What Your Love Felt Like-The Dragon Saga

Chapter 25.Not what it seems



There was total silence in the Dragon Palace. There were present Draco, Lucian, Raba, Master and other important officials.

” The Seal? ”

Draco looked finally at Master.

He spread his palm without a word. Lucian came forward at the cue and handed it over obediently.

Draco twisted and turned it.

He turned towards Raba.

” Are you telling me this is what mobilised the Shadows? ”

Raba came forward.

” Yes my Lord. Apparently.

He used to be a prisoner in our dungeons. I have no idea who managed to sneak a criminal out from under our tight security. ”

” RUBBISH! ”

Draco’s voice made Raba back a step off.

” Are you implying he mobilised the Shadows with this fake Seal? ”

Draco threw the thing on the ground as it shattered to a million pieces.

Raba was taken back again in surprise.

She immediately went down on her knees.

” Please forgive me my Lord. I was naive. It was my mistake. ”

Draco turned towards Lucian.

” What else did you find out? ”

Lucian walked forward.

” Nothing much apart from the fact that he had been promised freedom by someone from your inner circle in exchange of his service. ”

He watched Raba from the corner of his eyes.

Draco turned towards the Master.

” I thought you had something to share with the ones present here. ”

Master bowed at Draco, then stepped in the middle of the Hall, they were sited in.

“What I have today is not something that I would like to talk about. But it is something that I would like to show.”

He pulled something out of his sleeve.

It looked like a glass bottle.

Everybody watched with eager eyes.

Master watched all their gazes fixated on the product he had brought in their presence.

” Master… Master… ”

Just then a voice running towards them distracted all their attention .

Draco glared towards it. His eyes about to burst into Flames of Extinction.

” Draco, Wait! ”

Master promptly stopped him as Marcus, Master’s favourite apprentice rushed inside.

” Master. Master you must not open that glass jar. It contains the Lethal Anti- Elixir. ”

He almost fainted as he clasped his heart. It seemed like he had sped a long distance.

But his words had done it’s job.

The entire Hall was up in terror. Dragons looking at each other with eyes that reflected fear.

Draco seemed very disturbed.

He held his throne with his fingers. His teeth gritted. His face showing agitation.

” You are all dismissed. ”

He hissed under his breath.

The place cleared in seconds.

“Come to my study. ”

he hissed again at the Master, before disappearing from there himself.

Master called two guards,

” Here. Take him away to the infirmary. ”

He asked them to take Marcus away who was laying there unconscious.

” Mad boy. ”

Master hissed under his breath and then he too disappeared.

“I should have killed that apprentice of yours as soon as he had entered, ”

Draco burst at Master as soon as he came in front of him.

” Draco calm down. We will have other chances. ”

” Other chances?

It was almost done. Everyone was present in that Hall today. We had the poison. Had it not been for that stupid boy, the killer would have had given himself up.

He would have cowered in fear. ”

Draco banged on a desk as it broke into two.

Master looked at the reck calmly and then back at Draco.

” Draco we have a Selected One by our side. We will find more ways to unearth the Queen’s death mystery. Very soon. ”

” Very soon is out of question. ”

Draco was standing almost face to face with the Master.

” It’s not about the Queen’s death. It’s about a pest inside my own castle. A mole.

This makes a joke out of my status. ”

There was anger raging inside his mad eyes.

” Permission to come in my Lord, ”

somebody ran inside interrupting Draco and Master.

” What is it now! ”

Draco roared.

” The human… the human… ”

the one bearing the message seemed beat up.

Draco flashed beside him. Picked him up to face him.

” Are you talking about Liana? ”

He nodded.

” Yes my Lord.

The human had taken our Prince out for what she called a walk. Since then both have been missing. ”

He almost fainted with fear as he finished the piece of information.

Draco let go of his grip. He immediately dropped on the ground.

Draco turned towards Master.

” This is exactly what I feared. ”

He darted off without another word, heading straight to Liana’s chambers. It was empty.

He went back to where Damian had been staying.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

It was empty as well, just like he was informed.

He could hear the commotion just outside Damian’s room.

Draco concentrated. Trying to locate Liana or Damian’s smell or sound.

His eyes closed. He was scanning through the landscape. Zooming with his mind to different locations.

Finally he stopped browsing. His ears picked the distinct voice of Liana, giggling and laughing. He could

even hear Damian’s baby laughter.

He stopped, opened his eyes.

This was the first time he was hearing his son’s voice. All this time he had kept him away from Liana, the baby had just been sleeping. There was no joy in the baby’s face. Draco had been indifferent to the fact. Thinking that his boy might have taken after his traits. But hearing his joyful jiggling, he felt otherwise.

It reminded him of Kiara immediately.

Her childish smile as she used to wait for him. Patiently. Never annoyed. Never complaining. No matter what he did. What he said. That smile never left her face.

Draco closed his eyes again.

Damian’s laughter was ringing again. Exactly like that of his mother. Pure and innocent.

Draco opened his eyes.

He had found their location. He zoomed his way forward, without stopping untill he was standing right in front of both of them.

” Ah! Damian. Look, there is Dada. ”

Liana saw Draco standing . She turned Damian to face him. And pointed at him with her finger.

The baby instantly stopped smiling. Draco watched it change his expression.
