Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System
chapter-354-30041322

I sighed and shook my head. This old man was crafty. "Not like I have a choice. I love all four of them and will not allow any of them to be left out. So I will do as you say this time, you scheming old man…." I snorted the last part, but all I saw was a big smile on the king's face. Adel hugged me from behind, making me sigh even more. "But….. I have one condition."

"And that is?" The king looked at me. He was still all smiles, but he was not going to be happy for long.

"I want you to rule in my place while I run dungeons. After all, with the things happening in the world I can not be sitting on the throne and not gaining strength. We are at a turning point in this planet's history, and if I do not prepare with those I love, we will not make it far. I do not wish for my soon to be wives and husband to die because we were not ready. If you can promise me this, I will take the throne at any time." I meant it when I said I would take the throne. I do not mind, and it will make things easier when setting up city defenses and making decisions. But I needed someone with experience to rule in my stead if I was busy leveling up.

The king's expression turned sour once more, but he still nodded his head reluctantly. "Then we will do it this way. After you graduate and gain the title of magic knight, we will have your wedding with your wives and husband, then do a coronation ceremony. But when you are leveling up, it will not just be me who helps take over things in your absence but also Lance."

"That is fine." I nodded. After all, this spot was supposed to be Lance's in the first place and he worked hard to learn the way of being a king. So this worked out well. Or at least we thought….

"Sorry Father, but I will be going dungeon diving as well. I need to level up more and will not be able to help rule the kingdom at that time." Lance, who was standing next to the king said, causing a dark expression to form on the king's face.

"Fine! Just do as you all please!" The king yelled out. I bet he was planning to leave it all to Lance so he could go play but looks like he won't get that chance now.

"Alright, then we will head back home. I need to check on my family." With things set, I just wanted to go home and check on my mother.

As we walked out of the throne room, Adel hugged my arm and asked: "Are you sure about this? You have been so against it all this time."

"Like I will be able to escape my duties once you take the throne. It matters not who is crowned queen as long as we can keep this kingdom running. Plus, this is the only way I can marry you and the others. With the way us four girls are now, our relationship is something we can not break apart so easily. And I also have Diablo. So this is just something that was bound to happen. But are you okay? I am taking your spot." I asked back. The title of queen was supposed to go to Adel. So I do feel bad about this sudden turn of events.

"It's fine. I already knew this would happen, I just didn't tell you." Adel replied with a sly grin causing me to frown.

I let out a long sigh of defeat as I reached over and pinched her nose. "Let's head back home."

There were lots to do still, and I wanted to prepare for what was to come. But first, before any of that, I have been way too long and want to spend some quality time with my family. When reached the house, the first thing I saw was my mother rushing over to me with tears in her eyes as she hugged me tightly. She didn't even say anything as she held on to me, not wanting to let me go. My brother, who was now looking more like our father every day, stood there with a helpless smile on his face. And my nephew, who had grown so much, stared at me from the side.

"Mother, I am home," I said softly, but she did not say anything as she hugged me even tighter.

"When she heard you were coming back, she waited here the whole morning, not wanting to miss it when you arrived." My brother said as he walked over and rubbed my head.

"How has she been?" I asked.

"Her regression seems to have hit a stopping point. But she keeps having weird dreams. I am not sure what they are, but she keeps saying a bloody war is coming."Hearing my brother's answer, I frowned. Because a bloody war would not be too far off. I sighed and used appraisal on my mother.

[Lilith Cyrilia]

[Age: #$^%]

[Race: &@^#]

[Health: !&@#^/ !&@#^]

[Mana: !&@#^/ !&@#^]

Seeing the strange symbols, I frowned. It was never like this before. "Brother, take Mother and have her sit in the other room. There is something wrong with her beyond just regression and dreams."

"Diablo, Iena, come with me, please." I only had these two I could consult with on this. The strange symbols were blocking what should be readable.

I hurried to my bedroom and set up a soundproofing barrier as I sat with Diablo and Iena. Adel and Sophie were here as well. "Faith, what is wrong?"

"Look…." I said as I showed the stat window I had to everyone present using magic. "These are my mother's stats which should be readable, but now they are nothing but symbols."

"This is….." Diablo's eyes widened. "Faith, can you summon another Demon King? Amongst us is a scholar named Freidinia. She is highly intelligent and knows many ancient languages. I had once seen this language in her study. So she might be able to tell us more."
