23 She is from royal family

The plates on the ceiling moved away revealing the red dragon.

It looked fierce. Its eyes were directly looking at her.

Chuntao gasped seeing it, she had heard the tales of dragon but never in her wildest dream had she thought she will get to see the one.

The priest who was standing silent all along walked towards chuntao and said," Stand on that red spot in the middle. The dragon will release the fire soon."

"Hurry up! The stars' shower is starting soon." The priest said looking annoyed.

Chuntao stood in the black spot surrounded by the red lines.

The red lines on the ground burned and formed red strings around her legs that bind her tightly to the ground.

Woah… the shower of the stars looked beautiful.

But; wait, the priest said, the dragon will release fire.

Finally gaining her lost senses from the mesmerizing view, she looked towards the priest in fright.

The priest noticing the fear in her eyes said," Don't worry. The dragon is only spiritual. It won't do any harm."

The eyes of the dragon turned red and it released huge fire on her.

Her body felt hot.

It was so hot that she moaned in pain. Suddenly from where the golden butterfly came and circle around her.

The feeling of hotness disappeared.

She felt light like she was flying. The fire stopped and the plates closed.

Chuntao looked around her.

There was surprised face on the priest.

"Your majesty!" cried and the priest kneeled down with red eyes. Small layer of water formed in the brim of the eyes.

"What are you doing? Stand up."

The priest insisted on sitting on the ground in that position and said," Forgive me. I wasn't able to recognize you earlier."

"What are you talking about? First of all please stand up. We can talk slowly."

The priest stood up and continued with wiping his eyes," this servant is very happy to see you. We never have thought… you were still alive."

The priest started crying.

His cry was loud.

If there wasn't smile on his lips and time to time rubbing the tears with the hem of his cloak, one will misunderstand his cry for the grief.

But it was clear that his tear were of joy.

Chuntao looked dazed.

Bin and Sister Xi walked in front of her.

"You are really the fire witch as Xiao Lu said. I never thought you were the member of witch royal family." Sister Xi said and pulled Bin to kneel down with her.

Guessing what they were going to do. Chuntao stepped out of the circle and said," Don't do this. It is making me awkward."

Just as she was speaking, her vision blackened.

With the thud sound, she fell on the ground.

The red dress covering her vanished. The black hair floating in air turned to ash color.

"Your Majesty!" the priest was first to recover.
