Chapter 182
1612words
The next thing i knew, i was already lying on the bed. My eyelids were heavy from exhaustion as I opened them slowly.
I'm in my room?
When i looked around, i thanked god that Charles wasn't lying down next to me just like any other day. Taking that as a good thing, i got up and did my morning routine.
I didn't do anything much, i just took a bath and some servants delivered food into my room. Since i didn't have that much appetite to begin with, i just strode towards the vanity mirror, I picked up the brush. As I brushed my hair that is when i noticed a weird tattoo mark showing on the side of my neck.
"Now.. what the hell is that?"
When i touched it, my fingertip burned at the slightest touch, making my eyes widened in confusion.
Did it just burned me?
I clenched my jaw, what did he do to me this time?
Even though i wanted to confront him about it. I naturally thought that we'll meet anyway so i didn't need to take the initiative to see his disturbing face that'll just ruin my day again.
Since i already decided to ignore the mark for now, i just stood up and tried to open a portal but to my dismay, i wasn't able to, due to something restricting the flow of energy in my body
"Tsk, i shouldn't have drank that wine." I sighed in frustration.
Although it had an advantage in our plans, it's downside was far greater. It became an annoying ass advantage since there were a lot of things that i couldn't do. For instance, i can't use my damn powers and i'll probably feel any pain that Charles will feel in the process.
What an annoying spell
I groaned in frustration, getting up from my seat and getting out from the room as i was in. I didn't bother anymore if i was in my nightgown and went straight outside the dark walls of the castle, all of the servants were watching me yet none of them dared to stop me.
I turned towards the direction where numerous eyes felt like burning my back, looking at me supiciously. "Tsk, everything is so creepy around here." I mumbled
When i turn to my front, i gasped when a woman pops out of nowhere all of a sudden, making me jump back in alert.
I glared at her.
Yet She only smirks, "Greetings, my Queen."
"Who are you?" i raised an eyebrow, her face was familiar like i've seen her somewhere recently.
Based on her strength that i could see through my vision, it was probable to think that she's one of the clans that attended the coronation ceremony. It's not that i have a bad memory in memorizing faces but it's just ridiculous how all vampire clan members looked so similar to one another.
Not anyone could discern them if they wanted to.
"Gianna from the Ingram family." She introduces, "Pardon me for my rudeness Queen, but i was just curious."
Something about her is dangerous.
I could feel strong malicious intent yet she was hiding it with such a perfect smile filled with amusement and curiosity. She covered some of her intent with magic but i could feel it around my skin.
I gulped, Vampires are really cunning creatures just like they said.
"What do you want?"
"Oh nothing." She continues to smile, walking around me while eyeing me up and down. "I've been curious for the longest time with the girl in the prophecy, seeing you now- you really did exceed my expectations."
I stayed silent, her fangs now showing in view.
"A half-breed god is not bad, just by looking at you, i can already see how powerful your blood can be as a medicine. That strong, sweet-smelling stench of pure energy in your body, yet your soul says otherwise."
Her face turned from a smile into a scowl, stopping her stride in front of me. "Just like the prophecy, you're with someone in that body of yours that is causing your body to be this powerful. But as a single entity? You are nothing. You're even with half of your soul now, aren't you pitiful?"
This bitch.
I knew it, she came here just to raise my blood pressure.
Taking her hostility in my mind, i decided to play along with her rather than to satisfy her expectation. I curled my mouth into the most genuine smile i could make then turn it into the most menacing glare that was looking down on her every being.
You think you're mean?
Wait till you see the real Queen of bitches.
"Are you done talking?." I glanced at my nails, "I went out for some air, but look how you ruined the mood."
Her eyes widened, probably shocked that i wasn't the least affected by her tantrums.
I sighed, "The moonlight here doesn't end right? How beautiful. This place just perfectly suits me as a Queen. Just as you said, i am pitiful."
I walked towards her, picking one of the strands of her hair just like how Charles does it with me. I mockingly kissed it while looking at her shocked expression. "But aren't you the most pitiful? after all, you're just a SERVANT of this pitiful queen."
I grabbed it and pulled it hard, making her yelp in pain. She glares at me, her hands trembling to rip me apart. I could see how much she was struggling to keep her magic contained inside her body for some reason.
I chuckled, "See? even when i do this, you can't touch me. Maybe that's why you're venting your anger in words right? Isn't being a Queen so fun?"
I leaned to her ear, now grabbing her scalp with so much force, "Who's the pitiful one now?"
I then let her go aggressively, making her fall on the ground. Then i said with eyes laced with venom, "Listen up you fucking bitch, I don't know how you decided you can talk shit in front of me as i am your Queen but i won't let this matter go easily. If you disrespect me next time, your head will be rolling."
She grits her teeth, her eyes holding back their urge to glare at me. She just looks away in a hurry, panting hard due to her inexplicable anger.
"Now, get out of my sight!" I growled.
Upon hearing me, she hurriedly stood up and left, but not before looking at me with vengeful eyes. i just looked back at her with a blank expression, not a bit intimidated by her.
Well, she's strong alright, but she's not on par with those two guys that i've been trained to fight my whole life.
I sighed.
Morning to night in here is really hell.
"Pstt!"
What.
I quickly turned to that direction. To my suprise, it was just carly that was hiding from the bush beside me. My jaw drops.
What is she doing here?
"Psttt!!!"
Even though i was glad that she really was alive. It contemplated me how annoying my bestfriend is gonna be once again. I just facepalmed myself and headed quietly to her direction.
"What are you doing here?" I crossed my arms.
"I escaped from our place so i could see you!"
I rolled my eyes, escaped my ass. Numerous eyes are watching us even now. I doubt that she really escaped- it's more believable to say that she was intentionally ignored for a reason by Charles's orders.
Whatever it is, i'll just take this as a chance to talk to her.
"Get out from there,"
"No! i might get caught." She says, still yelling in a whisper.
I stared at her with a blank expression.
"What?" She asks. "The security here is really tight you know. I wanted to talk to you after the coronation ended but we were quickly transported back to our place!"
I sighed, "Don't worry, i'm already Queen you don't have to worry about being caught."
She stands up, "What?! you're even admitting it!"
I raised an eyebrow, "I was crowned already, remember?"
"Yeah, but aren't you trying to escape?"
"What? what made you think that?"
She eyes me up and down. Obviously telling me how i was in my nightgown and barefoot outside the castle.
"Oh." I mutter. "No, this is just me getting out for some air, i'm not trying to escape or anything."
"What?! you're not gonna run away!" She yelled so loud that i had to shut her mouth with my hands quickly, bothered that some people are watching us now.
"Stop yelling!"
"MhMmm!"
"Promise me you'll lower your voice down," I said with a threatening glare before she nods. "Good."
I let her go.
"I'm sorry, i was just too surprised." She huffs out. "i mean i know you've been crowned and everything. But looking at you in that ceremony, you looked like you didn't like the crown being in your head."
I closed my eyes in frustration.
Is this one of the reasons why that unknown woman suddenly decided to bully me?
".. and we are all worried about you, if you wanted to run away, we can help you."
"What?" I gasped, not expecting her words.
It's been months since i last saw her, and the people she was pertaining about is obviously those remaining citizen of BlueStone pack after the war ended. If what she's saying is right, then why? why would those people care about a traitor like me?
But looking at her expression, she wasn't lying.
