All Chapters of The Blood King's Bride: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Elena and Elion made their way out of their shared room. Elion knocked at Forest's door, and when he didn't answer for some time, they surmised that he was sleeping. Forest slept like the dead whenever he was tired. They decided to find something to eat and perhaps remain some for Forest. As they made their way downstairs, they passed some people who came from the upper floor, and we're heading downstairs, and some who came from downstairs, and we're heading upstairs. The environment was gay. Everyone was happy. Especially those who were taken out of their homeland don't look like they would trade anything to go back. They reached the reception hall, and Elena asked the female who sat there where they could find some food. Elion's eyes were taking in their surrounding. Either she was looking for something suspicious or admiring its beauty. Elena thought it was both. Since they had come here, they had both taken their bath and rested. Well, Elena did. She was so stressed out

They rode silently into the river until they were surrounded by the thick fog surrounding it. "Cover your nose and don't breathe in the fog. It is poisonous too, but can harm your skin." They did as he told immediately they reached the inside of the fog, and after a while, the fog finally cleared to reveal a huge dark gate. By its side were two gigantic statues with hoods over their heads. They were bent as if in prayers, their jointed hands lifted as that of one pleading. They were painted grey, and together with the eerie environment, they gave out a very dangerous appearance. "This is the domain of the blood king. I can't believe this." Forest said as they landed on the other side of the river. Aaron maneuvered the boat to make it easier for them to come out of it. They all stood and made their way gently to the other side of the river. Finally, they stood in front of the ginormous gate. The gate was broodingly tall and dark and screamed of power. Elena shuddered whil

Calhoun felt that something was different as he stepped into the castle. He took a look at his parents, who smiled proudly at him. His mother was already on the verge of shedding silent tears, and his father was grinning widely. He looked around the castle hall, trying to figure out what made the atmosphere different from when he last left, but he couldn't find anything strange. He walked over to his mother, hugged her, and gave his father a piercing stare. Whatever he saw in his face, his father immediately recognized it as something important. "Welcome back son." He said, his voice booming over the hall. At that, cheers from everywhere, both in the castle and outside, started. He knew why his people cheered, and he understood that they had made a mistake about the situation, a mistake he wasn't yet ready to correct. Firoza was dangerous to everyone, and till he could find a way to protect not only his family and people from her, he would rather keep her close than let

Elena sat in the room she shared with Elion and Forest, her face a blank mask. Forest sat next to her while Elion kept pacing around the room. "Someone tell me that what I saw below wasn't real." She ranted her face a mixture of pure rage. "Please tell me that the same guy who asked to court our Elena didn't just introduce another lady as his Bride." Elena looked at Elion strangely. It was weird seeing her wired up, especially for a problem that wasn't hers. Forest saw the look she gave his sister and immediately held her hand, caressing it softly. "Don't be sad, even I was deceived by him. I thought he was an honourable man. Who would have known that he was a two-timing snake!" Elena slowly turned to face him. "I know that you might not want to see him now, but leave him to me. I'll go up and confront him. I don't care if he is king." The situation kept getting weirder and weirder for Elena, so she quickly put up her hands. "Enough," she shouted. The

She had struck Jackpot. Firoza couldn't believe it. To think that luck had been on her side all this while. She sighed, smiling as she took in the grandeur of the room assigned to her. It was magnificent. The bed linen was made of the finest sheets, and its beams were made of fine mahogany. The walls were velvet, and despite the windows, there was not a wick of light outside. It was perfect. She had been surprised as they were going towards the forbidden lands. Then she was shocked when they entered the Blood territory and even more shocked when she found out that Calhoun was the King. As if to make it sweeter, the whole land thinks she is the woman Calhoun has an interest in, and if things go her way, he would have no choice but to be genuinely interested in her. As for her other goals, Calhoun had just made her job much easier. ***** Firoza took up the mantle of soon–to–be queen pretty well, Elena thought as she watched the said female runabout, "kindly" g
