The Dragon Queen and her mates.
Chapter 32: Self respect?

Chapter 32: Self respect?

"Self-respect?" chuckled Bree upon hearing those as she swooped down and pinched Harley’s face with her fingers. Then without even bothering to lower her voice, she continued, " You came rushing here despite being engrossed in work, I will not ask about how exactly you found about the situation here but as soon as you came here, you went ahead on your knees and begged me to forgive the second consort, with what rights if not for you being his bedmate. Because ten soldiers are standing here, with twenty maids and fifty or so male servants, they watched me punish the second consort and didn’t dare to say a word, so why is it that you are the only one who begged me to show leniency?"

Harley’s eyes flickered with sharp glints, most probably she was trying to converse with the system in her head but even after waiting for a long while when she didn’t say anything, Bree pushed her away and watched how she fall to the ground. " Miss maid seemed to have forgotten that I have grown up in the castle with concubines fighting for favour left and right, I have seen enough and with one glance I can tell whether or not a woman has feelings for a man or not, do you think that your small tricks can escape my eyes?"

This time all the colour drained from Harley’s face as she noticed the subtle change in the gazes of the people around her, why ...why did the Dragon Queen not kick her down? Why did she not bully her like she always did? And why wasn’t her powers working? What was wrong with her system? It couldn’t even get this damned Dragon Queen to act the role she was supposed to be playing! How come she suddenly became so smart and even dug a pit for her?

" Your majesty, I——-"

" Enough!’ Before Harley could say anything, Ahmar interrupted her with a loud shout that echoed around the garden with such anger and frustration that Harley’s hair stood on the wrong end. " If My Queen wants me to go to the black tower, then I as her husband and mate, is willing to do so, who are you to tell me what I or I cannot do?" And as if to draw a clear line between him and Harley, he raised his head and looked at Bree with a determination that she has never seen before, " And my Queen, I do not have a bed mate, even if I did, I would have never taken such a clumsy and stupid woman as my mate, not even in a million years."

While he was saying these words, he glared at Harley through his peripheral view causing the latter to shiver in fear and anger. Why? Why did this happen? She wanted to raise her intimacy points with Ahmar so that she could get closer to him, among the four consorts, he was the harder to tame with his bad boy personality but because of this failure, her points decreased instead of increasing!

And this happened because of this cannon fodder Queen who should have died if not for her getting her head straight!

Inwardly, Harley was furious but she didn’t dare to say anything. With her head lowered she furtively watched as the guards took Ahmar to the black tower and her heart started to ache, even more, clearly, she deserved him more than the Dragon Queen who did not even care about his life and death, yet she was the one who couldn’t even touch him!

She loved him with all her heart, so why was it she was the one who couldn’t have him?

Bree watched Harley looking at Ahmar’s vanishing back and sneered, this woman really didn’t learn her lesson, does she? Just a few minutes ago she clearly told her to stop acting so shamelessly yet Harley was now back to her antics again, what was the meaning of this?

A chill seemed to have wrapped around her heart as a cold fury ignited in her body, she didn’t know why she was angry but she didn’t like seeing Harley look at Ahmar maybe it was because of the incident where Harley tried to use her as a stepping stone, Bree didn’t know why she was so mad but she walked closer to Harley before she could even stop herself then in a voice that was neither too loud nor soft, she snickered. " Do you know what people call woman like you?"

Harley’s eyes snapped to her as she carefully looked at her but Bree could see the anger and challenge flash in the eyes of the omega female. Hah, to think a canary the size of Saphira’s eye was challenging her, maybe this was why the four consorts found her interesting.

" They call them promiscuous mistresses," sneered Bree as she walked away not bothering to look at Harley’s twisted expression at all.

Harley’s fingers clenched as she glared at the dragon queen and whispered under her breath. " And they call people like you shamelessly sl*ts."

She knew that with her sense of hearing, Bree would be able to hear her and sure enough the latter paused and looked over at her shoulder, staring right at her. Harley raised her chin and met Bree’s gaze, yes she was a promiscuous woman, so what? She was still better than Bree who cheated on her mates with males of no origins, though Bree said that it was a test, Harley knew that it was just a cover-up for her shameless deed!

Bree watched in amusement as the omega female looked at her like she was prepared to fight with her and sneered as she parted her lips and mouthed something to Harley causing the latter’s face to flush redder than ever.

Then without caring about her reaction, she turned around and left, not even bothering to look at her.

Harley’s face twitched as her entire body trembled with fury. Did that woman really say those words to her? Did she really ask her ’who are you?’ She once served her for more than ten months and yet that woman asked her, ’ who is she?’ Really?

" I will make you pay for this insult! Just you watch me!" snarled Harley under her breath. Yes, she was sure she will make Bree pay one day.
