242 Chapter 24Dante was stunned by Aeryn’s words, he managed a simple smile and asked her, “Are you certain?”. Aeryn fell over to the other side of the bed while still trying to catch her breath and giving her legs a moment to heal. “The last time I said these words were to my late husband, Petrus Octavianus” she said looking at the ceiling.

241 Chapter 24The only word he managed to say and without looking at them was, “I want you out of my city at this very moment. Do me a favor and don’t utter a single word to no one, this goes for all of you” “We won’t my lord, our lips are sealed” replied one of the group leaders while looking at his fellows as if he was seeking their assurance on that matter. Finally Leoric turned his attention from the egg he was holding to the spies. He had a wide smile on his face. “Alright then,…

239 Chapter 23The last time a dragon embraced the skies of the Mines, was during the time Lord Leoric had just got a hold of Princess Aeryn through a legal marriage. Artemis had rushed in to take his sister home on his very first ride on a dragon’s back and he was furious. He rode the black beast and that was his symbol, hence the appearance of a green dragon in the Mines clearly specified who the rider was. “It’s the queen” said Lord Leoric with a panic tone in his voice. “You should hide, I…

238 Chapter 23Lord Leoric sneaked on Aryan on the balcony, he saw how stressed she was and seemed so lost in thoughts. One thing he knew was Aprophil would never stress Aryan out, nor would the war.

237 Chapter 23Suddenly Samwell blurted out, “I am not scared of his dragons! I can kill one of those beasts like a bug, with my own hands…” and then he pressed his hands together as if showing Lord Leoric how he will squash the dragons. This made Lord Leoric laugh so hard, he nearly fell off his horse. Aryan had told him how stupid Samwell Marshall was, but clearly he didn’t expect this level of stupidity. This man was clearly living in caves, he had never seen a dragon ─ not even once. And…

235 Chapter 23Aprophil remained silent as Amabel talked, that’s when he realized the young boy he helped win the war, wasn’t a boy. Amabel was now a man, two months’ shy away from his sixteenth name day and he was showing ultimate growth unlike anyone he’s ever met before. They walked back inside since it was freezing outside, and there they had a hot tea and kept on talking about wars, and other matters of the state. “She wants me to wed, I don’t know if I’m ready yet to be with a…

240 Chs ADD 234 Chapter 23“I’m going to find those eggs” “How? The thieves must have left the town by now. We need to think about this” Aurora shook her head while tears fell between her cheeks, “We?” she asked. “There’s no we when it comes to my dragons Artemis. My Babushka was right, I shouldn’t have burdened you with this, you are not a Morrow descendant” “Are you really saying that to me right now?” he asked with furious look on his face, a servant came with a…

233 Chapter 23Few hours later, Artemis awoke to find his sister tucked up in sheets and looking comfortable in the middle of nowhere. He reached out to check his sword and it was there, so was his small bag full of golden coins and funny enough, even the dragon was awake.
