The sunset was amazing, as the sky was decorated with different colors.Beatrice sighed, picking up a fruit that settled on the plate.She rolled her eyes at Melinda who was fast to pick another."Tell me, sister, why did you agree to come to eat with me on this not-too-far-from-home picnic?" Mel asked."Not too far from the home picnic? Where were you planning to make it then? In the jungle? sister?""It would be a waste to ask a question after a question, cause no one will answer." Mel frowned, to have Beatrice snort." I decided to leave the mansion, so I would not end up beating that sister of yours." "If only Grandpa would allow, I would beat that stupid goat and hang her on the chandelier. Serves better for a clear light." Mel chuckled."Ha, it is not right to think Ill of people, lest the grass and trees hear it and twist the words." Rolling her eyes, Melinda stood up and so did Beatrice when they both saw the maid coming to the backyard of the mansion."Is there a problem no
Chapter 20Beatrice didn't mind speaking with uncultured people, her parents had taught her better.It was never a good thing to make people feel bad because they had no manners but for the woman she was staring at..she knew this one would never want to learn.The woman looked so proud even with a glance.Her shoulders were held high and her beret that didn't even match her dress was nearly covering her face and her makeover was out of line.She looked like a confused human out to find out how nature ran its course.But of course, Beatrice still smiled at the lady even when she didn't smile back."Lady Herbert, it's a pleasant surprise to find you at the Lord's Mansion. The rumor about you going around and flirting with men had been stopped..thank God, it didn't damage your name." Lady Sophie said."Hmm, thank God it had been stopped. I honestly was not happy as some people decided to taint my name. A poor me." Lady Herbert said, to have Beatrice smile."There is nothing to worry abou
Chapter 21Beatrice walked up the stairs to meet the Lord, that had his eyes keenly on hers.She didn't know what was wrong with the Lord but he acted weird sometimes."Ha, my Lord." Beatrice gave the Lord a slight bow to see his lips curved up to a smile."Your words are sharp Beatrice, but don't like it get you into trouble." He said, and she smiled."They women can't seem to leave me alone because of you Milord, they keep saying I am trying to woo you and I just can't keep my calm when someone says rubbish," Beatrice said, and the Lord nodded."How interesting? You wooing me." He said, to have Beatrice narrow her eyes."It is the truth I speak Milord." "Hmm." Beatrice shook her head as she rubbed her forehead."Milady." It was Lola the maid."Greetings Lola, how have you been?" She asked."I've been well Milady, which would you prefer? Jasmine Tea or Kelo's Tea? Both are available." She asked with a smile."Jasmine Tea? I have never heard of it before, seems like the Lord has bet
Chapter 22The day was already getting dark, as the bell that was hung on the tower of the castle had begun to ring.Beatrice sighed.She had already told the Coachman to stay back at home but there was no way she'd be able to go back home again.Turning to Lady Herbert that was done packing, she smiled..."Such a hard-working lady, it's quite a shame I don't have a brother to woo you," Beatrice said."Ha, don't even mention it. Herbert does not want to get married hen e the delay. She has refused so many suitors all in the name of 'not the right time and not the right person.' Lady Yuan said.The bell rang again louder than the first, making the two women stand up."It is time we leave, we wouldn't want the Lord to come search for us, would we?" Herbert asked as she grabbed the small bag.Beatrice nodded as she picked up her bag and they began to leave the meadow.It was already past Eight when they got to the castle.Beatrice had decided to go with Lady Herbert since they lived in t
Chapter 23It was morning and the morning sun that shone into the room was too blinding for Beatrice's red eyes.She covered her eyes with the back of her hand and sighed.Sitting up to see that they other women were fast asleep, Beatrice sighed and got up from her bed.She walked to the bathroom and discarded her clothes.Thankfully Herbert had brought another wear she'd have to put on when she was done with her bath.She came out of the bath as quickly as she got in.Putting on the clothe Herbert had brought, she brushed her teeth and dressed her hair.There was no need waking they women up.She walked out of their room, closing the door as she did.Turning around to see a familiar face, she gasped."Why are you so afraid dear Sister?" "What are you doing here Melinda?""How bad of you to leave me all alone in the Mansion to come have fun in the Lord's mansion?" Mel snorted."You were sketching your Art's work sister, how would I know that you wouldn't mind me disturbing." "Athena
Division 24The man looked confused."The deaths? It has been peaceful in this area."Beatrice frowned."How so." She mumbled to see a figure leave the church through the other door close to a burner."Ha! Something is burning." She said, and the father turned to have his eyes widened.They both walked to the pulpit of the church and behold a book was on the burner while the fiery fire burned.Father Jude had gone to bring water to quench the fire and when the fire that had been burning was quenched, Beatrice squinted her eyes to see that three of the books in the burner had burnt to ashes but one had not burned..not a single scratch on its body."Is it your father?" She asked, to have the father shake his head."We have never had such a book in the church before. It is said to be a way itches' book that is not supposed to be held. A woman was burnt to death last month for possessing such books." The father said to have Beatrice nod.Then how come was it in the church?Turning to the d
Chapter 25The mansion was quiet.Two women could be seen sitting on the couch, one was found reading and the other was found writing a letter."Are you thinking of wooing the man? I thought that was for men to do." Beatrice said, reaching out for the letter only to have it pull away."No one is supposed to read this, till I'm done with it.""Okay." Beatrice nodded, yawning as she stood up with the book she held.It was not so important as she had guessed.It was a book map to show places where different flowers could be found.Why would anyone go around to look for flowers?She flipped the other place and her eyes settled on the dark but that covered the whole page."Hmm.. fascinating." She mumbled.Flipping the other page to read what it was used for, her eyes widened to see it in full.The Dark Blue over the years has been used to clear out as many vampires as there are if one could behold the book...Nations would fall and the...'Bang.' She closed the book quickly and scoffed.And
Chapter 26"The church close to the library?" The Lord asked.Beatrice nodded, wondering how the Lord knew about the church.The church didn't look like a church at all, lawns and weeds had begun to grow around the church making her wonder if at all.. anyhow goes there to worship."I see." The Lord said, narrowing his eyes at the burning bush."What do you want to do with that bush Lord..." She trailed off and gave him a knowing smile.The man sighed."I want to clear out the entire vampire race with this flower." He answered to have her smile."How good of you, to burn all and take just one. If it took one to kill us all, I bet we would be no more ever since." Silence reigned between them as they both watched the fire."You shouldn't have come here, it is not a place to trespass." The Lord said to have Beatrice snort."And here I was thinking it is a place for lovers.""My my...I never thought Miss Beatrice has taken a fancy to me. Why would I refuse a lady." The Lord said to have B
Chapter 81Walking into the Mansion with the Lord to where the sword was dropped.Beatrice picked up the sword."Are you ready?" The Lord asked, his lips raising to a smirk."I am. Are you ready as well?" She asked, a smile forming on her lips as she watched him.He nodded, picking up a plate that was on the other table."Your hand. Raise your hand Beatrice." He said, and she did as she was told.Picking up a spoon, he spooned out a little of the ash and placed it on her palm."How does it feel?" He asked, after a minute pass."It's hot... it's getting hot, so hot." She mumbled."Don't throw it. Leave it there for a while. Bear the pain." He mumbled."It hurts." Beatrice blinked, a tear leaving her eyes to rest on her cheek."So...little." The Lord whispered, raising his hand to clean the tear that left her eyes."It hurts and you're mocking me!" She glared at him.The Lord picked up the sword and placed in on her palm."Without dusting the Ashe, try to unsheathe the sword." The Lord
Chapter 80"Aren't you the prettiest Luna?" Beatrice giggled at Herbert's words.She couldn't contain her happiness at the moment.She never knew the party would end like that.She had never expected the Lord to crown her Luna in front of everyone present.Was this what the party was for after all?"I'm so happy for you Luna." Yuan gave her a tight hug."Thank you." Beatrice mumbled turning to the other person behind her."Alpha Zane." She greeted and the nodded."How have you been Luna Beatrice?" Alpha Zane greeted with a slight bow."I have been well." Beatrice said, smiling at the man.Come to think of it, he was the very first person to know she was the Lord's mate cause she could recall that time she and Melinda had come to the Tea Party they Lord had assembled only to be dragged to the Lord by the man."You have a lot on your mind." He chuckled. A low chuckled that made him more Handsome.He had a little hint of the devil, and it made him look like the Lord in some way."I've al
Chapter 79Beautiful smiled as they Lord led her to the dance floor. Bringing her dress that touched the floor to her sides so she could dance well, her hands were wrapped around the Lord's neck while the Lord's hand around her waist as they danced to the beautiful rhythm of the song."No one is as beautiful as you Beatrice." The Lord said and she chuckled."And no one is as handsome as you Milord." She said for him to nod."You didn't even have to say it Beatrice, i know."That smirk on his face made her shook his head.Narcissistic!"Did you mix the item you had wanted to mix Milord?" Beatrice asked to see the Lord nod."How unromantic." He ticked his tongue."I have done it all, they only thing left is for you to grab the sword and unsheathe it. It will be magnificent." He mumbled, pride laced in his voice."Ahem!" Someone coughed beside them, making they couple look behind them."Milord. Lady Beatrice." A man bowed.The man Beatrice recognized as Sir Raymond."Will you like to ma
Chapter 78The carriage rode into the field of the Mansion and they both got out."Milord." It was butler Declan who walked towards them with his head lowered to the ground."What is it Declan?""It was Sir Raymond Sire, he dropped a letter. It is an invitation to his ball party.""What is it about?" The Lord asked, a frown forming on his head.He didn't want to busy himself with measly parties. He had something important to do."It is for the Lord's of the four land." Sighing, the Lord rubbed his forehead and nodded, as they walked into the Mansion."I can go in your stead Milord." Beatrice said, running his back.Seems like the Lord was indeed tired."Will you now?" He smiled and she nodded."Okay, stay with Herbert and Yuan when you get there. I will meet you there late." The Lord said for Beatrice to nod as he let of her hand and she walked up the stairs to prepare for the ball party.An hour later and she was dressed and ready to leave for the party.Getting into the carriage, s
Chapter 77"Now, enough of this talk. What did you come to find today?" Father Jude asked, dropping the rake on the floor as he went to the small bowl that had water in it to wash his hands."The Lord found another method to unsheathe a sword." Beatrice said for the man to nod."There is no method use in unsheathing a sword Beatrice. It depends if the sword is ready to be unsheathe or the sword doesn't belong to that person." The man said."It does belong to me." Beatrice said, her brows knitting to a frown.Base on what she had been told, the sword belonged to her.Everytime she touched the sword, it glimmered with power and light."So what do you want now?' She asked."Ash from the fire side of the church.""Is it the cedar wood or the olive wood?" The man asked.Turning around to see the Lord outside the church who had not made any attempt to leave where he had been standing outside, she sighed and walked out of the church."Milord.""They wraiths in the church won't let me in. Do
Chapter 76Picking the sword and dropping it on the table, Beatrice sighed as she watched the Lord take off his shirt.They were about to test something about the sword and he was taking off his shirt?Why was he taking off his shirt? She coughed, shaking her head as she turned around not to see him."You've already seen everything sweetie. Why turn around?" He asked, and she rolled her eyes.She had almost forgotten that the Lord was nothing but a perverted man with a perverted mind."I'm done." She turned around, hearing his voice."What are we doing now Milord?' She asked, picking up the sword that was taken from the Barbarian Leader. The sword that had chosen her, where she was yet to process the whole thing.The sword that had been handed down from her mother to her had not been unsheathed yet and now she was about to begin another session with another sword."Are you okay?'"Are you sure it choosed me? Some things aren't what it seem." She answered to see the Lord smile."Are yo
Chapter 75When the got to the Lord's mansion, it was already afternoon as they had stopped at many places for the Lord to deliver something to people."Hmm...the grasses has grown." Beatrice said, looking at he grasses that had grown at the sides of the Mansion where the horses were allowed to graze."Declan and some other men had gone to Nalish to help Niklaus deal with something in his mansion. There was a problem of a witch and the council had been questioning a lot of his maids and butler and Declan wanted to help." The Lord said, helping her down the carriage.Stepping down Beatrice nodded, looking over to the huge field one could see from where she stood.Unlike the sides of the Mansion, the field was the very same as it had been days ago when she had left."Did you bring the sword?" Beatrice asked."It is already inside" The Lord answered, gesturing to the Coachman to leave.The Coachman sighed, thanking God that his master would not be going any other place or else he would n
Chapter 74"Why couldn't he get an assistance for himself dear sister?" Beatrice asked."Are you being happy for me? Or yoire being jealous dear sister?" Melinda glared."Why not? I'm so happy for my sweet sister right now but why would I be jealous? I have someone better." She said the last part In a cough to hear Melinda scoff."Acting rude?""How could I not? When my dearest only sister had not spoken to me for a while now in peace...but when it involves the Duke.. she's smiling like something never happened at all." Beatrice snorted."You should be happy I'm even talking to you." Melinda retorted."Oh..how glad I am." "Keeping things from your only dearest sister." Melinda mocked, sarcasm laced in her voice."Well..... didn't I say sorry already?" Beatrice shrugged."And on what part did I hear the sorry? Saying sorry rudely doesn't count! Some sorry doesn't come from the heart! And do you know what hurts...is that you've only just met the man, whereas I was and always have been
Chapter 73"Well, according to what i was told." The Lord began.."I began to talk at the age of One, faster than many other children. My fangs grew and my eyes darkened." The Lord said.Beatrice's eyes widened and she chuckled."You were indeed stubborn Milord. Right from birth." Beatrice mumbled."Niklaus was the only one who turned out to be so slow. At two, he still couldn't talk and his fangs didn't grow out. Aunt Miralle was so worried about him...even Zane grew faster than him but Niklaus turned out to be a strong one.""Didn't you say he couldn't even beat Alpha Zane?" Beatrice asked."If it were a real fight, he'd kill Zane before the fight begin. He's fast, agile and a cold-blooded vampire with a little amount of wolf blood in him." The Lord said, making Beatrice's eyes widened the more."He's a Hybrid?""Not a full blown one. He's a cold-blooded vampire and has a little wolf blood in him. His father is my father's uncle.""Did you two get along? How did he become the Lord
