The dragon's harem

”Yes. A dragonʼs biggest fear is losing their loved one. That is the true reason they seek strong partners. Scholars might say itʼs so their children get born strong, and make the draconic race stronger, pushing selective evolution toward strength and nothing else, but Iʼll tell you all of that is a load of crap. Dragons are greedy, narcissistic, self-centered prideful, and haughty elemental lizards with wings. They donʼt care about their race or anything else, but if a dragon is to love another dragon and take them as a partner, that partner better be strong enough not to get killed while the other partner is out.”

”If we didnʼt get to him, he would have kept rampaging until either he died or killed all of the dream walkers in the world,” Sena mumbled.

”Sofia, the second Tiamat. Alice, The queen of hell Asmodeus. Selena, the god eater Maharaja. Gracie, The death. All of them suffered what happened to Arad, but in their case, it was a reality and not a dream.” Cain sighed, ”I donʼt want Arad to end up like them,”

”He wonʼt destroy the world with you around,” Sena glared at the paper.

”Iʼm an observer of his growth, nothing more so donʼt rely on me and instead make sure both you and Arad are up to par and face the world with caution. If he were to destroy the world and kill everyone, Iʼll not stop him.” He stated.

”Arad isnʼt a monster, he wonʼt destroy the world even if he could,” Sena glared back at the paper.

”Donʼt test a dragonʼs patience. For me, at least, the metallic dragons endeavor is a pipe dream, and the chromatics view on the world is closer to truth.”

Click! The officeʼs door opened, and Selica walked in with a teapot and two glasses.

”We have a guest?” Sena stared at her, ”Or is that for you?”

”I wouldʼve wished it was for me, but we do indeed have a guest,” She put the teapot and cups on the table and turned toward the wall.

A blazing portal emerged, and from it, a devil in a suit walked out, ”Landlord, lady, and mistress of the living and alive. Barony Alony, a humble devil of the second layer of hell, at your service.” He bowed gently, waving his hand.

”What would a devil want from me?” Sena glared at him, ”Iʼm sure I said Iʼll kill any one of you that comes here after that last fool,”

Alony shook his hands, ”Not a bit! Iʼm not here for trouble at all. Iʼm only to deliver this,” He pulled a scroll and handed it to Selica, who passed it to Sena.

”This is a contract,” She scratched her head, ”So youʼre here to collect a debt, by from who?”

”Sadly, my client is already dead,” The devil shook his head.

”I canʼt bring them to life if thatʼs what youʼre after,” She then stared at the contract, ”But since the contract didnʼt burn, I guess you can still collect it?”

”My client did account for her own death and made it possible for me to collect the payment from her daughter. The two signed the contract eighteen years ago,” The devil smiled, ”Itʼs but a small payment, and I only ask the contract to be delivered to her so she can be notified to pay in the urgent future.”

”I can read the contract?”

”Do as you wish,”

Sena opened the scroll and gasped, ”Roberta?!”

”Yes,” The devil nodded.

”But, how could she...AWW!” Sena growled, scratching her head as she realized, ”Sheʼs twenty-one years old. That means she was only three years old when her mother made her sign the contract. And I donʼt have the right to burn this thing...”

”Worry not, lady Sena.” The devil lifted one finger, stating with enthusiasm and a large smile, ”I do not seek money, servitude, or her soul. Iʼm not such a pathetic fool.”

CLACK! He took a step forward, standing with his arm raised up and he then slowly lowered it, pointing at the wall, ”I only seek her motherʼs goal! Isdis Lior Ruris, and Robertaʼs father, my clientʼs husband. Their heads on the ground must roll.”

”Their souls, in the wasteland of the abyss, must stroll. Fed on by the demons, they must be their stool.” The devil smiled, flicking his fingers and a fiery portal appeared behind him.

”Leave that copy to the lady, I shall be in my house in the hells, waiting for my payment to roll, or else, itʼs all for the ghouls,” He moonwalked backward into the portal.

”Canʼt you kill the bastard?” Selica stared at Sena.
