When The Dragon Girl Fell In Love

Lady Salsa was cradling her eggs when the imperial guards came with heavy armory and entourages, she immediately changed to her human form and clothed herself, as she came out of the hay she kept her eggs, she noticed that her two handmaidens were busy chatting happily with each other. " Kariya, tell me why are there so many guards today in our little mansion," lady Salsa asked the eldest handmaiden " My lady, I heard from the servants that the Dragon king ordered your entrance to the imperial palace" Kariya replied beaming with a smile.

What!!!! " no no nooooo, I won't go, I won't go, the witch will kill my hatchlings" lady Salsa retorted, tears started streaming down her face as she recollects the dreadful rumors she heard about Queen Tekiya No! No! "Nobody can make me go there, no one can snatch my hatchlings from me" Lady Salsa immediately ran to where she kept her eggs but before she got there, the imperial guards already seized the eggs and guided them heavily with soldiers Lady Salsa roared when she saw that her eggs had been kidnapped, her dragon form immediately took over her human form The soldiers were startled as they've never seen a very beautiful dragon, Even Queen Tekiya dragon found ain't as beautiful as the white dragon with green eyes before them, Lady Salsa took the opportunity and release her inner qi and cough out a big flame, the soldiers immediately changed to their Dragon form to withstand the blow, After so many attempts Lady Salsa was defeated because she previously used her inner qi to heat her eggs... Her human form took place as she sat down defeated on the hay. "My hatchlings, give them back you scum!! She cried Give them back!!!! " My lady, Dragon king ordered us to escort you and the royal hatchlings to the imperial palace, please don't make it hard on us anymore," the chief guard said signaling to one of the guards to assist her up " Get your hands of me, you little scrum" Lady Salsa clawed at him at the side guard attempting to help her up The chief guard then signal for him to step back when he noticed that her two handmaidens are near, "My lady, we will go back to the palace today with or without you, The royal hatchlings needs to be monitored by the Dragon King," the chief guard said indifferently "My lady let's go with them, You can't leave the hatchlings with them" Kariya pleaded with Lady Salsa " pack my belongings" Lady Salsa ordered as she sneered at the chief guard " yes My lady" All the soldiers changed back to their Dragon form and headed back to the Imperial Palace with Lady Salsa at their back making sure no harm befalls her eggs. The Dragon palace was massive with the beautiful landscape of ancient designs, the magnetic aura hasn't dimmed a little even as decades washed over it, Lady Salsa was astonished and breath was stolen of how big it was... It wasn't long when they all arrived at the south palace where the king received visitors, Queen Tekiya and kunshiya Kun sat majestically on the throne when the imperial guards led Lady Salsa and her eggs in... "Long live, My King and My Queen" they all bowed down in greetings " ease" Kunshiya commanded gently at the audience, the imperial guards then signaled for the left guard to bring forth the eggs.. the eggs were magnificent, round, and beautiful... Kunshiya stared at them in awe "My hatchlings!! Quickly bring them to me" he ordered thunderously with happiness shown in his fine jade face... his hands brushed over them lightly as he inspected the eggs with keen eyes " they are beautiful!! my hatchlings"! Kunshiya marveled after inspecting the two eggs "My order, Lady Salsa is to conferred the title "Dragon Lady" and the second rank lady, arrange her to live at the west palace with her hatchlings" Kunshiya edict as the king's Eunuch quickly commands servants to prepare the order... Queen Tekiya was utterly surprised and angered at how kunshiya Kun could simply just give the second-ranked noble title to the outside slut, The second rank lady was just a rank away from her title, who did that slut think she is? Because she laid some imperial eggs means she can climb up ranks? What imperial eggs? What hatchlings? Since they are in this imperial palace, this Queen will make sure they didn't witness the first sun .. Queen Tekiya vowed inwardly as she stared at the eggs in Kunshiya Kun's hands Kariya tugged Lady Salsa softy on her sleeves to remind her to accept the imperial decree, the slight tug brought Lady Salsa back from her astonishment as she quickly knelt and give her thanks " humble Lady Salsa accept Dragon king grace, may you live thousand years" Kunshiya smiled as he noticed how clumsy her greeting was but took no offense to it as he knew she's not from this country nor adhere to their ways but Queen Tekiya took the opportunity to oppose and ridicule Lady Salsa "Dragon Lady Salsa, it can't be that you are an uncultured dragon from nowhere because that's the only explanation to this awkward acceptance you just presented," She said, her voice laced with mockery " Forgive me, My Queen, This humble lady is not from this country, that's why I didn't know of the ways of greetings and acceptance " " you even dare talk back to you Queen!!" Queen Tekiya roared, servants take her down she ordered as numerous servants rushed to Lady Salsa's sides and forced her to kneel, Kunshiya Kun wanted to interfere but he knew if he showed Queen Tekiya his affection for Lady Salsa that will only give Tekiya more reasons to exploit and manipulate Lady Sals and her hatchlings, though he doesn't care much of the foreign servant she just gave him eggs and the imperial hatchlings are more important than her safety..... so he let the servants dragged her to the prison, later he will command her to be released but for now she needs to get used to the palace rules and etiquette as fast as possible.

Queen Tekiya was happy when she saw no reactions from Kunshiya Kun, which only means he doesn't care for that slut, once the slut is out of the way, she will deal with her eggs.

The prison was full of dragon scales and teeth, it was a very dim and brooding room, Lady Salsa two handmaidens inspected the prison they were thrown into and felt wronged in their mind, their displeasure was written brightly on their face " Kariya, Shadia!, you don't have to feel wronged for this Lady" Queen Tekiya was just emphasizing her right and teaching me the right cause" Lady Salsa said to the two young girls beside her " but my lady ain't she too cruel? This is just your first day of arrival, we haven't even settled in" Shadia said full of contempt "Keep your voice down, don't forget the walls have ears" Kariya scowled her "But ..but" she pouted angrily " it's okay Shadia, we will soon be out" Lady Salsa said to them to ease their wronged and fret heart My eggs! Will Queen Tekiya harm them, lady Salsa knew she ain't much of importance to Kunshiya Kun and he wouldn't side her nor make things better for her but she knew that her eggs are the only hope for him to be a father, will he allow His Queen to kill them? Her safety might not be important but she has to leave this dark place as soon as possible, even if Kunshiya Kun wants to protect her eggs he might not be around always, there are so many state affairs and turbulent issues concerning the country, he wouldn't have enough time to protect her hatchlings. Lady Salsa was deep in thought when the two handmaidens were making sleeping arrangements with the few blankets and bedspread available in the so-called prison, she eyed the surroundings and sighed deeply, she have to think of ways to leave here, her eggs her more important than her life or her prestige, she won't let Queen Tekiya have her ways with them. Lady Salsa was almost asleep when an imperial guard brought their dinner it was a fish soup some buns, the imperial guards threw the food recklessly at them as the handmaiden quickly try their best to safeguard their dinner, " you sly pig! Do you know who my lady is? She is the future mother of the dragon babies" Shadia retorted to the incautious guard, Paaaa The cheeks was met with a slap from Kariya and she eyed her meaningful then Shadia bowed her head and kept her thoughts to herself, the guard only laughed and still kicked her more then left the prison " Do you know your wrongs" Lady Salsa said immediately the guard was out of earshot. " Yes my lady , I know my wrong" "Do you? Then tell me" she countered " I shouldn't have said those words earlier" she said with unshed tears building up in her eyes "Remember don't count your eggs before they are hatched, we don't know the future situation, we can't bring more troubles to ourselves with our words or actions" we have to do everything cautiously " Lady Salsa explained to the two girls "I am sorry for bringing troubles to My lady please forgive me this once" Shadia bowed and pleaded "It's okay, let's eat " Lady Salsa said, then kariya brought the food closer to them then served her Lady, Shadia couldn't hold her hunger as she jumped to pick a bun, Lady Salsa just smiled at her recklessness Such a silly child, foodie, Lady Salsa smirked which made Kariya laughed happily " Shadia control your covetousness, My lady haven't even taken a bit" she said to the silly child that already down her buns "Yummy!! " was the only word Shadia was able to utter as her mouth was still full of bun.. Lady salsa was about to take a bit when Shadia started holding her stomach and complaining of stomach aches "My tummy, my tummy!! She groaned with pain, Kariya immediately took out her silver needle to test the bun and the soup but the bun was poisoned while the soup wasn't, "My Lady I failed you, I should have tested the food when they brought it" Kariya said to Lady Salsa " my tum...m...yyy" Shadia groaned and rolled in severe pain " quick call the guards, they have to safe her!! Guards!!! Guards!!!!! Guards!!! Kariya shouted from the prison but no one came as it was a setup plot from above, they could only watch Shadia bled and die of agony, Lady Salsa watched as one of the girls that accompanied her for years died from pain and predicament that was meant for her and sobbed uncontrollably, Kariya consoled and cried along with her.

"It's about time for the cat to catch the prey" one of you go and check how things her in the prison," Queen Tekiya said to her handmaiden. . . Queen Tekiya waited in her palace graciously for the good news while she sipped her fresh wine with her scornful face, "My queen, The prison sent news, there was death but it's not of Lady Salsa" the servant replied bowing "You mean that outside slut managed to escape my plot!" Queen Tekiya roared and threw the glass at her, freshly made red wine poured like blood on the royal floor, " I'm sorry my Queen" "Get out !!, take her out and beat her to death" Queen Tekiya retorted, the servant shivered and bowed their heads, no one could breathe probably because they are afraid that Queen Tekiya might take offense, at that very moment they all held their breath and kept their head bowed in fear.

For the next two days, Queen Tekiya was still very paranoid and angry about any single mistake of any servants, she would order them beaten to death, to the point everyone was now beseeching curses at Lady Salsa for not dying.

Meanwhile, in the prison, Lady Salsa and Kariya were starved and worn out as they weren't given any food nor drinks to fill their empty tummy, But what Lady Salsa could think of were her eggs and how they are faring, the more she thought about it, the more tears streamed down her porcelain face, "Dear God, let my eggs be saved, don't let any harm befall them" she prayed hopefully to herself In the Royal court, Kunshiya was admiring and heating his eggs with his breath, as the royal king and one of the Royal blood, he can breathe out fire and ice which is just one of his numerous talents... " My king, it is said that Lady Salsa haven't been given any food nor drinks since the incident" Kunshiya Kun's right man Abid whispered to him "Tekiya is taking this too far," Kunshiya said as he gently placed the eggs in their newly furnished cots " My edict, release Lady Salsa and send the royal physician to her, make sure she settled in with no harm" kunshiya Kun ordered It wasn't up to five minutes when the order was given, the chief guard himself went to the prison to release Lady salsa, when he got there he was surprised that the beautiful lady they brought to the Royal palace two days ago could be reduced to a sham like this, his eyes were full of sympathy and pity " My lady, Dragon King ordered your release," the chief guard said and went to assist her up but was snubbed by Lady Salsa, Kariya then helped her lady up but it was sloppy since she hasn't had anything since two days ago, they didn't take two steps before they both fell and landed their pretty ass on the blood ridden floor, they later had to lean on the chief guard before they could get up and left the prison, immediately they are out of the prison, the chief guard then ordered several servants to accompany lady Salsa to her palace... The news of her release already reached Queen Tekiya's palace but no one dared to relay it was because they've been in fear for the past two days and it was due to the so-called second-ranked lady " You mean, The Dragon King released that bitch!!" Queen Tekiya retorted as she couldn't control her rage " Yes, My Queen," one of her secret guards said " she can escape this, but since she's in this palace, death is only postponed, not inevitable " she smiled wickedly... 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 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 was 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 years ago, don't tell me this was the same girl I rescued after conquering her entire country? He was still 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 found 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 her to be put into prison, he only watched when Shadia died.
