Love & Hate: Gruesome Fate

[Grayfia's POV]

After endless anger, there could only be one following emotion, sadness.

I sat master on our bed, his gaze was filled with sadness… I don't know what this represents to him, but this is clearly a harsh blow.

"Master…"

"Destiny and I… are complicated" he began.

"What do you feel for her?"

"I love her…" He confessed to me, I wasn't expecting that... he always complained to me how 'annoying' she was and how he didn't want to ever listen to her, how come he loves her now!?

I felt jealous, so much jealousy... he said so clearly and without the slightest bit of doubt, he was in love with that dragoness.

"Destiny has the ability to place a part of her soul in others through the use of the fate laws…"

"…" I listened attentively to everything he had to say, merely pulling his head inside my chest and caressing his hair as we sat on the bed.

"She has protected me countless times doing this… the first time was my sister…" He laughed in self-mockery.

"Huh?"

"She took over my sister's body… to protect me from the bastard that wanted to abuse her and kill me, she used my sister as a sacrifice"

!!!

"She took over my mother's body to protect me as well against one of my father's enemies; sacrificing her".

"W-Wha-"

"She did that so many times. More often than not it would be someone that I didn't care about... but sometimes... it would be someone important to me, a teacher, an adoptive daughter, a friend... anyone. It didn't matter to her as long as I was safe. I asked her to stop but she didn't. She took over my wife's body once… thankfully I managed to stop it and save her with my own strength, I was fed up".

"Then how can you love her!?" I can't conceive it, I would resent such a person to the end of my days!

"Because she had always been there… Grayfia, from the beginning... even since I was a weak youngling, she appeared before me at first and held me… back then she placed the primal spark inside me. She was my first love" His gaze looked down to the floor, I had never seen a master like this.

"She always told me my potential was great. From the beginning she expected me to choose 'Time'… she already knew our fate together".

"Master…"

"Destiny formed me ever since I was an immensely young dragon… to be her perfect mate, it is impossible for me to not love her. But I also hate her, she took everything important from me, everything..."

"Then…"

"When the moment came for me to ascend… I choose gold instead, for Monique's sake and also… to rebel against Destiny".

!!!!

"It was me who betrayed Destiny first… she had directly or indirectly killed a lot of important people to me… even if it was to save me. I couldn't love her without hating her".

It was such a heart-wrenching story, I never expected master to have such a relationship with someone, should I hate her? should I be thankful to her? she caused him so much pain, but it is also thanks to her that he's here with me, alive... I don't know.

"Ever since I made that choice she resented me, but keeps trying to convince me to forsake Primordial Gold and choose Primordial Time" His gaze finally raised up to look at the ceiling with a smile that hurt me.

"But even then, after all that… I never expected her to want to give such a vicious blow… to want to break my heart, make me fall in love with you… just so she could take you away and cause me pain, I'd rather she'd just stolen my treasures than this... and it wasn't the first time, how many women have come to my realm with that intention... all of them sent by her? I can't believe it... I can't believe you'd do this, Destiny"

"…" I couldn't say anything, there were no words I could possibly say to make him feel better.

"Even from her, I never expected this…"

[Richter's POV]

No one could possibly understand how much love and appreciation I had for that 'hag'.

Even if we constantly fought and I wanted to forget about her. She was my first love.

When I was but a beaten small dragon, she appeared before me in the first of the Haze Kingdom of Dragons.

I was going through the forest, beaten up after fighting for a young Dragoness I wanted as my mate yet wasn't strong enough to get. My father being the king changed nothing, I still had to fight for what I wanted, even food. Eneva wasn't going to help me either, she didn't want me with that Dragoness.

During those times, I saw a gigantic light Dragoness in the forest, it was love at first sight, she was the most beautiful Dragoness I had seen at that moment or in the future.

Instead of rejecting me, she held me and healed my wounds, calling me her 'beloved' before disappearing.

I was confused and thrilled. But we kept seeing each other once a year… until she gave it to me, the primal spark.

At that time I didn't even know that she was giving me the multiverse's most coveted treasure. She said it was a gift and her sign of love for me.

Years went through and I became stronger, but never realised what her identity was… once a year she'd appear before me, regardless of where I was… even if I was in a wasteland, she'd still appear and cuddle me.

I was madly in love with that Dragoness, but she never allowed me to mate with her, not until I became 'stronger'.

And fucking hell stronger I became… I wanted her. I defeated everything and anyone, thirsty for power and treasures to impress her.

I drowned my frustration in Dragoness when I realised her ploys, using anyone I held dear to sacrifice them for my sake. I didn't know what to do... should I keep chasing after her? should I stop? all of those doubts would stop when she appeared before me once again, to take me in her wings.

Love her or hate her… in any case, if she wanted to make me stronger, she was achieving it. In the end, she achieved it, I became the Primordial Dragon God. But what was the price?

As I ruminated in the thoughts of my mind, Grayfia pushed me down on the bed softly.

"Master, I'm here for you… I might not be as strong or mighty… but I'm here for you".

"I know…" I said, she stood up in front of the bed and her golden maid attire began to fall as she blushed.

"Grayfia…"

"As your maid, it is my duty and endeavour to make you happy, satisfied and comfortable… a second of your sadness is a lifetime of pain for me, master".

She knelt in front of me and began to pull down my trousers, I was on the edge of her bed.

My member came out, rather active since I was seeing her naked in all her splendour with nothing but her stockings, garter belt, panties and brazier.

Grayfia took it confidently, still blushing like never before and began to pump it.

"Leave everything to me master, I'll serve you and get rid of all that sadness. There are no words I can convey to make you feel better, that's why, please allow me to speak with my actions"
