Chapter 16. Bizarre Dinner


    <span>Dragon King''s Harem Chapter 16. Bizarre Dinner


    <span>My feet strode quickly toward my chamber. I raised my hand as I arrived in front of it, ordering my guards to stop following me. But before I got into it, an ample woman with long brown hair in a bun with a motherly face approached me. A mark of servant on the back of her right hand and some maids in tow followed her. Based on my memory, her name was Sarah. She was the pce housekeeper who was responsible for preparing all my needs, such as preparing my bath, my clothes and my food.


    <span>They bowed respectfully.


    "Good Evening, Your Majesty. We had your dinner ready," said Sarah.


    <span>Her words made me realize my hungry stomach. I just remembered I hadn''t touched any food since I woke up. Not to mention that I had been practising on the training ground for hours and having sex 3 times today.


    "I will have my dinner in my room," I ordered. Igixar''s food and drink were different from my original world''s. So instead of eating it in the dining hall, as usual, I decided to eat in my room.


    <span>"We will deliver it to your chamber, Your Majesty." They bowed once again before they left. Meanwhile, I stepped my feet into my room.


    <span>The door behind me closed, I stopped and swept my gaze into the room. A weird shapedmp on the desk caught my eye.


    "There you are," I muttered with a smirk and walked over to it.


    <span>Thatmp glowed in warm light and shaped like a rose mixed with trichosanthes, some short tendrils swayed like jellyfish tentacles around it. Although it looked like an Igixar''s antiquemp, it was the Royal Dragon''s secret storage. That strange mp'' only reacted to the royal dragon bloodline and if someone tried to destroy it, it would turn into a high-level nt monster.


    <span>Without hesitation, I picked up a ck quill pen that was lying near the ink bottle and stabbed it to my index finger.


    <span>[You have taken 1 physical damage.]


    <span>A droplet of blood came out of the small wound. I put down the pen and brought my finger to the centre of themp. Themp tendrils clung to my finger and sucked my blood.


    <span>[You have taken 1 physical damage.]


    <span>But only briefly, the tendrils released it and the light slowly turned red. The flower centre that was shaped like a cannibal nt''s mouth opened, showing a golden ring with Dragon Crest of Draconis there.


    <span>"Sweet," I muttered with a smile. I was relieved that this ring was still in the same ce as my memory. My hand took it carefully, my eyes locked at the ring that glowed in red on my palm. I could feel mysterious mana power from it. I held the ring with my two fingers and slowly slid it on my other index finger. It was the Draconis Empire''s tradition to use their royal ring there to show their authority.


    <span>[Dimensional Ring has been equipped.]


    [Now you can ess storage.]


    <span>I grinned. This royal ring was also known as the dimensional ring. This was a special ring that belongs to the royal dragon, so he could ess the king''s personal vault easily.


    "Now I just have to take what I need."


    <span>* Knock * * Knock * * Knock *


    <span>Knocking sounds came.


    "Come in," I said.


    <span>The door opened, Sarah entered and bowed.


    "We want to deliver your dinner, Your Majesty," she asked my permission to let the servants into my room. ording to the Draconis Empire''s regtions, only people with a mark of servants such as Eir and Sarah or the mark of bride were allowed into the king''s chamber. Meanwhile, Evelina was given special permission to enter the king''s chamber since she was the royal healer.


    <span>"Let them in," I answered in a casual tone.


    <span>She gave me a slight nod and entered my room followed by several servants who pushed the small carts as well as several maids who quickly approached my personal dining table and tidied it up.


    <span>In less than a minute, they had reced my table''s tablecloth with new ones and arranged luxury tes and cutlery.


    <span>I approached the dining table, a servant swiftly pulled a chair for me and I sat on it. Soon, some weird dishes began to be ced before me one by one. They stepped back while I looked at those foreign foods in front of me, all of them looked weird and bizarre to me, but strangely I found it so appetizing. Besides that, the food smell stimted my appetite.


    <span>My first meal was a bowl of thick purple soup with some small ck chunks like strange irregr shaped pastina. Night Rice Drake Soup, that was this food name.


    <span>I took a deep breath to shake off my nervousness and grabbed a red spoon that was sparkling like a ruby. I knew that this food was a delicacy. It was only avable at a royalty table and also knew the taste was not as strange as it looked. But still, even with Argod''s memories, I found this food strange. Well, since I was a dragon king, I couldn''t have a stomachache from eating this food, right? Besides, I wouldn''t be able to find my original world''s food here.


    <span>''Here goes for nothing.'' I took a spoonful of it and popped it in my mouth. The thick cream soup was rich in vour. This strange soup''s taste was simr to a creamy mushroom soup and that strange shaped pastina was like a small chunk of chicken meat. My eyes widened.


    <i>''Damn! This is so delicious! '' </i>After that first bite, I started to take another spoonful with ease, but still in a polite manner. If the servants weren''t around maybe I would take the bowl and drink it straight from there. But as a dragon king, I had to maintain my manners. Yes, the Dragon tribe was a tribe that was different from the others including for manners. As creatures who symbolized honour and dignity, despite our great strength and power, we were concerned about manners and wisdom. But in battle or war, we were merciless creatures. We didn''t hesitate to kill our opponents or torture them. We were like two-sided creatures, wise and cruel.


    <span>I put down my spoon. A servant tidied up my empty bowl and ced a te filled with arge light green egg yolk in front of me. This Baked Faceless Mynah Bird Egg was a special dish that was very difficult to obtain because it came from the high-level monster. This dish was so nutritious for increasing stamina and energy. I took my knife and tore off the thinyer of gtin covering that strange yolk. Dark green transparent gnhi mixed with white mucus out of it. Without Argod''s memory, I would refuse to eat that disgusting food right away, even before trying it. I lowered my knife, picked up my spoon and took a spoonful of it.


    <span>Like before, this food didn''t taste as bad as its disgusting appearance. Those strange ''gnhi'' melted in my mouth like tender beef and the white mucus was like a thick stew with umami vour and spices. My hand continued to scoop that strange food into my mouth, now I didn''t care about its shape anymore.


    <span>Like before, after my te was empty, a servant tidied my te and ced my dessert. A dessert bowl containing an indigo egg withrge snake scales, Basilisk Egg Souffle. Unlike the previous meal, Basilisk Egg Souffle was not made of a real Basilisk, it just resembled that creature''s appearance.


    <span>I took my dessert spoon and tapped the tip of that strange egg to crack it. The egg opened and revealed a soft blue souffle cake inside. I took a bite, the chocte and cinnamon cake''s taste filled my mouth.


    <span>As I finished myst meal, a servant poured some water into my crystal ss and retreated to his position. The water colour was crystal clear with a thick fog that came out of the ss and flowed down like a waterfall. After my te was empty, I lowered my spoon and took my drink. Now, all my doubts about Igixar''s food and drink were gone. At least I could confirm that even though these foods and drinks were strange, the taste was simr to my original world''s food. That refreshing water flowed down my throat.


    <span>- Tak!


    <span>I put down my ss, indicating that I had finished my dinner and took a silk napkin to clean my mouth.


    <span>Swiftly, the servants tidied up the tes and cutlery. While Sarah approached me.


    "Your Majesty, is the food suited to your taste?" she asked politely.


    <span>"It''s perfect," I replied.


    <span>Sarah smiled happily with mypliment.


    "I''m d to hear that, Your Majesty."


    <span>Shortly, Sarah and the servants bowed to me.


    "We''ll take our leave, Your Majesty."


    <span>After I answered them with a slight nod, they walked out of my room.
