THE DRAGON'S BRIDE. THE LETTER
In the throne room, The king was seated on his throne with a distraught expression on his face. The royal investigator, Morat, the chief commander, Brenna and Kenna, were seated in the throne room.The sky was dark and cloudy as it was about to rain and the hall was dimly lit concealing the look of anxiousness and fear on the faces of Brenna and Kenna.The royal investigator cleared his throat, “The contents of the letter are highly incriminating, proper investigation has to be done, my king”“Are you trying to say I would do such a thing? Are you trying to say that I would leave the kingdom without even telling the king at night? This is treason!”, Brenna said angrily and stood up, “The writer of that false letter and the royal investigator must be charged with treason”. Kenna stared at her mother silently with obvious fear in her eyes.“But I am not the one who wrote the letter”, The royal investigator retorted politely with an expressionless face.“Silence everyone!”, the king orde
THE DRAGON'S BRIDE. WITH CHILD
“It’s nice to meet you, I am Princess Kaliyah”, Kaliyah greeted monotonously and without expression. The woman clicked her tongue, “And I am Azar’s mother, the empress!” Kaliyah raised her brows, Azar? It must be the name of the father of her child. She quickly schooled her expression and bowed slightly, “My honor. Is there a problem?” “No, I came to see the human we have been expecting”, she couldn’t hide her disgust when she said ‘human’, “You will begin training in 30 minutes, get ready”, she said and turned to leave. “Wait”, Kaliyah stopped her and the empress paused, without turning back, “I just got here, shouldn’t you think of giving me food first and letting me rest before I go for whatever training I need to go for” The empress chuckled and turned sideways to talk to her, “You are hungry and you cooped yourself up in your room, that’s funny. Were you expecting me to come to serve you? Get ready, in half an hour, you will begin training. Being late will attract punishment

“Mother, what brings you here?”, Azar decided to ask to end the topic of pregnancy and avoid further fight. “To take her, training will begin shortly. I would have sent someone to come take her but I was afraid she’d decline”, the empress said with a smile plastered on her face. “I’m afraid she’d have to skip training for now”, Azar said. The empress looked at Azar, a little dumbfounded, “I am quite hurt that you dare speak against your mother and the Empress but it’s fine, I understand your sentiments as she is with your child. But your father and I have already discussed this. She is not even worthy to carry your…” “Mother”, Azar cut her mid-sentence, “Enough with all these. She cannot begin training immediately because she is with child” Kaliyah was touched seeing the way Azar supported her but then she thought, “It’s not like he cares about me, it's about his child”. “She is weak and clueless about this empire and about the kind she carries in her womb! She has to be taught!
THE DRAGON'S BRIDE. THE FATHER
“Who is the father?”, her father yelled angrily. He had every cause to be angry. She was his lucky prize, the one he planned to sell in marriage to the Slavcans but now she was pregnant… Kaliyah bowed her head as her father kept ranting. No, she didn’t bow her head in shame, she was trying to hide her facial expressions. As dire as the situation was, she couldn’t pull off that remorseful look that her father wanted. “Kaliyah! Are you even listening?”, her father screamed. Just then, her stepmother walked inside with a concerned expression on her face. Kaliyah scoffed, she knew better. “Your Highness”, Kaliyah bowed to greet her, the queen. “Shut the door”, the queen ordered the guards at the door of the courtroom. She then turned to the king, like Kaliyah never greeted her. “My king, I’ve been hearing rumors about Kaliyah getting pregnant, tell me that is not true”, she questioned. When her father didn’t reply, she turned to Kaliyah, “Kaliyah! How could you do this? Who is the f
THE DRAGON'S BRIDE. PARTY IN THE INN
Kaliyah had lied to her father that she wanted to go to riding lessons with her friend when they had planned to go for a party at an inn which was supposedly at the border. It was rumoured that people from different clans and kingdoms visited that inn. Kaliyah and her friend, Anastasia desperately wanted to go.It was morning, her normally tranquil morning was disturbed by Anastasia’s noises. She had overslept!“Why are you still in bed?”, Anastasia screeched with her very little voice.“Oh goodness!,” Kaliyah exclaimed and jumped out of bed, “Rhaegal, get that dress ready, the one I picked last night quickly please”.“Yes princess but please slow down, it’s still too early to start your riding lessons”, Rhaegal stated as she watched the two girls make a mess while trying to hurriedly get ready.“We like early”, Anastasia replied with a weird smile. Rhaegal was beginning to doubt the “riding lessons” but she complied because the king had given his permission already. When Kaliyah was

Brenna rode to her uncle’s house- her mother’s brother. He was part of the king’s court and would know a lot about the Slavcans. He was always one to help her out and accommodate her excesses. When the first queen died, she quickly related her intentions on being the next queen to him and he did his best to make sure she was where she was now. She arrived at his house and met him smoking outside. “Brenna, what are you doing outside the castle walls by this time?”, he scolded while sitting up. Brenna came down from the horse easily and ran to him, “Are you one to scold me for sneaking out while you’re smoking at your age”, she then sat down on the chair close by, “There’s an issue on ground, I just couldn’t sit still and fold my hands”. Her uncle, Morat threw the cigarette away and smiled, “About Princess Kaliyah?” Brenna hissed, “Even you have heard what happened” “Of course, I am Morat”, he said and chuckled, “For my wife to also have heard, then the news is fast spreading. I a

Morat was outside waiting. He wondered what Brenna was up to. He immediately started regretting why he agreed to help her in the first place.Meanwhile, in the courtroom, Brenna had started her game already.“Yes, she is pregnant and as her mother, I have given her necessary punishments”, Brenna stated.“You couldn’t even take care of the Slavcan’s prince betrothed. Do you think the Tamars will get away with it?”, Valen said casually.That statement alone sent shivers down her spine.“But you claimed you loved her and chose her out of the many princesses you could easily get”, Brenna started, “You surely won’t let her slip from your grasp”.“Yes, I was intrigued by the stories I heard about her. The warrior princess. But I won’t marry her with another man’s child growing in her. I won’t marry her with the stupid man alive either”, he said with a low tone.“I will make sure that baby dies in her womb if you still want to marry her and I will make sure I find the father of the baby. As

The king, Kenna, and Kaliyah were already seated at the dining table. The servants were already placing the dishes on the table.“Kenna, where is the queen? Is she alright?”, the king asked.Kaliyah and Kenna’s eyes met at that moment and Kaliyah flashed her a smile which made Kenna uncomfortable.“She… she is. I met her before coming downstairs. She’ll be here soon”, Kenna replied.“Good, we have to see. Since Kaliyah has decided to be a disgrace to our family and to the kingdom, it’s good that you’ve been well behaved”, the king started. Kenna’s face turned sour while Kaliyah smiled widely.“We may have to call off Kaliyah’s engagement and have you take her stead”, the king concluded. Just then, Brenna walked in.“Your Highness”, she greeted and sat down.“You didn’t join us for dinner yesterday”, he replied.Brenna smiled, “Oh yeah, I was so weak yesterday, I had to go to bed early. What were you all talking about?”, she asked to divert the attention from her.“Father was just talk

THE DRAGON'S BRIDE. LEAVING WITH THE DRAGON
The days passed quickly, with Kaliyah keeping to herself and not leaving her room to avoid further drama. She had to be careful, she didn’t know what Brenna was planning. It was already the day when the dragon said he would come to take her.She was sitting by her dresser with Rheagal styling her hair.“Do you think I should style my hair or just let it down? The dragon females rarely style their hair”, Kaliyah said thinking of all the female dragons she had met before. They were beautiful but arrogant and they looked down on humans. She wondered how her life with them would be.“Whatever you want will be fine but you have to look presentable as you will finally be meeting the dragons today”, Rheagal replied. She was nervous and scared of what may happen today. Brenna had been silent and had done nothing since Kaliyah almost had a miscarriage, it made Rheagal think she was up to something.“I’ll leave my hair down then”, Kaliyah said, “Bring me the letter I wrote yesterday”.Rheagal w
THE DRAGON'S BRIDE. BLEEDING
The following morning, the atmosphere of the palace was stained with worry and tension as news of Princess Kaliyah’s bleeding had spread in the palace. The maids and workers in the palace had already been warned to not spread the word outside the palace. Naturally, news of Kaliyah having a miscarriage was already in the air in the palace.In Kenna’s brightly decorated room, she was at the dresser while her maid was styling her hair. She was ecstatic at the news she heard. If she couldn’t get a dragon, Kaliyah would not also be given that privilege. The maid who was putting the pins suddenly stopped, “Milady, wouldn’t it be weird for you to dress up like this when such a shocking thing happened last night?”Kenna’s smile wavered a little and she turned to the maid, collected a pin from the maid’s hand and stabbed her in her arm, “Since when were you given the privilege to talk to me casually?”The maid stuttered and moved backward in fear as Kenna moved towards her. She couldn’t even c
THE DRAGON'S BRIDE. THE DRINK
Kaliyah was being attended to by Rheagal when a maid quickly rushed in. “I’m sorry Your Highness, the king and the physician are on their way here”, the maid said with her head bowed. Thankfully, Kaliyah was already dressed. “You may leave”, she dismissed the maid. “Why is the physician coming here?”, Rheagal asked no one in particular. In less than a minute, the king and the physician were already at her door. Rheagal met them at the door. “I want to see Kaliyah”, the king said with a grim expression. “Let them in”, Kaliyah’s voice was heard from inside the room. Rheagal reluctantly made space for them to enter. They entered with 2 maids carrying trays without them. “Do you want to kill your father and finish this kingdom? Why haven’t you been taking your medicine when you know you are pregnant with a dragon’s child? You should take care of yourself!”, the King said and then motioned to a maid to move forward. She was carrying a tray with a glass of the herbal drink. She was

“Please do not feel threatened by your father’s words, there is no need to bring a human here”, the empress begged Azar, following him to his room upstairs. “I have gone to her family to inform them that I would be picking her up in three days”, Azar replied when they finally arrived at his room. “You are not listening to me or do you care about the lowly human?”, the empress asked. “Please accept my decision with good faith”, Azar replied and shut the door to his room, leaving his mother outside. She turned around angrily. “What would people say of the royal family? The human can never match the strength and beauty of a dragon female!” She doubted she could stop him from bringing her so she was only going to make sure the human begs to go back to wherever she came from. She went to meet her husband, the emperor in his room. He was reading a parchment with his round-rimmed glasses when she entered. He looked up when he heard someone enter. “I want to talk to you”, she said. He

“I assume you’ve also been taking good care of her as she’s carrying my child”, Azar spoke in his low voice and this was enough to shake the room.“What are you saying, great dragon?” the king managed to say when he finally found his voice.Kenna and Brenna turned to look at Kaliyah with shocked expressions. Everyone in the room was shaken. Kaliyah appeared to not be affected.“Or is she not pregnant? You dare try to marry her off to the Slavcans when she is carrying a royal dragon?” Azar said in his usual low voice slowly.The king immediately turned to Kaliyah, “Princess Kaliyah, care to explain what he is saying?”“Kaliyah stood up and bowed, “He is the father of the child I am carrying”Kenna could not take it anymore. She stood up angrily, “Kaliyah, where on earth did you meet a dragon, and when?”Azar’s eyes remained fixed on the king, “Is she perhaps trying to call me a liar?”The king looked at Kenna worriedly, “Kenna please sit down and do not talk till you are permitted to”.
THE DRAGON'S BRIDE. TAKING THE PRINCESS
News of the dragon sighted in the Tamar kingdom was quick to spread even among neighboring kingdoms. The humans were afraid as no dragon had visited the humans in its dragon form for years now and this dragon that visited was a royal one.Azar was unaware of the uproar he had caused and quietly entered the throne room. He was silent but his presence was loud enough because even King Elliot was almost trembling. Azar met the king, the chief commander, and Morat, an adviser to the king there. He was quickly given a seat to sit down.The king started speaking, “You are highly welcome to our land. To what do we owe this unexpected visit?”, he spoke politely.“I am Azar and I want to talk in the presence of the royal family of this land”, he said in his deep and rough voice without a care in the world.The atmosphere became tense.“Excuse me highly revered, but we are here. You can talk to us”, Morat was quick to say.The king cut him off, “It’s fine, Morat. Order a soldier to bring the Qu
