It was like an infinite tower of drawers with files of people. Dead or alive. She climbed up the stairs to search for old files from the 1800s. “Does vampires have their record here, mother?” Caroline asked. “Of course, my dear.” She fixed her silver eyepatch as she picked up her feather pen. “I’m bored, mother. Can I go shopping?” “Hmm,” Caroline knew well that her mother wouldn’t let her out alone. “Go with Christopher.” “Fine.” She said as she opened another drawer. “I already organized this one. But this is our family’s files.” “Yes, we kill as well.” She said. “It’s for the best.” “But, the crime that Grandmother Freya committed was quite right.” “Killing her fake mate?” Her mother asked. “It was for the best. That bastard was keeping his mate alive to be his sex slave while he enjoyed the luxury of our family’s wealth.” “But what happened now to the House of Cyprus?” “It’s still managed by your brother and cousins.” “Then, when can I meet my brother?” “
Dominick rummaged through the papers while Ciel sighed and shrugged. “I had it organized, what are you searching for?” “Father mentioned in his stories about the House of the Poets. We need to get there. The person who was sending us these reports was hiding in the shadows.” “House of Poets?” Ciel said. “Monique might know.” Dominick stopped searching. “By the way, weren’t you and Monique on good terms? But you still fuck? Here I am worried that you might not have an heir because of Bella’s nonchalant sister.” “Hey, we were on good terms when it comes to sex.” Ciel rolled his eyes. “Now, there’s something you should know. I think it came from Paxton.” “Hmm?” He asked. “His mother is alive?” Ciel was surprised.“I found it out when he quickly left for his hometown. But it’s good to know that Aunt Athena is alive.” “He had a sister.” Dominick stopped for a while. “Oh, wow. Now, that’s another to celebrate.” He grinned. “But what is the reason why she hides?” Ciel asked. “Sh
Bellatrix knocked on Paxton’s room. When she heard that they were searching for the House of Poets. She heard the story from the old King a long time ago when he stayed for a week in their mansion. That was the time when he gifted her the music box.He told a lot of stories mostly about the Crown Prince. She probably had met him many times, but she had no clear memories of him. “Hello,” She smiled. “Are you both going out?” “You heard?” Paxton said as he put his running shoes on. “Well,” She grinned. “I have my people and it seemed that there’s indeed a tower that was in the secluded area.” “Who?” He creased his brows. “You have your birds?” “I do.” She smiled. “Now, go there and make sure that we find that Doctor. Kyle seemed to be on the brink of death.”“I will, my Queen.” He stood and bowed at him. “Stay safe.” She grinned. “You haven’t received your full vacation leave.” “Oh, you are right.” He chuckled. “I need to get a full vacation.” He then looked at Winter. “Let’s go,
To RavenThank you for your support in gathering all of the details and evidence. I will have an invitation ready for next month. He’ll surely be at my engagement party. Wishing you all the best.Bellatrix“The way the future Queen’s mind worked only meant that she’s indeed the rightful one,” Athena said with a chuckle.“That’s probably while Dominick's grandfather has been wishing her to be Dominick’s mate. The old man surely knows things.” “Bella is indeed perfect for this role.” Paxton agreed. “Then, will you be there for the Queen’s show?” “Of course,” Athena said as she stood from her chair. “I wouldn’t miss that at all.” “Brother!” Caroline ran to Paxton and hugged him again. He patted her head. “Dear, show Winter to your room and your collections.” Her eyes widened as she nodded. Then, she pulled Winter and as soon as Winter and Caroline left, Athena crossed his arms and looked up at him. “What happened in the castle?” “I can’t tell you,” Paxton said. “I am sure that you
Paxton arrived home early with Winter. He sought for the Crown Princess and found her dancing with a sword with a blindfold on. It was the same style and the same dance that Caroline was practicing but Bella’s way was different. She was harsh and her dance might be the same but she had her technique. “My letter arrived from the ravens.” He said and lifted it. She removed her blindfold and put the point of the sword down. Finally, she approached him and took it. “You are pregnant yet you are dancing.” “I am not disabled.” She said, “Besides, a little dance wouldn’t hurt the baby. I am just remembering all of the dances your mother taught me when I was very little.” “I see.” He sighed. “So?” She asked. “You’ll like my sister. She’s the most adorable sister in the world.” He said and turned back to leave. He yawned as Winter also looked sleepy. Caroline had told a lot of stories nonstop. He also meets others who work as ravens and there’s Christopher, the man he met who was s
The ladies prepared the gown that Kyle made. She looked at Winter, Solenn, and Monique. She had the ladies excused as they replaced it with the gown that she had customized with the same designs. She was wearing a silk dress and a G-string. She stepped over on the gown with her heels on. “Wow, your baby bump is adorable,” Monique said. “Yeah, you’ll have it soon.” She grinned. “Vampires rarely get pregnant unless they are mated with a human,” Monique said. “Oh?” Bella chuckled in a little devilish way. Monique creased her brows. “No, that can’t be.” She shook her head. “I am not up for babies right now.” Winter helped with putting it on her while Solenn was gaping while she put on a beautiful white gown. “I’ll be a Moon Goddess tonight,” Bella said and put on a crown. She also bleached her hair back to the original color of her hair. “You are certainly stunning,” Solenn said. She’s also wearing a white dress with an angel’s wings. She then checked her ears and it sh
The man shortly joined the dance and as soon as she was twirled around, he left the spot where he was she gasped when Dominick covered her and there she saw Kyle in front of them with his back on them and received something from the man. Monique jumped over to attack the man by the neck but he disappeared as he searched quickly. They all gasped upon seeing Kyle. He looked somewhat happy. “Ciel!” Monique pointed to the window as Ezekiel, Ciel, and Caleb ran after the man by jumping off the window. “Kyle!” Olivia screamed and ran toward her brother while a hand pulled Kyle before he fell to the floor. “Auntie.” Kyle smiled. “Take me to her, as you promise.” They all looked at Athena as she hugged the boy, her eyes on Bellatrix. “I will.” “Kyle,” Olivia cried as Kyle only smiled at her. “I’m done, Via. Please take care. I’m going to her.” “What are you talking about?” Kyle finally dropped to his knees as Athena gently laid him down while Bella looked down at
As soon as Monique entered the ballroom, people’s eyes were on her. They thought that she was the one who killed the Prince as some saw someone else who stabbed Prince Kyle to assassinate the Crown Princess. She remained standing as they cleared up the hall leaving Athena, her daughter in a butterfly outfit. The boy named Landon, the rest of the Vortex family, and her family. “I’m sorry about the party, my love,” Athena said softly. “No.” She shook her head. “It's bait for him.” “Are we able to track him?” She asked Monique who nodded. She then looked at Athena. “And is this recorded?” She asked. “It is. We have all of the evidence gathered.” Athena said as Bella sighed and caught the girl in a fairy gown staring at her with tantalizing eyes. “Hi,” She smiled. “We haven’t formally met.” She curtsied. “I’m Caroline, Your Highness.” “You are stunning in your gown.” She sighed. “It’s just a bit of a shame that the party ended early.” She chuckled. “We can sti
