On a cliff, Leona silently watched Lucien who was alone. She appeared and greeted him.

"Still thinking about that human?"

"Nothing to do with you."

"Lucien, can you pay attention to me just a little bit who really loves you."

Lucien was silent for a moment and then replied, "Feelings can't be forced."

Leona didn't accept it.

"What are the advantages of that person? Why do you even put your heart on a human that is not from our clan? Lucien. Look! I am here and will continue to wait faithfully for you. I love you, Lucien," explained Leona as she held his arm.

"Leona. Go freely. I don't want you to be bound by your feelings," Lucien gently let go of her hand.

"Because who I to be bound like this?" Leona sobbed and then flew off.

Behind the conversation of them, hidden in the darkness, the devil king, Tyrone was listening.

In Tyrone's castle...

Leona also faced his lord and kneeled on her right knee and the right hand crossed to her left shoulder.

"Leona pays respects to the Lord."

Leona felt strong energy approaching her. . Because she was not alert, she did not have time to dodge. She reflexively only blocked the attack with one hand to protect her face.

#Brakkkk##

She crashed into the wall and sat down helplessly against the great power. Tyrone also wrapped Leona with his tail and brought her closer face to face.

"You know what you did wrong, Leona?" With sharp eyes shining golden, Tyrone asked.

"I'm sorry. I don't know what I've done." Leona tried to remember what she had done wrong.

"Never again do you deliberately approach Lucien. This is a warning from me." Tyrone's entanglement is getting stronger. "Or your body will be scattered."

In such a precarious situation, Leander was heading to the hall and heard a commotion, then rushed to enter the hall and was taken aback to see Leona was in danger. He also pleaded with his lord, "What really happened? I ask for the generosity of the Lord to release Leona."

Tyrone then threw Leona and was immediately caught by Leander.

"Take good care of her so as not to be presumptuous," said Tyrone.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Are you here with the news?" asked Tyrone before Leander left.

"Yes. I got information that there is a princess who is visiting this kingdom."

"So?"

"This is just my opinion, is she the one we're looking for?"

"Hmm... You can come out."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

*****

Leander also brought the injured Leona. He carried with both hands towards the castle. Leaning against Leander's chest, she said, "Put me down."

"You're hurt like this how can I leave you? Don't worry we'll be there in short."

Arriving at the castle, Leander sat her on the bed.

"What happened actually?" asked Leander.

Leona was silent. Leander took a squeeze of medicinal water while smearing her cheekbones and the edges of her lips. Leander looked at her sad dreamy face,

"Are you still chasing Lucien? Didn't you already know that the lord will angry?"

"You know that I love Lucien? Unrequited love is more painful than this wound. You don't understand what I feel."

"Wake up, Leona!!"

Leona looked at Leander's face and emphasized.

"Why??? Why did you help me earlier?" And with mixed feelings of sadness that brought tears to her eyes, she continued, "Perhaps it would be better if I just died then because I felt that I had no purpose in life."

"I understand you. I understand your feelings more than anyone else!" said Lean.

"No! You won't understand!!"

Unexpectedly, Lean wrapped his arms around her and landed a kiss on her forehead. Leona was surprised and heard Lean's words,

Leona was speechless for a moment, but she tried to ask, "Why?"

"The feelings of love just appear. Yes, maybe the same as your feelings for Lucien. However, ."

Leona just nodded. She needed time to calm down. Leander stood up and said, "You better rest first and don't go anywhere."

Before he left, Leona said, "Thank you... Lean."

Lean stopped for a moment and replied, "It doesn't matter. Hope you get better soon." Then he walked away and smiled.

******

In the palace, there was a conversation between Sir Dion and Taddeus, "Taddeus... I'm the kingmaker who will make you the next king," said Dion.

"I've told you, dad. I'm not interested," replied his son.

"How long have you been following that prince? He doesn't deserve to be king. He's just lucky to be born as the Crown Prince."

"Stop dad. My wish is to be his right-hand man and protect him."

"You have skill and strength, the blood that flows in you is also a royal descendant. Be prepared. You are the hope for father. I can't be king, but if you, I'm sure you can."

"If you can't, why do you think that I can? It's because you are the king's brother. And so am I. Prince is my cousin."

The father was silent for a moment and then said, "Father has amassed a large following. The courage of a king is required, but the power of a kingdom depends on its followers. Many nobles support you."

"That's enough, dad. I have no interest in power. Don't make me an instrument for your greed."

Taddeus left.

"We'll see what will happens," Dion said. "You are the only hope."

********

In Tyrone's castle...

Tyrone looked out the window while stroking the head of the dragon perched on his left arm and he remembered the sage's words, The sage continued,

Instead of obeying his Master's advice, Tyrone wants to eliminate humans who could threaten his power.

Then Leander entered Tyrone's room "What did you call me, lord?"

Take this dragon with you. When the kingdom is opening celebrations five days later, spread fear in the land of Demetria. Bring the princess here to me."

"Yes, lord with all due respect."

On the other side, in the royal palace. They also explained a princess who would be a savior. The news was heard by the soldiers and maids too.

********

The long-awaited day arrived, there was a great dragon that roared over the land of Demetria. The people ran scared and immediately hid in the house.

"Hey... Hey calm down little dragon, they're getting scared," said Lean who was on the dragon's back together with Leona. Their purpose is to take the princess.

The dragon landed in the royal courtyard. . When they saw their arrival, everyone was frightened and ran for safety.

Lean and Leon got off the dragon's back and then walked into the palace. The knights and warriors tried to attack them but were easily defeated.

"I have no intention of fighting you guys. If you don't want to get hurt, hand over the princess to us."

"Who will take your word for it!" Taddeus shouted.

Taddeus ran towards him and jumped while swinging his sword with both hands which was then parried by Lean.

#Cring###

They looked at each other, "Ahaaaa. Great," said Lean.

"Protect the king!" Claes shouted at the knights.

The atmosphere in the palace was chaotic, Leona saw a prince with a lady. Without thinking, she guessed that it was a princess. She also attacked the prince until he fell. The princess tried to escape and immediately Leona looked for the veiled lady who had been with the prince and she finally found her. The princess complied. Then the princess's hands were tied behind her back, "This way you can't escape."

At such times, Claes emerges and re- attack Leona, "Let her go!!"

Leona warded off his attack with the sword in her right hand, "You'd better sit there," while kicking Prince Claes in the abdomen."

The princess shouted, "Prince!!! Don't hurt him! Didn't I follow what you wanted?"

"He comes to fight first," replied Leona.

Leona walked out of the palace while saying to Leander, "Lean, let's go back. Our work is done here."

"Okay."

Lean also threw a smoke bomb. Earlier he had said, "Goodbye. We'll continue later."

"Unlucky!!!" Taddeus is feeling annoyed.

They also fled riding dragons while leaving Leander's echoing laughter behind.

Claes rushed out of the palace and when he was about to ride the horse that had been prepared, the king called him,

"Prince ..." said the king, "You stay here. Let the knights chase."

"I can't, Your Majesty. I don't know what will happen to him. He is willing to sacrifice himself and as the prince of this land, I must be able to save my warrior.

Because the son insisted, even the father could not oppose him and then said, "Come back safely, my son."

"Yes, Your Majesty," replied Claes.

Then the king turned to Taddeus, "Please protect the prince. I put my trust in you."

"With all due my respect, I will, Your Majesty." With his right arm crossed over his shoulder while bowing to the king. His Majesty nodded. Claes, Taddeus, and the other warriors got on the horses and left together.

#Hiyaaaaa#

********

The dragon flew towards Tyrone's territory.

The beautiful scenery that has never been seen but also can not enjoy it. Because of a greater fear.

"It's scary flying at this height." In the mind of a princess. She also said, "Can you fly slowly? I almost fell."

"Hold on," Leander said.

"How can I hold on if my hands are tied behind my back like this?"

"Tch," Leona responded in annoyance.

The dragon flew. Sometimes turning, up, and down (like a roller coaster in the present era in the human world). It made her unable to keep her balance and ended up falling.

"Argh. Please. I'll die," she shouted.

"Leona please catch up."

"Huh."

Leona immediately flew down and caught the shoulder of her dress. And put it back on the dragon's back.

"My heart is pounding," said the princess.

The skin of this dragon's back feels hard when it touches my skin. His body parts are also uneven like jagged.

"Finally, we arrived at lord's territory," said Leander.

The forest is like an ordinary forest in general. No one thought that was their territory. Apart from that, the place looks peaceful. I was ushered into the lord's castle. It seems like an ordinary castle but it's a huge castle. When you get into it, it gets darker and darker. And we arrived at a wide hall where the leader sat on his throne.

"Welcome, Princess."

"What do you want?" asked the brave princess.
