Part 31
The dragon whined unhappily, struggling around in her arms to get away. Ongoing theme of her life. She had to tighten her grip to keep the creature from chewing on the gaudy bronze plates that were strapped on its back. "Just for a few minutes." The dragon rider tried to soothe him, scratching under the clunky headpiece that had been custom forged just for the dragon. "Please just hang on for a while until I manage to prove my dear father wrong, and I'll take these stupid things off you."
"Come on! Up you go!" The Captain whistled from the shed, his voice loud and piercing.
Hesitating only for a second, the dragon rider grasped the belly-strap with one hand, planting her heel on a spike, and lifted herself in the air. Desperately she lunged for the pommel, fingers slipping hopelessly for a moment before she managed to secure a firm grip. Wriggling inelegantly

The maid exhaled roughly the moment she saw the person responsible for her behaviour the night before. Avery. Her blood boiled, and all she wanted was to yank her from the group and give her a good hearing.The thought before it had time to flourish in her mind got interrupted abruptly.

/HIS POV/The day after the ball, Javier woke up damp and sweating. His heart hammered in his chest, the deep breaths he forced himself to draw doing little to slow it. Another dream. This time it focused on him as a child again, and he was tired. He was tired of seeing his dead parents, his childhood and knowing that he can never have any of it. Never experience those things again.Every single time it tore him from inside to see those faces which have been long gone.Wiping the sweat off his forehead he let out a sigh. It would be futile to try to go back to sleep now, what with the way his heart and mind still thrummed from his dream.He blinked against the dark, feeling a peculiar mixture of antsy and peaceful. His skin was bathed in sweat yet cold to the tou

Celina couldn't comprehend the reason why Avery would be in her room unless it's another prank to belittle her somehow. Abel insisted on accompanying her, reassuring her that he only wanted to calm both the parties. The eighteen-year-old flat out refused. She had to do it on her own.The moment she stopped near her door, Celina took a sharp breath, peeking inside. To her surprise, Avery was waiting by her bed, her eyes roaming around the room. Celina took a step inside, her fingers clammy and wet from the perspiration."Avery""Close the door" The command was evident in her voice. Celina could feel herself almost choking on air at the command. Avery was right there in front of her, arms crossed and her expression steely.This couldn't

“Hello, Your Highness,” A soft voice travelled to his ears, breaking the silence and cutting Javier's ruminations short.Frowning, he blinked at the person standing in front of him. She was the first guest to come forward and recognise him; he had to give the stranger credit. After all, it was a giant ball filled with all sorts of people in masks just for entertainment. “How do you know who I am? Have we met?”“Yes, we have,” The stranger replied, smiling as she took a sip of her champagne. The room was too dark to allow him a good glimpse of her eyes, which might have helped him in a way.Then again, why in the world would he agree to throw such a party? Javier should have known better than to create more intrigue when all he wanted was to seek solace away from people.

Celina stepped her foot in the quaint little house. As she opened the heavy, creaky door, the sound of metal being smashed together grated her ears, sending an uncomfortable shiver down her spine. She’s never liked the sound or smell of metal, even though the dragon rider grew up surrounded by those."Who is that sword for?" The dragon rider asked, finding a familiar face polishing a new weapon.The man startled, almost dropping the sword at the sound of her voice. And he does end up letting go of the thing altogether as soon as his eyes land on Celina, immediately going to hug her instead. She laughed, welcoming the embrace and breathing in deep, nose wrinkling a little when the smell of burning metal and coffee. She missed her uncle.Celina pulled away first, about to

/HIS POV/Javier had never spent an entire day in bed for no particular reason, especially not in the last couple of years. He dimly remembered having the flu as a child and sleeping through fever dreams for days, but he's never stayed in bed simply because he'd wanted to. The Prince didn’t think he could ever again muster up the strength to slip out from underneath the soft, warm sheets. Especially after learning about Celina and Abels trip to the concert.Red hot fury bubbled in his stomach as he thought of both having a great time together.
