What Your Love Felt Like: The Dragon Saga

What was was not mine.

I had to repeatedly remind myself. But the pull was too much to handle.

It was yet another day at the Royal Court.

I sat beside his empty throne as I took care of state affairs.

It was not difficult calming the raging wars along the perimeters of our kingdom. Military affairs were straightforward unlike state affairs. You kill or get killed. Simple.

But with politics, you never know who is ready to stab you bearing a friendly face.

Today's session was no different. It wasn't like they were too devoted to Draco in the first place. In fact they had been the ones who had come to secretly aid me ascend, time and again. Only to get brutally put aside because I hated cowards. I didn't want to ever have to deal with any such bastard.

But times were different in the Dragon realm at the moment. They could see that there was a void. They saw that it was open to anybody to fill that gap. Perhaps that gave them the audacity to threaten me.

I clenched my fist, getting ready to do exactly what Draco would have done with these dirty bloods.

But the Master shook his head looking in my direction.

Everyone knew he was Draco's pet. But he was the only constant in these times of trouble. He guided and supported my decisions against all the mutineers.

I didn't have to but I took his advice.

After the court was dismissed, I sat in the empty hall.

Watching the empty throne.

It looked like it mocked me. My presence.

"Don't you dare!"

I yelled back at it, sipping my blood wine.

Those were the best type of intoxicants that our realm made.

The throne laughed back at it.

"Look at you. You are nothing but a shadow even in his absence."

"Shut up!"

I yelled back at the snapping of the inanimate object.

"You can never even dream of owning me, you illegitimate son of the old King! "

It was snapping again.

I yanked out a chair from the rows and threw it in its direction.

"You wish! You can just die for all I care! "

That was the silliest thing that ever left my tongue and mind. A f*rocking chair was looking down on me.

" I never wanted you. I never cared about being the king. All I ever wanted was her. "

My sobs interrupted me. I could speak, no more.

That thing was laughing at me.

Big, loud laughs.

"You will regret ever being forged! "

I was about to melt it with my Dragon breath when out of nowhere I heard her voice. "Lucian?"

With a sharp twist I turned.

It was her. My vision zoomed in and out as she walked towards me in all black.

"Lucian! What exactly are you trying to do with that thing?"

My hands held the clutching one of the hand rests and my right leg was about to kick it in the middle.

I must have looked like a mad man.

" Kiara...? "

I knew it was not her. It was the human Draco had brought from the earth. Yet she constantly reminded me of my beloved. A love that died inside my heart. "It's Liana Lucian. Liana. Remember? "

She asked me to take baby steps towards me. With full caution.

Did she fear me? She ought to.

If I could hurt my Kiara, I could definitely hurt her.

But I never want to hurt her. She was more precious to me than my own breath.

Nothing was the same after she left.

Not that it was before.

It ripped my soul everyday, seeing her sit beside him, hand in hand.

"Lucian? Are you alright? Do you need help? Should I call someone? "

My gaze must have been disoriented. I felt myself starting to touch her hands.

Soft, subtle just like Kiara.

I pulled her close and dug my nose over her chest.

Her scent. I was trying to look for her scent.

But just like before, all I got was disappointment.

She reeked of human flesh.

"LIANA! "

It was His voice. No, roar.

Draco was standing right in front of me.

His eyes were glaring in our direction.

My nose still touched her skin above her cleavage. My hands were hugging her by the waist. He was half seated with her knees bending over. It clearly looked like we were in an intimate embrace. "Draco, where did you vanish..."

She tried shoving me away and standing up.

But I pulled her back.

Not because of her but because of the expression on Draco's face.

He had been swindling around with her, heaven knows where. Now he suddenly reappears out of nowhere and dares to glare at me like that.

What did this human even mean to him?

It wasn't like he cared about women.

What did it matter to him if I tasted this woman's essence?

He would be discarding her sooner or later. As soon as he was bored.

Or was that not the case? Did he have more reason to hold on?

"LIANA!

What behavior is this? I leave you for a split of a second and you go running rogue the moment you enter my land?

Perhaps I was too lenient towards you.

You forgot you were answerable for your actions as well!"

He yelled at her, maintaining his eye contact with me.

Then he rammed at us and snatched her away from my grip.

"Let's get you settled in your old room!"

He was holding Liana too tight.

I could see it. Her eyes were twitching in pain yet she was not complaining.

Women were all cowards. They all ultimately bowed down before power and might.

"Draco stop!"

Liana finally complained as he began dragging her down.

I thought I was finally wrong about my opinion of this woman.

"What about Damian? What are we going to do about him now?"

Those were definitely words that were totally out of the context. But those were words she should not have said.

Draco looked at me worried or panicked should I say.

"Shut your mouth human. Just get back to your room! "

He picked her up and flung her behind his back like a sack.

I was left all alone in the throne hall with the throne once again.

"Looks like we would not be bickering anymore. Your master is back. Adios!"

I let go of the hand rest. Finished kick in it real soft and slow.

I finally said goodbye to my present annoyance.
