Chapter 103 Back where she belonged

The realisation of the fact that the one you loved with all your heart, has now given his heart away to someone else, isn't easy... Is it?
Kiara stood in front of the wall in her old room. It had a wall so shiny that she could clearly see her entire reflection.
Her hand was spread on the wall as she looked herself up and down.
Her beautiful features were just the same. Young and vibrant, as if untouched by death.
She looked down at her lower half and touched herself down from the lower abdomen.
The skin was fit and fine. There was no distress left. No sign from the horrors that her body had to bear while she have birth to her child.
Did Draco forget all about it as well?
Had he really moved on?
She looked at her face as her fingers touched her cheeks. She stretched the soft and supple skin as it bounced on her perfectly sculpted facial features.
Then smiled sadly, " This is not the face he is in love with... "
Her eyes shined as they moistened.
" Will he even recognise me anymore as his queen? "
Her eyes flickered as they moved side ways very fast.
After what seemed like an eternity of staring she heaved a deep sigh.
" Yes, Ichiona... "
She turned towards her maid, who had been waiting outside.
She came inside with hushed steps and her head held low. Kiara could hear her whimpering.
" Come on now. Are you really that sad that I am alive? "
Kiara joked as but the poor maid burst into tears at those words. She couldn't hold back her overflowing emotions.
" My lady..... " She fell on her knees. " Only heaven knows how the kingdom has missed you... It feels so unreal that you are back... "
Kiara smiled softly as she turned away to look at her clothes. She opened the door of the cupboard as she placed her hands over them and walked as her fingers brushed over them all.
" My lady please do not touch them, they have all been worn. "
Ichiona leaped up from her position as if Kiara was about to touch poison.
" And who dared to do so? " Kiara asked with a mysterious smirk.
Ichiona stumbled back as she was asked that question.
" I... My lady... Umm... It was... You know.... The Dragon Lord's order... It was... "
She was looking straight at the floor.
Kiara walked up her and pulled her chin up to meet her own eyes.
" It was by the Dragon Lord's order for his choosen mate... Is that what you wanted to say? "
Ichiona moved back as soon as the words dropped off Kiara's lips.
" That vicious human... That wretched witch... That cunning woman, my lady. She slithered her way inside the Dragon Lord's harem... "
" Enough! "
Kiara's roar silenced Ichiona before she could hurl anymore insults.
" How dare you curse someone favoured by your own king. Who gave you the audacity to question the judgement of your Lord? You little Palace maid, how dare your tongue roam free against your master, behind his back. "
She swung her left hand as flicker of light left her finger tip. It grazed Ichiona's neck as she fell on her knees again, clutching her wounds.
" I beg your pardon my lady... Please forgive me... I was wrong. "
She began prostrating with such desperation as if her life depended on it. There was no mistake that Kiara looked angry while all Ichiona tried to do was try and be on her side. She was trying to convey her sympathy. But she was the Dragon Queen. Ichiona must have had kept that in mind.
" Go prepare the Royal hammam for me. It's been a while... I want to be presentable before my husband. "
" Yes,my lady, ", Ichiona ran without wasting anymore time.
Kiara turned towards her reflection once again,
" Hold on Draco. Hold on a few more moment. I know you are sad... But you will not be once I am there. "
******
It has to be me
Master was sitting alone in his room, drinking alone. It was clear that his mind was preoccupied and he looked a little disturbed.
His mind was consumed with thoughts of the queen's mysterious resurrection. He pondered over the strange circumstances surrounding her return to life, unable to shake off the feeling that something significant was at play. His brow furrowed as he brooded, lost in the depths of his contemplation.
Just as the silence of his solitude began to settle, the door to his room burst open, and Raba, rushed in, her scales shimmering with urgency. "Master!" Raba exclaimed, breathless from her haste. " I beg your pardon for this rudeness but you must come quickly! "
Master's eyes widened in surprise, his thoughts abruptly interrupted.
" There is something really urgent that you need to see! "
She literally grabbed Master's wrist and pulled him towards the Royal security chambers.
" Raba, what's happening? "
He asked unable to hold back his curiosity. For Raba to behave in this manner, he knew that it was something big.
" It's our Dragon Lord and Lord Lucian. There are reports of them entangled in a fight. In the human realm. "
Master stopped in his track in utter surprise,
" A fight? "
Raba was still trying to catch her breath,but she replied nevertheless, "It seems that they have been entangled in a long standing conflict, a feud that has escalated to a point of no return. Their disagreements and differences have finally erupted into a full blown battle, threatening not only their own lives but also the delicate balance between the dragon realm and the human realm."
Master knew very well the consequences of such a conflict. He knew the potential for devastation that lay within the immense power of dragons. The lives of countless innocents were at risk, and the delicate harmony that had been painstakingly maintained for centuries hung precariously in the balance.
"Tell me, Raba, where is this fight taking place?" Master asked, his voice steady but laced with urgency.
Raba quickly composed herself, her eyes focused on the task at hand. "The fight is apparently unfolding near the border between the dragon realm and the human realm at the moment. The clash of their powers has already caused tremors throughout the land, and nearby villages are in a state of panic. We must intervene swiftly to prevent further destruction.But there is another problem.They keep changing the field of their battle. They have been wrecking havoc all over the human world and we don't know where they will end up next. "
Master nodded solemnly, his mind filled with thousands of worries. He knew that he had to act swiftly and decisively
"Prepare our fastest winged companions, Raba," Master commanded, his voice resolute. "We must rally the dragons, calm their raging spirits, and find a resolution to this conflict. Lives depend on it."
Raba bowed deeply as a show of unwavering loyalty. "As you command, Master," she replied, before hurrying off to carry out his orders.
Master took a deep breath, his thoughts now focused on the imminent task at hand.
" Umm, Master... " Raba was suddenly back, " there is someone who wishes to see you. "
She bowed as Master saw Kiara standing behind her. He bowed at her as she did as well.
" My lady, what brings you here? "
He asked with a little surprise.
" Please carry on, I will have to leave! " Raba bowed to excuse herself but Kiara stopped her with her hands.
" Stay where you are. " She commanded.
" But... My lady... " Raba fumbled as she looked from Kiara to Master and back. She knew she had a very urgent task at hand but she knew she had no power to go against the Dragon Queen's order.
" Kiara, please don't stall her. She needs to tend to something urgent. "
Master tried to intervene when Kiara thundered,
" Do you have the authority to overrule what I say? "
Master looked taken aback.
The Kiara he knew would never raise her voice in front of him like that. But this one someone who had come back from the dead. Nothing aught to be normal about that.
" Of course I don't. I beg your pardon! "
Master bowed . " But you don't understand what is at stake... "
" I don't? But you do? " She asked with a voice more grave, " And how do you plan to stop the Dragon Lord? With the Elite force? Don't you realise you all are but mere mimes if he as much as orders you to stay put. You can't even override my orders but you aim to restrain your Lord when he is so ferocious. "
Kiara scoffed.
Master understood what she wanted to show them. She wasn't being rude.
" Then what do you suggest my lady? "
He asked Kiara . This time his voice was much more calm. Raba looked at her optimistically as well.
" Let me go to them. Do not send anybody behind me. "
She ordered as she looked at their faces which stared back at her with worry and disbelieve.
" We cannot possibly do that. It's dangerous. You just came back to life. We cannot loose you again. "
Kiara laughed. A sad melancholy but very soothing laugh.
" I will be fine. If anybody can stop them, it's me. It all started because of me. I must be the one to end it. Besides, I have things that I need to ask them. They both owe me answers and I have to claim them. "
With that she turned off as gracefully as was possible but it had such a force that made both Master and Raba cower.
Beneath her enchanting exterior was an indomitable power. With each beat of her steps gusts of wind were unleashed, and the ground trembled beneath her as she moved. Flames dance within her breath, capable of scorching the earth or warming it with gentle heat. In her eyes was the wisdom of centuries, a gaze that demanded respect and commanded authority.
