Elaina got a knock on her room door and got up to answer it. The person at the door was dressed in a royal knight uniform and immediately she saw it, her face fell in frustration and irritation.

“What is it again?” she asked curtly, in no mood to talk.

“The King wants you to join him this evening for a evening stroll” he replied with a slight bow as he presented the envelope to her.

She scoffed and stomped her feet in irritation, “Evening stroll? I saw the king just yesterday, why is he requesting for me so quickly?”

The king was getting on her nerves and she began to regret showing up at the dinner where it all started.

It had been a week since then and Elaina had ended up visiting the king almost everyday. Her journey to the palace wasn't because she liked it, but it was because she had no choice. The king adamantly sent request to her and used his power to ask for her audience. Elaina, who had already decided that she and the king would never rekindle their friendship, found her

    He watched her walk to the door and then he called out her name impulsively, “Elaina…” She turned to look at him with a forlorn look on her face, for the first time she felt running into his arms for a hug but she held herself back. Drake stammered on his words, unsure on how to say it without making it look like he cared because he didn't. “I think you should stay away from the king, reduce contact with him and just focus more on helping me escape. That's what important” He ended up saying that instead and for some reason he felt bad immediately it came out of his mouth.Elaina's eyes lingered for only a second before she turned and continued walking away without a reply. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed that even at that moment, the dragon still only cared about himself. She began her walk home deep in thought. A cord memory popped up in her head and she had a trip down memory lane.It was a rainy day and everyone was home covered up in thick garments. Thirteen y

    “I am not interested in becoming queen or being with you. Thank you so much for the dinner, I need to leave now to attend to the beast” She added politely with a firm tone. She was full of disappointment for how the king turned out, and she hated that deep down she knew Drake was right about the king and she didn't want to admit it. The king paused for a few seconds in contemplation then he gestured for her to leave."Thank you," she curtsied leaving hurriedly before the king would change his mind. Men like him always took rejection badly. Elaina glanced back at the palace once she got back to the street and a part of her felt like she made the wrong choice. If she had accepted his offer then she would easily be able to influence the kingdom from her position as queen. She wouldn't need to be bothered about the rude dragon anymore or Xavier because she would be above them. She could make the kingdom better for women but at what cost? Getting married to such a scum? Perhaps if the k

    Elaina exhaled as she stood before the majestic palace. It was already nightfall but the light surrounding the building brightened up the place like it was daytime. For years she had only seen the outside of this building, commoners were not allowed to go in without an invite. But now, she was being welcomed in for dinner… how time flies.“You are miss Elaina?” a maid walked up and asked. “Yes I am,” she said with a nod.“Welcome to the palace. Please follow me” the maid turned and began walking inside while Elaina followed closely behind. She couldn't help but admire the magnificence of the place and think about how much money was spent on decorations. The flowers were neatly pruned and there was not a single spec of dirt on the statues. Guards and maids moved around objectively with their duties in mind. The inside was even more beautiful than the outside, with red carpet floors and bright colorful lights. It took a lot for Elaina's mouth to not drop open in awe. She walked for a

    Elaina read the scroll in her hand again and glanced at Xavier in doubt and disbelief. It read: His Majesty is requesting the presence of Elaina to join him for dinner at the palace tonight. When Xavier had arrived at the tavern himself to give her the scroll, she was very shocked to see him. Xavier was a prideful man and would never deliver a message to someone so lowly personally, he would normally send his men to deliver it. Which meant that whatever Xavier had come for was of great importance.At first Elaina panicked and thought he had found out her secret but when he presented the scroll, she was very confused. She had to read it twice to confirm what she read and no matter how doubtful she was, the royal stamp on it confirmed that it was authentic. “What is this? The King wants to see me?” she asked again to Xavier, as if hearing it from his mouth would finally make her believe it. “Yes. I reported to him about our progress and he requested to see you” Xavier answered. “Bu

    Xavier was all smiles on his way back to his home. The feeling that he was getting close to success made him feel great and optimistic. Even though Elaina rejected his grand offer, he mentally noted that he would hold his offer till she was in need of his help. Now he could rest easy and wait for good news to arrive soon. With the pace it was going, he predicted that he would get the dragon's essence within a month or two depending on how responsive the dragon would be. He got to his gate and saw three men with the royal uniform, the King's guards, waiting for him at the door. “Lord Xavier, we bring greetings from the king” One of the guards said with a slight bow.Xavier's heart skipped a beat and he began to feel a little anxious. Last time was a letter and now the guards, it could only mean one thing.Being the head magician in power, he was a master at acting composed at all times even when he was distressed so his panic was well hidden, he replied as calm as possible, “Greetin
