She called out to her parents with a sense of urgency. Emaline turned over in bed and let out a piercing cry, calling out for her parents. Tears streamed down her face as she lifted both hands towards the heavens, as if grasping for an intangible something. A terrifying nightmare in which her adored parents perished untimely as a result of her actions disturbed her sleep. Once again, tears streamed down her face as she let out a deep, gut-wrenching sob. The young woman was acutely aware of her own vulnerability and had come to accept it as an inescapable aspect of her being. Emaline focused on taking slow, deliberate breaths, willing her chest to relax and her heart to slow its frantic beating. With a gentle exhalation, she attempted to rise to her feet, only to be reminded of the unfortunate incident that had befallen her. Emaline was struck with sudden confusion. For a moment, she forgot that she was blind. With a sudden burst of energy, she leapt from her stance. Regrettably,

The king's arrival was swift, and just as swiftly, the girl departed. "Leave me be!" she cried out.Emaline was acutely aware of the man standing directly in front of her, his presence dominating her senses. No one could impede her from indulging in childlike behavior. Is this childish? That's great for her!It may be the mind of a child, yet the grip of anger remains unrelenting. The monarch found himself at a loss for methods to pacify his beloved lover. The monarch came to the realization that stubbornness had taken hold. Her obstinacy was as unyielding as the depths of hell. Despite the king's lack of knowledge regarding his beloved's name, his fervent pleas persisted unimpeded. "My love," he said, his voice low and firm. "I have already meted out punishment to them. I have already taken the lives of two individuals who bear responsibility for the demise of your father. The quartet that remained would soon proceed. Please," he pleaded, her voice tinged with desperation. "I imp

"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
