Eternal love of the red dragon - Chapter 69

“Everyone is just staring,” Lilith said.

‘Relax” Ash replied as they went to the queen.

“Your highness,” Lilith said.

“You absolutely stunning” the queen replied as she hugged Lilith and the girl smiled.

“You look beautiful too” the girl replied.

“Good now there are a few people I would like you to meet, a mage is one among them,” the queen said and Lilith swallowed deeply.

“A mage?” Lilith asked as a young man came to them.

“Your highness,” he said as Lilith turned around and he smiled.

‘Hello,” Lilith said.

“Lilith this is Caz,” the queen said as the boy held onto Lilith’s hand and kissed it.

“Hi” Lilith said.

“How are you?” Caz asked.

“I am fine” she responded.

“Good well I am the mage she was talking about,”  he said.

‘Oh I see but I…” she replied with a sigh then he smiled.

“Don’t worry I am only here to give you this” he said as he placed a stong in the form of a dragon in her hand.

“What’s this for?” she asked.

“It’s what your mother made for you once…” he responded and Lilith’s eyes widened.

“You know my mother?” she asked.

‘Your mother is a great woman and a good friend, tell her I aid hi” he responded then disappeared and Lilith frowned.

“I am sorry but he insisted on meeting you.. he was very close to your mother apparently,” the Queen said and Lilith forced a smile as the music started playing.

“Princess, can I have this dance?” Rex asked and Lilith looked at Ash then he smiled.

“Go on…” Ash said and she smiled then held onto Rex’s hand.

“Sure” she responded and he pulled her towards him then placed his hand around her waist as she placed hers on his shoulder and he smiled as they started dancing with the others.

“Rex has gotten quite attached to the girl don’t you think?” the king asked and the queen smiled.

“Anyone would, even you so be careful not to get ahead of yourself” she responded and he laughed.

“I know how I am… don’t worry about any of that,” he said as he grabbed onto the queen’s hand and she laughed as they went to dance.

After the dance finished a few of the people came up to the front to discuss their current situation with Lilith’s father.

“Your highness,” a woman said as she bowed to the queen.

“Speak” the queen replied.

“We believe that the princess can defeat her father… if she undergoes the proper training” the woman said and Lilit squeezed Rex’s hand and he sighed.

“You cannot force her to undergo any training that is not good for her or force her to fight against her father,” Rex said and the queen sighed.

“Rex is right guys, we cannot take out our frustration on the princess just because she is the last of her kind,” the queen said.

‘It is her duty no matter which way you may look at it” a guy said and the king raised his right brow.

“You can more than protect yourself for now… no need to panic” the king replied.

“How can we not? he is expanding his army by the day” the guy shouted and Lilith’s eyes widened as her hand trembled.

“That is enough if you guys came here to force her into accepting this then it’s not going to happen, she is a human too,” the king said.

“She has no choice, this is her duty as the last of her king and he is her father she has to” the guy shouted and Rex’s eyes started glowing as the atmosphere changed and got really cold.

“Enough” he shouted and Lilith jumped then the queen swallowed deeply as the guy facing Rex’s eyes started glowing too and upon feeling her brother’s anger Cosmo woke up.

‘Who are you to decide her destiny huh?” Rex asked.

“Rex calm down,” the king said.

“I am just stating the facts, she has no other portion, we can tell her what to do the phoenix fights for the people, which means us” he replied and Rex transformed into his dragon hit the chandelier out of its place and it fell to the floor shattering and he roared then everyone gasped and the guy before him trembled.

‘Rex” Lilith called out.

“Rex” Lilith called out as she went to him and Cosmo walked into the ball room and saw.

“Rex” she called out as she saw Lilith going towards him.

“Oh no” she said as she ran to them.

“Rex” Lilith called out as the guy grabbed onto her and Rex’s eyes widened as the ballroom got windy as if a storm was in there and it was hard for anyone to even walk.

‘Let go of me” Lilith said as little blue flew in and bit the guy by his arm then he screamed and Rex hit him away from the princess using his tale.

‘Rex stop” Cosmo said as she walked up to them and upon seeing her Lilith’s eyes widened then she sighed and walked to Rex as he stared at her and she placed her hand on his cold scales then he closed his eyes and she rubbed him as the cold, strong wind disappeared and everyone sighed as Rex went back to being normal.

“Are you okay?” he asked as he transformed back and Lilith smiled.

‘I am fine” she responded as she turned and looked at Cosmo who was trembling.

‘Cosmo” she called out as she grabbed onto the girl and Cosmo smiled.

‘I am glad you are okay” Cosmo said as her eyes were closing and Lilith smiled.

“You..” Rex said as he looked at the guy on the floor then grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up in the air.

“Next time you pull something like that I will rip your head off of your body and have it for dinner,” Rex said.

‘Rex let him go, come on” the king said as he grabbed onto Rex and Cosmo coughed.
