《Princess of Dragons》Chapter 49
Advertisement
"My king!" A Royal Guard of the lowest rank quickly burst into the office. "There is a grave problem!" he spoke, out of wind as though he'd run from Crocus and all the way here with a dragon chasing his hind.
The king in question slowly looked up at the man.
"Speak," he finally said, seeing the panicked look on the boy's face. One of the princess' guards. Great.
The man breathed in heavily, trying - and failing - to regain his composure.
"It- it is the... princess.. my king!"
While Lodin sighed exasperatedly, Sergon immediately looked worried. "Is she hurt?!"
The guard shook his head. "No." He paused. "Well, not physically."
Sergon breathed a sigh of relief at that at least, even if his tension wasn't completely gone.
"Tell us what happened, then."
The guy immediately straightened his back. "It seems she had an unpleasant conversation with Mistress Victoria, Commander," he spoke clearly, having regained his breath at last. "She ran off towards the dragon and flew off. Seemed quite upset," he explained, his calm demeanor betrayed by his wavering voice.
Lodin covered his face in his hands. So that feeling from this morning that this day would be a drag to get through wasn't wrong, then. That princess was being dramatic just because of what happened this morning.
He looked back at the still waiting guard.
"There is nothing to be done about it now, unfortunately. All we can do is wait until she returns of her own volition." He received a single nod from the guard. "If you spot her, report it immediately."
The guard nodded again, giving a stiff salute. "It shall be done."
Lodin nodded towards the door. "Then you are dismissed" He watched as the boy exited the room in an inelegant hurry.

As such, silence conquered the room for quite a while after that. Lodin knew exactly why his friend was keeping quiet and had no wish to unfold whatever was cooking in the other's mind.
"What are you going to do about this?" Sergon stiffly asked, likely already aware what the reply would be.
"Nothing," Lodin unceremoniously said. To the point one might think it to be lack of care. "Once she took to the sky on that thing, she became untraceable."
Sergon snorted. "So- what? You are simply going to be sitting on your hands, doing absolutely nothing?" he asked, voice rising with every word spoken.
"Yes." Lodin didn't even look up. "I am going to wait until she returns again by her own volition."
"How can you be so sure she will even return? She might very well have decided to fly back to her own kingdom - you know that as well as I do."
"Yes, perhaps she has," he agreed with a sigh, knowing very well that was likely exactly what she had done. "At any rate, we will know at this hour tomorrow."
He felt his friend's fierce glare on him. "You are unbelievable, Lodin!" He threw his hands up in the air in defeat.
"I believe she will be back. At least if she is even remotely as stubborn as her two siblings," Lodin argued.
"That is exactly what I am worried about." Sergon started walking towards the door.
Lodin followed the Royal Guard's Commander's back with his eyes.
"And just where do you think you are going?"
Sergon whirled around and glared at him. "I am going after her."
Lodin narrowed his steely eyes. "You will do no such thing."

"And why is that? Do you not care a wink for her or the only alliance we have? The only edge we really have in this war?"
"Of course I do," the king said. "If nothing has changed by this time tomorrow, something must indeed be done." He met the other man's eyes. "Besides, you would never be able to catch up to her now."
Sergon scoffed. "The faster I go, the faster I will arrive in that kingdom."
"One day will make no difference in this case." The king's eyes narrowed at the sight of the Commander's expression. "This is an order, Commander."
Sergon's eyes widened for a fraction of a moment. It wasn't often Lodin pointed out that line between them.
"I understand, my king." Sergon calmly replied, a hand to his chest as he bowed.

The Big Book of Yanderes
No one asked for this and I know its a bad idea to handle like 5 books at once but I honestly don't care :3. I'm afraid someone's gonna take my idea so basically this is a bunch of one-shot scenarios but they're all yandere and they're all different types (neko, shy, stalker, demon etc.). I wouldn't mind doing SOME real anime characters but I'm scared they'll all suck :). The art work is mine I'm sorry its kinda sorta really really bad but I tried! Hope you enjoy~ ;))

The Mischievous Mrs. Maxfield
***The wrong girl is sometimes The Right One.*** Charlotte Samuels thought she'd be stuck waiting tables at Marlow's until all her debts are paid off-in about ten thousand years or so. She definitely didn't expect a marriage proposal from the arrogant Brandon Maxfield who was blackmailed by his father to make her his wife if he didn't want his least favorite cousin to run Maxfield Industries. Charlotte's instinct was to say HELL NO! but she's stumped by a few obstacles: 1.) His old man Martin Maxfield is dear to her heart and has been recently deteriorating in health. 2.) She gets a million dollars if she stays married to Brandon for a year. 3.) She would rather like the opportunity to teach the attractive but awfully rude man a few lessons he didn't think he needed from a 'teenage gold-digger' which was his term of endearment for her on their first date-er, business meeting. So what's a girl got to do, right? Sure, she's young and a little rough around the edges but there's something her would-be husband didn't know about her yet-she's nothing like he ever expected. Thrust into the glitzy world a standard-issue Mrs. Maxfield would fit perfectly and rule with impeccable social grace, Charlotte will either have to force herself into the mold or break free of it, risking what little she has left for everything that she can gain.*** Copyright © 2014 by Nina Tippett.
