The dragon's harem

Arad barely managed to finish all of Isdis’s missions by the late afternoon. He came back and rested on his chair. “I hope this is all,” He sighed with an exhausted face. But, he was more exhausted mentally than physically.

“Exhusted?” Rey approached Arad with a smile.

“Sister, he’s exhausted,” Ray added.

Arad stared at them and smiled, “Not really. Tell me again, why did I have to find an old lady’s dog that got missing?”

Isdis stared at him, “Grandma Rina. She’s the city’s cheese master,” She stood from her chair, packing all the papers into the drawers. “Due to her skills and age, she’s specially protected by the royal family.”

Arad stood as he saw Isdis about to leave, “That reminds me, Baltos likes cheese.”

“Father was the one to sponsor her in the past. From what I heard, she was but a farm girl before she found father.” Isdis and Arad walked out of the office with Rey and Ray walking behind them.

“She found him?”

“Dead drunk in the middle of the street.” Isdis replied with a giggle, “She didn’t recognize him as the king. But thought he was a drunkard.”

Rey approached Arad, “Dept collectors for a local gang happened to approach her the next day, and his majesty was the one to open the door.”

“His Majesty was strong at the time. He wiped the ground with the gang members and raided their base alone.” Ray added.

Isdis stared back at them, “Rey, Ray, get the bath ready for us. Arad has been working for the whole day, and I need a massage to my back after sitting all day.”

The two maids bowed and then rushed forward.

Thud! Thud! As the maids rushed across the hallway, Charlie opened his office door and walked out, his maid cracking her neck beside him.

Charlie looked at Isdis and Arad, “Busy day, sister?”

“I got help,” Isdis replied with a smile as Charlie’s maid bowed slightly in the back.

Charlie looked at Arad and then at Isdis, “If you call this 140kg of muscles and manhood a mere help, you’re awfully wrong,” He laughed, “Just today I got several reports of him decimating everything in his wake. Just seeing him carry that boulder from here made me hat my scrawny ass,”

“What could I say…” Isdis smiled, “I have nice assets,”

“What assets? He’s the working force of a whole kingdom.” Charlie looked at Arad, “What did they feed you to get that big?”

“I trained under Alcott, Nina, and Alina’s archwizard Merlin. I had to get strong to keep up,” Arad replied, the story he and Isdis decided to keep. The secret of Arad’s strength is that he was trained by other talented s-ranks.

“I never thought the day would come when I hear that killing machines could teach people.” Charlie could only remember Alcott causing trouble and Nina being an absolute menace.

As they talked, Thomas walked in, “You seem to have finished your work as well,”

Charlie stared at him with a smile, “Didn’t expect you to finish on time. Did you make a decision about our idiot brother?”

Thomas paused for a second, “He would mostly be exiled to the Dead Sea. We can’t really execute him without causing a lot of trouble,”

Isdis scratched her chin, “Other countries might try to interfere,”

“That’s true,” Charlie sighed, “I was hoping we could feed him wyvern poison and watch him slowly die like a worm under the sun,”

“That cruel,” Thomas stared at Charlie.

“I don’t care, he fed the sacrifice Sebas wyvern poison. So technically, he tried to kill our father with it.” Charlie stared at Thomas, “It would be only fair to kill him like that,”

“I would gladly punch him one last time,” Arad said in the back and Charlie stared at him with a smile, “That also would be fun,”

“As I said, exiling him is the most sensible course of action. At least until one of us secures the throne, or our father recovers well enough to deliver that punishment himself.” Charlie scratched his head, “If I were to sentence him to death, people would think I sat him up from the start and I would lose most of my chances to the crown.”

“Not that you have much,” Thomas stared at him with a wry smile.

“Don’t forget about me,” Isdis stared at them, “The throne is mine. Or do you want him after your heads?” She pointed at Arad.

“Hell no!” Charlie gasped, “Look at those arms, they are thicker than my waist. He could use me like a jumping rope for all I’m worth!” He took a few steps back.

“Lady Isdis,” Rey came from behind them, “The bath is ready,” Ray said from behind her.

“I’m coming,” Isdis replied with a smile. She turned and waved her hand, “See you later,”

She and Arad left, following Rey and Ray to the bath.

Soon after, they reached the bath’s door. Rey opened it, Isdis and Arad walked inside and Ray closed the door.

Inside the changing room, Arad looked around and saw the two bathmaids there, Rey and Ray as well, “Lot,” He sighed.

“What?” Isdis asked, looking at him as his face became a bit worried.

“Too much,” He pointed at the two bathmaids and Rey and Ray, “Extra women,”

“Do they bother you?” She replied and Arad shook his head, “No, it’s just strange.”

Rey looked at Arad, “It can get out of hand sometimes. They work here as bath maids, while we’re Lady Isdis’s personal maids. Situations like this happen quite often.”

“Lord Arad doesn’t have a maid?” Ray asked with a puzzled face. “Someone of your power should already have a dozen servants,”

“I don’t,” Arad replied.

Isdis stared at him, “What about Tina? But I guess she’s more like a housemaid.”

“You think so?” Arad started taking off his shirt, “I never treated anyone like a maid,”

“That’s true as I never saw you order her around.” Isdis giggled, “Aella handled that part,”

“Sir Arad, we will help you,” The two bathmaids approached Arad while Rey and Ray helped Isdis.

Arad lifted his hand to stop them, “Look, I figured out a new trick,” With a smile, all his clothes disappeared in the blink of an eye. “I can hide them in my storage,” He lifted his hand, “And drop them away,” The clothes fell in the basket to the side.
