After that day, everything with my family and Tasha seemed perfect. Everything was like a dream, and before I knew it, two years had passed. Although Dan and I grew a lot closer, he still seemed a bit cold and distant, but he always made time to be around me and see how I was doing. Tasha had become more like an older sister over the last two years, especially considering how often she visits. My estate had essentially become her second home. She even stopped the night occasionally, although if it were left up to her, she wouldn't leave. Yesterday, we received a letter from the king informing us that the crown princess would be visiting in his stead and would arrive today. So Crimson and Walter have been preparing the estate yesterday and this morning, especially for her visit. When the royal carriage pulled up, several knights exited the carriage first, and then the princess. Crimson was waiting in front of the estate to greet her personally when she arrived, "Greetings, princess,
A Dragons Heart The party of the century
During the next six days, Crimson had me trying on dresses daily. Thankfully, Crimson finally decided which one she liked the most a day before the ball. On the day of the ball, I walked out of the estate holding Crimson's hand. When we went to go to our family carriage, the royal carriage pulled up, and a knight exited the carriage and walked over to us, "Excuse me, Duchess, the king sent me in the royal carriage to personally escort you and the young lady to the ball personally!" Crimson looked surprised to see such a grand carriage sent to pick us up with a royal knight escort, "His majesty didn't need to go to such efforts. Our family carriage would have been more than enough!" "I'm afraid his majesty insisted that I escort you there. He said when his future daughter-in-law arrives, he wants everyone to see that she is a personal guest of the royal family, so no one will think of looking down on her during the ball." When the guard said future daughter-in-law, Crimson looked no
A Dragons Heart Dragon’s day out, 1/2
The next day I couldn't get the guy I saw at the ball out of my head. Later that day, while I was sitting at my table in the middle of my flower garden, Dan walked past the garden as he noticed me staring into space while nursing a cup of tea. For reasons I couldn't understand, that man filled all my thoughts, 'Who was that guy at the ball yesterday? And why did my heart start to go crazy when he looked at me?! Was he using some kind of weird magic?!' With my mind completely preoccupied, I didn't notice Dan walk up beside me, "What are you spacing out for?" Seeing Dan suddenly appear out of nowhere nearly scared me to death, "Ahhhh! Don't sneak up on me!" "I didn't. I walked up to you in plain sight. You were just too distracted to notice." "Still, you shouldn't have scared me like that!" "It's not my fault you scare easy. What had you so distracted anyway?" "I don't wanna talk about it..." Dan took the spare seat at the opposite end of the table and sat down, "If you tell me a
A Dragons Heart Dragon’s day out, 2/2
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 direc
A Dragons Heart Pure ego
After two weeks of being locked away in the estate with no sweets or Tasha as part of my punishment, I couldn't stop myself from being overwhelmed by boredom. After the first couple of days of my punishment, I started spending more time with my brothers. But, of course, I mostly spent my time with Dan since he didn't have to go to school anymore since Crimson was teaching him personally at home, and Tom was still going and didn't get back until late in the day. But the three of us still managed to spend the occasional day together, usually at the end of the week when Tom didn't have school. During those weeks, when I spent some time with each of them individually, they showed and taught me different things they had been learning. Since Tom was talented with magic, he started teaching me simple tricks to control my mana. Still, it turned out I wasn't naturally gifted with mana control and only had average talent, so his simple tricks were complicated to understand for me. Dan showed
A Dragons Heart A terrible favour
After another two weeks, Crimson told me that Tasha could finally start coming down again. She also sent a letter to Clair telling her Tasha was allowed to start visiting again. The day after Crimson sent the letter, Tasha arrived at the estate and rushed to the door, almost tripping over her dress due to her excitement. After she was let in, she ran out to find me when she was told where I was. Tasha ran outside and over to my personal garden, where she saw me sitting around my table talking to Dan. When I saw Tasha rushing over to me, she had a very desperate look on her face while shouting, "Sash!" The moment she got within arm's length of me, she immediately started hugging me far too tightly, "I missed you so much!" Since she was crushing me, I could barely talk, "I... missed... you... too..." After a few moments, she let go of me, allowing me to breathe again. She then sat beside me on the empty chair, "What happened in the month I was gone?!" "Nothing." "But something mus
A Dragons Heart Innate mana
After that day, time seemed to pass me by without my notice, and before I knew it, it was already the day after my 7th birthday. When I got downstairs, I headed straight into the dining room to have one of the maids bring me breakfast. When I walked into the room, I saw Walter sitting around the table. It looked like he had been waiting for me to come down, and when he saw me, he got out of his seat and walked over to me, "Sash, since you're old enough now, I want to give you a test which will tell me your aptitude towards magic." I felt confused by what Walter was talking about, "But you've been teaching me magic, don't you already know?" "Yes, that is true. Your Mother and I have been giving you personal lessons teaching you control, but we've only been teaching you the basics that all dragons learn, which helps you control your mana and some basic spells. It could have gotten out of hand if we hadn't taught you how to manage your mana." "Oh, I haven't been learning proper magic
A Dragons Heart The first day
The following day, Walter came to find me in the middle of the day while I was outside in my personal garden, "Sash." "Yes?" "I've managed to sort everything out, and you'll be starting school a little sooner than I thought." "When will I start?" "Tomorrow." "That's a lot sooner than I thought it would be!" "I know, but don't worry, your brother will be there to help you if you need it." "But what if he's busy?" "You still have the teachers at the school you can go to for help." "Ok..." The next day, a maid woke me up early, "Miss, you have to get up. You have to attend your first day of school." I tried my best to ignore her and sleep in, but the maid stole my blanket as I tried, "I'm sorry, miss, but the Duke has given us permission to do whatever it takes to get you out of bed." I sat up in my bed feeling groggy with my hair in a frizzy mess, "Fine..." I got up and sat in front of my dresser while a maid brushed my hair. As she did, I saw another maid enter the room thr

A Dragons Heart New beginnings
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
A Dragons Heart Shift change
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
A Dragons Heart Last hope
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
A Dragons Heart Masquerade
While we were still in Walter's office, I asked him, "Can we cast disguise spells on ourselves before we go to the masquerade?" "Spells like that will be broken the moment you walk into the castle. You'll have to wear a wig to hide your hair, but I'm not sure how we'll hide your eyes. Terry doesn't need to change his since magenta eyes are still relatively common among nobles, but pink eyes are rare enough that dragons will know any noble with them." "I can just change the colour of my eyes." "That won't work. Like I told you, spells like that will be broken when you walk into the castle." "Dad, I can change the colour of my eyes through my own will." Walter looked at me, confused, "What?" I leaned in towards Walter as I slowly changed my eye colour to grey, "I can change my eyes to resemble that of any natural dragon eye colour." "And this isn't a spell?" "No, it's one of a pink eye dragon's abilities, but it's apparently kept secret." "I can understand why. An ability like
A Dragons Heart A helping hand
Terry and I spent the next month working together, combing through everything we could find on the three noble families we were looking into, but we couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. While Terry and I were looking through documents in his office, I finished reading the one I had and threw it on the desk, "Nothing! 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. It's obvious after looking through all this these families didn't do it!" "Then we start again and look for something else to help us." "And how long will that take? I don't want to leave our child's life up to some ruthless bastards who stole it!" "What do you suggest we do then? We've been doing all we can.
A Dragons Heart Sleepless nights
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
A Dragons Heart Aftermath
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
