BLOODDRAGON

Chapter 3| Spring meets Winter

Nyx never walked as quick as he was now within the walls of Bear's Claw castle before almost threw the doors to the Great Hall away with his strength revealing all the Lords of big houses in the north.

"Is it true?!" Nyx let out a scream and he made sure that everyone could hear him, both in and out.

"Don't you dare raised your voice in front of the king, Commoner!" Lord Frozenriver yelled back leading to Nyx gritted his teeth to hold his rising anger.

"I am speaking to my father," Nyx spat back before the princess of Bear's Claw stood from where she sat as she banged the table with her fist.

"You are not his son!" Hearing those words from the princess made the adopted prince's blood boils and so did her families with each of their stares were staring sharply at her. He could endure many insults and he would endure what she had said if only situations were not this shocking. Nyx parted his lips to start arguing but his father cut him.

"Enough! That is my decision and that is what we'll do!" He shouted.

"Leave us," He said with heavy tone which all the Lords bowed and left one by one, leaving only the king's family behind including Nyx.

"Is it true father, that you have accepted the offers of the kingdom of spring?" Nyx almost yelled at his father who had the looks of lost.

"He did," It was Sasha who spoke smugly as she tapped her fingers on the high table, gaining everyone's attentions. "I agree to marry the prince Oryn of house Redhorn. You should understand Commoner that it was my words against yours," She spat but Nyx just stood there staring daggers at her and clenched his jaw holding his anger and so did the queen. As the queen almost started to scream at her, the king raised his hand stopping her.

"It was for the north Nyx, I hope you understand." Nyx were rather confused of what the king said to him.

"My brother had waged war upon the kingdom of spring and it costed the north plenty," He stated calmly. He then turned his attention towards his adopted son, "I know we are taking a big risk here, but I want you to understand that it was the north that started the war and there were many casualties. Right now they offered us peace, with the marriage between my daughter Sasha and Prince Oryn. I hope you understand."

Nyx lowered his head and went in deep thought before taking deep breath and released out of his system. Nyx reluctantly nodded and didn't realize a smirk had been formed on the princess' face.

"Then this talk is done, you may go now," They all started to leave and so did Nyx before his father called out his name. "Nyx, meet me in my study. We have a discussion to talk about," His father said taking everyone's attention for a moment before they all went out and Nyx was the last one to leave.

When the door screeched close, Nyx faintly leered at the sight of Sasha being pulled by the queen with reason Nyx already guessed and without question it made Nyx smirking slightly. But a hand on his shoulder brought him back from his thought of pleasure seeing the princess being reprimanded by her mother.

But when he saw his brother who gave him the look, his smirk went down as he was facing his brother. "I know what she said to you isn't a good one," His brother said calmly, but Nyx cut him before he could say any further.

"Isn't a good one? Fuckin hell brother, it was the worse one. Calling me that in front of father and all the Lords from big houses, tell me brother how does it makes you feel when she do it to you?" Nyx spat at his brother. He knew he had no involvement in this, but he needed to let out some steam for all the things the princess said him.
