Chapter 9

Penulis: Serein M
Kaelen and I were sipping warm blood-wine in the council hall at Nightshade Manor.

The air was thick with suffocating tension. Aldous stood to the side, frozen like a statue.

Every second was agonizing. Finally, footsteps broke the dead silence.

Two Night Guards walked in. They dragged Julian and Victoria out.

They had been tortured by the UV lights so badly they were charred and barely looked human.

The moment Aldous saw his son, a brief flash of heartbreak crossed his face.

  • My Fiancé’s Childhood Sweetheart Just Stole My Wedding Cloak   Chapter 10

    Only Julian and Victoria's pathetic, grating sobs echoed in the hall. After a long while, I finally put my glass down. The sharp clink of crystal against wood cut through the air. They instantly went quiet. They stared at me with terrified eyes. But beneath the fear, there was desperate hope. I gave a faint smile, but my voice held no warmth. "If my father hadn't shown up in time that day, would either of you have let me go?" The question hit them like a slap to the face. They froze. The color drained from their faces. Their mouths hung open, but no words came out. "Victoria," I turned my eyes to the woman who once treated me like dirt under her shoe. "Wasn't it your dream to be a Lord's wife?" She nodded uncontrollably. A delusional spark of hope still flickered in her eyes. "And you, Julian." I shifted my focus to him. My tone was mocking. "You defied your fiancé for her. You let her attack me, just to spoil her. You must really love her, right?" "I don't! I was just..." h

    Kaelen and I were sipping warm blood-wine in the council hall at Nightshade Manor. The air was thick with suffocating tension. Aldous stood to the side, frozen like a statue. Every second was agonizing. Finally, footsteps broke the dead silence. Two Night Guards walked in. They dragged Julian and Victoria out. They had been tortured by the UV lights so badly they were charred and barely looked human. The moment Aldous saw his son, a brief flash of heartbreak crossed his face. But it was quickly replaced by cold fury and terror. He didn't rush forward to help him. Instead, he marched over, grabbed Julian by the back of the neck, and forced his head down toward me. "You bastard," he gritted his teeth. "Apologize!" Then, loud slaps echoed through the hall as he hit Julian across the face, over and over again. This wasn't a father disciplining his son. It was a brutal execution of punishment. "Speak! Apologize to Lady Elara right now!" he roared. Julian was completely broken.

    After the two Clan leaders left, the hall was quiet again. I was about to pick up my book when another guard walked in. He looked a bit uneasy. "Lady Elara, the manager from the salon is outside. He says he's here to confess his sins. He's begging to see you..." I blinked, remembering that snobby manager. Kaelen looked at me and gave a mocking sneer. "Let him in. I'd love to hear what he has to 'confess'." A moment later, the manager stumbled in. He practically crawled across the floor. The second he reached me, he dropped to his knees and started bawling. "Forgive me, Lady Elara! I was blind! I didn't recognize who you were! Please, have mercy—spare my pathetic life!" He fumbled in his coat and pulled out a heavy bag. He held it up high with both hands. "This is everything I've saved over the years. I'll give it all to you. Please forgive me!" Seeing him groveling and practically kissing my boots, it was hard to believe this was the same arrogant manager from the salon. Ka

    A week later, I finished healing at the Blood Spring and went back to Nightshade Manor. By then, almost every vampire in the country had heard the story of a certain Lord who made an unthinkable mistake. He offended the beloved daughter of the Senate's Supreme Lord, the highest ruler of the dark world. For days, everyone was holding their breath, watching the situation, terrified of making a wrong move. Kaelen and I were working out of the council hall at the manor for now. Honestly, this place had become the temporary center of power for the whole nation. That afternoon, I was sitting by the window reading an ancient magic tome. A Night Guard appeared in a puff of black mist and bowed. "Supreme Lord, Lady Elara. The leaders of the Obsidian and Onyx Clans request an audience." I glanced at Kaelen, who was sitting at the head of the hall. He had his eyes closed, looking completely relaxed. He didn't even open his eyes. He drawled lazily, "Let them in." Soon, two powerful figu

    Seeing the murder in Kaelen's eyes deepen by the second, my heart clenched. I was really scared he'd kill Julian right here. I quickly stepped forward and grabbed his arm. "Kaelen..." He seemed to hear the worry in my voice. He took a deep breath and forced his fury down. The sharp killing intent slowly faded. He turned and patted my hand to comfort me. Then he shot an icy glare at the two people on the floor. He flicked his wrist. The Night Guards stepped up and dragged Julian and Victoria out like thrashing ragdolls. "Throw them in the UV Cell," Kaelen gave an absolute order. Hearing that name, Julian started thrashing wildly. The UV Cell was where the Senate punished the worst criminals. It was a cage made entirely of artificial UV lights. It burned a prisoner's skin and soul endlessly. Even the strongest vampires would go insane. Legend had it that no vampire ever lasted three days in there without losing their mind. "No... No!" Julian screamed. For the first time, tru

    I'm no saint. After what Victoria did to me today, I was definitely not letting her walk away unscathed. My father looked at me. "Do it, Elara. Show them nobody messes with our family." My eyes were locked on Victoria. I picked up the dagger she used to stab me and walked toward her slowly. She was shaking all over. She stuttered, "If you touch me, the Lord will never let you go..." I didn't want to hear her garbage. I grabbed her by the hair. While she screamed in terror, I carved a permanent, jagged cross right into her face. She shrieked. "My face!" I leaned in and whispered in her ear. "Didn't you want to ruin my face? Make sure no man ever looked at me again?" Victoria's eyes widened. All the color drained from her face. She tried to crawl backward in terror. I grabbed the box with the cloak. I opened it slowly right in front of her. The golden sunlight cloak sparkled under the lights. It was a brutal contrast to her messy, pathetic state. Then, I stayed perfectly ca
