CHAPTER 596: CHAPTER 596 - THE BUG (PART 1)

For the last few weeks after Makisig gave birth to our beautiful set of twins, I started having this feeling of being watched at certain times of the day. It was not an unfamiliar feeling since Laerad sometimes checks on me but this one is more intrusive though. At the same time, I did not sense deity mana but a much weaker mana signature.

Based on the time period when it happened, it is safe to say that there is only one likely culprit that can monitor my movements without having to know where exactly I am. The dragons could not take it anymore and have finally come out of their hiding places.

I don’t know if their seer did this surveillance on his or her own accord or maybe he was asked by the leaders of Vlaelmundr to gather information about me. One thing is for sure, I have a new being who is volunteering to be bullied.

The seer must be confirming the recent release of a substantial amount of mana which occurred when my first set of mystique twins were born. They must be quite alarmed since it was followed by two more similar instances that were barely a week apart.

I couldn’t help but smile naughtily at this situation. Now the question is: Should I make contact with this interesting toy... err... umm... Dragon?

The first thing I did to start playing with him by hiding my location and leaving small wisps of mana here and there to make him run around finding me. I believe that my location is one of the first things that he or she would try to find out about me, next to whom I am in good relationships with.

Since he liked spying on me like some bug, I think it is also fair to do the same to him. I should also start my counter-spying activities and listen in to who he or she is meeting and what they are talking about.

One day as I felt that familiar peeping feeling in the morning, I decided to start my counter-spying of the unknown dragon "seer" for the first time since he started intruding into my privacy. When I did though, who would have thought that I would get to hear a lot of useful things?!

Since I have an almost inexhaustible amount of mana, I will have no problems spying on him even if I spend a whole day doing so. As for the one spying on me, he or she could only stay at it for half an hour a few times in a day.

Every time his spying time is up, his connection to me gets forcibly and abruptly cut. If I think about it, this would most likely be due to his mana running out or even due to health reasons or repercussions on his end. The next time that he was able to do his spying would be the next day, some time in the afternoon.

Today, I started my spying right before sunrise, since I am practically bored and got nothing better to do. As for the dragon bug that got bugged back, his day starts with a good shower, some meditation, then breakfast. All I could say was I admire the discipline to keep this kind of routine, that is, if he does do this every day.

Well, even without me wanting it, my "bugging" became a "peeping tom" activity even if I did not want to. My spying was more advanced that I could see what he could through his eyes, hear what he hears from his ears and feel everything he touches. It was a total sensory, well, delight.

Now, imagine what it was like when he takes a bath while washing every single part of his body, admiring his naked body in front of a mirror then dressing himself up. I am spying at him while he’s doing all those things so I am starting to feel a little bit guilty towards him... Or maybe not.

Well, he is a good looking per- er- dragon and I have confirmed he is a male when he looked at his own thing between his legs while bathing. I have also confirmed that he is a dragon due to the patch of scales by his collarbone and I think he is the rare type.

I thought he was a black dragon at first but he is actually of a deep purple hue when light hit the scales. From the books that I read back in the palace, there were only silver, black, red, green and golden ones.

Who knows? Maybe there are other colors available but they became extinct or were living in solitude somewhere hidden?

It is not like all dragons have to particularly live in Vlaelmundr especially now that they were all stuck in their human forms. The human realm just doesn’t have enough mana to support their transformation into their full form.

After seeing his morning routine and everything he has to offer, I heard the best thing that could possibly happen while I am spying on him. This dragon who I still don’t know what name he goes by, is calling an emergency meeting and asked all the dragon family representatives to come in the middle of the afternoon. I felt like I won the lottery or something with this new update.

I waited patiently for the time he has set and just accompanied him as he went around the territory of Vlaelmundr. He greeted some people, went to what looks like a library then ate his lunch then came back to most likely his house. It looks like he lives alone and that makes me wonder why.

After about 2 hours of laying idly on his bed while reading some documents, he stood up and changed to a much more formal-looking set of clothes. This must be what he wears for official work. After that, he left his house and went to a big building somewhere in the middle of the territory.

When he arrived in the room, he is still about 10 minutes early. As he opened the door, he had to enable the light stones then he sat down quietly and sighed. I heard him murmur, "I wonder how long will they make me wait again."
