MasukThis is the story of Millicent Walker, a mysterious orphan who arrives in the small coastal town of Crimson, mute, nameless, and with no memory of her life before. Hired out by the orphanage to pay for her room and board, her strange appearance and mannerisms lead her to be seen as a freak. To many, she was seen as having less value than the rags she used to clean the floors. When a blight comes to Crimson, the dragon demands a virgin "of marriageable age" as a sacrifice in exchange for his assistance. Seen as strange, even cursed, Millicent was an easy choice for the sacrifice. Loved and wanted by no one, there was nobody to fight for her when they chained her to the cart and left her at the base of the hill to be defiled or devoured. Little did they know, her sacrifice would be their biggest mistake.
Lihat lebih banyak' Fate.........is something that we can't control . No matter how much we are against it , no matter how much we hate it , we are forced to accept it as it is . We can't choose our birthplace , we can't choose our family , we can't choose even our own names . We can just wait until fate grants them to us . My name is Charlotte ! I am the second princess of the kingdom of Anadol . My father , the king of Anadol , is a pervert jerkass ! He made my innocent and beautiful mather fall for scum like him and become one of his concubines . A year later she gave birth to me . Knowing that I was a girl my bastard father didn't give a damn about me . My mother soon lost his favor when I was born because I was a girl . That's right ! Just because I was a girl . In the end , it's not like mom or I had a chance of choice over this matter, your sperm choose it . You understand.....What kind of low logic is that ?! Right ?!............
So much time had passed since the last time he saw me that , when he saw me , he even asked me who I was . I was so angry that my blood boiled with anger . Just thinking about my father gets my nerves up so I will talk about him in more detail later.........................My mother , the sweetest and innocent woman with a childish heart that one could ever meet but she comes from a poor family . My scum father was the first boyfriend my mother ever had . She was untouched when he met her as for the queen . She had been with at least five men before she got married to him............
My father was her last man ( or so it is said on the law papers of their marriage because a woman like her is far too greedy ) . Preferring a used woman over a virgin ?! How does the mind of 20th-century men work ?!...................Seriously , the most stupid thing that my mother has done in her life is trusting a scum like my father .
As for the queen........................she is the most poisonous snake in the palace . My scum father loves her so much that everyone is at her feet . Due to the fact that my mom has fallen from favor , we began to be treated as servants rather than as members of the royal family . If I were to tell anyone that I am a princess they would call me a liar because my hands are filled with callosity . Especially now in autumn when I have to take care of the laundry of the two daughters of the snake woman , Sara, and Kana ! My two stepsisters !
Although I attend Oxford school just like them , my reputation as the unwanted daughter is widely spread and as a result..................I have no friends ! The only friends that I had were those who wanted my notes because I am a very clever student , a prodigy . Even though I was a prodigy , my father didn't even bother to speak but just looked me in the eye telling me that I had to work harder and not be satisfied with just this little .
That is my life ! Doomed by fate to suffer in agony and in pain , all the mistreatment that I didn't deserve . The only escape that I could find for myself were the books . Despite my life being extremely harsh and suffocating , I felt peace and relaxation when I searched through the pages of a specific book . My imagination allowed me to travel wherever my heart desired and escaped the hellish place I was living even though it was just for an hour or less because the harsh reality of doing the chores and taking care of those annoying people called me . Serving them was the only way I could help ,my mother . She fell ill quite a lot because of the mistreatment she received from the queen . In order for my mother to not work anymore , I decided to do her other half of the chores too . It was hard but when I saw my mother welcoming me in the evening with a smile and a warm hug all that tiredness and pain of the day flew away .
And so.........this was my life..............I often wished for something to happen , for a way so that I could get as far as I could from this palace . I may have born a princess but I never was one so that title didn't matter to me . It didn't much of a difference to me if I didn't have the princess title anymore. I tried to escape many times but the guards always found me and my father would order them to lock me up in the basement where the criminals would stay . In the middle of that cold and scary atmosphere, I prayed for the night to go away and the sunlight of the day to come and shine the darkness surrounding me .
One day a messenger came and asked for the king to see him immediately . My scum father never allowed anyone to behave with such confidence as the messenger did . The first thought that came to my mind was that the person behind the messenger was a very powerful one .
After talking with the messenger the scum father called me and my two stepsisters to the throne room then looked at us with a serious expression . He stayed silent for a couple of seconds then said that a marriage proposal had arrived and that he was very interested in accepting it .
" Why do you look so serious dad ?! It's just a marriage proposal . " said Sara .
" If it was a simple marriage proposal , I wouldn't have to worry so much about this and sent one of you to marry off right now . The other person is extremely wealthy ." said the king .
" Send me father ! You won't be disappointed ! " said Kana with a smile .
" No , sent me ! " said Sara .
' Only marriage was lacking to make my life more miserable than it already is . A powerful and rich person is equal to high danger ! ' thought Charlotte with a disinterested expression .
" The other party isn't a person but...........a half-human and half-dragon . At least........he has a body similar to a human . " said the king with a serious expression .
" What ?!.............What did you say ?! " said the three of the girls with a worried tone .
" Apart from our world , there's also another world which is filled with magic , dragons and other creatures . I know it may be hard to believe but our ancestor comes from that world and now , the ruler of that world , the king of Dragons , is asking for one of your hands in marriage . He has stated pretty tempting conditions and also , if the order is not followed , we will all be killed . " said the king .
The two daughters disagreed as soon as their father explained the situation .
' This was the only opportunity given to me ! It was a dangerous one and a gamble but , it was worth gambling my life for . I had no joy nor anything in this world , only hell . Maybe........in the other world , I will be granted a chance to live . I can even get killed but..........rather than continuing to suffer here with mom , I will try this opportunity no matter what the result . ' thought Charlotte .
" I will go ! In exchange , i want you to divorce my mother and cut all ties with us . After the payment that it is promised to you as dowry , you will, not disturb us again . Deal , Your Majesty ?! " said Charlotte .
" I see ! I have nothing to lose ! Deal ! " said the king and so Charlotte's journey to the magical world started .
When she arrived at the castle , and saw the dragon king , she remained surprised . Just as the rumors said he was a true dragon in the shape of a human male's body but clearly stronger .
" From this day one, you will be my fiancee and eventually my wife . You can't escape anywhere ! " said the dragon king .
" I have no intention of becoming your fiancee or wife . " said Charlotte .
" Dare to defy me ?! Fine ! Be my maid then , Princess ! " said the dragon king .
" No problem ! Your Majesty ! " said Charlotte with a smile .
' I am more used in cleaning floors than wearing a crown . Thanks for your consideration ! ' thought Charlotte and started to work as a maid at the palace of the dragon king .
Charlotte worked as a maid and got along well with the other maids and servants in the palace . From a human world , she had traveled to a land in which things were much more different than usual . Charlotte and her mother had t adapt to a whole different culture . No ! To a whole different world . Although there was a bridge that connected the two worlds , they still remained separated and different from each other .
When Charlotte first arrived at the castle of the dragon king Damien , everything was too shabby and dark although it was luxurious .
" This place needs a whole new air !.................i think I will have to start from the beginning ! " said Charlotte as she looked around .
Charlotte gradually encouraged everyone around to agree and help her saying that she would bear the responsibility , if the master disagreed and got angry . After the changes that Charlotte made , the castle's air became much better . The dragon king scolded her but in the end he realized that what she did was the best option .
" I have been meaning to ask...............Aren't you afraid of me ?! " asked the dragon king .
" ..........No !........You are scary but...........you are like that because that's the only way you can protect what's yours and yourself from unwanted outsiders . " said Charlotte while looking at the sunset with the dragon king .
" You are a strange human ! " said the dragon king .
" You aren't normal either , your majesty , the dragon king ! " said Charlotte .
As time passed , her unusual behavior started to attract the king's attention . The two of them gradually came to trust each other but the trust of the dragon king became an obsession of possessiveness towards Charlotte . She helped him find the crystal that could restore him to his original appearance and save his kingdom . What she asked for in exchange was freedom .
' Fate has already decided everything but......will I still be able to make some changes and live how I want ?! ' thought Charlotte with a smile while looking at the dragon king Damien reading a book .
She tried to escape , she tried to run , she tried to make a deal with him but his obsession over her , made things even more difficult .

[Carnelia] When I sat there, tied to that wagon almost a year ago, I had no idea how my life led me to that place. I couldn't even remember who I was or where I came from. It is amazing how much can change in such a short amount of time. When I was a hurt, angry girl, I had no idea that one day I'd wake up and be seen as the mother of a kingdom, or that my children would not only be heirs to all of Luxandra, but to the Solar Throne of the Southern Continent, a rebirth for a royal line thought long dead. Nor did I understand that my old life, and everyone who existed within it, would be nothing but ash and sour memories before the next summer blossomed. All I knew as I fought against my bindings was that in the next few minutes, my life would either end drastically or it would be changed forever. Because even if my body were not destined to die as a dragon’s meal that evening, something in me realized that the girl I had been up until that moment would die that day. There was n
[Eleanora] “Your Majesty, you shouldn’t be down here,” the small man sniveled as I entered the new lab. "This is no place for a lady." “Where else would I be?” I demand, cracking my knuckles as I stare down my nose at the human technician in charge of keeping my husband’s body from dying. “My husband is here, so I am here. I wanted an update on his condition.” “We could have written a report and sent it…” he begins to sniffle but I raise my hand and he bows low before me, his back deeply bowed as is proper. “I wanted to SEE him, you dolt,” I correct the fool shaking before me. Humans are so weak-willed and this one is weaker than most. I brought him from my family home because I can trust he will be loyal. He'd sooner tattle on himself for a perceived mistake than risk being accused by someone else. Similarly, he's the first to report when anything seems amiss. The perfect little worm to place in any apple. Because while he is telling on everyone else, he is also spying for
[Segundus] “Greetings citizens of Imperial City,” My queen and I shine brightly as the sun begins to set, our white clothes studded with diamonds so that when the spotlights shine on us, we gleam like fallen stars, fitting since our intention tonight is to make celestials fall from the heavens. “The Celestials have lorded over us for several millennia. Living in their sky throne, they control our resources, taking what they want and leaving nothing behind. Their children, the Sun Dragons, were especially notorious. They controlled the power that fueled our cities, and if we didn’t make proper payment, they would burn our cities, raid our farms, and send their blight to wipe all life from our land.” I pause to let my words settle into the hearts and minds of those gathered. A gentle hissing roar throughout the crowd assembled. My wife, Queen Eleanora, squeezes my hand in encouragement, smiling sweetly, projecting her confidence and trust. “My brother, Segundus, sought to alig
[Carnelia] There is a bright glow as I close my eyes and I know that it is the last time I will ever see Cressida, that she sacrificed her spark to save me. My screams turn into howls of pain and sorrow. Cressida, the kind mother who nursed me through the birth of my babies, and accepted me into her family even when she thought I was a human. I didn’t even really get a chance to know her, and now I am mourning her, along with the loss of my mate, trapped on the other side of a gate I cannot cross. “CLOSE THE GATE!” one of my captors bellows through the entry gate as we arrive at the Northern Sky Portal, “By order of Queen Cressida. This is her final command!” The drakes at the gate go immediately to work, tapping buttons on clear surfaces lit from within with swirling and changing images of blue, red, and green. The surface beneath our feet shifts and shakes and I scream in fury as I watch the large metal iris of the portal snap shut. “How could you,” I pound the chest of m
