Love Me, Dragon Thirteen
CHAPTER 13 ALARIC I stepped out of the bathtub and immediately Boaz, the royal butler handed me my robe, I gave him a slight nod. I put on the rod and walked to the main chamber, my royal apparel had been placed orderly. And all the rest servants stood to help me get dressed. I detest that I am not allowed to even move a finger without someone there to help me bring them down. I veered around and strode towards the window once I was done getting dressed. Boaz walked close to me. Most of the ladies sat down with their handmaid knitting beautiful embroideries, they were daughters of noblemen and kings from all around the realm. So they had been taught to knit ever since they learned to walk. "Do you think there is a particular reason most of them are seated right below the royal chambers' windows?" I asked, staring outside the glass windows, my hands placed on my chins, as I scrutinized, I heard silence and I turned to face Boaz for him to speak. "I am sure that the ladies a

CHAPTER 14 AMELIA My heart began to race at the touch of his finger, it felt like whatever our soul was made of, his and mine were the same, I could see the genuineness in his eyes as his hands trailed up my body "I don't know Alaric," I whispered, I couldn't say more as my voice was shaky. "Come on, Amelia, do you despise me this much," Alaric's plea echoed in my mind, tugging at my heartstrings. "Amelia, I know I hurt you, but if you just give me one last chance, I will explain everything," he pleaded earnestly. I knew that he was being sincere and I could hear it in his voice. The anger that once consumed me had subsided, yet a flicker of curiosity ignited within me. A part of me yearned to hear his side of the story. I wanted to know why he left with no words, why he just couldn't say goodbye, why he never mentioned he was the king, and why he never told me he was a dragon shifter, was he dangerous? Was that why he left to prevent himself from hurting me? "Okay," I respond

CHAPTER 15 AMELIA All I needed was just five minutes, five minutes to get past the guard by midnight, and five minutes to make my way as quickly as I could to the garden. I entered the garden, my eyes immediately found Alaric standing there, his smile radiant and welcoming. I can vividly remember right now, why I feel for him, it was this irresistible charm and the way he looked at me with profound passion. "Hey, you made it," he greeted me, and I couldn't help but return his smile. "A walk in the park," I replied, a playful glint in my eyes. The familiarity between us washed away any lingering doubts, and I felt a sense of ease settle upon me. This was the man I fell for and there was nothing that changed about him, he still had that softness in his eyes and the way he glanced at me still made my heart race. He motioned for me to sit, and I obliged, taking a seat beside him. In his hands, he held an apple, extending it toward me. I couldn't resist teasing him. "Should I be coll

CHAPTER 16 AMELIA The next day, the first competition was to be held. I was far from ready and I had no training whatsoever, before yesterday, I had no interest in participating in this competition but here I am now, doing that. As Constance helped me into the tight dress I felt my whole life being sucked out of me by that dress and it was unbearable, I couldn't help but complain. "The dress is too tight," I grumbled, feeling suffocated by the constriction around my waist. How do some of these ladies wear dresses like this all day, if I go a whole day in this I would most likely die and my corpse would be so shrunken by them, I would only have my skeleton to bury. Constance frowned, her disapproval evident. "Please, do not complain. The corset needs to snatch your waist tight, so you have a smaller waist. It's all about looking good for making babies," she replied matter-of-factly. This was so bizarre was I doing all this just to look appealing, so my waist would look smaller, hen

CHAPTER 17 ALARIC I knew my action yesterday caused one or two outrage but in my defense, I couldn't leave it in the hands of faith, I thought long and hard about it. But I just couldn't, it was too risky, I knew she had done well and dressed so elegantly well, but I know better than not to know that there was one or two underground politics that is being played in this competition. A lot of parents are desperate to make their daughters win and that means they could go as far as bribing the officials to make that happen at this stage. So when I saw the opportunity to help, make sure that Amelia is among the top twenty, I took it damning all consequences. Here I am right now. In the grand courtroom, I sat surrounded by three of my trusted elders - Elder Noah, Aaron, and Paul. Boaz, my loyal advisor, was by my side. They had called for my audience early this morning, I had planned to meet up with Amelia in the garden but I guess that would have to wait. I had to give them their au

CHAPTER 18 AMELIA I glared at him, still trying to comprehend how he could look at me with a straight face and tell me that he doesn't want to see me anymore. "I didn't say we shouldn't see anymore," he corrected and I sighed, what difference does it make, just when I was getting used to being happy in his arms once again, he drops this sort of bombshell. Was he used to breaking my heart? "Do you take pleasure in hurting me?" I asked and I could see him chuckling and I playfully shoved his hands which were wrapped around my waist and he pulled me into his arms again. "Come on Amelia, why would I ever delight pleasure in hurting you, I am doing this to protect you," he explained, his hands were trailing down my arms and then up to my neck and he pulled me into a deep kiss, his hands laid gently on my back, as his lips and mine touched, his lips was warmth and his breath was a bit heavy, heaving and pulling me in and then I paused and tilted my head forward to accommodate his mou

CHAPTER 19 AMELIA Constance is showing me how to knit and it is a particularly boring and unbearable process, it this what they would use to determine the winner of the contest, I might as well just quit right now, because there is no way I am learning how to knit, not to talk of becoming proficient in it. "I give up," I finally declared, throwing the knitted scarf, or what I would want to be a scarf on the floor. "You cannot give up now, I know it looks hectic but with a little practice you would get it," she tried to encourage me and I sighed. "That is the thing, I don't want to get it, I don't want to be used to sitting on a rocking chair all day knitting," I replied to her and she frowned, I know that at this point she was already getting so frustrated about my wits and bankers. But those were the things that made me, my core essence, I loved to read, to talk and I do not want to always be agreeable. I love to have an opinion of my own, not just concur with what people say be

CHAPTER 20 AMELIA It was the day of the competition and I kept clenching my hands together, I was nervous and I couldn't. Keep my heart from racing, I had the cooking skills of a five-year-old and I wasn't even that good. I knew Alaric couldn't come to my rescue today because he had to keep a low profile and tone down the favoritism. I was on my own. Well technically, I wasn't completely on my own, I had Constance by my side who is meant to assist me but she isn't allowed to give me any direction or intervene. So, yes, I was on my own today. We all walked up to the cooking quarters dressed in our aprons and forced to put on a smile to appear appealing. "You would have to wear your smile on all the time during the cooking contest," Constance had reminded me before we went up to the courtyard, and I frowned almost immediately. "Why," I had asked, I don't know why I had to be forced to do something as remotely boring as cooking and forced to wear a smile the entire time while d

CHAPTER 43AMELIAAs the days passed after our wedding, I began to feel something different within me. At first, I brushed it off as the excitement and joy of our new life as husband and wife. But as the feeling persisted, I couldn't ignore the possibility that I might be pregnant.One morning, I decided to take a pregnancy test in one of the dragon healer house, my heart pounding with anticipation. As I waited for the results, I couldn't help but feel a mix of nerves and excitement. When the test confirmed my suspicion, tears of joy filled my eyes."Alaric!" I called out, rushing to find him. "I have something to tell you!"He met me with a concerned look, but it quickly turned to curiosity when he saw the tears in my eyes."Amelia, what is it? Are you alright?" he asked, taking my hands in his."I'm more than alright," I said, my voice trembling with excitement. "I'm pregnant, Alaric! We're going to be parents!"His eyes widened in surprise, and a wide smile broke across his face. "

The preparations for the grand ceremony were in full swing, and the palace was abuzz with activity. Amelia and Constance, my dearest friend and confidante, were by my side, helping me with every detail."Amelia, this is going to be the most spectacular event the kingdom has ever seen," Constance exclaimed, her eyes shining with enthusiasm.I smiled, feeling a mixture of nervousness and anticipation. "I can't believe it's finally happening, Constance. I never thought I'd be standing here, about to become queen."Constance gave me a reassuring hug. "You deserve this, Amelia. You've faced so much, and now it's time for you to be celebrated and loved."As we continued with the preparations, the palace was transformed into a breathtaking vision of beauty. Lavish decorations adorned every corner, and the scent of fresh flowers filled the air. The ballroom was being prepared

CHAPTER 41ALARICAs the dust settled after the scary events that had unfolded, I stood before the people of my kingdom, my heart heavy with the weight of the decisions I had to make. Gregory's betrayal had caused great pain and turmoil, and I knew that justice had to be served."People of the kingdom," I addressed them, my voice firm yet tinged with sadness. "Today, we have faced battle and deception from one of our own. Gregory's actions have caused harm and division among us, and I cannot stand idly by."The crowd murmured, their eyes filled with anticipation as they waited to hear what I would do. They trusted me to lead them, and I had to be strong in my resolve."As punishment for his betrayal, I hereby banish Gregory and his family from the kingdom," I declared. "They will no longer be welcome within these walls."A mix of gasps and whispers spread through the crowd, and I could see the shock and disbelief in their eyes. Banishing a family was no small decision, but I knew it w

CHAPTER 40AMELIAAs I struggled against the restraints that held me captive, my heart sank as I looked into Lucia's cold, menacing eyes. She had transformed into a dragon, her scales gleaming with malice, and I knew I was no match for her strength. Fear gripped me, but I refused to show weakness."Why are you doing this, Lucia?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady. "We were never friends but I never hated you, I thought even once, when all this was over we could be friends."Lucia laughed, her voice filled with bitterness. "Friends? Ha! You will never my friend, Amelia. You were always the golden child, the one everyone adored. I should have been the queen, not you!"Tears welled up in my eyes as I struggled to understand her betrayal. "Lucia, I never wanted to take anything from you. I never wanted to be queen. It wasn't my choice."She sneered, her claws inching closer. "Oh, please! Spare me your pathetic excuses. You stole everything I ever wanted, and now it's time for you to

CHAPTER 39AMELIAThe morning of my wedding day arrived, and the excitement mixed with nerves consumed me. I confided in Constance, my loyal friend and bridesmaid, about my jittery feelings."Constance, I can't help but feel like something bad is about to happen," I admitted, fidgeting with the lace on my gown.She smiled reassuringly, placing a gentle hand on my shoulder. "Amelia, it's natural to have a case of nerves before the big day. But don't let fear cloud this moment. You're about to marry the love of your life, Alaric, and it's going to be a beautiful day."I took a deep breath, trying to push away the foreboding sense lingering at the back of my mind. "You're right, Constance. I must focus on the happiness ahead."As the ceremony approached, my heart pounded louder with every passing minute. My father, looking dashing in his formal attire, came to take me to the aisle. "You look stunning, my dear," he said, his eyes shimmering with pride and love."Thank you, Father," I repl

CHAPTER 38AMELIAThe day of the palace celebrations was finally here, and excitement filled the air! The village was adorned with colorful decorations, and the sweet aroma of freshly baked treats wafted through the streets. Alaric and I had gone back to my hometown and I felt good to be finally home."Amelia, my dear," my mother said with a twinkle in her eyes, "your father and I have something important to discuss with you."I furrowed my brows, wondering what it could be. "What is it, Mother?"My father smiled warmly, putting a comforting hand on my shoulder. "Alaric has asked for your hand in marriage, Amelia."My heart skipped a beat, and my cheeks flushed with a mix of surprise and joy. "Oh! Really?" I stammered, trying to contain my emotions."Yes, my dear," my mother chimed in, her voice gentle. "He came to us with a sincere heart and formally asked for your hand. We couldn't be happier for both of you."Tears of happiness welled up in my eyes, and I hugged my parents tightly.

CHAPTER 37ALARICAs I stood before the entire kingdom, my heart pounded with a mix of nervousness and excitement. This was the moment I had been waiting for—the moment to right the wrongs and reveal the truth about the competition.With a deep breath, I climbed onto the stage, facing the expectant crowd. The anticipation in their eyes was palpable, and I knew I had their full attention. This was my chance to be a leader, to show them the strength of justice and the power of truth."My fellow citizens," I began, my voice carrying across the square, "today, I stand before you to address a matter of great importance—a matter that has affected us all."I could feel their curiosity growing, and I took a moment to gather my thoughts before continuing. "During the recent competition, there was an unfortunate incident that led to confusion and doubt," I explained, my eyes scanning the crowd."But today, I am here to set things right," I declared, my voice strong and resolute. "I have come to

CHAPTER 36AMELIAAlaric and I have found a habit of seeing each other in secret. I didn't like keeping our relationship a secret but right now, that was the only way we could be with each other. He came into my room this night like he has been doing all throughout.I lost every sense of reasoning when I gazed at him and trailed his eyes, he was staring at my breast, I wasn't wearing any bra and my nipple lines were visible from my silky dress."Just call my name," he muttered to me, his voice was hoarse and you can see how he longed for me. I was trying to fight every will in me to say no, no to him pinning me to the wall and having my body press to his. "Alaric," I whispered and that was the tipping point for us, he took my lips into his, kissing me hungrily. He lifted me and placed me on top of the counter, While our lips parted for a split second to breathe, it was just like going underwater and coming up for air. I grabbed his hand and pulled him to me, our lips meeting in a

LUCIA As I sat there, feeling humiliated and angry, I called for my handmaid to distract myself with a pedicure. "Can you believe the audacity of Amelia?" I lamented bitterly.The maid frowned, curious about what had happened. "What did she do, Your Grace?""She thinks she's so superior to everyone else," I said with a hint of venom in my voice. "I hate her so much."The maid hesitated for a moment before asking a daring question, "Why did you agree so easily to the crime they accused you of?"I sighed, feeling a mixture of frustration and determination. "I have my plans, my dear. I can't rush the whole process. At that moment, there was nothing I could do. Those two incompetent maids had already confessed, and the evidence against me was overwhelming. It was the only reasonable thing to do."The maid nodded, understanding my predicament. "You're wise, Your Grace. It was a strategic move."I smirked, feeling a sense of pride. "It has nothing to do with wisdom, my dear. It's about kno
