Dragon King's Harem Chapter 256. The Orc Palace III

Burz and I fell silent, our attention was once again drawn to the dancers in the center of the hall. The previous dancer had left, and a new group had taken her place. Two of the dancers started to move toward me with sensual, sultry movements.

They moved in unison, their bodies swaying in perfect harmony. The music was slow and sensual. They drew closer and closer until they were standing right in front of me. The tall female orc reached out and ran her fingers through my hair, while the shorter one placed a hand on my shoulder and leaned in close to my ear.

"Would you like to dance with us?" the tall female orc asked, her voice a soft whisper.

“No,” I simply answered.

Upon my answer, they retreated.

Several other dancers also made their way to the other side of the table, hoping to catch the attention of Eir and General Guillotine.

They approached Eir and Guillotine, with a coy smile, began to dance in front of them, swaying their hips and moving their body in a sensuous rhythm.

Then as if on cue, the dancer reached out and took a bottle of wine, pouring a glass and offering it to both of them.

Again, I used my Analyze skill on the drink and found it contained the same Aphrodisiac as mine before.

Eir and General Guillotine exchanged a quick glance before turning their attention back to the dancers. The dancers continued their seductive moves, occasionally coming closer to them and offering them the wine. Eir and Guillotine both took the wine glasses from the dancers' hands, but they did not immediately drink.

Instead, they turned to me, as if silently asking for my approval or advice. I could see the hesitation in their eyes.

Simply, I put my elbow on the table and raised my index finger to my lips, rubbing it slowly. It was a gesture that conveyed that the orcs had put an aphrodisiac in the wine, not poison that could kill them.

We had devised a series of secret gestures to communicate with each other in case we suspected foul play. If I pointed to my lips, it signalled that the drink was either an aphrodisiac or harmless, and could be neutralized with a simple antidote. But if I pointed at my neck, it would mean that the drink was laced with a deadly poison that would kill anyone who dared to drink it. Of course, although we had the antidote at hand, even so, it would weaken us for a while.

I couldn't help but wish that Marissa was here with me. She had a knack for solving problems related to poison. But alas, I could not leave Evelina or my soldiers unguarded in this dangerous enemy territory. The situation could change in an instant, and we needed to be vigilant at all times.

With my signal of approval, Eir and Guillotine both reached for their drinks and took a larger gulp. Then, I watched as they reached for a tray of snacks that had been placed on the table in front of them. Each of them grabbed a cookie-shaped pastry and took a bite, chewing thoughtfully. I knew that they had both slipped an antidote pill into the snack, just as we had planned. It was reassuring to know that they were both so skilled in this kind of situation.

As they finished their drinks and nibbled on the cookies, the dancers seemed content, knowing that their mission was accomplished.

Eir gave a friendly smile to the dancers. Guillotine, on the other hand, looked as though he was in a bad mood. His expression was grumpy and he kept glancing around the room as if he was expecting trouble.

I, on the other hand, remained stoic and impassive. As the Dragon King, I had to maintain a certain distance from those around me. I couldn't show any signs of weakness or vulnerability, even in a situation like this. I needed to remain vigilant and alert, always watching for any signs of danger.

But as the dancers gathered together in the middle of the room, another solo dancer emerged, and her eyes were fixed on me. She sashayed towards me, her eyes fixed on mine, a seductive smile playing on her lips. She was beautiful, no doubt, with long, flowing black hair, and a slender frame. She moved with confidence, her every movement calculated to entice me.

Still…I didn't budge, my eyes fixed on her, but not with desire. It was just a cold one.

After a while, Burz seemed to realize that his plan was not working and turned to me again, worry etched on his features. "You seem disinterested in all this, Your Majesty," he said tentatively, "or are they not according to your liking?"

I looked at him coolly and replied, "No, they're all good. But that's too much seduction. They look cheap." As a king, I had high standards for women, and I refused to be swayed by mere physical beauty.

Burz seemed taken aback by my comment, but he quickly regained his composure and offered, "I see, so do you want other entertainment? I can ask my assistant to prepare it."

I nodded my head noncommittally, my mind already turning to a new challenge. "Make your sister dance for me then. That will be interesting," I challenged, without even looking at him. I knew that Glasha was a fierce warrior and that she would never agree to such a thing, but the thought of turning her murderous gaze into a seductive one intrigued me.

Burz was momentarily speechless, and when he finally spoke, there was a hint of incredulity in his voice. "Your Majesty...have you fallen in love with my sister?" he asked, his eyes wide with surprise.

I couldn't help but scoff at his suggestion. "No," I replied dismissively, "but the idea of taming a fierce warrior like Glasha is an intriguing one."
