Lucky me

She snuggled in his arm as he gently brushed away her tears.

Hugging her he caressed her back and pressed his lips in a gentle yet powerful kiss on her own lips.

Once she finally calmed down and could contain herself once more after a few moments of feeling breathless all thanks to his naughty kiss she even laughed between the hiccups caused by her sobs.

She smiled at him as he held her.

"Don't worry your pretty little redhead if you want something you tell me don't pretend that you do not want it when you clearly wished it. I have eyes and your expression is talking more than your statements."

He poked her side mischievous and playful dishevelled her hair eventually all her tears had been swept away and she was bright as a sunshine again. Her now unkempt hair ruffled like it had been through a whirlwind gave rise to a general laughter within the people at the lounge.

A good mood was born in the lounge of the inn even the greedy innkeeper was affected by it.

He looked at the revealed creatures that were obviously gifts for the young lady and thought to himself it was a good thing that he did not offend them he would lose his puny little life this man clearly was not simple to buy the Beast merchants top four beasts!

-----------------------------

The blond slave girl looked stunned at the dragon's her master had brought them because her mistress had simply gazed at them longer than the other beasts?

Thinking on what he had said that if she wasn't used by her mistress she would be discarded she shivered.

She was not a highly skilled slave, her beauty was in the top of the region but she knew that if she was bought for her looks her days would likely become very pitiful.

While some master would indulge himself with slave girls some others rented them out. And this where the most pitiful ones.

No matter what she needed to get her mistress to use her more so her master would not sell her off!

------------------------------

Speranza made her way to open the dragon cage and gently petted them both seemed to be pretty happy to see who was going to be their owner in the end.

While she pets her new companion she picks them up now the wyvern baby seeing new playmates cooed at them he was trying to get new friends but the psychic dragon "Hmfph" and turned his head while getting on her shoulder while the Fey-dragon happily obliged the friendly request…

Their antics made Speranza laugh and giggle, Arkalat watched the action until he gave her a gentle reminder that they should head up for their food.

Nodding, she followed him up with her three new companions with two of them tumbling and running around like playful kittens.

--------------------------

Getting to their room the blond girl and Timara which was burning with jealousy toward the redhead.

She had been given two dragons and three wyverns and was told it was her betrothal gift? She feared that even the king would not be able to spend that much on his main wife.

She needed to catch his attention if she could not touch the red hair girl she could still whoo him to bed and be his woman then would she not get the preferential treatment? With her background, she was confident in herself.

She was totally ignoring the warning she had received from Dravick and devised plans to get the man to have her…

------------------------

Arkalat ordered the meal to be served into their main room and he sat down facing Speranza so they could converse and enjoy their meal.

The food was served on a bed of rice that had been cooked in chicken boost giving it a nice flavour the rice was mixed with little carrot chunks, small green peas and corn grains. while the chicken breast laid atop it with a tartar sauce.

They happily eat their meal.

Arkalat asked Speranza if she would wish to try and send a letter to her parents to let them know she was alive and well.

She at first was surprised and smiled bitterly, She did not hold much hope of them being alive. Answering him in a quiet tone.

"I fear there is likely no one to receive the letter anymore.

The attack leaves little hope to hear of any other survivor they had come thoroughly prepared to eradicate the town."

she made another bitter smile and placed her small hand on his and smiled from the heart as she spoke next.

"Luckily for me, I met you when I had run out of any option to run or hide."

Gently grabbing her chin with his hand he leaned over the small table to kiss her nibbling her lower lip.

"Very well, finish eating up I still have some preparation to do I will not be long if your bored you can always get something nice to wear for me after your bath" He teased her while making is eyebrow jump up and down with a naughty grin on his face.

Her face illuminated up vermillion moreover she tossed him a weak blow on his shoulder for teasing her too much while he exited laughing his heart out acting like a pitiful bullied puppy while not refraining to the opportunities to playfully harass her with his expressions on his way out…
