royal clanKyrian wiped Ilyana's lips with a white napkin. Lifting the girl from the chair, the young man threw back blond strands of hair over his shoulders, running his hand over silky, pale skin. Now the vampire kept his toy in a small room, whose windows were covered with a heavy curtain - the Lord wanted to create an unnaturally pale shade of the girl’s skin. So Ilyana will look like an angel descended from heaven, and vampires will look next to her as creatures close to God, not frightening with their pallor.-You are so beautiful, my love. - Kirian gently kissed the girl on the cheek and turned to the door.- You can start.The maids entered the room. Two girls took Ilyana to the bath, the rest prepared clothes and hair clips. The saint was being preened for her next appearance in public - this time in a distant town on the border with Norfwuld. Maybelline was rarely visited by inquisitors, and each of their visits, as a rule, was accompanied by human sacrifices in the name of

“You don’t dare touch her,” the creature hissed.- How dare I! - the tip touched the thin throat, and a trickle of blood flowed from under it.The creature hissed threateningly, and Tristan pressed harder.- Alright I will say! She got me drunk. She awakened and submitted to me. From now on I exist, and she is no more! – the creature laughed loudly.“I don’t believe you,” Tristan stated coldly and hit the girl on the head with the hilt of his sword.Ira's body went limp.- What are you doing? – the paladin gasped in indignation.- What, what? Need to come up with something! - Tristan picked up the limp body, gently pressing the girl to his chest. - This creature will not let us think. And there’s no way to get her to the cave at all! - The blond looked with annoyance at the abrasion on his beloved’s face and reminded himself that in a couple of minutes everything would heal.At the exit from the valley, the cheerful Belian caught up with the alarmed friends. The mare rushed along the

Ira slept soundly. Tristan watched his beloved's serene face with a deep sense of tenderness. Many thoughts wandered through his head. The Oracle was right - the Chosen One did change him. Allowed my cold heart to melt. Accept yourself as you should be, and not as you have become due to the circumstances of fate. Now Tristan seemed stupid to himself. And what was he afraid of? Bitterness of loss? It could hardly be better than the life of a loner - not because he wanted to be alone, but because he was afraid of becoming attached to someone.Tristan ran his hand through Ira's tousled hair. He will not have another night like this, another such beloved one.This is worth living for.- Tristan? - the girl had not yet opened her eyes, but felt the touch.- Yes, my love? - the lord responded.Ira opened one eye, looked at the blond for a long time and, embarrassed, closed her eyes and lowered her head. Tristan smiled. Taking the girl by the chin, the vampire pulled her face to his and kiss

- Didn’t Selena tell you anything interesting? - Ignoring the pain, Vragenn grinned.Tristan frowned, stepping aside.“Our conversations are none of your business,” the blond snapped.The brass knuckles came together with a ringing sound, but now the Lord was more careful, and his furious attacks drove Tristan in a circle. The advisors watching the duel and Telvisina, who was held by Alter’s elbow, held their breath every time it seemed to them that one of the duelists had managed to break through the opponent’s defense.Tristan began to get tired. The Lord was clearly in shape thanks to the fact that he constantly drank human blood - Tristan did not have this privilege. From the powerful attacks of his opponent, his right hand, gripping the rest of the brass knuckles, went numb from tension. But what irritated the lord most of all was the satisfied grin on the king’s face. What was this creature up to?“Apparently, your goddess did not consider you worthy of the truth, Tristan,” Vrag

“No,” William said coldly. “There will be no more mercy for people like you.” - And with these words he pushed the Chosen One out the window. Kirian tried to grab the curtains, but under his weight they broke from their hinges, and he fell out of the window. The adviser pulled the blade out in time so that it would not fall off along with the body.The final, desperate cry of the Chosen One cut through the sky...William fell to his knees, exhausted. The pleasant heaviness of the wings was soothing, but he spent a lot of energy manipulating them. And he still needs to take the Saint away from here. Someone might have noticed the “fascinating” flight of the Chosen One. My hands trembled treacherously. Her hair, tied in a bun for convenience, had become disheveled and strands had bunched up around her face. William straightened his hair, allowing himself a moment of respite. Rising to his feet, the young man wiped the blood from the sword and returned it to its sheath.William turned to

Tristan did not dare to go to Vragenn for a long time. He could not understand why the goddess did not dare to reveal the secret of his past? After all, then Vragenn would be dead and the war would be over. These thoughts came again and again, and each time Tristan sighed, realizing that Selena probably had her reasons for such an act.The blond admired the sleeping Ira. Recently, his beloved had been working a lot and was very tired. Now the girl was sleeping peacefully, although the sun was just setting towards the horizon. The sunset rays cast sharp shadows on her face, making her features more mature. Tristan leaned down and gently touched Ira's cheek with his lips.“I’ll be back soon,” the vampire whispered.The corners of the Chosen One’s lips twitched - she heard her lover’s voice. Tristan stood up decisively and headed to the stable. If he is lucky, he will have time to find out the long-awaited truth and return before dawn, killing Vragenn. Then Ira won't have to worry about

The girl turned to the king. A sharp blade immediately appeared at her throat. Alter's face was gloomy and concentrated.“How wild you are, my girl,” Vragenn purred. - But we've had enough fun. Now you will have to obey me! - the king leaned forward and looked intently at the girl, using his rank as Overlord to crush Aira’s will and force her to obey.- Burn in eternal flame, bastard! I will never bow before you! - Ira leaned forward, clenching her fists forcefully. The smell of blood awakened the beast in her, bestowing terrifying power. Now she could tear everyone present into pieces without much effort.The Lord leaned back and smiled. He still failed to subjugate the girl. He was not mistaken in sensing the hidden Power in Ira. It was her that he had been looking for since he heard his sister's prediction. And if the king cannot conquer the girl in the usual way, he will have to resort to cunning.- You're right. “I have no power over you,” Vragenn spoke defeated, but the expressi

royal clanThe royal apartments consisted of a series of rooms. Vladyka walked through a small hallway and opened the doors to a huge bedroom. Gesturing Ira to enter, the king grabbed two glasses, filled them with wine and handed one of them to the girl. Sitting down on a chair upholstered in red velvet, the vampire crossed his legs and took a sip of wine. Ira remained standing with a glass in her hand, without touching the treat.- I thought you were dead. - Vragenn finally stated. - And I'm glad that's not the case.Without waiting for any reaction from Ira, the king continued:- This may sound strange, but I missed you. Those nights that we shared... you are so passionate...Ira pursed her lips. Her breath hitched with indignation. But the girl continued to silently glare at the Lord with a hateful gaze.- Yes, you really are the Chosen One. Even Kyrian cannot reject my control, and you do it with ease, as if I were not your creator at all.The vampire drained his glass and put it
