Chapter II

My hazel eyes follow after the King and I wonder why he decided to come to me first.
I notice all the other beautiful women and they all seem to also be watching the King or me. I felt uncomfortable with them watching me so I went into a corner and stood there in silent thought.

I soon spot the three Dragon Lords again and watch as they converse amongst the people. Occasionally I would hear them speak in their native tongue.

"Hyw loduw I eb itwh na luyg cithw keli uyo?" One Dragon Lord spoke to a woman and I had to hold back a snicker as she giggled at what he said.

The King must of noticed me watching the Dragon Lords and he walks back over to me.

"My, my someone else is also interested in my Lords. My heart is hurt." He said dramatically.

I look at him and sigh softly. "I do not like him, i just find it funny for what... I mean how that girl reacts when it is obvious that he doesn't look pleased to be near her." I nearly gave away my secret. 

The King nods as he looks over at the Dragon Lord that now has the clueless female clinging onto him. I return my attention to the King and took note on his features, how sharp his jawline is, how tan he is, the way his hair is curled at the tips and how the color is just pure white. I looked away before he noticed me watching him. The King returns his gaze towards me and he smirks.

"What is your name my Lady? I fear I never asked you properly." He stated with such high respect.

"My name is Cassandra Blackwood." I said with a slight bow.

The King nods and he than says with such politeness. "My name is Luki Lodan."

I nodded and my attention is returned to the woman as she is roughly taken off the Dragon Lord by a guard. She start to kick and scream in such a child like manner and it drew so many eyes and ears towards her.

I look away before she saw me watching her. Than the King spoke.

"I have a new rule, Lords and Ladies will pick one land and build there. If they wish to move from their land they must come and speak with me. I was hoping... You would be my first candidate for this new rule." Luki eyed me up and down for a minute.

I thought about it for a minute than I asked him. "What do I get out of it?"

"To be a Lady of a Village of your very own." I thought about it for a minute. It seemed like a good idea but a part of me wanted to disagree.

"I will accept your offer, however I want my parents to join me." I told him. "And a few of your best guards to help me build up my village."

"Deal. Now what are you calling your village?" King Luki asked.

"FalconCrest." I replied. "The Falcon is a strong bird, it uses gravity to reach its prey faster than just swooping down all the time. Once it is close enough than it swoops in and kills it's prey."

The King nods slowly to my reasoning and he turns his attention to his throne. "Care to follow me my darling?" He held out his hand and I carefully placed my hand into his.

King Luki guided me through the crowd of people, up the steps, to the throne. He told me softly to stand next to the throne while he spoke for the time being, than when he introduces me is when I am too speak. He gathered everyone's attention and I could feel some of the women getting annoyed by me up there next to the throne.

"I have gathered you all here today to announce, I will be placing a new rule on our lands." He than explains everything to the people in the throne room. "And if all turns out splendid, than more people can have their own villages, ruled by me of course." He smirks.

I watch as some of the men speak up about a woman ruling a village on her own, even some of them felt offended and called me names. I took them like a slap in the face when I finally spoke up to stand guard for myself.

"I do not care what you think of me! But you will not shame on my gender for being a woman! I could rule a village better than a man!" My blood boiled as I spoke, I slowly started to see nothing but red. "You will not talk down to me like all these other women! The King appointed me a Lady to a village so you dare disrespect me once more and I will be sure to make sure you never live on my land!"

(A little longer but not as long as I am wanting.)
