The Dragon’s Tears Dried Up Chapter 10
Aithne was arrested by the Council of Elders.The charges: fraud, illegal experimentation, and the premeditated murder of her own blood.But Parents had no time to grieve, much less save her.The appalling news of a dragon slaying her own sister tore across the world like wildfire.The rumour spread that the Ice Dragon clan had slaughtered their own princess.It was rumored among the Fire Dragon clan that before Noxivira passed away, her whole body was burnt, with rotting flesh spreading everywhere, and she even went on behalf of Aithne to apologize. Overnight, every foreign trade port of the Ice Dragon clan was blockaded by angry general public.Debt?collecting merchants of every tribe and furious reporters jammed the gates of the Dragon Keep so tightly a breath couldn’t squeeze through. A torrent of curses flooded the two old dragons’ ears.Soon enough, from days of running himself ragged begging for mercy, Father’s fatal scale shattered.But Mother dared not open the door to summon

(Third Person POV)That day, Morpheus sensed something was terribly off with Aithne and quietly followed her.Hiding in the shadows, he watched her make a phone call with that fake doctor just outside the lab.He heard her hiss through clenched teeth, "I told you to torment her, not kill her!""I'll give you a million gold coins. Come back and take the fall for everything..."Morpheus didn’t know how he dragged himself away from that laboratory. All he remembered was that it was the hottest day in a century.By the time he flew back to the Dragon Keep, his ice armour had nearly melted right off him, yet he felt not a lick of pain.He stared at his trembling hands, thinking of that icy corpse he’d just touched.A bone?deep chill.He sat in the corner of Noxivira’s empty chamber, replaying that memory sealed in the ice crystal over and over, his expression twisted with agony.On one hand, a tidal wave of fury at being deceived. On the other, the deceiver was the “little sister” he’d dote

“Elders, the case has already been presented in full, hasn’t it?”The priestess looked slightly perplexed, but nodded.Morpheus acknowledged it, then drew out an ice crystal from within his robes. Trapped inside was a wisp of memory?light.“Then it’s my turn.”“I formally accuse Aithne Vira of illegally operating a medicine?trial research institute, and of premeditated murder of her own sister, Noxivira.”What?!Parents whipped around, staring at him in utter disbelief.But Morpheus didn’t offer a single word of explanation. He crushed the ice crystal in his grip, and the memory?light projected into the air.Inside the image, Aithne’s shrill, piercing voice echoed through the Dragon Keep’s great hall—“…Who told you to kill her!”“I’ll give you a million gold coins. Come back, take the whole rap, and don’t let them trace it to me!”The vision lasted only a few breaths, yet it seemed to freeze time itself.Every gaze in the hall fell upon the ashen?faced white dragon girl standing by th

“I’m calling the Council of Elders.” Morpheus was the first to snap out of it.“NO—!”Aithne instantly went berserk, ignoring the medicament covering the floor and trying to stop him.But she was too late. The call went through.I hovered in mid?air, coldly watching her panic mount.Her voice quavered. “I’m scared. I want to go back.”She tried to bolt, but Morpheus blocked her path.“When you did the texts before, was it like this? What the hell is going on?!”“I… I don’t know.”Aithne’s lips trembled. She collapsed to the floor in a heap.“Noxivira, is it really you? Are you just playing a joke on me…”Morpheus looked utterly broken. He clutched my hand and wailed.“How could she be dead? It was just medicine texts. Aithne went through them loads of times and nothing ever happened…”But I wouldn’t answer him anymore.Once upon a time, I would have wiped away his tears. But now, I could no longer touch them.And I didn’t want to, either. His tears had come far too late.Several elders

There was a pause on the other end, then a laugh.“Are you having a laugh? Noxivira’s strength is beyond question. How could she possibly be dead?”The doctor stared at the stiffening corpse on the operating table, his voice cracking with agitation.“I’m dead serious—her heart has stopped!”Morpheus’s voice drifted through, completely offhand.“Faking it, right? Doesn’t want to do the tests? Don’t let her fool you.”He hung up. The dial tone buzzed. The doctor couldn’t believe it.He rang again and again, but nobody picked up.He looked at my ashen face and smashed his phone in fury.Cursing under his breath, he went next door, grabbed his things, and got the hell out.No one knew that this so-called research lab was nothing but a creation of Aithne.All to maintain a frail image, to keep my parents’ love, to get Morpheus’s treasures.My soul drifted above, watching my own corpse slowly rot.My body began to stiffen, then soften.The ice element surrounding me gradually vanished.I loo

The next day, my parents stared in confusion at the fresh wound on my wing and scolded me.“You’re starting the tests today! How could you be so careless and get hurt again?”Morpheus frowned, his eyes fixed on the wound. “Don’t worry. The doctor has plenty of potions. He’ll get you fixed right up.”I knew I wouldn’t make it through. I was meant to die of life energy draining anyway.When all that’s left is a cold corpse, how would they react?Would they grieve for me? Shed a single tear?I doubt it. When the unwanted one finally goes, they’ll just feel relieved.Sure enough, the moment Aithne appeared, every pair of eyes latched onto her.“Our poor Aithne finally has hope!”“You’re going to get better. You’ll be another princess of the Ice Dragon clan. Let’s have a grand feast to celebrate later.”Morpheus tenderly stroked her head.“Once you’re well, we’ll keep our promise and travel the world together!”It was me who was about to die, yet they only cared about Aithne.Watching thei
