Krrttt...The sound of the door opening was heard. Rena entered the room but Diana was still looking at the window without intending to look at her. Rena is annoyed but doesn't want to waste energy just talking to people who don't want to talk."I brought food and water, and this time you have to finish it. The king told me to do it by force, but I will be kind. I will wait for an hour. If you still don't touch it, then I will carry out his orders," explained Rena long and wide.Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock!Time passed, but Diana still sat there quietly. She didn't even glance at the contents of the tray in front of her. Her gaze was only fixed on the blue sky that she saw from the window which was a little blurry because it was covered in dust. Rena didn't know what she was thinking.Rena just watched this woman in silence. She wondered, why did Dominic take this woman? He should have taken the real Diana. Not even playing with a human like this."Time's up. I'll do it now," and Rena appr
"Heh... I forgot... Does she have a boyfriend now or a husband...? At least she has guards after I'm gone. I know they're vampires but they're people I can rely on. Yeah, I only have trust in them, nothing more," Diana thought. Tes..! Diana glanced at her hand. Thick crimson droplets kept falling on the back of his hand, forming a puddle and sliding down from the back of his hand and dripping onto the floor. "Ahh... So I hit my head and it bled," Diana's vision grew blurry, causing her to close her eyes again. "Diana I'm glad you survived. I'm glad to see you're still breathing right now. I don't know what happened that you forgot about me. But the most important thing is that you're safe," and after that Diana fell limp. ***** Rai was in the midst of a crowd of people passing by, as well as vehicles back and forth in front of him. Across the street where he stood, was a large black gate that separated these humans from the Antro Palace. Rai just stood there, looking straight at
Pine was in one of the rooms located on the third floor of the west area of Haltz castle. Since her arrival here, she has not opened her eyes at all. In her sleep she kept delirious.There wasn't much that Al could do as the second person in charge of the Haltz government, he could only monitor the state of this woman. Her tense face showed that Pine was having a bad dream. Her forehead was full of sweat, and her lips kept spewing nonsense words."Go..."Al listened to every slurred word that came out of his mouth."They'll be here soon..."I'll follow you...""Listen to me...""What did he do?" asked Iki who entered the room with Ika.“You have to go… Now.""Are you blind?" Iki cursed and immediately snorted loudly"Since her arrival, she has only said unclear words," said Ika. "Is she having a bad dream?"“If so, then it's really bad since she's been doing it since she first came here,” commented Iki."What should we do?" Ika asked."Leave her alone," Iki replied coldly.“Heee… Wher
Hah... Hah... Hah...The sound of her breath getting louder and louder, sweat dripping down her body, her eyes closed with images of events that kept repeating themselves, made everything seem real.The gray color has now changed to other colors, making it even more colorful. A deep breath made the eyes that had been closed for five days finally open.She sinks deeper into the lost memory. Assemble them into solid pieces. The memory continues to spin like a movie that is showing.“It would be better if I died this time.”"If that happens, that woman will forever be a stone. Living in darkness and silence," someone replied."You..."Yes, the person who replied to those words was Rai who had just returned from the human world. He just went straight to Pine's room to meet her. The residents of Haltz who are worried about his condition just ignore him, including Al and his younger siblings.Upon entering Pine's room, Rai immediately found that this human had awakened from her long sleep.
Rai turned his body, staring at the expanse of trees that surrounded his castle. "I know or maybe I don't know... Therefore, I must protect you."Pine refused, "No. I don't want to involve anyone anymore. This is my problem and I'll sort it out myself.""Are you stupid?" Rai mocked. "You realize that you are human. That one fact and all your questions answered," he turned and looked at Pine, "You've lost," he provoked and left.Pine tightly gripped the blanket that covered half of her body. What Rai said was true, and it was a fact. An undeniable fact… Pine was a human, and this alone was an absolute defeat for her."But still... I have to get out of here. Releasing a human is certainly not an easy thing for a vampire. But I have to go. Win or lose at least I have to try," she said, making Rai stop in his steps."You didn't help her. I see it. You're not trying to save the woman you call Dion."Pine lowered her head, “Because of that incident, I think I lost my memory for a while. But
"I can't just sit there while Dion is suffering out there! I don't even know if she's alive or dead!!!" Pine's scream was cut short and without realizing it, tears were already falling from her eyes."Kevin will come to get you. Your wedding will still take place. This is the best way to protect you."Pine was surprised by Rai's words. "No! No! I don't want to! What are you thinking!? Getting married at a time like this? Do you not care about Dion? You—""Shut your mouth," Rai interrupted, making Pine flinch.Rai is now in a very bad mood after hearing what this woman did, especially hearing her words that she wanted to go save Diana."Don't you realize, I'm trying to protect you on behalf of Diana or whatever her name is! I protected you because she told me to. I care about her, that's why I protected you. If I'm as cold as you think, then from the first time I saw you, I've killed you!"BAM!Rai closed the bedroom door or rather slammed this door, and ended his chat with Pine, leavi
Tak. Tak. Tak.Kevin walked alone to Pine's room. Arriving in front of the room, he immediately opened the door and found his woman sitting curled up, crying non-stop."Pine..." Kevin whispered.Pine didn't answer but she just jumped out of bed, ran, and then hugged Kevin so tight. "Kevin... Kevin... Kevin..." she sobbed."Calm down. Everything will be fine. I'll protect you. We're going back to Raltz now," Kevin replied, stroking Pine's hair affectionately."No, Kevin..." Pine spoke through his tears, "Dion... I have to... I have to save her..."Kevin sighed and pushed Pine away from his body. He held Pine's shoulders tightly, then looked at Pine's face which was already wet with tears. Pine returned the gaze with a look of sadness."Pine, listen... Now we go back to Raltz, and the day after tomorrow we will still have the wedding. I'll explain everything on the way," he then wiped Pine's tears that kept flowing.“What do you mean by marriage!? This is not the time to be discussing m
The black sedan continued to drive through the Silver Forest, past the many pine trees whose leaves occasionally hit the car body. Leaning her head against the window pane, Pine noticed the appearance of the pine trees moving backward due to the fast speed of the car.Her eyes were indeed focused on the passing scene but Pine's mind was somewhere else. During the trip, Kevin told everything that happened, without missing a single story.Stories that left Pine speechless. Everything these vampires talked about sounded very strange. Even understanding one thing in its entirety made Pine feel dizzy."I know this is too complicated," Kevin said as he focused on driving the car. "But I hope you can understand."Kevin then grabbed Pine's hand and held it. "You or that woman. You are just victims. I'm sorry. It shouldn't have ended like this."Pine gripped Kevin's hand tightly and said without turning her head, "Don't say anything more. I don't want to hear any more frustrated words from you
