Arranged Marriage: Dangerous Heiress

        Andromeda heard the ringing on her ear, and she stopped walking and turned around to the other mountain where it was located. She shook her head. Maybe she heard it wrong. Was it calling her?

"Andy," Andel called.

​​

"Yeah," She waved at him.

"What is it?" Fin asked and then he also looked at the other mountain.

"I—I just felt like I need to go there." She said and her heartfelt like burning as she stepped another away from it.

"I can feel that too," Fin told. "But we need to get back to our camp and plan for our next step."

        Andromeda nodded. In just a few kilometers is their camp. Andel squeal excitedly and he climbed up and then said that everything is a mess. It\'s more than a year or two that they last visit here. Andy looked at another tree that is growing. It\'s still little but it\'s going to be bigger than the others.

        Fin and Andel went on fishing for tonight and Moira lifted a drink for them. It will be their last night to enjoy the scenery because later—they need to face them and fight them to keep them away from the entrance.

        But she needed to get that scroll first. They were already grilling the fish with spices that they bought from the town. Freya is rubbing her hand as Fin distributes the big fishes. Each of them has separate fishes and then with an additional of barbequed vegetables.

        They eat and drink while Andel is busy with flying his drone to check the surroundings.

        Soon, Andel, Moira, and Freya get drunk and they are snoring on the corner. Andy keeps them away from bugs.

"They will be in chaos." She said.

"That is because you will die, I will die—" He scoffed. "This is completely chaotic. It\'s so ironic that we were all best friends. Having fun like a real family, eating, drinking, and celebrating. Then soon, we will start killing each other."

"What can we do?" Andy grinned. "We need to leave this world earlier than we thought."

"No one is dying!" Andel said as he sat up. He goes back to his sleep and they laughed.

"They will keep killing each other," Andy muttered.

        It was hidden, Viktor entered the room and found three old men laughing. He tilted his head and looked at the two legendary men. One is General Mondragon and the other is General Pattinson.

"Father?"

        His father looked up at him. He seemed to enjoy it.

"Oy! Viktor! Glad that you are here. Your brother is already in Madagascar hunting whatever Dragon treasure it was."

"It\'s the Dragon Lair." General Mondragon told. "It\'s where our old tribe lives. It\'s sacred and the dragon is in there."

"You mean, real dragon?" Viktor asked as he sat down on the vacant chair. They are playing pokers and what are they betting?

"Yes." General Mondragon said. "Bring the little man something to eat,"

"I\'m not little." Viktor groaned.

"You are still little to me. You are still in college, right?"

"Yes." He answered and he took a glass of milkshake that was served to him. "Seriously?"

"Yes—you need to work hard to get the empire back and probably kick your brother\'s ass." Old Kuznetsov said.

        A knock on the door makes them stop and a boy at the age of fourteen or so entered as he frowned on his tablet.

"Grandpa, did you just buy a blue pill?"

"What?" Grandpa Pattinson asked. "No, I didn\'t!" He said. "Go back to your room or I\'ll send you back to your parents."

"But—it\'s bad for your health. Sarah told me to monitor you and your damn pills!"

"This is Owen, my grandson from my second son." He introduced briefly.

"Oh—" Owen glanced at him. "You are twenty years old or so?"

"Twenty-five." He said.

"Oh, and you are still in college?" Owen asked.

"I take lots of degrees." He added.

"You are focusing more on women than your studies. Don\'t freak me out with your degrees." Old Kuznetsov said and smacked the back of his head. "From now on, you are studying with the Mondragon and Pattinson to train yourself." 

 "To train from what?"

"When you took over our Empire you need to learn some safety measures and some strategy."

"My granddaughters are good at that," Manuel said and grinned.

"Yes, and they lack patient from it," Owen added. "Grandpa, what are these blue pills for?" He asked again. 

"It was for us men who wanted to increase our sexual drive. It\'s good for fucking." Manuel suddenly stopped and glared at his grandson. "You little brat! You are using that reverse psychology that your sister taught you."

"I am and it works well. You are so busted to Sarah. I\'m calling her." Owen opened the door to exit.

"Owen! Brat! What do you want?" Manuel exhaled and they all looked at Owen as he turned around with a smirked. Manuel closed his eyes and sighed.

"I\'ll think about what I want." He waved at them.

"When can I meet the rest of the family?" Viktor asked.

"Unfortunately—you can\'t." Old Kuznetsov said. "You have to prove your loyalty to them first."

"Okay. How?"

        Alex smirked and he peeked on his cards.

"Let\'s play first."

        Freya started with push-ups and jumping jacks so she would sweat. And then she followed Moira and Andromeda on the river to take a bath. The boys already bath a while ago and packing a few things. The girls are completely naked, and she doesn\'t want to get naked with them. They had great shapes as she had.

"I think your breasts are bigger than mine," Moira said and covered her breasts. Freya laughed.

"You need to get pregnant and have a twin."

"Damn, Al-babe would love that. But I still have duties." Moira said. "It\'s so cold, I\'ll get ready."

        Soon, they dried their bodies and put on the suit that Zachary gave to each other.

        Moira dry her hair and combed it. Then she moved her body stretching as she smiled at the very comfortable suit.

        Andy gasped when she suddenly heard bombing nearby. Andel controls his drone up and up to locate it.

"It\'s from their camp. I think they guessed on where it was located." Andel shrugged his shoulder.

"It\'s near to the Dragon\'s Lair," Andromeda said. "Let\'s get ready in five minutes. Fin, you know where the shortcut?"

        Fin nodded. They get ready and only took their weapons and a few gadgets that Zachary built for them. They have a watch and glasses. Freya tightens her hair and she creased her brows.

"No matter what happened to us, we\'ll still be a team." Andy looked at Moira. "If I didn\'t make it, you\'ll take over our Empire."

"Don\'t say that." Moira frowned at her.

        Andy diverts her eyes to Fin.

"Ready, Fin?"

        Fin peek at the photo of his daughter and wife on the compass and kissed it.

"Yes."

        Andy exhaled.

"This is the last camp that should remain alive. We need to destroy their camps first."

        Yves took out the map that he stole from the treasure that is also searching for the Dragon\'s Lair. He was about to steal a treasure for the Dragon Empire, and they said that there\'s a scroll, secrets on ways to take over the Empires that the Dragon Empire had.

        He doesn\'t know why the Eagle Empire is so obsessed with the scroll. It said to be mythical but—what can he say? There are always strange things happening in the world and this one might be worthy of their work.

        He looked at the other mountain. The mountain that said to be mysterious. People could never go back whenever they entered that mountain area. He\'s also curious about why they couldn\'t make it. He has been searching for it for years and he never noticed it. It was quiet and mysterious and at the same time.

"Packed up now," He orders, and they hike to the mountain, and what he didn\'t expect is a hallowed part. It looks like a cliff and there\'s a waterfall on it. It\'s so breathtaking. There are wild animals nearby. They backed up and a Lion nearby roars and the herds left.

        It was too odd. Yves knew that something isn\'t right at that moment.

"I think, they are guarding something." His commander said.

"Guarding what? The Dragon\'s Lair?" Yves asked and he laughed out loud.

"This isn\'t normal." Another man said and pointed his gun to the leopard that is snarling at them.

"Kill it," Yves said.

        The snarling Leopard roar and he turned back from them.

"What was that?" Yves shouted.

"It\'s a Leopard." The Commander said.

"I know, you dumb ass. What I mean is why is there a Leopard and Lion in Madagascar? Those animals didn\'t exist here except for fossils!"

        Everyone looked at each other.

"Leopard doesn\'t usually do that." Another one said.

        The last thing they know is the sound of monkeys. Squirrel Monkeys and Howling Monkeys. Since there are lots of trees around them, they didn\'t notice that their ammo and guns had been stolen from them. One started firing but those Monkeys are too fast.

"Stop it!" Yves shouted. "You are threatening more of them."
