Dragon Monarch System

However, it was Amber\'s response that was the most striking. As the news of Sasha and her mother Lilith\'s impending arrival reached her ears, a peculiar sensation twinged in Amber\'s chest, causing her right eye to twitch involuntarily. A mix of emotions washed over her, but most prominently, annoyance bubbled to the surface.

"I knew it," she thought, an internal frustration simmering within her. "That bastard claims not to be a womanizer, yet he\'s surrounded himself with beautiful goddesses." Amber couldn\'t quite explain the turmoil she felt. It wasn\'t directed at Sasha or Lilith; rather, it was aimed at Aditya himself.

The truth was that Amber harbored a secret crush on Aditya. Her feelings for him went beyond respect for her King and loyalty to her General. She yearned for him to see her as more than just a capable soldier—a longing that danced within her heart yet remained unspoken. Amber hesitated to make any moves towards him, fearing that her status as a general might not be enough to warrant his attention. As a result, the prospect of Sasha and Lilith\'s arrival, despite her best efforts to suppress it, stirred a hint of jealousy and annoyance within her.

As the evening progressed, the atmosphere in the hall buzzed with lively conversations and various activities. Time seemed to melt away as an hour slipped by, marked by laughter, camaraderie, and the thrill of shared moments.

As the night unfolded, a natural division emerged between the genders, leading to distinct yet equally enjoyable interactions. The girls began having deep conversation about beauty. Eleanor was a little bit awkward around the girls and she had stayed with Nathan and was paying chess , also joined the girl group after Amber and others forced her to join. The men, their competitive spirits aflame, found themselves drawn to an impromptu arm-wrestling showdown. The air was thick with friendly rivalry as muscles strained and grins flashed.

Amid the clinking of glasses and cheers, Josh\'s robust voice rose above the rest. "You can\'t defeat me, Tyler!" he declared with a hearty laugh, his determination etched across his face. In response, Tyler, the embodiment of human strength, met the challenge head-on, a fierce grin matching the glint in his eyes.

The clash of their efforts sent tremors through the table, a testament to their evenly matched power. Tyler, though human, possessed a brute strength that few could rival. Josh, the Lion-folk, combined the raw might of a lion\'s physique with the prowess of a seasoned warrior. Muscles flexed and tendons strained as the duel of strength played out, the room echoing with their exertions.

Surrounding the contest, a gallery of onlookers held mugs of wine, their cheers punctuating the struggle. Among them, the ever-mischievous Scott couldn\'t resist a jab at the intense showdown. "Ah, my friends," he drawled with a sly grin, "is this what our mighty Lion resorts to? Arm wrestling to prove his mettle?" The teasing remark elicited chuckles from those around him. Josh rolled his eyes. Surprisingly, this time he did not lose his calm and started arguing with Scott. He instead focused on the game more.

Scene change______

Standing in front of the Dragon Palace, Sasha and Lilith were looking at it. Both of them were beyond astonished. They have heard nice things about the Dragon palace but words alone cannot describe how beautiful and magnificent the Dragon palace really is. "Welcome to the Dragon Palace. This is going to be your home from now on as well."

Aditya and Lilith has managed to convince Sasha to come to the Dragon Palace. Although Sasha is very stubborn and once she makes her mind about something it\'s extremely difficult to change her mind, but Aditya and Lilith was able to bring her after more than an hour of convincing.

Sasha looked at the Dragon Palace before her eyes. When he said that this Palace was going to become her home, her heartbeat increased for a second but knowing that she was going to face others, she immediately changed her mind.

"I think I should better go back...." She turned around and was about to leave when Aditya grabbed her hand and stopped.

"It\'s fine. How many times do I have to tell you that no one is going to judge. Don\'t have you have trust in me?" Aditya asked with a small smile. His smile seems to have melted her hesitation and his touch seems to have given her that final courage needed to take that step.

Holding his hand, she walked inside the Dragon palace. As soon as Sasha step her foot inside the Dragon Palace, she widened her eyes as she felt the huge density of Mana in the atmosphere.

"Little Emperor, I think you forgot about me." Outside of the entrance, Lilith looked at Aditya.

"Oh.....sorry I forgot about you....." If one wanted to enter, that person would need Aditya\'s permission to enter otherwise forcefully trying to enter would get that person killed by the barrier\'s defense system. Thought with Lilith\'s power, she should have no problem passing through the barrier forcefully.

"Is that so....." Lilith did not believe in his words. But that soon was out of her mind as the thing that caught her attention was the density of Mana inside the Dragon palace. The whole Palace was full of mana. The air inside the Palace was many times purer and cleaner. Both mother and daughter had shocked faces.

\'I had to search the heaven and earth under the six continents to find a suitable place where the mana was rich enough to increase Sasha\'s cultivation speed. But if she had cultivated here, then she would have reached Peak 5th-order within a few years.\' Now Lilith can understand why Dragons almost sees the Dragon Palace like a holy ground. Even though she and Sasha are Succubus, even for them this place is sacred. Even for them, this place was extremely valuable. As the name suggests, the Dragon Palace increases the cultivation speed of all Dragons, including all lesser dragons. So it makes sense to why the Istarin empire is the only Empire that has the most dragons.

Aditya did not release Sasha\'s hand. Holding her hand firmly, yet gently, he led both her and Lilith into the living room where everyone was gathered. The lively chatter and clinking of glasses ceased as soon as they made their entrance. All eyes turned to Lilith and Sasha, and the room was filled with an awed silence.

Both mother and daughter were wearing matching outfits, captivating everyone\'s attention. The dresses were called Midnight Glamour, and they lived up to their name. The black garments were form-fitting, hugging their bodies and emphasizing their graceful curves. High necklines adorned with ornate black beadwork sparkled in the soft light, resembling constellations and creating a mesmerizing effect.

The dresses were backless, the fabric draping sensuously along Lilith\'s and Sasha\'s bodies, revealing the elegant lines of their shoulders and the smooth expanse of their backs. As they moved, the thigh-high slits in the skirts allowed glimpses of their legs, tantalizing and mysterious. Cinching their waists were celestial sashes made of velvet, studded with star-like gems that twinkled with an inner fire.

Both women looked nothing short of stunning. Lilith\'s mature beauty was highlighted by the sophisticated design of the dress, while Sasha\'s youthful elegance was accentuated, making her appear both innocent and alluring. Their eyes sparkled with an inner radiance, and their hair was styled to perfection, completing the ethereal appearance.

The room was filled with appreciative glances, and more than one person was caught staring, enraptured by the vision before them. The dresses not only showcased their physical beauty but also seemed to capture the essence of their personalities, elegant and strong, yet delicate and mysterious.

As the moments stretched on and the room remained silent, Sasha\'s initial sense of pride began to wane, replaced by a growing nervousness. Her heart pounded in her chest, and a cold feeling settled in her stomach. Her earlier confidence, buoyed by the stunning dress and Aditya\'s firm support, started to crumble under the weight of the unbroken stares.

Fortunately, Aditya remained steadfastly by her side, his hand clasped in hers, not releasing her even as the seconds ticked by. The boldness of his act, the simple, unspoken statement of their relationship, provided a lifeline for Sasha. She squeezed his hand a little tighter, seeking reassurance, and found it in the warmth of his grip and the steadiness of his presence.

With a reassuring smile, he squeezed her hand back, letting her know that he was there for her, that she was not alone. He also wanted her to not to not feel so nervous.

Though she was feeling nervous, Sasha failed to notice that the stares were not critical but admiring. She didn\'t see the appreciation in the eyes of the onlookers, the genuine pleasure they took in her and her mother\'s appearance.

Lilith, standing tall and poised, was aware of her daughter\'s discomfort. Her experienced eyes read the room, understanding the dynamic at play. She knew that the silence was not a judgment but a tribute, a collective pause to take in the unexpected beauty before them. But she also knew that Sasha needed something more tangible, a break in the tension to ease her mind.

"Everyone, I want you all to meet Sasha. And this her mother Lilith." Not even a second had passed since Aditya had introduced Sasha and Lilith to everyone, Sasha suddenly found herself surrounded by all of the girls.
