Chapter 86: A Guest (1/2)

Akash shook his head and came back to his senses before sighing and looking at his surroundings. His eyes landed on the dragon who was silently looking at Akash. He couldn't feel any enmity from the dragon who had a high level of cultivation. Akash was about to speak but the dragon was more impatient, speaking first.

”O' most esteemed being, may I have the honor of learning your name?”

Akash smiled then replied.

”I am King Akash Tagar.”

The dragon was not shocked but he was curious, a 1st Star tamer was claiming to be a king. Normally, this would have created a peal of laughter, but the dragon clearly felt a strong draconic bloodline in Akash. The youth in front of him was clearly an enigmatic figure.

”May I know you domain, Esteemed King?”

Lava Dragon respectfully asked another question.

”My kingdom has two dukedoms, I killed Black Dragon and Golden Panther joined me as my subordinate. This mountain is also part of my territory.”

This time, Akash successfully shocked the dragon. This was unbelievable to him, but the dragon had to accept this outlandish reality. He had seen Golden Panther scouting the surrounding mountain. However, he never paid attention or cared. But now, the pieces were coming together. Golden Panther was visiting his king for an entire year, every day.

The dragon was hesitant now and pondered.

”If he can kill Black Dragon, there is a possibility that he could kill me too.”

The dragon nodded his head and asked.

”Are a you descendant of a dragon race?”

Akash understood the reason behind such a question, so he responded right away.

”Yes, I am.”

Akash hid the truth and simply gave the reply that the dragon sought after which Lava Dragon stayed silent for a moment before speaking again.

”Esteemed sir, will you allow me to live on this mountain like I've been till now?”

Akash didn't have to think, he knew that this Lava Dragon was not a foe. He had been living here peacefully without him even knowing. If he had wanted to do something, then he would have already done it long ago. Akash looked him, nodded his head.

”Just be sure to not do anything that might be in conflict with my own interests.”

Akash warned him and the dragon shook his head before replying.

”I have never interfered with Golden Panther or the duke before him. Your Excellency can rest assured.”

Feeling a bit curious and inquisitive, Akash asked something else.

”You are quite powerful, why haven't you joined any dukedom till now? Is it because you lack an army?”

The respondent remained silent. Akash's curiosity was raised even further, and he asked the same question again, but with a graver tone.

”Unfortunately, I cannot tell you the reason.”

Lava Dragon replied and Akash before moving out of the mountain. The dragon thought that the new king would force him to spill the beans. Seeing the behaviour of Akash, he stated.

”I am a fugitive. Thus, I simply want to live a low-profile life and not bother anyone or be bothered myself.”

Akash's floating stopped, he turned his head and asked again.

”Whom are you running away from?”

The reptile answered in a light voice.

”From an empire.”

Akash's eyes widened. This beast was a fugitive of gigantic powerhouse on this planet.

”Which empire and why?”

”Your Majesty, apologies, but I cannot reveal any more than that.”

Akash sighed.

”I understand, you can continue to live here, no one will disturb you.”

”Thank you, Esteemed King.”

The beast replied. He was never afraid of anyone, regardless of their position before meeting this enigmatic and mysterious youth. He hadn't even asked permission to live here from Golden Panther even though he was living in his domain. When it came to Akash however, he felt intimated because of 3 things and was acting extremely carefully because of them.
