Chapter 47
Once everything has settled down, watch as the moon overtakes the night sky. The sounds of several owls from a distance can be heard. It's quiet since the warriors and merchants are sleeping at this time.
Aesthelia watches how Gior's chest comes up and down. She waited for Gior's breathing to return to normal. He experienced a near-death situation, which he fortunately overcame. It seems the deity really does adore him this much. Aesthelia sighed, remembering some of Custos's words about how the world works.
It took hours before Gior's health finally became stable. Aesthelia stood up and went in search of the illegitimate prince, who was in a hurry to say something.
"Prince Elliot," Aesthelia called out to the prince and nodded, silently telling him it was time to talk.
Aesthelia and Elliot decided to take a walk outside. Of course, she is still on alert if a vampire comes back.
"What is it, Prince Elliot? What made you

The sound of grass swaying in the wind rang through the silent open-field in the middle of an isolated place. Aesthelia can't help but let her eyes roam through the forest that is located on the side. It is a forest that becomes a barrier; those tall trees hide the pack's borderline. After a few seconds of staring, Aesthelia raised her hands to guide the horse where she wanted to go. Aesthelia has been travelling with a horse since she refused to transform into her wolf. Well, it is a good thing she learned horseback riding when she was young. It's become useful now because Aesthelia didn't know if humans here were open beings with beasts or not. It might cause a ruckus and disturbance. That very thought was vague. There was an agreement, but Aesthelia thinks humans think worsely of wolves, just like Rasc's servants, even though they made an exception for Aesthelia. It can't be helped. Aesthelia planned to sneak inside the empire. She didn't let

When the tension between the two powerful rulers merges, the silence becomes the loudest noise. No one can interfere with their murderous staring contest. Well, no one would actually dare come between them. It's no doubt. Aesthelia kept her head bowed down as she put glasses of wine quietly on the table. It's a breath of relief that she can manage to contain her emotions all to herself. She can at least distinguish her emotions right now. Only the breathing can be heard, followed by nervous gulps and the sound of wine as someone kept twirling the wine glass. Aesthelia dozed off when she recalled how the emperor had protected her earlier. It's surprising given that they've only just met, and as a complete stranger at that. She wasn't so sure about calling it "protecting." "You hit a nerve just now, your majesty." The vampire king's eyes glowed crimson red as his fangs extended, threateningly wanting to attack, but unfortunately, he held back the will. His ego has been hurt pretty

Well, despite Aesthelia's hearing ability. It feels like she's unable to hear a thing. The screaming, sobbing, and panicking, all of it went muted.She didn't notice how she couldn't take her eyes off that lifeless body, and it wasn't just anyone. That's the ruler of this empire, the person above anyone on this continent. Aesthelia's grandfather was also Aesthelia's blood and flesh relative in this world. The smell of blood snapped Aesthelia's attention; the sound came back and it was horrifying. Everything was in disarray; people were fleeing, and vampires pursued them in order to quench their thirst for blood.The hunters are at work. Aesthelia knew that those daggers would run out soon, and the situation wasn't good because they were currently outnumbered. Some were already deceased. They were once feared by vampires, but now it's different. Aesthelia couldn't hide her frustration as she lost her hope, but that didn't last long when a hand grabbed her arms, waking her up into the

The sense of impending doom had vanished. Gior found himself panting as he attempted to awaken from a deep slumber. His wounds still cause him some discomfort.Unlike the grass and rough stone where he had fallen while unwittingly fighting a vampire, the bed where he was presently felt soft.The memories of the recent fight came crashing into him as soon as he recalled the bloodsucking creature—one more deep breath as he sat up with sweat flowing all over his body. "W-where am I?" He asked in a hoarse voice. His throat became dry, rendering him unable to speak.His eyes scanned the familiar ceiling and everything. It looks like they've gone back to the pack, at least that's what he thought. It means that they successfully completed the mission, which solved the pack storage shortage. "The Alpha is awake!" As soon as she saw Gior move, the salutary announced. A couple of howls soon followed, and they can be heard outside of the place. The werewolves who were terrified and heartbroken

The gathering took place at the pack house. They are getting ready by informing every warrior wolf, even the wolves who are not yet trained, want to participate and protect their pack. The quiet and serious vibe going around was interrupted when human servants came running and barging. She's demanding for an answer."What do you mean, Aesthelia didn't come back with you?" Marie questioned the wolf who happened to go with the mission. She grabbed him by the clothes near his collar. Her strength seemed to match the wolf's. Marie just got the news of their arrival and came running as if her life was at stake. Aesthelia was like Marie's family. She lived most of her life taking care of Aesthelia and dedicated her life to Aesthelia's safety."Third-in-Command Aesthelia escorted us as soon as we were within the shield. She dashed off and disappeared. " A warrior wolf said patiently with more details. The disruption caught almost everyone's attention, including the higher wolves and the a

There's no window, no light, and nowhere to escape to, except the tunnel. There is an escape route, but there is a high chance that they will end up in the ocean and drown.Aesthelia stayed hidden unbelievably for at least two days, waiting for Elliot's recovery along with Custos', who had exhausted his mana to its limit.Goodthing. The vampires didn't seem to eagerly check the underground, or else they'd die without much fight. The smell of dried blood of deceased prisoners masked Aesthelia's and Elliot's scents. The awful and wrenching smell helped them, even though it made Aesthelia vomit. It seems the situation made her overcome her fear of blood. She doesn't have much choice at this point."AGH…" Elliot groaned in pain as he was slowly gaining consciousness.Aesthelia swiftly goes to Elliot's side to assist him. "W-where am I?" Elliot asked worriedly. He's unable to get up and his visions are out. "We're hiding in the underground dungeon." "We are safe for now, but I don't kno

The more her breath hitches, the more her heart beats. Lurking inside the enemy's dangerous teritorry can be nerve-wrecking and terrifying. Aesthelia felt like she will bath on her own nervous sweat. She wanted to ignore how her knee trembled for a second when the vampire stared down at her earlier—she felt as if the vampire could have snapped her neck in a minute. The eyes of predators who carefully observe their prey's movements are far scarier than any horror films she has seen."The difference is—I am one of the people who's on the death list now." Aesthelia was lost in her own thoughts. She voiced them out with a sadder-chuckling tone. At least Merideth is with them right now. They can get closer and interrogate the vampire to plan the escape. Aesthelia can relax, but she remains vigilant—a traitor who has betrayed you once can betray you again.For some time, Elliot managed to walk little by little until he could perfectly walk without limping. Aesthelia's worry is reduced. "
Pages Chapter 55: Aesthelia as the Strategist
Aesthelia collided with Gior's arm. That is when they clearly felt the spark when their skin touched. It only means they are fated to be mates—mates with an uncontrollable bond. Gior snapped out of his anger. He became relaxed under Aesthelia's touch, and he almost lost all of his reasoning earlier when he saw Aesthelia's being injured and just mindlessly attacked.This is the first time Aesthelia realized it. Now that explains why Aesthelia shows that behavior. The hostility against Merideth, how her wolf disappeared, and why her emotions are affected by anything that involves Gior."We are mates?" Aesthelia asked in confusion. However, Aesthelia already knew the answer. "Yes." Gior said, straight-staring at her eyes. His eyes became soft; the relentlessness that he felt vanished in an instant."What a sweet reunion that you have forgotten about me," The vampire king muttered amused while clapping his hands, trying to gain everyone's attention. "How can I forget about you?""When
