Chapter 743

Author: Zesty Zing
Freya had finally been given a chance to return to her human form, only to throw it away through her own carelessness.

She stared at the shattered pieces of the ring scattered across the floor, her heart filled with regret.

Oscar carefully gathered the fragments and placed them in a drawer.

After a moment's thought, he decided that wasn't secure enough. He wrapped them in a small pouch and tucked it close to his body instead, just to be safe.

"Go to sleep."

The rest of the night passed with

    As the Miller villa grew livelier, somewhere across Silverton, Lucius also rose early in his hotel room."What a beautiful day this is." He stood at the window, gazing out at the brilliant morning sunshine. "Hugh!"At his call, his bodyguard hurried into the room. "Archon!"Hugh looked exhausted, as though he had not slept properly in a long time. He had grown noticeably thinner, and the solid build he once carried with ease now appeared lean and worn.Lucius waved a hand with effortless confidence. "Prepare a formal introduction card. I'm going to the Miller household.""Yes, sir." Hugh lowered his head in acknowledgment, but when he looked up again, a flicker of confusion crossed his face.'Hadn't the Young Archon always despised the very idea of seeing Mr. Stone? Why is he suddenly so eager now? It doesn't make any sense. The Overseer is due to return soon. He knows exactly what future awaits him. Why is he walking so cheerfully toward his own death?'His thoughts churned in

He wrapped them in a small pouch and tucked it close to his body instead, just to be safe."Go to sleep."The rest of the night passed without incident.The next morning, the entire city of Silverton awoke buzzing with excitement. From 8:00 a.m. onward, the calls announcing arriving guests at the Miller household never ceased.Sirius had volunteered for the role himself. As the second successor of a martial family, he possessed the status and pedigree to announce the guests without slighting anyone who came to pay their respects."The Roxan family of Southbury, masters of the martial path. Two distinguished guests, including one

    "Who's there?"Perhaps his recent illness had left him sleeping less than usual, but lately, Oscar had found himself craving sleep more than ever.Dreams were wonderful. Every worry, every trace of unhappiness, simply melted away within them. If a person could live by consciousness alone, perhaps that would not be so bad. Every day would be filled with happiness and peace, untouched by the burdens of waking life.Oscar had been lost in a pleasant dream. The beautiful woman beside him had suddenly, for no reason at all, transformed into the little dragon.'How strange. She actually turned into a dragon.'When most people imagined someone turning into a dragon, they pictured something fierce, terrifying, or at the very least enormous and awe-inspiring. Yet she had become nothing more than a tiny little dragon.Was that not absurd?She did nothing but whine and whimper. She was gentler than any puppy or kitten imaginable. If every dragon in the Dragon Abyss were as harmless as the

    Had this arm somehow grown paler?Freya stared down at it. She often performed before large crowds and always took care to protect her skin, but her complexion had never been one of her best features. Yet the arm before her now looked as white and flawless as freshly fallen snow.It was smooth and delicate, too. Just looking at it made her want to reach out and stroke it. 'Looking at this, becoming a dragon might not be such a bad thing after all.'Despite everything that had happened, Freya's thoughts drifted completely off course. She found herself wondering whether, if she ever returned to being human for good, the rest of her skin might become just as flawless. If that were true, then perhaps these past few days as a dragon had not been a complete waste.She indulged in the pleasant fantasy until her dragon body grew too tired to hold the position any longer. Only then did she snap back to her senses.'Freya, you absolute fool. Your body might be changing, but your brain certa

    The ring lay right in front of Freya, and now she knew exactly what it could do.Who could possibly resist trying something like that?Freya certainly couldn't. She crept toward the ring until she stood right beside it.But how was she supposed to wear it? That was the real problem. She was nothing more than a little dragon barely 8 inches long. How large could her claws possibly be?She was far too small. The ring would never fit.She poked and prodded the opening with her tiny claws, but nothing happened.'This ring is way too big!' Freya scratched her neck with one claw.'Wait... maybe it would fit around my wrist instead!' The thought struck her all at once.The ring was far too large for one of her claws, but it might be just the right size to slip over her tiny wrist.As soon as the idea crossed her mind, she acted on it.The ring still looked oversized around her wrist, but it settled snugly enough into place.The instant it slid on, a deafening dragon's roar seemed t

    Freya's heart raced with excitement. She wanted nothing more than to slip inside that ring, take human form, and watch Oscar's eyes go wide with shock.Even so, she held herself back. She had seen everything that had happened that day.Oscar looked after the sisters well enough, but given who and what he was, he despised dragons to his very core. If she transformed from a dragon into a human now, would he see her as an enemy?And Oscar was no longer the sole authority in the Draconox Order. If something went wrong because of her, would he even be able to shield her from the consequences?As she watched him stroke her head with such tenderness, she could not help nuzzling against his hand.Maybe the reason he refused to wear the ring was that he could not bear to be parted from her.She still did not know what she truly was, but regardless of the form she took, she always felt that she and Oscar understood each other without words. He could not bear to lose her. She was certain of

    "Victor, we really have no money left!" George dropped to his knees. "We already repaid the 60,000 dollars we borrowed from you. Over the years, it was 6,000 here, 6,000 there. Now it's somehow 600,000? How are we supposed to come up with that?"He pressed his forehead to the floor. "Please. Leave

    Rain streamed down Oscar's face and soaked through his clothes, but he felt none of it.For years, he had given the Chamberlain family everything.Amara's Chamberlain Group would never have risen to the top of Silverton without him supplying her with intelligence day after day, placing winning str

    "Mr. Chamberlain, I'm sorry." The doctor slid the lab report across the desk. "Brain cancer. Late stage."Oscar Chamberlain stared at the doctor for several seconds, then lowered his gaze to the two words on the page. The paper was still warm from the printer. The sharp, chemical smell of ink hit h

    "Shouldn't you be showing Amara some respect?" Clara said.Oscar smiled.Clara couldn't tell what the smile meant."Miss Amara, do you feel the same way?" he asked.Amara swept her gaze over the people standing behind Oscar. She recognized several faces among them. They weren't people she could
