“Don’t you dare to argue what I am telling you, Celestine…” King Dragon looked at the young woman who was standing in front of him. He could see the flames burning inside her eyes…flames of anger.

“You are not my king. I don’t have to submit to any words coming out from your royal mouth…” Celestine hissed. Her lips were tightly clenched. Her stare at him was so intense without any blinks a second as she gritted her teeth.

Their eyes were locked and both of them were standing with each of hands clenched.

King Dragon smirked bit that it appeared to sneer in cynical expression.

“You want to see my power right to your eyes, huh…?” He tried to grab the wrist of the woman with appearance like a noble woman.

“Don’t you dare touching me, a princess of this kingdom!”

Celestine snapped with flying off the handle to the hand of King Dragon from touching her.

King Dragon laughed. “Don’t touch me???” He paused, created a haze of silence within them. His gaze was eating piece by piece of the woman from top to down.

“I’ve kissed your lips, my dear!” He continued, his eyes kept staring at Celestine, blended from arrogance, admiration and a desire to defeat coming from those dark eyes.

Celestine puffed harshly after hearing his words. She threw her face, turned down her sight on the ground.

Gently, she moved her hand. Wiping her lips with backhand…she remembered the man who seemed much older than her kissed her so passionately.

A few days ago…when her uncle, King Othello invited him to have a dinner in the kingdom.

After the dinner was over…King Dragon pushed her to the wall in their walking journey to the castle…within the darkness his lips squeezed hers…something that she never experienced before…even with Jacques, her boyfriend, a young nobleman from another kingdom.

It was thrilling moment…monstrous but so pounding single beat of her heart. Her breath was coming out struggling from her mouth after what he had done to her lips.

King Othello was in charge due to King Victor, her father, absent during his illness.

She felt she was trapped by her uncle. Attending the dinner with one main purpose, introducing her, as the only daughter of the king to a man who much older than her to become her only suitor.

King Dragon asked her to dance although she refused him at that night. Before the dinner time started…

She nodded her head, was pushed to agree taking the man’s hand, let him put his hand on her waist under the sight of King Othello and his wife.

She should obey her step uncle and his wife. She felt their eyes were moving together with the sways of dance she made with King Dragon.

Then, in the middle of dinner, they allowed King Dragon having a talk only with her.

King Dragon poured her a glass of wine that she was sure it was poisoned. He said it was to celebrate for whatever she didn’t care to find it out further those affairs.

Even, her uncle pretended not to see it by leaving her alone with King Dragon while they were moving into another room to talk about some affairs from each kingdom.

She was dizzy after drinking the wine King Dragon gave to her and her uncle asked King Dragon to take her into the castle. With one purpose again…to give that arrogant man kissing her while she almost fainted.

“I will come to you tonight, I have a musical parade, a tribute your uncle made to celebrate my music…” King Dragon said with his emphasized tone.

“You should be honored if I ask you and take you with me there!” He continued speaking with his cold voice, turned around and walked away from the garden where they were arranged to meet and talk again.

Celestine harshly exhaled. Pulling up her dress, walking in a rush into the castle.

********

“I don’t want to attend that event!” Celestine threw a bouquet of roses with a gift from King Dragon to her bed.

Her eyes stared at Ersa, her loyal attendant.

“But King Othello ordered you, Princess Celestine!”

Celestine bumped herself on the bed after throwing all the gifts to the floor.

“He is not my king…I need to see my father!” She mumbled.

Ersa sighed. “You know what King Othello ordered to us. King Victor can’t be disturbed to unnoticeable period of time.”

Celestine rose and walked to the door.

“Where are you going, Princess Celestine?” Ersa stopped picking up the gifts scattered on the floor.

Celestine sighed and turned around. “You know where you should find me, Ersa!” she closed the door behind and pulled up her dress, running along the corridor. She stepped down the stairs in quick pace, making some guards didn’t have any chances to stop her.

She went to the stable. As she whistled, a black horse was running and coming out from the stable, asking her to ride him.

Celestine smiled, sat on the horse saddle as she tapped on the horse neck.

“Storm let’s go!” she asked him to run as fast as the storm did.

Abruptly as he running, leaving the dusts were blown and the fallen leaves were whirled.

One thing came across Celestine’s mind, she should run away as fast as she could from the castle before King Dragon sent some men.

They were winding on like the storm.

    Storm stopped running as they reached the border between the Sapphire Island Kingdom and the Wallachian kingdom. He marched along the path under the shady big trees to a hidden mansion among the woods. Celestine got down and walked along with the horse next to her, standing in the front of wall gate with a small hole to peek inside or outside. The mansion was captured as an abandoned castle, sturdy building with rambled plants on its wall. It was hidden among the high shady trees, appearing like a pearl inside its muddy shell. A man with ragged clothes was standing in the front of gate after Celestine knocked the gate three knocks with pause. “Who are you?” He peeked out. Celestine beamed at him. “The shadow from the east coming out, the haze of silence will be disappeared behind…Smoky mountains have their rules as well as the stormy hearts…” she peeked inside. Telling him those magic words, turning around to see whether there was or not someone following her. She

    The Voice of Nature…it was the first song going to play. It began with sounding the song of birds from the violins and the flutes. The artificial fountain delivered bubbling water and all the attendants were nailed on their seat. Their soul began to be captured into an imaginary world. Airing the room, the imaginations were drawn to small river downing the creek with the splashing water from bathing birds. Waiting for the next… The playing sound of the harps then began to take another breathtaking session. It came like the whispers from the garden of angels. Taking all the breaths from the audiences inside the kingdom’s hall. King Dragon rose to get applauses as his song finished to play. He sighed after faking a wide prideful smile. His eyes were scattering the room, looking for a woman’s figure in a red dress he bought. He returned to his seat next to the hosted King and his Queen, rested his hand on the chin. They were taking seats on the highest row among the o

    “See you next, my love…” Jacques swathed Celestine with his warmth. His soft smile drained the flame inside Celestine to not touch his lips with her gentle stares. Otherwise, she held that desire, sensing every ponder of her heart but she bit her lips. The harbor breezes blew his hair, he held the hat back as the wind bustling. Celestine smiled and gripped the young man’s fingers as if there was no much time left to spend with him, racing the horse ridings, catching some butterflies around the suburbs, or laughing together for silliness and crazy stupid stories or jokes, listening to him playing a flute or a guitar for her and let her admiring the beauty he possessed with some poems she wrote to dedicate for him. Her heart still yearned for him to stay. She sighed.

    It was about to reach dusk. Celestine got down from Storm, the horse, and skulked to the gate of Moustache's mansion. She knocked the gate three times with a pause. She peeked into the hole. Storm stood behind her and he bent his head down to follow Celestine. She saw a man in black ragged suits and wearing a ragged hat in the front yard, taking care of the garden. ‘He’s Moustache in disguise.’ She cleared her throat to catch the man’s attention. The man gazed at the gate. "The Shadow from the East is surrounded by some clouds, the tornado will come probably." She paused, taking a long breath. "Afraid of being caught by the dinosaur king." A pair of eyes appeared and peeked in the hole. "What??? Is he just ancient or about to extinct?" It was Moustache. He asked those men, guarding and helping him to open the gate and took the horse to the stable. "It wasn't enraptured prose as the password." Moustache complained as both of them walked to the mansion. He sigh

    Three hours before the dinner invitation in the palace… “Are you sure, Princess Celestine? It will change your skin tone,” she paused and examined the bottle potion in her hand, “Becoming freaking blue…” she turned her sight back to Celestine. They were inside the dressing room and Ersa prepared the dress with its accessories, Celestine was quite flapping for the dinner moment. She squinted her eyes as Celestine studied the notes from Moustache on a table. Celestine stopped reading and turned her head at Ersa. “That’s the point.” She said and nodded as a sign of agreement at the time Ersa showed her a red dress. Ersa sighed, bringing it to Celestine. “Hope you’ll be fine then.” She saw Celestine drinking the potion all. The hall was crowded with the king’s guests. The dinner time would be held and left for counted time. King Victor wasn’t there, the guests were the noble family members from the kingdom, the Wallachian kingdom where King Othello ruled and the aristo

    Celestine was chuckling, bumping herself with the face hit on the bed. Ersa was standing by the bed, looking at her, she put the princess’s shoes off. Celestine’s body was shaking because she kept laughing. Ersa waited for her to flip over so she could change the dress that princess was wearing as she draped a night dress on her arm. Celestine put off the diadem with tiny diamonds in both sides from her forehead and handed it to Ersa as she got up, taking a seat by the bed. “If you see King Dragon’s expression that time, he looked particularly good to be fooled.” Celestine stopped chuckling. She jiggled her head as she didn’t believe with she saw from a strong man and he was also known as a king with fiercely controlling power among the empire. Ersa lifted one of her eyebrows. “But you must be careful Princess Celestine, he isn’t stupid.” She started undressing Celestine and changed the princess’s dress into a sheer satin made night dress for taking a rest. She gasped

    It was a few moments after the announcement of his engagement was cancelled due to prior unexpected events. King Dragon sniffed, sneezing many times after a cat had walked passing him. His steps were rushing to reach the spot where he would be staying during his visit in the Sapphire Island Kingdom. ‘Damn, why my acute allergies come back again? Was it because of Celestine’s condition? What illness does she carry? Was it infectious? How come did she change to become blue like that? So scary…yes, as a lady, she seemed so scary in that look.’ King Dragon wiped his nose that it started running. He turned around and stopped walking. He saw another black and white small animal was sneaking from the plants growing inside the palace’s garden. He tried to stay away but it seemed the cat was running to escape from that other cat. He nearly kicked the other cat away, separated them from getting to fight. “No, don’t do it, my king. We are going to have a disaster. It’ll ru

In other side of the Sapphire Island Kingdom, inside the most expensive and luxurious accommodating place for some important guests taking rest, King Dragon couldn’t sleep at all. In his balcony, he was enjoying his glass of wine and his mind was exploring the reason. ‘That tiny cat had me really with her foolish game. Did she try to fool me? For what? Is it because of that young man? Or is it because she wanted to make a fun at me since she knew that I have desires, temptation for her?’ He sipped his wine and then, shaking the glass. ‘Jacques. A talented young boy in music…I saw him was kissing her forehead at the harbor.’ ‘She is so cute, rebellious and challenge me to defeat her and taste her after that, then throwing her like a piece of meat to the other wolves. I should be the first one to taste her body.’ ‘What made her so different from any

So, we can survive from starvation.”She paused, “We have living stocks. How if we breed them, then sell their products to the market? But, it will take time to do it…” she turned up her face.Valentino sighed. “You should try to negotiate.”She shrugged. “I think I should go there today…” she looked up to Madam Heather. “Start from now, please produce those diaries and not for our own consumption but we release them to the market…”Heather nodded. “I think we can do it.”Valentino nodded and beamed a smug. “Good point to start.”Celestine rose from her seat and went down to the room to get some pieces of paper with

He wiped off his eyes as he yawned.“Where am I?” He revolved his eyes around the room before turning to Celestine. He found her was standing by the window, putting her big smile on the lips and leaning on her uplifting arms towards the window’s sills.She was taking a long inhale and closed her two eyes. She turned around and looked at him. “In my bedroom.”Jacques hauled his eyebrows. “Your bedroom?” he paused, looked deeply confused, his forehead was curled up and his squeezed eyes looked around.Celestine nodded. “How?

    Celestine stepped forward and she sheathed her swords. Some creaking sounds as if something was walking on some scattered dried twigs and branches on the ground. She kept waiting for something to come approach. It held tension, she felt her blood streaming faster in her vessels, her heartbeats thudded so faster than they were before. She bit her lips and gripped her sword tightly. A shadow of a man sneaked out from the hedges in front of her. Celestine gasped. She kept waiting. “You again?!” she hissed as a young man came out behind the hedges. His face was quite familiar…and his unfamiliar scent too. Valentino sneered and brushed off the prickets of bushes. “Good evening…” he tried to be nice with a greeting smirk. He stood in front of her eyes. He looked around and found out some crumbles and apple remains on the ground. “Any food?” He curled up his lip. He stared at her with his gloomy begging eyes.
