Saved By The Mad Duke

Aideen Ruan, though a royal princess, was always unwanted due to the circumstances of her birth. Born blind to a hostage concubine, she possessed an intriguing beauty; however, her disability rendered her utterly useless to the royal family. Even when the struggling Count Crueder reluctantly agreed to take Aideen as his wife to secure the royal dowry, her life failed to improve. A year into their marriage, Aideen's inability to produce an heir sealed her fate. The princess was destined for exile to the Temple, consigned to spend the remainder of her days in isolation and abandonment. Contrary to her anticipations, instead of the Temple, Aideen found herself within the cold walls of Duke Tillian Valentine's castle. Duke Valentine, the last scion of the once-revered Valentine family that ruled the Kingdom before the "Fratricide Rebellion", now presided over the desolate Northern lands. Faced with fear and confusion, Aideen expected her life to perpetuate its cycle of misery, only to discover that Duke Valentine might hold the key to a new opportunity, a chance at a life she had never envisioned. "You bewitched my body and soul. Put an intoxicating spell on me, shackled my heart to yours with your magic. If I could exchange my eyesight with you, I would do it just to make you see what a man dying from love looks like."

Bright Blue Flames

Upon hearing his new name, the snow dragon raised his fluffy chin and offered Aideen a rather excited look, his big round eyes sparkling like two gems under the generous rays of the sun. Ahspid stretched his lips into a wide smile and said,

"It looks like he really likes his new name. I think it suits him."

Aideen looked at the happy face of the small creature wrapped in a red scarf and smiled too. If before, this entire situation still remained somewhat surreal and refused to be accepted by both her heart and head, now, she felt a strange yet intimate connection with the dragon and finally saw the reality of things. 

At last, she was a weak and powerless princess no more. 

Now, she had the powers unknown to others. Now, she had the powers that no one would be able to take away from her.
