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
Draconic Ascendance: The King Selection Moon Witch
The queen waited for them to arrive in the courtroom. Seconds after her peaceful rest, she would hear the flapping of wings near the wide windows of the courtroom. She opened one eye and found two familiar figures floating and taunting her with grins on their faces. "Hello, big sister!"Eurydice's jaw dropped as she saw her little brother Erron riding behind a huge ghost-looking Griffin. Maneuvering it was her closest acquaintance and the same person who taught her how to control her magic, the Moon Witch, Siv. "Hiya, Eury!" she waved her arms like a madwoman at her while grinning like a fool. "Let us in, will ya?!""Sweet heavenly arses, Sivone!" Eurydice marched towards the windows, worried that her little brother would fall from the Griffin. If ever he did, there would be miles to land in merely seconds. Eurydice was alone in the courtroom thankfully and no one was able to see the Witch. Eurydice placed her fingers on the glass and it melted to water. The griffin was able to ent
Draconic Ascendance: The King Selection The Hero's Son
Ares observed Sivone. She was a young woman, taller than Eurydice. She had leafy-green hair and hazel-brown eyes. She wore a robe that mages usually wear in the Palace but what made her stand out was the trinkets displayed all over her body. She has a necklace of mysterious purple-glowing vials hanging on her neck and an eye of drake. She had the same pearl earrings as Eurydice's. Siv had gifted it to her when the witch visited the ocean. It was given to her by a lost siren. What Ares was more intrigued by was the fact that Siv had introduced herself as Eurydice's best friend."Call me Siv." "Ares," He officially introduced himself. Icarai took a deep breath, savoring peace once more, "You shouldn't be bringing Erron here just like that, Siv. You could've been shot by a spy along the way?""Spy?" Siv raised an eyebrow and then looked at her friend. "Another war again, Eurydice? Are you serious?""It cannot be avoided," Eurydice made it clear to her. "That's why I told you to keep a
