Under the night sky, the castle in the king's city was still brightly lit.
Armored guards with weapons in their hands were patrolling the perimeter of the castle. Maids and female servants were helping the members of the royal family to wash up and sleep.
The lights that were powered by magic were flickering, releasing light that was similar to incandescent lamps, illuminating half of the castle.
Ryuga sneaked past the city wall and the guards and entered the castle.
Following which, he learned about the king's palace from a maid. After erasing her memory, he immediately sneaked towards the room of King Ottocray Melomag the 32nd.
The king's room was located on the top floor of the castle. It was one of the most luxurious rooms in the entire castle.
The floor was covered with a thick red carpet, the bed was covered with white silk sheets, and the crystal table lamp was releasing light. The floor mirror, cupboard, and so on were also mounted with golden edges, showing a sense of luxury that was different from the commoners.
Because of the widespread existence of magic in this world, there were also some tools that were made with magic principles.
For example, when the wave happened, Agrid used the magic phone to ask for help from the palace, and the magic lamps that were spread all over the palace at this moment, and so on, all operated with magic principles.
However, because they all relied on magic to operate, most of these magic tools could only be used by the nobles.
Especially the magic phone, it needed to be set up with a special device to operate. It could only be placed in the castle to be used, so even in the entire Meromag Kingdom, only a few nobles could use it.
By the way, the magic phone device was very large and couldn't be carried around. So even if the royal family went out, they could only use pigeons to communicate.
"Bang!"
In the room, the king fiercely punched the cupboard. His face was extremely gloomy.
Shame.
It was a great humiliation.
He was the king of a country, but he didn't get any respect. Instead, he was scared to the point that he bowed his head. He lost all his dignity and didn't have any face.
But he couldn't do anything about it. He could only sulk in secret.
An adult pure-blood dragon species was too terrifying.
Not only were they gigantic in size, but their Attack Power and Defense were also incomparably astonishing. Moreover, they could use the extremely powerful Dragon Breath.
Furthermore, some of the more powerful pure-blooded dragon species even possessed the ability to use magic. They could even chant high-level magic as soon as they opened their mouth.
He was ridiculously powerful.
An adult pure-blood dragon was enough to intimidate a country.
If it was a more powerful pure-blooded dragon species, it could even destroy a country.
The pureblood dragon species raised by the adventurer Yin-yang was over twenty meters long. It was definitely a pureblood dragon species that was more powerful than ordinary pureblood dragons. The possibility of it being able to use magic was definitely not small.
In other words, just that dragon alone was enough to destroy Meromag's entire country.
The Royal Knights and the Royal Mages were no match for such a monster. Even the legendary Four Saints would have to grow to a certain extent before they could deal with a pure-blooded dragon.
"I'll bear with it for now. After all, I'm only the son-in-law of this country. I don't have much power."
The King clenched his teeth and tried to think of a way to deal with Ryuga. "Let's wait a little longer. As long as the three heroes grow, perhaps in a few months, they should be able to deal with that pure-blooded dragon … By then, we can wipe away our previous humiliation and defeat him!"
According to legends, the heroes were extremely powerful.
As long as they were given enough time, they could grow to the point where they could rival the Gods. At that point, one or two pure-blooded dragons would not be a problem. Perhaps only the legendary Dragon Emperor who almost dominated the entire world would be able to compete with the heroes who had grown to that point.
This time, Mellomag had summoned all the heroes, and they were destined to rise up in this world. As long as they could control those heroes, not only would they be able to slap their faces back, even ruling this world wouldn't be a problem.
"Unfortunately, you won't be able to wait until then."
However, just as the King was immersed in the beautiful dream of using the power of a hero to slap their faces back, a cold voice directly entered his ears.
"Who's there?!"
The King's expression changed instantly. He turned around and looked in the direction of the voice. Then, he revealed a look of astonishment. "It's you? Why are you here?! "
"If I'm not here, I don't know what you're planning."
Ryuga's figure appeared by the window unknowingly. Then, she calmly walked into the room and said with an indifferent expression, "But I didn't expect that you could only rely on those heroes. To think that I thought that you could think of some method to sow discord. Did I overestimate you …?"
"Guards! Guards! "
Seeing that she was walking towards him step by step with a dangerous aura all over her body, the King's expression changed abruptly. He hurriedly shouted outside in an attempt to attract the guards to protect him.
"Don't shout. I've already set up an isolation barrier. No matter if it's sound or magic, none of it can be transmitted outside the room."
Ryuga's face didn't have the slightest anxiety. She still calmly strolled over.
"Don't worry. After all, you're the King of this country. Although you're just a son-in-law and are only temporarily replacing the Queen to handle internal affairs, you still have good value. So, I won't kill you."
Merlomag was a country where the Queen reigned supreme.
In other words, the Queen was the pinnacle of power in this country, controlling all the civilians, adventurers, and nobles in the country.
Back then, when Agrid used the magic phone to ask for help from the palace, the one who answered the phone and planned to send the Royal Knights to rescue was the Queen of Merlomag.
But for some reason, the Queen had recently left the Royal City, so the internal affairs were handed over to her husband, the King, to handle on her behalf.
So, this white-haired old man in front of Ryuga was actually just the Queen's son-in-law. Now, he seemed to be very proud, but he was only the King's proxy. Once the Queen returned, he would immediately lose the power to kill.
But even so, before the Queen returned, this guy was still the pinnacle of power in the country and had good value.
"So, I won't kill you."
Ryuga stretched out her hand and drew the runes of Rune of the First in mid-air under the King's desperate gaze. At the same time, she spoke with an indifferent expression.
"But, from now on, it's not your turn to control your own will."
