Inside the Water Curtain.

The red-haired woman was still glaring at Allen hatefully.

“So, what are you so angry about?”

Hearing Allen’s question, the red-haired woman finally calmed down. She took a deep breath and stood up, not minding her appearance in front of Allen anymore since it was only him, she didn’t mind it.

Her ruby colored slitted eyes narrowed in rage, “Why did you not kill us?”

“… …”

The red-haired woman stomped and the entire building shook. She glared at Allen furiously, “Was it sympathy? Was it pity?”

“... I don’t–”

“You don’t need it, I know.” But before she could finish what she wanted to say, he was cut off by Allen.

Allen ignored the red haired’s rage and continued, “I never did it for those boring reasons – If I really pitied you, I should have also given you my favorite bacon from my breakfast to add sincerity,” Allen chuckled.

“Are you mocking us?!”

“Of course not,” Allen nonchalantly replied. Mia scooted over and put her arms around Allen’s neck, staring at the two women in front of them.

“I’m not as nice as you imagine, so please spare me with those eyes that looked like I did something unnecessary…” Allen’s gaze narrowed, he then picked up the black pants on the ground and slowly wore it.

Then his gaze turned towards the other woman – “Isn’t that right, Dakna?”

Dakna sighed and stepped forward, brushing past her sister who was currently frowning, confused.

Under the stunned gaze of her sister, Dakna suddenly kneeled down and bowed her head reverently. An action resonated with how a loyal knight would serve in front her king.

“What are you doing, Dakna!?” Dakna’s sister, real name Draia was extremely shocked from her actions.

“Sister,” Dakna sighed, her face helpless. “After our defeat, I have agreed to become his servant…”

“Why did you do that!?” Draia’s face distorted.

“That’s because you lose…” Surprisingly, it was Allen who interrupted at this time and declared. His voice doesn’t contain any mocking or insult but was only saying as if it was a matter of fact. "There's no other reason, just that~"

“What?”

"I, after all, was the victor of our duel. The man who obtained victory, fair and square. The deserved reward is, don’t you think, necessary?" Allen flashed an arrogant smile – no, this should be, he was now exhibiting the character of a King.

The two Dragon sisters can even feel it, that arrogance, looking down the world character. Draia shivered while Dakna could only smile bitterly.

Truthfully, she wasn’t that against becoming Allen’s servant, after all, it was the truth. They lost and as a prideful member of the Dragon race, either death or servitude was the only ending of the loser.

Indeed, they were foolish to pick a fight against a Monster King…

But how could they know, even if he was a Monster King, her big sister still had once drawn with him in a fight and was even almost winning – how could it be possible for someone like that to be so powerful in just a short time?

It’s against Logic!!

… Probably this was fate…

“Still! I would rather choose death than dishonor!!” But Draia was extremely stubborn. “Dakna, are you really going to become like that? Forsaking your pride?”

Dakna flashed a complicated face then her gaze turned towards Allen, who didn’t say anything but was just sitting there, watching and staring at her with a smile.

“I choose this path myself,” Dakna replied. This time she wasn’t wavering, completely unlike a while ago.

This wasn’t because of the taming effects, in fact, even if she was affected by it, it was only a bit and her decision wasn’t that completely influenced since there was affection rate of a monster to her master.

If she really disliked it, her affection rate would go lower and lower, diminishing the effects of the taming system, until she would be able to break the contract between them. But it didn’t so; her affection rate for Allen was still around 55% at the very least…

After thinking it through, Dakna stared straight at her sister.

"Maybe it's possible to tell through fighting? I found out that the legend of the Monster Kings was never unfounded or baseless… they were not just hearsays or rumors to portray and show the power and authority of the Monster Kings in the world…” Dakna muttered.

They had heard about Monster Kings before and in fact, the King of Dragon Island was also one of them, however, since they have never liked to socialize with other creatures, they either sleep or stand aloof from the world. Thus, the two of them never seen even one before and they have only heard about their legends and stories spread through mouths and ears…

However, now they had experienced it beforehand. Whether Allen had just played with her sister before or he did really grow in that amount of time, Monster Kings is not something they can be compared to.

… And there’s also one major factor as to what led Dakna to her decision.

One of the legends of Monster Kings.

There was a legend that says, if you met a Monster King in your life, there’s a high chance that your path had intersected in the path of the King you have met. Your fate intersected with him and if you just stand there and do nothing but watch him leave, you might not be able to have another chance again in your life…

Honor, Dignity, Destiny, Success – they might be waiting for you if you just extend your hand and grabbed the opportunity presented to you…

Call it destiny, call it fate.

“Call it guided by destiny, or call it bound by fate.”

There are many who preferred these ostentatious descriptions. “My path, no," Dakna shook her head, "... our path, sister had led us to this place, at this very moment…” Dakna muttered softly as she stood and walked towards Allen, standing beside him, proudly.

“… …” Draia was struck speechless by her sister’s words. She didn’t know how to react and could only stand there in a daze.

“Although, I don’t like calling it Destiny,” Allen muttered nonchalantly. He squeezed Mia’s hands that were hugging him, “… as I don’t like the idea that my fate and destiny is already laid down my path, not considering my opinion and thoughts in the matter.”

However, Allen wasn't satisfied with that fate. He wanted to live freely rather than travel down the path laid down for him.

Still, no matter how much he wailed and screams, cursed and fight against it, he can’t do anything but obey…

( In the mood for some drawing moments XD )

“But indeed, you might have a point, even Monster Kings themselves can only live the fate given to them as well… myself included…”

“Of course, I’m not surrendering nor giving up – A day will come when I viciously crush this fate or destiny whatever you call it in my own hands…”

However, this was what Allen thought: Bound by something like that is simply ridiculous… that’s not being free – as if you were bound by invisible shackles!

These were not actions fit for a [King]. A Monster King was not going to act this way.

Most importantly, he himself could not accept living in such a manner!

That’s why it should be the opposite instead. It would be much better to crush so-called destiny and fate or ignore them.

That is what absolute freedom is!!

No matter what comes along, be it god or Buddha, he will slay them all!

If fate was unacceptable, he will use his will and authority to crush fate beneath his feet.

If he could not even do something like that, then how could he call himself the King?

Although Allen felt no attraction at all to words like these, he was inspired by the ‘other’ Allen and Mia’s efforts to change the future, which they were slowly doing. Wasn’t Fate dictated that most of his loved ones will die a cruel death? That the world will be engulfed in darkness…

Then why did it changed? Because Fate isn’t absolute!!

Hence, Allen shared his thoughts indifferently.

“So don’t call it Fate, love,” Allen suddenly reaches out and grabbed Dakna’s hand, pulling it downward, following, Dakna kneeled in front of Allen while a confused expression. In her surprised, Allen started stroking her red flaming hair, “I don’t want you to follow me base on those stupid things… I want you to follow me, whole-heartedly and give your heart and soul, to me…”

The Monster King of Envy’s smile changed in nature.

The arrogant smile just now had turned into a smile of tender sweetness emanating from the heart. His expression oh so ever gentle that plucks the heartstrings of women – as faster as the cupid’s arrow does…

However, for Mia who was watching all these happened as a bystander can only see Allen’s smile as the smile of the devil tempting Eve to break the God’s Law and Order and eat the Apple of Knowledge dubbed by God as a Forbidden Fruit.

Casting doubt on the world. Allen was trying to give, no, to express to Dakna that he had the girl’s best interest in mind.

And just like how Satan assaulted the humans first parents, to draw them to sin, and the temptation proved fatal to them.

Dakna was already standing on the shore of the river of Love, waiting to be splashed by the waters that would change her life in an instant - like a coin being flipped, it had happened so fast, Dakna would never be able to feel something wrong.

Mia can’t help but be amazed – this guy’s ability to pick women was truly outstanding… she shook her head and playfully bit Allen’s neck – and he actually did it in front of her?

And his ability seemed to have gotten stronger… he sends temptations by hands others do not suspect, and by those that have most influence upon them.

Mia coldly snorted, it’s easier to change mountains and rivers than to alter her husband’s character - saw a beauty and not only opened his eyes wide, also did everything to please, and try his best to conquer her. Moreover, his skill level was much higher than before. Was it already MAX level?

The words spoken were particularly pleasant to listen to, and any woman would be happy to listen to these words.

What a crafty womanizer!!

As Dakna was already in a trance,

Suddenly,

“Well said, my old friend~”
