Chapter 118: Chapter 118. Accepting The Challenge...
Since Adult Dragon is not something that low-level scum like Claude dares to mess with, that is why they deal with a dragon who is still young.
Yes, they deal with young dragons, technically a baby dragon if we look at the ageing prosses of dragons who live a very-very long life.
And most ironic thing is that dragons have very high affection for their children more than humans as it is not easy for dragons to reproduce so for them every child is very precious, and if someone dares to come near them they immediately burn those guys to death. So people rather fight an adult dragon than mess with their children.
Nobody knows how the idiot noble Claude got his hands on a young dragon. However one thing is clear since he steals a dragon child then that child's parents will come searching for it, and when they come things defiantly get out of hand. The dragon will angrily attack the city where they will find their child.
Thousands of people lose their life without even knowing what they did wrong, and the sarcastic thing is that they did nothing wrong.
"Is this information true?" Sylphy frowned and asked Lewis.
"As of now, I can only say "probably". It's secret information from a trustworthy slave dealer, so it is most probably true. However, it still cannot be proved. Since nobody knows whether it's true or not without proper proof, the influential nobles in each town cannot use their power. If it turns out to be false, it won't end with Fathe apologising.
That's why we are now desperately collecting evidence," Lewis said while rubbing his forehead worriedly.
Well, seem like this information is most like true since they are trying everything to collect evidence. Without proof, they can't take action against that individual who is seeking his own death by kidnapping a dragon child. But I still don't understand what this dragon kidnapping case has anything to with Sylphy's Father accepting Claude's challenge proposal, Myne thought with a frown.
"Umm, but how is this matter connected to the game??" Sylphy asked the question which bothered Myne as if she read his mind.
Lewis nodded his head and started his explanation, "According to the information, the suspects of this uproar on the dragon are exactly the same as those who raised an objection against you and brother-in-law's wedding and proposed the game. The game's details were checked carefully, a lot of evidence was collected, and they've ascertained that this entire game is full of unfairness."
"They appealed to Father and raised an objection to the marriage Father has already decided and will commit injustice with the game which will be held. If this comes to light, there's no doubt they will be restricted. Whatever the reason is, it will be possible to distract us with this whole dragon matter if they feel that they are getting restricted.
Father thought about this and approved without giving his promise."
"I see, so that means Father wants us to accept this game, huh? Good grief, what does he take our marriage as?" Sylphy asked loudly nearly exploding from anger. And this is also not her fault, anyone with the right mind would be angry if they find out that their own Father using them behind their back to catch kidnappers for the greater good.
After hearing the entire story even Aisha and Myne also felt what Sylphy's Father did is too much, using his own daughters to catch some f*cker who kidnaps a young dragon is not something a normal father would do.
Just how much does a man have to be cold blood to come up with such a nonsense plan? I hope I never become someone like Sylphy's Father, Myne thought while wiping cold sweat from his forehead. Today he learn a very important lesson, never mess with a guy who rules an entire kingdom, who knows when he lose his mind and do something which you would never expect to f*cked up your entire life.
"By the way, I have a question. No matter how stupid they are, there's no way they didn't think of the possibility that an adult dragon will come to get its child back, right?" Myne asked to change the topic, he didn't want to see Sylphy in a bad mood because of her Father's decision.
"We still don't know whether it's true or not, since it's something we heard from a slave dealer, although we know that since he himself reports everything to us about this matter, so there is a high possibility that what he said is true but still without real proof, we can't take any real action," Lewis said while shaking his head.
"Also, It seems that they have decided to sell it off to a neighbouring country before things get out of hand. There's the rumour about the Country of Demons attacking, and an enslaved dragon would increase their war potential, so there is a high chance that they buy it without caring about adult dragon rage.
And if they really sold it, the adult dragon will not come to our country, and those guys will easily save their asses."
Now if I look at this entire matter logically then this can be said a master plan. If I were really a normal person as the guy with the young dragon might be thinking, then not only he can easily win this challenge and get Sylphy in his arm, but he can also make a high profit selling the dragon to the enemy country.
I have to say whoever comes up with this plan really deserves a medal, Myne thought while rubbing his chin with one hand, and patting lightly on Sylphy's golden head with another to calm her down
"I see, they're more of a low-life than I imagined... Something like this done by our kingdom's influential nobles, pathetic, we should just take back their noble rights and throw them out of the kingdom," Sylphy spoke gritting her teeth, clearly this time Myne's pat is not enough to calm her raising rage.
"Well, that's the story, Big Sis. I'm sorry but won't you accept the proposal? Of course, there's no way your marriage will be cancelled if you were to lose. But as far as I know, there's no way Brother-in-law would lose to them, so we don't have to worry, "Lewis said with a smile with a hidden meaning in it while looking at Myne.
Huh? Myne raise his eyebrow as he felt like something is wrong with the way Lewis looked at him, but he didn't think too much about it, as he was still thinking wherever he should sell the monster's bodies pile in his Inventory to Lewis or not.
"Lord Husband, sorry, but that's how it is. Should we accept it?" Sylphy turn back face to face Myne and asked apologetically.
"Well, if you give me a cute smile and promise to not use the 'Sorry' word again for next entire week then I don't mind kicking some basterds ass who dares to have some bad thoughts about my sweet wife," Myne replies with a smile while putting his arm around her neck and hugging her lightly.
"Hehehe, this is what I expected from you, and I promise I wouldn't use the 'Sorry' word again," Sylphy said with a happy smile, enjoying Myne's warm hug.
"But you already use that," Myne said and flick her forehead lightly.
"Oops, my mistake," Sylphy hurriedly spoke and after putting her arm around Myne's neck, she tightly hug him and give a deep kiss on his lips as an apology.
"Cough, hello guys, maybe you forget but I am still here, can't you do this lovey-dovey thing later? I am feeling very awkward seeing you like this," Lewis said blushingly clearly even though he is very intelligent and rich as hell but at the end of the end he is still a young virgin boy.
"Hahaha, okay, if you say so," Saying such Sylphy hurriedly escape from Myne's hug with a red face, as this was the first time she shows her carefree and perverted side in front of someone else other than Myne and Aisha.
Myne just smile seeing Sylphy blushing from shyness, he then look at Lewis and asked calmly, "So what should we have to do in the game those guys mentioned?"
As he said that, Sylphy quickly picked up the letter she received from Claude from the trash can, although she had already read the letter but that time because of anger she just give a quick glance before throwing it away, so is also not very clear about the contents inside it.
"Let's just check the contents for now. In any case, it's worthless," Sylphy said causally while waving the letter in her hand.
"No, actually the contents are unexpectedly decent," Lewis, who already heard about the summary in the capital, answered with a frown.
