*** I pulled the human up and dived straight for her lips.
I knew exactly what I was doing. ***
There was clearly something going between Draco and the human.
And I don't mean it only romantically.
They were upto something.
That son of Draco's came back with some disease. That was what the hot gossip was around the palace.
I wanted to go check it myself but there were special guards appointed around the harem. Quite a new concept I should admit.
He didn't even bother to do that for Kiara when she was pregnant.
Psst! I must be out of my mind. Why do I keep digging her out of the grave all the time. She chose to bury herself in it. Nobody could blame anybody else. She had the choice of taking the herbs and aborting the baby. But she chose to give up her core for him.
There was another thing that was surprising.
Draco ran to meet the Master the moment he returned from anywhere.
I heard that this time it was the other way round. The Master had been trying to meet Draco and he had been throwing random excuses at him.
In fact he wasn't even allowed to treat Draco's son. They said the human was feeding him some medicine that she brought from the human world.
How fascinating.
A Dragon being raised a human in entirety.
" Lord Lucian , the Dragon Lord summoned you at his chamber! "
Another miracle. He never let me inside his room, even when we were infants. I used to admire and idolise him once upon a blue moon, decades back. He must have known about the reality of my birth before I did, from his wicked mother. He made sure that he kept his distance and only talked or interacted when was necessary.
It would be interesting to see what dire cause brought him to me.
" Lucian. Come take a seat! "
He pointed at the chair not opposite to , but beside him. I was enjoying this. It was getting more suspicious.
The next couple of minutes were wasted in calling for more wine and stuffs to eat. Then a few more were wasted with him talking about the weather and stuffs.
A clear sign of Draaco getting nervous. Which not just rare, it was impossible.
" Cut the crap! "
I held his hand as he tried calling for more refreshments.
" Just tell me what it is. You and I both know we are not sitting here to feast! "
He clearly was struggling, getting words to articulate out of his mouth.
" Lucian, Damian is missing. I need your help to track him down! "
That was not happening. Kiara gave her life for that little brat. He just didn't tell me casually that he was missing while he and his human mistress were putting up an act.
" It was Marcus Lucian "
His next words blew me off my ground.
" Marcus? Our Marcus. From the lab? "
I knew nothing about this development, yet he and I shared a common secret.
Was Draco doubting that I had ,with him, any link?
My hands retreated which I had banged in surprise over the table.
Then the puzzles of his behavior started fitting.
It wasn't me that he was doubting, he was doubting his own teacher, his Master!
He found nobody else to confide into so he had to call me in as his last option.
I inwardly broke off laughing.
My laugh was about to show on my face but I maintained my composure and asked,
" Where is Marcus? Why don't we torture Damian's location out of him? "
Draco sighed. I knew that sigh. It was a guilty sigh that he just gave. I was correct. He killed the only lead that he had. That thick head Dragon.
" Why are you trusting me with this over Master? "
I had to ask the question before I officially jumped into the case.
" Because of Kiara! "
How dare he bring her name so casually up!
" You would think I was naive but I knew all along how you felt about Kiara, in your heart! "
Of course he did. It was most probably the number one criteria for picking her name. Just to watch me suffer.
" I know you, of all people would never conspire against him. You are the only one in this kingdom, who I can ask for help! "
How presumptuous.
" Tell me everything from the beginning. Your earth quest, ambush, the kidnapping. Describe every situation! "
I should have had taken what the humans call popcorn and laid back.
It took him awhile, wrapping everything up, briefly.
So that sly Marcus had been cooking up such a conspiracy , without my knowledge, right under my nose, all these while!
It was inevitable that I taught these rouges who the real rebel was in the Dragon lands. I stood up and left without greeting Draco on my way out.
For Kiara huh! That little brat did have her face and scent.
Only heaven knows how I had survived days and nights, watching Kiara walk around with a baby inside.
She looked happy which made it worse.
Being married to Draco was one thing.
Having his child inside her made me feel sick.
Each day that sight tortured me. Distorted my mind. Till it transformed me into something entirely that I was not. Performer of acts that I will be regretting for eternity.
Now I got leverage.
Would Kiara smile at me if she saw me trying to rescue her lad?
I went straight for the messenger.
I needed to get some words out and find out certain things. I was going to do it my way. Not under Draco's command.
My first stop was at his harem. I needed to talk to that human.
Surprisingly, this time I wasn't stopped at the entrance.
" Oh my God! Lucian! You startled me! "
She was in her inner wears, getting her hair dried.
The maids in attendance left giggling with hand over their mouths. More juicy palace rumor was on the way!
I looked at them, peeping at me.
I pulled the human up and dived straight for her lips.
I knew exactly what I was doing.
Technically she was just a sex slave. Brothers could easily taste and share them. There was nothing illegal about that. Besides Draco would not dare question me about this at the moment. He needed my assistance
This was my perfect timing.
