Dragons’ Cry Genesis (Part 13)
I have something that I should brag about. Whether it was Mommy Vyvyan, Lucia or even Nier, I could still manage to sleep with them in my arms once we were done. Even Nier ran out of gas after being satisfied and slept in my arms afterwards. I didn’t know if I should consider myself awesome or if it was because the body Troy left me with was relatively tough. At the very least, I never cried about it being a tough chore. This time, I couldn’t…
When we were done, I lied flat out facing the ceiling. I genuinely felt absolutely drained. I received a boost from my dragon blood, but I still couldn’t stand up against Dragon Mom. It was the first time I felt the anguish of being drained dry. It was one frightening feeling. It was akin to dying, and then looking at your physical body through the lenses of your soul outside your body. It felt as though I wouldn’t be able to stand up again for life. My back and my daughters’ first home were just done for…
Dragon Mom, on the other hand, was in particularly high spirits. She lied supported on her arm and watched me with a smile. I didn’t feel as though I sinned. After all, I had done it with Ling Yue before to relieve cravings. Ling Yue was especially assertive during spring. She’d cling to me every day, ignoring the time and place. However, Ling Yue was really easy to deal with. She was essentially the same as Lucia. Being very sensitive, Lucia didn’t really like me touching her. Elves didn’t pursue sexual feelings, after all. Lucia was occupied with taking care of our daughters after she gave birth. She wouldn’t come to me at night unless she wanted some love making time.
Dragons were also an animal, so they experienced sexual lust. While foxes craved it once annually, dragons were in heat quarterly. Since dragons’ fertility rates were low, they wouldn’t get pregnant in spite of that.
Dragon Mom touched my head and kissed my cheek. With a smile, she said, “Thank you, Son. Have a rest.”
Hearing Dragon Mom’s remark made me think, “Why does it feel that the roles in this sort of situation have been reversed…?”
Dragon Mom’s scales started to cover her entire body. She whipped her hair then got off the bed. She then went to the makeup desk to check that her hair and face were all right. Then, she sighed: “It’s so troublesome living as a human. I have to pay attention to so many things. Son, do you think Mommy looks good? This is your father’s favourite appearance, but I wonder if you like it.”
I checked Mom out and gave her a smile: “Since you transform at will, can you assume an appearance I like?”
Dragon Mom softly chuckled: “There’s no mistake you’re your father’s child. Your beauty standards are virtually the same as your father’s; therefore, I have no need to transform. I just need to make some minor alterations. To be honest, Son, the appearance you want to see is basically the same as your father. I was quite surprised to see that it was not your wives that I saw, to be honest.”
“Huh?!” I vigorously sat up and looked at Dragon Mom with a surprised look.
Dragon Mom laughed, and then turned back to check herself out in the mirror. With her back to me, she explained, “You may not know this, but the appearance that you want to see in your mind is essentially this. I’m sure Vyvyan is aware of this, hence is so bold.”
I was speechless. I had no idea what sort of woman I wanted in my mind, but since Dragon Mom and Vyvyan could tell… Perhaps they were right. In saying that, I didn’t feel that was the route I took. I’m not some mom-con. That, I guarantee. I never thought about going that route. I’m not a mom-con! I’m not! No!
Dragon Mom stood up and walked up to the bed to sit down on it. She elaborated, “Son, didn’t you say you have something to tell Mommy? Tell Mommy now. What is it? Mommy will do the best Mommy can to help you.”
I nodded. Frankly speaking, what Mom just said left me slightly baffled. I still hadn’t returned to reality. I rubbed my head while Dragon Mom watched me with her gentle expression. Seeing my reaction, she said, “If you can’t recall it, take your time thinking. It’s all right. Mommy isn’t in a rush. If something comes up, just come see Mommy at any time.”
I nodded. Although Dragon Mom said that, she didn’t wait. Instead, she stood up and looked at the time. She then said, “Mommy will be leaving now, then. Xia wants to see Mommy, so Mommy can’t be late. Come see Mommy in the evening if something comes up. Vyvyan and Elizabeth are both absent at the moment, right?”
That was true. Vyvyan and Elizabeth had both returned to their respective nations for the meanwhile to prepare their luggage that needed to be sent to Troy City, since they were moving there. We would be reunited at Troy City after the short period of separation. I was going to be bringing my children along for the trip, so the separation wasn’t sad for me.
I didn’t know what Xia and Dragon Mom were meeting up for… The only thing I could think of that would have their paths intersect would be Xia learning new dishes, but not daring to share it with others. I guess she wanted to share it with Dragon Mom. After all, dragons had a different sense of taste compared to humans, and they were probably less likely to have sensitive gut reactions.
I stood up and left the room.  My legs were still feeling somewhat weak, if I was honest. I had no idea how long Dragon Mom bore with it… Whatever the case, I was barely hanging on by a thread… I had to respect my dad. Ten years with Dragon Mom in the desert. That must’ve been tough.  As I walked, I pondered, “Is my father even tougher than me? That, I don’t like. If he suffered as I’m suffering, then, at least, I’m not alone. Mommy Vyvyan didn’t let Dad touch her after giving birth to me, though…”
When I left the room and went to my room, I heard footsteps from behind and a very angry voice, “Your Majesty!”
My heart skipped a beat.
I stopped to think: “I seem to have forgotten something. I could leave my children out of the list of possibilities upon returning, since they still can’t move. I’ve seen my two wives, and then I saw Dragon Mom. Ying is training, while Xia is in the kitchen.”
I thought I’d seen everyone, only to forget one of the people closest to me!!
Luna placed her hand onto my shoulder. I turned around while feeling panic-stricken. I saw Luna’s false smile. With a menacing undertone, she said, “So, you are back, Your Majesty. How coincidental, huh? I was totally left in the dark. I did not know of your return despite being your personal servant. I sure have failed in my duty. Moreover, I did not go to see you as soon as you were back. The fault is all mine…”
I quickly grabbed Luna’s hand and apologised, “I’m sorry! It was my mistake!”
There’s no need to explain anything in those situations. Trying to explain myself would only make matters worse. Luna looked at me with a cold gaze. She maintained that smile that hurt my heart. She then sniggered: “I guess it is fair. After all, I am but a personal servant to you. You know, personal servant, one who has to serve His Majesty. His Majesty does not need to be concerned about me… Oop!”
*Slap!!*
I tried to kiss Luna. Don’t they say you just have to kiss a girl when they’re jealous or angry…? Why’d she give me a slap without a word…? Was I pampering Luna too much…? Sob! My personal servant gave me a slap… My self-esteem was dealt a blow.
Luna swiftly wiped her lips. Panicked, she checked her surroundings. With a red face, she muffled her voice to speak: “Your Majesty! Are you crazy? We are in the Imperial Palace. What are we going to do if somebody catches us?! Do you want to publicise our relationship? If we publicise it what would the maids think of me?!”
“Sorry… I just wanted to apologise…”
I, too, realised the problem. If the maids around me saw me kiss Luna, she would be considered my mistress, and consequently as a woman who sold her body for work.. Furthermore, Lucia and Nier detected that my relationship with Luna wasn’t normal. Nier, in particular, was most aware, because she knew Luna and I were together on a full-moon night. Consequently, she was very mindful of Luna ever since then. It was just that she never found any concrete evidence. If my relationship with Luna was exposed, I would probably have to banish Luna from the Imperial Palace.
Luna looked at me with a hopeless expression; then, she touched the spot she just slapped. However, my face was now covered in scales, so her slap couldn’t wound me. Nonetheless, it seemed to hurt her heart. I shook my head with a smile: “It doesn’t hurt.”
“But you still have not apologised to me.”
Luna smiled. She was reassured after checking. I then wiped my smile off my face and explained, “Sorry, Luna, I’ll be sure to see you next time when I’m back. I didn’t see you this time mainly because I was delayed with business with Dragon Mom. I swear it wasn’t because I forgot about you.”
Seeing my desperate attempt try to explain myself, Luna smiled: “All right, all right. I, truthfully, am not that angry. Also, I slacked off when you were gone. Consider it a short vacation. I need to work now that you are back. I quite enjoyed my vacation, so I shall forgive you!”
Luna softly giggled, and then followed behind me: “Your Majesty, where are you going now? To see your children? Fortunately, they are all awake at the moment. Then, you will go for a meal, right? I am sure the Consorts will be very happy to have you join them at dinner this time. You look exhausted, though. I think it would be better for you to sleep alone tonight. Or did you need those drugs?”
I nodded, and then suddenly realised something: “Tonight, Nier will definitely…  But right now, I…”
A felt a chill down my spine… I took in a deep breath. I nodded: “Luna, get me the drug… Thank you…”
A satisfied smile crept up on Luna’s face: “Understood. So even His Majesty has such days, huh?”
