Chapter40. Draco’s POV ( Mystic Joe has a thing for men)
That man did not miss a single opportunity to touch my bare body.
He was all over me. Decorating every inch with some needle.
” These are Ivory Needles. Like poison takes poison out, this will help get rid of the primary impact the dagger has had on you, ” he danced as he explained, ” this liquid that I am dipping these ivory needles into is a rare piece of item.
His smile was bad enough, now I was having to bare with his smirk.
” This Mr. Dragon is Trilithium. A deadly weapon. But for a Dragon skin it acts as a detoxing element.
I bet none of these items are available in the Dragon kingdom. That what makes this ordinary Ivory Blade so special.
Do you think I could supply these to your kingdom?
Would you like to act as my broker in your home market? We will split the profit share fifty fifty. Say what? ”
That little… He dared to slap my shoulder .
Even without my power, I was still the Dragon King.
My stare sent him reeling three steps back at once.
” Alright. Alright. forty sixty. No? ummmm… What about twenty five, seventy five? ”
He was till negotiating. The audacity.
I could have devoured his entire being just by looking but luckily his phone rang.
It was Liana.
This was one thing that was far superior in this mortal world than my kingdom, I had to admit.
We used the Communication Mirror. That too it was basically just me. But people used this tiny rectangle all the time. As if their words were just flying.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
” You want me to put him on the call? ”
the man asked and then came to hand me the phone.
I took it and turned it again and again to see where I could see Liana’s face. That was how we communicated in our Communication mirror and I had seen humans use the same technique as well.
They even got to see their own face along with the face of the person they were talking with.
” Ummm, Mr. Dragon. You are holding the phone upside down. Turn it over and say hello! ”
” I can’t find Liana’s face. Where is she? Which side? ”
” Ummmm, Mr, Dragon, this is not a video call. Its a voice call. You need to put this side beside your ears and talk. We talk by saying ‘ Hello’! ”
He helped me hold the rectangle against my earlobe.
” HELLOOOOO! ”
” Oh my gosh! Draco! Why are you yelling? ”
Was I? She was the one who yelled at me. I was just adjusting my tone to make sure she could hear me.
” Anyways! I called to let you know that I found Damian!”
” You did? Already? ”
It wasn’t that I was not happy about Damian’s safety but I had wanted her to rely on my bravery. I had actually wanted her to struggle searching for him till I recovered and then beg me to help her.
I had wanted to barge in their fortress and lift my son out of there like a hero and burn their castle to pieces as they watched.
I had even wanted Liana to watch the scenario and bow in front of me with utmost devotion. Sing my glory and praise.
But it was fine as long as Damian was safe. His life was the most important.
” I am staying back with him. How is your treatment going? ”
Suddenly the rectangle fell from my hands and Liana’s voice became louder and more audible.
If this was possible why had the man tricked me into holding it .
” He is doing what he can. However we will need to wait and see. But to be honest I feel a little better! ”
” Really? Doesn’t that mean it’s working? ”
her voice was cheerful, as expected, ” By the way Draco, I forgot to mention, that Mystic Joe has a thing for men… I mean men and dragons. Those are his infamous fetishes. Just to give you a little head start. Don’t end up in his arms when you are all alone in the night! ”
The man watched at my face and I watched at his.
I could see his face turning slowly red as he looked away.
” Ok Draco. I will be going now. Don’t tell him I told you this! The poor guy is trying to help. He might feel offended! ”
Then the rectangle went blank.
Mystic Joe went straight inside. He did not even turn to pick it up.
I was sitting with needles all over my body.
I could not even move from my position.
Offended she said. That stupid girl. How could she say that out loud. Now the whole situation became more awkward.
I sat there with my hands stretched so as to not hurt myself.
But then I felt like I could barely keep my eyes open
Was I drugged?
No way! Was I now going to be violated as I blackout?
Was this also to happen to myself. The Great Dragon Lord Draco.
I fought hard to keep my lids from touching each other.
But they seemed like they were stuck with glue.
After a few more attempts it felt better to just let go of the fight and accept defeat.
I felt numbness slowly creep across my body but it was not weakness. The numbness that spread was comforting.
I felt myself slip slowly from the chair onto the rugged ground.
My head hit the soft ground. It did not hurt but bounced.
I knew the needle aught to have dug deeper in my flesh. And so it did.
” Aaaoo… ”
My lips betrayed me and I yelled in pain.
The man came running back towards me at that.
” Mr. Dragon… Mr Dragon! ”
He was rubbing my chest and shaking my shoulder.
Making the needles bury inside further.
” Aooo! ”
I yelled again.
” Oh! I am sorry. I am sorry… ”
He tried sitting me up, leaning against something. Then slowly started taking one needle at one time out.
The last vision I had before I drifted off to oblivion was him bent over my chest and Liana’s warning ringing inside my head-
… Don’t end up in his arms when you are all alone in the night!…
Shit!
