Dragon Monarch System
Chapter 704 704:- Hundreds of Crows

"Excuse me, where is His Majesty?" Aidan asked Julia about Aditya.

He sounded really awkward. Aidan was really awkward in front of girls, as he had very limited interaction with girls due to his introverted nature.

Aidan felt even more awkward since it was Aditya's fiance. Since he hardly ever talked to Aditya's fiancée. There was simply no reason for him to approach any of Aditya's fiancée and talk to them.

But since he was here to replace Aditya, and now that the wedding was over, he didn't want to leave without talking to Aditya first.

Right now, Aidan really needed Aditya's advice. He was in a desperate situation. He did not know what to do first. Talking to Aditya would really help Aidan.

"Something very important came up, so he had to take his leave," Julia explained without telling what really happened. Even she didn't have much information about what happened. But from Watson she knew that it was something very serious and this matter shouldn't be disclosed to anyone; at least for now.

"What happened?" Spencer happened to hear what Julia said to Aidan.

"It's nothing that important," Julia said with a relaxed smile.

"Why don't you enjoy your vacation for now?" Julia suggested while patting his right shoulder.

"Sister, please don't lie to me...!!" Spencer seriously said. But he was very respectful in the way he addressed her.

Spencer took his role as the Prime Minister very seriously. If something serious came up, then he wouldn't take this vacation. Although he can't help on the battlefield but, the Empire could use a brain in such a time.

While the Emperor is fighting at the frontline, at least he can use his brain to keep everything stable until the battle is over.

"I am not lying." Julia smiled while waving her hands.

"Or are you underestimating Aditya's capabilities?" Julia asked in a stern tone.

Hearing this, Spencer slightly became stiff.

'That's not what I mean...!!' Spencer replied while scratching the back of his head.

Spencer respected Aditya very much. He never once thought that he was better than Aditya.

"Sister, if it's something very serious, then please don't hesitate to tell me. Please don't be formal with me." Spencer seriously said.

"Of course!! Of Course!!!"

Julia noticed Aria waiting for Spencer while talking to some people from her tribe.

"Now go! Your wife is waiting for you." Julia pushed Spencer towards Aria.

Spencer helplessly smiled before walking towards Aria. He could guess that Julia was pushing him away so that he could enjoy his vacation with Aria. But knowing how capable Aditya was, Spencer wasn't that worried.

"Your Majesty, I am afraid Aditya won't be able to see you right now. Why don't you come to see him tomorrow or some other right?" Julia politely said to Aidan.

Hearing this, Aidan nodded his head. If Aditya had to deal with this matter personally, this situation must be very serious. In such cases, Spencer could only wait for his chance to see Aditya.

"I will take my leave." After slightly bowing to Julia, Aidan took his leave.

By now, one after another, all the guests were slowly leaving. After all, they were people who held very important ranks and had very high status. They simply cannot stay away from their territories for too long.

Scene Change_______

Aidan wanted to return to his Royal Castle, but as he approached the teleportation array, the Emperor of the Echo Dominion Empire invited Aidan for drinks. Aidan couldn't refuse the Emperor, considering the support the Echo Dominion had provided to his Kingdom. Therefore, Aidan reluctantly accompanied the Emperor to the Echo Dominion Empire.

Around 10 pm Aidan returned to his Royal Castle.

The whole Royal Castle appeared to be very empty. Other than the guards, maids, chefs, and servants, Aidan didn't really have anyone waiting for him. He was all alone. His life always has been lonely.

With the death of his prime minister, he was all alone in his castle.

In the past, Aidan did try to invite the Empress of the Deep Sea Empire to dinner or lunch, but she never agreed to his refusal. She always politely refused his requests. Aidan wasn't an idiot. He could see that the Empress wasn't interested in him even in the slightest. He could see that the Empress and the Dragon Monarch had a very close relationship. Perhaps, she did feel something for Aditya. So after trying for a while, he just gave up.

Aidan has been so occupied with his work that he did not replace the time to look for a fiance. At his age, his father was already married to his mother. It was common for the Royalties of the Hephaestus Kingdom to get married before the age of 20.

This was a long, ongoing tradition of the Hephaestus Kingdom. Aidan was the first King who broke a long, ongoing tradition.

Looking at the empty hallway, Aidan couldn't help but sigh feeling depressed.

Sigh.....!!!

'Everyday life is becoming tougher.'

'How long it has been since I last had a guest in my Castle?' While thinking of this, Aidan pushed the doors to his bedroom.

As two large metal doors opened, he saw a woman sitting on his chair and gazing out of the window.

"Who are you?" Aidan became very cautious seeing a strange yet very beautiful woman in his room. He did not dare to step inside his own bedroom.

The woman simply turned to Aidan and smirked.

'How did she enter my bedroom?' Aidan felt that his guards weren't doing their jobs properly. If they had, then someone like her wouldn't have been able to come here.

"King of the Hephaestus Kingdom. Aidan Scott!! It's nice to meet you." The woman finally stood up facing Aidan.

"I am Goddess Luna. I am the Goddess of Light." The expression on Aidan's face changed upon hearing the name. Although he was thinking of investigating more about the self-proclaimed Goddess that suddenly appeared in his territory, he never expected that Luna herself would be waiting for him in his bedroom.

Hearing the name, Aidan became even more cautious. He took a few steps back.

Seeing Aidan looking tense, Luna's lips curved up. She took a few steps forward. "Your Majesty, why are you looking so tensed?"

Aidan did not respond. Rather, he asked her another question. "How did you come here?" Aidan took out his sword from his storage ring. At the same time, he wondered where all the maids, servants, or guards in the Castle were. Till now, he hadn't seen anyone.

'Now that I think about it, today the Castle did feel much quieter than usual. I did not see any servants or guards while heading from the teleportation array to my bedroom. The only person whom I saw is her.'

"Now that's a stupid question." The smile on her face widened.

"I am the Goddess of Light. Light is a part of me." Of course, Aidan did not believe in her nonsense. Not even the real Goddess is that powerful.

"What do you want?" Aidan asked again.

"Your Majesty, there are a ton of things that I want from you. But the real question is, will you be able to give what I desire?" Hearing this, Aidan narrowed his eyes.

"Let me rephrase my question. Can you protect what I am about to take from you?" Luna asked with a big smile on her face. It was as if she was enjoying every single expression on Aidan's face.

"You're not taking anything from me. No one is ever taking anything from this Kingdom." Aidan said in a slightly louder tone. He was angry hearing her question. His Kingdom was already owned by a bunch of criminals and corrupt officials. At that time, only he knew, just how miserable his life was. He knows just what it feels like to lose everything as a King.

"This time, no one is taking anything away from me." Aidan's voice was filled with conviction.

"Hehe...!!!" Luna only giggled hearing his words. She wasn't afraid of him or anything.

Aidan suddenly rushed at Luna with his sword.

He quickly chanted a spell. As a result, a black magic circle appeared on the floor where Luna was standing.

Before Luna could react, black chains came out of the magic circle and held her legs and arms. This prevented her from moving at all.

Aidan's sword pierced Luna's heart. The tip of the sword came out of her back.

Cough...!!!

Luna coughed out a large mouthful of blood while looking at Aidan with a horrified face.

Aidan's face was very cold. There wasn't a hint of mercy in his eyes.

"No one takes anything away from me anymore," Aidan said in a gold tone.

As blood trickled down from the corner of her mouth, Luna suddenly started giggling.

Hehe.....!!!

Seeing her giggle, Aidan felt very displeased. He really hated seeing this woman giggling. It made him feel like she was in control. And he was only dancing in her palm.

Aidan twisted his sword in anger. He did this so that she would feel more pain.

But she kept grinning. She raised her trembling left hand and pointed her index and middle fingers at Aidan.

Seeing this, Aidan was confused initially, but a second later, he realized she was pointing at his back. There seems to be someone behind him.

The next second, Luna's whole body turned into hundreds of black crows. The next second, Aidan felt a tap on his right shoulder. When he turned around, he saw a bright flash of light before his eyes became blank.

"It's done."

"Now the whole Hephaestus Kingdom is mine."
