SPELLBOUND

Chapter 216 - Colour

"What's wrong?" Levy replied. "I am simply going to teach them how to treat a lady nicely – as how they deserved to be treated."

"You're going to teach them how to flirt and become a creep like you." Zolan quickly replied with a snort.

"Geez, sir Zolan… here we go again, didn't I tell you many times before? We handsome men should not be called creeps. We should be called seductive –"

"You're the only one thinking that way. Now shut up and go call Samuel to come over. It's time for dinner." Zolan put an end to Levy's nonsense and gave him an order to send him away for a while.

When everyone was gathered around the table with Evie sitting at head seat as it was the seat Zanya led her to, everyone started on their dinner.

For the first time in a long time, they all finally ate at a decent table, under a roof. And now, with an addition of a new member to the group too.

Evie's attention immediately fell on all the fresh fruits piled into a few bowls and eyed it with much interest. Seeing where the princess' focus fell on the table, Zanya merrily rattled off each name of the fairy's fruits and passed them to Evie to have a taste of each one of them. After tasting every one of the fruits that Zanya held out to her, Evie found them to be incredibly delicious and even encouraged her men to try it. Though she knew that the men favoured red meats more than anything else, she still urged them to try with sparkling eyes. Looking at the princess, the men could not bear to let her down thus, they all stretched out their hands to grab any random fruit that were placed in the fruit bowls.

The vampires could only bring the fruits to their mouths to have a taste too. But they were not as pleased with the taste of the fruits as Evie was. Though, for them, these fruits tasted way better than fish! The thought of fish just gives them the shivers. Though all fruits just do not taste that great to them, they still could at least make themselves eat them.

After trying the fruits that the princess had offered, the men then went back and feasted on the various styles of meat dishes that Elias had cooked up while Evie and Zanya feasted on the different fruits. The men guessed that as both the princess and Zanya were of fae descent, that could be a main factor on why they would prefer feasting on fruits rather than on meats.

…

The next morning, Evie woke up early, even before the sun had risen and was already started on her training. Zanya was next to her, and the vampires were there too watching intently and just being available just in case there was anything untoward happens.

Evie had called on Crimson again as she wanted to make sure she would be able to fully control her. She had managed to call the same dragon with her intense concentration at once.

Then they were up in the sky again, circling the immediate area.

The next moment, everyone on the ground saw the dragon breathe out fire in the sky, lighting up the gloomy clouds for a moment.

"She's controlling it! The princess did it!" Levy exclaimed, seeing that the dragon breathed fire towards the sky to avoid hurting them who were gathered right below.

"Yes, I think the princess already learned how to control the dragons. Just remember when she came and saved us from the savage orcs…" Zolan said, not taking his eyes off her.

"Right. I guess, there is nothing else left for her to learn?" Luc replied, wondering. Then his eyes twinkled in excitement. "Damn! I'm hella excited now to go back and kick Caius' ass. I can't wait to see how those assholes will end up looking like when they finally see our very own princess calling her dragon to fight! Most especially, I can't wait to see His Highness' reaction once we find him!"

The men looked like they all had the same thought and were pumped up with excitement. They could not wait to meet their prince again and see his reaction once he learns all about what his treasured and beloved wife had become and accomplished.

That very same day, after Evie managed to take full control of Crimson, she tried to call on another dragon.

The next dragon that had responded to Evie's call was of the exact same size as Crimson. Seeing that its chest did not show the same reddish colour as Crimson, Evie now could tell it was a male dragon even without Zanya informing her.

Evie noticed the edges of the dragon's spikes had a colour between blue and yellow. "Alright, your name will be Fir." She declared and then after that she rode on Fir as well. Evie had quite a hard time in controlling Fir. Much more than she had with Crimson.

So in the end, Evie gave up trying to control him for now. She knew she would eventually be able control Fir but since she did not have much time to spare, she decided to attempt in controlling the other dragons first. She thought that she would call the dragons that were a little more tame so she need not exhaust her magic and energy too much from trying hard in controlling them.

It was already night when she attempted calling on her third dragon. Another male dragon with orange brownish colour on its spikes flew above her before landing right in front of Evie in response to her summons.

Evie approached it and caressed its snout before she spoke.

"Titian." Evie declared with a satisfied smile, "Your name will be Titian."
