Chapter 5- Tired!
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"I'm here for your youngest daughter, Mr. Leos. I'm here to bring your youngest daughter to my palace."
A long deafening silence took over, and they all gazed at each other with a baffled expression on their faces.
Eloise turned around and left for Penny's room. She now finally realized why Penny had a worried expression on her face when she mentioned the king. All along, she knew the king was here for her and not who they all thought he was here for.
The smile on Irene's face slowly died down. She fisted her knuckles angrily, piercing her fingers deep into her skin. Once again, her younger sister was going to take what was supposed to belong to her.
Mr. and Mrs. Leos stared at each other for a while, they both had a lot to say. But...it was the king and not a stranger. One wrong word would have their head cut off.
"My king, are you perhaps mistaken?" questioned Mrs. Leos with a bow.
With a sly smile on his face, Zephyr responded, "Did I stutter, Mrs. Leos?"
"I..."
Mr. Leo held his wife's hand to stop her from saying what she was not meant to say. "I'm sorry for my wife's insolence, my king. It's just that, my youngest daughter, she won't..."
"And do you think I care about that, Mr. Leos?" Zephyr said sternly. He stood up angrily which made Mr. and Mrs. Leos stand up from their sit too. "Penelope leaves with me and that's final!"
Eloise stood in front of Penny, staring at her friend who had an unfathomable expression on her face. She knows that Penny isn't happy at all with all this, knowing her friend she would prefer a simple and happy lifestyle, not an extravagant lifestyle. That was something Irene wish for and not Penny.
"What should we do, Eloise? There's no way I will survive all alone in the palace with the king. What if he sucks all the damn blood out of my body." Penny said almost in a whisper. If only she had not been walking around in the castle the other night and it's all Irene's fault for forcing her to go to the ball.
"Well, there's nothing we can do. He's adamant about taking you to the palace and maybe all along he might be the man you are meant to be with. You will have so much fun living with the king, you have so many servants and you might even end up as the queen. You should be happy, Penny." Eloise said with a huge smile on her face. Maybe, after all, her friend would find her true happiness with the king. And then she would be the queen's best friend.
"But we both know that's not the kind of life that I desire, Eloise. I don't want that kind of extravagant lifestyle, I just want a simple and quiet life. That's what I've ever dreamed of Eloise and not to be a queen." responded Penny, a little bit annoyed with everything that was happening to her.
"Then you must get used to it, Penny. This time around, the ball is not in your court. You have no choice but to go with King, it would be the best thing for you."
"But..."
"Penny!" Mrs. Leos called, she had been standing not too far from Penny's room and the process overheard their conversation. All she wants is a good life for both of her daughters but it seems like always, life is playing a high game with her daughters' lives and once again there's nothing she would be able to do about it. It's not that she hates her younger daughter, Penny. Instead, she yearned to give her the happiness she had lost.
"Mama!" Penny cried out and for the first time in years, she felt like bursting out into tears.
Mrs. Leos walked towards her daughter, she held her hand in hers and said calmly. "There's nothing we can do, Penny. You have to go with the king."
"No mama, I don't want to leave. I can't survive in the palace mother and you know that. There's no way, I can survive living all alone with the king, mother." Penny pleaded almost in tears.
"I'm sorry, Penny. But this time around, there's nothing that your father and I can do. You have to leave with the king. It would be the best, for the family." said Mrs. Leos, rubbing her daughter's hand with hers.
"I..."
"You must be happy, right?" Irene stated, breaking the heartfelt conversation between the mother and daughter.
"Excuse me?"
"This is what you've always wanted, right? Once again, Penny, you've taken what's meant to be mine and I'm sure you must be so happy about that." Irene stated with hatred in her voice.
Penny fisted her knuckles angrily, she glared at her sister but didn't utter a single word. She wouldn't waste her time talking to someone that won't even listen.
"You do know, that's not true, Irene. Is this how little you know your younger sister?" Mrs. Leos questioned angrily, she couldn't that her eldest daughter could be so selfish and self-centered.
"Yes, mother! And I just wish she can die! I wish she can just go to hell!" Irene yelled angrily, for her to receive a slap from her mother.
"Mother!" Penny called while Irene held her cheek, tears falling profusely from her brown eyes.
"I didn't raise you to be so heartless and ill-tempered, Irene! What has gotten into you! She's your younger sister and you want her dead?! I'm very much disappointed in you, Irene. Now, leave for your room right this instance." Mrs. Leos said, fuming with anger. Irene glared at Penny before walking out of Penny's room.
Eloise stood dumbfounded, watching the whole scene. She could feel the tension in the air, trying to put all the pieces together to figure out what was happening between the two sisters. She could feel the hatred in Irene's voice and she knows that the king choosing Penny wasn't the only reason she was angry. It was something that she had been holding for a long time now and if care is not taken, that hatred can turn into something bad, extremely bad, and dangerous.
"Mother!" Penelope called, bringing her mother out of her thoughts.
"Your father and I will try our best to appeal to the king, Penelope. But right now, you will have to go. It will be for the best."
Penny closed her eyes briefly and nodded her head in approval. She had heard rumors about how brutal the king could be if his demands were not fulfilled and the last thing she wanted was to be the reason for her family's downfall. For now, she has no choice but to go with King Zephyr. Life was indeed playing with her but hopefully, this will be the last time it would be playing dangerous games with her feelings cause she was tired. Extremely tired!

Penelope closed her eyes for a few minutes, to stop the tears from her eyes from falling. Though, for a long time now she's been planning to leave this house, the environment, and most especially get far away from her sister. She wasn't expecting to be this way. Never in her wildest dream would she have imagined that she would be trapped in a relationship with the king. If only she had not let her legs wander around the castle the other evening. Mrs. Leos placed her hand on her daughter's shoulder, comforting her. "Your father and I will try to appeal to the king, Penny. We will do everything to make sure you are safe, I promise." Penelope opened her eyes, nodding her head in approval. She could only hope that the king will be reasonable enough to let her go. Unfortunately, that won't be happening any time soon. "He's waiting for you," stated Mrs. Leos. She signed tiredly before walking out of her daughter's room. Penelope swept her haze around the room like she was admiring it for

"Pardon me?" Penny said, furrowing her eyebrows in the process."I will teach you that with time, Penelope. For now, just keep being my woman, will you?" Zephyr asked which will make anyone think that he was expecting an answer. But Penelope knows that he wasn't. He was barely toying with her feelings, only God knows how she ended up with a man like him. "I'm not your woman, my king," Penelope said firmly, her eyes were cold which made the smile on Zephyr's face grow wider. It was her cold eyes with the innocent aura exuding from her body that caught his attention when he first laid his eyes on her. Her innocence, the faux smile that's always on her face makes him so eager to see a real smile on her face. But one thing was certain, he was going to make sure that she falls so madly in love with him even if he has to go past through hell for that to happen."Time will tell, Penelope," Zephyr answered, not bothering to make her accept. He doesn't need her nor anyone else approval before
Silver Eyed Devil Chapter 8- His World
Zephyr sat down on his throne in the courtroom. His presence alone was overwhelming but his cold gaze was enough to send shivers down their body. The smile that was once on his face was nowhere to be seen, it seems like that smile was meant only for Penelope. He gazed at members of the council as if he was watching his prey. And to him, they were no different from his prey.The room was silent, too silent which made it seem like they were paying tribute to a lost soul. But then, they were all afraid to give the king the report cause they were scared of the king's wrath. "I don't remember appointing animals as my ministers or do I?" questioned Zephyr but they all knew better than to reply to him. Just one mistake, that was what he need to have their head rolling on the cold floor."Don't tell me I appointed fools!" Zephyr said in a cold tone, glaring at the good of nothing men in front of him. He was supposed to be spending his time with Penelope, looking for ways to win her heart but
Silver Eyed Devil Chapter 10- Betrayal
Penelope was in her chamber, still in a daze. There was a knock on her room's door which brought her out of her world. A brown-haired maid walked in with her head bowed. "Good Morning, Lady Penelope!", greeted the maid with a bow."Good Morning," responded Penelope half-heartedly. Ever since she stepped foot into the palace, strange things have just been happening to her and she so much hated it here."My Lady, the king wants you to dine with him in his room," the young maid said, still bowing.Penelope scoffed annoyingly, "Tell the king that I'm not hungry.""But..." The maid bit her tongue when she realized what she was about to do. There was a rule in the palace for the maids which was they were not allowed to question their masters. Though she was sent here by the king she had no right to question her decision even though she knows that the lady's response might cost her to face the king's wrath."I will, my Lady," the maid responded, walking out of Penny's room.Penelope let out

Penelope closed her eyes gasping for air. She only thought that the king was a crazy man, no insane... "You made a promise, King Zephyr! It was a promise and promises are meant to be kept!" Penelope uttered calmly, trying to stop herself from losing control of herself."Oh," Zephyr muttered softly, he took a step backward and that made Penelope calm. She thought she was saved from his trap but instead...Zephyr carried her in his arms and without waiting for her reaction he threw her on the bed. He was losing control and the more she refuse to give him her blood, the more he yearns to have a taste of her blood. "Ahh!" Penelope gasped in fear. Her eyes were a bit misty, her eyes were bloodshed red, and she was close to tears. She shut her eyes to stop those scenes from playing on her mind. At that moment everything felt so familiar and it was driving her nut.Zephyr noticed the change in her heartbeat. He stopped and finally decided to take a look at her. Fear! That was the first exp
Silver Eyed Devil Chapter 1- The Ball
"Don't tell me you are not ready for the ball, Penny?" Irene sighed tiredly, glaring at her younger sister who was busy playing with her kitten. "Ball? What ball?" asked Penny, her green eyes glowing brightly. Even if she did know about the ball, she wasn't a bit interested in attending the vampire ball. She wasn't ready to be a meal for those bloodthirsty ani.... people. Irene sighed and answered annoyingly," the king invited us to his Ball and Momma wants us to go. She wants to find us a suitor as quickly as possible." "Suitors? Papa agreed?" "Yes, I believe he's ready to give us away. We have been living here for too long and the last thing I want is to be a source of a topic for those jobless villagers. Now get ready Penny, I will be in my room if you need help with your dress." said Irene, walking out of her sister's room. Penny placed her kitten on her bed, stood up, and lazily removed her nightgown. She still can't remember Irene telling her about the ball and even if she d
Silver Eyed Devil Chapter 2- Her Identity
Penny walked into the ballroom, side by side with Mr. Rosi. Her gaze fell on Irene who was busy dancing with a man who looked no less than a man from the higher class but he wasn't a vampire. Her eyes were glowing brightly, smiling at the man who was also admiring her. 'It seems she likes the man,' She mused annoyingly, fighting the urge to roll her eyeballs. "Irene? She dances so gracefully doesn't she?" Mr. Rosi commented With a faux smile on her face, she answered. "Yes," "Do you mind dancing with me, Lady Penelope?" he asked, his left hand stretched out waiting for her response. He works as a magistrate for the king and he was lucky enough to be placed in Penny's village. The minute he had set his eyes on her, he had grown to like her and not her sister who was always acting calm and graceful. Her green eyes were what caught his attention and then her calm and nonchalant attitude drew her to him but he isn't certain if she has that kind of feelings towards him too. But he was

Silver Eyed Devil Chapter 4-His Bride
Penelope woke up a bit earlier the next morning. She sighed tiredly as she recall the events that took place the other night. All she wanted was a peaceful evening but she ended up getting the opposite. She was so lost in her world which made her fail to notice a shadow behind her. Her mood was a bit damp, mostly because of her mother's eagerness to get her married and the other being that she can't get the silver-haired man or better still the king away from her mind. "And who is the lucky man capable of stealing your heart, Lady Penny?" A soft voice whispered behind her which made her gasp in shock. "Eloise!" Whimpered Penelope annoyingly. Eloise's lips broke into a huge smile and in the process decided to sit beside her closest friend. "Is that how to welcome back your only friend," said Eloise with a little bit of annoyance in her voice. "I'm sorry my queen!" Penelope responded and stood up to give her a bow. "That's more like it!" Eloise responded with a huge smile on her f
Silver Eyed Devil Chapter 3-His Woman
It was past midnight, Penny was in her room with her cat on her lap. She sat down beside the window admiring the stars, at the same time thinking about the silver-haired man she met, the king. She closed her eyes, remembering every little thing that happened between them. She wanted to get him out of her mind but she just can't. She wasn't able to get him out of her head and that was affecting her. She heard a click and turned around to see Irene walking into her room in her evening wear. Her eyes lingered on the pink evening wear that was once hers. Their father being a tailorman gave her the gown for her eighteenth birthday. At that time, she was still so close with Irene and that was also the year her sister showed her true colors. She gave the gown to Irene because she claimed to have washed her only nightgown but thinking about it now, it seems she lied to her. She removed her gaze from Irene and stared at the stars instead, choosing to ignore her. Irene noticed this but chose
