Kamon tragic death

Kamon's gaze remained fixed on Sophia, his golden eyes harbouring a mixture of desire for her alluring form. He strained to control his urges, battling against the overpowering attraction he felt for her. He was walking a tightrope, trying to suppress his inner turmoil and maintain a semblance of composure.

"Princess Sophia, we need to discuss the matter of the new ruler," Kamon said, his voice carrying a note of deference. He knelt before Sophia, his eyes never leaving her as he spoke.

Sophia's expression remained unchanged, her cold gaze locked onto him. "Is that so? I'm more than ready to claim the throne. My mother will willingly pass it to me, or I'll seize it myself. But as for your inquiries about 'our future,' if you continue this conversation any longer, your life will be hanging by a thread."

Kamon's confidence wavered. He heard Sophia's words, her final warning sending a shiver down his spine. "How dare she speak to me like that? Is she blind and deaf? Didn't she witness and hear the exceptional report I presented during the meeting? I did everything to impress her, to make her mine. Yet, in the end, she remains this cold and distant. I even consoled her, only for her to fall for that wretched human... No! I mustn't mention that lowly human here, especially not in her presence. She'd tear me apart in her fury. I need to take action before it's too late."

Kamon straightened himself, his lips curling into a flirtatious smile as he locked eyes with Sophia. Her response was nothing short of disdainful, her expression reflecting her disgust at his behaviour. However, Kamon ploughed ahead, his words tumbling out without a second thought.

"Princess Sophia, what I'm trying to express is... as the new successors of the royal dragon bloodline, I am here to humbly offer myself as your prospective husband," Kamon blurted out, his words a mix of desperation and impulsiveness. He struggled to keep his thoughts coherent, his anxiety overriding his reasoning. Meanwhile, Sophia observed him with a frigid, narrow-eyed gaze, her expression a display of revulsion.

The impact of her next words struck Kamon like daggers to his heart. "And who exactly do you think you are? Offering yourself as my husband? Do you truly believe I would entertain the idea of someone like you?"

Each word was a verbal blow, weakening Kamon's resolve.

But he maintained his calm looks, holding onto the veneer of composure. "Princess Sophia, I urge you to consider the implications of your words. Think about the future of the Dragon Empire. As the last descendant of the royal bloodline, it has been aeons since the Nili family welcomed new members. The survival of the dragon race hinges on securing a future king and a son. I am among the finest men of the younger generation, a beacon of excellence within the dragon community. There is no one else but me who possesses the qualities to be a fitting match for you as your future husband."

Kamon had systematically eliminated any potential rivals who had shown interest in Sophia. His influence within the imperial palace was undeniable, and his power left no room for resistance. Over time, his obsession with Sophia's beauty grew to an uncontrollable intensity. Unable to rein in his desires, he devised a disturbing plan. He brought a dragon woman who bore a striking resemblance to Sophia, indulging in a night of intense passion with her.

Sophia felt a profound sense of disgust and rage as Kamon's repulsive words reached her ears. Outrage surged through her, and she couldn't contain her fury. "I would never spare a glance for someone as repugnant as you, you despicable pervert!" Sophia's voice crackled with anger, her emotions boiling over.

She reached her breaking point, summoning her fire magic to form a blazing fireball in her palm. Her intent was clear: she was ready to unleash her power and obliterate Kamon. However, her lethal intent was abruptly halted when she noticed Kamon pointing his hand at her.

"Princess Sophia, you cannot end my life so easily," Kamon stated with a disturbing grin, a sense of mania evident in his eyes. He was convinced of his invincibility, believing that his position as the chief officer of the welfare ministry and his importance in the imperial palace shielded him from consequences. His laughter carried a twisted self-assuredness, driven by the delusion that he could not be killed or rejected by Sophia. In his distorted mind, he was determined to forcefully make her his, even if it meant manipulating circumstances to achieve his sinister goals.

"Get out, you despicable bastard, before your existence becomes nothing but ash and cinders. I already have a cherished beautiful son, and I won't tolerate anyone coming between us," Sophia's voice thundered with fury as she shouted at Kamon. Her words rang out, capturing the attention of the nobles inside the hall once more.

Kamon stood before Sophia, his expression initially filled with confusion and disbelief. He struggled to process her words, trying to recall any prior conversations that might explain this sudden declaration. His brow furrowed as he attempted to make sense of Sophia's words, struggling to comprehend their meaning.

"Princess Sophia, you must be jesting," Kamon finally responded, his tone a mixture of disbelief and certainty. He was convinced that he held intimate knowledge about Sophia's life. He believed there had never been any record of her being in a relationship or having a child. In his mind, the idea that Sophia had a son was preposterous.

However, Sophia's response was unwavering and firm. "Do you believe I am jesting with you? I am Princess Sophia Nili, a dragon princess and the daughter of Rose Nili. Falsehoods do not escape my lips. You would do well to flee from my presence. Many other women may long for your attention, but I have no interest in you." With her words, Sophia unleashed her powerful dragon aura, causing fear to grip the hearts of the nobles and officials around her. Yet, Kamon's body remained unresponsive, and his senses seemed to dull as he absorbed Sophia's explanation. He gazed into her eyes, golden orbs that held no trace of deceit, leaving him unable to refute her assertion.

"No! It can't be! You're lying! You couldn't possibly have another man's child... especially not before me... I've worked tirelessly to ensure you would belong to me... to us... to the Dragon Empire... I've orchestrated it all to lead to this moment... our union... our destiny... huff... huff... huff... Tell me... the identity of your child... even if it's true, I need to hear his name... It can't be true... It's impossible..." Kamon's voice grew strained as he continued his desperate tirade. His exhaustion and turmoil were evident, his emotions a chaotic storm of anger, envy, and a desperate desire to regain control.

"No!... No!... No!... No!... No!... No!... No!... No!... No!... How dare anyone else steal my Sophia and father her child... Who is this intruder, this imposter? I'll tear him apart limb by limb... He won't escape my wrath..." Kamon's mind spun in a whirlwind of rage as his grip on reality seemed to slip further.

Sophia's icy demeanour remained unchanged as she responded to Kamon. "I gave you a chance, but you squandered it. You threaten my son's safety, and for that, I cannot let you live. As for his identity, his name is Xzson... my beloved son... the light of my life... I cherish him deeply... I must find him and ensure his safety... I won't allow him to be endangered by the likes of you." Her voice held a cold edge, yet a hint of tenderness seeped through when she spoke of her son.

As the truth settled in Kamon's mind, his complexion turned ashen, and his gaze grew wild. He was unable to bear the reality that a mere human had not only become Sophia's spouse but also the father of her child. The humiliation was unbearable, and his anger surged beyond control. He stumbled forward, tears mixing with his fury as he faced Sophia, ready to unleash his rage. But before he could utter another word, a swift kick landed squarely between his legs.

The excruciating pain was beyond comprehension, and he was sent hurtling back into the hall, collapsing in agony as a primal scream escaped his lips.

A loud "boom!" echoed through the hall, grabbing everyone's attention. People turned to see Kamon Law lying on the ground, clutching his injured groin. Shock spread among the onlookers, especially the men who winced in sympathy at the painful sight.

Gamon Law, Kamon's father, rushed over, worried about his son's condition. He called for healers to help. Meanwhile, a murmur of discomfort rippled through the male attendees as they imagined the pain Kamon was going through.

Amid the commotion, Sophia's voice cut through the air. She walked toward Kamon with a determined look, exuding a sense of purpose. The atmosphere grew tense, and people instinctively backed away, sensing her anger.

Gamon demanded to know who was responsible for Kamon's condition, his voice full of anger and vengeance. But before anyone else could respond, Sophia admitted to causing the harm. Her words were direct and unapologetic, leaving the room in stunned silence.

"I hurt him!" Sophia's voice rang out, her gaze locked on Kamon. Her expression showed no remorse.

Gamon's disbelief and rage were evident. "Princess Sophia? You did this?" he exclaimed, struggling to grasp the situation.

Amid the chaos, Sophia's stare remained unwavering. "Did my son disrespect you? If he did, I apologize. Please forgive my- Aaaaaaa!" Sophia's words were cut off by a burst of flames, engulfing both Gamon and Kamon.

The fiery spectacle left everyone in shock.

Panic spread as people hurriedly retreated from the scene. The hall, once grand, now bore the marks of devastation.

Sophia took a deep breath, her attention shifting to Rose, who stood behind her with crossed arms.
