MINO ALEXANDER ILLUSTRE 2

I felt my weak body and a soft mattress. I slowly opened my eyes so I can see where I am.

I was taken aback when I recognized the room in which I am now. How did I get into my own room? I'm having a good time with someone in a hotel room, so how did I get here? My mind is racing with questions about how I got here, but an idea struck me.

Maybe it's Mom again, maybe she found out that I'm seeing someone again. Haist! I immediately shake my head. It is definitely Mom and she even actually use sleeping gas just for this ruse. I grumbled bitterly, knowing that she would go to any length to keep me away from women.

Why am I even wondering? She definitely had duplicates of the hotel room keys that she obtained through her connections, then she entered the room and let those gasses out so that I wouldn't fight or cause more trouble at the hotel. Oh, Mom!

I simply chose to lie back down on my bed and enjoy the silence of my bedroom. I was about to fall asleep when I heard a loud crash beneath our living room.

I didn't intend to pay any more attention to it, but my body didn't seem to resist any longer, and my consciousness simply returned when I went down the stairs away from my room and into our large living room.

I sneak up behind a wall to see what's there. But I had an odd sensation, I felt the familiar coldness of the surroundings, which I also felt in the hotel. Something is most likely wrong. I frowned as soon as I was properly positioned. I saw my parents with three other people wearing cloaks, with the one in the middle wearing red and wearing a face cover.

"You don't have to hide because we can sense where you are," a solemn baritone voice said from the living room. My brow twitched immediately. I'm too far away from him for that to happen. I no longer kept myself hidden. I approached my parents, who had been quiet for some time.

Who the hell are these people, and why are they here at this hour? I keep my guard up in case they do something.

"Who are you people?" I wondered as I grew closer to my parents. No one attempted to answer my simple question for a few seconds.

"Mom? Who are they?" I couldn't wait any longer, and mom was the one I asked.

"They-they are-" mom nervously stated. What the hell is going on? Why does Mom appear to be scared of them?

"Dad, who are they?" I inquired, feeling as if my mom had frozen.

"Mi-Mino Iho. They are here to get you," my father said quietly, as if he didn't want me to hear what he was saying. I arched my brow. What exactly does dad mean by that? I couldn't help but be annoyed because my mind had become fragmented. There are a lot of questions running through my head, and then dad will say something cryptic that I don't understand.

"What do you mean, dad?" I couldn't hide my irritation at the tone of my questioning. What the hell is all of this for the nth time? Why are my parents acting this way? Who are these people? Why would they take me, and what do they intend to do with me? All of this is incredibly frustrating.

Dad was about to answer me when I noticed that the two people on either side of the person in red had removed their cloaks to reveal themselves. In my mind, I was immediately devalued. What on earth are they?

I was immediately horrified when I saw a man who appeared to be my age but whose presence screamed maturity, and another who appeared to be my age but whose posture screamed royalty, authority, and power, especially with that crown on her head. Their clothing is also only worn by royals and can be seen on people living in the kingdom. But none of that matters because I'm looking them in the eyes. It's a fucking bright red!

They are not human! My foot felt as if it had been nailed to the floor. Shivers ran down my spine, and it felt like a bucket of ice cold water had been dumped on me. Is this a dream? This is simply not possible! This is a terrible joke!

I appear to have been firmly established in my position. I didn't know what to do because their red eyes seemed to be suffocating my body. I'm terrified! I'm afraid for my life and the lives of my parents. Only now in my entire life have I been terrified. Someone please wake me up. This is the worst nightmare!

This is like the time when I am only 9 years old before and a monster entered my bedroom. The fear and nervousness I feel now is very similar to that day. Why do I feel that scene is connected to what was happening today?

"We have come to fulfill the agreement," the woman with the crown on her head said softly. It's still silly for me to think, but I know she's the queen. It's as if I'm in a movie. A terrifying movie.

"What agreement are you referring to?" I don't care which continent she reigns over. She's in my world!

"Why aren't your parents the ones to explain?" the man asked emphatically. I immediately focused my attention on my parents. What do I not understand? Are you withholding something from me?

"Mom? Dad?" I call them urgently. I could no longer calm myself down. I seem to be losing respect. What's up? What should I know?

"Mino, so-son," mom trembled, "the queen will marry you to her only child." Fuck! What she said immediately made my blood boil. I just felt like I'd lost my balance in my position, as I felt both weak and surprised. How much more nonsense will I have to put up with tonight? Agreement? Set to marry? Are they making me look foolish? Is this another of Mom's ploys?

My rage at her grew stronger. Is it really necessary for her to pull such a stunt? What is with this trick? Is this something new? I'm not sure who I'll direct my rage and hatred toward. I intend to harm anyone who approaches me. They really want to make me mad.

"I DON'T GET ANY OF THIS MOM? DAD?" I couldn't take the strain of my rage any longer. I shouted at them. I stared at them as if I were going to kill them. I noticed how my mom can't look me in the eyes while my father is worried sick about her because he knows she doesn't want us to fight.

But Hell! I am mad! I am very mad!

"LAST TIME I CHECKED, YOU WANT ME TO DUMP MY GIRLFRIEND BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT ME TO MARRY, AND NOW YOU'RE TELLING ME THIS!" I confronted my parents for the first time in my life. Who will not grow angry? They almost always objected to every woman I loved, and now they're giving me to this devils?

I despise both of them! What kind of parents are they? What kind of parents would allow their child to be married with a monster? If this is how you treat me, you should not have let me be born!

"Will you quit it? You whine like a pregnant woman!" I shot a sharp look at the woman who abruptly spoke. Even though I know you're a monster, I'm going to fight to death. You must not meet my wrath!

"SHUT IT LADY! YOU'RE JUST A WOMAN HIDING IN THAT DARK RED CLOAK!" I said coldly but firmly as I examined her cloak. Even though I haven't seen her in her entirety, I have no intention of marrying a monster like her. Who the hell is she? Even though she's a woman, she's still a monster! The world will be in chaos when it is plagued by bloodthirsty creatures like them.

"Don't you dare to talk back human, no one has ever given me orders," she said boldly. I sarcastically smiled, I'm glad to be the first. You increase the heat of my blood even higher! I will not allow myself to show you how frightened I am. If I have to die today, so be it. It would be a suicide if I happened to come with you.

I immediately locked my gaze on the woman, unable to see her entire face due to a cloth covering it, but I became terrified when her eyes turned red. I've never truly dreamed! This is definitely true! My heart was whipped by fear again as I felt the sudden urge to run, those eyes are freaking scary!

"You want me to marry a freaking monster?" I asked quickly, turning to face my parents, who had been silent for some time. Will you not even defend me? Will you really surrender me? You're going to let them take me so easily?

"Do you want me to die, Mom and Dad?" I enquired bitterly. I want to start a fight and injure someone! Just force me to come and they will die here!

"They won't hurt you, Mino," dad assured me. They are monsters with no other purpose than to harm and kill!

"Son, please! Just hear us out!" my mom exclaimed as she burst into tears. After all of your actions mom this is what I will consider as the worst. I despise you!

"STOP CALLING ME YOUR SON BECAUSE THE MOMENT YOU GIVE ME TO THIS MONSTERS YOU MUST FORGET THAT YOU HAVE A SON!" upon saying that my dad quickly supported my mom when she is about to lose her balance. That's how much pain I feel right now, losing the strength to stand up!

"Is this the way you show your gratitude to them?" the woman said abruptly. My rage grew. I will never ever accept you as my bride because we will never get along. I hate you!

"I thought that your son is aware about this Rosanna but he looks so surprised," the man who had been watching me said abruptly.

"We plan to tell it to him but you arrived quickly," mom said while she is still shaking and crying her eyes out.

"So you're blaming us now? We had given you years to prepare him for this and this is what we get? You don't seem to be following the scriptures," the queen said as if she is not watching my family fall apart in front of her eyes. They really made sure that there is a concreteness with this bullshit contract or whatever.

"When did humans took their words seriously?" a meaningful statement of the woman who had previously been butting in with prior conversations .

"You don't know how to obey so you will lose him earlier than expected," the man said with authority.

Shit! I immediately became worried. That just doesn't settle well with me because it implies the presence of a force. You are not permitted to touch me.

"Have mercy! We can't afford to losing our son!" dad pleaded immediately as he yanked me onto his back. I could feel his cold touch on my skin. I could feel him trembling, but he bravely blocked himself to keep me hidden behind him.

You shouldn't have made an agreement if you don't want me to disappear in the first place. It's still entirely your fault, mom and dad! It's entirely your fault!

I was in the middle of such a thought when I suddenly felt someone grab my back. I immediately stiffened when I saw the man who had just been in front of us before and was now behind me. Shit!

"Get your hands off me! You Monster!" I bucked hard on him and tried to break his grip on my back. I will not allow this! I will fight! I will never ever go with you!

"It has been said and done!" he coldly replied and that is the last thing that I had heard from him before I felt weak and my eyes closed.

Fuck!

----------------------------------------------------------

Everything that happened to me prior to my arrival in this world felt like a fast-paced movie that I would never watch again. I could feel her fangs buried deep down my neck. She is literally sucking the life out of me as if she doesn't plan to leave a single drop behind.

I screamed at the top of my lungs, and all I could do was scream. I struggled, but her fangs only grew sharper. In this dark room, the woman I'd never seen before will indeed murder me. I can't see her entire face! I was gradually losing strength, and my eyelids were becoming heavier.

I am not mistaken! They truly are monstrous. It is simply too easy for them to murder humans like me. I felt like a lifeless piece of paper, unable to move any part of my body. I never imagined dying in this manner. There are numerous causes of death; why am I destined to die in the arms of a beast?

My vision gradually darkened as he seemed to absorb my soul as well. I'm not going to last long. I took a deep breath before my vision became completely dark. Shit!

"VREIHYA!"
