Chapter 402 - A Jealous Queen

Mevron casually chuckled, not at all feeling offended by Erzu's question. He knew this old fellow was a bit crazy in the head.

"King Erzu, don't forget that you went behind our backs to pocket this powerful treasure. As per our agreement, we sell all the contraband treasures we procure through our Darkwell Trading Union. In return, both your people enjoy a huge share of our profits and resources. So, out of respect for our friendship, Queen Ashpa and I decided to overlook what you did this time. Plus, we are thankful that your people succeeded in bringing such a unique treasure which even my people would have failed to do. But of course, you are always free to try and buy off this treasure during the auction if you want it desperately," Mevron said with a subtle smile.

Erzu snorted as he curled his lips, clearly knowing in whose hands this heavenly treasure was going to end up. The reason such an agreement even existed in the first place was just a trick played by the Winter Dragons to keep all the good stuff to themselves.

Of course, the resources the Darkwell Trading Union was giving back as compensation were no joke. But still, how could that compare to certain rare treasures that one won't be able to find again?

Ashpa flashed a charming smile at Mevron, "Prince Mevron is wise. It was rude of you to act on your own, King Erzu. You breaking the agreement only made me and my people look like fools for following the agreement sincerely all these years, hmph," Ashpa said with a look of displeasure, trying to deal a subtle blow at Erzu.

Erzu clearly saw through this sly snake woman as he said in a pissed-off tone, "Careful, Queen Ashpa. You think I don't know about your various side businesses? Stop trying to embarrass yourself by trying to get into Prince Mevron's good books. He already has a wife."

"Y-You! Shut it! Hisss!" Ashpa hissed in anger since this cunning old man purposefully was bringing up her crush on Mevron. It was indeed true she was in love with Mevron, but he got seduced by the mermaid bitch before she could do anything.

Thus it became her biggest sore spot, though she still hadn't stopped pining after him. If this old man wasn't the king, she would have already bitten him to death.

Mevron raised his hand as he calmly said, "Shh! Both of you, please…Do not fight when such an important auction is coming up."

The moment he spoke up, the two of them kept their silence while shooting glares at each other. The two of them might seem to have friendly relations on the outside, though these two were rival races, especially due to practicing arts common to both of them. Their people would always be competing with each other to see whose race was better.

Mevron continued, "I could already hear hundreds of guests entering our halls, waiting to throw their money for even trinkets. And for the grand ball, we are going to hold after, I want you two to be on your best behavior since we will be having certain guests who have become famous recently."

King Erzu narrowed his eyes as he asked, "You don't mean… that rabbitfolk couple? The so-called Goblin Slayer and his wife? Hmph, I still don't understand why you are entertaining those weaklings."

King Erzu could guess the real reason why Mevron had invited the rabbitman and his wife as special guests. Otherwise, even if ten Goblin Kings had been slain, he wouldn't bat an eyelid.

Most dragon races, especially the Winter Dragons, were only interested in two things. Power to build a strong foothold and develop themselves further and two exceptional women or men to procreate and raise stronger descendants. But because of the second reason, they tend to be lustful creatures even if they were too proud to show or admit it.

In fact, nobody would think Mevron was a lustful man despite being a dragon. People think he didn't even have to proactively chase after women since women chase after him. But despite that, he never took in any other concubines and only stuck with the mermaid princess. This made people, especially women feel even more impressed that he must be quite a romantic man.

After all, it was a common notion that powerful men would always have more than one woman as their partner.

But King Erzu knew that the real reason Mevron stuck to only one wife all this time was not because of these reasons but because Mevron's tastes in women were not something any woman could satisfy.

"I am afraid I have to agree with King Erzu on this one. I feel that they are just bluffing. There is no way a rabbitman could kill the Goblin King on his own. Those adventurers who accompanied them must have killed the Goblin King before dying, and this cunning rabbitman took the credit. Hmph, the mission we sent them for turned out to be a waste. Now those sea bitches will be more careful." Ashpa said as she hissed with a vexed look as, for once, she was glad that King Erzu shared her viewpoint.

Mevron's brows subtly pulled together upon hearing her mention the 'sea bitches.'

But the real reason why she was pissed was because of the Goblin Slayer's wife named Sera. She already got wind of Sera's exceptional beauty and her irresistible figure, which only made Ashpa more jealous than ever before.

How could a mere rabbitwoman get the attention of her beloved Mevron, whom she has been trying to hook up with all these years? It was not as if she was ugly or anything. She was the prettiest one in town until that mermaid bitch came along.

And now, a lowly rabbitwoman was making her feel threatened, especially with people saying that she was even prettier than the mermaid princess. So Ashpa couldn't help but try and convince Mevron to get rid of them.

Mevron squinted his eyes as he lightly laughed, "Haha, I appreciate how concerned you both are. But I can reassure you that the rabbitman is no ordinary man, and he indeed possessed the strength to deal the finishing blow. Anyways, the people like him, so it was only natural I convey the best wishes of the people of this town, right? So let's go upstairs and take our seats, shall we?"
