It was buzzing and ceremonial all over the city as the first full moon first of the year annual festival is coming up, foreigners are seen coming in while indigenes were preparing for the festival, the first full moon festival is one of the most celebrated festival in the kingdom because dragons get the chance to meet their beloved and confessed their love, under the full moon there's no pretense because the moon will trigger the love within and make you to be sincere at that particular moment, so dragons preferred to confess their feeling at that particular day, young dragon girls and boys who haven't gotten a beloved yet always listened eagerly when their parents explained the importance of the festival, most boys would have already prepared and memorized their love essay before the full moon, it was the same particular day some decades ago when the dragon king imperial mother died, since then he was always grumpy and moody on that particular day, it just two days to the festival Lady Salsa's servants were decorating and preparing for the festival, when an imperial guard came to deliver the king's report
"My lady" the guard bowed in greetings
"Ease" Lady Salsa said to the guard as she completely ignored him
" Honored Lady Salsa, the king seeks your presence, please prepare to enter the King's chamber" the guard reported and left immediately...
When the guard left Lady Salsa called kariya to dress her up to enter the palace, kariya was dressing her hair then chatting happily with her Lady
"My lady!! This is a rare chance for you to prove your worth to the king" kariya said smiling and cheering Lady Salsa
" I don't want to, that big ice doesn't have feelings" Lady Salsa replied nonchalantly as she stared into the mirror while kariya tends to her hair
"My lady!! You have to, for the imperial hatchlings " Kariya couldn't help but reminded her
Lady Salsa signed heavily " I really do have to because of my babies" let's go!
When they got to the king's palace, there was no preparation for the festival at all, No one would even think something big is coming up in the country, Lady Salsa was bewildered and surprised as she saw the bareness of the palace....
"Lady Salsa arrives!! The doorman announced
"Let her in" Kunshiya replied dropping the state document reviews he was reading, the Lady before him was so beautiful and elegantly he couldn't believe this was the same girl he saw a years ago, don't tell me this was the same girl I rescued after conquering her entire country? He was still in dazed when Lady Salsa bowed before him,
" ease" he said and stretched his hands forward but Lady Salsa was too scared to accept his grace as she took a step backward, kunshiya kun just smiled and got up to embrace her,
Immediately the servants saw this, they bowed their heads and find their way out, Lady Salsa watched as Kariya left her with this horrible man!! That snitch!! , she doesn't want to be with the man that killed all her family!! and king! even if she's the mother of his hatchlings, she still hates him to the core! This gruesome being!, he doesn't have any mercy! He only watched when his Queen ordered me to be put into prison, he only watched when Shadia died,
"What are you thinking of Salsa" kunshiya kun asked as he flashed her one of his killer half smirk,
" me!.. uhn,? Not.. things" Lady Salsa was surprised when he called her given name, he's actually handsome, this devil in Dragon skin is actually handsome , she thought
"Get rid of your shyness, we already have some eggs together " kunshiya kun said when he saw her shy stricken face
" me! Shy! I'm not shy!" Lady Salsa said bluffing, but her tomato ear was the full evidence of her shyness
"You are serving me tonight, better get used to me touching you"
Kunshiya kun laughed then her in the room
"I'm not serving you!!!! Lady Salsa threw back at him but kunshiya just kept on laughing....
When Kunshiya Kun came back later in the night, Lady Salsa was already fast asleep on the couch, He picked her up and laid her on the bed, moonlight shone brightly on her jade like face, her brows and lashes were so beautiful, he couldn't help but traced it with his finger, what a pity she would have to go for their hatchlings to come to the world, will the eggs share resemblance with her? Kunshiya kun thought, when he was growing up his Queen mother always narrates how his father laid down his life for him as his progenitor, that was why he could be as powerful as he is, and it wasn't only because of that, it was also because his father couldn't watch his beloved Queen die before him, so he volunteered to be the progenitor, but him Kunshiya kun will never love any woman to that extreme, he lacked father's role in his life, he will never allow his hatchlings to go through that same torment, from today onward he will give Salsa anything he wants, and shower her with any gifts u
After so much thoughts Queen Tekiya ordered her best men to destroy the two eggs, the astronomer doesn't clarify which one exactly will be the kukulkan, so they have to take precautions against the two, when the ordered assassins got to the incubator, they saw one egg close to the lake while the other egg was buried deep under the ground, their first thought was to destroy the one under the ground first them go destroy the second one, immediately they brought out the one deep under the ground, the chief assassinator saw the uniqueness and said this must really be the kukulkan, for it was green in color and it's aura was so powerful, the only way to destroy this kind of eggs is to put it in a stream or a lake, Yes, a lake is right here !! The chief assassinator then ordered his men to pick up the unsheathed egg and drop it into the lake with the other egg, immediately the green egg touched the lake, it released a very dreadful and powerful aura that blew all the
..What!!!! Who dare!!" Kunshiya kun roared, who dare hurt my eggs!! Kunshiya kun changed to his dragon form and flew to the cave but what was left of the cave was mere ashes, he changed back and went to the cave but it was ruined and disfigured, he saw his chief steward's body flowing down the ice lake, but what was in his mind at the moment was his beloved hatchling, then he saw the dragon egg, very black in-color and void of all soul.... wasn't this the same egg he heated yesterday? Wasn't this the same egg that looked so gigantic and beautiful yesterday, he cried woefully as he moved closer to the black egg , his hands stroked the eggs and he could sense it soul leaving the egg, his hatchling is really dead... he doesn't mind! He would have welcome it and loved it more than anything, he doesn't care if it was the future kukulkan, it was his hatchling for crying out loud!! Anyone who did this will not go scot free!! He vowed"Send
It's been two days after the death of one of the royal hatchlings, the relationship between The dragon king and lady Salsa became so strained and void, the lady lost all coloring and always look defeated, she stopped doing all her daily routine, she only sleeps and and cry... Tekiya was bewildered, she doesn't know how to console her lady."My lady, don't cry anymore, your health matters" kariya said the hundredth time but Lady Salsa only wailed softly into the now mucus ridden pillow.."My lady, let me get you a new pillow" kariya said as she eyed the pillow her lady had been clinging on since morning, when she didn't receive any complaint from Lady Salsa, she made her exit from the bedroom, on getting to the pavilion, she met the dragon king with his entourages coming in."Your Majesty" she bowed in greetings"How's your mistress?, is she still crying""Reporting to your majesty, Lady Salsa has been bedridden for the past two days, she neit
.."Tell the general to bring him to me" Kunshiya kun fumed angrily. At his order, the message was passed down to the general immediately, the general only thought he was suspicion because of his newly scarred cheeks and dirty cloth, the suspect haven't acknowledged whether he's guilty or not and there's no evidence to prove it, he can only respect his King's order.Unknowingly to the general, the suspect companions had found out that he has been taken and they've reported it to their instigator, and Queen Tekiya already gave an order to make sure he died tight lipped, on the general way to the palace, the general was attacked and waylaid by so many assassins as they tried to fight him off and kidnap the suspect, on the battle field in their dragon form, they threw fire and and slayed one another with claws and teeth, the general's dragon was one of the best dragon and he easily fought of many assassins on his own, The general identity took them by surprise as
Several days after the assassination, the tension in the palace seized and everyone were able to breath deeply, but Lady Salsa has became a shadow of herself. She only smile or look alive whenever she saw or touched the silver egg, her joy and existence only circled on the egg, which made Kunshiya kun happy and sad at the same time, had he really started falling for her? Or was it sympathy? The moon was high in the sky, while darkness fell upon the whole kingdom, the king was sleeping when he had a strange dream, he saw a very beautiful dragon, blue eyed like him, beaming and smiling up at him, as they rode side by side in the sky. "Father!" The blue eyed dragon mind linked. "Father" it called out again as it flew higher and in the sky. When he woke up the next morning, kunshiya kun was in a great mood for he had never felt that kind of protective and loving feeling ever, his servants sensed his mood and was happy that the dragon king is finally normal, well
It wasn't long when the egg was brought that Lady Salsa arrived with her maid kariya, the king was heating the egg as Lady salsa moved closer to him, the heat was different from hers, what did she expect! She was just some common dragon and her eggs were imperial eggs, she wouldn't have been able to protect them and made them into a great dragon like their father.. but wasn't it still in the same palace governed by their father that one of them were killed! A very happy Salsa brought herself to tears again "Hush, Salsa stop crying" kunshiya kun scolded, " I didn't bring you here to cry" But Lady Salsa only stayed beside the egg and cried louder, her heart ache of so many torments, she missed shadia and her green egg! She missed her family, she missed her country... "kariya escort your lady back to her palace, if she's only gonna be crying" kunshiya kun retorted angrily "Salsa will you calm! This doesn't affects only you! They are mine too!! He
"Let her in" Immediately the command was given the doorman waved to the guards and kariya entered the king's room, kunshiya kun half laid on his bed as kariya reported to him " My king, Since yesterday lady Salsa refused to eat or drink anything" she said panicky, " I'm afraid if this went on, it might be harmful to her". "That woman is too stubborn, say! What do you think I should do" kunshiya kun said out of pity "her health is vital to me" Kariya was dumbfounded when she heard this statement, was her Lady really this important to the king! Glory be to Buddha and the moon Goddess, the king finally felt her Lady sincere heart! The silly maid was beaming as she told the king all what her Lady likes and dislikes "She likes meeting new people, touring unknown land, she likes hibiscus flowers" kariya kept of rambling forgetting she was in the present of her king. " okay okay, you can leave now" Kunshiya kun countered, " Thank you
The expression on the prince's face was so worried and funny that Akira couldn't help but start laughing out loud.Wasn't she just playing with me? Why is he acting so damn serious?But Prince Biha didn't find it funny at all, immediately she started laughing, he thought she was making of him and he instantly stood up from the cushion and started leaving.Instantly alarmed, Akira let out, “are you going back now?”“Should I stay here and watch you make fun of me?” Prince Biha replied in a cold voice.“I, but-, ” Akira stuttered,
Immediately they get to the resting-room, Akira could see the northern prince glancing around impatiently with a provoked face. She couldn't help but do a back fleet in her mind.Serves him right for everything he had done to her, just wait and see more.“You must have been waiting for me, ” Akira let out, as she graciously announced her entrance, she was donning a magenta red silk gown that appreciated her growing feminine body. But because she hadn't fully grown most of her shapes were not filled out. Nevertheless, she still looked stunning in the night gown and Prince Biba couldn't help but gawk at her. Forgetting that he had been waiting for 30 minutes alone on the drawing-room.“You made sure of that, ” Prince Biha replied
“The princess asked me to join her for dinner? I thought lady Kariya said she would ask someone the food here?” Prince Biha replied sensing a foul play. But the maid was just a maid and she had to follow orders.“I don’t know about that but I am sent here to inform and escort you to the princess’s courtyard.” The maid replied with a curt bow.“Okay, just wait for a minute, I will be back,” Prince Biha replied in a cold voice, but he was still so handsome. The maid looked at his retreating back and couldn't help but use her fingers to fan herself.Did the temperature become hotter or was it her face that grew hot?Why is the northern Prince
“I just wanted to make him know that he’s in my palace,” Akira replied evenly. She can’t tell Kariya too that the Prince called her a maid when he first met her. If she did, she would have to explain so many things with it. She doesn’t feel like taking too much. “Have you eaten, Princess?” Kariya asked as she looked at the willful girl that she painstakingly raised. “Of Course I’ve eaten, you don’t know how hungry I was. That horrible Prince didn’t even allow me to eat before we started coming to the palace,” Akita blurted out as she frowned her beautiful face. At the sound of Akira’s voice, Kariya’s brows furrowed deeper. That Pri
Akira, who didn't know that her opposition already had a hidden trump card, was happily leading Biha into her palace; she was intentionally showing him how big and magnificent her palace was.Didn't he say that she was a maid earlier?He better understood that she wasn't not a maid. She is the only child of Kunshiya Kun!Kariya, who already heard that Akira had come back, was already rushing towards the front gate to meet up with her. She ran so much that she almost tripped.“Princess!” Kariya shouted, when she saw Akira coming in with Eunuch Goa.“Kariya!” Akira screamed too and quickly forgot about showing the pri
“Absolutely not, You are a female and the prince is a male. Don't you care about your reputation.” Queen Tekiya countered as she rebuked Akira.“I’m only a female in my human form, as a dragon I don't have a gender. So I don't see why he can't stay with me.” Akira answered back.Why is the Queen so against prince Biha stating in her palace?She still had to use something as nonexistence as gender as an excuse, is she that dumb?Akira eyed the Queen as she thought.“Why did you want the northen prince to stay in your palace, Akira?” Kunshiya Kun asked because even though there the gender separation
“Royal dragon father, as I've said before general Kuru doesn't have any fault in this. I was the one that was reckless and missed my way, please pardon him, ” Akira stated with her head on the marble palace floor.When Kuru finally got over his shock, he immediately fell on his knees and bowed deeply on the ground, “The princess getting missing is my fault, please punish me, ” He accepted.The Princess's actions were what made him felt so grateful, the princess pleading and kneeling on his behalf was enough for him. No matter how the dragon king wants to punish him, he will play accept the punishment.Prince Biha who was looking at the scene was already getting bored about it all. Why are they all falling to their knees as if they were they sticks?
Kunshiya Kun already saw the little girl in mask when she came in with the northern prince but he ignored her, even though he had felt a strange affection for her.He didn't even suspected that the girl could be his own daughter whom he had been searching for since three days ago.Until the little girl removed the mask on her face.“Akira?” Kunshiya Kun had to call out slowly to be sure that the little girl was really his daughter.“Royal dragon father,” Akira replied as tears gathered in her eyes.Immediately Kunshiya Kun heard her melodious familiar voice, he quickly signaled for her to come over.
“Yes, I think he has but I don't think she's as old as that, ” the other guard replied to his colleague.“Why is she putting on a mask though?” He asked again.When Akira saw that they were observing her, she quickly dropped the curtain and hid inside the carriage.Ohygoddess, That was sudden.Thank goddess they are finally inside the palace.She will soon see her royal.dragon father.It was just three days but Akira felt like she had left the palace for three years.A
