"Why do you feel it is wrong for a human to head the supernaturals?" Luciana asked the vampire man next to her, who introduced himself as Terrence. They were taking a break after working for a while."Humans have always been the most primitive beings among us all." Terrence replied. "You have no strength, no speed, you age fast, you die young, eventually you do not stay long enough to do anything that matters.""That's a really poor mentality you have there Terrence." She told him, and he tried his best to hide his frown. "Do you know why humans do not really contribute much to the society?""I just told you.""That's why I said your mentality is poor. It is because they are not given the chance to do anything, because of people that think like you." Luciana told him calmly. "I should give you an example. Do you know why I am here today?""Because the prince brought you here.""The prince brought me here because I was able to create something you have not dreamt of doing. How many tim
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
The next morning, Dahlia banged at Raziel's room door a few times before the prince opened it for her."I thought as future Duchess, you'd be taught some manners." Raziel said, frowning at her."I heard from one of your servants that we will be getting married in three days. In fact your king was the one who asked her to tell me that." Dahlia said, fuming. But the annoying prince was still very calm."Then you should be confronting him not me." Raziel told her. Dahlia narrowed her gaze at him suspiciously. "Be honest with me prince Raziel. Are you in love with me?""What?!""Because that is the only logical explanation as to why you are not freaking out right now. I don't want to be tied to you in marriage for my parent's selfish reason.""You have repeated that over and over again. I said I am not getting married to you.""What are you going to do that day? Standing me up in front of everyone like you did your new queen?" She couldn't help but chuckle a little as she thought of that
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
Evelyn thought the name was familiar, but she could remember exactly who. Maybe the person was not important enough for her to remember."You should go ask Raziel." Evelyn suggested, but the king looked thoughtful."This is not the document here before. He changed it, and replaced it with a very similar one. The real one had Dahlia's name, and this one has this Luciana. When and how did he change it?" The king asked in confusion."I am not sure. He came here a few days ago. I think the day before the day we got that fake invitation from Woodrow." Evelyn said. "I think he wanted to do something here, but he left when he saw me in here.""That explains it. Raziel was the one behind the fake invitation. Only I don't understand how he managed to get their stamp. Maybe he has an insider.""Or maybe it is Dahlia." Evelyn said with a roll of her eyes."Why do you think so?" The king curiously asked."She is the insider. She would definitely have people inside that would help her steal the sta
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
"How are you sure it was the people of Kazeera that sneaked into the castle and killed the king. And why would you even blame them? Not like they have anything against our kingdom." One man who was a Marque stood up to say. "And your majesty, don't you think it is wrong to sit on the king's throne when he just died?""I know it was them as they would want to avenge their king that is held hostage by us." Evelyn replied the marque in anger. "And the ruler of the kingdom just died. The kingdom would not be left without a head. I choose to step in.""The king of Kazeera is held hostage? For what reason?" Another person spoke up, seemingly not pleased with the information. "And your majesty, that is not how a new ruler is chosen.""How do you think Durville grew to be so prosperous? We is in our nature to take things and make them ours." Evelyn explained. "And you don't tell me what to do. I choose to be the new ruler. You all should be appreciating me. One more word of protest, you shall
Luciana stared at the prince like he said something a crazy person would say. Or perhaps he was crazy. Or maybe she heard him wrong. She decided to ask again."What did you say?""I said we are married Lucy."She laughed nervously. She would have believed it to be a joke, but he didn't seem like he was in the mood to throw jokes.She then realized something."That's what you gave me to sign.""Yes. That was our marriage certificate." Raziel said, and Luciana looked dumbfounded.She tapped her forehead with her fingers as if driving away an incoming headache. She took in a sharp intake of breath."What in the world made you marry me without my consent?" She drawled calmly. It even sounded strange to her. She was married?"Don't worry, It can be reversed." Prince Raziel said."Why would you even do that without informing me, without my permission?""Calm down Lucy. I need it to be king. An unmarried man cannot be crowned king." He informed her. He then held her arms. "Listen Lucy, you d
