Chapter 350: Luke Corrupted Aurielle’s Language?!

Aurielle paid almost no attention to the situation behind her.

With another flap of her Eclipse Wings, she accelerated directly toward Rhaenyra, while Elena and Theia followed through the air and Aurora and Vaelira positioned themselves beneath and slightly behind her, leaving the five women facing the Dragon Princess together.

Meanwhile, the person responsible for this entire situation was doing something considerably less impressive.

Luke’s clone was hiding behind the corner of a building several streets away, carefully leaning his head past the stone wall while watching everything unfolding above.

More strangely, he wasn’t peeking alone.

If the System possessed a visible spirit body that ordinary people could actually see, they would have witnessed an extremely questionable scene of one grown man and one small spirit-like existence leaning around the same corner while secretly watching the confrontation.

Luke’s clone suddenly paused.

‘System?’

He slowly turned his head toward the familiar presence beside him before staring with obvious confusion.

“Wait, why are you here? Weren’t you with the main body?”

The question was reasonable, because Luke’s clones couldn’t actually use the System themselves, while only the original Luke possessed proper access to it, which meant the System normally spent nearly all of its time accompanying the main body.

Seeing it voluntarily appear beside a clone was definitely new.

[…]

The System remained suspiciously silent.

Luke’s clone stared at it for another moment before his expression gradually changed with realization.

“Let me guess.”

He leaned slightly closer while keeping his voice low enough that no one nearby could hear them.

“The main body is flying back alone right now, which means there isn’t a single woman, princess, queen, lover, or wife anywhere near him.”

[…]

“But here, there are two wives, a lover, and several other women standing around while they’re about to start fighting over him.”

The System still didn’t answer.

Luke’s clone pointed an accusing finger toward it.

“So you abandoned the main body and came here because you wanted to watch the fun.”

He paused before adding with complete certainty, “Am I right, you horny System?”

[…]

Luke’s accusation was uncomfortably close to the truth, but the System had long since achieved something resembling a PhD in shamelessness, so expecting it to admit anything was clearly asking too much.

[The System chooses its right to remain silent. (￣ー￣)]

“…”

Luke’s clone stared at the message for several seconds, temporarily unable to think of anything capable of matching that level of shamelessness.

Before he could respond, however, the System spoke again as though the previous accusation had never happened.

[Luke, why are you hiding here?]

[Your wife traveled all this way just to meet you, so shouldn’t you go out there and welcome her properly? After all, she probably came because she missed you!]

A small pause followed.

[Maybe…]

“Maybe?”

Luke’s mouth twitched as he looked back toward the sky.

“She definitely didn’t come here because she missed me.”

The System remained quiet while Luke continued with obvious suspicion.

“Did you forget the sixth chap—Ahem! I mean, the second day after I arrived here, when she subdued me without any effort and carried me away like a sack of potatoes?”

[Luke, that happened in the past, and besides, look above.]

[Even Aurielle is welcoming Rhaenyra with a lovely smile.]

Luke hesitated before cautiously leaning farther around the corner and looking toward the sky.

Above Blackstone, Aurielle had already flown close enough to stop directly across from Rhaenyra, although there wasn’t even the faintest trace of the “lovely smile” the System had just described.

Her expression was completely cold.

Then Aurielle spoke.

“Fuck off, Rhaenyra! You are not welcome here!”

“…”

[…]

“…”

For several heartbeats, an unbelievable silence covered the surrounding streets.

Even many of the people still being suppressed by Rhaenyra’s draconic pressure forgot their discomfort for a moment as they stared upward, because none of them had expected the usually dignified former princess and current Baroness of Blackstone to greet a Dragon Princess with those words.

Luke’s clone slowly pulled his head back behind the wall.

The System remained silent for another second before immediately turning its anger toward him.

[YOU taught her that language!]

[I told you to make a healthy yandere, not a bitch!]

“…”

Luke opened his mouth, but nothing useful came out.

He couldn’t exactly defend himself either, because he knew perfectly well that the main body had become considerably rougher and less restrained around Aurielle after their relationship deepened, although even he hadn’t expected the consequences to appear in quite this form.

With a resigned expression, Luke looked toward the nearby road and quietly muttered, “Should I run away before this poor clone gets sacrificed for something the main body did?”

Before he could take even one step, however, the System released a suspiciously pitying sigh.

[Sigh, Luke, it’s already too late.]

[You should probably forget about this clone.]

Luke froze.

“What do you mean by that?”

At the same moment, high above Blackstone, Rhaenyra’s mouth twitched after hearing Aurielle’s greeting, because even she hadn’t expected those words to come from the former Human Princess.

‘What happened to her?’

As she hadn’t behaved quite like this during their earlier meetings.

Rhaenyra considered it briefly before simply dismissing the matter.

‘Whatever. I only need to take him and leave.’

She suppressed the irritation building inside her, because losing her temper against the people below would be pointless when most of them were far too weak to be considered meaningful opponents.

To Rhaenyra, becoming genuinely angry at them would be no different from stopping to fight ants simply because they happened to cross her path.

Instead of replying to Aurielle immediately, she shifted her golden draconic gaze downward toward the city.

Almost at the same moment, Aurielle did the same.

Luke’s clone, still hidden behind the building, suddenly heard the System continue its earlier explanation.

[Because your wives can sense the Golden Chains connected to you.]

[And since this clone is currently close enough to them, Aurielle and Rhaenyra can already tell where you are.]

“…”

Luke became completely silent.

Then he slowly leaned away from the wall.

“Wait…”

Before he could finish, the uncomfortable sensation of being watched suddenly crawled across his back.

Two gazes had landed directly upon his hiding place.

Luke’s clone stiffened before slowly looking upward, where Aurielle was staring toward the building with an expression that told him very clearly that hiding had already become pointless.

Rhaenyra was looking in the same direction.

For one brief moment, Luke still hoped the wall might somehow help.

Then Rhaenyra’s golden draconic eyes suddenly brightened.

A faint golden radiance passed through her pupils as her gaze seemed to pierce straight through the building, and the instant Luke noticed that change, a terrible premonition rose in his heart.

He remembered something he had once heard about the Dragon Race.

‘Dragon Eyes…’

Among the many rumors surrounding dragons, there was one particular saying that had remained in his memory.

Dragon Eyes could peer through things that even Sage Eyes failed to perceive.

Luke’s clone slowly swallowed.

The System released another pitying sigh beside him.

[Sigh, it seems your main body is going to face the wrath of your fiery dragon wife very soon.]

“Aurielle, why is Luke’s clone here?!”
