Chapter 71 Reunion Pt. 3

Traveling throughout the castle, Lisa excitedly filled Exedra in on everything he'd missed in their time apart.

She expressed her difficulties in mastering lightning body, learning to use spear type weapons and even her discovery of a noble dragon's pride.

She was proudest of her mastery over lightning body, as it was incredibly difficult and painful to fully master but she accomplished it all the same.

Imagine how shocked she'd be if she knew Exedra could immediately use lightning body as soon as he crushed the affinity stone?

Exedra immediately noticed how much Lisa had changed.

Her steps that were previously shy and small were now regal and confident.

Her entire presence radiated a nobility that could be felt even if one wasn't a dragon.

While she was still his loving wife, she no longer had any doubts about herself or whether she deserved to stay at his side.

Her new mindset was that she deserved everything she desired.

There was no exception.

If she wanted it, she would take it.

That was the right of the strong, and now it was her right as well.

That is what it means to have the pride of a noble dragon.

As the group walked through the castle, Exedra frowned when he realized they were heading toward an area of the castle he hardly frequented.

He was so unfamiliar with the current path, he was being led completely by Lisa toward their destination.

Arriving at a giant metal door at the end of a dark hallway, Exedra finally couldn't hold in his curiosity any further and finally asked the burning question. "What room is this?"

Lisa was seemingly in deep thought over how to answer that question as she rubbed her chin with a cute expression. "Well I guess it's her lab now?"

"Huh?"

Chuckling, Lisa decided it was better to just show her husband and she quickly opened the heavy metal door.

Screechh!!!

As the giant metal door creaked open, the entire group was assailed with the thick scent of poison and the rotting smell of death.

Seras and Exedra immediately felt their bodies tense up.

Walking through the door, Exedra flinched when he got a surprise message from the system.

Exedra blinked several times reading his wife's stats.

While most of her stats were low, her mana pool was tremendous.

It was almost double his!

"My wife is amazing." Exedra planted another kiss on his wife's forehead before he pulled her in for a hug.

"But what is all of this?" He finally asked about their morbid surroundings and Lailah immediately stiffened.

"This.." Lailah took a deep breath before she looked into her husband's eyes. "This is my strength."

Lailah then proceeded to explain the circumstances that led to her making the dungeon her laboratory and how all of these men ended up here.

The entire time she was explaining her aura was flickering rapidly, an indication of how nervous she was feeling.

"So… what do you think?" After she finished her explanation, she waited to see her husband's reaction with baited breath.

Exedra could only smile bitterly when he saw his wife's state.

'Just what kind of man does she think I am?'

"I'm glad you found something to make you strong my love." He smiled.

Exedra felt nothing for these men or the families they may have left behind.

He was only a little disappointed he couldn't kill them himself.

Anyone who dared to covet what was his would face the worst ending imaginable.

With that, Lailah unknowingly breathed a sigh of relief as a huge burden was just lifted from her shoulders.

Even if her mother in law told her that her son wouldn't care, there was still a small part of her that would always be worried.

"S-so does that mean I can show you my research?" Lailah's eyes became as big as saucers and Exedra couldn't help but think she was terribly adorable like this.

"Of course you can my love."

Lailah hurriedly retrieved her notebook from the table and proceeded to give Exedra a crash course in everything she'd discovered since she'd began.

-

"So, where is Bekka?" Exedra finally asked about his missing wife when they'd left Lailah's lab.

He was very curious to see how she'd been doing after their time apart and he desperately missed the feeling of having all of his wives by his side.

When Lailah and Lisa heard his question, they both gave eachother hopeless smiles before they informed him of her whereabouts.

"Well she's…"
