Thank you all for your good words and encouraging feedback on this chapter

Its greatly appreciated!!
is it wrong of me I like the duke
Such an adorable villain!
No wrong whatsoever!! the villain is the one who makes a good story!!!
nice to see a spark of hope after all the bad things that happened to the kingdom earlier. 
The Duke has not said his final word... nor have the Dragonians

So what is coming, might be even worse...
