I Became The Mother Of The Golden Dragon

My sister and I are twin spirit foxes, sent together to the dragon clan for a political marriage.

The eldest prince of the dragon clan, upon seeing me, chose me as his bride because I am a five-tailed spirit fox, while my sister was forced to marry the less favored second prince.

Later, I gave birth to a frail black dragon for the eldest prince, while my sister bore the second prince the most noble of golden dragons.

Because of this, the second prince gained the Dragon King's favor and became the heir to the dragon clan.

The eldest prince despised me for ruining his future, and when I least expected it, he shattered my spiritual essence with a single strike.

"If it weren't for your sorcery, the Dragon King's throne should have been mine. You compromised my noble lineage."

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself returned to the very day we were sent to the dragon clan for marriage.

My sister and I were twin spirit foxes.

In our previous life, to enhance the power of the next heir, the dragon clan sent envoys to the fox clan to seek marriage alliances.

As the most talented spirit foxes, my sister and I were sent to the dragon clan for this purpose.

In the grand hall of the dragon clan, the envoys brought spiritual pearls to awaken our spiritual essence and reveal our true forms.

My sister was the first to touch the pearl, and a dazzling white light burst forth, revealing her true form as a three-tailed spirit fox.

The dragon clan was amazed, as three-tailed spirit foxes had become rare since the nine-tailed foxes went into seclusion.

The dragon clan's most favored prince, Brody, upon witnessing this, intended to make my sister his chief bride.

However, when my hand touched the spirit stone, a rainbow glow enveloped the entire dragon palace, and five giant tails unfurled behind me, causing a stir among the guests.

Brody abandoned his interest in my sister and chose to marry me, while my sister was forced to marry the less favored second prince, Dominic.

Shortly after our marriage, I gave birth to Brody's frail black dragon, whereas my sister, a three-tailed spirit fox, astonishingly gave birth to Dominic's rare golden dragon.

The Dragon King was overjoyed and favored Dominic even more, officially naming him the heir to the dragon clan.

Brody was filled with hatred towards me, and while I was still recovering, he cruelly shattered my spiritual essence with a single blow.

The excruciating pain spread through my body, and I questioned Brody's ruthlessness.

Brody looked at me coldly, his voice icy: "If you hadn't bewitched me, it would have been me and Julian giving birth to the golden dragon and inheriting the throne. You compromised my noble lineage."

As I was losing consciousness, Brody lifted the black dragon baby I'd given my life to bear and violently smashed it to the ground.

In an instant, the once frail little black dragon lay lifeless on the ground.

Overwhelmed by hatred, tears of blood streamed down my face as I screamed for Brody's destruction.

Yet when I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the day of the marriage alliance.

"Father, I wish to choose Julian as my chief bride."

At that moment, the glow illuminated the entire dragon palace, and my five tails were fully displayed before everyone.

I clearly saw the hatred in Brody's eyes when he looked at me and the eagerness when he looked at my sister, and I realized he too had been reborn.

Brody believed that by choosing my sister, he could father the noble golden dragon and become the next heir to the dragon clan.

But what he didn't know was that his maternal lineage was that of the lowliest black serpent, and having a dragon child with my help was already my greatest effort for him.

Everyone was shocked to hear Brody forsake the most gifted five-tailed spirit fox in favor of the slightly lesser three-tailed spirit fox, even the old Dragon King frowned at this.

"Brody, this concerns the future of our dragon clan. Do not be reckless."

Even though the Dragon King was inclined to favor Brody, Brody stubbornly insisted, coldly replying, "Father, although Julie is a five-tailed spirit fox, it doesn't guarantee she will birth the best dragon offspring. I ask for your blessing for my marriage with Julian."

"As for Julie, I believe she is a perfect match for my second brother."

Seeing Brody's determination, the Dragon King slammed his scepter to the ground in frustration but ultimately agreed to Brody's request, leaving in annoyance without even tasting the heavenly fruit.

Julian, who had been envious of my five-tailed form, was unexpectedly chosen by Brody, and her expression turned from contorted to somewhat smug.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for not minding my three tails. As for my sister, it's a pity to waste such a rare talent."

Julian leaned toward Brody, her tone full of pride.

Brody embraced Julian, looking at me with disdain.

"So what if you have five tails? It's merely an illusion to charm others. Only those who bear noble dragon offspring are worthy of being my empress."

Brody cast a mocking glance at the frail-looking Dominic.

"Don't think that marrying a five-tailed fox spirit will win you the Dragon King's favor and make you the heir to the dragon clan.

The day she gives birth to a lowly dragon child will be your end."

With that, Brody strode away, pulling Julian along.

I looked at Prince Dominic, whose face was calm and expressionless, and tentatively asked, "Prince Dominic, even though I'm a five-tailed fox spirit, if I can't bear you a noble dragon child, the Crown Prince will become the heir, and you'll surely be driven out of the palace. If you break off the engagement with the Dragon King now, there might still be a chance to change things."

In my past life, I knew little about Dominic.

Without understanding his character, I wouldn't rush into having a dragon child with him as I did before.

I expected Dominic to respond coldly to Brody's provocation, but instead, he laughed at my words.

"I was born of humble origins. If you can't produce a noble dragon child in a month, it won't be your fault.

Besides, for an unloved prince like me to win the favor of a five-tailed fox spirit is already reaching above my station."

Dominic finished speaking, his pale lips curling slightly as he extended his slender fingers toward me, attempting to take my hand.

He had the charm of a cunning fox.

I shyly averted my gaze and placed my hand in his, feeling the warmth of his palm suddenly turn cool like jade.

Today marked the beginning of the journey for Dominic and me, as well as my sister and Brody, to conceive a dragon child.

The fox clan, unlike others, can give birth in just a month, nourished by rare herbs and abundant spiritual energy.

Just as Dominic was about to take me to Mystic Valley for training in magical arts, Brody and Julian appeared before us.

"Mystic Valley is rich in spiritual energy and has nourished countless spiritual beasts throughout history. It is Father's favorite treasure. Dominic, your mother was merely a lowly snake spirit. How dare you set foot in such a sacred place with your inferior bloodline?"

Dominic, usually indifferent to worldly matters, transformed into his true white dragon form upon hearing his mother's insult, ready to confront Brody.

Brody, unafraid, also revealed his true form, and the two clashed fiercely, neither side gaining the upper hand after hundreds of rounds.

Meanwhile, Julian gathered spiritual energy in his palm and attacked me.

"Julie, you won't take Mystic Valley today. The Crown Prince promised that if I can train in magical arts here, I'll surely give birth to a noble golden dragon and become a revered queen of the dragon palace."

"You've always outshone me with your five tails and superior talents. Now, I must compete with you."

With these words, Julian's eyes turned blood-red, and he lashed his three giant tails at me.

I wasn't foolish; I quickly concentrated the power of my five tails into a forceful strike at Julian's abdomen.

Unable to withstand it, Julian fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

At the same moment, Brody, who had been so arrogant, was struck down by Dominic's dragon tail.

Just as the outcome seemed clear, the Dragon King appeared, his scepter conjuring a white orb of light, striking Dominic from behind while he was unprepared.

Dominic fell to the ground, his once pale face now as lifeless as a paper doll.

"Father, " Brody, ignoring his injuries, crawled to the Dragon King's feet, pleading, "Father, Dominic was born of humble origins and now dares to injure me to seize Mystic Valley. Please, Father, stand up for me."

Hearing Brody's words, the Dragon King looked at Dominic with increasing disdain.

"Dominic, Brody is your elder brother. I never expected you to injure your own kin over an enchanted valley. Your rebellious nature is just like your mother, the snake spirit."
