The Bound Of Love Chapter 17: Shared The Bed
The palace was once again turned upside down by the frantic attendants, searching for him. The Queen candidates were not informed of all the commotion though. They were given the excuse the king wasn't feeling well and had their stay extended until the king returns to make his choice. The candidates, then, were sent to their respective quarters on the West side of the palace and were told to get enough rest. "Lord Tobeyaz, do you have the slightest idea where the king is?" asked one of the ministers when Tobeyaz just got back into the meeting room.Tobeyaz inhaled deeply. "I am as lost as you, Count Gestain," he said, "but, once the guards find out a clue, everyone will be notified." Then, he went to his chair and sat. He poured a chalice full of blood and glugged it. He was exhausted. Not only was he given the task to protect the elf, but he also had to purse his lips about the king's real intention of foiling all of the ladies grades. If Tobeyaz spilt the truth, the king might tu
The Bound Of Love Chapter 18: A Sweet Secret
Then, Amethyst immediately lifted the blanket and glanced down. Her eyes widened. She was naked. Bare. No clothes. Just plain skin in sight. Although petrified, not a simple gasp came out of her mouth. Cross, she glanced at Luveas, "What happened to my clothes?" Luvead tilted his head. "I took them off."Amethyst felt her heart stop beating. Unexpectedly, fury filled her entire body but, she couldn't express them properly. She only sat on the bed, clenching her jaws."Are you afraid?" asked Luveas when there were no responses from her. His question only got him a sharp glare from the elf. Then, he chuckled, further swelling her heart. Ah, he liked to see her angry face. He had not seen that expression for nearly two weeks, and today his longing was finally paid off. He had so much fun when he was with her compared to when he had to entertain the vampire ladies. The vampire leaned back on the chair. "Last night," he began, "you did something incredible."Amethyst squinted at his cl
The Bound Of Love Chapter 19: His Selected Queen
"I didn't mean that. I-""You're unhappy about my attachment with the elf. Why? Had she killed any of your family? Had you forgotten what I've asked of you?"Tobeyaz inhaled deeply. "I have no intention to disobey your orders, Your Majesty. I'm worried that you couldn't produce an heir if you choose to dawdle the matter that we try to tackle now. Please, I implore you to pick one so we can send the others home." Luveas tilted his head. "Why are you asking me this?" he asked. "I left that task to you. I gave you the authority to pick one among them all. Have you forgotten about that?""But, I can't decide based on my preference because we're picking a wife for you, My Lord. We want her to be someone that you prefer and someone that you're comfortable with.""There are none that match my preference," revealed the king. "None!" His voice rose. Tobeyaz stayed quiet. Then, he heard the king say, "Just do what I asked from you, Tobeyaz, and enough whining like those useless ministers!"To

"Why?" asked Lady Emia. "Had His Majesty threatened to kill you?"Tobeyaz turned silent. Then, he smiled and said, "He hadn't but, there's no harm done to always stay sharp.""Hmm, it sounds like my fiancé is having problems with his attitude."Tobeyaz chuckled. "Well, everyone has their bad and good sides that outsiders are kept away from."Lady Emia leaned forward, smiling, "I'll keep it in mind, then. Anyway, does he have someone by his side as we speak?" She got back to her initial priority. Tobeyaz inhaled deeply. "I am not-""Who is she?" interrupted the lady. Her eyes shone brightly. "Is she one of the maids in the palace?"Tobeyaz sighed softly. "Emia, please watch over your manners. You could fall into danger if you behave this way around His Majesty."Lady Emia lifted the chalice off the table and took a sip from it. "You're no fun, cousin," she said, "you're always nagging and pointing out my fault.""You should be grateful for I'm doing so to keep you alive," answered Tob
The Bound Of Love Chapter 21: Where Are You Going?
Then, Luveas said, "Also, please be informed, whoever dares to lay a finger on my elf will face my wrath. Remember it well, Tobeyaz." Then, he added, "Ah, I will be going to visit the border soon and I hope you keep her safe at the cost of your and your cousin's life. Do you understand?""I understand, Your Majesty.""By the way, I forgot to mention it but I know what you and Lady Emia spoke about today," said the king in amusement.Tobeyaz flinched in his seat. 'How is that possible?' he thought. How did the king manage to find out about their conversation?Then, he heard the king say with a little chuckle, "So, be careful from now on because if Lady Emia decided to overstep her boundary, I might take the elf as my mistress just as she feared. But, it would be a sweet nightmare, don't you think, Tobeyaz?"Tobeyaz turned paler than he already had. He couldn't react and stayed silent where he sat. Luveas, seeing that the secretary turned to stone at his desk, scoffed. Then, he continu
The Bound Of Love Chapter 22: Ugly
"I beg your pardon?"Luveas stepped forth, cornering her. "Someone who wants to do something dangerous or plans to leave will apologize out of the blue," he said. "Are you planning to leave me? Perhaps, forever?"Amethyst squinted, flabbergasted. "Had someone said something like this to you before?"She had no idea what had made him say that. She had lost her entire family members and she didn't want to say sad goodbyes to someone like him, who she had just known might have gone through a harsh life, a life that she had not known of.Luveas said nothing as he reverted to his calmness. He glanced to the side and said, "Please, forget I said that."Amethyst paced forward but Luveas flinched and stepped back. "Step back, Amethyst," he said, cautioning her of the danger if she came too close.Amethyst halted. "I'm not going to hurt you.""But I might!" said Luveas and worry permeated his tremulous voice.Amethyst inhaled deeply and then said, "If you truly want to hurt me, you would've do
The Bound Of Love Chapter 23: His Heart Skipped A Beat
Amethyst stepped away from the mirror and went to the bow window. She looked at the garden where the flowers bloomed beautifully. Then, she looked at the flowers that grew inside the room, sighing softly.The wisterias hung down and created shades everywhere; the elf had a hard time getting her clothes dry for she left them dry in the room after washing them. She couldn’t step out into the open either.Crash!Amethyst jumped when one of the windows broke and the pieces fell on the floor. She stepped away and gasped inwardly. Then, she noticed a stone painted red and also a letter tied to it.The elf peeked from the window and squinted, searching for the responsible one, but there was no one in sight. After that, she picked the stone and separated it from the letter. The letter was written in the tongue of the humans and she had a hard time trying to read the content.Amethyst said nothing but inhaled deeply. She continued to look around, staying alert.…Tobeyaz came in the evening, b
The Bound Of Love Chapter 24: Wake Up
“How about relocating them to the interior of Drizzar? I believe there are many spaces to accommodate them all. They could return to the border again after the place is cleansed from the disease.”Ealyas sighed. “We are currently facing opposition from the permanent dwellers in the interior of Drizzar. Since the vampires near the borders are accustomed to the ways of the humans, it is harder for them to mingle with the interior vampires. We also found out they are having an internal feud among them.”“Internal feud?” Luveas was surprised. "Explain."“The vampires from the interior of Drizzar claimed that the vampires living near the borders are in cahoots with the humans to capture and sell young vampires in exchange for elf’s blood. Some of them said those living near the borders have been doing lots of the dirty jobs for the humans.”Luveas stayed silent. He clenched on the table. The reports in his hands got crumpled.“What other news did you hear from them?” he asked. His voice tur
