I slipped discretely into my clothes and Darda led the lord and me down the long halls to the ground floor. We passed many other servants of various sizes, and some even of different builds. Swarthy ones with beards and thin ones with pale skin. Some of them wore the green and red colors, others had on clothes that matched those colors of the other dragon lords. All of them stepped aside and bowed their heads to us as we passed.

The main stairs led to a large entrance hall that connected with the castle’s interior courtyard. Darda led us left and into a magnificent banquet hall. There were no primitive benches crowded with ruffians. Here there was a single long table with high-backed chairs and elegant curves. The wall opposite the double-doors was covered in tapestries that depicted dragons flying over the countryside. Several of them bore the crests of the various dragon lords.

At the end of the table farthest from the doors sat two familiar faces. One was the pale, young dragon lord, and the other was Stephanie. She turned in her chair and her eyes fell on me. Her face brightened with a smile. She stood and rushed over to me as well as her golden-hemmed white dress would allow.

Stephanie clasped my hands in hers. “Miriam! I’m so glad to see you!”

My dragon lord came up to stand beside me. His eyes twinkled with mischief. “So that is your name.”

I glared at him. “You don’t have to use it if you don’t want to.”

He chuckled and bowed his head. “I would be honored.”

The slim lord stood and walked over to us to bow his head to my lord. “Thank you for agreeing to-” My dragon lord held up his hand.

“Not so formal this early, Cayden,” he pleaded. “I had enough heads bowed to me on the journey to this room to have my fill of formality for another day.”

The young lord raised his head and blinked at him. “But My Lord-”

“You have called me that since you were a young hatchling. Now that we are equals, I demand you call me Xander,” my lord insisted.

I arched an eyebrow. “That’s your name?”

He turned to me with a smile. “I won’t force you to use it.”

“I would be glad to use it,” Cayden spoke up.

Xander clapped his hand on Cayden’s back and led him toward the end of the table. “Then we shall both be satisfied.”

I turned my attention to Stephanie who followed the gold-trimmed lord with a soft gaze. “Has he been treating you well?” I whispered to her.

She started and returned her eyes to me. A blush colored her cheeks and she looked down at the floor. “Really well.”

I leaned back and looked her over. “Where are your old clothes?”

“In our-my room,” she told me.

I arched an eyebrow and glanced past her at the pair of dragon-men. They were engrossed in their conversation. I looked back to Stephanie and lowered my voice so only she could overhear what I said.
