Love Me, Dragon 27
ALARIC I entered my chambers, a mixture of excitement and apprehension swirled within me. The five names echoed in my mind—Amelia, Charlotte, Jane, Bianca, and Lucia—the contenders I had chosen to accompany me. This time it was solely my choice, as I was the one on a date with them.Each one had captivated me in their own way, but it was Amelia who held a special place in my heart. She was the one that prove herself to not be scripted and reading straight out of a lady's handbook, I hope everyone had saw what I saw in her and no one would question when my final decision to make he my queen is made.Just as I began to settle into my thoughts, Boaz, my trusted advisor, entered the room. His face was filled with concern, and I knew something weighed heavily on his mind."Alaric, there's been talk circulating about your connection with Amelia," Boaz began, his voice laced with caution. "People are speculating that she may be the one to win your heart."A smile tugged at the corners of my

AmeliaDays here seemed to go slow, but I had found ways to keep myself busy. I lay in my bed, engrossed in a book, I heard a faint creak from the door. Startled, I turned my head to see Alaric, the king I loved , sneaking into my room. I couldn't help but arch an eyebrow at him, my curiosity piqued."Alaric, how on earth did you manage to sneak into my room? You're the king, for goodness sake! Someone would easily notice!" I exclaimed, a mix of surprise and amusement in my voice.With a mischievous grin on his face, he replied, "Ah, my dear Amelia, I have my ways. A king must keep his skills sharp, you know. Besides, I simply couldn't resist the opportunity to see you."I couldn't help but chuckle at his audacity. "Well, you certainly have a knack for surprises, Alaric. But what brings you here in the dead of night? Shouldn't you be attending to your royal duties?"He took a seat on the edge of my bed, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "Ah, my dear, it's the upcoming herbal tea co

AMELIA"I am losing my mind and I can't help it," I murmured. I prepared for the competition, Lucia, a rival contestant, couldn't resist the opportunity to taunt me. She approached with a smug smirk, her voice dripping with arrogance."Well, well, Amelia. I see you've managed to stumble your way into this competition once again. Just a stroke of luck, I suppose," Lucia sneered, her tone condescending.I straightened my posture, refusing to let her words dampen my spirits. With a playful smile, I retorted, "Ah, Lucia, always so charming with your compliments. But you know, luck can only take you so far. Perhaps today, it will be my skills that shine."Lucia's eyes narrowed, clearly taken aback by my confident response. She scoffed, attempting to regain her composure. "Skills? Please, Amelia. Everyone knows you're just a mediocre Lady, riding on the coattails of fortune. Today will prove that."I chuckled lightly, a twinkle of mischief in my eyes. "Ah, Lucia, you underestimate me. Whil

AMELIAAs the last day of the competition loomed closer, Alaric and I found solace in each other's company. We sat together, our hands entwined, discussing our hopes and dreams for the future. The weight of keeping our relationship a secret had taken its toll on us, and now, in this intimate moment, we poured our hearts out to one another."I can't believe it's almost over," I said, my voice trembling with a mixture of excitement and fear. "But I'm scared, Alaric. What if the last competition is something I can't do? What if I fail?"Alaric turned to face me, his gaze filled with unwavering confidence. "Amelia, my love," he said, his voice gentle yet resolute, "I've seen you accomplish the impossible. I've witnessed you learn new skills in a matter of weeks, defying all odds. Trust me when I say that there's nothing you can't overcome."His words touched my heart, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of determination. "But Alaric, what if this time it's different? What if it's beyond

AMELIALady Giselle's announcement hit me like a wave crashing against the shore. The final competition was indeed knitting, but not just any knitting—it was machine knitting. My heart sank, and a frown etched itself upon my face. All my practice and preparation seemed to crumble before my eyes."Machine knitting?" I muttered in disbelief, my voice filled with frustration. "Not even handmade knitting? This is not what I had anticipated."Constance, always my pillar of strength, gently placed a hand on my shoulder. "Amelia, my dear, I know it's not what you hoped for, but don't let it discourage you. You've come so far, and you can still give it your best."I sighed, my mind a whirlwind of emotions. "But Constance, I've practiced and honed my skills in traditional knitting. I have no experience with these machines. How can I possibly compete?"Constance's eyes sparkled with unwavering belief. "Amelia, remember that you are capable of learning and adapting. Even though it may be challen

ALARICBoaz, has become one person I trusted, and an ally, who seemed to be our beacon of hope in this dark hour. We poured our hearts out to him, sharing our suspicions about the sabotage of the knitting machine and our belief that Lucia was behind it all. However, we lacked concrete evidence to support our claims."Boaz," I said, my voice filled with a mix of frustration and determination, "we need your help. We suspect that Lucia tampered with the knitting machine, but we have no proof yet. We can't let her get away with this injustice."Boaz leaned forward, his eyes sharp and focused. "I've heard rumors about Lucia's cunning ways, but we can't accuse her without solid evidence. We need a plan, a way to uncover the truth and expose her."Amelia interjected, her voice filled with urgency. "Boaz, do you have any idea how we can gather the evidence we need? We can't let her win by deceit. The truth must prevail."Boaz pondered for a moment, his gaze fixed in the distance. "I may have

AMELIA"Why does love have to come so hard to me," I sat there, my mind filled with worry and uncertainty, a memory from my past floated to the surface. I could see myself as a little girl, sitting on a stool while my mother gently combed my hair. She had a warm smile on her face as she looked at me lovingly."You are so beautiful, Amelia," she said softly, her voice filled with affection.I gazed up at her with wide eyes, filled with wonder and curiosity. "Will I become a queen one day, Mama?"My mother's embrace tightened around me, and she whispered, "Yes, my darling. You are destined for greatness. One day, you will be a queen, ruling over a whole kingdom."I remember feeling a mixture of excitement and doubt. A queen? Me? It seemed like such a grand and distant dream. But my mother's words filled me with a sense of possibility, as if anything was within my reach.As the memory played in my mind, I could almost hear my mother's voice again, reassuring me of my potential. It was a

AMELIAThe next day, I confided in Alaric about what I had overheard from the maids. Anger and determination burned in his eyes as he insisted on confronting them immediately. Together, we sought out Boaz to discuss the matter and hopefully find a resolution.As we approached the maids, their eyes widened with surprise. "Amelia, Alaric, what brings you here?" one of them asked, feigning innocence.I took a deep breath, trying to remain composed. "We know about your involvement in the knitting machine sabotage," I stated firmly.The other maid scoffed, crossing her arms defiantly. "You must be mistaken. We had nothing to do with it," she replied, her voice dripping with insincerity.Alaric stepped forward, his voice stern. "We overheard your conversation yesterday. There's no use denying it now," he said, unwavering in his resolve.The maids exchanged nervous glances before one of them spoke up. "Look, Amelia, it's not what you think. We never intended for things to go so wrong," she b
