" Was it her? "" It was. "Draco answered Master as they sat to resume their talk, along with their game. " Was she able to control it? "" I had to intervene. " Draco answered making his next move on the board game. His little minion marched in front boldly, as his fingers instructed. " How is our Prince doing? "" He hasn't been doing very well if I want to be honest with you. And it is you, that is why I can be real. "The Master put his hand on Draco's shoulder. " We can not put our guards down. Specially now that the Prince is back. "" Were you able to identify the poison that was given to Kiara? "The Master shook his head. It was of a lethal and rare kind. One that even by passed our late Queen's knowledge and senses. I only got to know about it from the traces of her flaking skin that was left behind on her bed. "He paused, " May be if we were able to find her body we could have been able to further investigate. "Draco looked up. The Master moved his Bishop ahead. "
" Kiara? "Was that a crack in that voice? I turned. " Who is Kiara? " I asked. His eyes glowed. Shifting it's colour once again. He walked towards me with that chilly aura of his. With slow brisk steps. " Why are you in her clothes? "Draco demanded. His voice was almost in a whisper. Like the calm before calamity hits. " I ... ummm... didn't you ask me to be presentable? But these were all that Ichiona had fetched. "I pointed to the golden tray still kept on the shelf. It had two shell shaped metals that were supposed to act as covers for my cups and a metal lining that was supposed to cover my lady parts. It was beautiful with green engravings on top. But was too little. " I could not possibly wear that and go out with you. So I looked inside these storages and found this dress. It looked elegant and neat. So I borrowed it. I did not mean any disrespect. "" Never mind. " Draco looked away. " The place I will be taking you to might be spiked with danger. But I need to make
SHE WAS JUST A PAWN. Another of my means to get to what I covet. " The next time you decide to disregard my command, make sure to never come back. Because next time I will surely kill you with my own hands if you don't die. "This was aught to strike a sense of fear. Submission. Obedience. Yet she smiled back. Like a fool. It seemed like she was enjoying a scolding. " I knew you would not abandon me like this. Anyway. What is this place? "she asked as if I owed her any explanation. Nevertheless I obliged. She had proven and was supposed be more useful. " It's the resting place of Scattered Souls. A dangerous but important station. "" Ohhhhhhh! "she nodded her head with a big, open mouth. " But what is this place? " she repeated herself like an idiot. " I just told you. "" I got that. What I am asking is what is it's use. Like why are we here. What purpose is that serving. "" Liana, Duck. "I pulled her babbling mouth, by holding down her neck. A series of Beast venom, mi
" Here. Get her checked. "he threw me like a thrash bag in front of an elderly looking man. The man took a curious look at me and then looked back towards Draco. " My Lord, you seem injured too. "" It's nothing! "Draco was about to leave when I held his arrogant hand. " Ahh! "his moan gave away the truth. " You should get yourself treated first. "I pulled him back and made him sit on the place he had just disposed off me. This Dragon was too proud for his own good. The elderly looking man glanced from my face to Draco's and then looked down. Was there a little smile or perhaps amusement on his face? " Make it quick Marcus! I have other things to tend to as well. "he roared. " Yes my Lord. " the man jumped up to action. " Maids. "he yelled. I looked around. We were in some sort of a medical facility. It was different from the room I had first woken up in, in this world. That was more life a retreat. A place to rest. This was like a real facility. There were instruments
I can't believe I just caught this one like this. What am I going to do when it comes around. Did they not get my message? Why isn't anyone coming? The large jute bag tied with what humans use on their hostages, ropes and chains. I wonder if it would be enough to hold him when he comes around. He looked like a human from every angle and smell. So much so that I was even hesitating to use my powers on him. In fear I might be hurting an actual human. But the Seal he was carrying barked other wise. It was an heirloom of the Royals. Thought long lost in the resting place of the Scattered Souls. But here it was. In my hands. Retrieved from the possession of a seemingly mere human. In the human realm. The plot around the Queen's death and the disappearance of the prince seemed to be in deeper waters than what we had thought. I looked up. There was a thunder from the clear blue sky. Crap! They had sent Lucian. " Where is it? "The first thing he demanded was the Seal. I obediently
Liana was sitting at the Royal infirmary. She had been going around questioning Marcus about the myriad of ingredients and potions that the dragons used. She was very interested in learning about it all which made Marcus occasionally smile. But nevertheless he looked like he enjoyed showing her around. "My lady, it's quite late at night. It's also getting cold. Would you not like to ho back to your chambers and take some rest. Perhaps come back tomorrow morning if you want? "Marcus appeared to be a very gentle heart. He was a very close disciple of the Master. " No. No. It's better here. I have nothing to do back there. I am fine here. "Liana cheerfully excuses herself and got back to exploring. " In that case, here is a blanket if you do get cold at night. I will be going now. I will ask ome of the maids to stand on waiting for you. Let her know if you want anything. "Liana smiled and nodded. " Thank you. I didn't know dragon's used blankets as well. "Marcus broke into a laug
He crawled over her and she steadily kept moving back. " No. Draco stop. You wouldn't. "But the malice in his eyes was becoming more and more prominent. He lifted one arm. It morphed into his Dragon Scaled arm. He traced the sleeves of Liana's arms with it. She felt the sharp edges of it from over the material of her dress that was shielding her. He increased the pressure. Liana could feel it pierce her skin. She felt it .She bared without making a single noise. Or a single sound. He looked at her face for reaction. She wasn't giving him any. He ripped the sleeve of dress with one strong swish. It fell beside her, like paper. Liana closed her eyes, thinking it was her arm that was the target, but there wasn't even a single scratch on her skin. Draco now pointed his talon at her neck. " Do you have any idea how tasty of a meal you would be for the creatures out here? "His words had double meanings. Liana could tell from the way he said it with a tilt of his head. " I am sorr
There was total silence in the Dragon Palace. There were present Draco, Lucian, Raba, Master and other important officials. " The Seal? "Draco looked finally at Master. He spread his palm without a word. Lucian came forward at the cue and handed it over obediently. Draco twisted and turned it. He turned towards Raba. " Are you telling me this is what mobilised the Shadows? "Raba came forward. " Yes my Lord. Apparently. He used to be a prisoner in our dungeons. I have no idea who managed to sneak a criminal out from under our tight security. "" RUBBISH! "Draco's voice made Raba back a step off. " Are you implying he mobilised the Shadows with this fake Seal? "Draco threw the thing on the ground as it shattered to a million pieces. Raba was taken back again in surprise. She immediately went down on her knees. " Please forgive me my Lord. I was naive.It was my mistake. "Draco turned towards Lucian. " What else did you find out? "Lucian walked forward. " Nothing much a
