Chapter 257 A Diplomatic Meeting



Chapter 257  A Diplomatic Meeting

Ria still didn't look convinced and Givalich just told her to drop it. It's not something that Ria would understand so there is no need to continue talking about it.

They got to an inn and Givalich paid for a room for the two of them. When Ria asked her where she got the money from, Givalich told her that a dragon never goes around without their hoards. Guvalich was richer than a god and she had everything she has ever hoarded stashed away in her spatial space.

"So you held onto everything even when you were in that volcano?"

"If I let go of my gold, then how will Dragonnel and I have a good life? All of this will just be a waste of effort, won't it?"

Givalich said this so seriously that Ria immediately shut it! It still didn't make any sense to her, but Ria now realized that Givalich really cared for Dragonnel. Givalich cared about Dragonnel so much that Givalich was already planning what they would do after she gets him back. Won't this go against the plan that the king has for Givalich? Ria couldn't help but think this as she followed Givalich to their room. The king planned to take Givalich to Mogul after this and use her in the crusade that they were going there for. If Givalich is so enamored with Dragonnel, will she even be willing to go to Mogul? Will she agree to leave her brother behind and join the church on their mission?

They entered the rooms and Gvalich immediately said that she was going to the bath.

"I'll come with you!"

Ria quickly packed up her things and followed Givalich and the two of them got to the bath. Ria went into a separate room to take off her clothes, but Givalich didn't care at all as she just took off everything in the middle of the bath and walked into the water. There were some other women there, and they all stared at Guvalich in envy as they saw the perfect proportions of her body. Her breasts were large, but not too large and her ass was perfectly rounded. She had a six-pack but it wasn't so well defined that it took anything away from her beauty.

Ria came out a few minutes later from the inner room and she saw Givalich resting against the wall inside the bath with her legs crossed. Ria couldn't help but comment on Givalich.

"You're very free-spirited, aren't you? Most women aren't even comfortable showing their legs outside and you're here taking off everything so easily."

Givalich scoffed. Dragons didn't care about things like that.

"The only thing I care about are money and my mate. Everything else doesn't matter to me."

"Is Dragonnel your mate? I thought he was your brother."

Ria couldn't stop herself from asking this question. It has been gnawing at the back of her head all this time and she couldn't understand it. Why was Guvalich so interested in Dragonnel if he was her brother? Were things like that normal for dragons?

Givalich rose a curious brow when she heard the question.

"Does there need to be a difference between the two? I chose him as mine a long time ago, and I will make him mine even if he refuses it to his death. I know he loves me as well, regardless of how much he tries to hide it, so nothing is stopping us from being together other than the demon lord."

That sort of confidence wasn't normal. Ria could only think like this as she stared at Givalich in awe. Ria thought about her own love life and she wondered if she could have this sort of confidence. She left Elias a long time ago when things were very difficult for them and she joined the church. No matter how much she tries to patch things up now, she knows that Elias would never forgive what she did. It was the same as betraying him.

But things were too difficult then and she knew that they both needed space and that was why she left. If she had the sort of confidence that Givalich had, then she was sure she would have stayed. But she didn't.

Ria just tried to change the topic since she didn't want to think about the past anymore.

"How much longer before we get to the mountains?"

Givalich hummed and looked up as she thought about it. If they rest every two days, at the rate that they were going, they should get to the Duruvian mountains in less than one week. There shouldn't be much trouble along the way, so that amount of time was okay. Givalich said this to Ria and Ria nodded her head in acceptance. One more week wasn't too bad.

.........

Dracula felt uneasy as he entered the territory of the lizardmen. After leaving Aquinas and coming down to the caves that the lizardmen took as their territory, Dracula has been feeling uneasy. He didn't know why he felt this way, but it was as if there was something in the air that just didn't sit right with him!

thought like this and he shook his head. there is no need to feel uneasy in a place like this. They just need to finish the negotiations Dracula turned to the side to look at Talia and he saw that she was also having the same feeling. Her brow was furrowed and there was a guarded look on her face as she walked through the territory. Or maybe she is just worried because these are her enemies. Dracula thought like this and he shook his head. there is no need to feel uneasy in a place like this. They just need to finish the negotiations and go back home,

The lizardmen were very territorial creatures and usually, they would never allow anyone to enter their home. But it was different since the person that came was Dracula. Dracula was one of the leaders of a demon race and refusing him an audience would be the same as refusing the demon lord himself. If it was Talia that came here alone, then the lizardmen would have sent her back with a knife in her chest, but since she came with Dracula, they had no choice but to host him.

But that didn't mean the lizardmen liked it. Every single lizardman that they passed gave Dracula and Talia cold looks. They were all holding weapons and they were releasing small amounts of bloodlust as they watched the two of them. Dracula knew that they wouldn't attack him. They wouldn't even think of it because they knew that he could kill all of them with only one skill, but it was still annoying to have to go through something like this.

Dracula and Talia reached the room of the leader of the lizardmen and they saw a bulky lizardman with green scales and yellow eyes. He smiled at them and his large rows of sharp teeth became visible.

"The vampire lord. I didn't think I would be seeing you anytime soon. What brings a lord like yourself to my territory? I don't think we have any business between us."

The lizardman said this as he leaned forward over a low table. There was a hint of hostility in his voice and Dracula easily picked it up and ignored it. there is nothing that this fool could do to intimidate Dracula since Dracula was much stronger than him! Dracula answered the leader as he walked towards the chair.

"We don't, and if I had a choice then I would have liked to keep it that way for much longer since I despise coming into your cave. But I'm not here for myself today, am I?"

Draulc went and took a seat in front of the lizardman leader and the leader smiled wider before he snapped his finger and ordered one of the lizardmen guards to bring them something to eat. Dracula narrowed his eyes and the leader's grin widened.

"Between lords, you wouldn't deny a meal from me would you?"

"Have you forgotten what I am, lizard? Are you trying to provoke me now?"

The leader of the lizardmen suddenly laughed loudly as he heard this and he didn't stop for almost a minute. By the time his chuckles were coming down, he cleaned a tear from his eye.

"I just wanted you to say it yourself. So you see, you and I are very different, bloodsucker. So why the fuck are you interfering in a war that had nothing to do with you? You think that coming here as the leader of the vampires is going to make me withdraw my forces?'

The leader said that last sentence with a sudden glare and Dracula could feel the bloodlust in the room increase as the leader of the lizardmen suddenly became hostile. Dracula glared at the man and told him to reduce his glare.

"It seems you've forgotten how to show respect to fellow lords. The demon lord chose me himself and granted me a position that you can never dream of occupying. Reduce your glare this instant."

Doon!

[Bloodlust] has been activated!!

Dracula suddenly released his own bloodlust and the entire area shook from the intensity of it! Dracula's bloodlust made everyone there stand at attention as it threatened to drown the entire cave!

Behind him, Talia was sweating ad she looked at him! She knew that she wasn't the target of the bloodlust, but it was still intense to be feeling something like that! Talia felt like any wrong move right now would end up in her death! She could see that the leader of the lizardmen was also nervous and his bloodlust was completely overshadowed by Dracula's bloodlust! This wasn't even a contest from the beginning! He was always going to lose!

Slowly, Talia could see how the leader of the lizardmen reduced his bloodlust and turned away with a look of annoyance. Talia smiled internally and she was glad that she went to get the help of Dracula instead of anyone else. They might be able to silently handle his conflict without any problems! Dracula reduced his bloodlust as well and he finally began the talk with the leader of the lizardmen.
