What exactly does it mean to be his bride?

***

Every year, in each of the seven villages that made up the great Kingdom of Ignas, a Choosing Ritual was conducted. During this Chosing Ritual, one of the ladies in the village would be chosen to be the dreaded Dragon King's Bride.

No one knew exactly why the ritual was being performed every year or what happened to the brides that had been chosen in the past. 

Was he turning them into slaves?

Feeding them to his dragon? 

Or was he... feeding on them? 

That couldn't be ruled out. After all, there were rumours that the king wasn't like them, that he wasn't human.

Yet the question relentlessly troubled the people's heart.

What was he using them for?!

But they dared not question the King, afraid of what fate daring to go against him would be.

Anyways, none of these was Belladonna's business. Although it was her village's turn to produce a bride this year, she was certain she wouldn't get chosen.

Why?

Well, because she had a plan and she was absolutely certain it wouldn't fail her... or would it?

The Dragon King's Chosen Bride

“It displeases you. I apologize. Belladonna it is then. Who am I to make such cordial abbreviations as if I were a friend.” 


“No. It isn't the name.” She shook her head, looking away from him for only a moment as the thought went through her mind once again. “I am just suddenly very tired.” 


By the time she looked up at him once again, he was already right in front of her. Then in the next moment, he was pulling her towards his back. 


“Rest on this back for now. We can not afford to stop. I would have raced to our destination but I don't have enough life for that.” 


While he settled her on his back and placed her hands to circle around his neck for stability, Belladonna’s mind was somewhere else, somewhere very far away. Her heart was pounding with different overwhelming thoughts crossing and slamming against one another in her mind. 


It just couldn’t be. It was impossible. 


By Ignas, it couldn’t be him. That would make no sense.
