章 209: My real identity
"Yes, I will help you if you let me meet your princess," I stated firmly, meeting Raksha's uncertain gaze.
"I can take you to Her Highness... But you must reveal your identity and surrender any weapons you have, if you insist. Then I'll consider letting you meet her," Raksha replied, his tone hesitant as he awaited my response, while the soldiers nervously listened to our conversation.
"I don't have any weapons with me! You can see!" I declared, raising my empty hands in the air. Raksha scrutinized me closely, his gaze traveling from top to bottom. He then approached me and muttered a spell, pointing his hand at me.
"Detection!" Suddenly, an intangible force passed through my body. I didn't feel any harm or strange sensations, but I sensed it wasn't a futile magic.
"System, do you know what he just did?" I asked, seeking clarification from the system, as I noticed Raksha's expression becoming serious yet surprised.
(Host, that haman has used Detection magic. It scans the entire body of the target and provides information to the caster about what weapons and equipment the target possesses.)
The system's voice echoed inside my head. I glanced at Raksha as he spoke, "I have detected a soul weapon on your body!"
"Did the general say he has a Soul Weapon?"
"Yes, I heard that too! He said he has a soul weapon!"
"That kid is no joke. He defeated General Raksha and possesses a soul weapon!"
The soldiers were baffled when they learned that I possessed a soul weapon. They froze in place, staying close to Raksha.
"Yes, I have a soul weapon. So what? Does that mean I can't meet your princess?" I shrugged and sneered at him. He frowned at my words, hesitating but still speaking to me.
"I'm afraid I may not be able to assist you if you possess a soul weapon. We are the royal knights of Haman, and our loyalty lies with the princess and her safety. We can't allow anyone with a weapon, even her fiancé, to approach Her Highness," Raksha declared firmly, raising his sword to fight me and protect his princess. The soldiers behind him looked at the general with staggered expressions, but they followed his lead, wielding their weapons.
"We will die for our princess and save this kingdom from demons and enemies! My soldiers, fight for Princess Rani! Her life is far more precious than ours! Die for Princess Rani!" Raksha roared, his soldiers echoing his words and actions.
The patrolling soldiers and captain, feeling unlucky to have stumbled into our quarrel, couldn't help but follow Raksha's lead.
I watched as the entire army, once vigilant, now stood against me, ready to face me head-on.
"This is getting frustrating... I thought he would take me to the princess, and I would use her as a clone to capture the entire kingdom. But I didn't expect them to refuse just because I have Frosty. What should I do now? Kill them and use their clones to gain access to the princess? That sounds easy," I muttered inwardly, considering the idea. But suddenly, Frosty interrupted me.
[Hold your horses there. Why kill them when you can simply make them your puppets and show them what real fear looks like?]
"Can you be more specific?" I asked, listening to Frosty's voice inside my head. Suddenly, she went quiet and appeared out of nowhere.
"Do I need to tell you everything? Use your brain, Xzson, and reveal your true identity. How long are you planning to hide your face under those clothes?" Frosty replied.
"My real identity?"
As I pondered revealing my true identity, I realized that if I told them who I was, they would likely take me to their princess. Besides, there weren't any women in their group. The real reason I hid my face was to avoid attracting women. It is a headache to see women drooling behind you with lecherous looks or maybe worse they can think.
I sighed and finally uncovered my face from the white hoodie. Raksha and his soldiers' facial expressions changed drastically when they saw my appearance. They gradually lowered their weapons and stared at me in awe.
"That's a human child! What is he doing here?"
"I don't know, but... He doesn't even look like a human. He looks more like a child descended from heaven!"
"He looks so beautiful."
Soldiers, including Raksha, were mesmerized by my beauty when they first saw my face. They couldn't help but lock their eyes on me with open mouths.
"I'm Xzson, the Dragon Emperor from the Dragon Kingdom. I came here to help you fight against the humans. But before that, take me to your princess. I'd like to have a chat with her," I said, looking at Raksha. He became stunned, feeling a chill run through his skin upon learning my real identity. The soldiers behind him had the same expression, their faces darkening when they realized I was the Dragon Emperor.
"Wha... What? He's the Dragon Emperor?"
"N-no... Please tell me I'm dreaming!"
"No... This isn't a dream. We've provoked the Dragon Emperor!"
"But how is that possible? Look at him, he's just a human child. How can he be the Dragon Emperor? He was supposed to be a dragon with wings, horns, and thick scales. But look at him, he's just a human child. I'm sure he's a fool pretending to be someone—"
"Swing!"
Before the soldiers could complete their phrase, Raksha beheaded one of his own men in a blink of an eye. The soldiers stifled their gasps, shocked to see Raksha kill one of his own for speaking ill against me.
"Dragon Emperor, please forgive these foolish men. They are just a bunch of commoners who don't know how to talk to those who are out of their league. Please come with me; I will escort you to Her Highness," Raksha spoke, his demeanor suddenly noble as he immediately brought a steed for me.
"Wow, he suddenly changed as if nothing happened and treated me like a noble. Anyway, I need to move now; it's getting late," I thought as I walked toward the black steed he brought.
"Wait, this is my first time riding a horse. If I fall, I'll brace myself. What should I do now?" I pondered, lost in my thoughts, while Raksha wondered why I suddenly stopped.
"Emperor—"
"Eeehhhaa!" Suddenly, Raksha's white steed bolted toward me.
"What! No, that horse is heading toward the Emperor! Stop it before he gets hurt!" One knight shouted, his face turning pale as he realized the danger.
Raksha saw his horse heading straight toward us and quickly positioned himself between us, halting his steed. The black horse, sensing the commotion, calmly walked away from the scene.
"Eeeehhhaaaa!" White horse raised its two front legs in the air and tried to pass him to reach me. I became perplexed, witnessing the bizarre behavior of the horse.
"Stop, Angela! What are you doing? Are you trying to get us killed? The person behind me is the Dragon Emperor; you can't approach him!" Raksha shouted at his horse and tried to drag it away using its reins.
"Eeeehhhahahaha!"
"Eeehhaaaaaaa!"
"Eeehaha... Eeehahaha!"
Despite all his efforts, Angela refused to retreat. She pushed herself away from Raksha and attempted to approach me. "What's wrong with this steed? Why does it even have a name? And why is it trying to approach me? I don't understand," I muttered, puzzled by Angela's strange behavior.
"What is happening this is the first time Angela acted like this, why she is trying to approach the Emperor?" Raksha spoke as he gently petted Angela's neck to calm her down. But when I hear her I understand what is happening here.
"Wait, that horse is female? Is she also affected by me, System?"
(Yes, host. Due to your Divine Alluring body, all female creatures would be attracted to you and would act with intense overprotective feelings and lust.)
