THE DRAGON KING'S SOUTHERN CONSORT

CHAPTER 10 WHAT HAVE WE HERE? PART 2

Daniels POV

As I turned around I was met with one of the empresses, Alice Magus, "Greetings your majesty the first empress." They all got up and bowed to her, I followed suit and had the kids do the same, "Well it seems your children are extremely well behaved, not like most children their age. You must be one exceptional parent." The first empress praised me, I honestly couldn't believe this was happening, "Thank you majesty, my children are very friendly and very well mannered, they were taught by their father, Tyler Gemson." Once I say my brothers name she changes very quickly,

"Oh I see your the gem dragon that Darren won't stop talking about, the one who got all upset because your brother lost to him." She says with distain, "Did she say gem dragon?" One of the clan leaders behind me asked the others, they all started whispering and looking at me in awe and what looked like admiration.

"Yes I am the gem dragon he talks about, the same one who much like these men behind me lost a loved one because of your husband, the same husband who, tried to trick me into falling for him." As I finished my sentence the first empress looked absolutely livid,

"How dare you?! If these omegas family members had supported the emperor then there wouldn't have been a need for him to invoke the death combat, if they had backed the emperor then they'd be living in luxury like the others behind me." She stated smugly, I stepped up to her,

"There were hundreds of different ways Darren could have proven himself to the clan leaders but he chose to invoke something that would result in the death of countless innocent people just to prove a point, that he was powerful, those are not the actions of a true leader those are the actions of a tyrant and a bully. And to top it all off he forced these innocent omegas behind me to be mated to his personal guards, and allow them to be beaten and abused by their own mates just to keep them in line, and you have the audacity to claim he's a good leader?

And as for the men behind you they helped your husband lure their own family out of hiding so he could kill, and all for power and prestige, they're the biggest examples of traitors I've ever seen in my life." After I finished my sentence the first empress looked at me in shock and the omega clan leaders behind me looked at me in pure admiration.

After our little talk, the first empress just huffed off and left, the dominant clan leaders looked at me as I glared at them, then they looked away.

Just then the new mates of the omega clan leaders came over to talk to their mates, I could see the fear in their eyes as they came over, the other omegas looked down in submission and fear.

"Well what have we here?" One of the guards that came over asked as he sat down next to his mate, "I hear someone is spreading rumors about abuse again, you all wouldn't happen to know anything about that would you?" Another guard asked while getting behind Marco, trying and succeeding in intimidating him, "Nnnno, no idea." Marco stuttered out, "Interesting, because the first empress seems to think that we're abusing you all, but that's not the case now is it?" The guard who was behind Thomas Frost, asked but I could definitely hear the threatening tone,

"If you want to prove you're innocence then threatening them in front of me is not helping your case." I butt in, then they look at me, "I'm sorry but who are you?" The guard behind Ronan asked me, "I'm Daniel Gemson." I answer and see the wide eyed and suddenly scared look on their faces, "Forgive us for not realizing who you were soon to be fourth empress, but we're not threatening our mates, we're simply talking to them." One of the other guards tries to reason with me, but I'm not buying it for a second.

"I can clearly see the bruises on them that they try to hide, plus the moment you came over to them they were terrified of you and refuse to look you in the eye, not only that but seeing as you just said that the first empress told you about our talk leads me to think that she knows about you abusing your forced mates, and possibly even Darren himself knows, although judging by your uncomfortable looks when I mentioned him leads me to believe that he doesn't know but the first empress does and is helping you keep it a secret." From the way they refuse to look me in the eye I can tell I'm right on the money.

And just when I'm about to speak the announcer says, "His highness Emperor Darren Stoneright and his brothers the beta emperor West Stoneright and the gamma emperor Chase Stoneright and their wives!" Everyone gets up and bows, "We greet the three emperor's and empresses!" Everyone says at the same time. "All may be seated!" Darren bellows out, everyone stops bowing, "let the party commence!" Darren says and then the music starts up again, and Darren and his brothers come down the stairs, and I go to Darren, he sees me and smiles, "Daniel, you made it, you look amazing in that suit." He says seductively, I blush furiously then shake my head, "This is no time for affection, I need to talk to you." I say seriously, he furrows his brows in confusion but nods his head then leads me to his office, the first empress and those guards need to be stopped.
