"Judging from the color of your scales after turning into Dragonoid Transformation... I'm guessing that you have made Ms. Elize your first woman?"
Listening to Lucius's shameless words made me feel slightly awkward. The color of my current scales was different from when I first activated my Dragonoid Transformation. Various strange thoughts began to enter Lucius's mind.
Previously, the color of my scales after turning into Dragonoid Transformation was black. But now, all the changes that occurred in my current transformation had completely turned white. Because Elize is a white dragon, I inherited each of her changes, which, in fact, are those of a dragon that controls the Ice Element.
This gave Athena a little jealousy. The color of Athena's scales after transforming into her dragon form is black. Due to her lover now having a different color from when he first activated his half-dragon transformation, Athena was completely unable to say a word after seeing the true form of her lover's transformation.
There was no way something like this would have happened if Athena hadn't let her lover become Elize's personal disciple. But that didn't give Athena any regrets at all. On the contrary, Athena felt a sense of pride after witnessing Lucien's unreasonable increase in strength.
Being able to withstand an attack from a Dragon Emperor-stage dragon was impossible for a Great Dragon-stage dragon. However, my current level of strength is no different from that of a Great Dragon-stage dragon who has reached the threshold of their strength.
My current strength is enough for me to reach the Dragon King stage in just a week or two. Unfortunately, the schedule change that was supposed to happen in two weeks doesn't allow me to break through my current limitations. Although I wasn't happy about the schedule change that was supposed to happen in two weeks, I wasn't too angry about the cheating actions that the empire had committed against the kingdom.
"Father-in-law... Please don't embarrass your future son-in-law. I also realize that I am a little bastard."
A small chuckle escaped Lucius's mouth. Listening to his future son-in-law's statement about himself gave Lucius a slight feeling of satisfaction. Regardless of Shelia's angry expression, Lucius now showed a calm face and began to welcome his future son-in-law back into their house.
"Forget it. Welcome back. You didn't disappoint me and Lilith's expectations either. You even far exceeded my expectations."
Praise after praise came out of Lucius's mouth. It didn't make me care about every compliment Lucius gave me. It's not that I think of Lucius as a man who is crazy about the development of my strength; I just don't want to provoke Lucius, who is currently endlessly imagining that I can defeat the young master of the Vermillion family.
Both Elize and Athena showed small smiles at the attitude of the middle-aged man before them. Both women had known that their lover couldn't be defeated by someone like Charles. Moreover, Elize had accompanied me for almost six months. For Elize, my current development had far exceeded her expectations from when she first trained me.
Being able to fight evenly with Liz is also one of the reasons why Elize thinks of me as an extraordinary man. Not everyone in the world is on the same level as Liz, who can fight evenly and even be cornered by someone like me. For that reason, Elize was very confident that I would be able to defeat Charles with all my strength.
"Father, let's go in right now. I'm sure Mother and the other sisters are waiting for us."
"You're right. My two daughters, since you've gone on a long journey, let Father prepare some snacks for you to enjoy. Ah, of course, you two can come too."
"Please stop. Lucien has just returned from training for almost six months. We should at least let him calm his mind first."
A sigh escaped Lucius's mouth. What his eldest daughter said regarding Lucien's condition made sense to Lucius. Looking at the situation I am currently experiencing, it is no different from that of a man who has just been freed from hell. Therefore, Lucius couldn't help but decide to let me calm my mind first.
Several minutes passed after Elize, Athena, Shelia, and I walked into the palace castle. Various powerful presences appeared and surrounded the entire living room. For some reason, a memory of when I previously faced Lilith came flooding back into my mind.
I still haven't completely forgotten the feeling of terror that I hadn't felt for a long time. I know that Lilith is the strongest dragon I have ever met. Apart from Lucius, who is actually the Dragon King, Lilith's status in the Dragon Realm is the highest among the other rulers.
Elize's entire body showed a violent tremor. She would never forget how she first felt the power displayed by Lilith in the past. From Elize's point of view, the power demonstrated by Lilith in the past was no different from her creating an apocalypse across the entire Dragon Realm.
A feeling of nausea hit Elize's stomach again. Luckily, Athena, who was by Elize's side, provided her assistance and channeled the power of her mana into her body. Showing disrespect in front of her mother was not a good thing for Athena at all.
Athena's respect for her mother was far greater than that for her own father. Even Athena's three sisters felt the same way. As the eldest sister among the four sisters, Athena has the temperament of a future ruler who is ready to lead troops from the Kingdom of Dragonia at any time.
"Hello, Auntie... long time no see... I mean, Mrs. Lilith, you... you are still as healthy as ever... hehe..."
The sentence that unknowingly came out of Elize's mouth at this time was the worst sentence out of all the sentences she had spoken to the other rulers. But Lilith didn't mind the nervous attitude that Elize showed towards her at all. Shaking her head, a gentle smile appeared on Lilith's face.
The terrifying pressure that Lilith had previously released throughout the room began to disappear, and the room returned to its normal state. For now, Lilith's goal is to welcome the return of her future son-in-law and also to meet Elize. However, the schedule changes that should have been agreed upon between the two parties had been completely violated by the challenger.
Being wise towards the current situation does not reflect Lilith at all, as she is the true leader of the Dragonia Kingdom. Moreover, this problem also concerns the self-esteem of her own family. It is absolutely impossible for Lilith to let the opposing party act as they please and then arbitrarily change the schedule that should have been agreed upon by both parties.
