The entire time we were doing this, Dan was watching us without our realising it. Finally, after Dan watched us sit down in plain sight for him to see, he felt annoyed and embarrassed, 'I can't believe those two followed me here. And they're not even trying not to be noticed being this obvious!'

Angela noticed Dan's vexed expression and asked, "Is everything ok?"

Dan tried to ignore us and focus on Angela, "Sorry, everything's fine. I just noticed they removed my favourite dish is all."

"Oh, ok. Speaking of, should we order now?"

"Of course." Dan flagged down one of the waiters, and they ordered their food. After the waiter left, they sat in awkward silence, not knowing what to talk about.

Dan tried his best to think of something to say but failed terribly when he said, "I like your frizzy hair."

When Angela heard him say that, she started to look self-conscious about her hair, trying to brush it down with her hands. Seeing her reaction, Dan could tell he had said something wrong

    After that day, Dan started to spend all his free time with Angela. Anytime I saw them spending time together, I could tell they were starting to get closer to one another. Dan finally asked her to start dating him after they had already spent months getting to know each other. After that, it took Dan a whole year and a half before he finally decided to propose to her. Because Angela hadn't had her coming-of-age ceremony yet, they couldn't get married, so they made plans to marry two months after her coming-of-age ceremony. After the first year of them getting too over the top with their display of affection for one another, I started trying to avoid them as much as humanly possible because I couldn't stand seeing how cringy they were. I ended up getting so caught up in Dan's life that I didn't notice the time passing me by, and before I knew it, my coming-of-age ceremony was only a day away. The day before my coming-of-age ceremony, I was woken up by someone. When I looked around

  • A Dragons Heart   Coming-of-age

    The next day I spent the afternoon with Walter in the living room, enjoying tea with him. Walter asked me how my graduation went the day before, "I noticed you came home earlier than expected yesterday. Did something happen at the ball?""Not really. Dan and I just had enough of the ball after a while, neither of us enjoy dancing, and I never socialised much with the other students in my class other than Tasha while she was still there, so there wasn't anything for us to do.""Well, now you have your coming-of-age ceremony in 3 years. I look forward to seeing you officially become an adult, but I will miss you being small enough to fit in my arms.""You still say that every year...I haven't fit in your arms since I was 7."While Walter and I were talking, a maid came into the room, "Miss, there's a guest here for you."I couldn't help but sigh, "Tasha should know by now that she can just come in. I don't understand why she sometimes feels the need to knock first.""It's not miss Tasha.

  • A Dragons Heart   A new perspective

    As I was reeling from the surprise of how my eyes looked, the pain suddenly spiked, and I was thrown off balance. The pain quickly became too much for me to handle, and I fell to the floor and passed out the moment I hit the ground. When I came to, I was in what looked like one of the castle's guest rooms, and to my surprise, my head stopped hurting, 'I'm so glad my head has stopped hurting. I can't believe it got so bad I fainted. I feel embarrassed!' As I woke up more, I remembered what the king told me, 'Wait, didn't the king show me eyes were changing just before I fainted?' I looked around and saw a dressing mirror. I got off the bed and rushed over to it. When I looked in the mirror, my eyes were a solid pink colour, 'I can't believe it, my eyes really did change!' While I was in disbelief looking in the mirror, Dan came into the room to check on me, "Sasha, are you awake?" I couldn't bring myself to look away from the mirror while I answered, "Yeah, I'm over here..." "Mom

  • A Dragons Heart   Arranged marriage

    As we looked around for the prince, I tried to dig deeper into who this guy was, but he was too tight-lipped about everything to do with himself apart from his name. I slowly got frustrated and ended up outright asking him, "Can't I know anything more about you past your name?" He thought about it for a minute before smiling and saying, "But wouldn't that ruin the mystery?" His answer only frustrated me further, "Uh, you're just frustrating. Not everyone likes the mysterious type, you know..." "Then why can't you stop paying attention to me and asking me questions?" For some reason, I couldn't stop myself from blushing at his comment, "Don't get so full of yourself! I'm only curious! You're the only person here who somehow knows what the 3rd prince looks like, so it's only natural I want to know how." "But you didn't ask how I knew him. You only asked questions about me." I felt embarrassed being caught out like that. Then, just as I was about to yell at him for being arrogant,

    After a few minutes, the waiter returned and guided us over to the table. As we sat down, he handed us a menu each, "Please take your time choosing. I'll be just over here ready to take your order." I picked up the menu and looked it over, but I couldn't recognise any of the food on there. I had never eaten or heard of anything listed on there, so I didn't know what to choose, 'Why did he have to take me here! I have no idea what I'm ordering! What even is Ceviche?' Larry noticed I was having a hard time on the menu, so he asked, "If you like, I can order something for you?" "No, I can pick for myself! I just need a minute..." "Ok, take all the time you need." I kept looking over the menu until I found something that sounded familiar. Unfortunately, since it had been a lifetime since I had fish, I didn't remember much about it other than its taste. After a minute, Larry asked me, "Have you decided what you would like yet?" I wasn't confident I would like my choice, but I still a

    The next day I was outside in my private garden when Tasha came over to visit for the first time since my coming-of-age ball. When Tasha walked into the garden, she greeted me the moment she saw me, "Sash! Since I never got to see you on your birthday, I wanted to-" when I looked at Tasha, she stopped mid-sentence the moment she saw my eyes. I was confused about what she was so surprised by, "You wanted to what?" Tasha's face was both shocked and surprised, "Sash, there's something wrong with your eyes!" "What's wrong with my eyes?" "They've changed!" I suddenly realised that she didn't know, "Oh, that. Yes, I already know about that. It happened during my coming-of-age ceremony." "What exactly happened?!" Tasha came over and sat down as I explained everything to her. Finally, after a few minutes, I finished my explanation, and Tasha sat back in her chair in a state of overload from the information, "That's a lot to take in all at once... I didn't even know something like this w

    As we walked into the estate, I noticed the Marquis wasn't with Terry, so I asked, "Where's the Marquis? I was told he would be visiting today as well." "My Father had some last-minute business to take care of and entrusted today's meeting to me." "Speaking of business, I thought you worked as a magic teacher at Red phoenix academy. So why are you working with your Father in the magic trade?" Terry pulled a sly smirk at me, "I don't see how that's any of your concern." I couldn't help pulling a frustrated look at Terry, "Well, I have to make sure you're qualified to judge our product and not just blindly assume things about it. I know you have a history of wrong assumptions." Terry pulled an amused but slightly annoyed face at me, "I seem to recall nothing but sound judgement on my part. However, I do recall meeting a lively child who didn't understand proper manners. As for my qualifications, all your magic talent is all the evidence I need to show my knowledge and skill of magic

    Hearing him talk about this ability I apparently have, I couldn't help my curiosity and asked him, "Did your Mother tell you how to use the ability?" Terry stared intensely at the mana shard while looking like he was lost in deep thought, "No, she only told me what I could expect if I awakened my eyes. Needless to say, she was disappointed when I didn't." As Terry said that, I could see the depressed look on his face, "I'm sorry to hear that. It must have been hard on you, feeling like you let your family down." Hearing me say that, Terry let out a light sigh and put the mana shard in his pocket, "Nonsense, me not awakening my eyes never meant I let my family down. On the contrary, my Father holds my talent for magic in high regard. If he didn't trust my abilities, he would have never entrusted today's meeting to me alone." Seeing how Terry was acting, I couldn't help but think, 'He's put his guard back up. He let it down for a moment when I asked about my abilities, but now his eg

    After half an hour of walking, I started questioning if Tasha really knew her way to the market square, "Are you sure we're going the right way?""Yep! I'm 90% sure!""What about the last 10%...""I'm 100% sure!""..."We wandered around, aimlessly getting deeper into the city. After a while, I was sure Tasha didn't know where she was going, "You don't know where we are, do you? This looks nothing like the area near the market square.""I'm sure we're close...""Should we ask one of the patrol guards for directions?""They might get suspicious and send us back!""Wouldn't that be better than being lost?""But we'll be punished!""Fine, then ask someone when they walk by.""But what if they also get suspicious and report us to the guards?""Not everyone is suspicious of us!""You don't know that...""Fine, I'll keep following you for now, but if we don't find it soon, I'm gonna ask someone where to go."Tasha looked relieved and happy that I wasn't going to ask for directions yet, "Yay!

    After the guard left, the king looked at Terry and me, "You should bring her up here and let her rest on the crown princess's throne." Terry looked at the king, surprised, "Are you sure, your majesty?" "Of course I am. My son has troubled her greatly. It's the least I can do." Terry then made his way up the stairs and placed me down on the throne beside the king. Once I was sat down, I said to the king, "Thank you." After an hour, the guard returned with two other guards dragging Larry by the arms, wearing special shackles that prevented him from using mana, casting spells, or changing forms. The two guards dragged Larry up to the king and dropped him to his knees. Larry looked up at the king and asked, "Father, what's the meaning of this?!" Without realising it, Larry's eyes were still in their pink state for the king to see, "I can see you actually had pink eyes this whole time." Larry then realised his mistake, "That's beside the point! Why have you ordered your guards to put

    Over the next month, the guards set up the barrier like Larry told them to, which kept me from collecting the mana in the air. Finally, after that month was over, it came that time when Larry would normally give me some small amount of food. One of the guards in front of my cell received a call from Larry. When he finished talking, he turned to me and said, "His Highness said he won't be able to make it until later today, and because of your previous attempt to escape, he won't be bringing you this month's ration." I let out an amused huff, "He barely feeds me already. So why do I care if he misses one?" The guard didn't respond and turned back around to continue standing guard. Finally, after a few hours, it came time for the guards to change, but no one came in to relieve the current guard. After a few minutes of waiting, the guards in front of my cell became restless, "The next shift should be here by now. Those two in the evening shift are normally more punctual than this." "J

    Larry would come back to the cave every week to try and convince me to sign the contract, but I refused every time. Finally, after three weeks, Larry came into the cave carrying a stale piece of bread, "You've been in here a month now. Aren't you hungry?" "I went two months without eating of my own choice. You really think I'll cave after a month?" Larry smiled at me, "I have to admit, I do admire your spirit. I think you've earned this much, at least." he ripped the bread in half and threw one of the halves into my cell at my feet, "I'll give you the other half next month." He then left the cave. I reached over, picked up the piece of bread he gave me, and took a small bite out of it, 'Tastes awful, but it's better than nothing. But I should ration it for the next month.' After taking just one bite, I put the bread down beside me and started practising my mana control, 'He said I can't use my mana, but what about the mana in the air?' Concentrating, I was able to see the faint gl

  • A Dragons Heart   The cave

    As I slowly started to come to, I opened my eyes and looked around the room. I noticed I was in what looked like a cave. After completely coming to, I sat up and had a proper look around. I was inside a cell built into the corner of a cave with guards standing just outside the door to the cell. Feeling groggy along with a headache, I took off my wig and mask and threw them on the ground, "What the hell happened? Where am I?" "You always ask a lot of questions, don't you?" I looked over to my left and saw the man in the crow mask standing outside the side of my cell, "Who are you? Are you the bastard that kidnapped my child?!" The man smiled as he took a few steps to the side, allowing me to see the rest of the cave. As I looked behind him, I saw a pedestal in the middle of the room with my egg on it, "My egg! What the hell do you want?!" "You never stop asking questions. That's something I really couldn't stand when we were together." "Just tell me who you are!" The man faced me

I can't find a single thing that can help us!""Sash, please, we'll find something. It'll just take time.""Terry, it's been nearly two months since our egg was taken from us. I want to get it back.""I do too, but we have time. The child won't hatch for nearly five years. So we have all that time to search.""From what I've seen, we're not even close.

    The next day, Terry called Dan, "I need you to come to the estate today." "I'm a bit busy with work today. I can come down tomorrow evening if that's fine with you." "I'm sorry, but we need you to come down today. It's an emergency." Dan started to get a bad feeling, "What's happened?" "Late in the evening yesterday, our estate was attacked, and our egg was kidnapped. Not being able to deal with it, Sash's shut down and hasn't said a word since yesterday." "I'll be there as fast as I can." After a while, Dan arrived at the estate, and Terry escorted him to our bedroom as he told him, "Like I told you, she's completely shut down and unresponsive." "If I'm being perfectly honest, I can't blame her. I wouldn't take it well if my children were kidnapped." When they entered the room, Dan walked over to me and started to check my state, "Sash, can you hear me?" I didn't respond or open my eyes. After Dan finished examining me, he said to Terry, "She's in shock. She could wake up tom

    Terry walked me into the living room and put me on the settee. Seeing that I couldn't stop crying, Terry crouched in front of me and held my hand, "Sash, we'll get our child back, I promise you. But right now, I need you to stay here. I'm going to call the guard. While they're on their way here, I'm going to go to the incubation room and see if they left anything behind we can use to find them." I was too emotional to talk at this point, so Terry reached into his pocket, gave me his handkerchief and then got to his feet, "I'll be back soon..." Terry then left me to calm down in the living room while he went upstairs to the incubation room. He looked around the room and couldn't find anything, only some scratches on the floor from where they had placed something heavy down, "Looks like I was right. They were smart enough to bring a transport box for the egg to keep it warm." He then went out of the room and checked on the guards. Unfortunately, they were all severely knocked out and
