The Dragon King's Obsession

King Damien declared, "One of you three will become the Dragon King's wife!" Unbeknownst to Charlotte, this statement would alter her life irrevocably. She transitioned from a forgotten princess to the queen of the feared dragon ruler, Damien PenDraco. Known for his ruthlessness, cold-hearted nature, and intimidating appearance resembling a snake, Damien held great power. Charlotte was the second princess, born to a lesser-favored consort. Her father's declining affection extended to her and her mother, causing them to endure constant bullying from the queen and her daughters. When King Damien proposed marriage, the entire palace was stunned. His true intention was to gain control over the land where the legendary Power Crystal resided, and the king had no choice but to accept. Neither of the king's daughters wished to wed Damien, presenting Charlotte with an opportunity for escape. In exchange for her mother's divorce and newfound freedom, she agreed to the marriage proposal. To her, any place seemed better than the torment she faced. Upon discovering Charlotte's extensive knowledge of archaeology, the king saw potential. He offered her the liberty she yearned for, asking for her assistance in locating the Power Crystal. They struck a deal, embarking on a journey together. However, upon finding the crystal, Damien refused to let her go, declaring, "You belong to me."
