Chapter 377: Chapter 294: Selection of Consorts

Aetheria, The Dragon Clan.

Mael Valerius, after a two-day baptism in the Sacred Pool, combined with various precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, had his strength restored to the eighth level.

Just as he left the Dragon Clan Sacred Pool, he was summoned to the Dragon Abyss Hall by Horace Valerius’s attendant.

Inside the Dragon Abyss Hall, several Dragon Clan Elders had already gathered.

Upon seeing Mael Valerius arrive, the elders cast curious and strange glances at him.

It was evident that they had heard about Mael Valerius’s memory loss and his furious attempt to forcibly dissolve his bond with Luna Sutton after discovering the truth.

More than just heard, this matter had spread like wildfire throughout Aetheria, almost every beast was aware of it.

Mael Valerius paid no mind to the curious gazes of the elders; he walked unwaveringly into the hall.

“Greetings, Father.”

He stopped in the center of the hall, nodding slightly to Horace Valerius, who was seated in the main seat above.

“Haha, Mira is finally out. How is your health?”

Horace Valerius, seeing his son, was very pleased, and as he spoke, he had already risen to come down.

“Thank you for your concern, Father. I’m much better now.”

Mael Valerius’s voice was indifferent, then he looked at Horace Valerius, “May I ask why you summoned me?”

Horace Valerius chuckled twice, “I called you here to let you know that the invitations have been sent to all the clans. Tomorrow is the day of the banquet. The clan leaders and elders will all bring noble females. The banquet is to celebrate your awakening and to choose a main wife for you. Don’t act up tomorrow.”

He really didn’t trust this son too much, fearing that this scoundrel would go mad again and ruin a perfectly good banquet.

That’s why he specifically called him in to explain.

“Father, rest assured, I’ll definitely attend the banquet on time tomorrow and choose a noble, well-mannered female as my main wife.”

After leaving these words, Mael Valerius turned indifferently, but then subconsciously pressed his hand to his chest as he was about to leave the Dragon Abyss Hall.

There was an emptiness there that made him want to kill.

Horace Valerius didn’t notice his son’s abnormality. Seeing his straightforward agreement, a weight lifted from his heart.

As soon as Mael Valerius left the Dragon Abyss Hall, an attendant approached to report, “Young Master, The Black-armored Guard has already departed for The Lower Domain…”

Mael Valerius continued walking, his dark gold eyes sweeping over the distant sea of clouds, “Let them go; Father always acts with prudence.”

He suddenly stopped, looking towards the horizon where the outline of mountains appeared faintly.

With a single claw tearing through the void, he could go there to The Lower Domain.

For a moment, he absurdly wanted to chase after them and demand some clarity.

But this thought only lasted a moment before he quickly extinguished it.

It was all over; there was no meaning in asking anymore.

The next day, when the morning sun pierced through the clouds, the entire Dragon Clan was decorated brightly.

Mael Valerius stood before the mirror, letting the attendant tie a dark gold beast hide belt for him.

The beast hide ceremonial attire was layered in such a way that it made breathing difficult, much like the invisible wound on his chest.

“Young Master.”

The attendant approached with the Jade Crown, “The Clan Leader said…”

“Get out.”

Mael Valerius suddenly tore at his collar, his dark golden eyes filled with irritation and violence.

He didn’t even know where this surge of irritation and violence came from, just suddenly had the urge to kill.

The attendant dared not stay any longer and scrambled away in fear.

Mael Valerius stared at his unfamiliar reflection in the Water Mirror. Was this Dragon Clan Young Master, bound by rules, truly him?

The hall door was suddenly pushed open, and Xylon Phoenix staggered in, reeking of alcohol, “You brat, what’s with the sour face?”

Mael Valerius didn’t turn around, “Uncle, you’ve walked into the wrong place.”

For having forgotten everything about Luna Sutton, he also forgot the truth that his aunt died of anger caused by Xylon Phoenix; otherwise, he would not have such a good temper.

“Who says I walked into the wrong place?”

Xylon Phoenix snatched the Jade Crown from his hand, attempting to put it on him, “Your dad asked me to check on you, to prevent you from going mad again.”

He suddenly leaned in, a curious look on his face, “I heard you forgot that girl?”

Mael Valerius, of course, knew who he was referring to, speaking indifferently, “Forgot.”

He really did forget, just that there was always an inexplicable emotion in his chest, even he couldn’t understand it.

“Better to forget, a female from The Lower Domain is unworthy of you.”

Xylon Phoenix patted his shoulder with a smile, thinking of his son Soren Phoenix, which filled his face with melancholy, “If only that scoundrel could forget as well.”

Mael Valerius knew his uncle was referring to his cousin Soren Phoenix.

After waking up from a coma on Aerock in The Lower Domain, he saw Soren Phoenix with that female called Luna Sutton acting intimately, speaking for each other at every turn, how could he not understand the relationship between them?
