© All Rights Reserved

After everyone had left the council room, only King Nickolas and his swordman Corvin are standing in the room within a hour before dinner.

King Nickolas is wearing a black silk robe over his suit, which also matches the color of the robes. His black pants have a silver belt buckle that had a snake pattern inlaid, his black boots, has two snakes' heads.

Corvin is dressed like a knight in a white tunic and leather boots.

"What's wrong with damn your daughter had insulted King Ramond's daughter like that?," King Nickolas yelled at Corvin.

" Aurora didn't do such thing like that," Corvin said when he's defending his own child. Corvin don't believe what Narcissa had said, because he knew his daughter didn't do such thing. He knew his daughter Aurora is very kind-hearted and she's willing to help out with a friend after the incident at the Java shop with Angelise. "She was helping one of those kins."

"But I heard she insulted the princess," King Nickolas continues yelling furiously, "that she is not worthy to be called a Queen of Obreon and she is just a worthless piece of trash!!"

Corvin starts to frown. "She is no garbage, you ignorant bastard, but you are too blinded to realize that. You know what? You treated your son as a piece of garbage as sold him out to the enemies!!!," He fired back at the king.

"I did it to save your sorry-a** kind, dragon!!!," Nickolas replied in angrily.

"You are nothing like your ancestors.I known why you despited your boy as being king, because you are blaming him on what had happened to Sera!!!."

"Don't leave Sera out of this!!!

********************

A hour later, dinner had started and everyone are gathered to eat the dinner.

King Nickolas stood up at the edge of the table and made the toast: We are gathering together, because tomorrow is going to be a blessing where two rival countries will settle their differences and they will reunite as one in unity and harmony, " the king lied.

' I can't believe that our king had sold us out to those monsters,' Rori thought while she's serving drinks.

Kass hardly talked or looked at her. He's wearing a lavender vest and pants, along with a matching tie and white gloves are covering his scarred hands. He have a frown on his face and his eyes are bloodshot from crying. Kass used to talkative and he's a fun-loving spirit to annoyed Rori about science and they always dreamt traveling to new places in her dragon form since we were little, but he became a nothing more but an empty shell and who has became a helpless pet to those monsters. Rori even blamed herself for Kass being sends off to the Minervanian Academy after the wedding. Kass does deserves happiness in his life and he need to get away from Narcissa and her family of psychopaths. She wishes that she could find a way to save her human friend and she hopes to find a way to stop Kass from marrying Narcissa.

Rori has spotted Narcissa is sitting next to Grayson. Narcissa's wearing dress features a green and white color scheme, a high neckline, and a fitted waist. Grayson's wearing white shirt and a long black cloak on him, which reaches the floor. His hair is combed neatly, he wears a pair of dark blue trousers and his shoes, is white. He is laughing at Narcissa while she's talking. Their laughs sound like music to Rori's ears. They are chatting away like they are having a good time without knowing Kass's existence. Rori noticed something seems odd with their suspicious behavior and she senses that they could be hiding something.

After dinner, Narcissa and Grayson had skipped dessert and went to go Narcissa's guest bedroom. Rori decided to secretly followed those two and she takes a peak in a keyhole. Narcissa's bedroom features a beautifully crafted canopy bed with a lavish pink and white floral print. She has witnessed that Grayson and Narcissa are embracing ourselves by taking off their clothes until they are nude. Grayson lays Narcissa down on her bed and he's making out with her when he's buried his head in her bosoms and Narcissa's mechanical arm is helding his head while the.

This does makes Rori sick when she's watching this. Then she begins to listen on their conversation after they had sex, but she has discovered shocking and disturbing details.

Narcissa got up with pink sheets wrapped her body and putted on a lace Trim V-neckline night gown dress then she says, I can't believe I have no choice but get marry to that whinning brat cousin of yours." She sit in her chair in front of her mirror with gold edged frame then she's brushing her hair. Gray, you should see those hideous creature dragons who looked at me."

"Don't worry, everything will be over after the wedding," Grayson replied and he's lying on the bed that his body is wrapped with pink sheets. We are going to have the kingdom to ourselves while my cousin is away at the academy with the city is clawing with your machines. Besides, my idiot uncle don't know that your father and your family are planning a assault attack on the city when my weakling cousin is away."

"Well, I want to prove my father to be his successor than my brothers," Narcissa said. "My brothers don't fit to be Kings, because I want to show him that Queens are better rulers than kings. By proving that to him, First, I need to get rid of the dragon pest problem then I will rule this city with my machines."

"Why do you think your brothers don't fit as being kings?," Grayson asked in curiosity.

"They don't give damn about politics," she replied. "Viktor likes to experimenting with his human subjects. Zacharas will go berserk if he sees a dragon and he want to kill it. Rustiel is totally obsessed with food and he likes to toy with our pet dragons with his machines by mocking them with his own food. Jarrell enjoys to torture and torrent his classmates with his electromancy like he likes to treat them as his pets. Your cousin would be a excellent play toy that Jarrell will play with when he will be at the academy."

"Haven't you think about having a king that's wanting to rule by your side?," he asked when he stood up on the bed.

"Are you jealous of your cousin becoming king?," she asked.

He took a breath then exhaled. "I has been jealous of my cousin since the day he was born after two years my uncle took me in, because I thought I was supposed to be the heir to the throne before he was born, " Grayson explained.

"Why not kill your cousin among with your uncle in order to take a throne to become?," she said with a sadistic smile.

"About your brother Jarrell?," asked Grayson.

"I think Jarrell will get bored with him so easily," she giggled in a sinister voice when she's sitting beside Grayson while he is putting on his white bloomer pants. "Maybe you'll kill him for me instead. I would rather to have you as my king," she said in a seductive voice when she looked at him then kissed him on the lips.

Rori is in shocked and stepped away from the door after she had over heard them. They are going to kill my best friend, and then they will take over the city? What the heck?!,' she thought and she's overwhelmed. She's sensing someone is following her. It has turned out to be Jarrell's following her.

He came out of the shadows then says, "Why you are spying in my sister's room?".

She begins to ran, but Jerrell grabs a hold of her left arm and she's starting to feeling a tingling sensation. "Please let me go!!!," she raised her voice at him.

"Maybe I will tell my sister that you were spying on her," Jarrell said. "Probably you will become one of my play toys among aside with your friend prince."

Her serpent-like tail came out of her dress and it ended up lashed out at Jarrell to made him unconscious while she's making a escape into the hallway.

Then she runs into her father in the hallway.

"Aurora, Where were you after dinner?," Corvin asked his daughter. "I was looking all over for you."

"Da, I need to talk to you," Rori said that she need to catch her breath. "I believe Kass is in danger."

"What?," her father exclaimed.

"I was spying on Narcissa and Grayson," Rori explained in panicked. I found out They are plotting to kill Kass and Minervanian are planning a hostile takeover to the city. We have to warn them."

" I will warn the others," Corvin said to his daughter when he placed her shoulders." I will help our dragonkind to flee from the invasion."

" About your jobs as being the King's Dragon and Swordman, you should supposed to protect the king?," Rori said with a frown on her face.

" The current King isn't important," her father replied. Your duty is protecting our future king with your life and help him to get out of here, understand?".

She nodded and says, "Okay."

"Good," he said. He hugged his daughter.
