My Dragon Bridegroom

Chapter 1

Once upon a time, there was a nation where humans and dragons were able to live in harmony, a nation where they accepted everything that made it into their walls—this nation was given its name by the people who lived inside its walls—they referred to it as the nation of καλοσύνη, which translates to the word kindness in English.

Its founder-King Arthure Bartholomew the 3rd was a solicitous man who gave to those in need, he was loved by all and once he had passed on, his first son—King Arthure Bartholomew the 4th continued to follow his father's legacy and his beliefs but so did every generation that was to come later down the road, it was not only was it a sign of respect for the beloved-ed previous ruler/father but it was also an alliance of peace that brought both the human race and the dragon race together as one.

The Kingdom of Kindness thrived for many years and there were countless generations of both the human race and the dragon race living together as one in peace.

Unfortunately, something happened that would change the world forever.

For the first time in known history, there was a woman named Elizabeth Genevieve Anne Fletcher—or Queen Elizabeth if you will—who was the first female ruler to ever take full responsibility for a kingdom, which made it a very big deal at the time.

Once nearby nations and kingdoms heard this news many men came to the Kingdom of καλοσύνη to request Lady Elizabeth's hand in marriage in hopes of taking control over the kingdom of καλοσύνη.

Though, because Queen Elizabeth had the power and the right to refuse any proposals due to her position, she swore to the people of the kingdom that she would never accept a man's hand, or that was the case until she met King Alexander James Devereaux from the neighboring kingdom of Dravell.

The kingdom of Dravell had a reputation of being rather cruel to it's people but they were also more wealthy than any other kingdom could've imagined at that time which caught the Queens interest more than anything else.

Queen Elizabeth decided it would be better to have the financial support of King Alexanders nation and so they came to an agreement to be married after only 3 days.

Unfortunately, once King Alexander was given the official title of the new king of καλοσύνη he declared war amongst the dragon race automatically.

He sent countless men out into the city to slay any and every dragon that hadn't escaped the kingdom in time, and because of the dragon massacre that he had started the generational alliance that had been fulfilled for thousands and thousands of years had come to an abrupt end.

Due to King Alexander's actions, hundreds of dragons were massacred in cold blood and their population numbers were lowered to an alarming number, which caused them to fight back for the ones they've lost and that was the beginning of the μεσαιωνικός πόλεμος—or first medieval war.

The war lasted for three whole years and the human returned with victory but if it weren't for their interventions they most certainly would've been defeated without much of a fight, therefore the human race began to create borders to prevent any other dangerous dragons from entering other nations to possibly attack again.

Now this is the part where I'm going to skip a few hundred generations, hi! My name is Atticus Bloom and I am what most people would call a dragon slayer, I lives inside the walls of the Shaemore Empire but some people prefer to call it the nation of trading.

I've lived here all my life but I've only been training as dragon slayer for a year or two now, but I've managed to work my way up to a pretty high rank with my skills alone—I wouldn't say I'm super strong or anything but I do have this unique skill to see things farther away than most people but I've been told I've got some pretty amazing stamina too!
