The Flaming Heart 37. The Ale
Rina fled back to the palace from the Misty Mountains. Rage bubbled up inside of her; she couldn’t believe that Amaya would actually hurt Thorn. Rina saw her mischief as fun and games. She had only tricked Leila into thinking that Thorn cheated on her. With just one drop of his blood, it worked wonders. When she saw the waitress at the inn having sex with a trader, a plan formed in her head.She used the dragon blood to create an illusion for Leila, to build up a world inside a mirror. Leila wouldn’t be able to see what was happening in the real world; instead, she could only see what she wanted her to. The version of Thorn who had sex with Gritta was a fake. He was actually a trader traveling through the Misty Mountains for timber. Rina giggled when she saw the look on Leila’s face after the fake Thorn walked out of the stable. She had relished in what she had accomplished. But that was the farthest she could go. She would never have the guts to kill Leila, because she knew if she di
The Flaming Heart 38. The Antidote
The Antidote Fish hid beneath the surface of the river, and butterflies resting on flower petals didn’t dare flutter their wings; even the leaves were holding back their quiet and even breathing. A powerful squad was moving quickly among the needled forests. Six wolves led three black stallions, jumping over rushing brooks, sleek rocks, and stretching, flowered banks. Finally, they arrived a glade surrounded by tall trees and dense briers. A wolf running beside the werewolf prince let out a long howl into the air, declaring their return. More wolves, all seemingly strong and powerful, emerged from the woods at his call. The six wolves shifted back into their human forms. Thorn, Hugo and Serlon dismounted. “Hiding here, in the dragon kingdom, all along?” Hugo said, cheekily, “You sure are discreet about trespassing on our land.” “Watch your tongue, dragon boy,” the werewolf who made the howl warned, “We could easily rip off your head and cook up your dragon meat as a snack tonight.”
The Flaming Heart 39. The Drunken Girl
The Queen’s ChamberAfter Remus entered the chamber, Dagen moved closer to the door in order to hear more clearly.“How do you have the antidote? Are you behind all of this?”Rina yelled at Remus.“Relax, sister,” Remus walked into the room as he tucked the flask into his belt, “Thorn won’t die that easily.” Remus’s strongest trait was his talent for manipulation, and he intended to use it fully, “I heard about his predicament, it worried me terribly. So I had asked one of my old friends in the northern realm to give me the antidote to rid Thorn’s veins from the deadly Snow Kiss.”“Since when do you have a friend in wolf land?” Rina asked.“You insult me, my darling sister.” He lied down on a long, fluffy chair, and supported his head with his hands. “Believe it or not, the scar-faced dragon prince has a reputation in many lands.”“That’s true,” Amaya smiled at her son, “Your name is second to none, even the black dragon prince.”Rina ignored the lavish praise aimed at her twin and spr

King Eros’s ChamberDagen came to Eros’ chamber and listened there’s someone else in the room was talking with his father. And the sound was belonged to a strange woman.Dagen entered the room. He saw Eros was staring blankly at a well of water as if a conversation just been finished.“Who were you talking to?” Dagen asked confusedly, he didn’t see anyone else in the room.“Myself.” Eros stuttered.Dagen shrugged his shoulder for the king often times appeared to be in a trance.Then he immediately started recount everything he had overheard at Amaya’s door. To his surprise, his father didn’t express much shock upon hearing the information. The signs of his aging, however, seemed more evident. His eyes were tired, back hunched.“Father?” Dagen raised his voice to get Eros’ attention, “Are you listening to me?”Eros returned to the present, pulling himself out of his wandering mind. “Ah, yes. I heard you.”“Well? Say something!” Dagen demanded; he had always been a little hotheaded and
The Flaming Heart 41. The Temptation
The second Thorn heard mention of his half sister’s name, he felt his dragon blood freeze. Not now! Thorn thought. Leila was still sulking, angry at him for some mysterious reason, and he knew it was somehow related to Rina. But her sudden appearance in the Jubilee Inn would only worsen the situation. He decided he’d better stay put. “Erm…Ben?” Thorn cleared his throat and turned around to look at Ben, using it as an excuse to peek at Leila. To his vast terror, Leila’s face had grown even redder. “Go to the princess and find out what she wants.” “On it!” Ben peeled away from Leila and raced out through the front gate. Due to their constant practical experience on the battlefield, each of the knights and warriors in the room possessed an ability to precisely analyze their surroundings. They could sense that their prince was in trouble; they knew he was extremely nervous, even though he didn’t show it. Shortly after, Ben returned and loudly reported to Thorn, “The princess said she w
The Flaming Heart 42. The Talk in the Bedroom
Thorn rushed into the bedroom like a fierce storm. Leila turned around in shock. She was just about to change back into her usual clothing and was completely naked.“Thorn,” Leila uttered her prince’s name softly, “What are you…”Thorn paced towards her and suddenly picked her up, kissing her lips passionately. Leila felt his tongue, hot and wet in her mouth. “I missed you terribly,” Thorn said while taking off his clothes.Leila was surprised by her own physical response. She felt her body uncontrollably thirsting for him. All her previous sadness and anger had vanished with his ravishing kiss. She remembered something and pulled away from the kiss for a moment. “But you’re poisoned! I was told that you can’t…”“I’m fully recovered.” Thorn laid his lips back onto hers. Leila decided to give in and put everything behind them. She completely indulged in the kiss and helped him take off his clothes.Leila looked into Thorn’s dark eyes. She only sensed love, and felt like she was the lu
The Flaming Heart 43. The Mysterious Princess
Thorn seemed to be in a bad mood; he hadn’t said a word the whole morning. His usual icy and regal air had further deepened, so everyone chose to just leave him alone.He was, indeed, in a terrible mood. Learning that Leila was the lost princess of the Stormy Clan had struck him unexpectedly. There had always been a faint voice, lingering in the deepest recesses of his dragon soul, telling him that Leila was no ordinary girl, that she was different from any women he had ever encountered. But he had deliberately ignored that voice. It gave him an uncomfortable feeling that went against his true desires. He’s afraid that the Mother Dragon may take her away from him.Stormy Clan was an ancient dragon clan, the origin of all dragon spirits. It had a direct connection with the dragon divinity. But the whole clan had vanished, following the death of the Father Dragon. His queen, the Mother Dragon, was too devastated to continue ruling. She soaked in her own tears every day. Her body became
The Flaming Heart 44. The Lost Prince
Remus arrived at a large house at the edge of King’s Harbor. The house had a gloomy air, blanketed in shadow behind ghostly trees. Messy twigs and thorny weeds snaked around the deserted yard. It was an abandoned orphanage. The cruel owner was a grumpy old man, with a pale complexion and a bald head. He had been collecting stray dragon boys and girls his entire miserable life, selling them to high-ranking lords for gold. They earned him every penny he owned, but he treated the children terribly, beating and starving them, all except for one particular boy.“The surprise I told you about is in that house,” he said to Fenris, the second prince of the northern realm, as he rang the large bell hanging on the door. Fenris glanced around their surroundings, thinking it was the perfect place; no one would suspect that the young wolf prince, his competitor to the throne, was hidden there.The old man came to the door, staggering. He wore a decent green robe and with expensive silver trimmed s
