More about the Love Interests;

(Contains spoilers for episode 6!)

Jason Mendal

At first, she couldn't really stand the man, thinking that his ways were too much and finding his personality obnoxious, but she couldn't really ignore Jason's looks for long, as she found him extremely attractive. This made her feel ashamed, since after hearing all the bad things about him from her coworkers she still couldn't help but be captivated by him. After their first encounter, Petronilla's heart would always skip a beat whenever he would show up, and she definitely didn't think that they would cross paths this often nor that the other would make advances with her. She was scared of being played again, so she didn't believe him much at first, but after sometime she started giving it more thought and found their little secret message exchange exciting, always looking forward to their next interaction.

After accepting Jason's help offer on her job, she felt miserable. She was surprised that the other would help her to that extent, but she still felt like what she did was wrong, and struggled to accept her coworkers praise on the well done job, since she didn't feel like she did much at all. Still, she couldn't find the courage to come clean and confess.

After getting sick at the carnival and throwing up, she felt incredibly stupid for getting caught by none other than Jason once again, but she was happy that he offered her his napkin to clean herself up. She doesn't really know why she agreed to play his little game in the mirror maze, or maybe she just doesn't want to admit it to herself just yet...

Amanda De Lavienne

When Petronilla first met Amanda, she felt a little intimidated by the way the other girl was presenting herself, at the same time she found her very attractive and didn't think twice before trying to find more ways to interact with her, such as helping her pick up papers from the floor and always choosing her to work together on projects. She liked the other's confidence, but most of all she really liked her when she showed herself more vulnerable, because she thought that she was very sweet under that rich girl facade.

They went clubbing soon after Petronilla started to work at Devenmentiel, and the sight of the other girl dancing with her hair down never left her mind.

While sharing a taxi ride together, Amanda asked her if she's been with other women before, and Petronilla was very honest and quick to answer. The question made her wonder if that meant that she might have a chance with her new pretty coworker, otherwise why would she even care and ask such a thing? Even if things might never "happen", she's sure to have found a new friend at least.

She didn't know how to feel about things once Amanda and Thomas argued over a ride with her, she had promised to go with Thomas and couldn't really understand why Amanda would act so "possessive" all of a sudden. She ended up disappointing the girl after sticking with her promise to Thomas.

Thomas Rheault

Thomas and Petronilla didn't talk much before they went to the carnival and found out that they wanted to go on the same attractions, which made them spend some time together.

They get along surprisingly well, considering that at a first glace, they don't seem to share much in common, Petronilla being more cheerful and clumsy and Thomas being honestly blunt and efficient. She noticed that although he wouldn't say much, he was very attentive of her and wouldn't mind physical touch, such as holding her hand when she felt scared while riding the attractions together.

They went to the fortune teller together and Petronilla felt surprised to hear the fortune teller say that Thomas was in love with someone, that it wouldn't work out and that it would bring Thomas great sadness in the future. Although she knew that what the fortune teller said wasn't necessarily true nor set in stone, she felt curious and intrigued to know who this person might be, and found herself wanting to know more about the guy, but didn't dare ask more as she felt like they were not close enough and feared a possible rejection.

What stuck in her head the most, though, was the fact that Thomas really seemed to want to ride the last attraction with her, to the length to even "argue" with Amanda about it.

She ended up sticking to her promise to go with him, but never made it in the end as she felt sick from eating too much.

He was the one to find her and Jason in the mirror maze and "save" her from the other (better say interrupt...)

In the end, Petronilla doesn't seem to mind Thomas's attention, they're the same age, talking for them seems pretty easy and the boy did make her heart flutter a couple of times...

First Year

Tags - Dragon! Kyojuro, Cursing, Talk of abuse, Body image.

The year anniversary of your marriage to the Flame king had come much quicker than you expected. It seemed as if the last year had flown by and life had changed within a flash. The party you held was large, welcoming the leaders of the other territories and many friends from around the kingdom of Ashra. You wanted to say you had adapted well to such a different way of living. Something still surprised you, but overall things had gone well. You sat at the head of a long table. Almost all guests in attendance were in their human form. Some had gone off on flights after eating. Some people meandered among the castle grounds, exploring the never-ending halls of the glacier. Your husband was in a heavy conversation with Tengen, the audial dragon, and your sister’s husband. Diane had stayed in Ravenhill, but Tengen had made the flight to come celebrate the love you and Kyojuro had grown. There was a sense of pride among the Ashra kingdom that love had grown between the original betrothal between the Ravenhill kingdom and the Ashra kingdom. Tengen had expressed his admiration for the two of you. He wrote often and took the hour flight every few months to spend time with you in your little home. You wished Diane had opened up to him, that she wouldn’t be crushed under the weight of ‘duty’ and ruling a kingdom alongside your oppressive older brother, Alexander. Your hopes went no where. As Tengen asked Kyojuro for advice on his ‘human wife’ your comprehension of Draconish had been a useful secret that you and Kyojuro kept close to your chest. The immediate family members of the Rengoku family, alongside the sorcerer who helped with the transformation, were the only ones who knew you could understand and speak the language. It was a fun thing to talk about in the comfort of your marriage bed as you and your husband wound down from the day’s events.

“Tengen, my sister was once fun. She held hope for these marriages and love. However, I’ve learned that Alexander and his unchecked anger affected me and most likely her as well. She was closer to him than I was. He was the eldest and did everything to take care of us. But now that he had to share the kingdom and title, he was probably even more cruel. Please be patient with her,” Tengen gave an exaggerated sigh, bringing his wine class to his lips, one shotting the glass of alcohol. You looked at your husband, who gave you a small shrug.

“You say that, but look at the two of you. Both of you are glowing with love and happiness. I mean, you even have evidence!” Tengen made a wave towards your round stomach. You groaned at the thought of this pregnancy. You were beyond excited for the baby between you and Kyojuro, but if you had known that dragon pregnancy lasted 16 months, you would have done everything to make sure it never happened. You were 11 months in, your belly the size of a human six month pregnancy and your body crazed more and more meat each day. The worst part is you craved your husband’s level of spices, ever hot sauce available had been at your fingertips and yet you only wanted it if Kyojuro made it with his own concoction of spices and hot sauces. Kyojuro smiled, his hand rubbing circles on your swollen stomach as you slouched in the chair.

“This is mating, actually, but you’ll get there. Why don’t you and Diane come and stay for a while? I’m sure Y/N and Diane need some time together. We last saw her before we moved here. I’ll message alexander, even Shinobu to convince her. Shinobu will force her out, no doubt.” You nodded as Tengen thought the idea over. Shinobu was a force to be reckoned with. She often wrote to you and Kyojuro about her marriage with Alexander. They had done the duty and had a baby girl, carrying on the Ravenhill line, but that was all it was: duty. Shinobu shared a distaste for her husband, even joked about eating him one day (you didn’t protest) You had cut Alexander off a few months into your pregnancy. He had sent a strongly worded letter claiming you disgusting for mating with your dragon husband and trying to upstage him on power levels. Kyojuro had burned the letter before you could finish reading it aloud to him.

“Take some time here or even in your territory. Shit. Move back here. You aren’t needed in Ravenhill when Giyu and Gyomei are still there working on the expansion. They will be there for a few more years. Up to ten years was the estimated time for completion.” Each word Kyojuro said had Tengen thinking harder, the lines of his face deepening as he lost himself in thought.

“I would very much like to see my sister. We’ve always dreamed about raising our kids together so they can be as close as we were growing up. I would like her to be here while I’m in the last months of my pregnancy” The reminder of the MONTHS left carrying this baby gave you the urge to roll your eyes. You refused to know the gender, so you stuck to calling them sweet bun, addressing them as such when you had moments were Kyojuro wasn’t breathing down your neck with worry.

“Y/N! this dress tonight is stunning. I love that you embrace the red of our family, but the Ravenhill purple is truly stunning on you. You are glowing tonight. Heres to many happy years between the two of you.” Ruka had finally made her way over, nursing a glass of barely drank wine and moving a chair next to you. “I know my son and I know my husband, both impossible to get away from. If you ever need him to get away, just call on me and I will send him and Shinjuro to the southern territories on urgent pregnancy business.” She was chuckling. As someone who had become a constant in your life, she was the mother you wish you had while growing up. She was caring and patient. She understood you with just a look and secretly held control over Shinjuro. She was the head of the Rengoku’s, not the former king or the current one.

“All is well. We are currently trying to convince Tengen to bring his wife for a stay with us. A change of scenery may do them good.” Ruka nodded, waving to get the attention of the audial dragon.

“Tengen, please come visit us! Senjuro has been bugging us to allow him to go to Ravenhill to visit, but you coming is so much better! I would love to meet Y/N’s sister as well! Please!” Tengen couldn’t say no when Ruka asked him. No one could deny her. She may be the strongest woman alive. Not only did she marry and mate the last flame king, but she birthed the current one and is grandmother to the crowned prince of princess.

“I will talk to her. I would advise to write Shinobu as well though, I think her input will be helpful. Diane is more than willing to listen to Alexander and Shinobu.” Tengen shrugged, like he was close to giving up.

            The night had ended for you when you began falling asleep on your husband’s shoulder, his wings wrapping around you without a second thought, surrounding you in warmth. You quickly said goodnight after that, leaving your party to find comfort in your bed.

“Mother was correct when she said you were glowing tonight. I say we change your entire wardrobe to that color.” You gave a tired chuckle as you watched him remove his pajama pants, crawling into bed next to you.

“there’s no need for all of that, but I wouldn’t mind a few more dresses in that fabric after sweet bun arrives. It’s beautiful, but it’s heavy and I don’t want anymore weight on my body.” Kyojuro nodded, hands caressing your bare stomach.

“Can you rub lotion on my stomach? I worry all of these layers rubbing on my stomach will dry it out and cut it.” There wasn’t any hesitation between him grabbing the small tub of lotion on his nightstand and pushing your nightgown so it rested under your breasts.

“Sweet bun wearing you out? Should I take you to the hot springs in Mitsuri’s territory? The one at her home has excellent healing properties. I can send word to her” His hands were warm against your skin. The lavender scent of the lotion always left you sleepy. This had become a nighttime routine. Since Ruka mentioned how dry her skin had been during her pregnancy, you had been incessant on making sure you stayed moisturized and hydrated.

“That seems unnecessary; besides, you have duties here. I shall spend tomorrow resting while you work on meeting with Gyomei’s people about allowing them to farm here, where the grass is healthier. We may all benefit and even the baby might like fresh fruits and vegetables.” Kyojuro made a noise of approval.

“I shall send for a masseuse then. You and the sweet bun will receive pampering. Shall I look into bringing the spicy rice cake soup home for you two as well?” You could drool at the thought of the soup, but you kept your mouth shut, nodding enthusiastically at the prospect of your favorite dinner. The low sound of his voice and his warm hands on your skin made your eyes flutter.

“Mm, your hands are always so nice” His toothy smile had you smiling back, patting his cheek as he laid his head on your chest.

“I love you, my queen”

“I love you too”

The most surreal and funny thing that happened to me in episode 6 was seeing Devon and Roy fighting over having a date with my Candy while I just wanted to get out of there to find Jason! 😭

And then after that, seeing Devon confronting Jason too because he thought Jason was harassing my Candy, when in fact, those two were having some kind of playful flirting.

It seems I'm playing a poly route and I WASN'T MY INTENTION! Help~ 🤣
