“Why is my life getting this complicated?” I said out loud.I barely slept that night because every single time I closed my eyes, I saw the dragon again. I saw the way it lowered its head to me like I wasn’t a threat, and I kept remembering the strange feeling that rushed through my chest when it looked at me. Then Valdanus’ voice would replay in my head all over again asking me the same question.“What are you?”By morning, my entire body felt tired. I avoided everyone during breakfast because I didn’t feel like talking, and honestly, I didn’t even know what I would say if someone asked me what was wrong. Maria kept staring at me suspiciously while eating, but I ignored her and focused on pushing food around my plate instead. The whispers around the palace were already getting worse, and I could feel people staring every time I walked past them.It made me want to disappear. Unfortunately, I still had training with Valdanus. The moment I stepped into the training grounds, he crossed

The palace felt completely different the next morning. From the moment I woke up, I could hear music echoing through the halls and people rushing around excitedly outside. Servants carried colorful fabrics everywhere while guards who normally looked serious were actually smiling for once.Even the air felt happier. Maria burst into my room without knocking like usual. “Pandora, you need to get dressed immediately,” she announced dramatically.I blinked at her sleepily. “Why are you yelling?”“Because today is apparently the biggest celebration in Scorath and I already saw someone breathing fire outside.”That woke me up instantly. An hour later, Maria and I followed the palace servants through the busy streets of the capital while trying to take everything in at once. Everywhere I looked, the city was covered in color and light.Lanterns hung above the streets in long glowing lines. Children ran around laughing with painted dragon scales across their cheeks while musicians played loud

‎‎Back To Pandora's POV‎‎Something changed in the palace overnight. I noticed it the moment I stepped into the hallway the next morning because the entire atmosphere was tense. The servants moved faster and spoke quieter while guards stood straighter than usual like they were expecting trouble.‎‎By breakfast, the palace was already crowded with unfamiliar nobles arriving from different regions of Scorath. And also sorry, I'm sure you've noticed I've been using the word 'Scorath' lately. Well Scorath is the sub name used for the kingdom Scorish. Back to our story. ‎‎Expensive carriages filled the front courtyard while banners from powerful dragon families hung along the palace walls.‎‎Maria looked around while sitting beside me. “This feels awkward...I don't like it,” she muttered.‎‎“Neither do I.”‎‎One of the nearby servants hurried past our table carrying documents, and another servant immediately grabbed his arm anxiously. “Did you hear?” the woman whispered.‎‎“The ki

The palace did not stop talking about Elizabeth Ravaryn after her arrival. By morning, every servant, guard, and noble in Scorath seemed to have something to say about her beauty, her family, or her dragon. Maria looked ready to lose her mind after hearing the same conversation six times before breakfast.“If I hear the words graceful noble lady one more time, I’m jumping into a river,” she muttered while dragging butter across her bread aggressively.I almost smiled at that. The truth was, Elizabeth fit into the palace perfectly already. She moved through the halls like she had lived there her entire life, greeting nobles with easy confidence while servants rushed to accommodate her. Even her voice carried that polished calm noblewomen were taught from childhood.Nothing about her felt awkward.Nothing about her felt uncertain. And standing near her made me painfully aware of how out of place I looked here. Maria noticed me staring toward the palace doors where Elizabeth stood speakin

Hi there my wonderful readers…Before I continue, I do apologise that I switch alot to Maria's POV. I haven't added Valdanus’s or Estevan’s but….that would be very soon. That is if you guys would love it. I would like your take on it. Anyways, back to our story🤗.Maria's POV Life inside the palace had become strange. Every day brought new rumors, new whispers, and new people staring at Pandora like she carried answers nobody understood. I tried pretending it didn’t bother me, but honestly, the attention around her kept growing bigger and heavier.Even we spent less time together now. Pandora trained most mornings with Valdanus or disappeared toward the dragon grounds whenever her thoughts became too loud. By the time she returned to our rooms at night, she looked exhausted in a way sleep never seemed to fix.I missed her. One afternoon, I sat near the palace kitchens helping a group of servants fold festival fabrics while listening to their endless gossip. Apparently, nobles from the
