Semua Bab Reborn as the Dragon Lord's Bride: Bab 1 - Bab 8

Drakon claimed my half-sister as his bride. That left me to marry the third prince, Lysander Veylan.I remembered him well. A gentle, patient man. In my past life, Vania had despised him for being merely a minor prince. She tormented him with every cruel scheme she could devise, and he endured it all with quiet grace. After she bore him a golden hatchling—a child that was not his—he dismissed his entire harem and gave her all his devotion.Now she had willingly thrown him away for Drakon's crown.Blind fool.The Choosing Ceremony ended. King Theron, feeling guilty, sent me generous gifts of gold and dragon jewels.When I returned home, my mother Mira was furious. She called Drakon an ungrateful wretch. My father Torin said nothing, but I saw the calculation in his eyes.That same day, my father raised Vania's mother Leora to the status of lawful wife. Vania became a trueborn daughter overnight.She found me in the garden, her chin lifted so high her eyes were nearly at the ceiling."Oh

When Drakon saw the King arrive with the royal healer, his expression darkened instantly."Do I look like a sick man?" he demanded.The healer trembled. He glanced at the King.King Theron frowned and waved his hand. "Examine the Crown Princess first."They were avoiding the real issue. If Vania was found to be ill, the dragon palace would save face. But if the problem was Drakon...I wondered how they would handle that.Drakon's eyes met mine. His gaze was dark and stormy, filled with endless fury."Seraphina," he hissed. "You came to mock me? What, you think because you married my brother you can produce a golden dragon?"He stepped closer. "Do not forget. My brother is only a Silver dragon. You may be Royal Gold, but I know exactly what kind of creature you are. You will never give birth to a golden dragon."He was so certain.Lysander moved to shield me. He raised one eyebrow. "Brother, why not let the healer do his work first?"Vania looked reluctant, but she could not refuse the

"What gives you the right to be so calm?" Drakon's eyes burned with killing intent. "Do you truly think I dare not kill you, Seraphina? I have dreamed of killing you in my sleep!"His hand tightened around my throat. My vision began to blur.Just as I opened my mouth to tell him about his infertility, a flash of silver light struck from outside. Drakon was thrown aside. I was flung from his grip—and then I fell into a pair of warm, strong arms.Lysander looked down at me, his face pale with worry. His voice trembled."Seraphina, are you all right?"I forced a small smile and shook my head. I was fine.In this second life, I would not be such a fool again. Besides, Drakon would not truly kill me. Not before he ascended the throne. His pride demanded that I live to see him father a golden dragon, to prove his blood was pure. In his mind, the blue dragon I bore in the past life was entirely my fault.Arrogant fool.Lysander helped me to my feet. His entire body radiated murderous intent.

"A snake?" The crowd gasped in disbelief.The Crown Prince of the dragon realm had fathered a golden snake?The color was the same, but the very species was wrong.Drakon's smile froze on his face. He lunged forward, grabbed the tiny serpent, and held it up to his eyes. His expression twisted with disbelief."Impossible! Impossible! This is not my get!"He flung the serpent aside. In one stride, he crossed to Vania and struck her across the face. His eyes burned crimson."Whore! What have you done?""I did nothing! I did nothing!" Vania's face went white. Terror filled her eyes.Laughter rang through the hall."Ha ha ha ha! The gods favor my Serpent Clan! A golden snake, born once in a century!"A man in dark robes stepped forward and carefully cradled the tiny serpent in his hands."Prince Caspian of the Serpent Clan!" an elder of the dragon court recognized him.The man saw he had been exposed. He turned to flee, but King Theron raised his hand and cast a binding spell."The Serpent
