The fight was set for dawn the next day.

Our people crowded around the training ground to watch.

I stood on the dais with my father. Emma pressed against me, clutching my skirt in her little hand.

In silver-white armor, Derek gave the three men a cold, mocking look. "One at a time, or all together?"

  • The Dragon Princess and Her Three False Knights   Chapter 10

    The fight was set for dawn the next day.Our people crowded around the training ground to watch.I stood on the dais with my father. Emma pressed against me, clutching my skirt in her little hand.In silver-white armor, Derek gave the three men a cold, mocking look. "One at a time, or all together?"Lucas scowled and charged first.Flames from his dragon breath coiled around his sword as he swung at Derek.Derek dodged and leaped into the air.Darian hurled lightning at him from the left. Farther back, Silas murmured a prayer. He shaped ice crystals into long arrows and sent them flying.Derek calmly summoned a heavy shield and met every attack head-on.Lucas seized the opening. His blade scraped Derek's shoulder armor.I tensed.But Derek seemed in no hurry to end the fight. He kept defending himself without striking back.My anxiety grew. Emma tugged at my hand, tears streaming down her face. "Mommy, they're hurting Daddy!"She was too young to understand the fight.All she knew was

    Lucas sounded so hoarse I barely recognized his voice. The once-glorious commander of the dragon knights was gaunt now, no longer the strong, imposing figure I remembered.Darian followed him. His old contempt was gone. Dark circles shadowed his eyes, and his lightning power surged wildly beneath his skin.Silas's gaze was as gentle as ever, but he was pale and seemed worn down by constant exhaustion.All three stared at my rounded belly and froze."You're... pregnant?" Darian whispered, as if he'd been struck."Yes." I nodded. "This is my husband, Derek."Derek put an arm around my shoulders and frowned at them.No one spoke.The air seemed to freeze.Then Lucas dropped to one knee.He held out a scarlet scale in his palm. "Evelyn, I was a fool. I broke my promise. I failed you. I... please, give me another chance."Darian knelt, too. "I've regretted it every day since. Evelyn, please. At least accept my scale—"Silas said nothing. He just looked at me, devastated.Derek shifted to st

  • The Dragon Princess and Her Three False Knights   Chapter 8

    So much could change in five years.The northern wind and snow hadn't broken me. They'd made me into someone new.Five years after I left, Derek and I brought our daughter, Emma Frostborne, to the Golden Crown Court to visit my father.I wore a long silver-white cloak and a crown of ice crystals.Color had returned to my once-pale face, and the timidity in my eyes was gone. I was older now, calmer and more confident.When I stepped out of the carriage, the court guards dropped to their knees.It wasn't because I was a princess. They felt the deep, powerful dragon breath of the frost dragon chief's wife.Everything at the Golden Crown Court seemed unchanged.I rested a hand on my rounded belly. The little one inside gave me a small kick."Mommy, it's so big. Bigger than home." Emma tipped her face up and looked around, her pale gray eyes full of curiosity.She had Derek's long silver hair, but she looked like me.Derek shifted into human form beside me and rested a hand against my lower

    The study door closed with a heavy thud.Lucas, Darian, and Silas stood in the middle of the room, watching Aldric slowly take his seat.Lucas spoke first. "Your Majesty, we only want to know which princess has gone north to get married."Aldric raised a hand, cutting him off.The three men exchanged uncertain looks.Silas stepped forward. "Your Majesty, we hadn't heard about any marriage. We've been looking for Evelyn all morning—""Evelyn?" Aldric gave a bitter smile, his voice hardening. "So you still remember her! Unfortunately for you, she's already boarded the carriage to the north."Darian went deathly pale.He took a hurried step forward. "Your Majesty! She's in no condition to go north!""It was her choice!" Aldric cut in, glaring at him. "She insisted on leaving! She said she couldn't bear another day here. I asked why. She wouldn't tell me. But I suspect you know better than I do."Silas flushed, then paled. "Your Majesty, we—"Aldric picked up a box from his desk and tossed

    By the time they reached the square, a crowd had gathered.Their hearts pounded in their throats.The dragon knights hadn't been ordered to provide an escort. The king's closest courtiers had heard no rumors. No one had asked the priests to offer wedding prayers.This wedding seemed to have come out of nowhere.It was all too strange, too sudden. They couldn't make sense of it.They scanned the crowd for Evelyn, desperate for a glimpse of her. Perhaps she'd come to watch, too.Aldric stood alone on the dais in the center of the square.A silver-white frost dragon circled above him. A carriage of the same color waited nearby.Maids were helping a slender figure in a wedding gown into the carriage.A white veil hid her face.She moved slowly, as though every step were a struggle.The frost dragon lowered its head and settled quietly in front of the carriage, waiting for her to take her seat.Lucas's chest tightened. "Evelyn!" he shouted.Silas started to rush forward, but Darian caught h

  • The Dragon Princess and Her Three False Knights   Chapter 5

    During morning training, Lucas heard that Evelyn had spent a long time in King Aldric Goldcrest's study the night before.He stopped mid-swing.His first thought was that she'd gone to complain about them again.He hurried down the corridor to her chambers.Darian and Silas had just arrived, too.They exchanged a look. Clearly, all three were thinking the same thing.Lucas stepped forward and knocked.The door wasn't locked. It creaked open.Evelyn wasn't there.The room looked empty. Her bed was neatly made, as if no one had slept in it.A faint smell of bitter medicine and blood lingered in the air.Several medicine bottles lay at the foot of the bed.Silas pushed past them and picked one up, sniffing it with a frown. "You're only supposed to take one bottle of this pain medicine at a time. There are at least five or six here."Lucas turned uneasily to Darian.Darian was staring in horror at a dark red bloodstain beside the bed. "Yesterday...""She really was hurt yesterday..." Silas
