You catch the queen and her entourage before they leave to make one final request:

“If it’s all right with her majesty, may I ask if this castle by chance has a library?”

She looks at you with shifty eyes.

“Of course. Why?”

“Then I would like, with her majesty’s good graces, to request my first servant immediately: a page.”

She stiffens up, obviously uncomfortable living a dragon in the care of a small child. You can tell she’s thinking this over intensely, perhaps unsure what denying could do to relations. In the end, she heaves a heavy sigh:

“Very well. Wait here, I’ll send them up once they’re chosen.”

So once again you wait. Hours pass before, once again seemingly immediately, a boy around the age of 8 shuffles out and slowly approaches you.

“U-uum-mmm...I-I’m Cedric, L-Lord Cinder.” He’s shaking in his boots.

He’s a thin boy, but not unhealthy, and well groomed enough to be presentable by noble standards.

“Run down to the library and fetch me the finest books on sorcery available Cedric.”

He swiftly nods his head, to the point you wonder if his brain is alright, and sprints back to the castle in a panic. You actually feel bad for the boy, he didn’t want to be servant to a dragon. Makes you wonder what made him the first choice.

Again in what seems like the blink of an eye, Cedric returns with a stack of 5 books. He trembles, seemingly afraid of what you have to say.

“M-my apologies, M’Lord. The-they would only let me bring you these. I asked if they were the best, but they told me they refused to bring you those until you’ve been given the title for at least 4 months!”

You need to reassure the boy. While you are annoyed at this revelation, getting angry over it would do nothing but destroy your relations with the kingdom.

“Very well. I understand. You have no need to fear me.”

Cedric looks up, seemingly calmed, if not comfortable around you.

‘’’What do you do?
