Tristan's P.O.V.
---------------
After we left Rana and Rick at the shop we finally arrived at the front gate of the palace.
I saw my mother running towards, followed by my father and brother who are calmly walking and I jumped of my horse. It's been so long since I've seen them and I must admit that I even missed them a few times. Especially when the nights in the fort are cold and lonely.big My mother always finds a way to brighten up the darkest room, she is joyful and a natural beauty.
'Finally!' She yelled and hugged me... very long and tightly.
'Hi mom, don't get me wrong, I really enjoy your hug but please... The men are watching and you're crushing me.'
'Oh nonsens' she takes a step back and tapped my upper arm. 'Any of you boys would like a hug for as my own son seems to old for a bit of love.' She smirks and opens her arms toward the men. Nikon gets of his horse and takes a deep bow. And just before he knew what was happening she was holding him too. I couldn't contain myself and laughed hard at his surprised face.
'That's enough my love, you can't just go and hugging random people.' My father finally caught up and opens his arms. 'Now my son, I hope you had a good trip.' We both shake hands and share a quick hug.
'It's been too long my brother.' My younger brother smiles and comes up to me. He had always been a charmer. I have the muscles and he has the smile and even if he is younger then me, I can enjoy his company. He is always so carefree but calculated at the same time.
I smirk 'I can't stay too long, I still have somewhere to go. I have brought a surprise.' I watched and see my mother pouting. 'But you just got here.'
'I won't be long mother, like I said, I have a surprise.' Just thinking about her is making me smile. I see my parents and brother knitted eyebrows. They don't have clue and since Rana will be the first girl to be walking by my side I don't think they will ever guess even if they had a 1000 chances.
'Who are you and what have you done with my brother?'
I see my mothers face changing. 'My baby boy, could it be you're in lo-'
'You'll see.' Big smile again. 'I will be leaving alone for now, the horses need to rest and my men need a drink. I'll be back before you know it.' I can't wait to see her in a proper dress, I decided that before introducing her to everyone it would be for the best if she took a bath. I wonder how long it's been since she had the chance to bathe properly. And even if I promised myself I would try to respect her boundaries, just the thought of her taking of her clothes and touching... I slap myself in the face to snap out of it.
I really need to see grandmaster Altar. If it's about her I feel like a teenager in love, my body ready to explode any moment and I don't even know her. All I know is that I can't control my myself when I think about her.
The closer we get to the shops, the more uncomfortable I start to feel. I feel Zion is nervous for some reason and suddenly I hear him. That strange roar again. When finally the square is in sight I see a multitude of people who have gathered and shouting. I make my way through the crowd but nothing prepared me for what I was about to witness. My body is nailed to the ground, I see Zion descend and I feel his emotions turning into curiosity. In front of him is someone I would recognize from miles away, not only because of her hair but through her body, how she stands ... She seems calm until he suddenly makes a loud roar for no reason. I am still nailed to the ground and my mouth falls open when I see my dragon take a protective position around her. He even asks for physical contact. A dragon showing its chin, its most vulnerable spot, is a sign of submission.
Now that she is standing straight and looks me in the eye, she looks like a goddess. I could look at this scene all day. She looks strong, confident. Like a warrior, like a true queen. Gods, I feel.... admiration? Lust? Proud? Al those things at the same time. But she is still wearing my shirt.
'What's going on?' I look around and catch Rik standing in front of the shop in position. As glued to the wall and with terrified faces, I see 2 royal guards to the side.
'What the f**k is going on here?' I yell. Zion snaps out of it and as I start walking towards him he lowers his guard and makes room for me. I now stand before Rana.
'For the last time, what's going on? Why are you still wearing that? Where is your dress?'
'W-Well, I asked for a dress and when I said I belong to you he walked out and came back with them and then Rik wouldn't let them enter. They threatened him but he wouldn't leave and then Zion came and here we are.' She lets out a deep breath. 'Tristan, I know these men, they are dangerous.' She whispers and I raise an eyebrow.
'Dangerous?' Does she even know who I am? Does she even know what I do and what I CAN do? What I'm capable of? 'Who? These 2?'
