Damn, I Have to Marry the Strongest Antagonist at the Start? - Chapter 212

Chapter 212: Chapter212-Jealousy?
Hearing a little girl say that he smelled good, Owen’s mouth twitched. What kind of compliment was that?

But seeing how serious she was, sniffing him like a little puppy, Owen suddenly had a thought and quietly asked, “Is the scent you like from the drops of the Tree of World?”

The bone dragon princess nodded. “The drops of the Tree of World mixed with your scent make it even better.”

Her big, bright eyes stared into Owen’s, and she rubbed her head against him, as if trying to imprint his scent onto herself.

Owen chuckled and was about to pat her head.

But just then, he noticed that Seraphina’s tail had slithered out and wrapped around his extended right hand.

Turning his head, Owen saw Seraphina looking at him with pitiful eyes, like a neglected lover.

Seraphina had been happily spending time with her master, but now this little girl had barged in, stealing his attention.

Owen immediately understood that Seraphina was jealous. He retracted his hand and gently stroked her head to soothe her feelings.

Meanwhile, the bone dragon princess, seeing that Owen’s attention had shifted to the little snake, hugged Owen’s neck and prepared to sniff his scent there.

Seraphina, noticing this, slightly flared her scales and slithered up to Owen’s shoulder, baring her fangs at the bone dragon princess.

“He’s my master, so back off, you vixen!” Seraphina’s hostile mental message echoed in the bone dragon princess’s mind.

Sensing the mental wave, the bone dragon princess glared at Seraphina and clung tightly to Owen.

“Hmph! You’re the vixen! I’m the little princess of the bone dragon clan, and this is my big brother! I like his scent!”

“Let go of my master! He’s my master, and you’re not allowed to touch him!”

Their eyes locked in a tense stare, and it seemed as though sparks were flying between them, ready to erupt into a fight.

Seeing this, Owen sighed and quickly intervened, “You both have special bloodlines. You’re friends, not enemies. There’s no need to be so hostile…”

“I’ll be her friend if it’s your command, master,” Seraphina said obediently, but quickly added with a pitiful look, “But master, you love me more than her, right?”

Owen was about to nod when the bone dragon princess puffed out her cheeks, her pearly tears threatening to spill from her eyes.

Leslie, watching nearby, shook her head slightly, stepped forward, and scooped the bone dragon princess out of Owen’s arms.

The bone dragon princess struggled in Leslie’s grasp, protesting, “Let me go! I want my big brother to hold me! I want him to hold me!”

But Leslie calmly responded, “A hug is a hug, doesn’t matter who gives it.”

“No, you’re not the same! You’re mean, not like him—he smells good!” The bone dragon princess continued to resist, but as soon as Leslie held her close, a strong, unique aura radiated from Leslie, suppressing the princess’s struggle as if her bloodline was being overpowered.

Seeing the bone dragon princess finally calm down, a glimmer of surprise flickered in the Bone Dragon King’s deep eyes.

The princess, despite her soft and cute appearance, was not the type to let just anyone hold her.

As his gaze shifted to Leslie, the Bone Dragon King quickly noticed that she was no ordinary person.

Despite her relatively low level, the aura she emitted was terrifying even to them.

The Gold Dragon King and the other dragons also began to take notice of the woman standing beside Owen.

She exuded an inexplicable pressure, like a natural-born ruler, and showed no trace of fear in front of so many powerful beings.

At this moment, seeing the bone dragon princess still fidgeting in Leslie’s arms, Owen extended his hand and said, “If she doesn’t want you to hold her, then just let her go.”

Leslie looked at Owen with a teasing smile, “Oh? Are you feeling protective?”

Owen coughed awkwardly, “No, no, I’m just worried you’ll get tired.”

He then gazed affectionately at Leslie, whose face had taken on a maternal glow.

Leslie patted the bone dragon princess’s back to calm her, then turned to Owen and said, “I won’t allow you to look at other women like that. That look is only for me.”

“Of course,” Owen replied with a wide grin, his eyes locking with Leslie’s in a gaze so full of affection it seemed almost tangible.

“Tsk, tsk, you two are showing off your love right in front of us old-timers! Haven’t you thought about how we feel?” Otto couldn’t stand it any longer and stepped in between them.

He had been through countless battles, but even he couldn’t withstand the intensity of Owen and Leslie’s loving gaze.

“They’re young, it’s the honeymoon phase, we can understand,” the Bone Dragon King and Gold Dragon King chimed in, teasing them.

After Otto and the others spoke, Owen took a deep breath, his expression becoming more serious.

He turned to the Bone Dragon King and Gold Dragon King, cupped his hands, and respectfully said, “Owen, greetings to both esteemed seniors!”

He showed deference to the two god-tier dragon kings, knowing that they were both god-tier mages and leaders of the top-tier dragon race.

Without the Dragon Clan’s Holy Token, he would have had no chance of interacting with such beings.

The Gold Dragon King chuckled and spoke first, “Your name, Owen, has long been famous in Middle Earth. They say you’re unruly, bloodthirsty, and lawless. Initially, I didn’t even want to come.”

“But now that I’ve met you, I realize those rumors are just slander. Willing to destroy a kingdom for the woman you love? That takes guts!”

Though he didn’t know why Owen had the Dragon Clan’s Holy Token, he admired Owen’s courage and dedication to his beloved.

There were few in Middle Earth with such boldness and loyalty.

The Bone Dragon King narrowed his eyes, sizing up Owen.

While he had initially come just to join the spectacle and show off his daughter, he now felt that Owen was someone worth befriending.

“The Pyrothrone Kingdom is strong, not some minor power. I want to know, if we dragons chose not to help you, would you still move against the Pyrothrone Kingdom?”

As soon as the Bone Dragon King asked this, all eyes turned to Owen.

They had heard the rumors about Owen’s extraordinary talent.

He was said to rival even the greatest prodigies of Middle Earth.

But talent didn’t equal power. Many of history’s strongest figures weren’t the most gifted, but simply those who had lived the longest.

Without the dragon clan’s help, even with the aid of the Fallen Angels, Owen’s forces would be no match for the Pyrothrone Kingdom.

Under the weight of all those gazes, Owen took Leslie’s hand and said seriously, “It’s said that dragons have a reverse scale, and those who touch it must die. I, too, have my reverse scale! Anyone who dares touch it will face death!”

“Haha! Bold! I like it. This time, the bone dragon clan is joining in the fun!”

Owen scanned the dragons and Fallen Angels in front of him. “Since it’s settled, let’s go!”

“The Pyrothrone Kingdom must pay!”

“Move out!”

Hearing Owen’s words, Otto raised his hand, leading the charge.

More convinced than ever that aligning with Owen was the best decision!

“Move out!”

Seeing Otto, the strongest among them, take action, the Gold Dragon King and Bone Dragon King exchanged glances before following closely behind.

Though they were a tier below Otto, who had ascended to the higher planes, they were still among the elite of god-tier mages.

In an instant, hundreds of dragons and a swarm of Fallen Angels surged toward the Pyrothrone Kingdom, filling the skies above Middle Earth!

Mages across Middle Earth looked up in shock at the terrifying scene.

They had heard rumors that Owen planned to attack the Pyrothrone Kingdom, but they had dismissed them as a joke.

Now, however, faced with such a terrifying force, they were truly frightened.

It had been many years since Middle Earth had seen a war of this scale!
