Chapter 66

“Nothing of the sort. I wish to talk, dragon to dragon.” He held out a ring-laden hand. Despite his commanding voice and figure, he was only taller than Mari by a sliver, and far shorter than Aria’s brother. I suppose being short ran in the family.

“That does not mean you aren’t here to gloat over your brother’s decision,” I pointed out with a vicious smile across my lips as he sighed.

“And what? Take out the entire city? You realize that for the same reason you can’t fly over and start a fight with Lazarus, I can’t come over here picking a fight with you, right?” I felt myself relax as he continued. “At the end of the day, we are all royal dragons, with the obligations and duties that come with that. My brother’s judgement does not change that.” His voice was like a crisp wind, sharp, but not unpleasant. He paused momentarily at the end of every sentence, drawing attention to his every word.
