Dragon Loves Me

"Tell me. How? Do you think they will sit silently? Even if we are royals we will be powerless if people turn against us. What are you going to do if the Dalton family withdraw their position and turn against us? Based on the friendship with the Dalton family, the Kreed family will turn against us. What will you do?" Veronica is burning inside with rage.

"B-But we are Drackston's. We have dragon god blood in our veins and we can summon dragons.." Aaron doesn't want to admit that the others are above them.

"Drackston's. My foot. Don't believe that stupid tale. Drackston family members only summon dragons when they awaken their blood. But there is more than that, no one till now awakened the full power yet. Did any one of our ancestors awaken their full powers? Did your father do it? Or did you? Then how are you going to use your powers?"

"Okay. Even if you summon dragons, how are you going to control them once they are out of your grasp? Have you ever thought of it? At least have you ever tried to awaken your powers to summon a dragon? Your father tried hard for many years to learn and he can summon a dragon or two. That's it. But whereas those families can control all the dragons on this land." Veronica is getting agitated with every passing second.

Both Aaron and Andrea didn't speak a single word, they don't have answers for their mother words. They never thought about all these, they are always in a belief that no one goes against Drackston's but they are forgetting that all the great things about them are in the history books but in reality, they are less powerful than the Dalton's and Kreeds who control dragons.

They can make dragons turn against them. Without their drackston's powers, they won't do anything. With each passing minute, they both are getting panicked and their foreheads are covered with perspiration.

"Mother. Then what are we going to do now?" Aaron's voice came out weakly.

Veronica looked at them coldly and said "What? Now you are feeling tense? What happened to your brains before.."

"Mother. We admit our mistakes. We know." Aaron interrupted his mother and continued "Now please tell me some plan to come out of this."

Veronica closed her eyes to control her anger and think rationally, whatever happens, they are her children and she has to protect them.

"Did anyone know about this matter? Whom did you use for this work?" Veronica's brain started working.

"My personal guard Theo. But his details are unknown at this time." Aaron informed immediately.

"What?" Veronica's anger rose again but she calmed her down and said "Okay. I will handle this matter. If he is somewhere hidden or if someone caught him I will make him silent for this life."

Aaron nodded without hesitation. For him, he is just a guard who does his work and in return, he gives him money.

"And be prepared for the outcome. If we are not able to catch him on time there will be a chance you will be punished. But I will make sure it should not be severe." Veronica said gravely.

Aaron hesitated but agreed at the end. Veronica turned towards Andrea and said, "You, get ready to marry the King of Salius Kingdom."

"What?" Andrea jolted at once when she heard her mother's words.

"What? Any objections?" Veronica looked at her sternly.

"M-Mother. I want to marry Cayden. I love him" Andrea said while suppressing her fear.

Veronica looked at her with a complicated gaze and chuckled "Love? What will it give? Power? Money? Status? Or at least can it be eaten?"

"Mother. But.."

Veronica raised her hand making Andrea stop "What will you and this family gain by you marrying Cayden? If you marry Salius King he will be our aid in need and you will be Queen of Salius Kingdom."

"Or do you have the same thoughts like that damn Princess Allora? Do you want to follow her steps? If yes, then dream on." Veronica said coldly.

The colour on Andrea's face faded and she became white as a sheet. All the things she did till now are for getting Cayden. If she won't get him then what is she going to do?

Andrea stood up and said with determination "Whatever you think I don't care mother. I want to marry Cayden and I don't want the Queen position if I will turn like you."

'Slap'

Andrea staggered back when the force hit her cheek, she looked at her mother with disbelief and tears started falling.

"What do you mean by like me? If it isn't because of me do you think you will enjoy this luxury? If not because of me do you think you both become the heirs of this Kingdom? If not because of my decisions and actions you both will never be heirs. Do you know what I did for this position and your future?" Veronica roared.

Andrea swallowed her words and looked at her mother with fear. She turned around and ran away from the room while wiping her tears.

Veronica fell back into her seat and massaged her temples. Aaron poured tea and handed it to her before saying "Mother, have some tea. Just give her some time and she will agree."

Veronica took the cup and nodded "Yes, you can go. Don't be involved with any maids for a few days."

"Yes, mother." Aaron bid farewell and left her room.

Four days pass by but Veronica is not able to find any clues about Theo and she is not even allowed to meet his majesty. She got frustrated and smashed the things in her room to vent her anger.

Gabriel also got updates about the queen's activities and he supported her from the background to help her. He got a bad feeling these days due to the rumours about Prince and Princess in the people. Due to this, he is helping the queen to solve the matter related to Daltons on priority.

Because he had a feeling that Simon and Bratton are not involved in this matter as they have been silent after that incident. He understood that they were feeling bad because of the lack of his response to the incident.

At first, he thought the rumours were started by them but seeing their reactions about the matter and their disinterest in these rumours made him doubt about this and to add to this most of the ministers in this palace started pressuring him to do something about this matter.

The ministers who licked his foot for favours also trying to stand up for this matter made him believe that Simon is not behind this matter. 

When the court meeting started, Gabriel talked about the main problems mentioned by the ministers and after that, the Prince and Princess issues came for discussion. Gabriel already started feeling headaches.

"Your Majesty, Prince issue is becoming serious these days, there are rumours everywhere that the prince is harassing the maids in the palace. "
