The Vampire King Married Death Chapter 55: A Kingdom Divided
The warning echoed in Nyx’s mind long after the mysterious voice had faded into silence.She remained standing in the middle of the deserted road, her hand resting against the Memory Shard beneath her cloak. The crystal had grown cold again, as though nothing unusual had happened. Yet the unease inside her refused to disappear.Lucien noticed the change in her expression and guided his horse closer.“What is it?”Nyx hesitated. She had learned to trust very little of the strange visions and voices surrounding her forgotten past, but this felt different. Whoever had spoken was trying to protect them.“The Memory Shard awakened,” she replied quietly. “Someone warned me not to return to Blackthorn. They said a trap has already been set.”Captain Roderic exchanged a worried glance with Master Orion.“That could be another trick of the Hollow God,” the captain said. “He has already shown that he can reach into minds.”Nyx slowly shook her head.“No.”Lucien looked at her.“You’re certain?”

Captain Roderic remained on the ridge, watching the sea of silver wolf banners advancing across the southern plains. Even from that distance, the disciplined movement of thousands of soldiers revealed that Caelan had prepared this campaign long before raising his standard against the crown. Siege engines rolled behind the infantry, while cavalry units guarded the flanks in perfect formation.“They’re heading straight for Blackthorn,” he said as he climbed back down. “If they continue at this pace, they’ll reach the capital before dawn.”Lucien studied the horizon in silence. Every instinct urged him to ride directly for the castle, yet the road before them told a different story. The dead were no longer remaining in their graves, and each passing hour gave the Hollow God’s influence more room to spread across the empire.“We’ll take the eastern road,” Lucien decided. “It’s longer, but it will keep us ahead of the rebel scouts.”Captain Roderic nodded.“They’ll expect us to use the Kin
The Vampire King Married Death Chapter 53: The Dead Along the Road
A heavy silence followed the messenger’s final words. Even the crackling flames consuming the last of Ashmoor Village seemed distant as Lucien stood motionless with the royal letter still clutched in his hand. Sunrise was less than a day away. If Caelan placed the crown upon his own head before the rightful king returned, the rebellion would become far more than an act of treason. It would become a battle for the soul of the Night Empire.Lucien folded the letter carefully and slipped it inside his cloak. His expression was calm, but everyone who knew him understood that his patience had reached its limit. The time for gathering answers had ended. The time to reclaim his kingdom had begun.“We leave now,” he said. “The villagers have survived the attack. Reinforcements can protect them once we send word to the nearest loyal garrison.”Captain Roderic nodded immediately and began organizing the soldiers. Fresh horses were gathered from the village stables, supplies were loaded in haste

The clash at Ashmoor Village ended as swiftly as it had begun. The surviving rebel soldiers fled into the surrounding forest, abandoning their weapons and horses in a desperate attempt to escape the Vampire King’s wrath. Smoke continued to rise from the burning homes, but the villagers had begun working together to contain the flames. Some carried buckets from the village well, while others searched the wreckage for survivors.Lucien sheathed the Sword of Night and surveyed the destruction around him. Several homes had been reduced to blackened ruins, and the village square was littered with broken carts and shattered market stalls. The victory brought him little satisfaction. His people had suffered because they had remained loyal to the crown, and he had arrived too late to prevent it.Nyx moved quietly through the village, kneeling beside the wounded regardless of whether they were human or vampire. She pressed her hand against a frightened child’s forehead, and the boy’s trembling
The Vampire King Married Death Chapter 51: Smoke Over Blackthorn
As the company prepared to leave the ruins of the Sunken Cathedral, Elaria stopped at the edge of the ancient stone bridge. The wind lifted her silver cloak as she looked toward the eastern horizon, where the first rays of dawn struggled through the gathering clouds.“This is where our paths separate,” she said quietly.Lucien frowned. “You’re leaving?”She nodded. “There are old sanctuaries hidden beyond the Frost Mountains. The barriers protecting them are beginning to fail. If they fall, more ancient creatures will escape into the world. I cannot ignore that.”Nyx stepped closer. “Will we meet again?”A gentle smile touched Elaria’s face. “The world is growing smaller with every crack in the Veil. Our paths will cross again when the time is right.”She looked at Lucien before adding, “Protect her, Your Majesty. The empire believes it needs a king, but before this war ends, it will discover how much it needs its queen.”Without another word, pale light gathered around her. Her figur
The Vampire King Married Death Chapter 50: The Last Gift of the Cathedral
The ancient guardian remained silent after revealing that Nyx’s forgotten name was tied to the promise that had made her the Keeper of Death. No one pressed him for another answer. The look in his eyes made it clear that he had already said more than he believed he should. Even the old man beside him lowered his head, knowing that the trial had reached its natural end.A low rumble rolled beneath the cathedral, interrupting the heavy silence. This tremor was different from the ones they had felt before. The water covering the floor began flowing rapidly toward the eastern wall, while fine cracks spread across several towering pillars. Dust drifted from the ceiling, and distant echoes reverberated through the endless halls as though the entire structure had begun protesting against the passage of time.The old man looked around with growing concern. “The cathedral is becoming unstable,” he said. “The Hollow God’s influence has reached this place sooner than I feared. We no longer have
