Chapter 50- Captured

I

The reddish dragon opened more of its binoculars’ like eyes and followed the two figures as they walked out of the port. When Delta Gano waved into a taxi cab, the woman wearing a Muslim type of dress followed him and she got inside the taxicab, hailed by the Delta Warrior.

Flying slowly, the reddish dragon followed the taxi cab where Delta Gano and the woman in Muslim attire rode. Until the taxicab stopped in an establishment, which seemed to be a lodging house. Bearing in mind the place where Delta Gano and his companion walked in, the dragon flew away, looking for a place where he could shift to his human form, safely and without anyone to notice.

The reddish dragon landed in a nearby forest and there it shapeshifted. Dareon sprinted in his heels upon shifting from his Dragon form to his human form. He ran swiftly out of the forest and into the main road where he saw a taxi cab about to pass him by. Waving his hand, the taxi cab stopped beside him and he quickly got inside the vehicle.

He asked the taxi cab driver to drop him off nearby the lodging house where Delta Gano and his companion seemed to have stayed for the night and then used the nearby payphone to call on the King of the Kingdom of Gold Valley.

At first, the receiver of the call would not want to give his call to the King saying that only important people and calls go to the King. Nearly in a piss-off state, Dareon then said, “If you cannot transfer me to the King then call my wife, First Princess Shelyca and tell her, Dareon her husband is on the phone. If you cannot do that, I will fly back to the palace and behead you myself when I am there.”

Shaken with what he heard, the staff of the Palace on the other line transferred Dareon’s call to the King.

“King Andreios, my father-in-law, yes this is Dareon; I am now at Eastbourne, Sussex and I found Delta Gano here with a woman companion clad in Muslim attire. I have a good guess that his companion is Second Princess Trisha.” Dareon informed the King and gave him the exact location of the lodging house.

“Stay put Dareon, I will be sending immediately a troop there. Thank you.” King Andreios his sincere gratitude for Dareon’s efforts to locate the Second Princess.

“Yes, don’t worry King Andreios, I will make sure they cannot leave this place that easy.”

Dareon entered the cafeteria just in front of the lodging house and ordered coffee to have a reason to stay inside it. Like what he did to the taxi driver, he will just erase the memory of the servers in the cafeteria if it is time for him to pay. They will not remember that he ought to pay them. He knew it is bad but he has no other recourse. Unfortunately, he failed to put money inside the pockets of his clothes before he shapeshifted to being a dragon.

While drinking his coffee, his eyes were focused at the door of the lodging house. His eyes suddenly caught the name again of the lodging house. Its lighted signage says it is Veron’s Lodging.

He calculated the time as he looked at the wall clock hanging on the restaurant just above its door. It is seven o’clock in the evening, so by around eight-thirty in the evening, the troop of warriors from the Kingdom of Gold Valley would arrive at Veron’s Lodging.

More than an hour had passed when Dareon saw the troops of around six warriors from the Kingdom of Gold Valley, clad in their Soldier’s Palace Uniforms entered the Veron’s Lodging.

Dareon stood up and made a secret waving of his right hand towards the staff of the cafeteria erasing in their minds the thought about his unpaid coffee. He made wide steps crossing the distance between the cafeteria and the lodging house.

When the Palace’s warriors saw him, they bowed their heads and called him Prince Dareon, to the surprise of the two lodging staff at the reception area.

“Please tell me the room of your male guest, whose woman companion was wearing a Muslim type of clothing.” Dareon asked in a nice yet very authoritative way while looking into the eyes of the receptionists, trying to enthrall them with his dragon’s power to follow his command.

“It’s room 302 Sir and here is the key.” Being under the spell of the dragon master, the lady receptionist said as she handed to Dareon the key of the room. The male receptionist beside did nothing to resist what his co-receptionist did, which was beyond their company’s protocol in treating the privacy of their guests.

When Dareon opened the door, the six palace warriors entered the room and immediately hand-cupped Second Princess Trisha and Delta Gano, who were then on the bed, kissing and hugging each other, as if they just started their sexual preliminaries.

Shocked and truly surprised, Delta Gano and Second Princess Trisha were not able to resists or fight back.

Delta Gano just looked at Dareon with unfathomable emotion but the Second Princess gazed at Dareon with her fiery eyes and spatted on him but Dareon was swift enough to avoid the woman’s spatted saliva.

“You cannot harm my wife again Second Princess Trisha as long as I live,” Dareon said, glaring back at her with a fiercer look.
