The dragon's harem-Chapter 927: A meaningless argument

Mira and Isdis glared at each other. The tension rapidly grew and Arad didn't know what to do. "You have more training tomorrow; you can't exhaust yourself at night." Mira said with a

sharp glare.

"You are pregnant, you shouldn't put that much stress on your body." Isdis immediately replied, her eyes glowing blue.

"That doesn't matter." Mira stared at her with eyes burning with divine magic.

"It doesn't matter to me either, I'd rather have some stress relief than pure rest." Isdis smiled as her eyes shifted toward Arad, "And the cold seems to help me relax and recover faster."

Even though the argument slowly heated up, none of them started yelling. This wasn't an argument between two ordinary women, but it was between a demi-goddess and a princess, there was no place for petty yelling and insults.

"Do you remember how you woke up this morning? You were utterly wasted. Do you really think you can take that again and go train with that woman Isbert?" Mira said, sitting on her chair facing Isdis.

"I agree that I was, pretty wasted." Isdis smiled, "But I don't intend to let it repeat. On the other hand, won't it be even more dangerous for you to end up like that?"

"You speak as if it was Arad who did that to you." Mira smiled, "You're the one who kept asking for more until you had no space to fill. I'll not end up as you." She put one leg on another as divine magic started burning out of her skin, illuminating the room with a faint golden glow. "I can act as a healing beacon for Arad, what could you offer?"

"Is that what you have to say?" Isdis smiled as her body started getting colder and the faint blue glow of her magic started contesting with Mira's golden glow. "It's hot in this jungle, cold would help him recover faster, probably better than what your magic can achieve."

"Ah..." Arad looked at them with a scared and worried face, "Can you two calm down a bit... I'm not going anywhere."

The two glared at him, "No." They both growled and returned to their argument, leaving him sitting there.

Arad was a void dragon, and he could sense people's thoughts, he fully understood that those two were arguing in vain and that they both knew it. Mira and Isdis didn't care about what they were talking about, they only cared about getting to spend the night with him.

In short, Arad knew that both of them were extremely in the mood right now, and they wanted to get it done. Each of them wanted to be the first after he showed up looking bigger and leaner, and none of them was ready to give up.

Knowing that he couldn't support any of them on her argument; he knew that was meaningless. He can't choose one of them either as it'll make him favor one over the other, which was what troubled him. Even refusing them both for the night would only delay the problem till tomorrow, not solve it.

Knock! Knock! Everyone fell silent as someone started knocking on the door, "I hope I'm not bothering you." Tina called from the hallway, "Can I enter?"

"Come in." Arad replied before any of the two girls could speak, he wanted something to change the subject, and Tina had come just at the right time.

Before Mira or Isdis could protest, Tina had already opened the door and walked into the room, her eyes stopped at the two girls glaring at each other and then looked at Arad. "Did I come at a bad time?"

"No, not at all." Arad smiled, "What brought you here?"

"Serin and Ignis had spent the day playing and they are doing fine, but I suspect that Serin is getting a bit sad about not playing with you today. Ignis on the other hand didn't seem bothered at all." Tina looked at Arad.

"I guess they are already asleep now, it's too late at night. I'll put some time to play with them tomorrow." Arad replied with a smile, tapping the side of the bed for Tina to sit down. He didn't want her to leave so quickly and give Mira and Isdis an opening to start arguing again.

With careful steps, Tina slowly approached the bed and sat beside him. "Is there anything else? If it was just about that, you could've told me earlier or left it until tomorrow."

Tina looked at him with a serious face, "It's about Merlin, she's been preparing day and night for the coming fight. I think she's pushing herself a bit too far, the power gap between you and her must've grown wider today as well, am I wrong?"

Arad scratched his head, "I guess that's true... She doesn't need to keep trying to match me, I'm a dragon, not a humanoid." He was fully aware of his monstrous power and that it was nearly impossible to keep up with him. Even someone as talented and powerful as Merlin would struggle to match his growth.

"That's what I wanted to bring to your attention, she passed out this morning from extreme exhaustion." Tina stood, "And one last thing, Aisha had been sent to train with someone just like everyone. Hati said she'll be back in a day or two."

Arad almost started panicking as she was about to leave the room. "Is that everything?" He stood.

Tina thought about it for a second and looked at Mira and Isdis, "If those two are bothering you, kick them out. I'll take their place."

"Wait! What?" Mira and Isdis cried, glaring at her.

"You've heard me." Tina approached them, "You two are bothering him. Either pick one or let him sleep. If neither of you is staying and he wants company, I'll take it instead of you."

"You won't..." Mira glared at her.

"Never..." Isdis stood.

"Keep arguing if you want. It's not that uncommon in noble houses." Tina stood her ground with a sharp glare, "When the wives argue and cause their husbands trouble, it's usually the maids who pick up their place. Even if I don't do anything, you'll open the door for other women jumping in." Tina pointed at the bed, "Like them."

Everyone looked back, including Arad. Zia was lying naked on the bed with three other women, they were the vampire nuns. "We've sensed our lord being in distress so we came to comfort him, seeing that his wives aren't doing their job." Zia opened her legs and waved her foot, calling Arad in.

Arad flicked his finger and they all disappeared, getting sucked back into his blood.

Mira and Isdis looked at each other and they sighed, "Fine..." They both said, "You stay..." They said at the same time, pointing at each other.

"I said you can stay." Mira glared at Isdis, "I'll leave, you spend the night with him." frёewebnoѵēl.com

"No, I'm the one who told you to stay." Isdis growled, "I'm already..." They start arguing again, but instead of wanting to stay, they are trying to get each other to stay and show they care about each other.

"Master..." Tina looked at Arad, "Those two are stubborn, more than Eris and Merida. Can I do my job since Aella isn't here to put them in line?"

Arad sighed, "Fine. Someone has to do it."

Tina grabbed Mira by the hand, "It's Isdis's week, and you're pregnant. You're the one coming out with me." She dragged her toward the door, "Master, I'll be back in an hour, make sure Isdis is done by that time so I can drag her to her room before she exhausts herself too

much."

Tina closed the door after her as she dragged Mira out, Leaving Arad and Isdis sitting alone in the room. "Guess I won tonight." She smiled.

"You won? Tina just made a decision instead of you two..." Arad looked at her with an exhausted face. He had been relying on Aella's stern nature to put all of his wives in line, he couldn't be the one favoring one over another.

"To be honest. That's the maid's job." Isdis leaned back on her chair and turned toward Arad, "A maid's job extends far beyond cleaning and cooking, they are also expected to provide care for the sick, deliver babies, entertain their master if needed, and most importantly be a middle-person between the master and his wives if things turned sour." She smiled, "Basically if let's say I did something really bad that might get you angry, she'll be the one delivering the news so if there was any yelling or possible beating, she'll eat it all."

"Who's going to hit his wives?" Arad sighed.

"You are a rare one. It's very common among the nobles for the dominant one to be aggressive. Whether it was the husband or wife, there is lady Carmella of the eastern nation, she has five husbands and is known to beat them senseless every now and then." Isdis jumped on the bed, "Isn't that the case with dragons as well? You and Eris fight a lot, right?" "Dragons don't fight for the sake of fighting. I fight Eris and Merida to make sure their strength remains at an adequate level. I need to always have a fresh knowledge about their power to determine who should I protect first." Arad looked at her, "Eris needs less protection than you for example. While she can take a lot of damage without dying, you won't withstand even a flick of my fingers."

"I know." Isdis approached him, "Enough of the heavy talk. I'm quite tall, but you've gotten even bigger." She was 1.85m tall {6'1''} and he made her look short, he had reached 2.3m tall

Arad was already a unit, but Isdis could feel that he was growing more massive by the day. Just looking at him and thinking about what was going to happen made her shaky.
