Draconic Ascendance: The King Selection What I Think Of You
Eurydice watched as the orchid-coloured fishes swarmed around her, nibbling her silky legs. She brushed her fingers through the water as if trying to touch the moon reflected. The pond was not very shallow. Sometimes, she would jump into the waters below, trying to drown herself when no one was around. She would close her eyes and allow the darkness to consume her, but then, as always, her servants would find and pull her.One time, there was absolutely no one who came. She had expected that, finally, the time had come for her to die. She waited until she was out of breath, but it never happened. She couldn't die. Not even nature could kill her now. Even Death was doubtful about taking her. Neither heaven nor hell awaits her. She remembered her responsibilities and her little brother when she rose from the water. After that, she never attempted again.She felt like a fool. Though her demons whispered in her ear to jump and join the fishes, her body refused. Not yet, she said. 'It's
Draconic Ascendance: The King Selection The Four Princes and the Commoner
The four princes who completed the Trials happened to find each other in the Palace's vast front yards. The maids sparingly glanced at them and squealed as the dashing nobles walked under the bright sun. They were so astoundingly charming that even the married women gawked over the walking men.The princes had woken up early to stretch and jog. Some of them took this as an opportunity to go around the Palace, which they have been unable to do for the past few days. Poor royalties had to review paperwork and attend to business matters even if they were away from their countries.The castle grounds were endless; for some unknown reason- they all found themselves intersecting at one place simultaneously. Prince Yue, Prince Herbert, Prince Kael, and Prince Xavier all looked at one another with awkward faces.Prince Yue, who came all the way from the East, turned right as if he had not seen a single shadow of any of the princes. Between the four of them, Prince Yue was most passive and obs
Draconic Ascendance: The King Selection Arguments with the Queen
Tension quelled between the Queen and Ares. The commoner does not back down on the Queen's low sight of him."You really do have a sharp tongue, don't you?""You say that, but you helped me get away with it anyway. Why did you do that?" Ares asked Eurydice as they walked towards the dining hall in the long, empty corridors. Eurydice boredly swung her head to him while she curled the tips of her hair with her fingers. She shrugged her shoulders and took a deep breath before replying."You looked like you were about to burst. You seemed speechless. Is this always what happens when someone asks for your surname?" Ares lowered his head and watched his feet stroll while he followed behind her. The Queen noticed the passiveness of the commoner when they talked about him. It's as if he tries to speak less to hide his identity. Eurydice continued walking- her haunting, mighty heels echoing in the long hallway. She kept her eyes on the path ahead while ruminating about Ares's background.She
Draconic Ascendance: The King Selection The Boy He Raised
Gasping, sprinting, and parkouring- Ares had made it that far from the Palace with just his two feet. He would see the Palace guards being mobilized at the minute of his first step to escape. They loitered on the ground while asking the civilians if they saw him. Ares listened carefully and almost burst into a giggle when he heard how they described him."Have you seen a man that goes swish and swoosh!""Hey, by any chance, did you see a peasant with dark hair?" to which a villager replied, "Almost everyone here has black hair."They were hopeless, and Ares took this opportunity to change his outfit. He removed his first vest and then blended with the people until he could exit the capital. The farther he went, the fewer soldiers looked for him. But even so, Ares knew he was going to be found eventually, especially since he was dealing with the most powerful person inland, Eurydice.Ares slipped his hands into his pockets and drew out his pocket watch."I still have time."─━━━━━━⊱✿⊰━
Draconic Ascendance: The King Selection Generosity
Eurydice waited patiently behind a pillar while playing with her ornaments when Icarai and Ares approached her. The Queen lifted her gaze at them while slowly crossing her arms. With a stern expression, she asked, "How is he doing now?"The farmer was thankfully saved when the Queen graced generosity to lend her infirmary to him. She wasn't supposed to care, but upon seeing the horrified look of losing someone in Ares's eyes, she decided that she wouldn't want to look at it again as it reminded her of the past. Icarai removed his spectacles and rubbed his temples, "He isn't very good. He is extremely overfatigued, and he has tuberculosis. If you were paying attention to other nations recently, this infectious disease has been rampant, Radiance. We have no medicine in the Palace to cure him."Ares's face became even more depressed. Though he hid it perfectly with a serene, calm face- the Queen could clearly distinguish the loss of spark in his eyes, as if all he felt were nothing but
Draconic Ascendance: The King Selection The Queen and The Retinue
The Queen froze despite his warm hug. Ares's huge palms covered the back of her head; he, too, couldn't believe that he had just pulled her into a hug. When he found her crying for no reason, his body moved. He just couldn't just stand seeing someone cry.They stayed in that position for a minute before the male slowly pulled away. Eurydice was glaring at him. Ares averted his gaze, "Sorry. It was a reflex.""A reflex? Had you been someone else, I would've cut your head the moment you closed in."Ares pouted. What a way to ruin the mood, "I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention.""Clearly. Quite bold of you to touch me like that."Ares tried to find the tears in her face, but she was back to her sassy expression. Did he just imagine it? He could've sworn he saw her being melancholic. He had been in the courtroom for a few minutes and saw how she paced in the empty room. She was sad."Once the farmer opens his eyes, tell him to meet me in the Doctor's lounge. I'll be waiting for him there.
Draconic Ascendance: The King Selection Negotiations
Ares overheard their conversation. He hid behind the corner while his master and the Queen conversed under the moonlight. He listened to Eurydice's tone as she mellowed and became vulnerable around his father. It seemed like the two had shared some memories at some point in time. Eurydice spoke very cryptically, as if she was aware that Ares was listening to her the entire time. The male thought his disguise was great. He slept the entire time Eurydice was making sounds and pretended, only to be given this moment to listen to them both. He was worried that Eurydice would do something to his father. They spoke about a disease to which they referred as the wyvern living inside her. Rumors from all around Fontana suggest that by the time Eurydice's mother had given birth to her, a wyvern terrorized Fontana. They sealed the monster into their firstborn child in order to suppress it. And that child was Eurydice. But Ares didn't know if any of those were true. They also spoke about hi
Draconic Ascendance: The King Selection Her Radiance and Her Past
Eurydice entered the meeting hall. A long, vast table lay before her, depicting the map of the entire world. This table was a gift from a witch to Eurydice herself when she was crowned Queen. Pins were all around the map, depicting enemy troops from the North and the West. Unfortunately, Fontana shares the same continent with the Northern Frost Kingdom, Tiberia. Only a beach separates the frost lakes of Tiberya and Fontana. Upon Her Radiance's arrival, the twelve Generals bowed until she reached her part of the table. "Updates?" she asked."Multiple troops are seen canvassing the borders. Fishermen on the beach are being shot with arrows from Tiberian troops.""Have you evacuated the Northern Villages?" "Yes, but we just started. I believe they will finish next week." "Well, make them go faster." Eurydice firmly commanded. "We can't have those pea-brained oafs take down our civilians. If they dared, I will-""Calm down, my Queen." a younger female general urged her. "We cannot be
