"Father!" Harlow called out to Mars and that meant that his beloved daughter had come running out of the castle and in the presence of the dragon.
But as the King of Draec had expected, it started a flash of recognition from the dragon.
The mid-sized creature finally moved and flapped its wings wildly and caused terrible gusts of wind. It blew away the multitude of the soldiers, archers, and even the other children.
The dragon cared not for any of the people but only had eyes for Harlow.
Mars barely managed to keep himself up as the dragon cleared the crowd away and then trained its eyes on Harlow. The majestic, powerful and even confident dragon finally bowed its head to Princess Harlow alone.
"Is this mine, father?" Princess Harlow couldn't help but smile brightly at the creature. Not only had she won the bet with her beloved cousins, but this was also bigger than anything she had ever seen before.
