The Dragon King's Substitute Bride (Morgan and Tsuneo) novel Chapter 68

Morgan 

Heated at the thought. But I knew he was just trying to distract me. His heart was pounding beneath my hand. Then, slowly, it’s harder to slow, as if his fear was starting to fade. 

“A gold dragon is meant to rule… A green dragon is meant to grow… A red dragon is meant to scheme,” 

I snickered. Is Ari a red dragon?” 

I pouted. “You mean to tell me that Kai is going to turn into a schemer? He’s so sweet, though.” 

Tsuneo chuckled. “That is not a guarantee. You won’t know what kind of dragon he is until his scale start coming in 

“So a dragon scales don’t necessarily determine the skills of their offspring?” 

“Correct.”

“Okay, I’m learning something new every day here. Where are you going with this?” 

“A blue dragon is thought to be second best to a gold dragon, as vast as the ocean. but not necessarily as benevolent. The urge to 

o rule and the patience to rule is there. There have been times in history where a blue dragon has sat on the throne Because there was not a gold dragon in the family at the 

time 

„„Reiji?” 

I flinched.” I hate the fact that I could figure that out so quickly. All right, and so? You’re a… some other color dragon, right? The opposite of gold is… purple?” 

He chuckled darkly. “No, Morgan, I’m not. Though it’s interesting that you mentioned a purple dragon.” 

“There are purple dragons?” I rolled my eyes. “Let me guess as an entire rainbow? Have I met an orange dragon?” 

“Orange dragons don’t exist in that way. Colors that can be made in mixes are a product of having mixed parentage like Maya.” 

I sat up, looking down at him gleefully. “Are you about to tell me that Maya is a princess? She’s got that bronze color to her scales! That’s like gold and… brown or something? Are there brown dragons? 

Tsuneo set up. “Maya is my cousin. Illegitimate, yes, but no less cherished. Fuses to live in the harem as a princess because she doesn’t want to complicate her life. Her mother was killed for her relationship with my uncle. My uncle was a red dragon…. her mother was something else.” 

My heart clenched. “And… your u 

uncle?” 

“He did not survive it. Tsuneo looked away. “She was very young 

ung when it happened, and it happened before I was born. As for her scale colors, it’s not as clear cut as mixing colors as you would paint.” 

So Keiji is your younger brother?” 

I am the youngest of my father’s children, actually.” 

My head spun. “That makes some sense. She definitely gives 

es off older sister vibes. I’m definitely going to have to get her to stop calling me my lady. 

Shes my cousin at this point.” I frowned. “Cousin–in–law.” 

“You are taking this quite well. 

Well, you haven’t given me any reason to freak out.” 

I suppose that information is still to come.” He took a deep breath. “I understand that you think that much of our culture has not spilled into yours. 

CHOB 

But I know that to not exactly be true, so when I tell you that I simply did not want you to think of me any differently, I meant that.” 

I frowned. My stomach turned into knots as something told me that what he was about to tell me was going to be much worse than I had ever 

anticipated. 

“All right, you’re freshly scaring me. Just tell me what it is.”
