The two wings behind my back showed a fierce and very charming shape. The color of the scales around my wings was no different from Athena's. Even though the scales on my wings were black, my form didn't really show a half-dragon transformation.
I wasn't from the Dragon race in the first place. I only got power from Athena. Even if I managed to transform into a half-dragon form, I wouldn't really be able to display the strongest transformation like the True Dragon race.
But it also gave me an advantage in increasing my strength. Everything that Athena gave me after I entered her family was a dragon transformation. But that was completely unknown to me before I entered the first level of power in this world.
[The host's contractual relationship with Athena has been established and will be together forever. That's also why the host has a fraction of Athena's power. But don't worry. Host, you will immediately acquire every skill of Athena after you have sex with her.]
"Alright, well... I won't expect too much for now. Hopefully God won't make it too difficult for me to be in this family." With a blank look on my face, I couldn't help but ignore every conflict between the family members around me. I didn't really want to hear the debate between everyone in this place.
Luckily, the guards decided not to interfere too much in the disputes of their King's family. For the guards, it was common for the Dragon King's family to argue with each other.
Every member of the Dragon King's family was much stronger than the average dragon noble in the city. Every activity they carried out was just for fun. Even Athena herself decided to wander around before she met me. That's also the reason why I was saved by her.
"When will this end? I want to go back and rest..." The moment the half-dragon form in my body disappeared, my body unconsciously fell from my place. The current me had completely reached my limit. Even though my regeneration was strengthened immediately after I entered half-dragon form, it didn't really cover up the wounds inside my body.
The attack launched by my father-in-law was terrifying for a human like me. I was just lucky after I succeeded in awakening my talent. If it were the old me, I wouldn't have been able to survive that man's attack.
"Lucien/Brother-in-law!"
...
The next day passed, and my eyes began to open as sunlight entered the room and reached my face. When I raised my head, I saw Athena sleeping by my side.
A gentle smile appeared on my face. Instead of feeling uncomfortable being hugged by Athena, I decided to stay in bed a little longer.
Some memories came back into my mind. Last night's incident made me think it was a dream. But I wouldn't be so stupid as to think it was a dream. Without me realizing it, Athena's two eyelids also started to open, and she looked at me.
Athena's eyes, which were like those of a wild beast, gave me a feeling of nervousness and embarrassment in my heart. I involuntarily coughed softly. Trying to lower the awkward atmosphere around me, I chose to make small talk with Athena.
"How are you this morning? Did you sleep comfortably?"
"It's okay. You also seem to have recovered from the wounds you received from my father previously. Lucien, I beg you not to force yourself anymore. If you are beaten by Father, I hope you can immediately surrender before he can hurt you further." Athena's worried expression didn't make me uncomfortable. I just didn't want to make my father-in-law's view of me bad. After all, I am Athena's lover.
"It can't be helped. Athena, you should also know that your father is very strict with a son-in-law like me. I can't possibly give up if he wants to beat me. I swear that one day I will beat my father-in-law with both hands!"
"That... no! I won't allow it. I won't let you do that! You should also remember that Father's strength has reached the Dragon Emperor stage. That's a level five times higher than your current level!"
Above the Intermediate Dragon/Rookie Warrior stage is the High Dragon/Knight Warrior stage, and then there is also the Great Dragon/True Warrior stage. There are also stages such as the Dragon King/Grand Warrior stage, the Great Dragon King/Arch-Warrior stage, and the Dragon Emperor/Saint Warrior stage. Each level can only be achieved by those who succeed in surpassing their own limitations.
Just remembering it made my whole body shiver. I didn't know whether I could reach the Saint Warrior stage or not. But I knew that I could reach the Saint Warrior stage with just my talent.
"Hehe. Are you worried? Didn't you tell me before that you like men who are brave and tough? I will be the man you think I am. I will be strong for you."
A coughing sound involuntarily came out of Athena's mouth. Athena's previously serious expression turned embarrassed. Hearing the last sentence from my mouth made Athena's heart beat very fast. Coupled with the handsome face I showed, it made Athena's mind once again sink into lust.
But Athena's reaction was different from when she first lunged into my arms. It was only a temporary reaction, and it soon disappeared the moment she shook her head. Before Athena walked away from my room, she didn't forget to give me words of encouragement for my training today.
"Cheer up, Lucien. You have to be strong. And since you want to be strong for me, you have to try harder to catch up to my strength. Ah. And also, don't overdo it when you meet that woman."
