Killian tilted his head to the side. Soon, he let out a soft chuckle and sat on the sofa, saying softly, “Then take out what you have. I don’t know what it is, but is should be attractive enough. I don’t like cheap deals.”

Elysia raised her body, ignoring the pain. She took off her clothes that smelt like medicine. Standing before him with a limp, Killian raised his dark eyebrows. Muttering softly, she said, “I know I look like this now, but if you wait a little longer…”

“Do I look that frightening to you that I would not hold a battered woman? You're beautiful, you know. Cherish yourself more. It is what you deserve. It is what you are owed." <<less

Richard could not help but wonder as he looked at the dragon he was riding.

"Well, this is good study material. Oh, by the way, you said just now that you kidnapped me as a prince because you wanted to find a playmate for your dragon daughter? Isn't this reason a bit too... outlandish?"
