Dare To Love A Dragon - Chapter 116

“Whispers are traveling in the shadows,” Amaru informed. “Every witch, wizard, and all the supernatural creatures are after your life,” he added.

He spoke up, he spent the whole morning explaining to the king of the enemies he has but the boy acted like it was nothing.

“Onilen Leafspearf is the head of the group gathering against you. You need to take this seriously” he warned.

“What you mean is that everyone who is feared in the world is afraid of me?” Ander asked him with an amused smile on his face. “Why should I be scared of them when they are afraid of me?”

“They are dangerous…” Amaru began to say hesitantly and stopped.

“They are coming together in Hoxgan to attack me, using Avan as bait to get me there but I am smart. I won’t go to then but I will draw them to me,” Ander let out.

The night was young, the stars in the sky twinkled with beauty.

“I didn’t get to be introduced as King today but tomorrow the whole world will know who the king is. My enemies and friends.”

Amaru was confused by his confidence. The people he was up against were the entire supernatural society. Even a good couldn’t handle so many people easily and he was confidently saying that he could handle it.

“Are you mad? I know you are strong and calculating but this is not a fight but a battle. You are fighting the world not just a few people like your family. You are fighting th…”

“Do you think me a fool? That I can’t figure out what is going on?” Ander asked him losing his temper. “Are you crazy, just like you they will have this mindset and they will make the mistake of underestimating me? And I will use this to my advantage, I will destroy them before they think of destroying me,” he added.

Ander took deep breaths to calm his anger. He had worked on his anger issues for the last months but at times things just made him lose it. He was burning with rage with Amaru’s words echoing in his mind.

He was young and inexperienced but that was no excuse for them to look down on him.

“Relax, I am on your side. I was only trying to warn you but you have the last say,” Amaru told to him.

“I make this challenge to you. If I don’t make those silly witches pay for this then I will change my name,” Ander challenged him.

His heart was on fire burning with rage. He raised his hand to his chest, he dug his nails into his skin penetrating to his heart.

His nails brushed against his heart as he grabbed hold of it. He closed his eyes and opened them. They had turned black, he cast a spell while removing his heart.

He held his beating heart in his hand and stared at it. The heart soon disappeared into thin air, the scales on his neck appeared. Another layer of hard scales formed on top of the one that was on him.

“To kill me, they need to strike at my heart and neck. With my heart gone and my neck being indestructible I can’t be killed,” he stated.

Amaru’s jaw dropped at what he witnessed. The spell and practice that Ander was using were ancient and forbidden. Such spells were disposed of years ago. Even he knew not of those spells.

“They can’t kill me if I have no weakness. But they on the other hand have lots of things that weaken them. All I have to do is find them. What do you think of my plan?” he asked calmly turning his head to stare at Amaru.

“You are crazy and brilliant at the same time. I have no idea whether to be proud or scared,” he replied.

“Both, I won’t mind,” Ander said his anger calming down. His rage was his weakness, he always gets reckless when he is emotional and that was no good when the world was against him.

“You have protected yourself from death but you still have so much to lose. You care for your mother and Avan and they can be used against you,” he advised to him.

“You need not worry about that, Avan is protected. I have put measures in place to keep my mother safe, far away from all of this,” he replied casually. “The only thing you need to worry about is my wedding plans,” he told to him.

Amaru sat down to get a hold of himself. They were in the crossfire on the battlefield and he was thinking of getting married. Avan’s soul had been stolen so he wasn’t the groom, Francis had been given back to Ander and the mark removed from him.

He was not an option since marrying the king wasn’t in his plans. He only needed to survive and with the dragon’s crazy mind and devilish determination, he was sure he stood on the winning end. So who was the person he planned to marry?

As always the male was causing him a headache. Instead of thinking of the war, he is thinking of starting a family.

“Who is the groom?” he asked certain that it wasn’t a girl he planned to marry.

“Not one but two,” Ander replied playing with the grapes as he ate them.

“Two?” he stared shocked. “Namely?”

“Natalia and…” Ander stretched out his words to create suspense.

“And?”

“And you. I plan to make you mine, you once said that you are the only one who loves me. I know that Avan loves me and so do you but since he isn’t here then you have to do it,” the dragon explained. “I know you are with me not for love but your selfish agenda. I don’t mind but to stay by my side you have to marry me,” he added.

Amaru folded his hand into a fist. He gulped at the proposal, it made him speechless.

“Are you mad?” he asked getting up. His anger shot up. “Do you know what will happen if I marry you.? It is good to support you from the shadows but you want to tell the whole world that I am supporting you. I refuse your proposal,” he bluntly refused.

Ander’s lips curled up into a smile. He was seventeen years old and very intrigued by the thought that ran in other’s minds concerning him. He was amazed by the fact that Amaru thought that he had an option to refuse him.

“The only reason I am asking you to marry me is for that. I can’t have you go behind my back like you did Francis by making a deal with Annak,” he told getting up with a couple of grapes in his hands.

“How do you know about that?”

“When I left your body I left a little back four that I can use to see where you go and what you say,” he informed striding near the god.

“Now you either accept my proposal or leave. Your choice but before you make it bear one thing in mind. If you leave my side I will treat you as my enemy,” he added feeding a grape to him.

“Is that a threat?” the faceless god asked his aura getting dark.

“Stop,” Ander uttered softly and he calmed down. His aura returned to normal, Amaru’s eyes widen. “I also left my imprint on your powers before I gave them back. They can’t ha me so don’t waste your time trying,” he said to him.

Ander backed away from him happy that he had shattered that thought from the god that he stood a chance of going against him. He cleared the misunderstanding in the boy’s mind and that brought him immense joy.

“What is your answer, will you marry me or not?”

“I will,” Amaru replied. He wanted to be mad at being played from right under his nose but a part of him was impressed. He was a god that has been alive for years and this was the first time he met such a calculating mind. A mind that thinks of all and leaves nothing to chance.

“Glad to have you onboard,” Ander said. Now he only had to inform the family and have them prepare his wedding. It might cheer them up from how moody they had been the whole day. They were all scared of him and thought him a monster at what he had done to Arimelari.

“I can’t believe that you are marrying that annoying girl. What do you see in her?” Amaru asked settling down again.

“The same thing I see in you. A cunning mind with something to gain and nothing to lose. Such are the people I need around me right now,” Ander answered passing him the grapes to.

“That is a terrible quality to look for in a life partner,” he said angrily.

“The qualities I seek are in Avan. The two of you are just decorations,” he let out to him.
