The Blacksmith You Dumped Is the Red Dragon King

Arthur has spent five years supporting Elaine's studies while working as a blacksmith, only to be discarded in public when she chooses Lord Kendrick and destroys his ring. Beneath his quiet trade, however, he is the concealed Red Dragon King, keeping his formidable abilities and true status out of sight. Their breakup leaves him facing a world where loyalty and appearances collide. At the same time, Princess Guinevere seeks refuge from a forced union with warlord Duke Fletcher and places her trust in Arthur. Their sudden marriage puts Arthur directly between Guinevere and Duke Fletcher, while Elaine's choice of Lord Kendrick keeps his former life close behind. At Holy Dragon Altar, his power becomes impossible to ignore, even as he conceals his royal identity. When Archmage Merlin falls to his knees, Arthur draws Excalibur; golden radiance and a dragon's cry mark the moment his long-held secret can no longer stay buried.
