Dragon Monarch System
chapter-741

The next morning, after having breakfast, Aditya was heading out of the Dragon Palace when Amelia stopped him in the corridor. Amelia, being a copy of Riya, looked absolutely stunning as always. The Kimono that Amelia was wearing was a soft, light green color. It featured delicate flowers in shades of pink and white arranged gracefully on the fabric. These flowers are scattered across the kimono, appearing on the sleeves and near the bottom. A bright yellow belt with an intricate design wraps around her around a slim waist. Her Kimono was simple but very beautiful. But it's not the Kimono that made her beautiful; rather, it was her who brought out the beauty and elegance of the Kimono. No matter what she wore, whether it was a simple outfit such as this Kimono or something fancy, she always looked really beautiful.

Aditya couldn't help but look at her silver hair. Today, she tied her hair into a braided bun, leaving her beautiful nape exposed. 'She looks beautiful as always.' Today, Amelia was absent from the dining table. Aditya was told that she was busy with some work in her room. "Aditya, good timing. I want to inform you that I am heading back to the Celestial Terrain for a few days. It might even take a week. Once I am done with my work, I will return." Amelia didn't know why, but she felt that she needed to inform Aditya about this matter. She had already told Riya, who could have informed Aditya about it. However, for some reason, she wanted to tell Aditya personally.

"Aunty, if you don't mind, what kind of work would take this long?" It has been months since she started staying with them. It would feel strange if she suddenly disappeared for a few days. Aditya would definitely miss her. "It's nothing complicated. Recently, I have been thinking of implementing a policy to increase the birth rate of elves. As you know, we elves have very low sexual desires, leading us to have very low birth rates. I am concerned about the future of the Celestial Terrain. By implementing this policy, I hope to increase the birth rate of my Empire at least by a few percent." Hearing this, Aditya nodded his head. "Aditya, I would really appreciate it if you could take a look at my plan." Amelia felt that if Aditya approved her plans, this policy would have a high chance of succeeding. After all, whatever suggestions Aditya made about changing the political structure of the Celestial Terrain have worked out too well. "Aunty, if I had time, then I could have helped you refine your policy, but unfortunately, right now, I am a little short on time." Hearing this, Amelia was slightly disappointed but she nodded in understanding. Staying in the Dragon Palace for many months, Amelia has learned a lot about Aditya. She has seen just how busy he can become. 'But then again, when Aditya is serious, he looks handsome.' Looking at his face, Amelia's heartbeat slightly quickened. 'This unfamiliar heartbeat again....!!' Seeing her being silent, Aditya continued. "Aunty, do you have time?"

"I don't understand the question." Amelia was confused. "I mean, can you delay your return to the Celestial Terrain for a few more hours? After an hour or two, I should have free time. At that time, I can look into your plans." 'I have told my trusted subordinates that I will be at the meeting at 10 a.m. I shouldn't break my words.' "Of course I can." In the end, Amelia could not resist Aditya. 'They can wait. The meeting can wait. If Aditya helps refine my policy, then it will be very beneficial for my empire. Aditya can help eliminate the risk of failure.' By saying these words to herself, Amelia justified herself for delaying the meeting. 'I will send a letter explaining the situation.' Amelia made up her mind. Sending a short letter wouldn't even take 5 minutes. "Aditya, what are you doing in the next few hours?" Amelia curiously asked. "Aunty, do you remember the time when you gave me the Seed of the Tree of Blood?" Aditya asked. Amelia did not know why he was suddenly talking about this, but she nodded. After all, how can she forget the romantic words that he said under the starry night sky?

Aditya and Amelia's relationship was very unique. Aditya was her son-in-law. She has known him since he was a little boy. Now that little boy has matured to become a powerful Dragon that saved her Empire from being taken over by her dead sister Seraphine. Their connection made their relationship unique. Amelia can't deny that she didn't feel anything for him in her heart. But she wasn't sure about Aditya. After all, since returning to the Dragon Palace, he hasn't really made any move on her.

But Amelia also understood that since returning to the Dragon Palace from the Celestial Terrain, Aditya has been really busy. First, he went to search for the Dragon Grass, then he had to fight the 9-headed Hydra, and then he had to deal with Warblade Merchant Felix. In between all of these events, he was busy working on his newly gained territories. Amelia realized that she was lost in the memories of the past and hadn't responded to him yet. "Yes, I remember."

"Are you alright, Aunty?" Aditya worriedly asked. He could tell that something was in her mind. "Don't worry, it's alright. I was just thinking about the time that you came to the Celestial Terrain with Riya." Half of her words weren't true since she was thinking of the time that they spent together. "So, how are you planning to use the Seed of the Tree of Blood?" Amelia changed the subject by asking him this question. "Yeah, about that!! I have a question."

"Go on.....!!"

"Aunty, Do you know how long it would take for the tree of blood to mature into a fully grown tree?" Aditya was worried about this. In the last few months, the thought of planting the Seed of the Blood didn't come to his mind. "It depends on how much blood and what quality blood you provide the tree with. For example, if you feed it a few drops of our Divine Dragon Blood, then I am sure the tree will mature in less than an hour." "Thank you, Aunty."

"To Answer your question, just wait and see. This whole place is about to change." Saying that, Aditya quickly left. -

Scene Change______

Aditya first poured a drop of his blood on the diamond-shaped seed. As he did, the seed glowed very brightly for a few seconds. With this first drop of blood, this tree now has recognized Aditya as its master. Aditya will be able to control once the Tree of Blood grows. He then buried the two-inch-long diamond-shaped seed around 5 inches into the ground.

"Your Majesty, you called for me." It was General Henry who arrived at Aditya's orders. Currently, he was the only one available. Amber was busy with her training. Nathan was outside of the Istarin Empire to complete a secret mission. As for the rest, they were outside of the Capital because of their missions or work-related matters. So only Henry was available. "Henry, please head to Silver Meadow immediately and collect the bodies of as many high-order Magic Animals as possible within one hour. Quality is more important than quantity." "Understood!!!"

Once Henry left, Aditya took out a glass tube that was full of his blood. He poured the blood on the soil above the Seed. As soon as the blood touched the ground, Aditya saw all the blood was rapidly being absorbed. His golden blood disappeared within a few seconds. The next second, Aditya felt a tiny presence in the soil. 'So it has finally started growing.' Aditya smiled as he continued to observe the whole process. As the seed was starting to grow into a plant, Aditya poured more Golden blood on the soil. If anyone saw how the Emperor was wasting his precious Divine Blood on a tree, they would die of a heart attack. But it was worth it in his eyes. First of all, it would allow him to level up the Dragon Palace which was super important. As for the benefits that the Tree of Blood would give him, he considered them to be extra bonuses.

All the blood that he poured kept being sucked by the seed which now had grown into a small and tiny plant. Aditya can feel its little and very delicate roots slowly extending themselves. 'I kind of wonder from where Aunty even got this seed.' Aditya felt that he should ask Amelia about this when he had time. The Process of upgrading the Dragon Palace has officially began. ----------------
