Undead Beast Master: Living Solely for My Desires-Chapter 55: Two Beauties
Zaroth held his breath, as his face lost color.
"I am sorry? A dragon? You think I have tamed a dragon?" he asked, trying to appear calm, but his trembling voice and hands made it clear that he had been busted.
He cursed inwardly, ’How the actually fuck did she figure it out?!’
"Yes, I do believe you have a dragon in your possession. This is the conclusion I came to after seeing the aftermath of the fight."
She tapped with her finger on the desk.
"Zack and Roran managed to defeat the three-headed beast, you defeated the beast master… the question is, who dealt with the metallic bird beast?"
Seeing that the secret was out and not wanting to make the situation worse than it already was, Zaroth knew there was nothing left to do but stay silent.
"Something managed to defeat the Epic beast, that something also managed to take a bite of a third of the creature’s massive body, and lastly, that something had enough firepower to melt the metallic feathers of the bird and almost burn the whole forest…"
"So isn’t it natural that the conclusion I came to is that you possess a dragon?"
"But… but…" Zaroth was stuttering, clearly struggling. He wasn’t able to find a way out.
"Of course, this is just my theory… so tell me, do you have a dragon in your soul?"
At this moment, he knew there was no saving it.
Elysia seemed to be able to tell when a person was lying, so there wasn’t much Zaroth could do at this point.
"… I do."
Seeing that Zaroth was telling the truth, Elysia sighed in satisfaction as she leaned back against her chair.
"Good. Now summon it. I want to see it."
"But it will not fit in t—"
"Do you think I am a fool?" Elysia interrupted him.
"I know strong beasts of Legendary rank can take the appearance of a human, so it’s only natural that Mythical beasts could do the same, isn’t it?"
Zaroth hesitated until he heard Luna’s voice in his mind.
’The cat is out of the bag at this point. It is better to summon me.’
With regret in his eyes, Zaroth summoned Luna.
White sparks began to materialize, and a few seconds later, a tall woman with white hair and green cat-like eyes appeared in front of Zaroth as she stared at Elysia with indifference.
Elysia’s eyes widened in awe for a moment. As she stood up, she extended her arm forward.
"Nice to meet you, miss…?"
"Luna," she replied, returning the handshake with a smile.
Looking at the two beauties as they stared at each other, no doubt assessing if they could kill the person before them, Zaroth sighed inwardly.
’I really have a strange taste in women.’
Suddenly, he remembered Roran and Zack.
’I think I wouldn’t mind another night where we get blackout drunk.’
After the introductions, Luna seated herself at Zaroth’s side, not shifting her gaze from Elysia.
"So now that you know my master has a Mythical beast under his command, what are you going to do about it?" Luna asked, putting one leg over the other.
"Nothing much, at least not yet. I will just expect your master to win the tournament with certainty from now on," Elysia replied with a menacing smile.
Not wanting to be left a spectator, Zaroth spoke up,
"I will join and win the tournament for my own accord. There is something I want, after all."
His interjection was met by the stares of the two women.
Being stared at by them, Zaroth’s body shivered slightly as blood began to flow to a certain body part.
"So now you know what you’re going to use your wish for?" Elysia asked, raising an eyebrow.
’You are also going to grant me a wish, aren’t you? Your one is much more valuable than the emperor’s.’
But Zaroth certainly wasn’t planning to share the information that he was planning to use the wish to sleep with—or at least try to sleep with—Elysia, so he twisted the truth a bit.
"Yes, you can say that."
Luna, no doubt knowing Zaroth’s inner motives, smirked but didn’t say anything.
"But I have to ask," he added.
"Isn’t there a law that if anyone is able to tame a strong creature, they’re to be executed on the spot? Why are you letting me go? Isn’t that against the word of the emperor?"

Raising from her seat with a sigh, Elysia spoke.
"First, even if you go rogue, no matter how many beasts you’ve tamed, I’m certain I will be able to stop you before you do any real damage,"
She began as she walked to the side of the desk.
"Second, no one would ever expect you to have tamed a dragon. That makes you... more valuable."
Approaching his seat, she raised her foot, placing it between his legs, the high heel burying itself deep into the leather of the seat.
"And third," she spoke coldly as she placed her left hand on his cheek, bringing her face closer to his.
"You know you work for me, so why would I execute my own subordinate? Those who belong to me know better than to defy me."
Unable to tear his gaze away from her piercing eyes, Zaroth sent a mental message to Luna.
’Hey, aren’t you going to react in any way?!’
Luna sighed, her voice dripping with amusement as she responded in their shared connection.
’Why would I interrupt? You seem to be enjoying it, after all.’
’I am not!’
’Then why do I feel excitement coming from you?’
At her words, Zaroth was left speechless.
Looking as if Zaroth was frozen, maybe from fear? Seeing his hesitation, Elysia, spoke once more.
"So, does that answer your question?"
"Yes, but now another question suddenly arose."
Elysia, not moving her leg nor her arm, raised an eyebrow and asked,
"What is it?"
"After today’s lectures, if you’re free, would you like to join me for dinner?"
