I Received System to Become Dragonborn



King Gulben looked at Aurdis with narrowed eyes. His aura lashed out to her making her staggered where she stood.

For a moment, Aurdis regretted her actions because she had said something without thinking too carefully. But then, she realized that what she said wasn't entirely her fault.

That's because in her mind, her father was just an irresponsible king.

"(You better watch your mouth when talking to your father,)" said King Gulben. His tone sounded calm and even, but both Aurdis and Aerchon knew that behind that calmness there was a dangerous wave.

Something that if they force to push it further, then they can't help but have to bear its consequences.

Sometimes many forget the real power of the Elf King because he has been dormant for too long. And then he showed it, Aurdis and Aerchon could only shuddered in fear.

"(Sorry, father. Aurdis has been through a lot and the problems that have happened recently have made her and I nervous.)" Aerchon immediately calmed his father with his words.

The aura released by King Gulben began to dissipate until it finally disappeared completely from the room. Aurdis and Aerchon breathed a sigh of relief.

"(What problem actually happened, that my own daughter, whom I haven't seen for a long time, now wants to come?)" King Gulben asked.

"(It was a matter related to the survival in this world, father,") Aerchon answered his father's question.

King Gulben's brow furrowed at his words. "(Did you just say the survival of this world?)"

Aerchon nodded.

"(So you're saying the whole world is being threatened by this problem, not just the us?)"

"(Yes, father. We have seen for ourselves the signs of the calamity. On our way here we were confronted by a Flamefoul.)"

Hearing Aerchon's reply once again frowned deeply. As if he couldn't believe his ears.

"(A Flamefoul? In this territory?)"

Aerchon nodded. When King Gulben turned to Aurdis she also nodded but with a hard expression still on her face.

Knowing that his two children said the same thing made King Gulben have no other choice but to believe what they say. Even though it does sound too shocking.

Once he know that a Flamefoul is already in the area of ​​the road leading here, which is very far from where it usually is, then it is clear that something very wrong has indeed happened in this world.

But, is it true that the scale of the problem involves the whole world?

King Gulben turned towards his wife's sarcophagus which was about one meter from the stone chair where he was sitting. She laying under a slab of cold stone.

If he were to leave her, alone and go to his Palace, wouldn't she be lonely here?

"(You can handle this problem yourself, don't you?")

King Gulben's words made Aerchon look up and unconscionably clench his fist.

Aurdis on the far side had been clenching her fist from the start. But now her father's words made her even more angry.

"(I can't lead, father. I don't have enough ability to lead our people,)" Aerchon said through gritted teeth. "(If you don't come back as soon as possible... then our kingdom will be doomed for certain.)"

"(I can't-)"

"(FATHER!)" Aerchon finally snapped. With burning eyes he looked up and looked at Gulben. "(Mother is already dead! You have to let her go. You are our only hope to get through this problem.)"

King Gulben wanted to return his lashing aura to his son's insolent attitude. However, he soon saw his expression and eyes.

King Gulben froze for a few seconds, not knowing what to do. Aerchon's words actually leave an impact on his heart.

From Aerchon and Aurdis' eyes he could clearly see the pain and struggle that it felt like they had both endured for longer than he should know.

That's when he thought back to his wife who was lying down. Her last words before she completely disappeared from his life echoed inside the king's head.

"(I leave our beloved children to you.)"

Now, King Gulben saw for himself how his two children were in front of him with expressions full of pain and struggle. Doesn't that mean he has betrayed his wife's last will?

But, once again, the King turned towards his wife's grave. He still finds it so hard to leave her.

"(I need time to think,)" said King Gulben. "(You two get out of here for now.)"

Hearing that both Aerchon and Aurdis sighed. They almost felt hopeless.

Without saying anything else, Aerchon told Aurdis to get out. Aurdis stomped her feet before walking out ahead of Aerchon.

Aerchon glanced briefly, then shook his head. He came out following Aurdis with drooped shoulders.

King Gulben went to his wife's sacrophagus when his two children were gone and then opened the stone lid. His wife's face is still immortalized in time Magic when she smiles.

But she's not there anymore. Her soul is gone and Gulben knows very well about it. Yet, he couldn't accept the reality.

lightsΝοvel "(What should I do, Thandis?)" the king muttered beside his wife's body.

Once again her last words rang in Gulben's head. She entrusted their children to him, yet he neglected them like this.

"(So, is that what I should do?)" Gulben asked. A bitter smile appeared on his face. "(Then, let me spend my last time here with you just for a moment. Before I really leave.)"

The Elf King just stared at his wife silently for several minutes. He didn't want to leave her but his children needed him.

So, maybe he is indeed supposed to go to them. Until the time comes for him to get back together with his wife. 

King Gulben let out a long sigh. He's been in that position for a long time, he doesn't know exactly for how long. Once he felt he had enough he walked towards the exit of the room.

He stepped out of the building. When he came out, all the Elves who were building camp outside immediately froze and turned to him with shocked expressions.
