Lackey's Seducing Survival Odyssey

He stood up and added, ”Tell Lyirrs to prepare the thrusters as soon as possible. We canʼt afford any delays, and we need as many people as we can. Iʼll handle the negotiations with the other Empires.”

Drakhairs nodded as he stood as well, bowing his head deeply in acknowledgement, his expression serious and focused.

Aether turned to leave, but before he could take another step, Drakhairs suddenly spoke again.

”Dragon Emperor.”

Aether flinched, his thoughts briefly halting. ʼDragon Emperor?ʼ he wondered, puzzled by the sudden shift in Drakhairsʼ address. Before he could react, Drakhairs was already kneeling before him, taking Aetherʼs hand with great reverence and respect, his gesture almost ceremonial.

Rustle, rustle!

Two enormous wings rustled, so powerfully that they nearly tore apart the grounds beneath them and destroyed things on itʼs path...

ʼHe is the one who is going to repair it,ʼ Aether thought inwardly.

[Tsk, Donʼt be a dick!😑]

ʼ... You are getting really annoyingʼ Aether commented before focusing on Drakhairs.

Drakhairs spoke with a deep promise in his voice, his tone unwavering,

”Fear not, Your Majesty.

I have witnessed your worthiness, seen the sacrifices you have made, and the burdens you have borne for this Empire—a land that was once on the brink of ruin, crumbling under the rule of those unworthy.

The previous Emperors bound me with their disgusting horns, forcing me into silence, reducing me to nothing more than a tool for their ambitions.

I was a blade with no purpose.... a dragon with clipped wings!” There was a pain in his tone at the end before continuing with proud and blazing fire on his eyes,

But now, I stand before you of my own free will... No, Not only me but also the people who once were bound by the chains...

You have lifted this Empire from the ashes, not for power, not for glory, but for the people!

The very people who now cherish you, who look upon you not with fear but with devotion!!

The people who, without hesitation, would lay down their lives for you.

You are not one of the so-called chosen ones of Arcane... and yet, to us—To us, the Dragons…

You are our Chosen Sovereign!

Your Majesty, MY one and only Dragon Emperor, I, Drakharis, swear upon my soul, my fangs, and my flames—

I shall be your weapon until my last breath.

A blade that shall never waver, never falter, and never turn against you, no matter what may come!!!!”

The voice boomed around Empire!!!!

As if the very Empire registering his words!

With that solemn reverence, he lowered his gaze, pressing his lips to Aetherʼs hand in a gesture of absolute loyalty!
