The Golden Dragon Heiress Returns

Eira is the golden dragon heiress of the Draken clan. Vana, the adopted daughter their parents favor, wants Eira's S-rank core. Vana frames her. Eira is locked in the dragon taming academy for ten years of torture, and her core is carved out. When her brothers Kael and Gavin come to bring her home, she refuses. That place is not her home. She returns only to cut ties face to face.

At the clan home, the family prepares a banquet for Vana, who has awakened the golden flame. Eira learns the high-level dragon crystals meant for her training were diverted to Vana for ten years. The butler's count confirms Eira used none of them. Her mother calls it protection. Her brothers call Eira jealous. Vana appears and acts fragile. The family believes Vana.

Eira brings up the basement, the dry bread, and the black cat that killed her spirit dove. No one listens. The family brings out the mirror of divinity to expose her. The mirror goes dark, and they blame her for that too. They claim they already forgave her for taking Vana's core ten years ago.

The old accusation is what sent Eira away. Vana accused Eira of trying to kill her and steal her core. The family still sides with Vana.

Eira ends it. "None of you are my family anymore. I'm leaving." Her mother offers more dragon crystals. Eira still leaves. She collapses. The high priest finds her body dangerously weak, with less than a tenth of her spiritual power left. Even the weakest black dragon can use magic. Eira cannot.

Eira wakes. Vana claims the spell hurt her too and her spiritual power is unstable. The family blames Eira for ruining Vana's succession ceremony and getting her hurt. Gavin demands the dragon core if Eira wants to leave, saying she is dead to the family. Eira has nothing to hand over. Gavin learns she cannot cast spells. The mirror of divinity starts working again, ready to show what happened.
