Sleeping dragons should never be disturbed, or at least so common wisdom held. Not that that stopped the Winter Dragon (he really preferred 'Bucky', so much less to say, and titles really weren't his thing) from being woken by the princess rudely shoving open the castle door.
He knew immediately she was a princess. Her whole presence screamed it, from the bottom of her delicate lace dress (which was tied in a knot above her scabbed knees), to the tips of her extravagant tiara (which was hooked around the door latch, attached to some wires, and smoking, which also explained the failure of his wards). But mostly because she yelled out.
"Oh my god, fuck Howard! Dad can keep the kingdom! It's not worth all this!"
Bucky huffed out a snoutful of cold mist. "Well, shit, there goes the castle."
