Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System

“A shard from the dungeon core? Sure I can have people look into it.” King Gravos replied while nodding his head. I was actually thankful for this help. While I did plan to give some to Thurul to see if he could craft it into something. Giving some to the kingdom would allow them to test it and see if it could be of any use in the future.

“Now then, Your Majesty, since the main topics have been discussed, may I approach you?” I asked. I now wished to give him a system stone. While I know he will not be able to level up due to his status, he could at least use the accumulated status points to extend his life and raise his health.

“Haha! I hate this stiff stuff!” King Gravos let out a loud laugh. Adel, on the other hand, looked back and forth between them. She seemed very confused.

“Adel, everything that was said earlier was for the ears that were listening in,” I explained lightly as I went to walk over to King Gravos.

“What!? So earlier when you said all those things…..” Adel cried out, unsure of what to make of the situation._.

“If I was really imprisoned. I would have left the kingdom on the surface. But I would have just hidden myself to keep those I care about safe..”  I replied with a smile as I turned to look at her.

“Adel, what Faith said is right. If she were to stick around after being imprisoned, it would have caused more of a mess. Her choice in saying all that and her thoughts are actually quite smart. While you might not get to talk with her much, she could still visit you ever so often.” King Gravos added, but Adel began to sulk.

“No!” Adel suddenly shouted. “Even if it is all a ruse, I do not agree! Faith did nothing wrong. Those people were horrible and beat up Grace when she stood up for Sophie and Sei. Their actions were not right! Plus, it’s not like Faith wanted them to die. She beat them up and locked them in the barrier because we all believed that we would be done soon.”

“Adel….” King Gravos let out a sigh. He could see the tears welling up in his daughter’s eyes.

I walked over and hugged her. “Adel, I know you care about me. You are my best friend and the first friend I have ever made outside my family. But you also have to put personal feelings aside for the kingdom with your status as a princess. You have people who rely on you. Plus, it was not like I was going to disappear, and I don’t plan to either. What was said was said because of those who were listening in on our conversation.” And I think it was a certain Prime Minister who was trying to listen in as well.

“But….” Adel looked up at me with teary eyes. I swear, with how pretty she is, it was a crime for her to look at me like that.

“No buts. Let’s not talk about this anymore. For now, you need to be a witness in case your father turns into a monster after he takes the blue pill.” I said jokingly. But I heard a dry cough from behind me. I turned to see the King looking at me with a suspicious gaze. I smiled and stuck my tongue out at him. With a faint nod from Adel, I walked over to King Gravos and presented him with a system stone.

“Your Majesty, this here is called a system stone. Adel and everyone else in my team who dived deep into the dungeon were able to gain a system. Systems allow people to level up and use their status points to raise their strength. While I know you will not be able to level up like others, I figure it would still be useful for you to have a system stone to gain the extra stats.”  I explained.

“A system….” King Gravos looked at the rock in my hand, then at Adel, who nodded her head before taking it. Just like the others, a menu popped up in front of him.  “Oh! This…. Do I just hit the yes button?”

“Yes,” I answered with a smile and nod.

I watched as he hit the yes button. As he did, his body glowed with a golden light that enveloped his body. “Oh ho! Now, this is quite interesting. Is this my current status?”

“Yes. Let’s see…. You have 630 status points. As Your Majesty will not be able to go out and level much. May I suggest that you split your points between Vitality and Mind? Vitality will raise your health while Mind will increase your mana pool and lifespan.” I wanted Adel’s father to live as long as possible. He was a good man and loved his kingdom.

“Mm… This is a good idea. I will do that.” King Gavos replied with a nod.

“Also.” I sent out a team request to him.

“This is?” King Gravos cried out in surprise when a new menu popped up.

“This is a team request. I am not sure if it will work or not, but I do plan to level up more than I already am. If you are in my team, you may gain experience. But I am not sure about this yet. I would need to kill a monster to test it.” I was unsure if this would work at all, but if it does, then that means King Gravos can level up possibly by being teamed with me. I can only hope that it will work.

“Hmmm… we can have a monster brought to the training grounds in an hour. We will test it then.” King Gravos was quick to come up with a way of testing things. But then again, I was unsure if normal monsters would even work for dungeons systems.

“I am not sure if a monster outside the dungeon will work, but we can test it. If anything, I can just head back to the dungeon and kill a few goblins since you said it reset.” We needed to test it either way so going to the first room to kill a goblin was not out of the question.

“Mm… We will do that before we announce your house arrest.” King Gravos readily agreed.

With that settled, I finally presented him with another stone.
