Dragon King's Harem Chapter 347. Hard Diplomatic Attempt

I realized that there was little I could do other than offer moral support to Evelina and her team of healers. 

With a heavy sigh, I made the decision to step back and allow them to focus on their tasks without my interference.

Just as I turned to leave, Jyne's voice called out to me from behind. 

"Wait for me," she said, hurrying to catch up with me.

I glanced back at her in surprise. "Don't you want to help Evelina?" I asked her, curious about her sudden change of plans.

Jyne shook her head, her expression somber. 

"I'm not really a fan of places like this," she confessed, her voice tinged with discomfort. 

"It just feels... desperate, you know? And I don't really know much about healing," she admitted, her tone reflecting her unease.

I nodded understandingly. 

"I understand," I reassured her, offering her a sympathetic smile. "You don't have to stay if you're uncomfortable," I added, gesturing for her to follow me as I continued towards the exit.

With a relieved sigh, Jyne fell into step beside me.

Once Jyne and I stepped out of the healing tent, we were greeted by the crisp air of the camp. We decided to make our way towards Eir's post at the front line of the area.

I quickly noticed that he hadn't moved from his spot. His stance was firm, his gaze fixed on the horizon. 

The dragon soldiers had returned to their posts, but something felt different. I strained my ears and soon detected the distant sound of wyverns, their powerful wings beating against the air as they soared overhead. 

I guessed Eir sent a couple of them to spy on the convoy and make sure they had no intention of attacking the camp.

“Your Majesty,” Eir greeted me with a respectful bow as I approached him at the front line of the area.

“How’s the situation?” I inquired, cutting straight to the chase.

“They haven't made any suspicious moves, and I hope not,” Eir replied.

I nodded thoughtfully. “But I hope they do something,” I remarked nonchalantly, prompting a puzzled expression from Eir.

“Why?” he questioned.

I met his gaze with a cold, steely resolve. 

“Cause I need a good reason to kill them,” I replied bluntly.

That sentence made both Eir and Jyne look at me in confusion. 

I could see the furrowed brows and quizzical expressions on their faces. It was understandable, considering I had been the one advocating for a diplomatic resolution. Hard diplomatic attempt to be exact. Yet here I was, saying words that seemed to contradict my earlier stance.

"After seeing what happened to those prisoners, it seems like what I did earlier was still not enough," I admitted with a heavy sigh. 

The truth was, any aggressive move on my part would likely escalate into all-out war. Viperax had a crown prince waiting in the wings, just as corrupt and ruthless as his father. And the atrocities I witnessed at the factory were just the tip of the iceberg; many innocent members of the lizard tribe had also fallen victim to Viperax's rule.

Complicating matters further was the fact that the lizard tribe could not be easily led by dragons. 

Unlike the situation with the orc tribe, where the royal twins offered some hope of change, the lizard tribe's future seemed bleak without Viperax's lineage leading them. Destroying him and his line would effectively leave the lizard tribe without territory or leadership.

"You mean… you are planning to wage a war with them?" he asked, his tone tinged with apprehension.

I shook my head slowly. 

"No, Eir," I replied, my voice heavy with resignation. "As the dragon king, my duty extends beyond mere protection of my tribe," I explained, my words carrying a hint of melancholy.

It wasn't just a matter of asserting dominance or seeking revenge; any decision I made had far-reaching consequences, both for my own people and for the broader world. 

War was not a solution I could pursue lightly. The countless lives hung in the balance, and every choice I made had the power to shape the course of history.
