WHIP! WHIP! WHIP! That was the sound that came from the horse whip that was used in beating Bruno. He held the pain in for some time but couldn't hold it anymore on the fiftieth time. He bursted into tears and let out a loud cry, each time the guards landed the whip on his back. During all these events and happenings, the King was nowhere to be found. No doubt he attended the meeting, but he didn't show up in the present state of emergency and chaos that the palace he governed was in. Bruno prayed silently for the King to come out from wherever he was to save him, but it felt as if the immortals turned a deaf ear to all of his prayers. He couldn't believe that he would end up this way. He would try to escape and live then fight another day, perhaps. 'After all the promises, Alicia brought me from square one to square zero.' 'I can't believe I ever trusted her. I loved a lady who is evil and wicked hearted, a lady bold enough to murder my mother.' 'I will never love a woman
Jade had been on the low since the recent happenings, which involved Bruno's mother's death and the sudden disappearance of the Vampire king.Since Alicia was yet to recollect all that happened after she passed out, she decided to make use of the opportunity to sow a seed of hatred and discord in her heart towards Bruno.She washed her face and arranged her hair neatly before setting out to pay her a visit.Jade got to the room and knocked gently thrice, after which a matured voice beckoned on whoever it was to come in.Jade opened the door and was taken aback on seeing the Grand Queen, Seria, patting Alicia on the forehead. She had put the twin through a lot already, and she was putting on a
Jade looked after Bruno for two days and promised to return very soon. Before she left, she gave him one of the pills she made out of Night and Candy."Take this pill anytime you feel weak. It works effectively well." Jade said to Bruno after handing one of the pills to him.Bruno accepted the pill and kept it in one of his garment pockets."Thank you so much Jade. Thank you for staying by me and saving my life." Bruno thanked Jade, with tears running down his face.Jade held him by the hand and stared into his eyes for what seemed like eternity and made forward with a slow pace to kiss Bruno on his lips.They kissed each other affectionatel
She tried to contain her anger within herself and replied to the head official in the nicest way she could."Please have your seat. I would like to chirp in a word or two." The Grand queen said, signaling the head official to sit with her hands.Though unsatisfied, he reluctantly sat on his seat."So… sorry for the little interruption. There are a lot of things that have been happening for some time now, but it can not be handled roughly. But with patience, thorough investigation and adequate wisdom." The Grand Queen explained to the officials that filled the courtroom.The court room was silent over the Grand queen's explanation, and the room felt like a graveyard until the head offic
Alicia wondered what personal stuff Jade needed to attend to.It was a lie which was known on Alicia's part, but she let her go without asking about what the so-called important things were.AT THE FOREST.While Bruno was still in the Redmine forest, a group of soldiers found him and their king instructed that he be brought."He looks bright but injured. I can take him as a son and a prince in the kingdom."The king urged that they all leave at that moment but Bruno begged that the king spare a few minutes to draft out a letter for Jade.
After Bruno left the Redmine forest with the King of Syrak, things changed for him.It marked a new beginning for him.He was sent to a warm and comfortable room in the palace, and the royal doctor and attendants were assigned to him.It was the order of the King of Syrak that he was properly taken care of and well fed.It felt like Bruno was in a very interesting dream. He pinched himself to be sure he wasn't receiving those good treatments in his dreams.'Maybe this is a compensation to me from the immortals up high. They exist afterall. I must have been so foolish to doubt their existence.' Bruno thought to himself.&n
He felt sorry for judging at first."I miss my wife and our two lovely twins, Alexa and Alexis. Their death made me shattered and a broken man for years, until I met you and became happy again. You pulled me out of my shell, thank you son. I love you." The King said to Bruno.Tears flowed from Bruno's face.King Jude had been so good to him that he had never felt anyone love him that way, except his mama.She was the best thing that ever happened to him but she left too early."Come here." The king said as he wiped away Bruno tears and pulled him in for a warm hug.
"Hey you, what are you doing over there?" A manly voice called out from within the woods.Shivers ran down Alice's spine as she hurriedly hid the red lotus flower in her bag pack."Erm… I think I lost my way around here. I'll just leave and find my way home." Alice lied as she turned to leave."You don't look like us. You smell like a…"A wolf? Oh no! Was she about to get into trouble now?"You smell like a pig. But still I need to figure out who you are. Follow me!" The man barked.Alice gritted her teeth in frustration. She followed the broad shouldered
