Regret

On the night of my birthday, Adrian didn't come home until three in the morning. That human girl had run away from the estate again and nearly died at the hands of lesser vampires. When Adrian got the call, his voice was ice cold. "If she wants to get herself killed, let her. No one is to stop her." But after he hung up, he still went after her. Ever since Vicky's parents took a vampire hunter's silver bullet for Adrian, he could never let her go. By the time they returned, the guests had already gone home disappointed, and the frosting on my birthday cake had long since collapsed. Vicky buried herself in Adrian's arms, trembling as she sobbed. "I'm sorry, I just dreamed about my parents last night..." I had heard this excuse countless times. Every time something happened to her, Adrian would leave me behind. From my coming-of-age ceremony to every single birthday. I looked at Adrian. He didn't push her away. Instead, he said quietly to me, "Elena, she's not in a good state right now. Maybe... we should wait until next year to discuss the engagement." This wasn't the first time he had postponed our engagement ceremony. The entire vampire world had long since turned me into a laughingstock. This time, I just smiled, nodded, and agreed. After all, in one month, I would be marrying someone else.

Elena's POVOn the night of my birthday, Adrian didn't come home until three in the morning.Only a handful of vampire nobles remained in the banquet hall.They held their wine glasses, their gazes drifting toward me now and then.The birthday cake on the table had been sitting out too long. The elegant fondant decorations had gradually softened, petals tipping over into the frosting, and even the letters spelling my name had half-collapsed.Everyone was waiting to see how this spectacle would end.Adrian had abandoned me time after time, and my reputation was already in ruins.Those nobles said I couldn't even compare to a human woman.That I couldn't even hold on to my own childhood sweetheart's heart.It hadn't always been this way.I was born into an ancient vampire clan and had grown up alongside Adrian, the heir to the vampire Prince. Our two families had arranged the engagement long ago.Celebrating our birthdays together had been our tradition for years.No matter what came up,

Elena's POVThe next day, I went to the Elder Council as usual to sit in on their daily session.News of what had happened at last night's birthday banquet had already spread throughout vampire society.The moment I stepped into the council hall, I felt the piercing stares from every direction.Some offered sympathy. Some sighed with regret. Others made no effort to hide the fact that they were waiting for more entertainment."I heard Prince Adrian left again last night for that human girl.""How many more times is their engagement going to be postponed?""The Valerie girl really can endure.""Her Fiancé walks out on her in front of everyone, and she actually pretends nothing happened."The whispers were kept low, but every word reached my ears clearly enough.In the past, moments like these would have made me feel ashamed. I would instinctively make excuses for Adrian.Vicky's parents had died protecting him from silver bullets.It was only right that he couldn't let go of that guilt.

Elena's POVSeeing that I had gone quiet, Adrian took a box from the attendant."Yesterday's was a birthday gift."This one is an apology I prepared especially for you."He lowered his head as he spoke, his expression gentle, his brow lightly furrowed, looking troubled.As if my not forgiving him would cause him unbearable guilt."I broke my promise last night."Please don't be angry anymore, all right?"In the past, every time I saw that look on his face, my heart would ache for him.I would think that being caught between duty and love must have been exhausting enough for him already.Then I would take the initiative to comfort him, tell him I wasn't angry, step back once more, and swallow all my grievances.But this time, I only watched as he opened the box.Inside lay an antique brooch.I recognized the piece.It was originally part of a matched pair that had attracted fierce bidding among the nobles at an auction a week ago.I picked up the brooch and turned it over. A clear repai

Elena's POVWhen I pushed open the parlor door, Cassian was already seated inside.The tea on the table was still steaming, and several guest lists for the engagement ceremony were neatly arranged beside my father and the Prince.Cassian heard the footsteps and rose to his feet.His gaze settled on my face for a moment before he pulled out the chair beside him."Have a seat."I nodded and sat down next to my father.We had known each other since childhood, but he had always been Adrian's older brother.Whenever Adrian was around, Cassian rarely initiated conversation with me.On the rare occasions we crossed paths at family events, he would simply raise his glass to me from a distance, never once crossing the boundary between an older brother and his younger brother's future bride.Now that I was about to become his fiancée, the quiet parlor held an unspoken awkwardness.My father didn't waste time and pushed the engagement guest list directly in front of us."The Blackwood family has

Elena's POVAdrian gripped my wrist, his voice trembling, barely containing his fury."You're really going to marry my brother?"I looked at him."Yes."His gaze lingered on my face for several seconds, as if waiting for me to take it back.When I said nothing more, he let out a short, harsh laugh."Just because of last night?"Vicky isn't a vampire. It's dangerous out there. I couldn't just leave her alone."I promised her parents I would look after her. I explained this to you a long time ago."By the end, his voice even carried a hint of exasperation.As though I were the one being unreasonable.I tugged hard against his grip.He didn't let go."Adrian, let go.""Tell me first. Whose idea was this?"His eyes moved past me toward Cassian."Did your father pressure you? Or did my brother talk you into it?"I answered calmly. "It was my own decision."Adrian's brow furrowed."You don't have to go this far just to get back at me."Marriage isn't a game."What if you agree now and regret

Elena's POVThe engagement ceremony was held in the grand hall of the Blackwood estate.I had always believed that the person standing beside me in the end would be Adrian.Our families had been close for generations, and he and I had grown up together.Everyone assumed I would become his wife, and even I had never questioned it.Now, his older brother Cassian stood at my side.The Prince and his wife, along with the Elder Council, bore witness to the engagement. My father and mother were seated among the guests.As guests raised their glasses to us one after another, their eyes inevitably lingered on me a moment too long.I knew what they were looking for.They wanted to see whether the woman who had trailed after Adrian for years, only to be abandoned time and again, was truly willing to marry someone else.I had once been the most promising heir of the Valerie clan.From a young age, I had shown exceptional talent for painting. My work had earned considerable praise, and several gal

Adrian's POVAfter Elena helped Cassian out, I stood there for a long time.Attendants were clearing the shattered glass in the hall. Members of the Elder Council surrounded the captured hunters for questioning.Vicky came over and leaned against me, her fingers tightly gripping my sleeve.There wasn't a single wound on her.I looked down at her pale face. Out of habit, I should have comforted her first.But the image that kept surfacing was Elena's back as she walked away, supporting Cassian.Her hands were stained with blood, yet her steps hadn't faltered for even a second.She hadn't so much as turned back to look at me."Adrian."Vicky called my name softly.I didn't respond.She was silent for a moment, then pressed closer."I was so scared just now."I thought those hunters were going to kill me."I finally looked down at her."They were aiming at Elena."Vicky's expression stiffened for a moment before her eyes quickly welled with tears again."I saw them holding guns and I just

Adrian's POVAfter I got back, I had an attendant prepare a gift.It was the approach I knew best.Every time Elena was upset, I would pick something she liked and send it over. She would refuse at first. I would say a few more sweet words, or go see her in person.She always forgave me.The attendant quickly asked, "Your Highness, what shall we prepare this time?"I opened my mouth but couldn't come up with an answer."Flowers?"The attendant offered tentatively.I instinctively recalled Vicky mentioning that the white roses were blooming beautifully this season."What kind of flowers does Elena like right now?"The attendant was taken aback."I'm not sure, Your Highness."I wasn't sure either.The flowers I had sent Elena in the past were mostly the same ones Vicky received.The attendant in charge of buying them would prepare two identical arrangements. I had found it convenient, and it meant no one would feel overlooked.Looking back now, Elena had never truly been happy when she r

Elena's POVCassian's wound was more severe than the doctor had initially assessed.The silver bullet had grazed his upper arm. It hadn't hit anything vital, but it left a deep burn.After treating the wound, the doctor ordered at least two weeks of rest.I kept watch outside the treatment room. My palms still felt damp with his blood, and for a long time I couldn't gather my thoughts.My mother sat beside me, gently taking my hand."Don't worry. He'll be fine."I nodded.But every time I closed my eyes, I saw the moment of the second shot.The hunters hadn't been captured yet. If one had gotten closer, Cassian could have been killed.Yet he hadn't hesitated for a second. He pulled me behind him.The treatment room door finally opened.The doctor told us Cassian was awake.The Prince and Princess went in to see him first. Then the attendants were sent to bring me in.Cassian was propped up against the headboard. His injured arm was wrapped in thick bandages, and he looked paler than us

Elena's POVWord that I had started painting again spread quickly.At first, only a few gallery owners I had known before wrote to inquire. Then more and more people became willing to see me.Their attitudes were still cautious.Some worried that years without producing work had cost me whatever skill I once had.Others asked bluntly whether this exhibition was funded by the Blackwood family.I didn't offer many explanations. I simply showed them my finished paintings.In the end, a gallery that had collaborated with me several times before agreed to host a small exhibition.The scale was modest.For where I was now, it was more than enough.During the weeks leading up to the exhibition, I spent nearly every day in the studio.Cassian's injury hadn't fully healed, yet he regularly had attendants deliver paints and canvases I needed.On the rare occasions I visited him, he would only ask whether I had been sleeping well.He mentioned the exhibition even less than I did, waiting for me t
