The Reincarnation of Fire Elemental Dragon

Elena was passing by the room with its locked door as her ears captured the moaned sounds of Victoria and hashed panting sounds that she believed belonged to Richard. The young girl sniffed and wiped her nose, she decided to walk through to the backyard.

Spreading her sight to the surrounding, she saw everything was still in its place. Elena hunkered down to watch something on the ground, she picked a petal of a white rose. She sighed and threw it back to the ground after finding out that the petal had withered.

Her name was Elena Crude. As she was rough every time, she got mad easily with the unfair treatment that people threw at her. Elena was an orphan, and she was brought into the same orphanage as Victoria. She was ten years younger than Victoria, and that was the reason why she kept obeying Victoria as she perceived that woman as her elder sister.

Opposing Victoria who seemed calm and womanly as she chose to become a dancer after she left the orphanage, Elena was grown with the ability to adapt and handle some mockeries from her peers, making Elena to become more aggressive and less feminine in her appearance. Elena followed Victoria wherever she went. At the time, Victoria worked as a dancer, to gain some money for buying each of them some food and giving Elena a normal life. Victoria had sensuality that was rarely possessed by average dancers. She was a dancer who could seduce not only her body movements while she was dancing but also her eyes. Many men were crazy in love with her, although Victoria only played their feelings to get some money for her and Elena's living expenses in the Wallachian.

Victoria was twenty years old when King Dragon found her dancing in a private place where the royal families of the Wallachians usually had their meals. King Dragon was attracted to her after he watched her dancing and Victoria seduced him with her flirtatious glances.

What happened the next days and nights, King Dragon paid to make efforts to get some physical contact with Victoria. He often sent Victoria some food and beverages, gold, some pieces of jewelry, some beautiful clothes and gowns but also some money for both Victoria and Elena to spend. King Dragon never got interested in getting to know Elena since that girl appeared less feminine and rough in her attitude.

"You should learn how to attract a man in your life, Elena!" one day Victoria warned Elena after they got home from King Dragon's dining invitation.

Elena pulled out her mantle. "Why do you speak about it?" Elena looked quite irritated with her warning.

"You should choose your man as your protector, Elena!" Victoria scrolled down her stockings and kept those in a wooden cabinet.

"I can take care of myself!" Elena took a seat and stared at Victoria who changed her gown into a night dress.

"Change your clothes. Keep yourself hygienic!" again Victoria acted as an old sister to her dissident little sister.

Elena sniffed harshly. She did what Elena asked her to do since she respected her and promised to keep Victoria guarded from any evil things.

She got on the bed and sat beside Victoria that was ready to recline herself as they shared the same bed in a small house where they could live because King Dragon had rented it for them. "Will you marry King Dragon, Victoria?" She asked curiously.

Victoria inhaled deeply. "I don't know yet!" She turned her back from Elena and covered her face with a pillow. It seemed that she tried to hide something from Elena's observing eyes.

"I saw how attracted to you; he was!" Elena said in emphasizing tone. "Will you marry that old man? How about Richard, your first love?"

That name had its magnetic pulling on Victoria's ears as she turned around and dragged her head away from the pillow. "Did you meet him?" she asked Elena in more curious sight.

Elena smiled as she reached for something from her pants pocket. "He gave me this for you!" she showed Victoria a beautiful necklace with a beautiful pendant. "I promised him to become a mediator between him and you, with one condition!" she paused as Victoria reached for the necklace and its pendant from her hand.

Victoria examined the necklace and put it close to her chest as she appreciated Richard's gift to her.

"Did you ask him for money?" Victoria asked her eagerly. "Don't do it, please! I'll be ashamed of that when I'll meet him." She gazed at Elena.

Elena shook her head. "Of course not, I asked him to teach me how to use a sword and some defense mechanism from any attackers!" She smiled widely.

"Did you ask him to teach you how to fight? My gosh, you are a girl, Elena, you are not a boy!" Victoria disagreed with her.

"I told you that my dream is making myself a good fighter and a protector for you and myself!" Elena insisted as she rested herself next to Victoria.

"If you marry King Dragon or he will make you one of his mistresses, I must live my things, Victoria!"

"I promise you it won't happen!" Victoria inhaled.

Two years later, Victoria was working as a dancer with a high-value contract in the Wallachian and the Emerald Drake. King Dragon had polished her talent in dancing and made her the most highly paid dancer among the Triangulum Anatolia Empire and its alliances. Victoria had made a lot of money and success but also fame that attracted her old love, Richard, to come back for her.

Knowing that Richard and Victoria had a special relationship, King Dragon seemed quite jealous as he decided to put and keep Victoria in his palace as one of his three favorite mistresses. Since that day, Victoria tried to not carry King Dragon's child as she hoped her womb would carry Richard's child.

Separating from Victoria, Elena decided to join a military camp in the Wallachian. She learned many things that she needed to fight and started her career as a professional hired protector. Elena paid an act of revenge to King Dragon who forced Victoria to become his mistress by acting as a mediator for secret meetings between Richard and Victoria in her mansion that she bought with her own money, as a professional fighter and a protector for noble women from any royal families.

"How is your business, Elena?" Richard asked her at the time he came out of the room. Victoria walked behind him with a big smile on her face.

Elena took a seat, crossing her legs as her eyes were staring at the backyard of her mansion which fulfilled with growing roses. "Nice!" she smiled at Richard and Victoria handed her a glass of wine.

"As you see, Richard, my Elena had succeeded in making her own money. Is that right, my dear?" Victoria smiled and put a kiss on Elena's forehead. "Keep saving your money, my dear. We don't know what will happen next in our life! Don't go waste your money to entertain your men! You are a very generous boss! Too generous!" Victoria tried to warn her.

Elena sniffed. What Victoria did was something that Elena missed to have for a long time. She never got that affection from Victoria again since King Dragon kept her as a mistress in his palace at the Emerald Drake. Earlier, she felt quite jealous of Richard because she knew how long Richard and Victoria would spend inside the room together. After having Victoria's caresses on her hair and a gentle kiss on her forehead, she started to feel guilty about asking for money that Victoria asked her to deliver the message to someone's room before the ship had sailed from the Wallachian port. She did that because she needed Victoria's attention instead of her money. Though, she would spend the money to give the best service to Victoria and Richard during their stay in her mansion.

"I heard that you're getting a difficult job from King Wallachian, Elena!" Richard asked her.

"His head costs a lot of money!" Elena smirked.

"Who is that poor guy?" Richard tried to find out as he felt curious that King Wallachian's sister was pregnant with a guy who had become a target of Elena's next mission.

"The son of Knight Thunder from The Kernellithium!" Elena sipped her wine as her eyes still stared in front of her.

"Louis, the son of Knight Thunder!"

Richard munched some herbal leaves to refresh his mouth. "Did he make the princess get pregnant with him?"

"No. But, it should be someone who must be put as a black sheep, the blaming goat for someone who did it, but no one could blame and assault him!"

Richard turned his head to Elena. "How could he be blamed for that?"

"He was caught inside the room with the princess!" Elena answered with a cold tone. "I believe that someone in a much higher position had done it to the princess, but the princess had not dared enough to say the truth. Poor princess and her baby girl!"

"Who do you suspect so?" Victoria asked her impulsively.

Elena sneered at her. "You know who I mean, Victoria. Don't you see that he has come and visited the Wallachian quite often for his business consortium and the ambassador of the Triangulum Anatolia Empire's businesses!"

"You suspect King Dragon?" Victoria and Richard asked her at the same time.

Elena didn't say any words, but her lips created a cynical smirk. Her eyes were sparked with some fires of desire to take revenge. People called her name 'Fire Dragon' in that business world instead of Elena Crude since they knew how fiercely and brutally, she could be in accomplishing her target. Some people who knew Elena since she was a child believed that she was carrying the blood of a murderer and warrior from her unidentified parents.
