Chapter 209: Bloom

Dedicating todays Chapter to 394everr.

" You are going to turn this back on them aren’t you?" Blaise has seen enough of Yakov’s skills to know that he was a man who would return every favour ten folds. Isn’t this the reason why he came up with the plan of dethroning Bree and having her caged all locked up in a place like he was after becoming her consort? After Yakov became Bree’s consort he had to hand away all his respect and pride as a dominant shifter and was reduced to becoming nothing but a mere plaything for the Queen.

Just how many nobles and officials treated him as a male gigolo just because he became one of many consorts of the Dragon Queen? The answer was too many.

And as Bree’s mate, Yakov was willing to do it all but in return, all he wanted was for her to respect him and treat him like a mate, not a man who was only worth warming her bed but the Queen has done just that, she hasn’t tried to get close to him nor has she tried to get to know him, leaving him alone in the harem to face the nobles who didn’t even look at him as a man anymore.

Yakov had tried to silently endure it all because he was the type of guy who would bottle it all up before going ——Boom and then start counting all the crimes you have committed against him before he decides just what kind of punishment you deserve.

He was a man who would count the crimes his wife has committed against him, so of course, he was going to take care of those death-seeking idiots who were planning to hurt his wife as well, and unlike the time when Bree was concerned he will not hold back when it came to people like the Duke and his uncle.

Yakov stood up from his chair and smiled at Blaise, the bless you heart kind of smile as he softly said, " Why ask questions that you already know the answer to third consort?"

" What are you going to do?" Blaise asked but the man in question simply walked out of the room and shut the door behind him with a bang leaving Blaise all confused and enraged. " Damn that mutt, he has always been like that!"

Blaise knew Yakov and he knew that he was a man who showed little to no emotions in front of anyone, if he wasn’t wrong even the number of genuine smiles he showed to the Queen was limited.

" So, what’s your name?" Bree asked as she looked at the young unicorn elf who was trying on the maid’s uniform, it was a good thing that she didn’t have to look hard for creating another identity for the elf, all she had to do was to ask one of her maids to get her uniform and hand it over to the elf, with so many maids following her, Bree was sure that the Duke will never be able to count just how many maids she brought with her and with his arrogance, she knew that he would not even care to take another glance at her maids.

So, all she need to do was to introduce the elf as one of her maids and she would be done with it but it would be a little weird in case she didn’t know the name of her maid, that was why she asked the elf for her name, surprisingly, she received an answer that she hasn’t expected at all.

" I don’t remember," the young elf replied after she was done fitting herself into the uniform that was a size too big for her, Bree noted it down, she was going to ask Blaise to help the young elf with that loose dress of hers but for now that didn’t matter at all. She sat up straight on the bed she was leaning on and then repeated what the young elf has said, " You don’t remember? How come you don’t remember your own name?" She asked.

"It’s part of the magic, your majesty," answered the young elf as if she was simply stating facts that were known to the world. " The population of our kind is really small and we take care of every precaution to make sure that no shifter or human would be able to reach us. When a unicorn elf is born, their parents cast magic on their young ones, in case the unicorn elf is lost and comes in contact with the outside world, they would not be able to find their way back home nor would they be able to remember their life together with the clan, not even their names."

" That’s horrible." Bree understood the reasons for all the precautions that the Unicorn elves put against the shifters but this...this was simply too harsh, this young elf not only forgot her name but most probably even forgot just what kind of life she has been living before including the faces of her parents and family. " They are too cruel don’t you think so?"

" Being cruel is the only reason our kind have been able to survive for this long, your majesty," the young elf on the contrary seemed perfectly at ease with what happened to her, in fact, she even justified the actions of her clans saying, " If I was unfortunate and fell in the hands of some poachers or hunters than I would have put my family’s life in danger but since I can’t go back, my clan would be fine."

Even though Bree knew that the young elf would be fine, she still thought it was too cruel. The way they were left behind all because of some greedy shifters, was simply too much! But at the same time, she felt that it was maybe her own incompetence that was causing so many problems in this world, it was because she was still too weak to take care of people like Duke Cilantro that the magical creatures like unicorn elves have to live like this.

She looked at the young elf and thought about the Phoenix offsprings that were locked up by the Duke and suddenly felt her heart being set ablaze on fire. This won’t do, for the sake of these small kids she has to work harder and take care of people like Duke Cilantro and his uncle properly, only then magic like the one that was cast on this young elf would vanish one day.

" Then how about I name you?" Bree was determined to work hard for the sake of this world but that was a long journey and she was still on the starting line, so she might as well take care of tiny things like this.

The young elf raised her head before she thought over what Bree has said carefully and after a very long pause, she nodded slightly. " I would like a name, being called ’you’ makes me slightly upset."

Bree also agreed with her words, the young elf was not a pet ..in fact, even a pet needs a loving doting name. So, calling the young elf ’you’ just because she forgot her name was a bit rude, she rummaged through all the names that she knew and finally came up with the one name of the girl she was impressed seriously impressed with. " How about a Bloom? There is this girl that I once knew, she had the same name and when she grew up she became a really successful woman."

A CEO of her own company that was what the Bloom she knew became, unlike her who was too scared of taking risks and was afraid of even doing something as simple as betting on the stocks, Bloom took the risks and it paid off, she worked hard for years before her start-up became something much bigger than she has anticipated.

The last time Bree saw her friend, she was being interviewed by a well-known magazine and as for her, she was watching her friend get interviewed by the magazine in her small coop of an apartment.

If she knew that her life was this short then maybe Bree would have taken the offer that her friend gave to her and lived her life to the fullest.

" Really?" The young elf asked sounding a bit sceptical.

Bree sincerely nodded her head and said, " Really, that friend of mine became really great, so why not? Maybe who knows you will be able to do some great things as well?"

The young elf nodded after much hesitation, seeing that she has agreed Bree christened her with the name ’Bloom’ before getting up from her bed and stretching her limbs. "Let’s go, Bloom, we need to get ready because today is the long-awaited visit to the orphanage centres."

She might be pretending that she was under the control of the Duke but that didn’t mean that she was willing to let go of her chance to secure the area and note down the abnormalities that she needed to take care of while they were rescuing the Phoenix children.
