I, The Dragon Overlord - Chapter 544
Chapter 544 – Sisters
The bronze dragon quickly stopped in its tracks upon noticing the arrival of a new trespasser into its territory. From its acute senses, it could make out that the new intruder was a dragon like itself. In total honesty, the bronze dragon wasn’t serious about killing the adventurers and was simply chasing them to have some fun. But with the arrival of another, more dangerous factor lay the possibility of a serious challenge for its territory.
Dragons were highly territorial creatures. They would attack all other dragons that intruded into their territory unless they were their mates.
‘It took me great pains to find this great place, I can’t let others take it from me.’
It quickly turned its attention to the approaching dragon.
Those fleeing adventurers also stopped in their tracks. The entire area instantly went silent as everyone waited with bated breath for the new dragon to appear.
Soon, a beautiful silver dragon appeared in the distant sky. The sound of the dragon’s wings and the pervasive might that it spread out caused all other creatures in the area to tremble.
“It’s a silver dragon?”
Seeing this, the bronze dragon was relieved. Silver dragons did not live in hilly areas. In other words, this dragon did not come to fight over territory with it. Its eyes quickly glistened, and it began to drool. It looked at the silver dragon in the sky and praised, “Oh Dragon God above! What a beautiful lady this is. Could it be that this is your will, that you have given me a trial to begin a love affair here!”
Agnes landed in front of the bronze dragon bearing a humanoid figure aloft on her back. Just as the bronze dragon was about to get angry at the sight of a silver dragon being mounted by a humanoid, it noticed that the female on its back carried the aura of the Dragon God. In an instant, this dragon was anxious and doubtful.
“Your Highness Holy Maiden!”
The Church of the Dragon god’s priest kneeled excitedly after seeing Aurora. Along with him, other adventurers who were also from the Subila Kingdom knelt in front of Aurora, not because of her identity as the Holy Maiden of the Dragon God Church, but because of her status as the princess.
As for the others, they froze in place as they looked at her. Even the female adventurers felt ashamed of themselves in front of her.
Several men had stupid thoughts as they thought about the hottest novel sold all over the main continent. This novel originated from Dragon City and was sung by bards all over the continent.
The novel tells about a loser who gained the favor of a great existence and married a rich woman. This was an otherworldly version of the story, Dragon Proud Sky. These kinds of stories were now the latest trend in the whole of San Soliel, and many bards were adding their own parts to the story.
In these novels, Aurora would be the beautiful noble girl, and usually, harems existed for the protagonist in the story. Meeting this Holy Maiden in these dangerous hills naturally made these men have wayward thoughts.
But soon, the silver dragon’s fearsome might erupted, causing them to fearfully lower their heads.
But the elf maiden named Latynina cautiously asked this time, “Your Highness Aurora Abel Subila?”
“Hmm?”
Aurora obviously did not expect someone to start a conversation with her. She took a look at this elven scout and frowned slightly, “I am none other than Aurora. I never thought I would meet an elven noble here.”
Every race was a topic of study because they each possessed their own uniqueness. The average person would not be able to tell apart elven nobles and ordinary elves, but Aurora had studied up on this, so from the pendants on the elf, she was able to instantly recognize her identity.
The other adventurers looked at Latynina with surprise. Even now, it was very rare to see elves outside of the Dragon Kingdom and Silver Moon Kingdom, let alone elven nobility which was even rarer. It was even more strange because this elven noble had joined a common adventurer party.
Latynina sighed and respectfully greeted, “I am a noble of the Dragon Kingdom. The reason why I left the Dragon Kingdom to come here to join an adventurer party is to prepare for my legendary rank promotion… Your Highness Aurora, I have the honor of meeting you here. Her Majesty Alexia had once talked about you and expressed her wishes to meet with you, her sister.”
Aurora who had been holding a haughty and elegant yet gentle smile gradually turned colder at the mention of the name ‘Alexia’.
In her twenty-one years of life, Alexia’s name was like a nightmare. The two should have had sisterly love for each other, but Aurora had only envy and a slight inferiority complex toward Alexia.
Alexia was the child of the Dragon god and the Silver Moon Goddess, a true child of gods, favored by two supreme gods. On the other hand, she was also the child of the Dragon God, but she was more like the child of a concubine and her bloodline was a hybrid of human and god which was a step below Alexia.
Perhaps because of this, her Father God, one of the strongest gods in the world, almost never paid attention to her, other than giving her the status of the Holy Maiden of the Dragon God Church as well as the power that the bloodline carried. However, it could be said that Aurora simply never had a father’s love.
She did not resent her Father God as she was also considered a believer of the Dragon god. Believers could never resent their own gods, but Aurora would wallow in self-pity when she was alone. She would also grieve, long for her father, and feel envious that Alexia could communicate with her father at any time.
That was right. In the whole continent, everyone knew about Queen Alexia who was the ruler of the Dragon Kingdom and the Silver Moon Kingdom. She was like a chosen saint by the Dragon God and the Silver Moon Goddess. She could also communicate with the gods and borrow their power anytime and anywhere. She could be called a true chosen one.
Aurora had been completely eclipsed by her sister’s achievements. She had once led the army of Dragon City to capture two countries of the Seven Kingdom Alliance and established the Dragon Kingdom. She had also once led the elves of the Silver Moon Kingdom to drive back the monsters and the drow elves back to their territory. It could be said that on the mortal plane, Alexia’s name was praised highly, even among the gods.
Thinking of her sister, Aurora’s inferiority complex flared up. This Holy Maiden pretended not to pay attention to the elf and looked at the bronze dragon in front of her and chided him with an austere and noble voice, “Dragon, state your reason for coming here! The nearby capital of the Subila Kingdom is the territory of the silver dragon Agnes. You are staying adjacent to the territory of the silver dragon, if you can not say clearly your intentions, Agnes and I will have to expel you!”
