In My Favorite Novel As The Final Villain

"How do you know about my mother's curse?" asked Theos cautiously, analyzing every word the Dragon King would say next.

In the royal hall, silence reigned for a few brief seconds, before the King responded lazily:

"That's easy to answer... A few days, weeks, months, or years ago... I don't remember, but your father, Matheo Von Fallen, came to this Kingdom to seek a cure for the curse of your mother, Teressa Hydronia," he stated, his deep voice echoing throughout the royal hall.

Theos was shocked, since when had his father traveled to the Dragon Realm to obtain a cure for Teressa? There was never any mention of this in the novel.

Had he even tried to enter the dragon realm to get a cure? Not even Theos had imagined that Matheo had been so desperate.

And on further thought, his father could have searched even crazier places and locations. If what the Dragon King says is true, possibly Matheo had searched the Dragon Realm several years ago.

But he decided to eliminate these thoughts for now, concentrating on one thing only: searching for a cure for Luna's parents.

"I didn't come to look for a cure for my mother... Although I wish to have a cure for her curse, I know very well that my mother's curse is a very special curse and almost impossible to remove," after a pause, Theos continued with a solemn expression, "If I want to save my mother, I must become stronger... Stronger than anyone else."

The Dragon King nodded serenely, agreeing with Theos' words.

"So, if not for your mother... What exactly brings you here?" he asked.

Theos smiled slightly, observing Luna at his side. She looked serious and endlessly determined, being determined to take advantage of the opportunity he had bestowed upon her.

"I want to enter the Forest of Treasures of the Dragon Kingdom... To find the dragon's potion, the only cure I can think of to save my beloved's parents," Theos declared, staring at the King's reaction.

But he didn't react at all, again nodding in boredom. "Fine, but... What about the Church? As far as I know, several members of the Church could cure the condition of a curse that is not of your mother's degree," the King explained.

Despite the King's suggestion, Theos shook his head from side to side. "No... I have a bad feeling about the Church, I don't want to mess with them now," he stated.

He had said this to the Dragon King because he knew he wouldn't tell anyone, after all, isn't it a hidden realm? And in case he did tell anyone, he didn't care.

For a long time now the Church itself must already consider him their enemy. Their enmity will only deepen when, in a few days, Matheo makes public the destruction of the Decorators of the Dead sect thanks to Theos.

"Eh...", for the first time since Theos entered the room, the person in front of him finally showed an emotion other than indifference or boredom.

He had achieved a certain surprise... His eyes closed in boredom opened. "What do you know about the Church?" he asked.

"Nothing," Theos replied almost instantly, rendering any attempt at conversation about the Church completely dead.

The Dragon King seemed to understand this, so he did not continue. His expression and temperament gradually returned to the same.

"Well, I don't have much to think about, I'll let you enter the Forest of Treasures, though you should know very well the risk of going there," he stated.

Theos shrugged his shoulders. "I know very well what is there... Monsters, other Dragons, and even humans who have been locked in there, searching for items for thousands of years. The forest itself makes their soul gradually corrupt, after spending a great amount of time, they went mad and are now roaming the forest like beasts without control."

Theos' explanation earned both a surprised expression from Camila and curious eyes from Luna.

Camila couldn't understand how Theos, a human, seemed to understand so much about the dragon race and most of its secrets.

'Is the Fallen family that impressive? Or is this boy that smart?' she thought.

But the King did not react but praised. "Well, very well, I see you have informed yourself well... My name is Nakael, Nakael Draco, and I permit you to go to the Forest of Treasures on one condition."

Hearing the last words of Nakael's sentence, Theos frowned, still, he beckoned him to continue.

"I want you to take my daughters with you. She may be over 20, but I still see her as a bit immature; I think going there will suit her quite well," Nakael speculated.

Camila was perplexed to hear it. 'A little immature? Does my father have any idea what he's talking about?' she thought in shock.

However, Theos quickly nodded, agreeing with this condition.

And as if he had already foreseen Theos' confirmation, King Nakael snapped his fingers; from right there, a bunch of golden Mana particles traveled around the surroundings of the royal hall.

Slowly the golden Mana particles surrounded the entire hall, even making Nakael himself disappear.

The golden glow filled the sight of Theos, who had to squint his eyes to see slightly.

But not even 2 minutes passed until, under the surprised eyes of Luna, Camila, and Theos... The Mana particles disappeared, replaced by the landscape of a great golden forest, where great dragons were flying aimlessly and terrifying beasts were fighting each other.

But there was a problem... A serious problem.

"What... what... what... I'm falling!" cried Luna.

"Kyaa!", surprisingly, Camila followed her with a scream of her own.

They were plummeting towards the forest.

Theos saw the two of them, his eyes seemed to say: are they idiots?

'Did Camila forget that she is a Dragon and can make her wings appear to fly? And Luna forgot that she can make wings with her shadow? Even a shadow eagle...' he thought, rolling his eyes.
