Dare To Love A Dragon - Chapter 117

The day began with the vows of the king to his new bride and husband. The festival didn’t follow Arimelari’s traditions as Ander was playing it safe.

After the vows they returned to the palace immediately, a small dinner was set with only the royal family allowed to attend.

Alexander and Francis attended the dinner together, their hearts were burdened with cries and please of the people. It was becoming impossible for them to have any piece of mind with all that was going on.

Even though they were together again thanks to Ander taking back his dragon mark, they didn’t have any time to spend with each other. And they were together, they were too tired to think about love or anything of that sort.

Their lives had become miserable with everything going on. Malia and her husband too we’re occupied with their own lives to help the couple. She had just found out that she is expecting a child and as such couldn’t afford to make mistakes that would anger the king. Their child was their priority.

The Queen grandmother wasn’t in favor of what was going on but she was not stupid enough to interfere, the first time she played god she ended up paying a huge price for it.

She just couldn’t make the same mistake again so she let things go by themselves. Annak sat by the queen grandmother. She had a lot to think of in her mind, the fact that Ander had moved Avan to a place that she knew not of made things complicated. She couldn’t tend to the boy and have him fix the damage that had become of Arimelari.

Olivia sat opposite the king, she had no opinions for the wedding. She was only furious that Ander had given Francis back to Alex but the chaos the boy created worked in her favor. She didn’t have to watch the two of them being loving to each other, it was tiring and heartbreaking.

With all the things they have been up to trying to help the people. It had taken a toll on their relationship and that fact made her happy.

Ander stared at everyone at the table. He could read all that they had going on in their heads and frankly he didn’t care. He didn’t care about their problems or their troubles. All that he was concerned about was how to get Avan back and destroy all his enemies.

The demon wails could be heard from his seat, the demons as always we’re spreading fear and panic into the subjects hearts and feeding off their negative emotions.

He ate his meal slowly, the table was quite unlike before when they would talk and catch on the activities of the day during eating time.

His life had changed quite a lot and he liked the changes. The only problem was the forces that were gathering against him. They were getting on his nerves, his spies had reported to him just how many they were and he was still trying to figure out how to hit all of them at the same time.

He had a plan that needed to be set in motion. He waited to make certain that he gets to wound all of them with it.

“My husband,” a call came from his side causing him to glance in that direction. “I was just practising how I should call you from now on,” Natalia added shyly.

Her words got the attention of everyone at the table. Ella almost vomited hearing the words she uttered. Her face was drained of any joy since she lost her best friend and what worse was the betrayal that Ander had done on him by marrying Amaru and Natalia.

She was sure that Avan would be heartbroken when he wakes up. His heart would never be able to bear the pain of watching the boy he loves in the arms of other people.

That was one of the things she envied of the male. He wasn’t awake to witness the horror that was happening in his land and with his beloved. But sadly she was witnessing everything and it was killing pieces of her to do so.

The look on Ander’s face didn’t change after seeing her blush. He continued to eat his food without replying to her.

“I am full,” Amaru announced. “I will retire to bed,” he added.

“I will join you,” Ander told pushing his dish away. He got up from his seat and hooked his hand around Amaru’s. They walked out of the room in unison, their steps were matched as they strode away.

“The whispers are getting dangerous. They’re getting ready to attack you,” Amaru informed him as they walked towards their room.

“I know, worry not as I have everything under control,”he said confidently.

They entered their room. The room was decorated for their wedding night. Scented candles all over the room making it smell sweet, flowers were kept in vases all across the room.

From the door to the bed, flower petals were aligned for them to walk on. Striding to the bed. Ander read the words on the bed with a frown.

‘Ander & Natalia’

They were written on the bed with rose petals with a heart in between their names. He swung his hand in the air creating wind to blow the petals off the bed.

“You can have the bed,” Ander said to him.

He sat down on the ground with his feet folded. He closed his eyes to rest his mind.

“Why don’t we share the bed? Are you scared we might do something more than just sleep?”

Ander opened his eyes.”That is a dream that wont ever come true. You should stop dreaming,” he advised.

“Without dreams all is lost, so how can you ask me not to dream?” Amaru asked. He slid down to the ground next to the male. “The future is untold and we do not know what will happened. We have to come up with a plan,” he said calmly.

His voice was steady but Ander could detect a little fear in it. He could sense the uneasiness in the god and he wouldn’t blame him. The enemies they were up against weren’t to be played around with. They were very strong and powerful but most importantly they took strength in their numbers.

They were different people coming together to get rid of them. While they were alone with demons and dragons by their side.

“What do have planned?” Amaru asked him seriously.

“I don’t have a plan,” Ander told him honestly.

“What??”

“Let’s sleep,” Ander got up from the floor and went to the bed. He removed his shoes and jumped on the bed.

He gazed at the ceiling with clear eyes, he did have a plan but the less people who knew the greater the chances of it succeeding and he couldnt risk his enemies finding out what was in his head before it was done.

“You can’t just say something like that to me and then suggest we go to sleep. I am married to you now and that means that my life is at risk,” Amaru whined while taking his place on the bed beside Ander.

“What do you want to hear, tell me the words and I will say them to you.”

“No, you don’t get to do that with me. Tell me what are you planning,” Amaru demanded.

“Is it so hard to believe that I don’t have a plan?” he asked and Amaru nodded his head.

“Well then my plan was simple. Marty you and have you come up with the plan,” he replied stiffly turning his head to glance at Amaru.

“You are mad,” Amaru told to him.

“So I have been told. But madness is a good thing to be when you are in the middle of a war,” Ander said with a devilish smile on his face.

“You are truly mad.”

“Who is mad?” they both heard a female voice say by the door.

They glanced to the door at the same time to catch Natalia in her white wedding gown smiling at the two of them. She stood tall with pride.

“What is she doing in this room?” Amaru whispered to Ander. The King shrugged his shoulders as an answer to him.

“I am married to the king and I intend to spend the night with my husband on our first night,” she said proudly.

They watched her slowly make her way to them. “Will you just stare at me or will create room for me on the bed?” she asked them.

Amaru scooted over creating room for her. She climbed up the bed between the two of the them and laid down.

She had the two of them stare at her waiting for her to do something. “What?”

“Tell me that she is not sleeping here with us,”

“She is not sleeping here with us,” Ander said to him. “She will sleep her own sleep and your yours on the bed,” he added.

“Yay.”

“Seriously, the two of you do realise the best seduction is between you right?” she asked.

Amaru and Ander turned their backs to her and went to sleep.
