Victor came back that night from his hunting trip, he was immediately called in the king's throne room, he was confused, but went there anyway.
As Victor entered the room, the air felt heavy, king Arthur's glances were as sharp as a dagger.
Victor was confused, he knew now, something was up "Father, is something wrong?"
Kung Arthur : "And you have the audacity to ask? The audacity to call me father??"
Victor : "Let me guess then, William spilled it out, didn't he?" he smirked.
King Arthur : "How dare you betray us like that! Betray your own family! All for the throne that your brother earned, with his own hard work!"
Victor : "Oh please, hard work? He's just a spoiled brat who never experienced pain!"
King Arthur : "You two lived the same life! You both lived in comfort! The difference he earned that while you were handed comfort and power on a silver plate!"
Victor : "A silver plate? Admit it, me and my mom were a charity case to you, weren't we? We were struggling, my biological father leaving, her getting sick, I had to take care of her and myself at a very young age! And you say I was handed everything on a silver plate? I earned my worth!"
King Arthur : "And you still don't deserve what you earned! Someone who tries to sabotage their own family is not someone responsible! You will pay for your actions, one way or another! Guards, take him!"
And as soon as the king finished his words, Victor transformed immediately into his dragon form, breaking the ceiling and flying up. The king immediately followed, but couldn't keep up, Victor was way younger and healthier than him, he was faster than him.
But suddenly, Victor was attacked from behind, causing his dragon body to hit the ground immediately, making a huge hole. It was William, in his dragon form, he was big, white, with red eyes and red tail tip, he looked fiercely at his brother "You're gonna wish that you kept in your place, brother!"
As Victor hit the ground, he glared at his brother, his eyes full of dark flames "I warned you to keep shut, guess you really don't care about anyone but yourself!". Then, he launched at his brother, but William ditched it, they went on with the fight, Victor trying to weaken his brother, William trying to dodge every hit, and suddenly mid-fight, Victor smirked.
Victor releases himself from William, flying away, with William following him, they got far, and Victor increased his speed, then suddenly, he launched a fire breath ball at the ground, it hit someone, but William couldn't see this someone from high up, he had to check, but what about Victor? But soon enough, king Arthur joined the fight..
King Arthur : "William! I'll take it from here! Go check on everyone, that fireball was huge, there are injuries, I'm sure"
William nods, he fled down to the ground, and the retransformed into his human form. He went around checking the place were the fireball hit, luckily the guards, William's mom and sister were away, Ezra led everyone to a safe place. But, little did he know, someone was hiding away, behind the bushes, the fireball hit near this someone, which cause them to fly away due to the pressure caused by the blast.
William ran to this someone, it can't be her, right? And as he got closer to the body, he confirmed it, it was Rosaline.
He looked in horror as he bowed down on his knees, he held her, trying to shake her awake.
William : "R.Rosaline? Wake up! Rosaline I'm sorry! I led you to this mess! I'm sorry! Wake up please! No no no no, you can't die! Atleast not before, before I tell you how much I love you! So please, please don't die on me!"
Slowly, Rosaline opened her eyes, she was taking hard breaths, she looked at William "Y.Your highness, did, did we win?"
William : "No, not yet. You need to stay strong, I'll get medical help". And as he got up to get help, she held his hand, preventing him from leaving.
Rosaline : "No, it's no use, I don't feel like I'm gonna live much longer, my body is tired, too tired, I can't feel my body, I think my time has come at last." She smiled a bit at the sky, and came king Arthur next, holding Victor's unconscious body.
King Arthur : "We won, I'm gonna put an end to him". And before the king could do anything, William stopped him : "No! Don't kill him, we'll lock him up in a cell, but I can't kill my own brother, let him live in guilt."
King Arthur was surprised by William's request, but didn't object "As you wish".
William turned back to Rosaline "And you, Rosaline, please, try hard, let me get help!"
But she just shock her head slowly. "My time has come, I shall reveal a secret that I kept, for a really long time.
William looked confused, what secret?
Rosaline : "Prince William, I am Rosaline, heiress to the golden dragon blood, I am a hybrid, A half golden dragon, and a half human.
William looked at her shocked, what was she talking about? The golden dragons were the strongest of all, but how? They disappeared long time ago. How was this possible?
She continued : "And as my time comes, I shall pass on this blood in me, and I choose you, to be my heir, the heir to the golden blood, you must let our history and power continue flowing, so, can I count on you, prince William?"
William was still shocked "B.But, I don't want you to die, you still have a lot ahead of you, I..I.."
Rosaline grabbed his hand, holding it "I don't have much time, I will transfer my power to you. And also, I left a book in my room about golden dragons' real history, and the reason they disappeared, continue our legacy, I believe and trust in our future king". And with that, she closed her eyes, letting her soul fly high up.
A few years passed, William was now declared the king. He ruled with love and power, his people were happy with him, everything was going fine. He was now married and has a child, Rosaline, who he was gonna pass the golden power to her, to continue the legacy, as promised.
