"Shouldn't you kill me too?" Mila asked the king beside her.

Only now did Mila really realize that some information was very important, where it could change someone’s perspective on something.

Just like what was happening now.

After learning what really happened and the undeniable facts from Anna's memory, Mila began to see Liam in a different light.

One might say, she was starting to see Liam as he was a few decades ago, before all the drama and events that had occurred over the past fifty- five years.

Before Anna's death, when the three of them still had a good relationship and there was no prophecy, murder, conspiracy or war involved in it.

Those were the beautiful times that Mila missed.

"Wouldn't the family of a traitor have to bear the punishment for the betrayal along with the traitor?" Mila leaned her head against the glass container behind her and turned to look at Liam, who was sitting right beside her.

"Yes," Liam answered quietly. “But, I made a deal with the elders.”

    As it was well known, the seven elders could be beyond stubborn when they wanted something, and Mila couldn't refuse them outrightly either. Her status as a princess did not give her the authority to do so.However, Liam didn't help her to avoid the old people. He thought that Mila should go to the elders to find out what they wanted."Nothing they want would be good," Mila mumbled when Liam said that.They walked down the corridors of the castle, while the sun was still shining brightly outside. This castle was actually a fortress for the lives of other vampires who didn't have royal blood like them.During the day, the vampires would take cover in the shadow of the castle to escape the sun.Yes, sunlight could slowly kill them.“Do you have any idea on what they really want?” Mila asked Liam again. She had to be active in speaking, because if it wasn't just the two of them, the king would tend to keep his mouth shut.Liam would only be talkative in front of certain people."I guess

    Mila looked around, she was now in a dark alley, being led to a place she had never been before.It turned out that, even though Mila had lived in the palace for decades, there were still places she hadn't explored. Knowing about so many secret places in this palace made Mila feel amazed at the existence of such rooms.Did Liam know these places too?But, it seemed that now the more important question was; did Liam know that Mila was in a place like this?The guards who took Mila from her room managed to get into her room through a secret door behind an ancient painting, so Mila didn't have a chance to tell Liam this unexpected visit or be seen by the guards who were on guard outside her room.What a cunning and clever way for the elders to get what they wanted.The journey in the dark alley was getting steeper and gloomier, as if Mila was walking toward the center of the earth as the air gradually turned humid."Where are you taking me?" Mila asked in a light tone while noticing the

    Of course Mila wouldn't just leave without arming herself, especially when she was picked up in an unusual way and had to face the elders.After Alena left, the five guards took Mila away from the door, from where she had come before, heading in the opposite direction.At this time, Mila still hadn't found anything suspicious and she hoped these five people wouldn't do anything stupid, because if that happened, then Mila would not hesitate.And since her memory came back, of course, Mila remembered everything again and these five people should know who they were dealing with.Mila might be a princess, but she didn't look like that at all. Her soul was much tougher than just being a princess or a noble's born."Is it still far away?" Mila asked and her voice echoed through the dark passages of this secret way. They had walked for about twenty minutes, but Mila still didn't see any change in her surroundings. “How long are we going to walk like this?”No answer.The five secret guards k

    "Look?" Claire turned the little girl's face toward her father, as the girl tried to hit her, but unfortunately, the little girl's arm didn't even reach her face so Claire could easily avoid it. "She's very cute, isn't she?"Aaric's fury was completely ignited when he heard Claire say that in a scornful tone.Actually, Aaric didn't want to possess this child's body, because no matter how bad he was, he never resorted to killing the soul of an innocent child. It was just that at that time circumstances required him to find another body and only this child was closest to him.Meanwhile, in his then weak state, Aaric couldn't possess the body of an adult human, hence the reason why his eyes were still red up until now and didn't have the original color of this little girl's eyes."Amazing," Danny muttered, impressed by his daughter's ability to analyze the non- human creatures she had caught. "How did you even notice her?""She was near me and was behaving very strangely." Claire shrugge

    "And you are just going to stay silent?!" Mila screamed in disbelief. Her eyes hurt when she felt too emotional like now.How could Liam stay silent knowing that the elders had blatantly disobeyed his orders? And as the king, he didn’t even want to take any action?! Mila didn't believe this at all."I will not stay silent Mila, but this is not the right time," Liam said in a tired voice, he looked at the girl beside him who looked furious.Even though Mila was not able to see, that didn't stop her from showing how disappointed she was at the decision Liam made by not taking this matter seriously, at least that was what Mila thought right now."Then when do you think is the right time?" Mila exclaimed angrily. She no longer cared about what she had to say, she just wanted Liam to take action against the elders' outrageous insolence.If it wasn't for Mila, Liam should have been able to give them a warning and give them a severe punishment that would deter them from trying to harm her, n

    Liam was utterly disgusted by what was happening in front of him and chose to avert his eyes when Elena, reluctantly, covered the body of the young man who had lost his life after she was finished playing with him.The man bled to death after a few days in this room, and it was time for Elena to find new prey."Get that out of my sight," Liam said angrily. He looked at an antique flower vase that was on his left side.Meanwhile, Elena put on her clothes after covering the man with a blanket."What do you want?" Elena asked in a lazy voice. She then tied the rope around the blue robe she was wearing, and got off the bed.Elena walked over to the dressing table and started to brush her tangled hair. She looked haughty and didn't seem ashamed that Liam had seen her in such a situation.As if this was not a big deal to her, well, it was not…Liam didn't answer her question immediately, he glanced at the bed and looked at the mound formed by the blanket with a cold stare, before he finally

    The plan to attack the vampire's hideout ran into some problems and Claire was not at all happy with the convoluted process and the pros and cons that were raised by the leaders of the special force.Not to mention the fact that there was a possibility that they couldn't proceed with the operation because they didn't believe that the little girl was another being who was a soul possessor.How could they possibly muster such a large army just based on a little girl's words?It was completely unreasonable and they needed stronger evidence to be able to grant Claire's request and this frustrated the female lieutenant to the core.F*ck them all!================ It was the fifth day since Mila had lost her sight and slowly, she was starting to see the light and could make out the shape of things like the outline of a person's body. She still couldn't recognize the faces of the people she was talking to until they started speaking though.And during this period of time Mila was locked up

    How could Mila calm down when Liam was being like this? She felt like kicking this man away from her, to make the king regret for treating her so badly and causing unnecessary confusion.A**hole king!But, since when did he become such a jerk? Mila growled dangerously, as if threatening the man who was pressing her down to get off of her body, but of course Liam didn't budge and tightened his grip on Mila's hand instead, making it harder for her to move."OKAY!" Mila exclaimed angrily, her patience running out very quickly, but it looked like she still had to hold herself back from clawing Liam's face. “I will calm down, now tell me!”Mila tried to muster up some forbearance not to attack Liam while refraining from fighting back, because after all, it was a difficult thing to do. Mila's instinct to defend herself and fight was so strong that she had to tame her wild instincts."Don't fight me," Liam said, his tone sounding like pleading, but unfortunately, amid Mila's unstoppable ange

    “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.

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?
