Dare To Love A Dragon - Chapter 156
Ander, Royan and Razaan fell to the water down the cliff. Razaan created a bubble around them that helped them to breath under water. Ander was so nervous that he had held in to Royan the whole way.
Outside the bubble he could see the creatures in the water. They were so terrifying that he held his breath hoping that the bubble doesn’t pop. He was still unaware of why they had to go for a swim in a dangerous waters such as these.
“Where are we going?” Ander asked to him.
The Phoenix turned around to face him, he was having fun seeing the dragon was so terrified. It was understandable. The new people that went into the queen’s house had the same reaction on their faces.
The creatures did keep everyone away from the palace.. No one dared to go to into the water to find out what was underneath the water. The creatures in the water could senses one’s emotions from a distance and know their intention.
If anyone dangerous came there to find trouble then the energy they created from their bad intentions would wake them up. And they would tear him/her into pieces in a second.
He had gotten used to them, never bothered to learn their name. As it is in the dragon language and the language was very hard to master.
As long as they didn’t hurt him, he was fine with them being around. As he gazed at Ander, he saw a glimpse of something behind him. There was a water dragon not to far back from them, it was looking for food.
He could recognise that dragon anywhere in the world. It was the dragon that belonged to his family, his father used him when he needed to go and see the queen in the underwater castle.
Seeing the dragon made him nervous, he moved away from Ander and made him hold on to his brother for support. Both the king of Azabia and his father in the same place at the same time smelled like a lot of trouble that he was going to have a weak’s headache from.
They arrived at the underwater palace, Ander’s widen with shock at how good the place looked.
“Seriously, how could you not tell me that such a place existed,” she said to him.
They landed into the the barrier of the palace and landed at the balcony of the palace. The palace was dry with the barrier keeping the water out of the palace.
They went into the palace. All the servants were in the second floor of the palace. It was an indication that something important was going on in the first floor.
“We will apologise to mother and get you back into the family,” Razaan stated to him. Ander nodded his head to him. It was making him happy to make amends for his mistake.
If it were before then he wouldn’t even bother to apologise when he is the one in the wrong but now he felt it was the right thing to do. He took a deep breath and released it as they walked down the stairs.
Razaan and Royan held their hands together as they made their way to the first floor. Everyone was in the room, they were talking about about something very serious.
“Good they are here,” a girl sitting next to the queen said. “We can ask him if he wants this,” the girl said to them.
The King walked over to them. He grabbed Ander’s hand and led him to the muddle of the room.
“Ander, this is Manuela and we were thinking of marrying the two of you. What do you have to say about that?” he asked to him while dragging the girl to stand by his side.
“Yes, why don’t you tell us what you think and if you don’t like her. You can push her to the ground,” the queen let out irritated by the fact that despite her clear decision to never see the boy again. She was forced to look at him not that far away from her moment of insult.
“I…well.. I,” He started to say unable to decide what answer to give. He couldn’t deny that the king’s smile did make him nervous.
He looked back at Royan and signalled with his brows for him to help him choose the answer. Royan could only look at him in return.
He didn’t want to make the decision for the male in case he grows to hate it in the future. Whatever happens to him should be his decision that way he can only have himself to blame for the rest of the future.
Seeing as the Phoenix was not going to help him, he went ahead to look to the king. “I like someone else,” he replied to him.
“Who?” the king asked to him.
“Royan,” Ander asked to him. He went to speak the truth to him. He did like Royan and that was not a lie that he told. And the boy liked him too.
“What are you saying that you are in love with your brother’s fiancee,” the king asked him seriously.
“Yes,” he replied softly.
“Alright then, since you are already in love with someone else, you need not consider this offer,” the king said to him.
Ander felt his heart become light that the king had listened to him. The fact that he didn’t react to all that he said was a plus for him. He made certain that he had spoke the truth and it freed him from guilt.
The King let him go, he was asked to go to his room and rest for a while since he had just arrived home. He left the room and was escorted to the room that was meant for him.
Unknown to him was the trouble that he had caused for the boy that he claimed to have feelings for.
The moment that he stepped away, the king made Razaan and Royan to take their wedding vows with their families as the witness to it.
The two had officially not planned to get married for a long time but now they were forces to cross boundaries they had not expected to cross.
Their fate and destiny was marked in stone all thanks to Ander. Royan’s father was the one who was marrying them, the two tried to plead with their families not to take such a drastic step but no one listened to them.
Getting married to someone he didn’t like wasn’t in his plans. Royan had a plan on how to get himself away from the marriage alliance before they were wed but the plan that he had been hatching since forever was foiled in just a moment.
“I now pronounce you both as a married couple,” Royan’s father said to them when the wedding ceremonies were complete. The two of them were now married to each other, and for dragons and phoenix’s divorce is never possible.
Royan’s face became cold and indifferent as he dashed out of the room in a hurry. Razaan followed behind him feeling the same as he did.
The marriage was something that brought him nightmares. The thought of having to spend the rest of his life married to the someone who he didn’t love was making his heart ache.
He just couldn’t feel happy despite the fact that it was his wedding. The fact that Ander was responsible for their situation was also something that he couldn’t let go of. The fact won’t change that he was the root cause of all the problems he had ever had in his life.
Since childhood he had been paying for the mistakes of his brother. It was the only thing that he had ever done, the only mistake was that he was unfortunate enough to have the male as his brother.
He made his way to the room that Royan had stomped into. The Phoenix was burning with rage at what had happened. They had come here to fix Ander’s mistake but ended up paying a price for it.
“Crying will not help. Both of our lives would have been better if that boy had not come into it,” he had said to them.
He walked to Royan and held him from the back. “Why are you crying in here? Will the facts change if you cry?” he questioned to him.
“I don’t know what to do,” Royan stated hating the ring that was on his finger. His body was frozen cold from how things had gone down. He was now married and there was nothing that he could do to change it.
He didn’t want to blame Royan for it all but he did feel the need to point out that had the male not opened his mouth then he would not be in that situation.
“Ander is the one responsible for it. And he will pay for it,” Razaan said.
“No, don’t let anything happened to him. It was an innocent mistake of his,” Royan defended.
“It will be my innocent mistake when I trick him into accepting to marry Manoela,” Razaan said.
