Mythical Slayer: Mythical Girls Contract

While Kai was in the Dragon King Castle, the group of four returned to the US. They took a plane this time, and Ibaraki acted like a curious child who had just boarded the plane for the first time.

They boarded a plane because Amber was still tired from healing Kai, and her Spirit Power had yet to be fully restored. The Phoenix girl could've replenished her Spirit Power in Romania, but it seemed like some upheaval would be happening, so they ran away.

Yes, they didn't want to get involved in the politics of other Races, especially the vampires, as it wouldn't give them any benefit, just trouble. It was Robert who suggested they leave early, and they were really grateful.

"I wonder what Kai is doing right now," Amber muttered, looking out at the window on her right. Ibaraki sat on her left, and the couple sat behind them.

"Since the Dragon King took him, I can't feel his presence. Our connections are also cut off due to the barrier that hid the Dragon King Castle…" She added, letting out a worried sigh.

"Amber," Ibaraki called out. "You said we should just wait for him while we try to grow ourselves."

"Fufufu, you're right." She turned to Ibaraki and smiled. "I bet Kai is having fun with the Dragon King right about now. Did you realize that she called him 'husband'?"

"T-That's…"

That happened. Both of them knew that Ao had made a contract with Kai when he was unconscious. Something that Amber also did without his permission. Hence, Amber also couldn't blame the Dragon King as she also did the same.

The Phoenix girl chuckled slightly at Ibaraki's flustered face. She then turned around, looking out at the window again, as she let the Oni girl settle herself.

'I hope the Dragon King can teach him something I can't. I just wanted Kai to be safe.'

After breakfast, Ao got dressed in blue and golden clothes that looked like ancient Chinese, with some gaudy decorations on her shoulder and hair. She also tied her hair in a high twin-tail and spun around in front of Kai after she was done.

"How is it, dear?" She asked with a smile. "This is this lady's usual clothes. Is it to your liking?"

"Yeah." Kai nodded, praising her. He also wore similar attire, like an ancient Chinese robe. But the color of his clothes was primarily blue, unlike Ao's, whose clothes were mostly golden. "Those clothes suit you. It increases your charm and charisma, I think."

"That's great." She nodded firmly. A happy smile plastered on her face as she stood next to Kai. "Dear husband. Maybe this lady's behavior will be different outside this room. I was told a few times that I looked scary, and my eyes looked sharp, but please don't worry. This lady is still herself."

Ao looked at Kai with her sharp eyes. There was a glint of sheer power hidden deep inside. She was a bit worried.

She was the Dragon King. A domineering attitude was expected from her. Her movement needed to be filled with power to make her servants and subordinates look at her with awe and make her enemies fear her. Such was the duty of the Dragon King.

However, in front of Kai, she was his wife. A loving and supporting attitude was something that she wanted to show him. Hence, she actually didn't want to show her side of the King in front of him. She was afraid he would change his attitude toward her after seeing it.

But Kai didn't think so at all. He noticed her worry. After the fight with the Boogeymen, his sense was enhanced further, and his innate ability was clearer. He could feel someone else's mood and felt a bit better now.

Maybe it was the effect of his contract with the Dragon King. He looked at the area around her neck. Hidden slightly behind the golden collar was a blue mark that marked their contracts.

Still, he also understood her position. She was the Dragon King, the King of all Dragons, and she needed an attitude that fit her position. Instead of disliking that, Kai even thought he needed to act properly so he wouldn't embarrass her.

He was the Ruler, and he had fully accepted that title. He would act like one if it helped him seek what he wanted. And he was done with holding back.

"Sure." So he nodded at her. "Should I walk a step behind, or should I walk beside you? I don't mind your choice."

"Obviously, you're walking on this lady's side, dear husband." She replied with a smile.

"The Ruler has the same position as this lady. If any of the servants said otherwise, they would be punished. Besides, this lady plans to announce her marriage with you today, and we will start your training tomorrow after you fully recover."

"So it's all just a party?"

"That's the plan. The servants must've already finished the preparation. So let's get to the throne room to greet them."

"Right now?" Kai asked, confused.

"Yes, right now," Ao confirmed with a firm nod.

'Isn't it too fast? I haven't prepared myself or a speech yet.'

***

The Dragon King Castle throne room was a big hall with many cushions and small tables, similar to the Castle of an ancient Chinese. Various candle lights were lit and hung on majestic red pillars with golden dragons coiling around them.

The floor was made from mahogany woods, and the wall was painted golden over a white slab of stones.

A small staircase was at the end of the room, connected to two gigantic red doors with a red carpet between the tables and cushions. The furniture was made to face the end of the room, where two golden thrones stood majestically.

The throne's backrest looked like two male and female dragons, coiling against each other and meeting in the middle.

Usually, there was only one chair, a female dragon with a red streak. But today, for some reason that the audience and the official didn't understand, there were two chairs.

Many dragons, from red to blue dragons, turned into their human form and sat on the cushion. At first glance, there were more than a hundred, and their appearance differed.

On the left side of the red carpet were female dragons. Their kin was mostly composed of water and wind dragons. Most of them looked beautiful, putting idols and actresses to shame.
