Freya jumped in fright when someone knocked on the door to the room she was kept in. She instinctively moved back into the bed, while she held the sheets tight as if it will protect her.The knock came again, before the door slowly opened, and a woman came in."Good morning. The duke asked me to check on you.""I am fine." She whispered."I should prepare a warm bath for you."Freya nodded, as she was cold. She had been left naked for days and exposed to the cold.The lady walked into the room and to Freya's bed. She touched her body."You are so cold."She then went into the bathroom to prepare the bath. Freya walked into the bathroom with the robe she was given to wear the previous night. She wanted to undress, but she noticed that the lady was not going away."Uhm... I need to..." She awkwardly cleared her throat, not knowing how to send her away. "Will you stay here while I... bath?""

Dahlia watched nervously as the prince's blood continue to drop into the witch's bowl. She wondered what he was up to. She really hoped that he was not really getting into a blood ritual that would bind them together. But that was his blood, and that was a witch. How else could this be explained?King Mikael was suspicious of how compliant Raziel was. The prince would never agree to things against his wish just like that. He never lets anyone tells him what to do. Even he the king couldn't fully place him under his control. Raziel would only obey when it pleases him. And that was why he would always resort to threats, using people he cared about against him.Raziel noticed his father staring at him. He gave the man a look he could not fathom. Raziel then shrugged."Don't be surprised father. I want to marry her for real." He whispered, knowing his father could hear him. The king narrowed his gaze at him.Evelyn observed from where she was. She noticed that Raziel was the only one invo

Luciana laughed at Raziel's reaction to what she said. The prince was completed taken aback by the seriousness in her tone, and he had reflexively gotten up from her thighs."Did I scare you your highness?" She laughed again. She would think of his reaction again and laugh harder."Is this how you want to play it Lucy?""You tease me all the time. I figured I should do same to you." She laughed again."Very funny." He scoffed, but when she continued laughing he joined her."Admit it your highness, I scared you." Luciana said."Scared me? What is so scary about marrying you?""Uhm... your father and your kingdom mighty turn against you." Luciana said."I have already turned against my father. As for the kingdom, I don't think they will be able to stop me if I decide to marry someone, no matter who the person is.""I wonder how stubborn you would be as a child." Luciana said with a slight chuckle."Ironically, I was very obedient as a child. I would do every thing my father asked of me w

Dahlia's parents demanded to see the king and the queen the next morning. Mikael and Evelyn had to choice, but to meet with the Duke and the Duchess. They came to the throne room to meet the couple in a tensed mood, especially the Duchess whom can't seem to hide her worry, even a little bit.They wondered what was going on."Your majesty." The Duchess quickly rushed to Mikael, while her husband tried to hold her. "We can't find our daughter.""What?!""We woke up this morning and decided to check on her, but she was not in her room." The Duke explained."Maybe she just stepped out. Why did you assume that she's missing?"Dahlia's parents gave themselves glances. They both had the same thing in mind. How would they tell the king that they had an argument with their daughter the previous night, and that she was not interested in marrying the prince?But the Duchess was quick to think of something and gave an answer."We asked her maids where she went, and none of them knew, or the time

The king's eyes shot open when he felt the sharp pain in his heart, only to see his son piercing an arrow into his heart. A regular vampire will not die from just a simple arrow piercing their heart. Once they remove it, the vampire would be healed. Killing a pure blooded royal was a difficult thing to do. They were almost invincible. But what was with this arrow? What was this pain? He felt like his whole body was going numb, and he couldn't even fight back to remove the thing from his chest."Raz... Raziel." The king croaked. "What... are you... doing?""It could have been different. But you brought this upon yourself. I can't let you kill uncle and destroy his kingdom. That is mother's kingdom. But you do not care. Did you ever feel guilty about her death? If you weren't so power hungry and wanting to conquer the entire world, she wouldn't have died. Then I thought perhaps you would have learnt your lesson, but you only became worse."The king began to cough and Raziel pulled the
