Chapter 4

Auteur: Anonymous
The wedding ended, but the episode spread like wildfire.

In public, everyone stayed silent, but privately, they gossiped that Marina's marriage was doomed and that she'd pay dearly.

Horace, humiliated, avoided her chambers, but a serpent woman, awakened to desire, could not endure such loneliness.

Marina was on her own, but I didn't have time to gloat. The mate-choosing session got cut short, but my body couldn't wait.

I planned to choose a male serpent for a brief indulgence. But that night, I lost control, grabbing a man passing the hills and pinning him to the ground.

It was my first taste of a man, and I couldn't get enough until dawn.

His eyes locked onto me. "You're bold, jumping a stranger like that."

I shrugged, pulling on my clothes. "Just a bit of fun. Thanks for the night."

He tried to say more, but I was gone, leaving only scattered traces behind.

Back at the palace, I meant to rest when muffled gasps came from Marina's room.

I rolled over in annoyance, thinking

  • Reborn Rivalry: She Stole My Dragon Prince   Chapter 10

    This child was sensible. He was easy on me during pregnancy and birth.It felt like a miracle.When I saw the soft, red bundle, I thought I was dreaming.Elio hadn't stopped smiling since the moment our child was born. He'd wandered half his life, never imagining a family.Now his wish was granted.Word of the dragon heir spread through the clan. This time, it was a true royal, red as tradition demanded.The Dragon King beamed, finally making peace with Elio.Horace, meanwhile, spiraled into despair. Stung by his lack of an heir, he drowned in drink.His drunken antics peaked when he tried forcing himself on a maid. Enraged, the Dragon King stripped him of his prince title.Horace blamed it all on his childless state, sinking deeper into debauchery. Young but broken, he took to his bed and wasted away.I visited Marina in the dungeon.Chained tight, her body was a map of scars, so thin she was almost unrecognizable.When she saw me in the princess consort's robes, her eyes

    Marina never saw this coming.She couldn't dodge as the sword sliced into her shoulder, carving off flesh.She collapsed, screaming in pain, "Why? I nearly died from giving birth to your child, and you want to kill me?"Horace laughed bitterly, "My child? Royal dragons are born red. There has never been a blue one. You cheated on me!"Marina didn't know this rule. She cowered, trembling until she saw me smirking behind Horace. That was when she realized everything."It's you! You set me up!" she snarled.I waved my hand, stepping back. "That's a baseless accusation. Even if I had magic, I couldn't change your kid's color. This is on you. You shamed the serpent clan."Marina nearly fainted from rage.She'd suffered through the birth of this child, dreaming of becoming queen. Now her hopes were crushed, and her shame was public.Seeing Horace's murderous glare, she fell to her knees. "For the sake of our love, spare me."If she were still her beautiful self, Horace might have h

    On Marina's delivery day, almost the entire dragon clan packed her room.She had boasted to everyone about birthing a dragon heir, so even the reclusive Dragon King showed up.Horace paced outside, itching to burst in. The others also waited eagerly for the heir's arrival.Marina's screams grew sharp, then faded. Her body was too frail, and the delivery took a toll on her.In my past life, I'd fainted multiple times during birth.Marina's cries lasted a full day. As the sun set, a baby's wail finally echoed.Joy spread across every face. That was the first heir in the new generation, and he might be a future king.In the crowd's anticipation, the midwife emerged, clutching a tightly wrapped bundle.Seeing the crowd, she panicked and went down on her knees.The Dragon King laughed, stepping forward to unveil the child. "Wonderful! My grandson is here at last. The dragon clan has an heir."But when he saw the baby, his expression shifted.Horace leaned in, then roared, "Why is

    Marina's belly grew massive, but she wasted away.Still, her eyes gleamed with manic excitement. The more her child thrashed, the happier she became, believing it meant a strong dragon heir. That secured her lifelong glory.Obsessed, she stroked her belly. "My boy, make me proud. Once you're born, no one will dare look down on us."The tonic I gave her, disguised as a nourishing elixir, made her glow but riled the child within. Yet it convinced her that I'd given her a treasure, and she upped the dose from once to thrice daily.Each time, her body drained further, like the child was sucking her dry.She writhed in pain, sweat soaking her bed. Still, she insisted it was a sign of a healthy heir.Five months pregnant, she bragged about birthing Horace's heir and becoming the princess consort. Her arrogance knew no bounds and left her no way out.At the same time, my belly was growing until I couldn't hide it anymore."Just like you, your kid is trash," she sneered. "It can't hold

    His voice brought back that night's passion.I spun around and shoved him back, but he wasn't mad, grinning like a harmless pet.I rushed forward, clamping his mouth shut. My voice was tight with panic. "Are you nuts? This is the Dragon Palace. If they catch you wandering, you're dead!"He didn't resist, but his gaze softened. "What about you? What are you doing here?"I snorted, sizing him up. I was sure he hadn't been in the palace in my last life.Dragging him along, I whispered, "Lady Marina has no appetite. She summoned me to cook. I wouldn't be here otherwise. This place is a maze of rules. One wrong step, and you're done."The glamorous life everyone envied was just my cage.Sensing my mood, he patted my head. "If you want, I can get you out of here."I took it as a joke, giving a bitter smile. All I wanted was for my child to be born safe. Whether this man knew or not didn't matter.Anyway, it was common for serpent women to raise kids alone.My baby kicked lightly, n

  • Reborn Rivalry: She Stole My Dragon Prince   Chapter 5

    When I felt the child stirring in me, Marina was pregnant, too.Oddly, men were always so sure of themselves in these matters. Horace never doubted that one rare visit had gotten her pregnant. Far from it, he showered her with gold and jewels.Marina, triumphant, called me to her room. Pointing at her treasures, she crowed, "See this? You'll never have it, reborn or not. Last time, you just got lucky. You'll never beat me."I nodded, playing along, but my mind was on my own child.I had run into that man near the Dragon Palace. He was likely a dragon, too.In my past life, pregnancy had wrecked me. I had gone from full-figured to skin and bones.There had been constant vomiting and countless sleepless nights. The child had been restless, kicking and clawing inside me. The pain had left me doubled over.Serpent women couldn't easily abort, so I had accepted it as fate.Marina mistook my silence for envy. Her smugness grew, her sallow face almost glowing. "I'm pregnant and cravin
