"The third advantage is speed." Heinrich said. He then demonstrated a blindingly fast combination of thrusts that left Ethan very glad he wasn't trying to block a real spear.
"Now, I will show you how to use a spear."
For the entire rest of the day, Heinrich drilled Ethan on the proper use of a spear. His only breaks were for water and food, both of which he gulped down like a man stuck in a desert for too long. At the end of the day, he started sparring with some of the other soldiers and promptly got his ass kicked. He lost every single match and none was close.
Later that night, Ethan crawled into the bed at the guard's barracks. Every inch of his draconic body ached from bruises and sore muscles. Beth had wanted to keep his mind off of Alana, and it had worked. He had barely had time to think of her since training began. However, lying there in bed, both of them came into his mind.
He had two women in his head, one he loved and the other he was going to marry. Right then Ethan resolved to be the best possible husband he could be to Beth. She was kind, great company, and he thought she would make a great wife. He would try to make her happy in every possible way...
But he missed Alana.
His brain was screaming there was no way to make them both happy.
His heart however...
From somewhere deep in his soul, he had this certainty welling up. He didn't know where it came from, but he had this instinctive certainty that eventually it would all work out. He didn't know how or when, but his dragon instincts told him it was a forgone conclusion; that they would both be blissfully happy at his hand.
He had no idea how it could happen, he just hoped he was right.

Anonymous3 months agoA rather st**** build op in drama with a lot of questionable decisions of the mc.
Really? Bound by a contract?
He is a lord, and a public statement with the party involved to „not marry his daughter“ would have been enough.
I know this is an old chapter, but please future authors, think about your build up in drama.
Anonymous11 months agoMy god I should be sleeping but instead I keep reading chapters hoping against hope that this gets better. It’s so bad and it’s so well rated. This doesn’t make sense. I’ll read another chapter and maybe the writing and the story and the pacing and the everything will just get slightly slightly better. Who is rating these?
Anonymousabout 1 year agoI'm reading comments again, which I know better.......I'm not sure why Beth is labeled as an airhead. I also see Ethan should have run off with Alana. Sure and word of the engagement would have made it to lord Delmar. Who they have already stated likes to strike at the heart. So even if they ran off, Beth would be at risk. The same thing if the city people think Beth's father ran them off. It could come across as him breaking a contract. He explained how that could lead his family to be poor and probably killed. Yes it hurts that Alana is hurting like this, but what is the option? Run off/refuse and sentence Beth to death? I guess if He refused then it wouldn't be the father breaking a contract...... That would just mean another wealthy enemy for Ethan to have to worry about.
@Jackspeed2u The contract was for the person that rescued them. Not for the one that sent someone to rescue them. Even if Ethan and Alana were just scouting, they did in fact rescue Beth and Charles.
@Nirosu Who exactly would she go to? Can it be removed or stopped? Would the person recognize her and refuse? Then they could tell her asshole father. What would he do about it? He attacked her and beat her for being rude to a suitor. What would he do if she started doubting his word? I shutter to think.
Just my opinions,

Jackspeed2uabout 1 year agoThe stupid thing is that the bank owner and the Guard captain and the dragon could have come to an agreement that it was actually the guard that rescued the girl and boy because the dragon and the elf ‘were in fact working for and under the guidance of the guard and the guard had just sent them ahead to scout for the kidnappers BUTIT WAS THE GUARDS SHOW AND HE WAS THE LEADER and so the rescuer.’
So there you have it, job done problems solved. If the other guards bucked the story the guard could say the elf and dragon were secretly hired as dragons are dangerous and he didn’t trust his fellow guards to blab in the city about the crazy plan and thus warn the kidnappers. Done and wrapped up.
