If indeed all of this was the king's plan, then Mila should give him a huge thumbs up, for having come up with a plan to such detail.And after what happened, it felt like Mila became curious about the man whom they were referring to as the vampire king. Perhaps, meeting him wouldn't be such a bad idea…"Then where are we going now?" Mila asked after she finished putting on her clothes and turned around, while Dom was taking something else out of his bag, a pair of shoes."Wear these, we still have a long way to go," he said, kneeling in front of Mila, and was about to put on the shoes for her as well.However, Mila bent over and put on her own shoes. A pair of black running shoes. Why did they choose gloomy colors like these?"I thought the king would pick me up," said Mila. “Since he wanted me so much, I thought he would come see me himself.”Dom laughed softly. “It was very difficult for the king to get out of the palace, due to the assassination threats from the humans that never
Dom's heart pumped rapidly and his body began to feel cold, while his vision began to blur. This was really bad!In such a precarious situation, Dom had to get Mila off of him immediately before the princess sucked his body dry and finished him off in the process.Weakly, Dom tried to pull Mila's body away from him, keeping himself out of her reach, but Mila was too strong and her instincts told her not to let go of her prey.Meanwhile, passersbys immediately got out of the way, screaming in terror and started picking up their cell phones to either record the incident or call the special forces, informing them that non- human beings were out in the open.And if the special forces arrived there before they could sort things out, no one could guarantee that Mila would survive the situation, because it was certain that they would arrest Mila by using any way possible, maybe even kill her if Mila refused, which was very likely to happen.With great efforts, Dom tried to pull Mila's head a
Liam unclasped Mila's clenched hand, letting the still unconscious girl droop her head on his shoulder.Mila's forehead wrinkled and her eyebrows furrowed, as if she was experiencing a terrifying nightmare.Earlier, Liam had been told by Arabella that it was possible that Mila had lost her memory after decades of experimentation on her by those bastard people.Arabella knew this because she had been observing Mila for quite a long time without Aaric knowing it. In fact, when she decided to appear before Aaric, it was her own impulsive decision that was not at all in line with Liam's commands.And although their plan to pick Mila up almost failed because Aaric had taken her away, as long as Liam could get this girl again, he would use every possible means to get her back to his side.So, by ignoring the strict prohibition of the elders, Liam broke all the rules they made and came for Mila.Who would have thought that at that critical moment, Mila actually lost control because her wild
There were about seven elders sitting in their designated chairs and staring at the king with disapproval for what he had just done.According to them, going to the human world just to save Mila was not a wise move, considering what had happened to the previous kings.Liam's reckless actions shouldn't be taken lightly because there were already several vampires and other creatures they could rely on and trust to bring the queen back."The soul possessor had escaped with Princess Mila when we attacked the research center and if it wasn't for the king's quick order to change the strategy, it is certain that we would still be looking for Princess Mila's whereabouts," Andreas tried to defend Liam in front of the elders. “Moreover, after what happened with the soul possessor, we can’t trust anyone a hundred percent.” But his actions were labelled offensive in the eyes of the seven people.“You have no right to speak here!” Rang, one of the seven elders, rebuked Andreas loudly which made th
“Someone has been here,” Andreas entered the room hastily when he sensed that someone else was in the king's room until a few moments ago.And since the members of the shadow clan didn't have a strong scent like normal human beings, the bodyguard could only feel that someone had entered the room without consent.Andreas then immediately approached Mila, who was sitting on the edge of the bed. What else could she do with her hands tied up like that?"There was someone here before I came." It was not a question but a statement.Reluctantly, Mila averted her eyes from the open window, and instead started staring at the beam of sunlight coming into the room through it. "Yeah, someone just walked into this room.""Who was it? Where are they now?" Andreas asked in alarm, while briefly checking the contents of the room.Mila didn't answer, but just nodded toward the open window. Without wasting much time, Andreas rushed over to see if there was anyone outside the window, ignoring the stabbin
"Everyone out," Liam ordered.The six bodyguards did not immediately respond to the order, because they were still shocked by what they saw, so Liam had to repeat his command once again."Leave and regardless of whatever you hear later, don't come in." Liam's voice sounded much intense as every word he spoke screamed absolute authority.In the end, even though they were reluctant, a direct order from the king could not be ignored, therefore, they fell back and slowly closed the door again.On the other hand, on many occasions, Liam just dodged Mila's attacks or pushed her away, but when he saw that his room was nothing like it was a few moments ago and there were a lot of shards of glass scattered on the floor, he deduced that it was time to end this fight once and for all.With one smooth move, Liam managed to sneak behind Mila's body and grabbed her hands and crossed them across her chest before holding them on the girl's shoulders, while Liam stood behind her.Since Mila's arms wer
Mila felt that whatever Liam would show her later was something that would contradict everything she had believed so far.But, whatever it was, she must know what really happened to Anna and why Liam had to paint Anna as a traitor before ruthlessly killing her all those years ago."I want to show you something," Liam finished speaking just as they stopped in front of a door made of ebony. It had a handle in the shape of an owl's head."A moment." Mila pulled her hand out of Liam's grip and took a deep breath. She could feel the cold air from this place entering her lungs and making her body shiver slightly. "Tell me one thing first, what is behind this door?"Liam raised his eyebrows as if to ask; what for?“So I can prepare myself for whatever I will face later.” Mila gritted her teeth as she voiced her concern."Don't tell me you are afraid to face the truth?" Liam grabbed the door handle again, but Mila held his hand."Tell me first, what is behind that door?" Mila insisted on Liam
They kissed right in front of Mila. From the way the man embraced her sister and how Anna responded to the kiss, Mila could conclude that this was not the first time Anna had met this strange man.But, how can that be? And why would Anna do this? Weren't Anna and Liam engaged? They would be the next king and queen.Anna and Liam have been together for as long as Mila could remember, so it was not exaggerating to say that what Anna did was an affair. Not only that, this was also a betrayal to the king and their people.Mila shook her head and tried not to see what the two of them were doing. She pressed her ears with her palms, to get rid of the sounds that made Mila's anger rise, along with her disbelief at what her sister had the heart to do.Mila closed her eyes so what they were doing now could not be seen by her.If only this wasn't a memory, where Mila couldn't do anything but be a spectator, then what she would have done after this would have been one thing that Anna would have
“I know that eyes…” Cosmo said in low voice, as she chuckled brightly. “I know that determination to not want to trust me. But I don’t lie when I told you that Mila is in the dungeon. She went to see her lover. What do you think about that?” she taunted the king, but this time, she indeed didn’t lie. “I don’t believe you…” Liam growled dangerously at her, but this creature seemed to not afraid of him at all. “You don’t need to do that,” Cosmo said firmly. “You will never scare me.” The only thing that Cosmo wanted from Liam was for him to bring her here, because even though she looked like Cosmo, but she was not her and whatever she did and no matter what she had done, she would never be able to open this damn door, therefore, she needed to lure him to this place. “So, you fool me because you want to know the knowledge of this place?” Liam asked, the corner of his lips tugged upward when he spoke, but he could only chuckle when Cosmo was smiling at him, which made the dark witch co
“Maybe you are right,” Aaric finally spoke and that was the first thing that he mentioned.“About?” Mila couldn’t understand about what was right about her. “Do you have some idea?” Mila asked expectanly.“I think I have, but I don’t know if this will work or not.” Aaric was hesitated to try this and he didn’t think that it would work, but they needed to try this, right? They needed to make it worked, right?Aaric gritted his teeth, as he tried to cheered himself up because this was very devastating and he didn’t know whether it was right or not to do this. The only thing that he could say was for them to try this.“Whatever it is, it will be better than we don’t do anything and wait for me to disappear like dust,” Mila said, determination in her eyes when she said that. she looked very stunning with her black hair and black eyes.Actually, Aaric loved the way she looked right now, this made her looked more mysterious and beautiful.It was not that she was not beautiful in her white h
“Let’s go.” Liam looked at Mila sternly, but when he tried to take her hand again, she avoided him.“No, let’s see first. They are inside the room.” Mila didn’t want to back down, she insisted for the king to open the door and take a look inside. “This is only for a while, it will not take a minute if they are not here. You are already here, so why don’t you take a look inside the room?”“Why are you so insisting for me to take a look inside?” Liam narrowed his eyes because he couldn’t understand this. “You are so sure that they were inside. How do you know that?”Liam narrowed his eyes to look at her closely because he didn’t believe at all what she was saying right now. How could she know ant insist that they were inside when she didn’t even have any clue about it?“I am sure that they are inside,” Mila insisted, she looked at him with pleading eyes, as she tried to make him understand the situation. “You are already here, why don’t you just humor me and walk into that door to see w
Liam’s gaze hardened when he heard that. “You were attacked?” He looked at her deeply into her eyes when he said this.“Yes, I were attacked, she attacked me and I couldn’t avoid it and the next thing that I know, this is what happen to me.” Mila looked at strands of her hair, as Liam did the same thing.He took strands of her hair and looked at it closely, as he tried to see what kind of magic was there. “What curse that she used on you?” Liam asked in furious tone.He didn’t want anything happened to his wife, they had just married a few hours ago, but the problem had come bombarding them from all direction, how could they avoid this situation?This surely drove Liam crazy just to think about it alone. He really wanted to kill all of those bastards human.But then, this problem came up and he couldn’t ignore it.“We need to go to the forbidden room,” Mila demanded, snapped Liam back to reality because he didn’t respond to her words. “We need to go there before its too late,” she sai
“You know that I am right, right?” Aaric asked her. “You skipped your class.”Pouting, Mila looked at Aaric in disdain look. “I was not skipping class,” Mila said grimly. “I was not paid attention, that’s all.”After saying that, Mila grumbled something under her breath incoherently, meanwhile, Aaric just smiled softly to see her like this.But, his smile faded when he realized Mila’s current situation right now.It was clear to see that her hair and eyes had started to become darker and darker, she didn’t look like herself right now and this was really concerning. He didn’t know what was the right thing to do at this moment, but one thing for sure, this had to be stopped right away or else they would really lose Mila forever.The thought alone left Aaric speechless.For certain level, he could relate Mila’s condition to his own condition, because he didn’t have his own body, his own form, if they lost from this world, it would be only their soul that was left, but in that case, no on
“This is not you, Mila.” Aaric cupped her face and brushed away her tears. “Now, we need to go out from here, okay? If you don’t want to see it, you don’t need to, you can close your eyes and I will lead you out of this room.”Mila nodded, but she didn’t close her eyes just like what Aaric said. “Do you know how to face this curse?” Mila asked, as she was so afraid because her hair started to become even darker than before, she bit her lisp helplessly.If her time passed and there was nothing she could do, what would happen to her? Leaving like a ghost for another decades?Was this that had happened to Cosmo? Was this what happened to her before this? That soemoene had tricked her in this problem and made her lived in that way for another few decades?Mila gritted her teeth she didn’t think this was a nice idea for her to believe this, but then she couldn’t help it. She was afraid about what could happen to her right now.“Don’t be afraid, we can find a way to this problem.” Aaric kis
“Are you okay?” Mila asked, as she approached the cage and when she tried to touch it, she immediately retracted her hands and then watched in fear to the blazing steel.Yes, it didn’t burn Aaric, but the steel was very hot because of the fire beneath it.“This is so hot!” Mila complained she was stunned. She was shocked to realize that Aaric had been there for a long time.How could he endure all of that? was he crazy to be able to put up with that? Mila was not sure what she was thinking right now…“How can you be here?” Aaric started to ask her because there was no way she would be here without any help. “Why are you here?” that was the question that he wanted to ask the most.Actually, there were a few more question that he wanted to ask her, but those two were the most question that he wanted to the answer of.“I am here because I have to be here.” Mila furrowed her brows, this was not the time to ask this question, since they needed to get him out of there.Didn’t he want to go
Mila felt she was so tired, but then when she bent down and her hair slid from her shoulder, she could see her hair was not as white as before. It started to turn grey.The color had started to get darker than before and this made her scared to say the least, because she knew what would come to her after this. How could she do not scare when it came to this.Would she disappear? The thought of it alone made Mila had to grit her teeth and clench her jaw, just in order for her to keep her focus. She needed her focus now and didn’t disarray from her first intention.Yet, it was hard to shake her own worriness, since this was something that she couldn’t deny. Sooner or later, she would disappear, just like how Cosmo told her. Her hair became grey right now, which meant it would be dark black in a few hours again.And at that time, when all of that happened, there was nothing that Mila could do again. There was no turning back from that point.She would doom and if Mila was the only person
It was Cosmo all along, it was her, who wanted to sit on the throne and was crowned as the queen. This was all the curse about. She was the one, who wanted all of this.And Mila just realized it now. it was too late…It was too late for her right now to change anything. How could she be so stupid to just realize it now? but then, who would have thought that this kind of magic was existed and moreover, how could someone like Cosmo became like her?This simply didn’t make any sense and moreover, she had never heard this type of magic at all, not to mention that, even Liam didn’t believe about the existence of the curse. She didn’t believe her about Cosmo, he always thought that she was only her imagination, it was only hallucination.“What is it, Mila? I have not yet answer but the look on your face had told me that you already knew what is my ultimate goal is.” Cosmo tilted her head, she gave this look whenever she looked down on Mila. “Why don’t you say it to me about what is your bes
