E55 vouchers " I think Your Majesty should pardon her , she is new around the palace , and doesn't understand the gravity of her actions . " " That's the exact reason the emperor should have her punished , " Azarok countered with a frown on his face . It was outrageous ; never had he ever thought there would be a day a dragon would take the side of a pathetic human . " It's best we make her understand that we will leave no room for defiance and insolence ." The emperor simply sat with one fist squared underneath his cheeks as he watched without interest as the members of the council argue within themselves . But he never expected to have people who wished the human princess well . Erevan stepped forward as well . " I think Draven is right , the emperor should be merciful , and humans are quite more delicate than we think . " He started , since he was noticing the very thing his friend was pointing out . The emperor didn't truly need the council to tell him when and whom to kill ; he always did that part with pleasure . " Instead of being punished , she should be given an etiquette teacher , and once she disrespects the emperor again , even after the knowledge of the palace , then we will rule out a befitting punishment ." " These damn hatchlings telling us what to do in the council that we have built for hundreds of years , " Sarkan spat his green eyes blazing with anger . " The reason we added you to the council isn't to go against us , it is to instill the principles and the morals of a true dragon into the heart of the younger generation ." " That is exactly why we making our values as well , " Erevan answered , knowing it was quite wrong to go against the elders , especially since his uncle was one of the core members of the council . " I am sure you didn't allow us to stand here as equals just to shut our opinions away ." Sarkan's eyes flashed anger again and before he could speak there was a long bang coming from the throne , everyone cowered as fear settled upon them . For a brief moment , the hall felt like the emperor had no presence and now that he does , he seemed to be angry . " Sarkan ... " He called out , his voice cold , and the room temperature dropped so low that ice began to appear at the bottom of the brick walls of the hall . Draven's breath shook . this cannot be good , and they didn't know what they had said to make the emperor angry . And so the rest of them lowered their heads in utmost respect and because the pressure was too much to handle , " What qualm you have with the human princess ? " Even though he seemed annoyed , his voice was still oddly still , and they hoped to Drakor , the dragon god , that he remained sane . " Your majesty , I only speak out of concern for you ." He muttered a little , shaky , but not hesitant . " According to the principles of our father and the ones before us , there can't be a relationship between a mere human and your divine body . At most , the beautiful ones are used as tools for satisfaction and nothing more , but your majesty has not only proposed a marriage to a human but also brought one into the chambers that is meant for the dragon empress . Defying the sacred chambers , and then she dared to summon you like a handmaiden . All these are unacceptable according to our laws and customs , these are our grievances . " He bowed again and then took a step backwards . 11:04 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 12 : 61 55 vouchers " Draven ... " the emperor called calmly again , and the young dragon felt his breath hitch in his throat as soon as he heard his name . " Yes , your majesty . " He stuttered as he neared forward , his head remained bowed . " All these things that Elder Sarkan has mentioned , which one of them do you think is a lie ? " He asked the hall shook with gasps . Erevan grabbed the fabric of his garment , this was a trap , the emperor was trying to trap Draven , and he hoped his subordinate was wise enough to see it . He just couldn't help but be worried for the reckless dragon . " Your Majesty , there are no lies in all the things Elder Sarkan has mentioned . " Draven muttered his legs shaking , the voice of the emperor seemed heavy and he could feel it in his legs . " Why are you in the defense of the human ? " He asked again . " I believe your majesty has developed an interest in the human girl ." Draven answered fearlessly , and the whole courtroom echoed with gasps , how outrageous , but none of the elders could say a thing , because speaking out turn in this very moment would get them killed . Erevan clenched his teeth , it would be difficult for Draven to survive this one , the whole courtroom grew still as though time had stopped and then the emperor burst into uncontrollable laughter . " Tell me why you think so ? " " Pardon me for saying this , Your Majesty . But you are not the one to keep toys for anything , you have had no reason to keep anyone for centuries , and now suddenly there is a rude , obnoxious human girl who told you to fight for your honor and even broke your honor yet you won't kill her . " Draven maintained his position . " I personally don't believe that it should be a taboo for dragons to get engaged with humans . You can find your mate anywhere , as long as Drakor blesses it . And by his blessing you shall find happiness ." **** " I thought you were going to die , " Erevan muttered as he neared his friend , the emperor had said nothing , instead he just got up and left , leaving everyone else in awe and shock . " Me too ... " Draven heaved a sigh as he wiped the sweat that beaded across his eyebrows , even though the room was cold the whole time , he didn't stop sweating . " I didn't know how I survived . " Just as the two lads discussed , Azarok walked up to them , a thick look of disapproval hanging on his eyebrows . " You should both be careful while you are here ." He warned slightly . " The emperor is as ruthless as he is calm , and apart from that you have both angered everyone of the council .
