Dragon Monarch System
chapter-477

"What a wild afternoon we've had," Aditya mused, his voice filled with a mixture of exhaustion and contentment. "The auction took longer than we expected. It lasted a whole six hours!" He couldn't help but reflect on the massive sum he'd spent, a total of 539 million Royal gold coins, equivalent to 5 billion and 390 million standard gold coins. It was the most he'd ever spent in a single day, and although he knew he could earn it back within a few months with his various revenue streams and side businesses, the amount was still staggering.

As the three of them strolled down the grand halls of the Dragon Palace, the echoing footsteps and the soft rustle of their garments the only sounds breaking the silence, Aditya reached out and took Julia's hand in his, then Lara's. The warm connection brought smiles to their faces, a physical affirmation of the bond they shared.

"Indeed, it was quite the experience," Julia agreed, her voice tinged with satisfaction. She turned her gaze toward Lara, her eyes softening with affection. "What about you, Lara? Did you enjoy yourself?"

Lara's eyes sparkled, and her cheeks flushed with excitement as she nodded. "I also had a lot of fun, Big Sister," she replied in a gentle, almost shy tone. "I learned so many new things from this auction."

The simplicity of Lara's words belied the depth of what she was feeling. For most of her life, she had been confined to her room, a prisoner to a mysterious illness that had kept her bedridden and isolated from the world. She had never been to an auction, never attended a wedding, never partaken in the social events that many took for granted.

But all of that had changed when Aditya came into her life. He had opened doors for her, literally and figuratively, taking her to places she never thought she'd see and introducing her to experiences she never dreamed she'd have. The auction was just one of many new adventures, but it was a symbol of so much more.

As they continued to walk down the grand hallway, Aditya couldn't help but tease Julia about her earlier reaction to the beautiful auction host, Sakura. He looked at her, a mischievous twinkle in his eye, and said, "By the way, you didn't really need to be so fierce towards Sakura, you know?"

Hmph!

Julia, at the memory of the encounter, let out an exaggerated snort of indignation, her nose wrinkling up in a way that made Aditya want to laugh. "That woman was just trying to seduce you," she shot back, her voice dripping with disdain. She'd seen the way Sakura had looked at Aditya, the way she'd tried to use her charms to win him over. Julia wasn't about to let some hostess make eyes at her man.

Aditya's response was to burst into hearty laughter, the sound echoing through the hallway. He reached out and playfully pinched Julia's left cheek, his eyes dancing with amusement. "Haha! So you were jealous!"

Julia's face turned a shade redder, and she pouted cutely, her lips forming a perfect little bow of mock annoyance. "Of course not! I just don't like people trying to take what's mine," she retorted, but the sparkle in her eyes betrayed her true feelings.

Aditya grinned and pulled her closer, wrapping his arm around her waist. "Don't worry, my Princess. There's no way I'd fall for her seduction. After all, I have the most beautiful woman in the world right here with me." He leaned down and kissed her on the forehead, his lips lingering just a moment longer than necessary.

Julia's pout transformed into a radiant smile, and she snuggled into Aditya's embrace, contentment washing over her. "You always know just what to say, don't you?" she murmured, looking up at him with eyes full of affection.

He winked at her and squeezed her hand, a warmth spreading through him that had nothing to do with the treasures they'd acquired that day. "Only when it comes to you," he replied, his voice soft and full of sincerity.

Aditya, seeing Lara's twinkling eyes and feeling her happiness, couldn't leave her out of this tender moment. With a mischievous grin, he reached out and pulled her into the embrace, his arms now encircling both of the women he loved most. He leaned down and gently kissed Lara's forehead, a gesture of affection that had her cheeks flushing a delightful shade of pink.

Her heart pounding with joy, Lara looked up at Aditya, her eyes wide and full of emotion. Speaking in her cute and endearing way, she said, "Husband, Lara loves being kissed by husband. So please kiss Lara more."

Aditya's heart melted at her request. There was a sweetness and innocence in Lara's love for him that he couldn't resist. Leaning forward, he captured her lips in a deep and passionate kiss, their connection growing with every heartbeat. Lara's slender arms wrapped around his neck as she eagerly responded, her shyness replaced by a longing for closeness.

Unlike Julia, who is embarrassed to ask for more intimacy, Lara was always open and honest with Aditya. Her timidity never held her back from asking for what she wanted, and right now, what she wanted was him.

As their kiss ended, Aditya glanced to his right to find Julia pouting, her arms crossed, and a look of jealousy in her eyes. The sight was both amusing and touching, and he couldn't help but tease her.

"There's no need to be jealous, Princess," he said in a playful tone, leaning forward to capture her lips in a lingering kiss that had her melting into his arms.

For the next ten minutes, the grand and silent Hall of the Dragon Palace became the backdrop for a scene filled with love, laughter, and endless kisses. Aditya moved back and forth between Julia and Lara, showering them with affection and enjoying the warmth of their connection.

Julia's tsundere personality and Lara's sweet innocence created a balance that made his heart sing. They were his future wives, and every moment spent with them was a treasure.

Finally, breathless and with smiles on their faces, the trio continued on their way, leaving behind a hall filled with the echoes of their joy.

Upon reaching the living hall, Aditya's eyes were immediately drawn to the figure waiting for him. Riya, one of his beloved fiancées, stood with an air of anticipation, and Aditya couldn't help but be struck by her breathtaking appearance. Today was Riya's special day, and she had taken extra care to dress for the occasion.

"You're finally here," she exclaimed, her light purple eyes shining with excitement. Her gaze, filled with warmth and affection, met Aditya's, and a sweet smile danced on her lips.

"You look really pretty," Aditya responded, his voice filled with genuine admiration. And indeed, she was more than pretty; she was a vision of grace and beauty.

Riya's dress was a work of art, inspired by elven elegance. It was a flowing gown with intricate leaf patterns, delicate embroidery, and graceful flares that only added to her natural charm. The gown was cinched at her slender waist, and the skirt flowed effortlessly to the floor in hues of deep forest green. The long, slightly flared sleeves added to the mystical appeal, reminiscent of elven grace.

Her silver hair was tied into a ponytail, adding a touch of playfulness to her refined look. The golden accents in her dress highlighted her flawless skin and complemented her lavender eyes perfectly. The dress seemed to enhance her natural lavender fragrance, a scent that was uniquely hers, adding an ethereal quality to her presence.

Riya was truly one of the most beautiful women on the planet, and today, she looked even more stunning. Her beauty was not just in her appearance but in her soul, her kindness, her grace. Aditya felt a pang of love as he looked at her, knowing how lucky he was to have her in his life.

The elegance of her gown, combined with her radiant smile, made Riya look like a fairy tale princess. She was Aditya's princess, and he couldn't wait to spend the next three hours lost in her enchanting company.

"Shall we?" he asked, offering her his arm, which she accepted with a gleeful giggle.

After Aditya left with Riya, Julia and Lara found themselves alone in the spacious living room. They settled down on the plush couches, reflecting on the exciting day they had just had. Lara, however, looked particularly worn out. Her eyes were drooping, and her body seemed to sag with exhaustion. It was clear that the day's events had taken a toll on her, and she looked like she was about to nod off right then and there.

Julia, noticing her younger sister's fatigue, leaned over with a concerned look. "Are you alright, Lara?" she asked, her voice filled with genuine care.

Lara managed a weak smile and replied in a sleepy voice, "Big sister, I'm fine. Just a little bit sleepy." Her words were slow, and she seemed to be fighting to keep her eyes open.

Julia couldn't help but feel a pang of affection for her younger sister. Even in her tired state, Lara was trying to be strong. "Come on, sweetie," Julia said, her voice soft and gentle. "I'll take you to your room. You can sleep there. I'll wake you up for dinner."

Lara's eyes brightened at the mention of sleep, and she nodded her head in agreement. "Thank you, Big sister," she murmured, leaning into Julia for support.

With a loving arm around Lara's shoulder, Julia helped her sister up from the couch. They made their way slowly through the hallway, Lara leaning on Julia for support, her steps unsteady with fatigue.

Julia always felt a sense of responsibility for Lara. As the big sister, she had always looked out for Lara, always been there for her.

Lara's trust in her was evident in the way she allowed herself to be guided, her body relaxed, knowing that her big sister would take care of her. Once they reached Lara's room, Julia tucked her in, making sure she was comfortable. Lara's eyes were already closing, but she managed to murmur a soft "Goodnight, Big sister," before drifting off into a peaceful slumber.

Really Thank you very much to all those who sends support with valuable golden tickets. I hope we can keep it up!!!
