The Dragon King and His Fallen Star Novel - Chapter 75

Chapter 41 : The Guy She Met - 2 My eyes narrowed the moment she sat . " What is that ? " I asked , tone bone - dry . Her brows knit together , as if the question itself were absurd . " It's a rabbit , " she said . Clanm Someone at the table snorted , but I didn't look away from her . " I'm aware ," I said through clenched teeth . " What I'd like to know is why it's sitting at my table . " She blinked , then shrugged . " He's hurt ," she said simply . " I'm keeping him so I can take care of him . " My jaw tightened . " No. You're . Not ." I gestured toward the animal .

" I don't allow wild beasts in the castle . " " He's not wild , " she snapped back . " And he's not a beast . " Then , more quietly , but with a bite . " Besides , most of you are half - beasts - and yet you're allowed to stay inside . " The table fell silent . Not the amused , expectant hush from before - this was different . The kind of silence that settled just before a storm split the sky . Everyone had gone still , watching me . Because they knew - she'd pushed it too far . But I wasn't going to lose it . Not with her .

I inhaled slowly through my nose , forcing the fury back down where it belonged . " Take it outside . Now , " I ordered , my voice quiet but edged like a drawn blade Eirlys didn't flinch . Didn't look away . She met my glare head - on . " Fine . I will , " she said , chin tilting up . " After he's eaten . He's hurt ." The heat behind my eyes flared . I opened my mouth to demand it be done now - but Orryx raised a hand beside me . A silent gesture . Let it go . Just this once . I clenched my jaw so tightly I felt it in my temples . Fine . Let her win this round .

I gave her one last hard look - a warning , not a surrender . " Feed it , " I muttered . " Then it goes . " ୮ I could've sworn she rolled her eyes before turning back to her plate , casually slipping bites to the ridiculous thing nestled in her lap . I focused on my food , but my gaze kept drifting back to her . She couldn't even eat properly - lifting that fat rabbit to her shoulder between bites . It sniffed at her neck , nibbled at her ear . And she giggled .

I wanted to rip the creature from her arms and toss it out myself - for doing the things I've always wanted 1 : 3 Chapter 41 The Guy She Met 2 to , but never could . Claim Thankfully , she set it down on the floor - though she kept sneaking bits of food beneath the table . And sure enough , the rabbit had a limp . , When her plate was empty and the lazy creature looked just as full , Eirlys scooped it into her arms . " Time to go , " she whispered to it gently . She stood and walked away without so much as a glance in my direction .
