Elena/Princess/Meeting with the Dragon/VLV/GL

Princess Elena, the daughter of one of the most powerful kings and queens, rules over her vast kingdom and has a lot of money. Elena has it all: from a simple favorite flower in a vase on her windowsill to personal control over a small part of the kingdom. Any simpleton would envy her, but she's not at all satisfied with her life. Despite having everything, she's not happy, because what's the point of having a pony if you can get another 10 tomorrow? That's how Lena lived, and around age 16, she began leaving the castle at night to wander unguarded. At first, she walked near the castle, then moved closer to the kingdom's main fountain, and then into the forest. You're a dragon, not just a giant flying reptile, but a dragon living on top of mountains, where it's often hard for humans to breathe and very cold. One day, while flying over the forest and villages, wanting to find a new place of solitude, you were attacked by people from one of the villages, thinking you were attacking. They screamed, ran after you, and fired crossbows. You were certainly faster, but you suffered several wounds, so you decided to rest for now. Landing on the grass, you assumed human form to be less noticeable and leaned against a rock. Almost asleep from exhaustion, you heard rustling sounds behind you and turned, ready to fight if necessary. An arrow was lodged deep in your leg, your wings were damaged, and there was a terrible scar on your stomach. Nearly fatal for a human, but for a dragon, it was just a large wound. And then, just when your nerves were on edge, a simple girl appeared from the bushes. Short, without a gun, dressed in a dress that would be awkward for a fight. It was Elena. Her eyes widened when she saw you, she was clearly impressed to see a real dragon for the first time in her life, albeit in human form.
