Silver Eyed Devil

"Don't tell me you are not ready for the ball, Penny?" Irene sighed tiredly, glaring at her younger sister who was busy playing with her kitten. "Ball? What ball?" asked Penny, her green eyes glowing brightly. Even if she did know about the ball, she wasn't a bit interested in attending the vampire ball. She wasn't ready to be a meal for those bloodthirsty ani.... people. Irene sighed and answered annoyingly," the king invited us to his Ball and Momma wants us to go. She wants to find us a suitor as quickly as possible." "Suitors? Papa agreed?" "Yes, I believe he's ready to give us away. We have been living here for too long and the last thing I want is to be a source of a topic for those jobless villagers. Now get ready Penny, I will be in my room if you need help with your dress." said Irene, walking out of her sister's room. Penny placed her kitten on her bed, stood up, and lazily removed her nightgown. She still can't remember Irene telling her about the ball and even if she d

It was past midnight, Penny was in her room with her cat on her lap. She sat down beside the window admiring the stars, at the same time thinking about the silver-haired man she met, the king. She closed her eyes, remembering every little thing that happened between them. She wanted to get him out of her mind but she just can't. She wasn't able to get him out of her head and that was affecting her. She heard a click and turned around to see Irene walking into her room in her evening wear. Her eyes lingered on the pink evening wear that was once hers. Their father being a tailorman gave her the gown for her eighteenth birthday. At that time, she was still so close with Irene and that was also the year her sister showed her true colors. She gave the gown to Irene because she claimed to have washed her only nightgown but thinking about it now, it seems she lied to her. She removed her gaze from Irene and stared at the stars instead, choosing to ignore her. Irene noticed this but chose

"I'm here for your youngest daughter, Mr. Leos. I'm here to bring your youngest daughter to my palace." A long deafening silence took over, and they all gazed at each other with a baffled expression on their faces. Eloise turned around and left for Penny's room. She now finally realized why Penny had a worried expression on her face when she mentioned the king. All along, she knew the king was here for her and not who they all thought he was here for. The smile on Irene's face slowly died down. She fisted her knuckles angrily, piercing her fingers deep into her skin. Once again, her younger sister was going to take what was supposed to belong to her. Mr. and Mrs. Leos stared at each other for a while, they both had a lot to say. But...it was the king and not a stranger. One wrong word would have their head cut off. "My king, are you perhaps mistaken?" questioned Mrs. Leos with a bow. With a sly smile on his face, Zephyr responded, "Did I stutter, Mrs. Leos?" "I..." Mr. Leo h

"Pardon me?" Penny said, furrowing her eyebrows in the process."I will teach you that with time, Penelope. For now, just keep being my woman, will you?" Zephyr asked which will make anyone think that he was expecting an answer. But Penelope knows that he wasn't. He was barely toying with her feelings, only God knows how she ended up with a man like him. "I'm not your woman, my king," Penelope said firmly, her eyes were cold which made the smile on Zephyr's face grow wider. It was her cold eyes with the innocent aura exuding from her body that caught his attention when he first laid his eyes on her. Her innocence, the faux smile that's always on her face makes him so eager to see a real smile on her face. But one thing was certain, he was going to make sure that she falls so madly in love with him even if he has to go past through hell for that to happen."Time will tell, Penelope," Zephyr answered, not bothering to make her accept. He doesn't need her nor anyone else approval before

Penelope was in her chamber, still in a daze. There was a knock on her room's door which brought her out of her world. A brown-haired maid walked in with her head bowed. "Good Morning, Lady Penelope!", greeted the maid with a bow."Good Morning," responded Penelope half-heartedly. Ever since she stepped foot into the palace, strange things have just been happening to her and she so much hated it here."My Lady, the king wants you to dine with him in his room," the young maid said, still bowing.Penelope scoffed annoyingly, "Tell the king that I'm not hungry.""But..." The maid bit her tongue when she realized what she was about to do. There was a rule in the palace for the maids which was they were not allowed to question their masters. Though she was sent here by the king she had no right to question her decision even though she knows that the lady's response might cost her to face the king's wrath."I will, my Lady," the maid responded, walking out of Penny's room.Penelope let out
