Humans were always fearful of the unknown.
Even though the son of the forest appeared to be gentle and harmless, he was still an unknown and terrifying creature to the king, who had never seen him before.
When the son of the forest had handed the king the flower on his hair, the king had accepted the flower with a gentle smile, but in reality, his entire body had been trembling uncontrollably.
Now that the son of the forest had told him that his only prince had married a dragon, the king's jaw almost fell to the ground.
Even though he was already certain that the son of the forest was telling him that Andrew had already married a dragon, the king was still unwilling to give up. "What did you just say?"
The son of the forest smiled shyly upon hearing the king's question. He brushed away the strands of hair that had fallen over his cheeks and repeated what he had just said in a soft voice. "Prince Andrew has already married the Froth Dragon of the Enchanted Forest. According to the traditions of the dragon race, he's already half a dragon, so there's no way he can return with you."
The king's heart had already turned cold upon hearing the son of the forest's words, and he felt as if his heart had been plunged into an icy cavern.
In the eyes of humans, the dragon race was evil and greedy. They symbolized possession and plunder.
Furthermore, what humans hated the most was the dragon race's immense power.
They could easily destroy an entire city.
If the prince had married a dragon of another race, the king was confident that he would be able to fight them and bring the prince back. After all, the prince was his only bloodline in this world.
However, the prince had married a dragon, a powerful and invincible dragon.
Even the entire kingdom was no match for him, let alone the few people he had brought with him.
As such, the king had no choice but to acknowledge this marriage even if he didn't want to.
The king's face was ashen as he looked at the shyly smiling son of the forest. His heart was filled with hatred, but he could only force a smile onto his face. "Could you please tell my son that I'll be waiting for him outside? I want to see him again and have a chat with him."
He wanted to know why the Prince was brought over by the Dragon Clan for an intermarriage.
Hearing the king say that he wanted to see the prince, the green eyes of the Child of the Forest, who had been smiling shyly a moment ago, suddenly glowed with a strange red light, and a hint of sharpness appeared in his shy smile.
The Child of the Forest was no longer as shy as before. He was as sharp as an unsheathed sword.
The Child of the Forest stared at the King and asked in a cold voice, "What are you saying now?"
The sudden change in the Child of the Forest startled the king, and the king's aura instantly diminished. "I just wanted to catch up with him. After all, he's my only child."
"Catching up?"
The Son of the Forest's lips curled into a sneer as he said, "Your son married the most revered dragon in our Magic Forest, and he didn't even give her a betrothal gift. Now you want to reminisce about old times? If you want to catch up, bring the betrothal gifts over first. "
The Son of the Forest looked as if he wanted to see the prince, and he had to either give him a betrothal gift or scram.
The King was afraid that the Child of the Forest would tell the dragon that he wanted to see the prince and harm his kingdom, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'll go back and prepare the betrothal gifts. Please forgive me."
Hearing the King say that he would go back and prepare the betrothal gifts, the Child of the Forest smiled in satisfaction.
As the Child of the Forest smiled, a transparent barrier appeared around the Magic Forest, and the Child of the Forest slowly disappeared from the King's sight.
As the Child of the Forest disappeared, the King fainted.
There was no doubt that he was angry.
Although it was the prince who had led the army to the Magic Forest, the King knew the prince well. Even if he had a hundred hearts, he wouldn't dare to think about marrying a dragon.
The most likely possibility was that the dragon had taken a fancy to the prince and wanted to force him to be with her.
After all, the dragon race was so powerful. If she wanted to marry the prince, would the prince dare to say no?
When he thought about how the dragon race had taken away his only heir and forced him to give her a betrothal gift, the King felt dizzy. What the hell was going on?
When the King woke up, he was almost back in his kingdom.
The first thing the King did when he returned to his kingdom was to order his subordinates to prepare the betrothal gifts.
Even though the King knew that it was hopeless for the prince to return, he still wanted to see him and ask him about what had happened.
However, before he could prepare the betrothal gifts, the King received news from his subordinates that the treasury was empty.
The King was already feeling dizzy, but he felt even more dizzy.
If it weren't for the servants beside him supporting him, the King would have crashed his head into a pillar.
The King raised his hand to rub his blood pressure, which had suddenly skyrocketed due to his shock. He looked at his subordinate and tried to sound as calm as possible as he asked, "What did you say? What treasures in the treasury are missing? "
Although his kingdom wasn't as rich as the other kingdoms, it was still better than the other kingdoms. The treasures in the treasury couldn't compare to those of the other kingdoms, but there were still some hidden treasures. What did he mean by 'missing'?
Could it be that they had all grown wings and flown away?
He knew that if he directly told the King that all the treasures in the treasury were missing, the King would question him, so he specifically asked how the treasures disappeared. The subordinate hurriedly told the King that the prince had taken out all the treasures in the treasury and sent them to the neighboring kingdom to curry favor with Sindra.
The King had almost fainted just now, but now he really fainted.
When the King woke up, he seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant. His whole body was dispirited, as if his vitality had been sucked dry by a fairy.
The King motioned for his subordinates to help him sit up on the bed, while looking at his subordinates, "Go to the neighboring kingdom and get all the treasures back for me."
One had to know that the King had not only given Sindra gold coins, but also treasures that had been passed down for generations in his kingdom. If these treasures were lost, then he really wouldn't be able to rest in peace.
However, even so, the King still ordered his subordinates to prepare the betrothal gifts.
This time, the King wanted to see the prince not because of fatherly love, but because of hatred. He had to ask how the prince had been blinded by lard, how could he have given those incomparably precious treasures that even he couldn't bear to touch to Sindra in the neighboring kingdom? Was he crazy?
In order to curry favor with the Ink Porch, Sindra was really unscrupulous. She couldn't wait to send all the treasures in the world to the Ink Porch. In order to obtain rare treasures, she didn't hesitate to let her subordinates rob tombs so that they could obtain precious treasures.
Wanting to take back the treasures that were given to him was truly like pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth, wishful thinking.
