 Dragon King''s Harem Chapter 139. We are The Same III

 Once she came out of the king''s office, S chased Marissa.

 "Lady Marissa," she called.

 Marissa stopped her steps and turned to S.

 "Yes, Lady S."

 "Can S, have a word with you?"

 Marissa smiled faintly. But her sadness and worry were still evident on her face.

 "Sure. What do you want to talk about?" The letter and everything Argod had said filled her mind so she actually wanted to be alone for a while. But on the other hand, she knew S also had the same problem and position as her.

 "S wants to talk privately. We can talk in S''s room," she added. But then she remembered that her room was a mess and her traps were still there. Not a single maid or servant dared to enter her room since they didn''t want to take the consequences.

 "I mean your room. S''s room is a little messy," she corrected her words.

 "Please follow me, Lady S," Marissa replied.

 They walked side by side towards the southern section where the guest rooms were located.

 Marissa decided to find out what it was about so she could prepare herself.

 "May I know what you want to talk about? Is it about the king or the other one?" She meant the war between their tribes.

 "Mostly the other one, but I''ll probably talk about the king a bit," said S, trying to keep up her pace even though Marissa was already walking slower than usual.

 "I see..." Marissa replied.

 After that, they walked in silence. Their minds were lost in their own thoughts. S thought about how she could ask Marissa without hurting her. While Marissa thought about what she should do next. Even though Marissa had to follow her father''sst request, something was bothering her.

 Dilemma, guilt and sadness apany the two of them. Till Marissa opened her voice, breaking their Silence.

 "Forgive me," she said out of the blue.

 "For?" asked S.

 "For what the Nymph Queen will do and for my family''s inability to stop it," she said in a gloomy tone.

 S shook her head from side to side and looked at Marissa softly.

 "It''s not your fault. Your family has put in a lot of effort to stop her. So have you. You''ve lost a lot. How could I me you?"

 But Marissa was silent. From her face, it was clear that it wasn''t enough to ease the guilt in her heart.

 Upon her gloomy expression, S held Marissa''s hand.

 "Cheer up. At least you can prevent what will happen next," she tried to remain optimistic.

 Marissa turned to S and looked at her without saying a word. Slowly, a bitter smile blossomed on her lips before she returned her gaze to the front.

 "You''re right... I can''t waste my parents... My family''s sacrifice." Marissa realized that there was nothing she could do at this point except move forward and fight for justice for her dead family.

 Marissa and S entered the room. S''s steps stopped, her eyes looking into the room. Although the room was simr to hers, S''s room was in a mess. She didn''t know how long the servants and maids hadn''t cleaned it. She even decided to stay there longer while she should be able to move to the western section since she was too busy to make Argod''s orders. While she couldn''t allow the maids to touch her inventions carelessly.

 "Take a seat, Lady S," said Marissa, sitting on the sofa.

 "Thank you." S sat on the single sofa nearby. The sofa made her body look smaller, not to mention her legs couldn''t reach the floor so she could swing them back and forth like a kid.

 "What do you want to talk about?" Marissa opened their conversation.

 S''s gaze turned serious.

 "About the Nymph Tribe... Do you know the reason why the queen chose Dwarves as her first target?" The only thing in the letter was that the queen decided to expand the territory. But the Nymph tribe was surrounded by 4 other tribes besides Dwarf. Apart from that, the Dwarf territory was a bit smallpared to the others. So she guessed the queen had other reasons besides that.

 "It''s because that territory is near ours and your king''s. She knows the Dwarf King''s short temperament. Also because..." Marissa''s words trailed off. Even though this was the main reason why the queen had chosen that territory, she was a bit hesitant to say it. She was sure this would offend S.

 Secretly, Marissa stole a nce at S who was waiting eagerly for what she said.

 "Just say it," said S. She realized, from Marissa''s hesitation, this was definitely a bad thing.

 After Marissa took a deep breath, she continued her words.

 "The Queen said, since the Dwarves have small bodies, the poison should be able to spread faster. So it''s her easiest target."

 Silently, although she hated to admit this, the Nymph Queen was right. Despite Dwarves'' great strength, due to their small bodies, they were more susceptible to the poison. They were easy targets for poison users like the Nymph tribe.

 "Forgive me," said Marissa.

 S shook her head side to side again and smiled.

 "It''s fine. It''s a fact. S can''t deny it either. At least S knows that stupid king didn''t do anything that makes other tribes angry." Previously, she thought The Dwarf King had done something to offend the Nymph Queen.

 Her statement tickled Marissa''s curiosity over what happened to S.

 "Lady S... I heard the Dwarf king executed your Family for a petty mistake," she said in caution, trying not to offend S.

 "Yes." She smiled bitterly. Her eyes stared at the distance as her memories reyed in her head.

 "The Dwarf King was interested in a small town and wanted it. A town that he could use to take his family on vacations. It was a town built by my father. Actually, it was an economic town that can be used to help the poor surrounding viges. The Dwarf King also agreed to it when my father made his proposal, but the king changed his mind after he visited it. He wanted to turn the town into his big vi."

 Then S''s anger grew clearer in her eyes.

 "My father opposed him and asked him to think about his people rather than his ego. But that stupid king wouldn''t listen. Just for that stupid reason, the king used my family of treason and sentenced us to death. That town was confiscated because it was considered as proof of my father''s betrayal even though it was the stupid king himself who had approved it. "
