Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

Chapter 148 - The Blood Of The Dragon Part 2

   Andromeda turned back as she dreamed of her ancestor talking to her. These dreams seemed to be so real and like her great, great grandfather is talking to her. It's a little blur as she watched people in a white cape with a golden dragon embroidered at the back. It's their family signature. 

   Then they are circling a stone and what she saw was surely more like a fantasy or mythic. Whatever it was… there's the Chief of a tribe muttering a ritual on their own language as they all take a knife and cut a little flesh on their palm, blood unites on a pot. 

​​

   This is like witchcraft if she believes in such things. But in their country, witchcraft on provinces exist or maybe in other countries. She looked around to see where Fox is located but he's nowhere. Is she just seeing this? 

   Then they are started talking in whatever it was and whatever mantra it was. She looked around to see animals around them. Then a man who seemed to look like Fox with a gigantic lion on his left and a white tiger on his right. 

   She gaped as the moonlight spotted the door to the cave and now, she understood where she was. It's on the hill with a big tree on the very top. 

"The Blood of a Dragon will only open the gate for the future heiress." A man speaks. She looked at him and the resemblance to her grandfather is big. "We Mondragon will fight for our family, for the people who can't fight for themselves and people who need our protection. No one can ever break our family, not even an outsider. To the future heiress, you will fight for our empire. You will protect your people and this world from a catastrophic war." 

   It feels like they are already talking to her in their future. What is her real mission? Why is she obsessed with finding that Dragon scroll? Damn, what's with this craziness? It felt like she's in a book or in a movie of Lara Croft… the Tomb Raider. Is this just a dream or a vision?

   Alanis woke up a little tired and he turned to his left where the woman that meant his whole life is sleeping. He reached her face and caressed the strands of hair that covers her eyes and tucked it at the back of her ear. He removed the towel from his forehead it put it away. Then he removed the dextrose and pulled his Moira to his arm. 

   It woke her up and she sat up and reached his back wet of sweats. She straddled him and helped him removed his shirt. 

"We need to change this." She was about to leave but he held her still. 

"Darling…" He hugged her waist and shove his face on her neck. 

"You need to change clothes." She told. 

"I just missed you so much." 

"Yeah." She pinned him down and went to his closet. She took a pair of his PJs and gave it to him. "Here, change your clothes." 

"Are you supposed to take care of me?" He asked. She chuckled and poured a glass of water and gave it to him. 

"Funny." She patted the space on the side of the bed, and he followed. He stood and pulled down his PJs and she frowned at him. She only gave the PJ pants to him and he put it on and then she helped him with his PJ top. "What do you want to eat?" She asked and ready to dial the kitchen. 

"You." He answered. She frowned at him and pinned him down and covered him with the duvet. "I want to eat you down there." He said in a husky voice. 

"You, asshole!" She smacked his chest and call the kitchen to prepare a soup or whatever light food that he could handle. 

   She put his clothes on the laundry basket and then put away the basin and she tidied the bed. Alanis watched her and then he patted the space beside him. 

"I want to be close to you right now." 

   She shook her head and reached the dextrose and put it away. 

"Moira." He called. She sighed and climb up to the bed and snuggled on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her. "So, how do you want to torture Yves?" 

"I don't know yet." She reached her hand over his forehead and then neck. "Are you okay now? You've been sleeping for more than twenty-four hours and would just wake up to visit the bathroom and then sleep again." 

   He didn't even remember going to the bathroom. But he's not worried. All this time she's taking care of him and he's safe around her. He kept caressing her hair as they remain quiet and just listen to the rain outside. 

"You live in this palace alone?" She asked. 

"I am with the maids, my Mr. Wales and my secretary and the guards." 

"That's not what I mean." 

"Now you are here, it won't be lonely." He squeezed her and kissed her forehead. 

"You should rest more." She said. 

"I am fine. I won't let you go." 

   Moira is silent. Does it mean that he's not going to let her leave this palace? That can't happen. She got a mission with Andromeda and she needs to go home. 

"Well, it might look like Yves kidnapped me and then you rescued me and kidnapped me at the same time." 

"It might be that way. I don't want to be away from you." 

   A knocked on the door stopped them from their sweet and romantic moment. 

"Come in." He said and Maids came with a cart and they keep their heads low as they prepare the food on the table. 

"You are a spoiled brat." Moira sat up and slipped into her slippers. 

"Come back." Alanis reached out for her but she's already on the table to prepare his food. "Tsk. Moira." He called her in a tired voice. 

"You may now leave, I'll take care of this spoiled brat." She told them and they left with their heads low. 

   She prepared his porridge and put it on the table tray and then she strode to the bed and gently place it beside him. She stirred the porridge and cool it a little until he could eat it. She wanted to take care of him since he always did the same. 

"Don't leave yet." He held her hand and kissed it. 

"I won't leave… yet. Eat this. You need to have more strength. You need to bring back your good health so you can satisfy me." 

   Alanis chuckled and patted her head. 

"Don't worry my queen, I'll satisfy you in every way." 

   Moira felt like her heart has been stolen by this King and she just kept getting close to him because she couldn't breathe without her heart. 

"I'll take care of you… You don't need to go back there." 

"Alanis." She sighed. "We are in a different world. My world is to protect my countrymen, my family, and the civilians. We aren't get paid to kill someone. Your world is dangerous, and we are in a diverge direction." 

"I don't care." He kissed her forehead. "I don't care. I can give up everything for you." 

"No." She held his hand. "You can't." She sighed. "I don't want you to give in everything."  

"Moira, I am on your family's side. I sided with EPUA and Dragon Empire… we don't need to use that reason for us not to be together. Because no matter what, I will still choose you." 

   She sighed and just let it be. But one thing is on her mind at that moment. She can't stay with him there forever. And she's illegally in the country without a passport or visa. Alanis is stubborn and she understood that long-distance relationship is hard. 

   But is she really in a real relationship with him? What does she felt about it?
