Ruthless King Chapter 11
"Do these scumbags secretly want to be on a list of people to die?" His thoughts provoked a snarl from deep within him. The nobles kneeled before the king, their postures exuding deference and respect. Yet, beneath the surface, their motivations were far from pure. They sought to ingratiate themselves with the monarch, hoping to secure a coveted position for their daughters or sisters as queens. He maintained a stoic demeanor as their conversation persisted. The regal figure of the King remained composed as he sat at the head of the room, intently listening to the words being spoken. His attention waned as the conversation continued, particularly when the topic turned to his cherished love. "Her incapacity to fulfill the duties and responsibilities befitting a queen is evident. We must permit our King to take concubines or wives!" Those words were uttered by Marquess Kriza Cartagenas. The courtiers were oblivious to the subtle nuances of the king's countenance. Gritting his teeth,

"We apologize, Your Majesty," the servant said with a deep bow. "We can't stop the Queen." The servants bowed low as the king made his way through the grand hall, his regal presence commanding respect and admiration. They gestured towards him and gave a subtle nod. Without hesitation, they swiftly stepped aside. With measured steps, the King advanced towards his beloved, causing the vampires within the vicinity to widen their eyes in awe. They would once more become paralyzed by a fear they had not anticipated from the King should they utter a single word or move the slightest. "No worries, love. It's alright," he reassured the woman, though her forehead betrayed a clear frown. The room was not empty. There were presences watching within, and though they remained silent, she could sense their presence keenly. She furrowed her brow at him. The woman remained silent, lost in contemplation about the potential response of those around her to a mere mortal such as herself. "Hey, have y

"Mom! Emaline shouted. "Oh' God! Emaline! My child! You are well and safe!” The sound of her mother's voice yelling was audible to Emaline. Alaric was reluctant to release Emaline's hands, but she had already let go of the king's. Dismay filled Alaric's countenance, yet he acquiesced to the wishes of his beloved. He released his grip, yet his unwavering support for her persisted. The woman remained oblivious to her destination, having never laid eyes on it before. Despite her intense desire for the moment to arrive, the woman found herself unable to act upon it, even as she and her beloved were alone in body, mind, and spirit. The occurrence of such an event is highly improbable. "Mom!" Emaline called her mother like a child. Despite being bound, the woman remained poised, eagerly anticipating her daughter's arrival. As she finally arrived in the warm embrace of her mother, she clung to her tightly, unwilling to release her cherished parent. The King himself was taken aback, for

Emaline reclined in the most luxurious spot within the palace, savoring the comfort it provided. She politely inquired as to the whereabouts of the palace's quietest nook with the attendant on duty. Directions were given to her, and she was led to this place. Her gaze was fixed on a point in the distance, though she could not discern what lay before her. Regardless of the excellence of the meal before her, she found herself unable to partake. The reason for her lack of appetite lay in the fact that her mother, who had recently regained consciousness after fainting, was still refusing to speak to her. Following her reprimand of Emaline, her mother hurled a curse at the king. In the end, Emaline succumbed to her mother's insistent demands. The wind relentlessly battered her face. A biting cold that seemed to seep into every crevice accompanied the stillness of the night. The maids and guards standing behind her were strictly off-limits, no matter how much she yearned to inquire abou

"Emaline!" A piercing scream escaped Alaric's lips as he beheld his beloved one, unconscious and convulsing, while he contended with the renegade vampires who had submitted to their faction. The man found himself unable to release Emaline from his grasp, for she clung to his arms with fierce determination. As they approached the prison gates, she suddenly lost consciousness. Without a moment's hesitation, Alaric gently tapped the rosy cheeks of his beloved to assess her condition. "Goodness gracious," he muttered under his breath. He uttered the name Horacio. “Watch out for these leeches!" Make certain that they are taken care of!” Alaric instructed his butler, With swift and practiced movements, Horacio executed his master's commands. With a sense of urgency, Alaric made his way to the entrance of the prison and swiftly retraced his steps back to his quarters. The matter of their sleeping arrangements with the woman had not yet been broached. He relinquishes the decision-making t

"Where are we headed?" As the car glided along the road, Emaline turned to the man beside her and posed a question. Alaric rarely used the vehicle because he preferred to run purposefully towards his intended endpoint while covering the distance on foot. "Love," Alaric said, "we are headed to an orphanage." Emaline stayed there, her mind reeling from the man's words. Her mind struggled to comprehend the notion that a gentleman of his stature would deign to visit an establishment such as an orphanage. "What shall we do once we arrive there?" She posed the question with a serious tone. Alaric gently grasps Emaline's hand in his own. They sat side by side. "You and I are collaborating on the organization of an outreach program. Typically, I undertake this task in solitude, but with your presence, the endeavor has become notably more effortless. We could journey together," he suggested. "I implore you not to become disenchanted with the palace," the man earnestly explained. Emaline w

"I regret to inform you that my name is not Ophelia," she said with a hint of apology in her voice. Emaline introduced herself to the child, gently extricating herself from the tight embrace. "I am an only child," she informed the young one. The child eagerly shook her head, even though she couldn't see her. "No! Ophelia!" she exclaimed, "it is you! You are my younger sibling!" The young girl muttered with a tinge of anger directed at her. Emaline was left in a state of bewilderment as she tried to comprehend the child's words. It was particularly perplexing for her, given that she was older than the child and had never experienced having a sibling. Her mother had been facing difficulties conceiving again, which only added to Emaline's confusion. Emaline gently touched the little girl's face. Emaline empathizes with the child's plight, recognizing the immense difficulty that comes with losing one's parents or family. Her heart aches for the child, and she finds solace in the notio
Ruthless King Chapter 18
A week had passed since the events that transpired at the orphanage. Emaline continued to see Alaric. Emaline felt a newfound sense of liberation, despite the fact that her surroundings remained obscured from view. Emaline must be well-versed in the duties of a queen if she is to ascend to the throne. The man remained preoccupied with her, thus rendering any discussion about her eyes a distant possibility. Having just arrived from Britain, they set out to uncover and resolve the issues plaguing the land. She remains by the man's side throughout the day as he toils. Her body was weary, yet she paid no heed to the feats she had achieved through her association with the man. She breathed a sigh of relief as she noticed the man was actively seeking her input during their meeting. The man was unwavering in his focus, giving her his complete and undivided attention as she spoke. Emaline breathed a sigh of relief as she realized that the man before her truly regarded her as an equal, des
