Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System-Chapter 344 The Dwarf Crown Prince Part 3
“You! Thurul, are you crazy!? You know by doing this, you are no longer part of the royal family!” I turned and gave the well dressed dwarf a strange look. It seemed there was more to things than what was being said. f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m
“Humph! You can’t ever open the vault without me. My blood has been inscribed into the magic circle since birth, and without me there, you can never sit on the throne. I never planned to help you retrieve what was inside. So your kingly status will never come to fruition. You are bound by the magic to never be able to open it to claim the throne. Even if Father dies, you will never officially become king even if you name yourself as such, as each king must go into the vault and retrieve the Dreadnaught Hammer.” Thurul’s tone was full of mockery, causing the well dressed dwarf’s face to twist.
“You! You dare!? Do not think I can not do anything to you! Guards seize Prince Thurul for conspiring against the Crown!” The well dressed dwarf yelled out but sadly for him, the guards couldn’t move, not when Adel had already cast pause magic on them. “What is going on!? Why are you not moving!?”
Horror filled the well dressed dwarf’s eyes as he looked at his guards, who were all frozen in place. It was only the sound of my finger tapping the table was heard, did he turned to look at me. “Mr. Prince….. It seems you do not know your position. If you threaten those of my family, I will not hold back. From what I can tell, this kingdom is running perfectly fine, and I do not wish to bring it under Gravos’s rule, but if you dare to make another move like you have now, I will annex this entire kingdom, and your dream of becoming king will never see the light. Your fate will be for Thurul to decide.”
“This…. How can you just interfere with another kingdom’s affairs!? I need Thurul to give up his right to the throne legally in order to take the crown!” The panicked well dressed dwarf looked at me with pleading eyes as if I was going to help him.
“Why would I not interfere with this? Thurul is my friend and is now officially part of my Cyrilia family. Who gave you the right to threaten him with your soldiers? My question for you is, are you trying to start an international incident by threatening a princess of another nation’s family members?” I asked this question, but I couldn’t help but feel a bit used as I eyed Thurul. He lowered his head as soon as he felt my gaze. But nonetheless, I still owe Thurul a lot for all he has done, so I will not blame him for his motives. But he should now know he is locked to my family.
“I….” The well dressed Dwarf seemed at a loss. 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎
“I think I should be asking you the same question.” A voice came from the other side of the door. Another much older looking dwarf pushed the door open, followed by a few knights.
“Father!” Thurul had a complicated look on his face as he saw the old dwarf.
“Thurul, what is the meaning of this? You bring outsiders to walk all over our ages long dwarven tradition!?” The dwarven king yelled out. He seemed very angry.
“Father, you expect me to sit by after being under my brother’s grip for all these years? Why do you think I left the kingdom in the first place!?” Thurul shot back.
“What does your inability to deal with your brother have to do with anything? This is why you were not favored. You are lacking!” The king snorted before looking at me. “Princess Cyrilia, was it? You are overstepping your bounds in my kingdom.”
“I wouldn’t overstep if you raised your son correctly. Thurul is a good person and a hard worker. He sees friends as people he can trust with his life. But you allowed your good son here to trample all over him. Just admit you didn’t like Thurul in the first place. Why else would you allow your good son here to use a woman to honey trap him and force him out of the kingdom?” I answered back coldly.
“Humph! It is his own weakness! He let a woman take advantage of him. This is his own fault and something he will need to live with!” The dwarven king answered. “But you, Princess Cyrilia, are nothing more than a titled princess and are butting in where you do not belong. I will give you a fair warning. Stay out of this, or the dwarven kingdom will not stand idly.”
“Oh? Let me say this, then. I will stand back, but as of now, Thurul is part of my Cyrilia family. He is no longer a royal. So if you are trying to detain a member of my family and a citizen of the Gravos kingdom, then that would be an act of war.” I replied with a bright smile causing the dwarven king’s brow to furrow.
“Humph!” The king snorted before looking at his other son. “You did good! Real good! Let’s return!”
I signaled for Adel to release her spell on the other knights as we watched as the king and the well dressed dwarf left with their entourage. “Faith… I am sorry… I had no choice….”
I shook my head upon hearing Thurul’s apology. “It’s fine, do not worry about it. If anything, you made the right choice since the King himself came. He can’t do anything to you or to me at this time unless he wishes to start a war. So before he makes his next move, he will need to plan carefully. Until then, we are free to explore the city as we please. After all, he wouldn’t dare kick me out.”
I gave a bright smile as I leaned back in my chair. “So for now, let’s order some food. I would hate to waste this chance to eat at a high scale restaurant now that we are here.”
