The Tales of Draconic Warlock

Finally, it was done. I have finally reached Tier-4. Now my parents can allocate some resources to me from the family without those elders interferring.

Every member would get basic resources from the moment they awakened but the quantity and quality depend on the talent of the person. During the training time, it would remain the same amount as decided after the awakening.

The next decision would be just before the academy. After going through the adventure training in the wilderness, the family elders expect the kids to have reached level 100 before they return. After that, they have to reach Tier-1 and this would be taken into consideration. Not only that, but the time required to complete the Tier-1 promotion mission also would be included.

Since I completed the mission and got promoted before the academy started, then it was basically settled that my resources wouldn't be less.

There are still a few problems that I need to overcome in the family, but there is one problem that stems from outside the family, a problem that may lead to more problems.

My fiance.

---

I had much time to think about the party of my fiance. My birthday is almost here and it made me think about my fiance's birthday. My parents wanted to throw a extravagant party and I didn't say no to that.

Even though I want to live a peaceful life, a life wouldn't be a life if you were all alone. I do need some companions and possibly a few girls to accompany me in my life. It would be the best way to live.

The thing I remembered when my birthday came was about that peaceful life. At my fiance's party, I met the guy who probably fancied my fiance and she is also into him. It kept me wondering what schemes those two would sketch and cause trouble for me.

If Elisha's family cancels the marriage on their own without any proper reason, they would lose their reputation and also would have to pay a penalty to my family for breaking the promise. If something happens to me and I die there would be n such thing.

Death may not be the only choice to break the marriage arrangement but it was the easiest one.

They can ruin my reputation and make my family cancel the marriage. It is also a good way but it takes a lot of time and I don't know if they would think that it's worth the wait. There is a high chance that they would plan something to besmirch my name or something along those lines.

I have read something of this plot in many novels. Though those novels only show that these kinds of situations only happen to the protagonist, that was not true. Many side characters face these types of situations but their stories wouldn't be significant in the novel. So those stories are often buried.

These can happen in real life very much but not many would see the light. This was because the victims most likely would have no strength to fight and would lose everything before they could even utter a word.

The world continues to spin and move on. It happens even if something like this happens to someone important. It would be discussed for some time before it would be buried.

Anyway, the reason I am sure was because of the Incubus that I have killed and devoured recently. I unlocked the Charm attribute and I am sure that it was very high with how other girls interacted with me at the party.

Charm doesn't work in certain conditions.

The first one is obvious. If the other person's Charm value is higher than yours, it would be of no use.

The second reason was why I was alarmed about them. If they have given their heart to others, there is a chance that the charm doesn't work properly even if there is a huge difference. This holds the same if the other person hates you.

The only way to overcome this was to use Charm Skills. I don't have any charm skills but have a trait but I didn't pay much attention to them at that time to make use of the trait.

"Inari, you said that you could smell that I am a virgin before we did it for the first time. You said that it was possible because of your skill. Is there any chance that I can learn that skill?" I asked Inari.

It would be useful for me to know whether my fiance already sold herself to William or not. If they already did the deed, then there is no way that we could get married. They would plot something against me and I would need to be guarded against them at all times.

Seeing the hesitation on Inari's face, "It's okay. If it was restricted by your family or something, then forget about it", I said.

There are many families that have their own inheritances that can't be shared with outsiders. My family does too and I wouldn't be too eager to spread them. They are after all the foundation of my family. If everyone had it, then it would become common and so would my family from that point.

Moreover, it doesn't matter whether they had done the deed or not. I can clearly that they have hots for each other, and that means they would do it sooner or later. So it doesn't matter at the end. I need to prepare for them, whatever the result might be.

Inari was relieved when she heard my words and spoke slowly, "It's not that I wouldn't teach you. It's that can't. It was the racial talent of the lust demons. So unless you become one, there is no way to get it".

Huh? Racial Talent?

What is that?

I never heard about this before. So not only there are awakening talents that I got when I awakened, but there are racial talents.

Wait if there are racial talents, then shouldn't I have one too but there was none? Do humans not have racial talents or is it because I have dragon's blood?

Inari spoke again, "Humans normally wouldn't have a racial talent unless they have bloodlines. So say this is the racial talent of humans because they can pick whatever racial talent that they want".

Wait, is there such a thing?

I have a dragon bloodline but don't have a racial talent. Hmm, looks like I should look into this further to understand more. Maybe I can find a way to awaken my racial talent.
