"Please young master."
"No, that's too weird."
"But I-"
"I can put on the clothes myself, please don't make this hard for me."
"But it's my duty."
"Not with me it isn't"
"But-"
"Hey, where do you think you're touching?!"
"A-apologies young master, I was trying to-"
Reign and Fiorina quarreled as the young maid was trying to dress Reign who was vehemently against it. When in Rome do as Romans, that was the old saying, well Reign didn't really care for it as in his opinion getting undressed and then dressed by another person was simply too weird. Even though he knew that the young maid was only trying to do her job he still refused her.
Of course, Fiorina wasn't going to give up that easily, during their quarrel she made multiple efforts to take off Reign's clothes, and right now he was standing topless in front of her with the belt on his pants being unbuckled. The muscular body in front of her made Fiorina blush a bit as even though she was trained to be a good maid she never came in contact with other boys and was still a bit shy when coming in close proximity with them.
Of course, she tried to do her best and hide her feelings but that couldn't escape Reign who was many times more powerful than her, each of her movements was perfectly captured by him and even though he was standing half-naked in front of the young girl he didn't feel any sense of embarrassment.
"Alright, alright."
"Yes?" Fiorina smiles as she hears Reign's words, but quickly her smile freezes as he listens to the rest of his sentence.
"You can take off my clothes, but I'm not going to be the only naked person here, so take off your clothes as well."
"Huh?"
"You heard me, if you want to clothe me then do you have to do it naked."
The young girl froze dead in her tracks as Reign had a mocking smile on his face. He had realized that even though the young maid tried her best to behave professionally and put a brave face in front of him, she was still quite shy and probably never had any intimate relations with a person of the other sex.
His plan to make her leave the room was simple, simply make her too embarrassed to stay here any longer, and judging by the red color her face had turned into it was quite a successful one.
"I-I'll leave the young master to it then!" Fiorina quickly ran out of the room and closed the door before entering her room and falling down on the bed, her face was as red as a tomato as she was still in a daze after Reign's proposition.
Back in his room Reign had put on the formal wear that was given to him, a white shirt made out of silk and a beige vest were on his upper body while he had beige linen pants on and a pair of leather shoes.
The shirt was a perfect fit for Reign and accentuated his muscles while the pants were comfy and didn't bother him in the slightest when wearing them. When it came to the shoes he didn't wear the ones that were given to him but wore his own as they were Rank B, the same went for his belt, necklace, earring, and gloves. All of the other pieces of equipment he had were rank A and he could summon them with ease so there was no need to wear them right now.
Reign waited in his room until he heard someone knocking on his door, upon opening his door he was greeted by two guards who stood on each side of the door while respectfully telling him that they were there to escort him to the banquet. Even though a lot of people were upset by Reign's actions in the throne room, no one could deny that the young man was incredibly powerful and the soldiers didn't dare show any sign of hostility or displeasure toward him.
The trip to the banquet hall took over 10 minutes, as soon as Reign entered the giant hall a man at the entrance announced him which made everyone stop what they were doing and stare at him in interest.
"Well, tonight is going to be interesting," Reign whispered as he was able to feel a couple of hostile gazes in the crowd, without even bothering with them he walked toward a giant table that had food and drinks on it.
…
"Patriarch, please reconsider, he has just entered the secret chamber, we can still do something!" An elder of the dragon race pleaded with the patriarch of the dragons as over 20 people were seated at a giant stone table. Raziel and Vajra had arrived a couple of hours ago and after hearing that the patriarch had promised Raziel a look into their secret chamber that contained not only the full history of the dragon race but even their most powerful secret techniques the elders all became shocked.
"Yes, I and the others all understand the reason why you promised him this, to lose a Supreme expert would truly be a blow to us, but if that person was to use our secrets against us or if he were to give them to others it would be a disaster to our whole race, please allow us to use the array and drive him out of here!"
"Yes, please allow us, Patriarch!"
"SILENCE!!"
A terrifying shout suddenly echoed through the meeting chamber as a man sitting next to the patriarch stood up. The tall man looked at all the elders with fury as they all looked down at the table, none dared to look him in the eye as he was another Supreme of the dragon race, one of the oldest dragons alive and one that was considered to be amongst the top Supremes in the universe, Eindeart "The Devourer of Stars".
"That's enough Eindeart, so you wish to use our most powerful weapon and drive out the person that had spared the life of one of our own in exchange for staying in the chamber for 7 days huh?"
"W-we understand that it is not an honorable thing to do, but patria-"
"Do not speak, none of you deserve the right to talk right now." An intense pressure suddenly landed on the powerful elders of the dragon race, even Eindeart who was standing next to the patriarch was able to feel the incredible power that was being released by him, not even he would be able to stand against it for even a moment."
"I will tell you why I allowed him to enter the secret chamber, the place that holds everything our dragon race considers holy, even the life of a Supreme isn't enough to exchange for something like that, a peek into it would be more valuable."
"Use the array and drive him out, how laughable, if something of that level was able to do that to that person that he wouldn't be considered the most powerful being alive, he was the one who participated in its creation after all."
"The chamber that holds all of our secrets?"
"He had entered that place before any of you were even conceived you, idiots, the only reason he wanted to enter it was because he wanted to see if I and the other experts of our race had managed to break through and create new secret techniques after so much time."
The words of the patriarch were like bombs that were being set off in the minds of the elders. That person had participated in the creation of the array that shielded their dragon race, he had entered the secret chamber even before they were born?
How was that possible, even though the patriarch was the oldest living dragon that had existed even back in the golden era of their race when they ruled over a vast territory of the universe, there were still some of them here that were only a couple of centuries younger than him, even though that mind seem a long time, all of them were Gods and their live spans were almost infinite, each one had lived for millions of years already.
"The only reason our dragon clan exists right now is that that man saved us during the Great War eons ago, without his mercy I'm afraid that perhaps we would have already been an extinct race or one that got enslaved."
Gulp.
The many elders all gulped nervously after hearing his words, all of them knew about the Great War, eons ago the dragons had an arch-enemy and after many years of skirmishing and fighting one another they had finally started a war. The war lasted for many millennia and it was during that time that the patriarch was born, the dragons managed to come out victorious in the end but their numbers had dwindled down and most of their top experts had died.
"We lost, in the war against those bastards we were the ones that lost, it was only when that man showed up and helped us that we survived, his immortal legion swept over our enemy and destroyed them while he made sure that the whole universe knew that we were under his protection, of course in return he wanted access to our secret chamber, it's laughable now that I remember, he even asked us for access even though he could have easily walked into it without any of us stopping him."
The patriarch sighs in sadness as he remembered the days when the dragon race fell to the very bottom of the food chain, the most powerful amongst them was a mere Low God that was already injured and could barely fight, it was only with the joint efforts of the whole dragon clan that they were able to make a return and rise to once again become a powerful force in the universe. Even now however the power of the dragon race was still slightly weaker compared to back then, that was just how bad of a defeat they had gone through.
