Draconic Ascendance: The King Selection Welcome to Fontana
"Hey, have you heard about the King Selection?" So early in the morning, in the crack of dawn- blasted rumors in the village of the commoners. As the merchants and farmers prepared their stalls for their businesses, they could not help but listen to the news widespread from the City of Nobles. Passing from ear to ear, they spoke of the Selection they all feared. "The Queen is mad! If we don't remind her of this lunacy, Fontana will be sure to end up in scraps!" "Watch your mouth!" another said, her eyes dilating. "The Queen's soldiers are around. You do not want to be dragged and beheaded, do you not?" "What's this about the King Selection?" a young, roguish lad asked them as he drops the pile of sacks he had carried from the farm. "Ah, child," the woman beckoned the male and sighed deeply in regret. "The King Selection will be held tomorrow in the Queen's courtyards. We do not recommend to enlist. You are sure not to come out alive. Why do you think is this country's population
Draconic Ascendance: The King Selection The Mad Queen
"The thief had escaped!" Soldiers were mobilized upon their General's cry after his body was mercilessly slashed into ribbons by a notorious criminal. Thick, fresh blood leaked before his meaty and worn skin whilst his vision continued to fade. The soldiers quickly came to his aid whilst the other soldiers panicked to search for the escapee. "Find him! Don't let him reach the Gates! If the Queen learns about this, she will have our heads!" Panic rose in the dispatched soldiers' chests as the General mentioned their Queen. One would never dream of witnessing the Queen's wretched wrath. Her schemes of punishments and never-ending quench of lunacy could not be compared to other Kings. Everything she says is absolute, and if she is to command them to take their own lives, they will not be able to turn away from her command. For the Queen is cursed with the Wyvern's Cry. Her power is unfathomable, and Her High Radiance, Maximillia Eurydice was feared by other nations. She has conquere
Draconic Ascendance: The King Selection To Challenge the Queen
"The commoner has arrived, My Queen," Icarai whispered at her while she was taking bites of her scrumptious breakfast, which consisted of a hearty set of sweetened glazed meat and a healthy turkey soup. "Tell him to come join me," Queen Eurydice said while wiping the stain from her lips. "Has he eaten already?" "I don't suggest inviting him to the dining room," Icarai told her. "He is quite untidy and reeks of sweat and soil. His clothes are also filled with blood." Queen Eurydice played with her fork and jabbed a piece of meat left over from her plate. "I've seen limbs raining in war, Icarai. Why do you think such would disgust me?" "I'll call him over then." The Queen's loyal dogman went back to the courtroom and escorted the seeingly clueless Ares inside. The queen was eating and therefore, did not bother raising her head to look at the commoner. Though Ares intrigues her, the Queen does not care about his appearance and rather, regards him as somewhat 'average' even if she di
Draconic Ascendance: The King Selection Let The Games Begin!

On the bleachers, watched some of the villagers and the married couples who wished to witness the becoming of the King of Fontana. Some families of the royal blood, came too, to witness the grand event. The queen's knights entered the stadium, all who wished to marry the radiant and intelligent, Queen Eurydice.

Draconic Ascendance: The King Selection The Brutal Trials
Eurydice walked in the middle of the platform and danced in the air. At first, the people were stunned in delight as she whirled in the air with her black flowing dress. Her blue hair covered her exposed shoulders whilst the sky turned dark. Ares watched in awe as thunder roared in the sky, unpleased. Hooded warlocks appeared in the stadium's circumference each holding a staff of calamity. This was a legendary weapon owned by the Queen, allowing her to manipulate the weather. The warlocks were her clones. Icarai took a deep breath knowing that beneath him death would soon loom. The breathing of the men became unstable and wary. There was an ominous atmospheric aura around them. They closed their eyes muttering: 'Don't worry, this will happen only once and you can forget joining this damned Selection, forever." Ares's grip tightened around the bars as he watched the helpless men scatter like flies, some trying to near the exit- but it was sealed. Icarai figured out to be merciful an
Draconic Ascendance: The King Selection The Hidden Prince and the Cruel Queen
The troubled young man looked for the Queen around the Palace. He asked all the maids and sentries for the slightest information of her whereabouts, but they would only reply to him with a disgusted glare. To these sentries, Ares was nothing but a commoner. And he was not worth a second of their time.As he strode across the Palace corridors looking for him, he would hear commotion drawing nearer and nearer. Ares looked behind and found one of the princes, surrounded by a couple of ladies in bright, wide dresses. Their arms were linked to his, but the Prince showed no interest in them. He merely lifted his gaze at Ares, who blocked the middle of the corridor with his presence. The sentries lined would arch their backs, greeting Prince Xavier of Valonia with salutations, meanwhile, the confused Ares continued staring back."Hey, you!" a sentry hissed to him, pissed. "What the heck are you doing? Get out of the way!"Upon seeing how the Prince's presence made the arrogant sentries piss
Draconic Ascendance: The King Selection The Tainted Heart
Ares stared at the Queen with hesitant eyes and she only gave him a sweet but sinister smile. She twirled her long red-polished fingernails on the ends of her short, azure hair- curling them. Ares stared at the Queen's spiral irises. She didn't really look human."Mhm?" Queen Eurydice called for his attention, beckoning at him to resume what he was about to tell her. Ares stared back, unfazed. Though Eurydice found him uncomfortable when he looked too intently at her, she endured it. "How powerful are you?" were the first words Ares blurted out. There was curiosity gleaming in the male's eyes. "I believe you had your eyes peeled on me the entire time I was showing them off. I'll hear your estimates." she casually replied, knowing that if she replied with a concrete answer, their conversation would be cut short. She wanted to spend a little time bullying Ares. Moreover, she was curious about how he thought of her. 'Surely he must be shaking on his knees, isn't he?' Eurydice evilly

She was pushing a trolley with his breakfast. The maid stuttered, enthralled by his dashing features."I-I brought your meals, Sir!"The male's vibrant golden eyes turned to the maid. "Thank you," he reached out to the trolley's handle and slowly pushed the cart inside his room. The maid panicked. She was supposed to carry his food inside.When the two turned around, their jaws dropped to the floor.Queen Maximillia Eurydice was sitting on Ares's bed, a dainty smile on her face while her legs were crossed. The maid turned pale, and the blush from her face faded
