"You can see now, so why do you still carry that walking stick with you?". I heard this and clenched my fist."It seems Alpha has forgotten this jade is not only a walking stick but also a weapon, how can I throw something so useful away?". I said and lowered my head not wanting to see his face. How could he ask something like that? This is the only gift I have received from him, how could I possibly throw it away... How annoying!He didn't say a word again so I kept quiet and enjoyed the silence. "Dinner is ready". Mom yelled from the kitchen and I stood up to help her set the table. "Mushroom brunch, Mac n cheese, and your favorite lamb meatballs with roasted carrots dig in". She said excitedly and sat down.I looked at the filled-up table and lowered my head, I just couldn't help but think, 'What if I didn't regain my sight? Will I be able to sit here and have dinner with them? Would he even spare me a glance?'. My head throbbed at this question."What is wrong with you two!". M
ETHAN'S POVVampire EmpireWe arrived right in front of the Empire, I immediately noticed something was wrong so I quietly headed to the guard's workoutroom."Your Highness, what happened? What are we doing here?". Natalie asked."Keep it down, can't you see everything has changed, even the guards at the gate have been replaced with Zeke's men". I replied before looking at the four guards with us."You should head back and join the army, they won't notice you were with me as long as you don't say a word". I said calmly but to my surprise they refused."Your Highness, we don't care, we shall stay with you!". Their voice echoed in the room."Yes your Highness, we don't mind what danger awaits, we will stay with you". Natalie added.I rubbed my temples before saying, "The reign has changed, Zeke is in charge now, I'm sure all he wants is my head! Staying with me won't do you any good, if you return to the army it will. Make things easier for everyone". "We understand Your Highness". They
knock!! knock!!"Who is it?". Maxwell answered. "Physician Maxwell, you have been summoned to the palace to check on His Majesty". The guard said." I almost forgot_". Maxwell muttered before replying to the guard, " Alright I will head there immediately". The guard left and an idea popped up in my head."I have a plan". I said."Do tell your Highness". Maxwell replied as he put on his Physician uniform."You have tons of artifacts right? Then you must have something that can change one's appearance, I will go to the palace with you as your assistant!", I explained."That is way too dangerous!". Mom immediately refused this idea."That is the only option we have, for two days I will need to stay with him to protect him so that you will be able to make the antidote". I faced Maxwell."Yes, your Highness". Maxwell replied before turning to Mom."Let me send you back Highness". He brought out the mirror and opened up a portal."Natalie, it's best you go with Mom". I turned to Natalie."
"I will go get the cure your Highness, but I will need my assistant to stay with His Majesty to ensure a stable condition". Maxwell said."Alright!". Zeke's Mom said but Zeke refuted it immediately,"No Mom!". "What do you mean no?". She asked him with a confused expression on her face, it was then I realized she didn't want Nicholas dead."Why would a mere servant get to stay with his Majesty?! Mom, think of what will happen if the word gets out, Father would be ridiculed". Zeke said."But_". Maxwell was about to speak but I signalled for him to keep quiet."That's right but_". Zeke's Mom said worriedly before Zeke cut in,"Don't worry Mom, I will keep checking on Father okay?". He assured and I internally rolled my eyes. "Alright". Zeke's Mom nodded before turning to Maxwell, "Go get the cure, I will be expecting you after a week, worry not I will reward you greatly!". She said making the other physicians jealous.Maxwell smiled and bowed, "Thank you, your Highness, I won't disapp
I went silent for a while and he said, "I would love to take your silence as a yes again...but then again it is not possible ". He then proceeded to sleep.I gritted my teeth and said, "You have not answered my question "."Hold on_ You are serious about this!". Maxwell said in shock and sat down."I want to awaken my wolf, Maxwell, tell me how". I said almost like I was pleading."You how hard we tried to activate just one side of your blood then, I have no idea how to awaken the wolf of a hybrid like you... But the old friend I told you about at Blood Moon pack, I'm sure she will be able to help you". Maxwell said and I sighed."Do you have a mate?", I asked him."No... I have not found her yet, but then again how can I find her when I'm in this empire filled with filthy vampires". Maxwell said and I could feel the pure disgust in his voice."Then what does it feel like to meet your mate?", I asked.Maxwell chuckled nervously before saying, "I don't have a mate I have not experience
Then why are you crying?". Ruby asked and I turned away from her to wipe my eyes."I'm not crying... Something just flew into my eyes", I said with a smile.Ruby didn't say anything even though she understood everything, she just nodded and said, "My lady I will go prepare your bath"."Sure", I nodded and replied and she left carrying the box in her hands.ETHAN'S POV6:00 AMI put on the servant uniform and the mermaid necklace with a smile on my face, I just can't wait to see her... I just hope there will be time to take this camouflage off."Your Highness, Should we get going?", Maxwell asked as he put on his brown bag."Yes", I replied but then the door suddenly opened and Natalie came in."Natalie?! Why are you here?", I asked."Greetings your Highness, Her Highness sent me here to give you this...", She said and brought out a white envelope. I collected it and examined it, seeing the paper was empty I understood Mother used the secret paper coated in milk to hide the content
I couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration for my little goddess. Despite the challenges she faced, she remained strong and determined, earning the respect of those around her through her courage and skill. I couldn't wait to see her and let her know how much I admired and missed her.We continued our journey towards the North Wing, the anticipation building with each step.Finally, we arrived at the entrance to the North Wing and I noticed the subtle change in the environment, the air got thicker making it hard to breathe, if I had not put on this disguise I could have passed through it easily but now I'm just a weak vampire.Maxwell brought out a yellow stone from his bag and the thick air dispersed revealing a different world. We were welcomed by a woman with kind eyes and a warm smile. She bowed respectfully to Maxwell before addressing him."Welcome, Rinn Maxwell. The great witch Agatha is expecting you. Please come in." She then led us to a cottage.Maxwell nodded and steppe
"I'm sorry my little flower 'sniff' I just can't help it 'sniff', I feel like a huge rock has been lifted off my chest". Aunt Agatha said and my expression changed."Why are you saying this Aunt? It's not like you are the one who made me blind in the first place ". I said to comfort her but unexpectedly her body immediately went stiff and she withdrew her hands from mine.Seeing the dreadful expression on everyone's face I asked, "What is wrong?".Aunt Jasmine patted my hands as if telling me to calm down but I can't because I don't understand what is happening! I don't understand why Aunt Agatha and everyone is acting so strange."Agatha, don't hide it from her any longer, let it all out". Aunt Jasmine said and I turned to her, "Tell me what? What are you all saying? What is going on?!". I yelled frustrated. I'm sorry for keeping you in the dark all this time after I tell you this if you end up hating me it's fine... I'll gladly accept it, just don't start too far from me okay, you k
