They say I killed my father. They say I ordered my maid, my dearest friend, to poison him. They say she confessed before taking her own life. Lies. The real murderer stands before me, weaving her web of deception and has the entire Royal court in her grasp. Queen Andessa, my wicked stepmother. My father’s killer. She has stripped me of my title, my crown, my very birthright, and has offered me up as a tribute to the Dragon King of Drakarith. A mercy punishment, she calls it. But I am not broken. She thinks she has won. That I will succumb to defeat and forget who I am. But she's wrong. I am Dahlia Rhadaya Balerion, the rightful Queen of Velmira. And I will return to reclaim what is mine and rip out Velmira's corruption by its roots. Starting with Andessa's rotten fertilized eggs. My callous step-siblings. Velmira is my home, my kingdom, and I will not let it rot under the rule of vipers. But reclaiming what is mine will not be easy, especially trying to achieve that from the dragon lands of Drakarith, under the watchful vigilance of Azraelyrs, a dragon king I have heard rumors about his cold-heartedness and rules with an iron fist. To survive, I must play the game of seduction and manipulation against my enemies. To win, I must be sharper, stronger, and more ruthless than I have never been before in my life. Let the games begin.

THE TRIBUTE QUEEN OF THE DRAGON KING 5. Wedding Gift.
~DAHLIA~The dungeons of Drakarith are unlike any prison I have ever seen or imagined.There are no rusted bars, no damp stone dripping with the stench of decay.Instead, the stone walls have molten lava flowing through the black cracks. The heat here is unbearable, forcing sweat to spill out everywhere on my body.Even the very breath I take is hot and it burns.But the worst part isn’t just the fire.It’s the silence. A kind of silence that makes me fear and wonder if I am the only living soul here.What I am beginning to understand in this place is that just because I was brought here as a Queen Tribute, doesn't mean things will be easy for me.Right now, I am seated in one of the cells, faraway from the walls.The guards chained my wrists, and the metal cuffs are searingly hot against my skin. The moment those cuffs were locked into place, I felt a strange sensation that instantly paralyzed my body with weakness.I can still feel the weak sensation. Something from these cuffs is s

~DAHLIA~I will survive this kingdom.No matter what happens next, I will not be a slave.Being a human princess already puts me at the bottom of the survival chain here, but I am this man's Queen Tribute.And I plan to use so much of that to my advantage.One of the Drakarithian soldiers opens my cage and brings me down. The ground burns into the soles of my bare feet.It hurts.As the soldier drags me forward, I refuse to stumble.Not now in front of Azraelyrs.The Dragon King stands at the top of the grand staircase. His eyes sweep over my form, eyes shining like an inferno of burning gold. Even from a distance, I can feel the intensity of the authority he carries. The brutal force of his raw power rolling off him in waves.He is taller than I expected to see like the rumors said. A heavy fur-lined cloak drapes over his broad shoulders, giving him an air of savage royalty. The crown upon his head is a dark, jagged metal that looks like metal dragon claws curled around his temples.

~DAHLIA~The journey to Drakarith is long. Brutal. And without rest.But I am not going to die that easily.I didn't stay alive all these years just to simply watch Andessa and her rotten fertilized eggs completely pollute everything that my father worked so hard for.I am not going to die.Sitting shackled inside the steel cage transporting me to Drakarith, I try to make more sense of my surroundings with the help of the morning dawn now rising.The soldiers accompanying me on this exiled journey are not Velmirian.They are Drakarithian soldiers.Andessa probably had them on standby back in Velmira to whisk me away as fast as she could.Velmira has long since vanished beyond huge mountain cliffs, swallowed by thick white mist and an ancient wall of magic wards and shards that was built many centuries ago by the ancestral Dragon Kings of Drakarith.The wall of dragon magic now grants limited access to our human kingdom of Velmira after our alliance with them was forged.An alliance I

~DAHLIA~The throne room is quiet. Too deadly quiet this night despite being filled with the pretentious faces and rotten, potbellied bodies of my father's nobles and esteemed members of his Royal council. Not a single soul among them dares to speak against Andessa.Their lying faces are covered with false grief barely concealing their hunger for power.My father, the King of Velmira, is dead.He is… dead.I am strong, but I don't think I am ready yet to live in this world without him.He is the only family I have. He's all I have!And now, he is gone.All because of the monster who is now circling near his throne and trailing her gloved fingers along the golden armrests of my father's throne which is now empty. Unoccupied.My father's throne. My birthright.Behind the monster, my step-siblings flank her on both sides like hungry vultures.Alistair, her eldest manwhore with one functional eye, thanks to me.And Cressida, who is just as monstrous like her mother. Worse even.The both

~DAHLIA~The scent of ‘Khóri’, the sacred burning incense, is so thick and everywhere in the air of the Velmirian Palace.So thick with myrrh and something else that smells like a bad mixture of ashes and wild herbs.It wraps around me like a funeral shroud. Like a stubborn hand gripping my throat.Outside these palace walls, the rest of the kingdom of Velmira sleeps beneath a blood red moon.But sleep is the last sensible thought on my mind right now.My name is Dahlia Rhadaya Balerion. The crown princess of Velmira.And tonight, standing alone outside at the threshold of my father’s chambers, fear is curling inside my stomach like a wicked viper biting into my guts with poisoned fangs.Something is wrong. Who am I kidding? Something is always wrong in this stupid palace.The fear twists harder as I approach the two hefty guards stationed at the giant doors leading into my father's chambers.On seeing me, the men shift uneasily on their posts.Snakes.These are men who once swore the
