Medusa had a deal with the dragon lord's to go into the dragon cave and bring the sword that was stuck in a rock inside the cave in order to continue ruling .

It was well known that the dragon cave was a place were no human of snake with in and came back alive and any dragon who went in comes out with lot of injuries that leaves that dragon half dead .

What ever killed or gave this people those injuries whenever they went to bring out the sword was still a mystery. The dragons had been jealous when they found out that an ordinary snake also a woman who was considered a weakling was ruling and ordering them around ,that was after the death of Medusa's husband who ruled the humans, snakes and dragon before his dead . the rules stated that only dragons were allowed to rule but women weren't allowed to rule except the men.

The kingdom was being passed to Medusa rule when her husband died ,she had a daughter who got pregnant out of wedlock gave birth to the kids and ran away from the palace with her personal guard.

Medusa herself was a mystery and made others wondered where her powers were gotten from .

The lord of slayers was a dangerous person and whenever people saw him they knew it called for war cause he hardly came out but things began to change when a new made named Belle started working in the palace.

she carried out her duties without complains and did it well one could say she did her things perfectly, she hardly spoke to others, her mother was a fortune teller and her father was an artist who was really good in making art by carving and also drawing on humans body.

It was tough for Belle in the palace due to the hate words and insult she got for people especially the royals in the palace who never felt satisfied with what she did and wanted her to do more.

The main reason for their hatred towards her was because of her beauty ,how could an ordinary maid be so beautiful than the princesses and their mothers who knew that the king will soon want to choose her to be one of his wives or one of his many mistresses but Belle never took that to heart and continued working diligently, on a particular day she was removing the cobwebs which hung on the palace ceiling. she was done cleaning and turned to leave when she bumped into someone, raising her head slowly she found out that she had mistakenly hit the lord of slayers.

" sorry my Lord " she bowed deeply and her golden blonde hair touched the floor.

" forgive me " she was shivering as fear of what could happen to her clouded her mind , fear covered her like a blanket and she was sweating seriously but he walked away without uttering a word which made the guards who were with him surprised.

" holy mother of snakes save me " she prayed silently but she still stood there when maid said , " Belle the queen sent for you .

she quickly ran to drop the tools she had use to clean the palace and went to meet the queen.

When she got to the queen's chamber ," what took you so long to come at my order ? " a woman with grey long hair that reached bellow her hips asked angrily.

" I am sorry my queen" she gulped her own saliva and knelt down. " I was busy before you called " she almost cried.
