18 Show her dominance.

Bree returned to her bedroom after dealing with the many things that she has to take care of, once she was inside her bedroom, she let her guards down and took a deep breath after closing the door. What she wanted to do the most was to lie down and sleep but instead, she crossed the room and headed towards the hearth where she poured a bowl of milk with cream in the book, she often read about brownies who would come out to clean the room once the master went to sleep. In return as a payment for their hard work, a bowl of milk should be left behind on the hearth or the corner of the room.

After she was done pouring the milk, she headed to the bed and crashed right on it. " I miss home," mumbled Bree though her home was often targeted by those crazy psychopaths, it was still her home. She didn't have to care about playing a role there, nor did she have to worry about whether her lies will get exposed at any moment. But one day as the Dragon Queen and she was already on the verge of collapsing from the stress, she had to go through.

She tossed on the bed clearly uncomfortable with the tight corset that she was wearing and then she sat up straight as she picked up the bell on the table and shook it. As soon as she did that, the bell jingled, though its sound was not loud, Bree knew that the servants of her castle would be able to hear her without much trouble.

Sure enough, five minutes later a maid knocked on the door. No, correction it wasn't a maid who walked inside, it was her lady in waiting. Bree narrowed her eyes as her lady in waiting walked inside, bold as brass without a single apology for her delay, though she was not used to playing as the Dragon Queen she once worked as an employee in a cutthroat corporation for so long, where everyone was waiting to step on another's head, so how can she not see what this woman was doing?

" What took you so long?" she asked as she placed her hands behind her on the bed and stretched her body, the corset was truly uncomfortable, she was missing her pj's and more importantly she was missing the whatsoever peace that she had back at her home.

" Your majesty?" The lady in waiting paused as she looked up, her face a mirror of surprise like she couldn't understand what she was talking about.

" You are my lady in waiting means your room is like at a ten-second distance from mine, yet it took you five whole minutes to knock on my door?" Bree said simply. " Even if you were walking with those slow a*s steps of yours, you should have arrived here in one minute why is it that you are five minutes late?"

The lady in waiting swallowed, she looked a bit nervous at first but who knows what went through her head because a second later she met her gaze head-on and uprightly said, " Your majesty, it's not that I wanted to be late. But after Harley was fired, I had to do a lot of things and my workload suddenly increased as well. I was just sorting out things when you called that's why——"

Her words got cut off when Bree glared at her, her golden eyes shimmering with anger as she sneered. " Ah, so this is it huh? You are trying to stand up for your dear friend?"

" No, Your majesty I——"

" This is the second time, you have spoken out of turn, Countess Agard." snapped Bree as her voice cracked harshly against the silence of the room. Her eyes turned a subtle red, as her skin slowly started to reveal the scales hidden under it while she glared at Lady Agard. She was away from home, killed unjustly by a maniac and now she was surrounded by a bunch of maniacs whom she knew nothing about, she was angry, anxious and unreconciled with her untimely death yet now she has to go through this as well." I appreciate that you are trying to show off your loyalty as her friend, but remember your position and remember mine, I am the Queen of this Empire, mother of all dragons. Your loyalty, Your life and Your everything belong to me from the day you swore the pledge to be my lady in waiting," She stood up from her bed and slowly moved towards Lady Agard, her alpha vibes clogging the air until Lady Agard's complexion started to turn pale. " I have given you everything, it's because of me that your family can enjoy the status as a count and live a comfortable life. But don't forget that if I can give you everything then I can snatch it all away without asking for your opinion, do you understand?"

Lady Agard dropped to her knees as she clutched her throat, she couldn't even breathe much less answer. Her entire face slowly turned blue as she stared at the Dragon Queen with horror in her eyes. For an omega, an alpha's vibes were like poison at this moment, she realised the difference between her and the Dragon Queen, before regaining her senses the Queen would at most hit someone by throwing things at them but this Queen she was different, she was ruthless to the point that she would watch her die in front of her and wouldn't even bat an eye.

With great difficulty, Lady Agard nodded and only then did Bree reel back her alpha vibes as she crouched down so that she was at eye level with Lady Agard and smiled before pinching her chin and making her look at her. " Remember this lesson for as long as you can Lady Agard and pick your choices carefully, one wrong move can kill you without you even knowing about it. Don't forget that I am not the old Queen who is still chugging down on alcohol, alright? This time your negligence will not be ignored, got it?"

" I got it, your majesty," answered Lady Agard as she started to shiver, though Bree felt that she didn't have to do something like this,but it was better for her to show her dominance before the female lead comes and tap dances on her head.

" Good, now help me change."
