Love Me, Dragon Twenty One
CHAPTER 21 AMELIA My mind was still occupied by what just transpired between Alaric and me, at this point, I knew it wouldn't be long before we went all the way. Somehow I feel I am ready, I love him and he loves me so much too. Although I had not told him yet, I was sure I did. "You spent a whole lot of time in the bathroom, were you that nervous?" Constance asked as I tried to regain my composure. My legs were still shaky, and I squeaked. "Yes, I was adjusting my corset, a string pull," I lied, it wasn't exactly a lie when Alaric had lifted my skirt. "Oh, my lady, you did it all wrong," she snorted, making her way to me to help me fix it, while my eyes trailed as I saw Lucia approach me, she had a feigned smile on her face. Right now she is the last person I want to interact with. I am already so tense as it is. "Well, well, well, if it isn't the lucky one, don't think that sprinkle of luck you had in the fashion show will happen again," she said and I frowned. My heart ski

CHAPTER 22 ALARIC Why don't things come easy to me, how was I going to make this right? There is no way I was going to disqualify Amelia, she is the love of my life and that was something I wasn't going to let go of. A lot of eyes were on me to see what I was going to do, there had already been rumors and talk of me trying to favor Amelia, now I was about to damn all consequences. Why would Amelia make such a costly mistake like this? I stood there, surrounded by a web of confusion and conflicting opinions, my mind was in turmoil. The incident with the bad food had thrown everything into disarray, and now Lady Giselle was apologizing profusely, ordering the food to be discarded immediately. "I am sorry your majesty, we don't know how this slipped past us, we tasted all the food, guards throw away this atrocity right now," she blurted out in understandable confusion, she was partially to blame for this, it was her place to taste all the food before it was brought forward to me

CHAPTER 23 AMELIA I walked briskly through the garden, my heart pounding with a mixture of excitement and uncertainty. It was a close call, I almost lost everything in a blink of an eye. I was about to give up, on my dreams, on Alaric but no, that couldn't happen, he was too much a part of me for me to just let go of. Spotting Alaric, my breath caught in my throat. As our eyes locked, he pulled me into a bare hug, his arms enveloping me, and a surge of warmth spread through my veins. I knew why he did this, he felt the close call lost, as much as I did. While he was standing there, looking so confused as everyone expected him to disqualify me, I could see the torment he was going through. I wouldn't have even blamed him, if he had done that. He had little to no choice at that point and I knew it. Before I could fully comprehend what was happening, he leaned in, capturing my lips in a kiss. The kiss was soft and tender at first. The kiss was a combination of emotions, everything

CHAPTER 24 ALARIC Today was the day I would be spending with the ladies, it would be supervised. The setting was made in such a way that we would have a whole lot of audience watching and listening to us as we went on a date. It would last for an hour for each lady and get to talk to them, know what they fancied. I was looking forward to It, I know I already had a pre-existing bias, because I wanted to be with Amelia but I also just wanted to get to see for myself how I felt for other ladies. I sat across from Lucia, the air brimming with anticipation, I couldn't help but feel a tinge of apprehension. Our conversation started off with the usual pleasantries, but something felt off, scripted almost. I longed for genuine connection, for a glimpse into her true self. I know that people say a lot of things about her but maybe I could find out something about her that made her special. "You look beautiful today," I complimented Lady Lucia and she grinned at me, it was a soft grin, not

CHAPTER 25AMELIAIt was almost my turn to have my date with Alaric, I had sat down to listen to his date with other ladies, I can't lie, at one point I was jealous because I felt he was giving them so much chance to actually talk and prove themselves. I didn't know what exactly to do, but just to sit down and watch things unfold. But it was Bianca's date with him that caught my attention and a lot of other people's attention, they now believe I didn't want to win, some said it was a lie and that I had just played Bianca, that wasn't far fetched because I wasn't really completely honest with Bianca, I knew I needed to come clean before it was too late, but for now I needed to concentrate on making an impression. Constance and I stood in the grand hall, engaged in a rather unconventional practice session. She was determined to teach me the ways of ladylike demeanor, and I, well, I was doing my best to keep up. The struggle was evident on both our faces. "I watched the other ladies a

AMELIAI was overwhelmed with joy, as I knew I had done well on my date with Alaric. We had spent longer time than any other competitors talking. As Constance embraced me with joy, celebrating my successful date, I couldn't help but bask in the warmth of her support. Her words of praise uplifted my spirits, but little did I know that a storm was brewing in the form of Bianca. I knew this was the battle that awaited me after my date with AlaricIn the corner, Bianca pulled me aside, her eyes burning with accusation. "You're a liar, Amelia," she hissed, her voice dripping with venom.I was taken aback by her sudden hostility, my brows furrowing in confusion. "Bianca, what are you talking about? Why are you calling me a liar?" I knew I should be too forward about my approach with her, maybe she was talking about something else, at least I hoped.She scoffed, her voice sharp. "You tricked me, Amelia. You made me believe you didn't want to win this competition, so I would let my guard dow

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
