Emma hit Liam's chest when she managed to stand up. The jealous dragon had taken her to their tower chambers, and she jumped out of his embrace to kiss the floor. She hasn't gotten used to the sudden kidnapping."Taking my wife to have a meal with me," he said as he stopped her little fists.Emma frowned, "I was with Gia, and I had the intention to dinner with her, weren't you busy?""What? Are you sulking, my little wife?""No," she said but a pout formed on her lips."Oh, now you are pouting.""Why would I pout? You are the one who pouts."She pouted again.He chuckled but then he remembered the words from before. The little woman had muttered those words as if they were so simple, but to another dragon that was not him."What were you two doing in the library?"Emma sensed her foul mood again, the sky that was already clearing send thunder as a warning. By now, she had realized that her husband was such a powerful dragon tRelated chapters

"Emma, darling," Liam tried to make the little woman in the bed look at him but she didn't move. She even shoved his hand from her. "Go away," she said and the sad tone reached his ears. "Emma, please," he turned her around and he saw her pout and red eyes. "I... why would you like to learn such things? They are dangerous and you are...""I had learned before, my grandpa was also a warrior in Luriem, remember?""I know, but..." he hesitated, "this is the land of the dragons, it is not the same.""I know, but I am not that weak... if... if you take off the chain..."She knew he was letting the chain on her ankles on purpose. His dragon eyes could see it even if the magic was invisible. However, he had never done anything to break it, and she thought he was making her his prisoner. Every time, she wanted to please him and not irritate him that much, but it all just felt like a lie. However, after many days together, she felt that she can have a little hope,

Suddenly the alarm on Liam's heart made the clouds around the Dukedom create thunder. The desperation appeared in his red eyes as if a blazing fire was about to erupt from within him. He looked everywhere in the chamber, but the figure of his beautiful wife was not there. Her scent had disappeared too. Then he flew out from the tower to call for the knights and servants to order a throughout search on her. Every corned should be inspected. However, not many steps outside the tower, he saw her. She was in the gardens while kneeling in the grass. Her eyes were looking up at him and waving innocently."Emma!"He landed near her and she gazed at him with a little triumphant smile on her face. "Did you see? I did it!""What?""My special magic," she smiled again but this time, she was even shining in delight. Even more, she stood up and jumped into his arms by herself. "Space magic! I didn't know I will do it well but I did it.""You..." he was so desperate a f

Emma returned alone to the tower, but the enthusiasm from before didn't leave with her. Only some strange premonition filling her heart combined with anxiety and fear. If the man, the dragon, was charmed by such fragrance from the start, then all of his gentlenesses, his sweet words, and care were all lies, all of it was an illusion."Emma?"He came back in a rush after he didn't see her in the library. The other maids and servants hadn't seen her leave too, but she left a note on the table to stop him from getting worried.However, the moment he arrived he found her in bed with her arms holding her legs."Why didn't you wait for me?" he reached and pull her into a warm hug. "Emma, what is wrong?"The warmth he gave her only provoked a more sadness delving into her heart. He made her face look at him but what he saw stunned him."Emma," her tears were rolling down her face, "what happened? Are you hurt?"She saw his desperation and the care in his face. The frow

The training hall was not that far from the main Mansion. It was a big building with two floors, and it was usually filled with knights and warriors to spar together and train in groups. However, that day, they were all given a day off. They even received some money to enjoy in the town and the shows. No one questioned the reason, though, it was free money after all. "Greetings, Your Highness," Gia was already waiting in the hall with her training clothes, a simple white robe, and some pants. Her wooden sword was also by her waist. Emma smiled at her and nodded, "hello, Gia, it is a splendid day to train!"Emma had already changed into more comfortable clothes too, however, she couldn't help but compare the beautiful and fit body of Gia. She looked so good in those clothes as if they were meant for her. "Should we jump to some warm-up exercises, Your Highness?""No need," Emma smiled, "Ina already helped me with that."Gia looked at the knight standing by the si

"What did you ask me to come, Your Majesty?"Liam was irritated, so much irritated by his idiotic older brother. He respected him as a leader and was loyal to him as a King, but as an elder brother, he was eager sometimes to murder him or trap him in his own schemes.

Conquering the Duke 179.
Night and thunder surrounded the castle; the tall towers of stone crumbled with the echoes of the wind hitting the walls and windows. Fear was easy to feel, anxiousness could invade the heart and soul of the weak, but the woman lying in the last room of the tower was still indifferent. The terror of residing on an earth that had been already taken over by murderous creatures didn’t make her succumb to shivers and sorrow.Even when strong golden chains gripped her fair porcelain legs, leaving painful red marks in the soft skin of her ankles, she didn’t care, nor did she make a whimper. The man who trapped her never unlocked them once from the first day he took her a year ago. He only watched as she sat on the floor with her back to the wall, occupying one corner of the room. Lonely and lost.His eyes were filled with more than desire, but a strong lo

"What is the meaning of this symbol?"The man looked confused. The sweet voice of Emma made him lose control of his words and actions. He didn't know why was that, he had never been subjected to hypnosis nor any kind of suggestive game. However, this time, it was as if some drug had entered his body and made him a week to listen to that woman's orders.Emma showed him the ring and waited for his response. The golden symbol engraved in the ring glowed with the two little red gems. It was a magnificent piece, almost as if a genius craft maker had taken inspiration from heaven. The way it was done was marvelous. A masterpiece. Victor's eyes stared at the ring for a few seconds and wondered where did she get that kind of gold. If she had sold it before, then her debt would have disappeared too. It was not as if she didn't try it, but the elders didn't let her do that. They knew it was the clue to find her real identity. However, Emma didn't hesitate to go to the ma

The man let her stay in his lap for the rest of the journey. As they were moving around the roads, she noticed that they were leaving the small town and entering what seemed a base surrounded by tall trees and a metal fence."We will stay here, for the time being, my love," the man whispered and kissed her long hair. Emma didn't care as she was tired. For now, she shall pretend to agree with the man and his needs.She closed her eyes and slept without care. When she felt that he carried her to a room and into a bed, she let him caress her face as she succumbed to her dreams. Again, the man with the red eyes showed up. This time, however, the symbol on her ring appeared in the chest of the man as he was more intense in making love to her. He pulled her to his body and it was as if he was really there sharing his warmth. Emma didn't fight it, she wanted to see him, to touch him and remember when she wakes up in the morning. "Who... who are you?"She whispered as s

Nothing.The eyes and the figure suddenly disappeared without a trace. There was no red glinting and calling her that night, but the feeling remained. She knew it was someone from her memories, that person was looking for her eagerly and she wanted to be found. She returned to the restaurant that night with many thoughts filling her mind. The man's figure, the red eyes, the longing in her heart. She even forgot about the testing of her powers, she had more important things to figure out that night. However, just as she was about to reach the entrance of the street, she heard screams. The voice was from her aunty and many other men. "Trash everything! Don't leave a single piece standing!""No, please," the voice of the old woman came with a painful cry. "Leave him alone, he is already badly injured." "Shut up!"Then more screams and shattering of windows and wood. There were at least a dozen tall and strong men with bats and metal long bars dest

The restaurant, which once was filled with chatters and laughter, was now echoing with silence. The few last days, the old elders kept it closed as it seemed that no one would enter the business for fear of the consequences, they will go to the neighbor town to sell some of their goods, though the journey there was a bit long."I will go out," Emma said after her training in her room. She had been having more progress in controlling her illusions, but it was not enough, she needed to test them. She came down the stairs and the two elders were already finishing preparing for the next day as they will go to a faraway market. "Is there something you need from the shop?""Darling, I thought you were already asleep," the old aunty came forward with a caring look, "you should go and sleep, you must be tired."Emma smiled, she knew that the old woman had seen her training, "I am fine, aunty, but I wish to take some fresh air now. There is something I want to test

I turned around. There was a young boy with a tired face, dark circles underneath his green eyes, disheveled black hair and wearing a long white hoodie with an image of a smiling face. He seemed to have just woken up from the look of the dried saliva in his mouth and cheek. I didn't need to guess who he was. "Jason""Yes, Mr. Hill asked me to fetch you, but...""You fell asleep," I smirked at the cynical face before me. He was not even feeling guilty. "It's okay I arrived fast and well," I said with a smile that was not reaching my eyes. Later I will have a little play with him."Mr. Hill will call you for your first task this evening, *yawn...*"Mr. Hill was one of the top assistants of that old man. I had never met him before, but I heard about him by listening my father's talk over the phone. His tone was always respectful even when he was the son and heir of Peter Lark and Mr. Hill was only a mere assistant. It was evident that Mr. Hill was not a

They lived without worries for that entire week, with no news about the mafia group nor their men. The old madame was still recovering in the hospital and afraid to return to her house though. Her younger daughter came to see her take her away from that town as quickly as she was informed. Her son, on the other hand, never showed up, no one knew where he went. However, it was almost like an illusion of safety. Quiet and calm in the streets, not many passersby, just dust and the clash on the windows. Everyone knew that the thugs will come, they had already waited a lot of time to unleash their attack. The residents and friends who had heard about the situation with the Larks were afraid to go to the restaurant; those days not many customers went to eat or even order some take-away. Only after the harsh efforts of Emma going around the neighborhood town to set a stand in the market, they were able to complete the rest of the money for that month. "Emma, my dear, you

The local police arrived at the small house with a small ambulance to take the old madame to the local clinic. They all knew her, and some of the neighbors had already reported the situation as they heard the scandal from afar, however, all of them were scared to get out of their houses. Even the policemen that arrived."Miss Emma, she will be fine, are you alright?" The old officer kept looking at the man on the ground who was still mumbling incoherent words. His team and he knew very well the identity of the man. In fact, Emma also knew it as there was only one mafia group that controlled the town, and those men were from that group. The same one that had lent money to almost all the little business in the town. However, their shady treats had made the little town fear the consequences of not paying their fees. "Miss Emma, this..." one of the police officers looked at Emma with a bit of worry in his eyes. "You should go to the old Larks, they are waiting for
