The Dragon Prince’s Forbidden Affair

Mom and I were on her bed in our pajamas drinking tea, “So is Lexus always high?” Mom asked. We were on the topic of relationships, so I guess that’s why she had to throw that question in.

I chuckled nervously. “Only a quarter of the time. More often now that we’re not in the castle anymore. Do you think that’s bad?”

Mom shook her head. “I guess it’s fine as long as he does what he needs to do.” She took a sip of her tea then said, “It was just a little bit of a surprise seeing him like that after dinner two weeks ago.”

I could understand that. “Mom… have you been keeping up with the news? Everyone’s calling me a trader.”

Mom sighed. “Yeah I’ve seen it. Don’t let it get to you Aqua, you’ve been doing good.” I had told her about the little things I was doing for the village I was staying in and the neighboring villages. I think you should start doing bigger things you know. Magic users and spell casters usually take jobs posted online or on notice boards.”

I finished my tea and put the cup on the counter. “You think I’ll be up to it?”

“Of course, your abilities are maturing and you’re a natural at magic.” My mother had been picking up where our gram left off with teaching me.

I laid back. “I’ll do that, but you’ll have to come with me when I take my first official big job.”

“I will but you need to join the coven first, I think it’ll really be good for you.” She insisted.

I grabbed my shoulder. “Shit.” I swore from pain.

“What’s wrong?”

My heart started racing from fear.
