"I always knew Tharn was an asshole." Disco said pouring some whiskey into Korn's glass.

"I understand his anger about Knock threatening to burn down the mansion but that doesn't give him the right to put his hands on him." Korn said before taking a sip of his drink.

"You gave up the throne for him, even making that fake outdated will instead of giving him the real one that said you were to inherit the throne not Tharn, and he goes and puts his hands on your mate." He said.

"I should have never told you about that." He said. "I blame the tequila."

The day he forged Tharn's father's will was a day he desperately wanted to forget. The one that Tharn had seen was not the actual will. A few days before Tharn's father died, Korn had snuck into Tharn's father's office and stole the will and replaced it with the one he forged. None of the old king's advisors had seen the will, so they couldn't say that it was fake.

"I get why you did it but I think you would have made a better king. You have fresh ideas and wouldn't have let us dragons be treated like scum." Disco said.

"Tharn doesn't treat us-" Korn said before being interrupted.

"To you maybe not, but he just took land away from the Knucker Clan and gave it to the unicorns and griffins even though they have huge amounts of land already." He said.

"He did what!!" Korn said shocked.

"A friend in the palace said that the head of the unicorn and griffin clans came to the King and asked him to give them some of the Knucker land so they could grow more. We all know that is a lie since they have the second largest amount of land in the realm. Tharn granted it without a second thought. A fight broke out between the Knuckers, Unicorns and Griffins and it ended with the Knuckers being forced out of some of their land." Disco said.

"Are you freaking serious?" Korn said pissed. He stood not able to just sit.

"He can't do that. The first demon king promised that our lands would be safe when we joined his kingdom. He promised that deal would last forever." He said.

"I guess Tharn doesn't care for old deals." Disco said. "Some of the dragon clans have been talking about war again and your father has been trying to fight them off, but it's getting pretty ugly. Some even say that you should overthrow your ailing father and declare independence as our king.

"This talk is treason, Disco" he said. Disco stood and moved to stand in front of Korn.

"We have suffered too much to bed the knee anymore. We are dragons, not slaves. We are the strongest species in the world and shouldn't have a vampire as our ruler."

"Disco, Tharn is king and he-" Korn said but was again interrupted.

"Tharn has never had our interests in mind. He used us to fight in his silly wars and doesn't give a damn about those we lost fighting his war." He said. "Every war we have fought for his family throughout the centuries, the heirs to the throne have only ever cared for their line and what species they are. Never have they taken care of the other species, especially the dragons. Tharn is no exception."

"If I challenge my father for the title and win, you really think Tharn would release us and let me be King of the Dragons?" He asked.

"You tell him that we have had enough of fighting in wars that have nothing to do with us and that we are tired of having land stripped from us. If he doesn't give us our independence then the clans are willing to fight for it. You know that we have the numbers, they may have a few creatures that can take us in a one-on-one fight, but not all together."
