Votes This Chapter
>Main Quest?< After meeting with his Mother, Kurask has now learned that he must make haste and ingest magical items, creatures, or people with haste to properly settle his soul into his body, or bad things will happen! Of course, there’s plenty of ways to find magic, even ways not pointed out by the ladies around the table! What course of action does he want to pursue first?
Important Note: Another vote will take place after this to determine the course of action with respect to the path chosen. For example, if the general sentiment is A: The College of Arcane, the next vote will decide if Kurask will raid and pillage the College, or deal with them in a more mercantile sense.
Vote Options
A. The College of Arcane: A magical college, filled to the brim with wizards and sorcerers and all their magical creations. A source of magic, both artificial and natural, that isn’t to be overlooked by the Magic hungry Kurask.
B. Tree of Spirits: A mystical tree who sports magical prowess in every leave and branch! There’s plenty of history around Dragon’s gnawing of trees, right?
C. Great Hero’s Labyrinth: The Labyrinth created by the Church as a training area for the Hero, filled to bursting with all kinds of monsters too dangerous, and magical, to be aloud to roam the world free. There will certainly be plenty to eat there!
D. The War in Galdar: The Jawrl Empire has invaded the Galdar Kingdom, Princess Genevive’s home and supposedly the Kingdom Kurask lives in. That war zone is probably a pretty high, if temporary concentration of magic!
E. The Leviathan Coast: A place where Sea Dragon’s gather, there are legends that state something powerful enough to attract them lay beneath the waves. Kurask can swim, right?
F. Audience Suggestion! Make up some other kind of magical spot that sound interesting! If enough people vote for it, I can try and incorporate it into the story somehow!
----------
>Duty of the Princess< Princess Genevive desperately wants to return home to assist with the war effort however she is able. Regardless of the Quest Kurask decides to embark upon, he still must decide what to do with her. Keeping her as his slave concubine certainly wouldn’t have as many problems as he thought before, since her Kingdom is currently embroiled in a war and they can’t spare knights and would-be rescuers to send to try and help her, while returning her isn’t really guaranteed much of a reward, since, again, currently in the swing of full-scale war. Still, the Princess herself likely wouldn’t be happy if Kurask didn’t at least let her visit her family.
Vote Options
A. Appraise the Situation on his own before making a decision.
B. Bring her back to her Kingdom, but only temporarily. She is his possession now, she is no longer the kingdom’s Princess!
C. Bring her back and allow her to resume her duties. She can be his in private, and the normal royal she was born as in public.
D. Refuse outright. There is no point in bringing her back, her life and body are now his to do with as he pleases!
----------
>By the Power of Dragon Cock!< Evelyn and Black-Talon, as his thoroughly loyal slaves, decided to try filling themselves with his amply available seed while he was asleep, and as it turns out, they’ve begun to pop out Kobolds non-stop! The little creatures are a bit like draconic goblins, capable of intelligent thought, but only barely. They can use tools, follow orders, and understand instructions, but they don’t have much in the way of personality or true feelings and intelligence. They are loyal minions, through and through, more than Kurask’s actual children. There are two decisions to be made regarding them though: What to do with them, and should Kurask’s slaves keep making them? The former question will be answered next chapter, so for now, should Kurask stem or continue to flow of Kobolds from the loins of his lovers. Or possibly even...increase his breeding stock? The Princess and Dame Lokia haven’t been impregnated yet, after all!
Vote Options
A. Leave the Current Breeding Cycle in place. Evelyn producing one Kobold every two weeks, while Black-Talon gives birth to one a month.
B. Stop his slaves from Birthing Kobolds. While the Cycle of Kobold births might seem unstoppable, Kurask can consciously will it to cease, if he wishes.
C. Impregnate Princess Genevive and Dame Lokia as well! The more minions the better!

1-C. Its the safest choice I think. D and E are too dangerous and the other choices feel like wed be stepping over peoples toes (making enemies)
2-C. I think it best to have a slave in a moderate position of power. Who knows, maybe she'll be queen one day.
3-A. They seem to enjoy it, and it couldnt hurt to have more of em. More mouths to feed sure, but im hoping at some point they can start afk working for us.

+1 to these choices, I can agree with all of them, though I'm a bit back and forth on 2. A, B, and C are all good, in my opinion.
So, my thoughts: 1C - Probably not a huge threat to us, we get to eat our fill of monsters, might find a cute little pet if we're lucky, maybe manage to 'claim' the dungeon and take over, and, in my opinion most importantly, we'll be able to get some quality time with the heroine. We'll be either alone, or in a small group with her at all times, allowing her to get acclimated to us, and maybe we can properly apologize and explain our circumstances. And finally we might opt into a situation where we can...accidentally *wink wink* enslave her as well.
As for 2C - As Graywolf below pointed out, C has the potential of getting her killed, so A would let us check in without risking her at all, and B would let us go there, provide some moral, and perhaps some temporary aid to scare off some of the enemy troops, making it easier to hold them off. So I'm leaning a little more towards A/B, but C works as well, but with a little more risk. And I'm not mean enough to just ignore this.
3A - We all have our vices. No judgment, and no forcing it on others. That's something no one likes, is it not? Though if it gets too out of hand or something, we reserve the right to put a stop to it and hold an intervention, yeah?

Vote 1: I'm voting for C. I would like to do D for the princess but we're still kinda new to this. C would give us a chance to learn how to fight and THEN we could go burn down a kingdom.
Vote 2: B, I would prefer C if fighting the invaders was chosen but I'd rather not dump her at home just to have her killed or kidnapped again because we ignored her request. I'd be fine returning her to the kingdom if we take the war mission at a later time.
Vote 3: If we can go halfsies on C and only impregnate the princess then I'd like C. I'd like to have Lokia combat capable should the need arise. If it isn't possible to chose just one than I'd like A and keeping it as it currently is.

1: E. Sea dragons in themselves are probably magical. Better yet if we can enslave one we might actually get someone who can fit our cock.
2: C. Works best with getting ourselves in a secret position of power.
3: C. These kobolds might not be very useful now but they've literally just been born into the world. Who knows how useful they might turn out to be. At the very least they might be handy for digging up magical ores.
Set this as a condition for the princess to go back to her people, if she was so willing to try dictate what we'd do for her we'll let her go but this is the price for that arrogance.
We won't force her to do it, because it's more fun if she chooses to do it because she has no other choice.

1.C the others are too dangerous or other wise potentially problematic at his current size and strength
2. B with a chance of C later when and if we decide to interfere with the war
3. C but we are missing something here, if we are going for maximal minion production the heroine is a valid choice as well, we are already this far in, collar her to and let her become part of the harem, we shouldnt kill her but if she really does have a chance to become powerful enough to easily best us, and she does seem to be getting stronger, we should probably have some protection, like a magically enforced contract, against her deciding we are the enemy once she thinks she can beat us.
also another unrelated vote that you didnt ask for.
Kurask should be trying to grow not shrink. Hes a dragon and now knows of a magic item factory we can get something in the future that will allow him to change his form temporarily as needed, best to default to being big and strong with thick scales.

The Power of a Dragon is not purely proportional to size. Kurask can have as much 'defense' as a smaller dragon as a larger one would, because his hardness is based on magic, not his physicality. In that way, being smaller actually makes him tougher, since his defenses are more concentrated. There's a limit, obviously, but what you say can also be used in reverse. He can be small normally, and when he wants to be large to intimidate or devour something, he can grow temporarily! Being smaller as the default will just generally be more convenient, with mass transport really being the only instance I can think of which would be convenient to have a larger body, and that can be solved with some creative engineering, since Kurask will be just as strong as a larger dragon, he'll just lack the surface area to carry large amounts of stuff.
And as a more important point, no one will expect Adult-Ancient Dragon Power coming out of a Welp Sized Dragon. Dragons are too prideful and arrogant to ever consider giving up their size, since the natural mentality is 'bigger is better', but if you aren't trying to sit around your hoard or simply hunting and pillaging outdoors, it's hella inconvenient to be massive all the time

1) C - I just hope some of those monsters are sexy monstergirls.
2) C - I like the idea of having some control of the royalty. (I wonder if we can meet more interesting women while we are there.)
3) A - Making an army from slave contracts one at a time will take forever.
I do hope the transformtion don't involve becoming a humanoid form. I feel the whole point of being a dragon is to be a flying lizard of destruction... Maybe temporary shifting "parts" of oneself to fit the ladies...?
P.S. I'm enjoying the story Arthotus, thank you!

Don't worry, Kurask will always passively be a Dragon! He will almost definitely gain the ability to transform into something more human/disguise himself as a human temporarily, but his natural form will always be a Dragon. I won't 'human' wash him, don't worry.

1) D
The way I see it, this one has a deadline that could be coming soon, so despite the potential danger and our lack of preparation, this might be the only chance we have to act on it.
2) A
I think we should get a better idea of the situation before deciding about the princess. As others have said, we don't want to leave the princess there if she's going to be in danger, but if it seems to be going favorably, and especially if we help out, it could be to our benefit to have her stay as our representative in the royal court. At the very least, I think we could provide enough protection to let her visit her family. Who knows, maybe there are other princesses who would like our protection...
3) A
It remains to be seen how useful kobolds are, but it shouldn't be a problem to maintain the current status quo, as long as Evelyn and Black-Talon seem to be enjoying it. A question I have, though, is if these are the only offspring possible with our current harem. If we can directly control whether or not they produce these kobolds, is it possible to control or direct the development of our offspring into something with potentially more intelligence? Or maybe encourage certain traits that could be useful? What comes to mind immediately is encouraging Black-Talon's offspring to develop wings. Stuff like that which could make some sense.
As always, I'm really enjoying your work and looking forward to what happens next, whatever we end up deciding to do.
