Orphan Dragon Lord

Chapter 7: Pain pain fly to me

The message seemed to finally seep in with the people there. “Thank you Lara, I was hungry” I say, I take one tray “But I don't need so much, all I did was sleep” I took the tray of my finished rabbit and went into my hut. I shut the door. After eating I fell asleep and woke up late in the afternoon. I went out again because the hut was too stuffy to be in. Outside was Major Rude and Major Lydia. They stood at attention when they saw me, Major Rude not looking happy in the slightest when seeing me, “I'll see if I cannot wake up next time Major Rude” I said to him as I walked past him into the forest. He shook his head before following “What do you mean my Queen '' I didn't answer. “My Queen?” Lydia asked with way too much concern in her voice. “Well you looked like it was a bother for you to see me again, so I thought I'll give you some lip service.” They followed me as I looked around the forest, not really caring where I went, I had been in that blasted office for weeks without going outside to see the new world I had supposedly been given by the old man, but other than GW that was being busy with the mating, I had pretty much nothing here, I had atleast made something of myself in my world but here, I was a doll set to make others work easier. The curse is coming back to haunt me. Maybe I should just give up and Go with what I want. See where it gets me. “I would never” He said and continued talking, but I was not really in the mood to decipher the words he was saying. I looked around and picked some barriers from the bushes here and there. At some point we had made it to the stables where a lot of warriors were taking care of their dragons. When looking there someone got a glimpse of us, they all started bowing in respect. “I guess Sergent Major kept his promise in teaching them respect to the two of you” I said and walked onto the stable grounds. Lydia was about to say something when I was about to go into one of the stables. But I stopped her. “Right I must not be allowed in here, right? I read that apart from warriors only the royal family is allowed into the Dragon stables.” The whole grounds got quiet. Jules came running and bowed. “I thought you were of higher rank than Major Rude and Major Lydia?” I was actually confused as to why he would bow to someone who was of lower rank then himself. “I am” he stated. I moved my hand from the door to the stable and walked away. “My Queen” one of the other Majors said as he bowed. I looked around and smiled. “Still holding up your charades I see, it must be hard explaining what respect is when your subordinates can see you don't exercise it yourself. Makes so much sense now” I nodded to myself. Gasps around the Stable ground were present. “I think you are mistaking my queen” I just shook my head. “I'm pretty sure I'm not” I said and smiled as fake as I could. “I could see you were on your way into the stables” he started but I stopped him. “Don't worry, I would never do something as stupid as go into a restricted area.” I smiled again, just not with my eyes. I was about to leave when I was stopped by Major Rude standing in front of me. “What? I didn't go in. I'm sorry for forgetting that I was not allowed to go into the stables, I was just happy that Major Lydia reminded me” another smile without the eyes. Major Rude was about to talk, when the murmurs around the stable ground got higher and higher, about how the Queen might not be respected my the Warriors and that she was not allowed where Royalty was allowed, that even the Majors and the sergeant Major would make sure she did not step foot inside the stable. Not respecting higher rank.

Honestly it was fun to hear them agreeing with what I said to what had happened. The majors started doing damage control and Jules was looking at me with an open mouth but nothing to say. I was thinking about what a formal respectful, honorfully bow does. So I did. I went down on one knee, my arm on the other and my face buried in the crook. “I sincerely apologize for overstepping my boundaries.” I said, after a few minutes of silence I looked up, not expecting the whole ground to be mortified, Jules was white as a sheet but still pissed off, I could see his veins starting to pop. After looking around for a bit, I buried my face in my arm again, only to be pulled up by an angry Jules. “Why would you do that!?” He yelled at me. Holding my arm tight, it felt like it would snap if I moved. “I was waiting for you to accept my apology and allow me to stand up” I looked at my arm, it was turning red, I wanted to look him in his face but the pain was profound. Jules was seething. “I dont have the right to allow you to do anything!” he yelled again. I smiled this time for real, trying not to sound affected by the pain . “But you just did” he looked at me for a split second before pushing me off, my arm snapped, you could hear the sound of my bone breaking, it was disgusting and it hurt so bad, that swallowing the pain was hard as hell. “My Queen” Jules said as he stepped closer to where I was sitting on the ground holding my broken forearm, it thrubbing away. He was questioning whether he was going to make me stand or not. “Give the order god dammit!” Major Rude yelled. No one moved, I smirked to myself as I got up from the ground myself, holding my arm to my chest. “If you would do me the favor to point me in the direction of the hospital or what you have here in your world, I would much appreciate it” I said looking at Jules, sweat dripping from my forehead, and my breath starting to stagger. “No!!” he yelled, I smirked again, the warriors stunned with his answer. “There you see, I'm nothing but a puppet to be mistreated and tossed around as the great Sergeant Major sees fit” I bow again to all the warriors not knowing what to do with themselves as to what they had just witnessed. Major Lydia comes over and bowes to me. “If I may escort you to the medical wing” She said, I looked at her and took this just a step further. “Oh no, the medical wing is only for Warriors and the Royal family. I could not go there, and I would not like to waste you precious time Major Lydia '' I said, she was almost crying by my words, the rest of the warriors present were confused and were starting to question most of everything, my vision was starting to be affected, small dots started forming. “Now if I may leave Sergeant Major of the Royal family's Warriors” I looked him straight in his eyes with as much submission as my pain would let me. I waited for any sign from him and I got it, a small nod and I left for the hut I now called home.

Not long after arriving home to my hut someone knocked on my door. The pain in my arm was making me sweat bullets and I was running a fever, I had already thrown up twice and I was actually thinking about what I should do next to fix this. “Who is it?” I got out somehow. “My Queen” Julia's voice was firm. “I'm here to talk with you” I was smiling to myself, of course she was, not caring one bit about what her boyfriend had done, she was here to talk. I grabbed the covers from my bed and tossed them over me, even though I had a fever I was still cold. I went out and sat in front of the Hut. “Talk,” I said straigned. She looked confused but seemed to brush it off. “After you were taken, we had to do your work” She started, she seemed a little pissed. “I'm so sorry for making you do work” I said ironically. A throb came from my arm and I was about to throw up again. “It was not only me, but Jules and the other Majors who had to do the work you abandoned for 3 weeks.” She was getting pissed, and I would have said something was it not for me getting dizzy and feeling more sick than before. “I looked over your filing and it was impressive, everything you did was impressive, most of the time the King would have a Queen to do the amount of work you have done while being here, not to mention the secretaries that would have been appointed as well” She continued to talk and talk, me not knowing if she felt like I had overstepped or if she was giving me compliments. I was swaying a little when Jules, Lydia and Major Rude came running with the old man from the ceremony. “My Queen” the old man said when looking at me, I was barely holding on to reason, my sweat was turning cold now and Julia was getting pissed that they had interrupted her talk with me. “Julia. I have done something unforgivable” Jules said, I grinned at his tone, Julia thought he was talking about them interrupting the talk, and she was trying to brush it off and apologizing for her outbursts of anger. Jules looked at her stunned. “You have not said anything to Julia?” He asked me. I looked at him with almost closed eyes and smiled to myself thinking that he actually thought I would rat him out to a woman that clearly cared nothing for me. The old man went to me “My Queen please let me see the injury” I was in no position to argue and he was actually one of the few I thought would be on my side if given the choice. He unwrapped my makeshift sling and what was seen on my arm was disgusting, it was swollen to the point that I could feel the blood pooling in my arm. It was blue, Purple but mostly Black. “Oh my god what happened?” Julia gasped and brought her hands to cover her mouth. I collected my energy and answered. “Your boyfriend made me see where my place here really is.” She looked shocked and turned abruptly to Jules, he was shaking probably with anger and looked a decent amount of guilty, of what I could see in my haze. “My Queen this is bad” the old man said, I looked down on the arm I was holding. “Yeah. 6 to 10 months right?” I asked, still looking at it. “How did you?” I started to grin. “Not my first time with a massive bear putting me where I belong” I said, I tried getting up but I got dizzy again and fell over. Or that was what I thought I would when a sturdy person had caught me. Lara was standing beside me, I had not felt her. “We need to get the Queen to treatment” She said, I was so close to just passing out, when the big black dragon came again, they drew their swords. “What are your orders?” I waited for Jules to answer Major Rude but he never did, they just stood there as statues. “Hi black” I said, the black dragon ignored the others around. He walked up to me and nuzzled my face, he then gestured to my arm. I was able to bring it up a bit, but Lara shaking like a baby deer was not helping me being steady. The black dragon took hold of my arm, he pierced my skin and erupted the blood from my arm, it flowed down to the ground and when my arm was a decent size again, he licked the wound around the broken bone and the top of my skin, I looked at my arm, it no longer hurt and I was hoping that the dragon mate of my dragon had some magical powers but I was mistaken. my bones could be seen through a grayish layer of goo, and around the bone was the same goo. He cooed at me, nuzzled me again and flew off. The other just stood there still swords drawn, Lara finally collapsed to the ground. “I never thought I would see a legendary Misery” She said.
