Loved By a Vampire King

Zave's expression changed into a shy one to cover his immense happiness that was boiling inside. The anticipation, dream had finally turned true. The insult that he had been enduring throughout the vampire world for born in a low-blooded family, this humiliation had made him more determined to move further.

He purposely spoke with hesitance,

" That will be my honor, Queen Mother. Pardon my words, I am aware of the fact that princess has been acting reluctant towards marriage for the past few years."

Queen Mother's face sank as she shifted away her gaze to hide the anger. She knew that Zave was spitting out the real truth. Moreover she couldn't let him know that she had no control over her own daughter.

Thus she waved her hand condracting,

" That's not a big deal, Zave. My daughter just has been too shy over herself. Leave the matter to me and wait for my good news. I'm sure that my son will have no obligation over it."

Zave didn't dare to utter anymore word to anger her thus he could only answer with a faint smile. Coming back to the main topic, he reminded her once again,

" Queen Mother, when are you planning to visit him, then? "

Queen Mother smirked before plopping down on the chair leaning,

" Tonight Zave. I have been waiting for him so far. Prepare everything for me."

Zave nodded before retreating himself from there. But Queen Mother never saw the devilish smile that he gave from the doorway looking at her.

On the flip side, after playing with his little wife early in the morning, Aaron's mood was exceptionally good and cheered up. He left the bedroom and headed for the hallway to join his daily activities.

As soon as his domineering silhouette made appearance in the hallroom, the ministers instinctively got up and bend down their heads to show him respect.His black boots tiptoed giving off an aura of pressure as he ascended down on the throne before gesturing them to get up.

The ministers lifted up their heads before sitting cautiously. Their life had been very miserable under his rules and commands. He never gave them any second chances to mend their mistakes thus they always had to be extra cautious towards their tasks. His one phoenix glance was enough to shiver them in fear for the whole day. But it was unbelievable that they had experienced his warm side yesterday towards his wife. In front of her, he was like water which could be used anyway that she wanted.

Soon after, Aaron ordered Jasper to start the court. Jasper asked towards the crowd that if anyone had any significant matter to tell the Lord. Instantly, the minister from the IKlSLAST STATE which was once ruled by werewolves stood up from his spot before speaking anxiously,

" My Lord, we have found a mysterious corpse of a Vampire lady nearby my castle in the state. But we were unable to detect the reason. We can only assume the lest possibilities of her death which...which seems impossible logically."

Aaron threw him a confused glare before ordering briefly,

" Show us the corpse first, Mr.Machwell "

Mr.Machwell nodded before ordering his guards to bring the body inside. The other ministers showed not much concern thus they all started paying attention to their own state's problem.

Soon after, two guards entered holding a bag wrapped in a white thick cloth and stopped in front of Aaron before putting it down slightly. Aaron ordered them briefly to unwrap the cover as everyone's curious eyes fell on the corpse confused. 

One of the guard bent down before unzipping the bag and a bloodless face of nearly twenty years old girl popped out instantly. But the crowd went in uproar as some of the ministers got up from their spots shocked written all over their faces. 

As the cover was completely undone, her whole miserable body appeared in front of everyone. The young girl wore a simple long gown had no injuries in her figure except it lost her usual color white. Instead of white, it was lightly green like a new leaf of late autumn.

At the sight of her figure, everyone's body tensed up in fear including Aaron who tightened his grip over the dragon head edge of his throne. Then Aaron gestured the crowd to keep silent and ordered Mr.Machwell to speak first.

Mr.Machwell seemed horrified as he explained the matter as per his knowledge,

" My Lord, you know that we, vampires can only be killed hurting by werewolves or witches. But this body has no sign of usual killing. I have summoned the best healers from our state to detect the reason behind her murder but all of them couldn't figure it out. But one of them mentioned the only possibility that she had been killed by sucking her soul power. "

He took a deep breath before continuing,

" We all know that only one person in the history who had the power of sucking vampire soul that is.... Enchantress.. "

Another minister protested quickly,

" Im.. impossible.. How can that be possible, my lord? Enchantress was killed by your father after few years of your birth.On the process of killing Enchantress, he was killed too.She can't be back. "

Other minister agreed but thought of another possibility,

" That's right. Enchantress can't be back but may be someone new had absorbed this power which is still unknown to us."

Aaron frowned hardly as he immersed himself in deep thoughts. After hearing everyone's thoughts, he finally spoke darkening his gaze,

" At first we have to be assured that how this innocent girl had been killed. I will summon the best healer of mine to detect the cause of her murder. Until then, we have to be patience and shouldn't take any decision recklessly.By the time, I will suggest you all to be extra careful about your surrounding. "

Then he shifted his eyes on Jasper who seemed to be in dilemma too,

" Jasper, make an announcement around the kingdom. "

Jasper nodded before gesturing the guards to take the body inside the castle.

On the other side, Esme had done with her breakfast in her bedroom today as Aaron made her late. Getting bored in her bedroom, she stepped outside to find something to do. When she passed by Vanessa's room, her eyes subconsciously peeked inside through the half opened door. In this days, Vanessa had been very quite as if she wasn't present in the castle. She had been recuperating in her room quietly without making a fuss. Though it seemed good from outside, Esme's gut feelings still gave her ominous feelings as if something was going to happen in the future.

Inside the room, she was her lying on the bed with her closed eyes as usual thus she intended to walk away. After roaming here and there, her mind suddenly reminded her an important task which was left undone. Considering the fact that Aaron was still in the hall room, she hesitated inside her mind to enter in his personal library.

She walked slowly inside the study then moved forward towards the library. She contemplated for a moment and took some time to reconsider. As Aaron honestly never forbade her from doing anything, she finally sighed inwardly before touching the lock.

The wooden door was opened with a creak as her nostril filled with a misty fragrance of books. She got inside quickly as her eyes laid on the piles of book ahead. The shelves were all filled up with various books according to topics and authors which made the reader to find out her interested books easily. It seemed more like a professional library that she had seen while living in human world. For a moment, she really missed the carefree life that she lived there with a lovely family.

Sighing helplessly, she proceeded her way inside the big shelves and examined the books and criteria carefully. Most them were about herbs or chemicals whereas few had literatures. She didn't want to waste this opportunity thus she continued searching for the old book that Ron had mentioned on that day.

After searching desperately through the shelves, she didn't find any ancient book at all and felt hopeless. Sighing helplessly, she moved towards the last shelve but stopped at mid-way looking at a sign " Forbidden".

Her pupils shrunk at the word and at the same time her curiosity sparked. Without thinking twice, she quickly charged towards the criteria hastily. Indeed there had been a lot of old books written in brown paper pieces and seemed extremely old-fashioned.

She felt puzzled at the sight of so many books and cursed Ron for not mentioning the book name. She quickly scanned the book names one by one and finally stopped at the last book of the row " The Cursed Cave : Reisan (where your death can fulfil your wish)".

She pulled out the book from the shelve as her eyes fell on its cover which had a picture of a demon god who was worshipped by the evils. She looked around to find a spot and discovered a chair and desk at a corner.

To avoid any misunderstanding further, she picked another book from other shelve wisely in case Aaron finds her later and interrogate.

She plopped down on the chair hastily pressing her back towards the doorway and put the book on the desk whereas the other book was used as its shield.

With a bit shaky hand as if she was going to commit a grieve crime, she turned out the first page nervously.

Then her perplexed eyes saw the chapter title...
