★★★ Gabriel was called by Ser Reth to take care of an errand where he got stuck. So, Elsa decided to meet Johana and Rihana as she was restless since last night. Today, the palace seemed deserted. Her eyes wandered, and she found a few people around except the maids and servants, who bowed to Elsa as she crossed the path with them. Gabriel kept his promise for as long as she could remember. Before marriage, he will annihilate all the enemies, and he did this to save her. Elsa didn’t know if she did the right thing, but her heart found a comfortable place where the fear of her parents being harmed by vampires was gone forever. She went into the quarters where the maidservants lived, passing rooms where the unprepared maidservants panicked at the sight of their queen in their quarters. They bowed down one by one, not caring about their appearance, and Elsa was not bothered by their unprepared looks. Calling over one of the maids, she asked where Johana and Rihana were, as she entered
★★★ Everyone, including Gabriel, was present in the library late at night regarding the case of Klaus being hanged in the morning. Gabriel’s entire family was gone, except for Klaus’ son, Mathew, who was in hiding. But Gabriel didn’t have much interest in Matthew, who didn’t dare to cause harm, especially with no backup from his father or anyone. “Your Grace, Werewolves did come to Stone Village but did not harm anyone, except destroy their houses,” Jonathan said and went to pick up an old wine glass offered by Gabriel. Tomorrow was a big day for Gabriel. He was going to get married, completely inconceivable to anyone who knew this vampire. At first, Jonathan even held the idea that Gabriel was infatuated with a girl, surely a vicious plan was brewing in his dark heart, but Gabriel showed him how to devote himself to a girl. He brought up a soft cushion whenever there was a moment to keep Elsa safe. Jonathan was happy for his friends and grateful to the woman who had introduced this
★★★ “Where is she?” Gabriel repeated menacingly, ripping the veil off Elsa, who turned blue for lacking breath. A negligible amount of blood came out from her, but it didn’t nudge Gabriel from his insanity. His grip was about to crush the soft bone of her throat. Elsa, who was in a pitiful state, suddenly smiled. She clicked her tongue before sweeping the blood away with her tongue and said, “Such a handsome king. Kiss me to complete the marriage.” Gabriel bared his fangs and pummeled her on the ground. Everything had happened in a nick when others were left their seats to apprehend what they were here for. At that moment, Elsa, who was on the ground, kicked Gabriel in his face and then swung her body up like a fly and retreated a couple of steps. “You are such a prize, my king. I was dreaming since yesterday about how you make me scream on the bed,” said Elsa with a smile then ripped off her forgery look to be in what she was. “I’ll burn you screaming on the bed if you don’t tel
★★★★“Mother, father,” Elsa cried out, jerking her hand and feet to break free when two other witches threw her parents on the ground who seemed to be tortured by them.“What have you done to them? Untie me,” shouted Elsa with welling tears in her eyes. Feeling edged, seeing the wounds on her parents was crashing her soul. How inhumanly they had beaten, Elsa could not accept.“They are not dead, might wake up in a while. Stop forcing your tears to be dramatic. I thought you are aware of yourself is not a human child. Neither do they be your parents,” Verada said, pacing back and forth in front of Elsa. She wasn’t lying about how curious she was, not noticing the strange appearance of the woman who was called a witch.The first glimpse of Elsa made her suspicious, but then touching the energy of her body, it didn’t take her long to understand that Elsa was a reincarnated witch.“I don’t care about your words. Get my parents out of here. They are innocent and showed you kindness, t
★★★“Still as proud as your bitch mother. Hah!! Father found out early and cast your mother out and left her to die in the woods,” Samuel mocked Gabriel, intending to trigger his heart before tearing his body to pieces.“Yep, and then slept with a whore to produce a bastard,” said Gabriel with a laugh, his word too cruel to bear that stung straight Samuel’s skin and failed to hold back his beast.His body twisted and crouched to the ground, the countenance slowly took the form of a dog with big canines, and next, the body transformed painfully into an enormous wolf. The howl roared in the sky, the sharp nails dug into the ground that could make a hole into a human body. Samuel’s golden eyes looked at Gabriel and opened his big mouth to let him see what a threat looked like.“Let’s begin,” muttered Gabriel and flew at the werewolf. So did Samuel. His jaw was about to engulf Gabriel’s head but was grabbed by the throat and forced to sit.Gabriel released his throat to grab the two
★★★★ Gabriel punched the wolf on its jaw, and the fire on his hand intensified as his anger thrived bigger because he wanted to reach for Elsa before she met another cataclysm. He couldn't lose her as long as he was alive. Harris leaped over a tree to land right over Gabriel's shoulder. Jaws were open and reaching for Gabriel's head to end the fight. The time had come to ignite the fire of revenge he had been seeking since his parents were killed by him. The wolf snarled, but before it could do the job, its mouth was caught by Gabriel with both hands in the air. “You have done a great drama. Now I will rip these jaws off your face and hang them on the palace wall.” Gabriel tried with all his might to yank those jaws off as he pulled them wide, as much as Harris was trying to withdraw himself, but then suddenly Gabriel split both jaws with one blow. And the wolf fell to the ground with broken jaws, panting its last breath. ★ Elsa saw the witch who had assumed her true form, the c
★★★★Five days later;The cue of rays broke the entrance to come inside, giving a new wad of hope, telling someone it was time for her to wake.Birds warbled near the window, and a fresh smell of freesia swam in the room. The sleeping beauty groaned in her sleep, trembling lashes moved to unfurl for the daylight she had seen after five days.Her parched throat gulped the saliva before trying to ask for the water. Wandering her head, she noticed the silver water mug and a small glass on the table at the side of the bed. She was thrusting to drink but got no one in the room. Hence, she pushed her body up with both hands dipped down on the bed.Elsa extended her hand to grab the glass first. Suddenly the door in her room pushed open, and he entered. The feeling was distinct but uncontrollable, at the same time, it cut the forlornness into joy.Gabriel stopped on his way and felt the trepidation in his heart to go there. He was finding it hard to swallow that she had finally opened
★★★A few hours later, Elsa got into a carriage alone that had been arranged by Gabriel. Johana and Rihana mentioned their wishes to go with her lady as they feared her falling ill. But Elsa politely rejected their offer, telling them she wanted to be alone with her parents.The carriage's wheels rolled forward, leaving worried maidservants behind. They couldn't help but moved their feet along with the carriage. They stopped when the carriage disappeared from their sight.“Don't you want to go with her?” Jonathan spoke, looking at Gabriel's back, who was staring at the moving carriage that left the palace gate. He was silent and unmoved that was not the sight Jonathan had expected after watching him mad for the last five days. He didn't eat, drink, and barely talked to people until today.“Hmm! If she called me,” Gabriel answered, and turned the other way off the balcony.★★Elsa reached the cemetery with flowers in her hand. She walked to the cremated stone of the Moon Magistra
