They Wanted Me to Serve My Sister, So I Joined the Northern Dragon King Chapter 10
One year later, the Northern Court held an investiture ceremony for its new Knight Commander.When I walked into the great hall in my silver-white wing armor, every Frost Dragon Knight rose to their feet.My name was first on the investiture roster hanging high in the center of the hall.[Northern Knight Commander: Elaia.][Independent Domain: Starfrost Territory.][Personal Guard: First Frost Dragon Knight Squadron.]Not someone's sister. Not someone's attendant.Severel placed the Knight Commander's token into my hands himself."You earned this through your own valor."I accepted the token and led my knights out of the hall.After the ceremony, Alden gave me the customary briefing on the territories.All of the Rayne family's mines had been auctioned. Every last coin of compensation had been deposited into my account.The auction list included the three dragon crystal mines my father had once said I "had no use for."After my father was stripped of his lordship, the family council el

I had barely made it down the steps of the Central Dragon Court when Lorne came running after me.His face was white. His right arm was still wrapped in thick bandages, and he carried a large mithril case against his chest."Elaia, wait."He blocked my path and fumbled the case open."This is the gilt-steel wing armor I had made for you. Everything I owe you, I'll make up for."Fire magic rippled across the armor's surface. Cecilia's favorite rose pattern was etched on the inside, and the armor had been made entirely to her measurements.I glanced at it once."This is Cecilia's."Lorne froze."That's impossible. The attendant must have grabbed the wrong one.""My core is frost-aligned. I hate the rose pattern. And my wingspan is an inch wider than Cecilia's."I looked up at him."You used to know all of this."Three years ago, he had remembered that I couldn't eat meat from fire-aligned beasts, that my core ached faintly every winter, and that he should save me the shaded spot on the t

On the day of the public hearing, the gallery of the Central Dragon Court was packed with lords and knights from across the realm.The moment I walked in, my father slammed the family warrant on the table."Elaia, you are my daughter! Your bloodline and your power were cultivated by the Rayne family. You have no right to defect!"My mother reached for me, eyes red."Come home with me. We raised you for eighteen years. Even if we played favorites sometimes, you can't treat your own parents like enemies."My brother scoffed."The Starfrost Tower, domain, and training resources you have now should be turned over to the family for redistribution."Cecilia clutched my Heartscale pendant, her voice faint."I've already forgiven you for running away during the investiture. Just come back, and we'll still be a family."Lorne stood with them."Elaia, stop making a scene. We're still bonding next year. I'll take care of you for the rest of your life."I looked at them and laughed."Since you all

Snow was falling across the Northern Territory when the Royal Vessel touched down.I descended the gangway, and the Frost Dragon Knights waiting in formation saluted in unison.The court's head steward, Alden Pierce, placed a silver token into my hands."Lady Elaia, Starfrost Tower Three has been prepared for you. Beginning today, you will receive the highest stipend, training resources, and personal guard allotment available."I held the token, warmth tingling at my fingertips.In the Rayne household, everyone had told me I wasn't pretty, didn't know how to please people, and couldn't transform, so I didn't deserve anything better.But here, no one asked whether I was sweet-tempered. No one told me to prove my worth first.They judged by bloodline and ability, nothing else.Alden led me through Starfrost Tower, introducing the library, training grounds, and guard quarters one by one."If anything is not to your liking, feel free to change it."I asked without thinking, "Don't I need t

[Lorne's Perspective]Lorne stared at his charred right arm, his face white as bone.He clenched his jaw and turned to look at Cecilia, unconscious on the other side of the altar.Her dragon form had collapsed. Frost covered her entire body. Her core was likely damaged.Lorne dragged himself forward, hoisted her onto his shoulder with his left arm, and staggered toward the exit.He hadn't taken two steps before Envoy Hart blocked his path."Move!" Lorne spat blood, his expression feral. "I'm taking her to the Grand Cathedral for a priest!""You enabled the unauthorized use of essence blood."Hart removed his Sworn Knight silver ring. "Your Sworn Knight status is revoked, your Black Dragon Knight authority suspended. You are under investigation."Lorne swayed. The last trace of color drained from his face."Then let Cecilia's parents, or her brother, take her to the Cathedral...""Cecilia's parents and brother are also under investigation."Hart cut him off. "Cecilia stays with me. You

As the vessel rose into the sky, the bells of the investiture ceremony rang in the distance.A public crystal in the cabin was broadcasting the Rayne family's ceremony live.I let out a cold laugh.They wouldn't spare me a single mine, yet they had spent a fortune broadcasting the investiture.On the crystal, Cecilia stood in pristine white ceremonial robes, receiving her title.Lorne stood at her side as Sworn Knight, a red silk ribbon wound around his black dragon lance, the mark of his oath to protect her.No one had noticed I was gone.The final stage of the ceremony would determine whether Cecilia could complete her full dragon transformation.One by one, the mages entered the array, but the stabilizer position assigned to me remained empty.The guests began to whisper."Isn't Miss Elaia supposed to be the stabilizer? Where is she?""Come to think of it, I haven't seen her all evening."My mother's expression froze.Dorian tried to reach me again and again. Every message went unan
