What Your Love Felt Like: The Dragon Saga

There was no doubt that the ones involved with Kiara's murder had human help.

We all knew Marcus frequented the human world.

Was it possible that he had smuggled in a human without anyone's knowledge?

I was lost deep in my thoughts when suddenly a hand dropped on my right shoulder.

"Lost in your thoughts again it seems Draco! I waited long enough for you to come and see me. But since you were apparently very busy, I thought to come check on you. You seem to have had quite an adventure in the human world! Care to share a little with this old man?"

It was Master. He sat himself in the chair opposite to mine. It was by my order that he was allowed anywhere in the palace, unchecked.

I had my armours up against him all these while, unwilling to let my emotions cloud my rational judgment. Was there any way for my nose to not know what my mouth was after?

Marcus and Master were closer than my facial features.

"It is indeed great that you finally decided to drop by! I think you are aware of Damian's situation?"

There was no point trying to act naive. At this point I knew for sure that the ones who had Domain had plans with my lad. If they had wanted him dead, they would have already killed or tried killing him at least.

But from the Hooded Lantern guard I learnt that his Lantern of Life had not flickered. Not even once. My boy was safe for the time being.

"What about Prince Draco? Are you implying his mysterious illness is not the only thing for concern?"

I couldn't help but smirk.

Was he still going to act foolish?

"It's just a cover up Master!"

I banged the table between us with slight force, causing the cups to dance.

"Damian was abducted from the human world. The one behind it was Marcus but of course, he was not alone. I am still able to grab the other's neck!"

I moved my knuckles, simulating twisting a neck with my hand.

Master chuckled.

"I see. Is this what it is all about? But Damian seems fine. He hasn't been hurt yet! "

How dare he.

The fire within me was threatening to come out of my eyes. I closed them instantly. Now was not the time. I could not let him die before Damian was back inside the Castle, safely. "You can let your fire burn me if you like, you know!"

My eyes shot open. My teeth clenched and so was my fist.

"I thought I had taught you better than this!"

He had the audacity to scoff on my face. Then suddenly, without any warning, he went straight for my collar!

" Stop wasting your time trying to put the blame on me!

I, sure as hell, am not your enemy.

I thought you knew that well. But I understand that state and politics doesn't even spare father and son, we are but mere ex-apprentice and an old teacher."

I didn't know why but his words made me sit down back obediently on the chair.

"I have no idea what you have been through all these while in the human world but things weren't particularly good in here as well. Your brother did a good job sustaining the mutiny.

If you're loving the book, nel5s.org is where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience all for free. The next chapter is eagerly waiting for you!

I was hoping you would come back to consult after your return but I see that in your eyes, I am now the prime suspect.

But I can see your kingdom is at stake here. I have always tried giving you the best advice according to my ability. Hence once again I will urge you to five deeper. Join all the loose ends. The ones with Damian might have more malicious plans with him than one could think of..."

"

Stop with your act old man! "

I had to put an end to this babbling.

"You can put me behind the bars if that would cool your conscience! Get rid of me later. Like you said I am nothing more than an old man. Get to the place where you had been with the human. Damian might be somewhere around that place. That place is very intricately tangled with your fate, your kingship, your progeny and your mate. Take my advice boy, do not hinder there!

He called for the guards himself there after. Then went to the dungeons in shackles.

A part of me was wanting to chop the head off the one dragging him there. But then again my logical mind urged me to be a man.

I decided to take Liana and have a look at the place he mentioned nevertheless.

It could be a trap. I was going to go there prepared.

I went straight to Liana's room.

"Lucian? When did you come here?"

My half brother and Liana were standing close. In fact she had one hand over his chest. Quite close to comfort I must admit.

"Oh Look! Draco is here! Care to get him updated about our conversation?"

"Liana! Her name is Liana, Lucian!"

I didn't know why I felt the urge to rectify the way she was addressed.

Lucian frowned then pursed his lips.

"Oh yes! Liana! It did in fact skip my mind! After all, she is just your sex slave. I never thought you have much importance to trivial affairs!"

"I am not..."

Liana was trying to protest when I had to barge in, pushing her aside. Now was not the time to irk Lucian. I knew how much Liana hated that term. But she had to bear with it till Damian was found. "Cut it! Both of you! Master has been put behind the bars! " "What!!!! "

Both of them exclaimed aloud in surprise.

"Under suspicion! Everybody must know how the Dragon Lord treats traitors. He would not be sparing even his own blood!

Finish what you had to talk to Liana about. I want results Lucian. I want them fast. Let me know if you need any other assistance. I need my son back in here."

With one swish I distorted and wiped the image of the fake baby, giggling on the bed.

"I want him to play and laugh here for real!"

I knew Lucian didn't miss the ferocity of my voice.

He just said, "I am done with my questions!" and left.
