My hands trembled as I looked from the king towards Prince Dan. He was casually leaning against the throne. His eyes narrowed when he noticed my hesitation.“Do you need help taking them off?” he said mockingly before the king lifted his hand towards the guards and they quickly pulled out their weapons at his wordless command before they start to approach me.My legs almost gave up on me as I stood under the spotlight with everyone closing in on me like a scared little deer, waiting to be hurt.Still starting at the king, I did as I was told and took it off. King Roman looked unmoved unlike Dan who have a look of disbelief in his eyes as he stared openly at me. It took almost everything within me not to laugh out loud at the expression he had going on right now.It’s obvious he was expecting my eyes to bleed over like the first time and have the king strike me down as promised but too bad, only my sapphire blue was still staring back at the king. Good thing Prince already knew this wa
I couldn’t keep track of time while being held in that chair. For a while, I could feel a sense of pain that was almost numbing and at the same time draining on all level. I wonder if Prince had returned and if he knew I was in danger of getting burned to death as soon as the sun shines in through that wall.I kept comforting myself with thought of the Prince over and over again. Was he back and looking for me or did he already know where I was and was coming to rescue me.I thought about the king too. If he could see me getting burned by this shackles, all his doubts will be gone. He'd let me burn without a second thought and Prince would not be able to do anything to save me from the hands of nature.I squirmed and groan under my breath as another wave of pain surge through my ankles after I moved them slightly. I haven’t seen Logan since, prompting me to wonder where he had been.Was he hurt as well? Or looking for me as well.At this point? My mind was swimming with endless though
I yelped in pain as my back made contact with the hard floor, with air getting knocked out of my lungs just as much. Otis wasn’t down for long as he was momentarily distracted by my cry of pain.Dan saw it as an entry point and had attacked Otis with an incredible force, both their claws slicing furiously at each other throats with growl and grunt.Logan had regained consciousness at this point and had dragged himself to leaned against the wall.Otis had Dan in a choke hold against the wall before he twisted under his hold, with his hails digging into his chest, causing him to let out a loud roar.Despite my despair and pain, I struggled back on my feet and leaned against the wall. My legs still trembled in fear but most of the wound had stopped bleeding since but was still sensitive to touch.Dan had his nails digging bitterly into his chest as he continued to fight to rip out Otis heart. As if on instinct, the pain in my legs were gone. I didn’t even think, I just reached down and g
I sluggishly walked back into my room with heavy steps and a bruised heart. If I were to be told that my happiness will be out lived this way, I would never believe it. I don't need a soothsayer to tell me that it is over now because it obviously is. Even if our engagement was fake, I never believed it would end this way."What would happened to me now" I asked myself as i leaned on my front door as soon as I got to my door step. I looked around but didn't see anyone in sight. I reluctantly opened the door of my room and went inside. I quietly closed it back and slumped to the floor as the tears I was trying to hold back start to flood down my cheeks.Regret and pain coursing inside of me. Had I known, I wouldn't have taken that drastic step, but it wasn't really my fault, I only wanted to make him leave us alone, I couldn't bear to see him get hurt because of me. if I didn't intervene, he would have killed him without batting an eye which would have been worse. "Why couldn't the k
Chapter 56.I went to sleep with hope that he would come see me but he never came.The next morning, I woke up to a loud banging on the door of my new room. Wondering who might be banging on my door. I got up reluctantly with a yawn before walking towards the door. I pulled it open and saw the head maid standing outside my door with a distasteful glare on her face."Good morning," I quickly greeted with a slight bow, but the head maid didn't care to respond to my greetings, and continued staring at me with hate and disgust which made me a little nervous and I quickly looked away. Deep inside of me, I quickly realized that this was how it was going to be for the rest of my life after what happened yesterday. I sighed quietly with sadness and looked up at her."Why are you still standing there?" she asked me after the long silence."You earlier knocked on my door which indicates that you want my attention, that's why I'm still standing here," I replied, looking her straight in the face
It has been three days already and I haven't heard from the prince nor have I set my eyes on him.I was already going crazy and extremely worried about him. He means so much to me and not having a glimpse of him is making me go nuts. I sat in my room remembering all the happy memories we have had together before this tragedy occurred. My heart became more broken and I could my whole being tensing up with anger. I removed the bracelet concealing my vampirism off my wrist and felt whole again. My eyes became red and my fangs came out. I used my tongue to lick on them as I started craving for blood, but I knew it wasn't possible to have a drink.I just had to hold back my urge and go back to being a human. It was so much easier. The last thing I need is to go in search of blood and attack someone. As I continued thinking on what to do, I heard footsteps coming from a distance. I quickly slipped on my bracelet again when I noticed the person was heading towards my door.It wasn’t long
"I'm done with everything I'm supposed to do today, so can I be allowed to be among the maids to serve_""_Don't even think about it. You are not fit and qualify for that duty yet you may leave," she said coldly."Yes ma'am," I replied and walked back to my position with a sad expression. I quietly waited for other maids to be through with their chores. When everything was set, Dancia assembled all the maids in the kitchen and chose the maids to serve breakfast at the royal table. Even though she already refused me, I still waited to be chosen but to my disappointment, she chose Agnes instead of me.I bite my inner cheek as I stood staring at the floor. Agnes who had noticed the look on my face walked up to me and stood beside me."What's bothering you? is it the engagement?" she asked me, I nodded and looked down."I know it’s hard but it is not in your power to do anything. You just have to accept what is about to happen," Agnes said to me, her voice barely a whisper."I know but
I watched with hitched breath as Lady Avril continued to lock lips with the prince for another minute more than necessary. Fresh tears threaten to stink my eyes but I swallowed down the lump in my throat and sniffed it back.I couldn’t breath for the life of me. I was stunned and feeling weak around the knees not to mention how jealous I was becoming with each passing second. I was completely rooted at the spot as I stood by the corner like a ghost.I let out a breath When she finally pulled away from him before apologizing to the king for the unwarranted show of affection. To be honest, it was a complete sight for sore eyes but the king doesn’t seem to mind or he wouldn’t be smiling at the both of them at this point.She sat gracefully at the spot besides him that used to be mine.“Welcome Lady Avril. Glad you could join us for breakfast at the Royal table” The King said, his voice booming with happiness.“Thank you, your Majesty, for inviting me. I’m truly honored”Another minute pa
