Chapter:

Then I left the palace with quiet steps.

The head butler was waiting for me outside the gates, and the moment he saw me, he hurried to open the car door respectfully.

"Please, miss."

I took a seat in the back and cast one last glance at the palace. Its windows were illuminated against the darkness of the night, making it look like a beautiful painting surrounded by silence.

The car slowly pulled away, while I continued looking at the palace until it disappeared behind the trees.

  • Iris at the vampire academy   The Date of the Party

    Chapter: The moment we entered the academy building, I felt that something unusual was happening. The main hallway was far more crowded with students than usual, and no one was heading toward the classrooms or having ordinary conversations. Instead, everyone had gathered in front of the large bulletin board mounted in the center.Voices echoed everywhere. Some students were laughing, others were discussing something excitedly, while others were trying to push their way through the crowd to read the announcement.I looked around in confusion, then turned to Maya and Julia, who were both staring at the crowd with obvious curiosity.I frowned and asked,"What's going on? Why is everyone gathered over there?"Neither of them answered me, because Maya had already pushed her way through the students, trying to reach the bulletin board. She stretched her head forward with difficulty, then asked one of the girls standing in the front,"Excuse me... what happened?"The student turned toward u

  • Iris at the vampire academy   A New Week

    Chapter: After things had finally calmed down at the mansion, I returned to my room, knowing that my time to rest was over and that I had to return to my usual life at the university and the academy.Evening had settled over the place, and the light from the outdoor lamps filtered through the tall windows, bathing the spacious hallways in a soft yellow glow. I opened my wardrobe and quietly gathered my belongings, folding my clothes and placing my books back into my bag. Then I made sure I had my phone, my ID card, and everything else I would need for the week.I wasn't in a hurry, but I felt that the end of this vacation had come much faster than I had expected.As soon as I stepped out of my room carrying my bag, I heard small footsteps following behind me. I turned slightly and found Matthew walking after me with his head lowered, completely unlike his usual self. He wasn't running around trying to scare me, nor was he holding a string or a toy to pull one of his silly pranks on m

  • Iris at the vampire academy   Matthew's Illness

    Chapter: I lay in the back seat of the car the entire way, trying to catch my breath after everything that had happened. But the moment the car stopped in front of the mansion, I felt a sense of calm slowly settle in my chest. The head butler raised his head and looked silently at the familiar façade of the house. Then he turned to me with a faint smile and said, "Ah... I'm glad that Miss is alright now." I realized then that the hypnotic effect of the power I had used through Carla had worn off, and he had returned to acting normally without remembering what had happened on the way. I slowly opened the car door, and before getting out, I turned to him and said with a tired smile, "Thank you for bringing me home." He lowered his head respectfully and replied calmly, "You're welcome, Miss." I closed the car door behind me and entered the mansion with slow steps. The place was unusually quiet. There were no sounds of laughter or sudden pranks. I even found myself gla

Its windows were illuminated against the darkness of the night, making it look like a beautiful painting surrounded by silence.The car slowly pulled away, while I continued looking at the palace until it disappeared behind the trees.I let out a quiet sigh and began replaying everything that had happened since my arrival in my mind. Eden and Arthur's welcome, the Queen's warmth, Luna's teasing, Ryan's calm demeanor, and the family portrait that had awakened a strange feeling within me.But suddenly...A voice echoed inside my head."Brother..."My eyes widened.Then the voice came again, clearer this time."Brother... Brotherrr..."I quickly placed my hand on my head and squeezed my eyes shut, as though trying to stop that voice.

  • Iris at the vampire academy   Dinner

    Chapter: We all joined the large dining table after the King invited us to sit down.The royal hall was filled with a majestic silence. Crystal chandeliers hung from the high ceiling, scattering a warm light over the long table, while the glow of the candles reflected off the silver plates and polished glasses.The servants moved quietly and gracefully throughout the hall, filling the glasses and arranging the dishes without making the slightest sound, as though they had been working in this place for many long years. King William sat at the head of the table with his imposing presence, while Queen Milan sat to his left beside him with her gentle smile. Eden chose a seat opposite the Queen, while I was given the honor of sitting beside her. Arthur sat directly across from me, and I still felt somewhat nervous despite the warm welcome I had received since entering the palace.I tried to compose myself and behave calmly, but inside, my mind was overflowing with questions.I had never b

  • Iris at the vampire academy   Introducing the Royal Family

    Chapter: I raised my gaze toward the painting, staring at it intently. For some reason I couldn't understand, the faces looked strangely familiar, as if I had seen them in an old dream or a distant memory that had slipped away from my mind.Arthur stepped closer to the painting and began pointing at each person one by one."In the center sits our eldest sister, the Crown Princess... Princess Navarin."My eyes fixed on the young woman sitting in the middle of the luxurious sofa. She was smiling with a bright, confident smile, her wavy orange hair cascading elegantly over her shoulders, while her blue eyes radiated both vitality and serenity at the same time.She was wearing a magnificent royal dress befitting her status, and her presence in the portrait naturally dominated the scene.Then Eden pointed at the man and woman seated on either side of her."These are our parents... King William and Queen Mother Milan."Both of them sat with dignity and grace, their features reflecting wisd

    Chapter Six: I tried to apologize to that young man; I was extremely nervous as I said: “I… I’m really sorry.”He looked at me with stern eyes, then said in a sharp voice as he sighed: “This happens a lot.”Then he turned and left as if it meant nothing to him. I felt even more confused, so I hur

  • Iris at the vampire academy   Carla’s Letter

    Chapter Three: The boy was standing directly in front of me. His abdominal muscles were clearly defined and tense, a towel carelessly wrapped around his waist, and his wet hair dripped over his shoulders and chest. For a moment I froze in place, my mind completely shut down. I looked at him longer
