Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Declaring ownership
"I think it's good that you do this."
The sudden voice in her ear made Draudillon Oriculus jump. As a familiar scent enveloped her senses, a thought immediately flashed through her mind.
Turning around, to her surprise, Kael stood there with a smile on his face.
"Your Excellency... God Kael! Weren't you already gone?"
Draudillon Oriculus suddenly panicked, her eyes nervously darting towards the main entrance of the hall.
Footsteps, footsteps!
Though not entirely clear, the faint sound of a crowd approaching the hall was still audible, signaling that Herman and his entourage would soon arrive.
Kael took Draudillon Oriculus's arm as if no one else were around, and while slowly turning her body, he suddenly explained, "Oh, I forgot something. So I came back here to tell you."
"What is it?"
Draudillon Oriculus offered a strained smile, and while asking, kept glancing at the door.
Right now, she only wanted to quickly get rid of Kael and have him leave.
If Herman were to find out about their relationship, he would surely connect it to the additional condition Kael had given on the gift list, and their agreement would be exposed.
They had jointly supported the Draconic Kingdom's government affairs for many years. She and Herman were no longer merely Queen and minister, but more like close friends.
She had decided this major agreement personally without consulting Herman. And once Herman, that garrulous middle-aged man, found out, he would likely lecture her at length again.
Seeing that Draudillon still had a bit of energy to be distracted, Kael smiled wickedly and said, "I mean, I forgot to kiss you goodbye."
A "farewell" kiss?
Draudillon Oriculus's brain had just processed the message, and before she could react, Kael leaned in directly.
It felt like a surging electric shock. Draudillon Oriculus's eyes showed an expression of terror, and her heartbeat raced uncontrollably.
Reacting, she tried to push Kael's shoulders, but the arms locked around her waist were as strong as steel, giving her no room to resist whatsoever.
So hot.
Draudillon Oriculus felt overwhelmed by a powerful wave of heat, her entire body began to burn, and embarrassing images swirled in her mind.
In just a few seconds, she completely lost the strength to resist and softly clung to Kael's body.
Hehehe.
Feeling Draudillon Oriculus's reaction, Kael couldn't help but smile inwardly.
It was a secret he had discovered yesterday.
Although Draudillon Oriculus was much older than him, a time traveler who had lived for almost thirty years, she was just like an innocent little girl when it came to contact with the opposite sex and couldn't withstand this assault at all.
As long as he grasped the key points, he could easily knead this mature royal elder sister's beauty!
It was this unique sense of contrast that made him even more interested in Draudillon Oriculus, surpassing even Saintess Leinas Rockbruise, whom he had first met.
Almost, eh?
While enjoying Draudillon Oriculus's sweetness and softness, Kael noticed the approaching footsteps outside the hall, and silently calculated in his heart.
In less than three seconds, they stepped into the hall with infrequent steps. When the crowd saw two people kissing, they suddenly let out angry shouts!
"Who are you!?"
"How dare you behave so indiscriminately in the solemn audience hall! Utterly disrespectful!"
The shouts of the crowd immediately roused Draudillon Oriculus from her daze. She suddenly burst forth with powerful strength and broke free from Kael's embrace, her face flushed crimson.
When Herman saw Draudillon Oriculus, he was stunned for a moment. After clearly seeing Kael's appearance, he was slightly shocked and quickly shouted, "Silence!"
It was evident that Herman's prestige as chancellor in the Draconic Kingdom was still very high, and the Draconic Kingdom officials immediately fell silent under his reprimand.
A second later, the ministers looked at Herman with bewildered eyes, but no one spoke, simply waiting for him to take the initiative to explain.
Herman took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, stepped forward and respectfully saluted Kael, "My apologies, God Kael, that was my oversight."
"You seem to be saying the opposite. The situation just now was clearly outdated for us."
Kael, who wasn't usually so mischievous, raised his hand to say it was his fault.
Herman bowed his head to him again, and instead of accepting this remark, he brushed it aside.
At this moment, a minister of the Draconic Kingdom seemed unable to contain the doubts in his mind and stepped forward to ask, "Lord Prime Minister, this..."
Herman walked to Draudillon Oriculus, first giving her a chiding look, then turned to face the officials.
He then announced shocking news to all the ministers, "Fellow colleagues, this is Her Majesty, who for special reasons has always been with everyone in a veiled form, this is what she truly looks like."
As soon as these words came out, the officials in the hall erupted in an uproar, and everyone stared blankly at Draudillon Oriculus, who had transformed into a beautiful royal elder sister.
"What!?"
"This, this is Her Majesty the Dragon King!?"
Bang!
Herman clapped his hands, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then looked at an old man in the crowd, "You need not doubt, Old General Okado can bear witness in this matter I speak of."
The ministers quickly looked at the old man in armor, and a probing gaze was clearly visible.
Old General Okado couldn't help but laugh, stroking his beard, and testified, "What the Prime Minister said is indeed true. I was fortunate enough to see Her Majesty the Queen in this true appearance. I didn't expect that after so many years, you are still so beautiful. Ah."
Draudillon Oriculus calmed her racing heart and knew it was time for her to express herself, so she said, "Okado, although you look old, you are still as wise and brave as you were then."
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty." Okado smiled and accepted Draudillon Oriculus's compliment.
The two military and political giants of the Draconic Kingdom together acted as guarantors. Although many ministers were still surprised, they also slowly digested this shocking revelation.
After all, the royal family of the Draconic Kingdom had inherited the Dragonkin bloodline, so it was not unusual for her to live longer than ordinary people. Previously, the Dragon King's daughter had been kept as a young girl, and everyone simply thought that she hadn't matured yet.
"In the past, for the stability of the kingdom and the cohesion of the people's hearts, I had to interact with you in a veiled form. Please allow me to apologize to you!"
Draudillon Oriculus bowed slightly to the officers in the hall.
All the ministers were flattered and expressed their awe.
After the reconciliation between the queen and her ministers, the ministers subtly glanced towards Kael, who was sitting to the side.
Just now, this one seemed to be with Her Majesty... What is his identity?
Feeling their movements, Herman cleared his throat twice, drawing everyone's attention to himself, "Allow me to inform you, this is..."
Only halfway through Herman's words, he was immediately interrupted by Kael's action.
He watched him stand beside Draudillon Oriculus, casually wrapping his arm around the queen's waist, and introduced himself to the Draconic Kingdom's ministers with a smile:
"I am the sole God believed in by the Church of Destiny, who is supporting your nation this time, and I am also Draudillon Oriculus's lifelong companion in her vow of worship."
