. I knew they were the ones who would be destroyed if they forced their way in because my twelve ancestors' power was guarding this room.
"This is my Ancestral Chamber, their energy will not hurt me," I tried to calm them down.
"I am willing to accept my punishment, Your Majesty," said Eir as he lowered his head.
I raised my hand and moved my index finger forward a bit as I used my telekinetic one more time to close the door behind me. A tired breath escaped from my mouth.
"I will not punish you for this. But I hope you don't repeat your stupid actions. Or they will destroy your body into pieces before you can get inside the room," I warned.
Eir gulped hard. He realized he was so close to his death, but he couldn't help himself since he was so worried about the king.
"I understand, Your Majesty."
"Very well." I waved my hand up, ordering them to get up and they followed my orders. Eir's attention immediately shifted on my torn sleeve.
"I'll take a rest," I said. I walked to my room and they followed me.
As I stepped my feet on that corridor, I noticed that my hands were starting to tremble. But I quickly clenched it to avoid anyone being aware of my current condition. Though I could use my stamina potions, since I hadn't slept since last night and my mana points were low, I decided to rest instead of taking another bottle of it. Besides, I had to save my potion limit for my trip since I used it 3 times last night.
"Pardon me, Your Majesty." Eir's voice came from my side.
"What is it?" I said without turning my gaze at him.
"Is your arm okay?" asked Eir in hesitation. He knew he'd just made a mistake because of his worries but at least he wanted to make sure Argod was okay.
"I'm fine. The energy only tore my shirt, but didn't hurt me," I explained calmly.
"I understand, Your Majesty," said Eir. Even though there were many questions in his head, especially regarding Argod's scream that he heard earlier, Eir decided to keep his mouth shut.
As soon as I arrived in front of my chamber Evelina and Sela were waiting for me in front of it.
"Your Majesty," they greeted me and bowed.
"What are you doing here?" I asked as I continued to maintain my composure, though my consciousness was getting dimmer. My mind felt blank and I couldn't think of anything but lay myself down on my bed.
"I just want to make sure you are all right, Your Majesty," said Evelina. Previously she knew Argod was in pain for no reason, so she decided to wait for him here to check and treat him if he needed it. Since Sela also caught something wrong with Argod earlier, she also decided to go with Evelina.
"Fine." I waved my hand backwards, asking the other guards to back off.
"Come with me," I ordered to Eir, Evelina and Sela. I barely maintained my consciousness, so I didn't want to waste my time nor discuss my condition outside my room. Especially since I was sure Evelina and Sela had also noticed my torn sleeve.
After we entered, Eir closed the door. While Evelina asked me.
"Your Majesty, let me examine you."
Meanwhile, without further ado, I took off my boots, gloves and my blazer and tossed it nonchalantly. My head felt heavy and my body screamed for some rest.
"Go ahead," I said as my feet stepped toward my bed.
"Your Majesty, what happened to you?" Sela asked in confusion since she realized my unusual condition.
But instead of answering her, I gave my orders to Eir.
"Eir, wake me up at noon." My hands released my ascot and unbuttoned my shirt. Then without further ado, I fell onto the bed.
After that, I could hear Eir, Evelina and Sela's voices who were calling me in worry but I couldn't resist my drowsiness anymore and fell asleep immediately.
