Chapter I

My name is Silvia Blindston and I am a royal nurse. I was tasked with taking care of the 6th prince of the Kalter Kingdom. I feel sorry for the child. Ever since the day the princess dropped him off to me, no one ever visited. They wanted the child to die, I'm sure.

When the the child was brought to me, it was silent. After a few hours, it suddenly started crying. I imagine the hunger finally got to him. I paced around the room going over my options. How could I save the child? They didn't even give me resources to find someone who could breastfeed the baby. The only alternative to milk I could get as a nurse was cowver milk. Generally, children 4 years and older could safely drink the milk of a cowver, but it was dangerous for babies. So, I'm at a loss on how to get the baby some milk. The only other options were expensive and far out of my reach as a nurse.

While I was thinking things over, I heard a knock on the door. It was heavy knock that shook the hinges on the door. I opened it and saw someone I never thought I'd see in my lifetime. Someone only recognizable by her fiery red hair and bright green eyes. It was Sarena, the dragoness. She didn't look at me, but past me. I was shaking despite not being the object of her gaze. She was looking at the baby intently. She bypassed me and took heavy steps towards the baby. She looked at it for a few minutes before sighing.

“This child..” she said. She turned to me abruptly. In an accusatory tone, she said “are going to just let this baby die”.

“I-I have nothing to feed it with.”

“It's a prince. How can you not have something to feed it with?” Now, she was glaring at me. I was filled with the urge to run and hide in a hole.

I looked back and forth before I told her that the prince was useless to the Prince Calir and Princess Adriana. They would not use their resources to buy the child milk. They wanted it dead or simply did not care enough.

Sarena stood still for few minutes. Around her, a bloodlust so strong formed that I literally pissed myself. I backed out of the room. I could feel her growing rage. Then, I thought of the baby. What must it be feeling?

“That's the problem with you humans. Trash, the lot of you.”

The most unspeakable thing occurred next as I stared into the room from the outside. Sarena picked up the baby. She sat in the chair net to the crib and began to breastfeed him. My bottom lip hung down in a gape. I was completely confused. The actions of Sarena defied all logic.

“The king sent me to check on the child. Go now and come back in an hour.”

I closed the door and left promptly. I knew I should keep my mouth shut especially with things regarding Sarena. She was one of the most vengeful dragons alive. Gossiping about her was truly a death wish. Despite this, I still wondered. Why was Sarena here in the kingdom? 

***************************************************************************************************************************

Alone with the baby, Sarena looked into its bright blue eyes. Normally, children of all ages averted their eyes, but the child in her arms looked back into hers with no fear. Sarena had never had a child before, but her siblings had. Each one of their children were deathly afraid of her as well. Seeing this human child looking at her intently made her chuckle. She decided then, that she would take care of this child. At the very least, she would ensure that it had milk and someone else to take care of it before she left for her home.

So, for seven days, Sarena came back and forth to breastfeed the baby. She left on the eight day after securing the needs of the child.

On the eight day after Sarena's departure, the royal nurse was inexplicably ordered to bring the baby to see the king.
