The Dragon Prince’s Forbidden Affair

We stayed silent for a while watching the sky. “Is your father still alive?” I broke the silence.

“He is but he moved out of the castle years ago. It was hard on him to be there without my grandfather. Ten years after his death he left.” It was hard for Konn to talk about. “…I was already the royal adviser for a few years before he left. I think I’m making him proud. He knew about you, actually he went with me to drop you off into the human world. He told me I was doing the right thing but if he knew you were the holder, he wouldn’t have felt the same way. He would have firmly believed in the holder being raised here. When he finds out you’re back and that you’re the holder he’ll be disappointed. His father was the last holder so it’s personal for him. He was so sure it was Cade. He didn’t think a hybrid could be the holder.”

“News spreads fast. Isn’t it going to be public knowledge that I’m the holder soon?” I asked.

“We’re going to announce it at the full moon ball. My father will be there.” Now I had more to worry about.

I wasn’t even sure if I was invited but it was obvious now. “Are you ever going to let anyone know I’m half human?”

We got up. “It’s no one's business Aqua. Lynn would be even more mad if she found out my affair was with a human. Don’t even tell Cade or Sadia. You’ll shift soon. The king and queen don’t even want people knowing you were raised in the human realm. They definitely wouldn’t want people knowing your half human. I don’t have a problem with it, but I don't want anyone using it against you.”

I sort of understood the necessity of keeping it a secret now, but I hope I wouldn’t have too for long. “Will you teach me how to fly?”

Konn chuckled. “Of course, I will.” He shifted into his dragon form and I climbed on top. I called Calvin and asked him to meet me in the city.

Konn overheard me and landed where I planned to meet Calvin. He was in his human form. “The suns going down, you should get back before it gets too late.” He patted my head. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Okay Dad.” It felt right to call him that for the first time.

He smiled as he walked off.
