Chapter 27.Damian with Liana in the garden
” LIANA! ”
Draco’s voice thundered as he walked upto her direction. She looked puzzled.
Damian’s expression rapidly changed too, along with his eye colours.
He was smiling and laughing just the moment before Draco arrived. Then went perfectly expression less on his arrival. The moment he yelled Liana’s name , his face took the expression of anger in them.
Draco watch him , but ignored.
” How dare you bring my son out here like this? That too without my permission? ”
He was standing towering over the two. It reminded Liana faintly about their first encounter.
” Draco calm down. You are over reacting. Damian had been indoors for too long. He was craving some sunshine. Look how happy he is… ”
Liana faced towards her son.
Draco watched the boy rapidly hide his anger and give her her a smiley face. Liana winked and smiled at him back.
Draco silently walked upto Liana. He grabbed her back so she was now directly staring at his face.
” Did you forget the treat the lurks over him in this kingdom? ”
His voice was soft and it held no expression.
” I know that Draco. But you can not lock him up merely for that. He is a baby. He needs his share of sun , rain and weather to grow up. You can’t deprive him of that just because you want him to grow up into a worthy successor for yourself. You need to take it easy and slow. ”Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Draco did not answer.
He wrapped his arm around the two.
The next moment Liana found themselves in the harem.
” There.
You can play as much as you want to with him here.”
He swished one hand and a door opened at the back. It lead to a beautiful entrance. One that Liana had not seen since she was there.
“Wow!
What is this place? ”
Liana was stopping herself from the urge to run there head on.
She could see a beautiful lake that opened in front. Surrounded by what seemed like a million of flowers.
” You can take him there for as much rain, sun and dirt as you like. But don’t even think of stepping out of here without my permission.
Am I clear? ”
His voice had that expressionless superiority once more.
Damian too looked excited to explore the new wonderland that his father had just opened.
Liana nodded and was about to head that way when Draco stopped her by her arm.
” Huh? ”
she turned towards him and asked.
” I will be heading North. I need to check our military garrisons.
You must not entertain anybody inside my harem , I repeat, none, except Ichiona.
Is that clear? ”
Liana nodded.
” Don’t be foolish enough to make a mistake like you did the last time. When I am not around, there will be nobody who will act as your saviour. ”
Liana thought Draco was too full of air.
” Actually last time you were going to leave me to be blown off to pieces. It was Lucian who had actually saved me at that time. I would have been floating around as a ghost in your realm by now if I was at your mercy. ”
Liana almost scoffed as she finished her statement.
Draco could not deny but Liana could not mistake the red of anger building up on his cheeks.
He didn’t wait there for another second and popped off.
” Damian. Let’s go. ”
She darted off as well along with her baby boy in tow.
He giggled and laughed as she ran, waving him like a plane in the air.
Her legs stopped as the actual landscape met her eyes.
It was way too beautiful.
Too beautiful for words to describe.
The flowers were all in the shades of white, pink and lavender. They were emitting a pleasant, smoothing fragrance. Which was too mild yet too touchy to ignore.
The lake was the shade of the lightest blue. No ripples. No waves. Calm and serene. Elegant in all aspect.
There was a small boat at one end. A cute little wooden miniature of a pirate ship. It had golden engravings in different places. It even had a tiny Black flag which depicted the Dragon King.
Liana smiled at the details.
She walked further in. The place seemed to end like a balcony. Rather a cliff. It was hanging at an edge. There was a steep fall where it went straight for a plunge but it was covered with waterfalls. Transperent like glass. Liana could see the sky beyond but it stopped her fall . She could not step out of it. But she could sit there and admire the nature outside.
Liana made Damian lean into a sitting position between her legs. He too was soaking in the tranquility and the feel of the light green grass. It almost felt like a silk version of velvet. So soft it was almost slippery. But it didn’t make one loose their grip.
” isn’t it lovely out here Damian. I wonder how I had not seen this place before. Or was it hidden on purpose? ”
Liana was lost in her thoughts when Damian’s tiny hands against her chin brought back her attention.
” Yes my baby, is there anything that you want? ”
Damian pointed towards the boat.
Liana smiled.
” Oh! My little pirate wants to set sail. ”
she mimicked the pirate voice in a terrible way. But it was enough to make Damian roll over with laughter.
The mother and son headed straight towards the water. Before they could take a step on it, Liana thought she saw a comet cross across the sky beyond the waterfall.
She knew what comets implied in this realm. It was probably a dragon going somewhere. She wondered who it was. Then turned her attention towards the boat ride at hand.
She placed Damian on the boat and was trying to untie the ropes that were attached when suddenly the ropes burnt and vanish.
Liana almost fell in horror.
Then she heard Damian giggle at her fall.
It was his going. He had set the rope on fire in an attempt to untie it faster.
Liana had almost forgotten. This was not her biological child.
He was a dragon whom she was raising.
