This is her fourth day in this room and that blue-eyed man never comes back since the last time that he visited her in this room. She shrugged her shoulders. Although he finds the man gorgeous, her purpose for coming here is their King, not him.
While thinking about what to do in case the blue-eyed man will try to kill her, she heard some knocks on the door. It is the middle-aged woman again.
“Mademoiselle, you have to be ready. Please freshen up. In a while, our beautician will be coming in to prepare you for a big event.” She said while smiling then excused herself from her thereafter.
Asalea wondered what event the woman was referring to and why she needed to attend it. Nonetheless, she followed the woman’s advice and took a quick shower.
She was drying up her blond long curly hair when the beautician arrived. She is a young woman with a colorful face and fingernails.
“Are you ready to be the most beautiful woman tonight?” the beautician admiringly looking at her asked.
Asalea just shrugged off and took her seat in front of the mirror.
She closed her mouth and decided not to talk while the beautician was fixing her hairdo. After giving her hair queen hair-like style and adornment, the beautician followed by doing her make-up. Asalea remained silent. She does not want to ask. She will just go with the flow.
“Gosh, you are perfect!” The beautician’s eyes are glowing in delight while looking at her.
“Finished?” Asalea asked.
“Yes, yes. The fashion designer will be coming next to bring your gown Madam.” She smiled and after giving her a last glance, she hurriedly walked out of the room.
Asalea looked at her face in the mirror. Indeed, she is beautiful. The hairdo really fits her facial shape and the make-up truly enhanced her beauty.
She heard another knock on the door and thereafter a tall pretty lady with a black long gown in her hand and a paper bag came inside the room.
“She must be the fashion designer,” Asalea murmured.
The fashion designer looked at her and nodded approvingly of what she saw.
“It’s time to wear your gown Madam. Here it is.” The fashion designer came near and unzipped the back of the elegant black long serpentine tube-style gown. The upper part of the gown is adorned with black diamonds. They are flashing when lights are hitting them.
“Wow, this is beautiful,” Asalea exclaimed when the dress fitted her body well.
“Because you are so beautiful Madam. By wearing this dress, you made it more beautiful and elegant.” She clapped her hands in full satisfaction then got a shoebox inside the paper bag and a jewelry box.
The fashion designer asked Asalea to sit down so that she can put on her high-heeled shoes to her feet. She put next to a pair of red diamond necklace and earrings to Asalea.
“Relax and wait here Madam, someone will pick you up and guide you to the event venue.” Then the jolly fashion designer left with a smile on her face.

Asalea looked at her whole reflection in the full-length mirror inside the room. Looking at herself, she is thankful that she got both the features of her Mom and Dad. The combination of her parents’ lovely features made her an almost perfect creation.
When she heard another knock, her heartbeat fast. She did not know what would be next. Would it be her death or freedom? She is however prepared to fight just in case. She will do her best to escape.
A young man in his Armani suit entered the room and asked her to follow him. He has a paper bag in his right hand.
“Where are we going?” she was not able to control herself to ask.
“Just follow me Madam; we are going to the Palace’s Astrodome, which is just nearby.” He said while walking fast.
They entered the wide astrodome as told by the man who fetched her. It is somewhat dark. The only light that intrudes its darkness is some torches put in every corner of the Astrodome and many in front, where a man wearing a black robe like a priest is standing beside the altar. He is holding a black book. She knows that it is the Vampires’ hallowed book.
Asalea’s eyes narrowed. She can guess that an event is a wedding event. So, she will be attending a wedding occasion. “Whose wedding is this?” she asked the man who fetched her.
“Yours Madam.” He said and then got something inside the paper bag. “Please wear this,” the man said again, handing her a black veil with a tiara in it, beautifully adorned with black diamonds.
“What did you say?!” Asalea gasped in surprise.
“This is your wedding Madam.” The young man repeated her prior statement.
“Who shall I be marrying?” with narrowed eyes, Asalea asked again.
“You will know later on. Please be ready Madam. The wedding march will start.” Then the man stepped aside and motioned her to walk forward when the wedding march song started to fill the whole astrodome.
Asalea does not know if she will follow or will make herself invisible and run. She chose the first. She knows that she will be dead if she runs. At least they will not kill her. Looking at her gown, her veil with tiara, and the venue of the wedding, she knows she will be marrying someone of a high profile from the Glodeous Kingdom. She can still start her life here and then plan for her revenge later on against the Ecleteon werewolves.
With chin held up, Asalea made her graceful walk going to the altar. Getting nearer the altar, she saw the back of a man standing in front, beside the first row of chairs. He is the only one standing in that place. The rest of the vampires are seated on chairs, two rows before the chair, where the man is standing beside them.
Asalea surmised that he might be her groom. “Hmm, not bad,” she murmured.
Slowly the man turned his back and faced her when she was already walking almost beside him.
Asalea’s eyes grew big when she recognized the man.
“Hello, my pretty vampy.” He whispered and intensely looked at her with his ocean-like, deep blue eyes.
IAsalea’s feet felt frozen. She stood in front of her groom stunned. Her eyes grew wide with surprise and amazement. “You?! Why would I marry you? I am here to marry the King. Can’t you understand that?” she murmured in an angry tone.“I can clearly understand that, that is why you are marrying me now.” His smile is so mystical.The man wearing a black robe like a priest and holding the vampire’s hallowed book, started to hum the devil’s song while slowly raising up the book he is holding. His head is up and his eyes are closed.“Hail to the King of Glodeous and to his lovely bride!” suddenly the priest said in a loud voice. All the sitting vampires stood up and vow their heads then simultaneously said, “Hail to the King of Glodeous and to his lovely bride!”Asalea’s forehead furrowed when she heard what the priest and all vampires had said. With furrowed forehead,
IAs Queen Asalea woke up the next day, the first thing she looked for was her King husband. Fortunately, he was still lying next to her.She just thought everything had been a dream. But waking up beside her husband made her totally come to her senses that indeed everything has been real. She is now married to the Vampire King of Glodeous and the declared new Queen of the Kingdom of Glodeous.“Good morning pretty vampy.” King Timodore’s deep blue eyes danced with naughtiness as he playfully looked at his wife Asalea.Asalea covered her face with her left arm and fully sheltered her body with their black blanket.“What are you ashamed of, wife? Last night you were comfortable moaning underneath me,” He said teasingly.“Shut up King Timodore. You owe me big time for setting me up to that marriage
IQueen Asalea runs as fast as she could. As a lady vampire, she runs five times faster than an ordinary woman. The werewolves however could also run as fast as she can. They are almost at the same pace.Good thing Queen Asalea saw a big tree. Without thinking further, she jumped to the highest level and settled herself at the big branch on top of the tree.The six werewolves down the tree growled in anger. Queen Asalea smiled. This tree is her savior. However, not unless these six werewolves would go away, she cannot go down from this tree. Minding that it’s almost dark, she was able to relax. These werewolves would go once the night is deep already.Ten minutes later, Queen Asalea felt relieved when she saw her King husband together with around ten of his men. They all stopped near the werewolves who were surprised by their arrival. The werewolves tried to fight but in the end, three of them died and the remaining three, who are still alive yet in
IThe next day, Asalea woke up without her husband beside her anymore. Immediately, she refreshed herself and went out of their room. She went directly to their dining area and saw their head chef.“Have you seen my King husband Chef? Did he eat breakfast already?”“He was here a while ago, Queen Lea but he only ate a little,” the chef replied.She nodded and left upon saying thank you to their chef.She tried looking for him at his office, but he was not there also. She went next to his throne, but no one was sitting there. She looked for Dreckos but she could not find him inside the palace too.Without any other recourse, she asked the guard at the palace door. “Have you seen the King?”The palace guard nodded. “They are putting some warning devices around the palace, Queen Lea, so that we will all be alarmed in case of an attack from enemies.”“I see. Thank you for the in
IKing Timodore caressed the back of his wife. “We are ready in case werewolves will attack us. Don’t worry my wife, we will all be safe.” He assured her to ease her fears.Queen Asalea shot her husband with a pacified look and nodded. “I will trust in you, my King.” Then she moved nearer to his body and sleep again.King Timodore kissed her wife’s head tenderly before closing his eyes to claim that deepest slumber in his life.The next morning, while walking in the palace’s corridor, Queen Asalea met two young ladies who seemed familiar with her. The two ladies also glanced at her and with wide eyes pointed their fingers at her.“We know you!” simultaneously the two young vampires exclaimed.“I don’t remember we met already.” Asalea pretended not to remember the two women.“Oh come on, you were one of the salesladies of that hot boutique in town.” Wit
IKing Timodore could not remove from his mind Queen Lea’s anger towards the Ecleteon Werewolves. Is there something that her Queen is hiding from him that he ought to know? He does not want to doubt his wife but he could not avoid it. He wanted to find out whatever is being hidden from him by his Queen as he wanted to fully protect her.Queen Asalea while lying on their bed is in her deep thoughts. How can she make amends to King Timodore for lying to him? How could he tell him that her true name is Asalea and not Lea and that she is the only heir to the throne of the fallen Knostican Kingdom that has been besieged and trampled down in the end by the Ecleteon Werewolves? What if he will come to realize that her purpose for coming in his Kingdom to wed him was to use him against the Ecleteons in her pursuit for her revenge? Would he be still the same in giving her the care and affection that she is experiencing from him now?Asalea is regretting now for ly
IKing Timodore suddenly felt a fang in his heart. Immediately, his wife’s face shows into his inner thoughts. He shook his head several times. His wife is safe inside the secret underground room.They readied as they heard the loud growl of one Ecleteon Werewolf. They have a hint that it was already the Ecleteon King’s signal, for his pack to attack them.Upon that loud growl of their King Burkano, all the Ecleteon Werewolves pauses to make their highest jumps in order to get inside the Glodeous Palace.Simultaneously then, the Ecleteon Werewolves jumped! However, before they could surpass the Palace’s fence, their growls of pain have been heard all over the place. Thereafter, it can be seen that parts of their bodies were scattered everywhere.King Burkano immediately looked at his werewolves’ flying bodies and was in total shocked of what he witnessed.That was the most opportune time that Princess Asalea was
IThe first thing that Queen Asalea saw when she opened her eyes was the black wall in front of her. She recognized the place instantly. She is in their bedroom. She tried to recall what happened during the attack of the Ecleteon Werewolves and her eyes instantaneously grew wide. Where is her husband? She struggled to wake up but upon hitting the floor, her feet ran swiftly out of the room. She needed to find her husband.Her feet brought her to the living room where she found her husband talking to Dreckos. Both men turned their faces to her when they heard her, called on the name of King Timodore.“Wife, are you okay now?” King Timodore hurriedly approached Queen Asalea and hugged her. She hugged him back.“I was afraid when I walked up and found you not beside me.” She said looking at her husband with a twinge of fear in her eyes.“I am perfectly fine, my Queen. Don’t worry, all the Ecleteon Werewolves w
