Chapter 15. Liana’s POV – inside a dragon’s harem
The wind gushed like crazy as soon as I put my first step.
” Looks like a storm is coming, ”
I timidly observed, holding tight onto the lady’s hand.
” Doesn’t look like a storm to me. ”
she stood tall in front of me, looking as the bells rang.
There were a million lined up at the entrance. Almost in a pattern. It looked familiar. But I could not remember how.
They were ringing in a rhythmic pattern. Even my naive self could understand that much. Ichiona seemed deeply engrossed in it.
” What is it? ”
I asked again.
” It’s the spirit charmer my lady. We better hurry inside. ”
She grabbed my hand and then it felt like we became jell-o and slid inside.
“Whoa! What was that! Cool. ”
I flipped my hands as of trying to check for superpowers. Freshly gained.
” It’s my water power, my lady. I didn’t want the chaos outside to cause you any pain. ”
Ichiona explained with a warm smile.
She looked very elegant. Her features too were very sharp. But other than that, she just looked human.
” Umm, Ichiona, are you a human like me? How can you live amongst Dragons? ”
I had to ask.
She flashed that warm smile again.
” I too am indeed a Dragon. But of a different kind than our Masters. The one’s in the kingdom, running the governance of the realm are mostly fire dragons Or metal ones. I am a Earth Dragon. There are also other kinds. We have our specialities. Which determines our duties. ”
She sweetly explained.
” Cool! Cool! ”
I must have looked like a lunatic clapping in that state.
She looked at me from head to toe, then politely said.
” My lady, we need to take you to the hammam. To get you prepared. ”
“Hammam? As in a bath? Wow! Sounds superb. ”
I really needed one at that time.
” But prepared for what exactly? ”
I had forgotten to ask.
” Ahem! Tonight. ”
She looked at me and I thought I knew what that implied.
“Tonight as in? ”
I had to clarify it. I was in strange lands. With strange beings.
” For the master Draco. Umm, in his bed. ”
Damn! The shit was true.
Draco was going to use the mate card actually. I had thought it was just part of his plan. But no. I should have known better than to trust unknown men.
NOW WHAT WAS I GOING TO DO.
I knew I would have no power over him. There was nowhere I could run from this place.
Was I seriously going to be raped by this dragon?
I needed a serious back up plan.
” My lady? ”
Ichiona’s voice brought me back from my thought’ trail.
I needed to act as normally as possible. In the meantime I would be coming up with a plan.
” Umm, Ichiona, is it normal for dragon’s to have human mistresses and wives? ”
I asked as she untangled the mess of my hair.
But my question made drop something on the ground. I happened to catch her hesitant gaze as she bent to pick it up in that instant.
” I dare not be rude my lady. ”
she fumbled.
” Please tell me. ” I pressed her hands, ” tell me as a friend. ”
” Dragons do take in human’s as sex slaves. Some times as mates. But never as wives. And Dragons can’t have mistresses. ”
I didn’t quite understand.
” Why? ”
” Dragons are blessed with only one partner for their eternal life. Only a dragon body is able to bear a dragon child in its womb. But… ”
” But what? ”
I needed to know more.
“There were dragons who impregnated human women before. ”
” Then that’s possible. ”
I asked as if I was dying to get pregnant.
” Yes. But none of the mother could survive the child birth. So, taking a human wife is forbidden in the realm. Wives are the only ones who can be blessed with a dragon’s lawful child. ”
she tried her best to explain.
” What about the sex slaves you talked about? ”
“Ah! Those were women used by dragons for sexual pleasure. If a dragon’s wife died or she was unable to fulfill his desires. ”
” Oh! Then what are the mates? ”
I asked cautiously. This was the category that currently applied to me.
” Mates aren’t like slaves. They are more like what you just said, mistresses. But they can only be human. Dragons cannot keep a dragon woman as a mistress, since dragons can have only one lawful dragon wife in his entire life. ”
I nodded. It definitely was more dignified a position than a sex slave.
” What about the women then? Do they enjoy sex slaves as well? ”
A wild fantasia arose in my mind where Draco and Lucian were both pounding over a bare body, that was mine.
” NEVER. ”
“What! ”
Her shout almost knocked me off the ground.
Were dragons able to read minds as well?
Did I get caught with my dirty thoughts?
” Dragon women can only have a dragon husband. Having human husbands are forbidden. We can’t even talk about it inside the palace. ”
She indicated putting a finger on my lips.
So the boys got to have all the fun.
Anyways, it didn’t have anything to do with me anyways.
” Your hair is untangled. Let me pamper you a little before you get in for your bath. ”
She made me change into a very soft see through material. It felt softer than the finest silk that I had ever worn. And man, I had the best of them.
I was laying down as she had instructed me to after I had changed.
Just then I thought I heard something fall.
I got up immediately and went out to check.
My heart stopped.
God, I could have wished for anything else.
It was Lucian. He was standing there in his effortless charm. But he had his jaw drop as soon as I came out.
Then I realised.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
I WAS STANDING INFRONT OF HIM ALMOST NAKED.
Damn.
I ran back inside crisscrossing my hands across my body.
