Let’s negotiate harder

I was more than just relieved. Seeing me like that eased up Lianne and the others.

"Bring the former duke," I whispered.

Lianne and the others made haste with the preparations and the duke was brought in front of the dragon. I never really memorized his name. I didn't want to either.

Suffice to say he had a rather satisfying look on his face. Satisfying for me that is. "Bu-but how! Lord Ashirnae!"

"He ain't going to save ya, buddy." I kicked his butt and slammed him towards Xerphas. The way Xerphas grinned actually made me almost feel pity for the guy. The former duke screamed loudly, emptying his bladder before passing out. 

Never knew dragons could smirk. And I also never knew their smirks could be so damn frightening. 

Xerphas looked at me. "Give me your name."

"Daarc Green."
