My Vampire Fiancé Laughed at Me, so I Married Another Man Right in Front of Him Chapter 11
Evelyn's POVNot long after the assassination attempt, the Blackwood family sent formal papers dissolving the engagement.Even though I had already married Julian, the Prince and Princess had previously refused to acknowledge that the old engagement was truly void.This time, the documents bore the royal family's seal. They stated explicitly that neither the debt of saving Lucien's life, nor family promises, nor any prior arrangement would be used to bind the Valerie family again.Along with the papers came my belongings that had been left behind in vampire territory.Several etiquette notebooks, and the jewelry Lucien had given me, pieces I had once treasured.I returned every piece of jewelry. In the end, I kept only the etiquette notebooks, and fed them into the fireplace.As the flames consumed those pages of meticulous notes, I felt no regret.Those elaborate vampire customs had once taken over most of my life.I was terrified of missing a single detail, terrified that one mistake

Evelyn's POVThat evening, I was returning home alone from the Valerie estate.Julian had stayed behind to help Father with business and had originally arranged for an escort.Since the ride was short and the route familiar, I took only the driver.After the carriage entered the woods, a gunshot rang out ahead.The startled horse veered off the road, and the driver struggled to rein the horse in.Moments later, a second shot echoed from deeper in the trees.This stretch was near the border between human and vampire territory.Hunters often set ambushes here at night. Their guns were loaded with silver bullets, and any wound they inflicted on a vampire would resist healing.I told the driver to stay with the carriage and wait.He didn't want to let me go alone, so I told him to wait a quarter of an hour.If I wasn't back by then, he was to return to the Valerie estate immediately for help.I took a lantern and made my way along the tree line.Dark bloodstains soon appeared on the grass.

Evelyn's POVAfter Lucien left, the restored paintings were carefully put away.Julian didn't ask why I chose not to hang them."Keep them as long as you want," he said. "Whenever you feel like looking at them, just bring them out."I nodded and returned to the studio to continue my new piece.I had been working on it for half a month. It depicted the garden on the south side of the Valerie estate.Father sat beneath a tree, reading a letter. Mother was arranging freshly cut flowers. Julian stood on the stone steps, going over winter repairs with the steward.There was also a figure seated by a window.I hadn't planned to paint myself into it.But as I worked, I added a chair by the window, then an easel, and then a hand holding a brush.Julian stood behind me, watching for a while."This is the first time you've included yourself."I looked at the woman in the painting.She wasn't standing behind anyone, and she didn't need to chase someone else's stride.She was simply sitting in the

Evelyn's POVShortly after the wedding, I started painting again.Julian gave me the room in the estate with the best light for a studio.He didn't buy expensive paints or decide what I should paint. He simply had all the old supplies I'd brought from the Valerie estate set up for me.The first time I walked in, I stood in the doorway for a long while.Beside the easel was a large window.Sunlight fell across the floor and lit up the worn brushes on the table.Julian asked, "You don't like it?"I shook my head."I just haven't painted in sunlight for a long time."In vampire territory, the curtains were always drawn thick and heavy.After the noblewomen discarded my work, I never touched a brush again.Julian didn't urge me to start.He only said, "This room will always be here for you."At first, I was still not used to things.When someone asked my opinion, I would preface it by saying I was probably wrong.If a servant moved too quickly, I would instinctively step aside.When I coul

Lucien's POVThe next day, I went to the estates of those noblewomen.They had clearly already heard about Evelyn marrying Julian. When they saw me, surprise flickered across their faces, quickly replaced by ingratiating smiles."What brings Your Highness here in person?"I didn't waste time on pleasantries."Where are the paintings Evelyn prepared for you?"Their expressions shifted simultaneously.One of the ladies forced a smile. "Those were just human works. We decided they weren't suitable for the banquet, so we...""I asked where they are."She didn't dare say another word and immediately sent a servant to lead the way.The paintings were still piled in the storage room.The frames were broken, and several canvases were stained with dust and wine. The work Evelyn had spent a month completing had been carelessly shoved beneath discarded decorations.Standing there, I suddenly remembered the night she told me, head bowed, how they had changed their demands over and over, how they k

Lucien's POVWhen the officiant announced Evelyn and Julian as husband and wife, the entire chapel erupted in applause.I stood at the far end of the carpet and watched that human man slide a ring onto her finger.Evelyn didn't look at me.Even when I called her name, even when I ordered her to stop, she didn't turn around.When she walked past me holding Julian's hand, I still believed it was nothing more than a moment of impulse.She couldn't handle life among vampires, so she had stormed back to the human world. She married someone else in haste just to avoid the engagement.Once she was in real danger, once she realized an ordinary human could never protect her the way I could, she would come back.I returned to the Blackwood estate and, out of habit, told a servant to prepare a meal suited for a human.The servant lingered."Is there something else?"He lowered his head."Your Highness, Miss Evelyn will not be returning for meals."I looked up."She's only staying with the Ashford
