"I understand where you're coming from, Queen Evielyn." The lord looked like he did not agree with what Evie had said. However, the man had so much respect in his eyes now compared to the way he had looked at Evie back then when they first entered into the tent. "But the dragon's rejection is too strong. It's true forcing anything is not always the best idea, but I honestly don't think that it is possible for us, non-dragon keepers, to get the dragons to obey us without using any force. That is only possible for you because you're a dragon keeper yourself. These dragons will never obey us willingly."
A small smile curved on Evie's lips.
"Never say never, Lord Cadmus. If one can't make a dragon obey him without using force, that only means one thing…" Evie touched the dragon and caressed it before she lifted her gaze back to look meaningfully at the Lord. "It only means that the person is never meant to be a dragon rider in the first place."
