The Shrewd King Chapter 100 - Vessels
“Moon Goddess vessel?” I ask. It sounds familiar but foreboding, and yet, I can’t call up any information about it in my head. I should know about it while I was Theo’s teacher, right? Or am I taking up time remembering my memories? Gezer continues, “If you take a look inside you, you will see that you are created together with the others. I am sure she devoured some of you. And when you reached a certain number of offspring with humans, you can no longer bear a child.” “I already know I can’t bear a child. I can get pregnant, but NOT bear a child,” I whisper. I haven’t talked with Theo about this. Gezer's eyes reddens. He looks me up and down as if he can see something that human eyes cannot. “You have been tampered with. The Moon Goddess will not like it,” he smirks. “How did you do that?” “Tampered? How can you perceive that?” “Vessels can identify each other. You should be able to identify me, too.” “How?” “By—” “Shut up now!” Klevon interrupts and points his sword at Gez
The Shrewd King Chapter 101 - Refittings
We stayed on the island for a few more days. It’s so we can clean up and bury the dead. We also need to preserve the destroyed village within the mountains, and to ensure that the three vampires won’t lose control of themselves. It’s already late afternoon when we reach the shore. Princess Kissa and the others are waiting outside. She runs to Theo’s embrace and smothers him with kisses. I look away. It still hurts seeing him holding another woman. I walk towards Ami and see that she’s wounded. “Hi Kaiya, how was the inside of the island?” “Crazy,” I reply. I kneel before her and check her wound. “You are being careless. You slipped on a rock?” “She did,” Elroy’s voice comes. “We were walking earlier on the other side of the beach, when she suddenly screams, and then, a thud.” “It was slippery!” Ami defends. “Flat foot,” he teases. “Oh, that’s a nice view. See the King and the Princess? They’re kissing a lot.” “Maybe we’ll hear some steamy sounds coming from their tent tonight
The Shrewd King Chapter 102 - Inanna, the Vampire Priestess
It’s dark already and the three vampires have become more energetic. They have been offering their help to the other warriors a lot. Although every time they did, warriors will squeal at their proximity. Tomorrow is our last day on this island. We are just finishing things up before we leave. They plan to make this place a Pitchford station, but since the plan is not yet final, Princess Kissa’s barrier around the island will do for now. I grunt when I hear Princess Kissa moaning and screaming again. I cover my ears. She should stop being a screamer every time she is in her climax. For the goddess’s sake, does she not get ashamed of it?! I’ve heard from Harbin the etiquettes of being a Princess, and this is not one of them! And damn that Theo! How dare he make her feel so good?! ‘Because you don’t want to be in his bed anymore,’ my mind answers. I shake my head at the frustrating thought. Thankfully, Inanna is approaching. As I spend more time with the vampires, I discover that the
The Shrewd King Chapter 103 - Fireworks
It’s already dark when everyone has boarded the ship. Ami is high-strung and edgy, so I know that something is up. “Aren’t we leaving now?” I ask Elroy when I see him holding a barrel of something. It smells like alcohol. “Where are you going to bring that?” “The King decided to ah—stay for another night,” he stutters. “Why are you nervous?” Then, the smell of alcohol is overpowered by the smell of lavender. I turn to look at Theo before he calls my name. I bow my head at him–something he didn’t like me doing. “What are you doing here, my King?” I ask. I glance at Elroy and he is already scurrying away from us. “It’s night already. Shouldn’t you be with Princess Kissa? Or do you need me to guard you for tonight?” He takes my hands and pushes a couple of white flowers on them. “For you,” he says. I look at it. “Lily,” I whisper. Its six petals are gleaming and its reddish-brown anthers are still noticeable even with only the night lamps. “Casa Blanca Lily. You can smell it.
The Shrewd King Chapter 104 - Recrudesce
The sea is a symphony. It is a poem of cries and noises and the screaming of gulls and whales. With just its sound, I know we are close to the shore. I close my eyes and take in a deep breath. There is a swirl of sour and sweet smells. I smile. It’s wonderful and, at the same time, terrifying. Werewolves are not meant to be at sea. We should be in the forest, running across the shade of the trees. I open my eyes. There’s still sea for miles, even if I know we will arrive soon–probably tonight. But in the meantime, I will enjoy this scenery, where the sky and sea meet, as if they belong to the same realm. Ami drapes her arms on my shoulders and remarks, “Are you sure that one glass of alcohol is enough for you?” “Yes,” I answer. We turn our attention toward the center of the deck where a long wooden table is erected. The warriors are resting under the sunshades while others are huddled around one end of the table. But some loud ones are laughing and bumping fists with each other e
The Shrewd King Chapter 105 - Queen of the Night
It was late in the night when we arrived in Pitchford. Thankfully, they give all the warriors involved in the expeditions a day of leave. And the next day, after a quick exercise with the other warriors, I find an evening dress on top of my bed which has roses scattered around it. Same as Theo, it smells like lavender and has a clean, sweet smell. Other than the roses on top of my bed, they also carved the same type of flowers on the edges of the white fabric. I move towards it and let my fingers run through it. It’s silky smooth and cool to the touch. On closer inspection, the roses in it look real and is a lighter shade of red. “That’s a lovely dress,” Harbin comments when we encounter each other towards the dance hall. “Is it from the King?” I nod. “I found it in my room earlier this morning.” Harbin shakes his head. “He certainly knows how to sweeten up a girl. He’s looking for your forgiveness, is he?” I blush at his words, and then I hit myself. Harbin laughs at my reactio
The Shrewd King Chapter 106 - Pursuit
I am about to open the door when Theo catches my hands. He grabs me around the waist and spins me around, crushing his lips to mine with a fiery intensity. I can feel the passionate longing emanating from him, the desperation to keep me close, as our kiss deepens, sending warmth radiating throughout my body. And yet, even if I am overwhelmed with a deep longing, there is a sense of dread inside. I want to stay in this moment and prolong this, but I know I can’t, so I push against his chest. “What are you doing here, my King?” I ask, panicking at the same time. He presses his lips against mine again in an unbridled display of affection. I feel a wave of pleasure course through my body. “Kaiya, be mine again,” he whispers, his hands cupping my cheeks. “I–” He leans towards me again, and his lips fervently caress mine. His kiss is deep and violent, further stirring up the passion inside. “Stop!” I complain and push against him. He hits the wall in front of us, yet our shared heat
The Shrewd King Chapter 107 - Appeal
The evening after, I move towards the rendezvous point given by Theo. It is close to the castle and densely wooded. I turn my gaze to the castle. It's an enormous structure rising toward the night sky, surrounded by a tall wall, and a line of guards walking its perimeter. It is a perfect place for the three vampires to guard during the night. Right now, I am nervous as I stand waiting for him. I know that I need to do this—things would be harder if I didn't. Yet, I can't shake the feeling of anxiety as my meeting with him looms ever closer. “Kaiya.” I spin around at the sound of the familiar voice and smile awkwardly at him. Theo is dressed in casual clothes, which surprises me. He wears a short-sleeve shirt that reveals his toned chest and a pair of dark blue pants that fit him perfectly. He really is an attractive king. My heart skips a beat, and I shake my head. I am in trouble. He strides towards me, and I notice he is also armed with two swords on his back. “What’s with the
