The Dragon Prince's Forbidden Affair novel Chapter 9

"Sounds rough, do you think you'd even make a good adviser?" She said as she kneeled to look at some folded clothes closer to the ground. "You know nothing about our culture or history. Do humans even still have royalty? Did they teach you anything about aiding leaders? Here advisers are taught how as soon as they start their education."

I was nervous from her judgment that seemingly came out of nowhere. "No... were you taught to be a Queen as soon as your education started?"

She whipped around to me then stood up. I thought she was going to yell at me or lash out in some way, but she let out a burst of laughter. "I deserved that. I've only been learning recently. I shouldn't have come at you like that. I'm just disappointed Cade might not be our adviser, that's all." I've been wanting to ask Cade if he resents me for possible taking his position or if he's fine with it. Now I knew one person wasn't fine with it. "Let's start over, I really do want to learn more about you."

I let out a sigh of relief. I didn't want to start off on the wrong side of her. Especially when her fiancée already cheated on her with me once. "Konn says I have intuition and I think I do because sometimes I just know stuff." I've never talked to someone about this before.

"Ooh." She responded before she started handing me a few pieces of clothes. "Let's talk about Konn." She was more interested in drama than my powers. "Are you pissed at him for not raising you? I know I would be."

I looked at the clothes she handed me and started putting back what I didn't like and keeping what I did. "I don't know how I feel about him yet. I think I'm more confused about why he didn't come back on his own and why he didn't raise me." I looked up at the ceiling because of how high it was.

Sadia was basically picking out all my clothes for me while I sorted through them. "I've known Konn for a while and he is kind of hard to understand. I bet Lynn was mad when she found out Konn had a whole other kid."

"Lynn?"

She looked at me. "Cade's Mom and Konn's mate." It made sense that I wouldn't have the same mother as Cade. I just thought I'd might. I wonder what it was like being mated with someone you chose. "You'll probably meet her soon."

I started tapping my hand against one of the clothing tables. "She'll probably hate me." I mumbled.

"Maybe at first," Sadia said. "What was your mother like? I'd love to know if Konn had a type different from Lynn."

I wish I knew what my mother was like. I wish I knew so many things I didn't. "I wasn't raised by my birth mother. I was raised by two humans who found me when I was a baby."

Sadia looked surprised. "What?" Her expression changed to a look of sympathy. "That's even more horrible. I assumed you lived with your mother. I thought she was one of the few dragon shifters who lived in the human world blending in. Did you even know what you were?"
