The time I tamed a Dragon King

Ilona was struggling with the painful binds that held her hands tied behind her back. She knew she should have kicked that brute in his loins, when he grabbed her from behind. She was taken during a raid in her Father's Estate. With him passed away three years ago, Ilona being an only child and heir to his Estates, she had to fend for herself in a world where women had nor rights, but to bare children and be subservient to men. Her mother had just recently passed, and she was left to continue the legacy of the Tarjerians. They were a noble family , as ancient as time. Her father was a baron with many lands and the Castle Tarjeria. On his passing, and her mother's slow decline into a sad and depressive state. She was left to manage his holdings and works. It was not only challenging daily, but she was always treated with disdain by the fellow barons, some of whom had offered her their hand in marriage. She however would politely reject them, leaving them cursing her and telling her, that she would be the end of her father's now redundant legacy. She refused to back down or listen to them. In the cold winter and scorching summers, she would be right next to her workers, the back breaking harvests were all that was keeping them all going and putting food on food on table. Sadly, without her father's soldiers to defend her lands ( they had been bribed by the other Land Barons to desert her), her lands were attacked continuously by bands of thrives, carrying off her cattle and maids. The men workers soon followed, fearing for their lives and abandoned her too. Left alone she tried to scrape together some sort of living, until they nabbed her too. It was a cold winter's evening when they came. She was asleep in her bed in the west wing of th3 castle. Only herself and her beloved hand maid Tua, were 8n this huge castle. She never slept sound, always vigilant, yet somehow this night she was exhausted and drifted into a peaceful slumber. She slept soundly, as four men made their way from a terrace window into the castle. It had beautiful interiors, but one could see that now ruin and neglect had crept in. They were outside her door and trying to let it creak too much as they opened. It. There she lay, more beautiful then the sender of their mission had described her. They were lightning quick, two men grabbed both her feet and started tying them together with binds. Two others grabbed her arms and tied them too. Shock and horror set in when she realized what happening, awoken so rudely from her amazing sleep, she felt a cloth almost cut her mouth as it was shoved in and tied, she was not sure who, what, and why this wad happening, but she was fearing for her life. She wondered if Tua escaped but was sad to see her also bound and trying to struggle free in vain. The men made off with both into the dark night.
