The candle was close to its end.As she watched the melting wax, the Princess was experiencing mixed feelings.
The Dragon King was more like an opponent than a husband. The Princess regretted threatening him with the remaining chapters of the Wayless Book. Only after this fierce collision did she realize the size of the power gap.
"How could I have been so foolish," she thought. "How could the Dragon King let a young woman such as I threaten him? I always thought his anger a bluff. At one time I took it to be true, and it struck fear in me, yet I remained defiant."
"In the end, the Dragon King still knows everything. Dragon King knew everything," the Princess reflected.
