Our Only Pride

Dragons had pride, as everyone knew! It was the very essence of their existence, their honour, their soul!!

However, their pride was shattered—by a mere human!

The day they witnessed their pride's head severed before all, cut down like it was nothing but butter... the pride in their hearts cracked, splintered, and finally shattered into irreparable pieces!

Once dragons lost their pride, rebuilding it was no simple feat.

It wasn't just about time—it was about belief.... And belief, once broken, did not mend easily!!

Victor—if he had only wanted to kill Arkanis and be done with it—wouldn't have needed to concern himself with this so-called pride.

However, the mistake he made was far greater.... He took over the Empire!

That was where his plan should have changed—where he should have reconsidered everything.

If he was going to rule over them, then he needed to understand them first!
