DIANA

The question was simple.

Everyone was watching, waiting for me to answer.

I lifted my gaze directly to meet hers. "It was eventful, Your Majesty."

A flicker crossed the Queen's eyes, but it was gone so quickly I almost missed it.

"Oh? A terrible tragedy." She smiled gently, though her eyes were devoid of warmth.

I smiled back, keeping my tone polite. "Fortunately, Prince Draven's men are exceptionally competent."

The First Prince's jaw tightened at the praise. The Queen's serene smile

  • The Dark Dragon Prince    Chapter 23

    DIANAThe ache in my chest refused to ease. It only got worse.I couldn't just sit here anymore. I couldn't sit under the suffocating weight of those eyes while the court played their petty political games around me.Trying to maintain every ounce of my etiquette training, I rose to my feet."Your Highness?" Sarah’s voice immediately drifted from behind me. Beside her, Mina looked at me with worry. "What's wrong? Are you unwell?"I turned to them, forcing a smile on my face. "I am going back to the palace. I feel lightheaded.""We will accompany you, Princess," Mina said quickly, already reaching to gather her skirt to follow me."No," I countered, my voice soft but unyielding. I placed my hand on Mina’s arm to stop her. "Stay. Both of you. Enjoy the competition."They blinked at me in surprise."We have been locked away in Volkar for over a month," I murmured. "You both could use a little fun. Consider it an order."Before they could protest further, I walked to the center of the pa

    DIANAWe enjoyed the view for a while before another thought occurred to me."What about Prince Cassian?"Aeris arched an eyebrow. "What about him?""He doesn't seem interested either.""No.""Why?""Because he's different." He answered.I frowned. "Different how?""The same way the Princess is."I tilted my head to the back, saying, "The Princess?"He looked at me and answered, "You haven't met her."I shook my head. "I didn't even know there was a Princess.""There is." He nodded. "The King's only daughter."My curiosity immediately piqued. "Where is she?"He pointed vaguely southward. "Several thousand miles away."That wasn't helpful, but I waited. Eventually he sighed. "She's in the Water Kingdom."My eyes widened. "The merfolk?""Yeah. She's married to the Crown Prince." He looked at me. "Exactly like you."I sat up in my chair. I'd never even heard of a princess and I'd spent years reading about the Dragon kingdom. Yet there was still so much I didn't know.The crowd erupted in

    DIANAAeris.He was standing casually by the pillar at my side with his arms crossed. He looked far too amused for someone who had just appeared out of nowhere in a crowded stadium.“Aeris!” I exhaled, relief hitting me so fast it almost embarrassed me. “What are you doing here?”He gave me a lazy grin. "I merely came to check if you were still among the living or if you had already been eaten alive by these palace predators. Though looking at you now, it seems my worries were unnecessary."A radiant smile spread across my face. I was happy to see a familiar face in this nest of vipers that I instinctively reached my hand out to grab his hand, then I caught myself.Unnecessary physical contact between a man and woman who were not married was considered highly inappropriate and shameful. Aeris laughed, shaking his head. "Oh, please do not embarrass yourself further, Your Highness."I frowned. “I wasn’t-”“You were,” he interrupted me with grin. “There's no need to worry about the cou

    DIANAThe competition started.The targets were placed at distances that would have been impossible for an ordinary human archer. But these were dragons.The stadium was soon filled with sounds of arrows shattering the bullseyes.The crowd roared with every perfect strike. It was actually quite entertaining.I watched attentively, realizing why the dragon kingdom has remained the supreme kingdom of the realm for centuries. This wasn't just a game, it was a demonstration of their strength."They are trying quite hard to impress today, aren't they?"The voice came from my left.I glanced over and saw Prince Roderick leaning back in his chair, swirling the wine in his hand. He wasn't looking at me, but his arrogant smirk made it perfectly clear who the comment was directed at."Though I suppose to a human, even the most basic military drill must look like a miracle." He added.Lyra chuckled beside him as she tilted her head to watch my reaction.I kept my gaze fixed on the field, refusi

  • The Dark Dragon Prince    Chapter 19

    DIANAThe next morning arrived far too soon.After my bath, I sat on the cushion before the vanity mirror.Because of the disaster at the royal breakfast yesterday, Sarah had practically sworn never to allow such an oversight happen again.I watched through the mirror as they packed my hair at the back of my head with pins. By the time they finally finished, the hairstyle looked beautiful, yet it was surprisingly comfortable.After a quick breakfast, a servant arrived to escort us to the archery grounds.The further we walked through the palace, the more crowded the corridors became. Everyone seemed to be heading in the same direction. Nobles, servants guards, ladies in elaborate gowns and children racing after their parents.When we finally got outside, a stadium stretched out endlessly before us. Thousands upon thousands of people filled the stands.Banners bearing various dragon emblem fluttered in the wind. Vendors moved through the crowds, selling food, while children sat on the

    DIANABefore anyone could speak again, the First Prince's wife finally looked directly at me. It was the first time she had shown any genuine interest in my existence since I entered the room.Her gaze swept over me with judgement."You have been in the Dragon Kingdom for over a month, have you not?" she asked, her voice dripping with fake sweetness.I looked back at her, keeping my posture straight. "Yes?""Then have you learned nothing of our customs, Princess?" She shot back.I blinked. What an incredibly odd question. "I beg your pardon?"The woman opened her mouth to deliver what I was certain would be another jibe, but the Queen spoke first."Lyra."She immediately lowered her head, her arrogant demeanor vanishing in an instant. "Your Majesty.""Be gentle." The Queen said, her gazed fixed on me, "The poor girl has barely been alive long enough to equal even half the age of anyone seated at this table."Roderick released mocking laugh, clearly enjoying the sight of me being chas
