The Silent Sacrifice Princess And The Black Dragons Marriage Manhua

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the courtyard of the mansion, Ayame's heart raced with a mixture of anticipation and dread. The time had come for her to make the ultimate sacrifice, one that could change the course of her destiny forever. Saku, the enigmatic Black Dragon, stood before her, his eyes searching her face for any sign of hesitation. The weight of their impending decision hung heavy in the air, the fate of both realms resting on the edge of a knife. With a trembling voice, Ayame spoke, her words echoing in the silent chamber. "I vow to protect this alliance, to honor our bond even in the face of chaos and betrayal. I offer myself as a sacrifice, willingly and without reservation." The Black Dragon's gaze softened, a flicker of emotion crossing his stoic features. In that moment, Ayame saw a vulnerability she had never witnessed before, a crack in the armor of his heart. And as he reached out to grasp her hand, a warm rush of hope flooded her veins. But just as their fingers touched, a shadow moved in the corner of the room. Mari, Ayame's vindictive cousin, stepped into the light, her eyes glinting with malice. "You think you can defy your destiny?" she sneered, a cruel smile twisting her lips. "I will not let you have your happiness, not while I still draw breath." With a sudden realization, Ayame understood the depth of the danger that lurked within their midst. The true test of her sacrifice had only just begun, and the path ahead was fraught with treachery and deception. Would she have the strength to withstand the storm that threatened to tear apart not only her love for the Black Dragon but the delicate balance between worlds?
