"A marriage contract?! What are you talking about, we're already married?"
Valthera looked at me in shock, as if I had said something utterly ridiculous.
"Yes, a marriage contract... The only thing I'm asking from you is twenty years. For a dragon, twenty years shouldn't be too much, and considering that I drank the essence of a dragon, I'll probably have a very, very long life... After twenty years, I'll return to marry you, and I'll have a smile on my face." I said.
For a moment, Valthera's expression of shock turned into a deep silence. I could see the mixture of astonishment and anger in her eyes. Then, the words that left her mouth echoed in the room like a cold wind. "... Why should I agree? Also, why do you want to do it on your own when you could make your dreams come true?"
"Because, princess, if you give me enough time, I'll be strong enough to kill you." I thought to myself, but of course, I didn't say it out loud.
