The Vampire King 16
“Poor, poor brunette...” the knight heard the groom’s unintelligible words as he was about to enter the stable.His heart pounded loudly, echoing in his ears, and Felix stopped next to the boy, rooted to the spot. He remembered very well that now there were no other dark-haired girls in the tavern except Ira. The knight bent down and grabbed the boy by the collar.- What happened?!The groom shook his head, smiling absently.“There was a brunette with some strange red in her hair,” the guy explained. - I quietly spied on this beauty while she was stroking the bay stallion... I was just watching. There is nothing wrong with this! The brunette was wearing such a beautiful tunic. What legs she was hiding! But this brunette, with her passage through the wall... - the boy’s gaze became distracted again, and he swayed in one place.Felix shook it hastily.- What wall, damn it?! – the knight flushed. -Can you explain what happened here?- Yes, one guy came for the brunette... and she... over
The Vampire King 17
In her youth, Verinia was a witch not very gifted with either witchcraft abilities or attractive appearance: fair-haired, plump, with a round, forgettable face. It is only in fairy tales that witches are exceptionally beautiful with jet-black or fiery red hair, but in life they may be no different from ordinary women. After all, a witch who is difficult to identify will live a long and quiet life.True, Verinia’s life could hardly be called calm. Especially when the Inquisition came into its own. She scoured everywhere, giving no rest to either witches or sorcerers. Even the vampires have subsided, watching from their hidden clan estates as the inquisitors prosper. Ordinary people either idolized the Inquisition or feared it to the point of trembling, but they were united in one thing - in their hatred of representatives of the dark forces.And from then on, things went extremely badly for Verinia: her shop, where the woman sold her love and healing potions, closed, people started poi

- Pour me your miracle potion.The hostess handed the young man a large glass of broth and looked at him carefully. It seemed to Ira that the two easily communicated without words. Tristan's strange behavior unnerved her. After all, yesterday the young man seemed so sweet and charming. The girl's heart began to beat faster just from the memory of the touch of his lips.Tristan grimaced and downed his glass in one gulp. Ira frowned.“Tristan,” she called out to the young man.But he just gave the glass to the hostess and left the room in deathly silence.Tristan wandered around all night, not understanding how to cope with his unexpected weakness. How disgusting it is that right now he gave Telvisina his word that he would not feed on people. If he quenched his thirst, he could fight the pull of that green-eyed surprise. What if... no? He had never been so shaken by someone's scent before. Not since the day he turned into a vampire.Gradually, the crazy desire released him, but Tristan

The place turned out to be incredibly beautiful.- Maybe we should settle here? – Ira asked herself.Because of the sound of her voice, the girl did not hear a suspicious crunch. A low growl caught her attention too late. As Ira turned towards danger, large fangs clicked in her face. Closing her eyes, she recoiled, falling to the ground and expecting an attack.But nothing happened.Opening her eyes, Ira saw in front of her a muscular, golden-wheat side, dotted with black spots. The tall, graceful jaguar flattened his ears and a threatening hiss came from his throat. The wolf stood nearby, shaking his head, greenish-scarlet blood dripping from deep scratches onto the grass. The creature spread its paws wider for a comfortable position, and again rushed to the attack. Ira watched in amazement as the wild cat came to her defense. The jaguar took off in a graceful leap and knocked down the wolf, gnawing its powerful jaws into the defenseless throat of the enemy.The creature squealed as

“Alika, as I understand it, this is exactly that girl,” the young man standing behind his friend softly remarked.The petite beauty nodded hesitantly.“Well, then I’ll return to the hall, since our guest... is not alone,” Alika picked up the hem of her sea-green muslin dress and went home. Ira looked after her in surprise, amazed at the coldness in the girl’s voice.The brunette coughed, attracting the guest's attention.“It’s strange, but Tristan didn’t tell me anything about the convert,” Ira felt a little uneasy under the gaze of his dark eyes.The instant change in the young man’s behavior did not go unnoticed. This brunette was clearly not as simple-minded as he seemed at first glance.But then a bright, gentle smile appeared on the face of the dark-eyed young man. Ira didn’t even notice how the corners of her lips twitched in response, and her tense shoulders relaxed.- What is your name, beautiful stranger? - the brunette asked. “My name is William, I am the first assistant and

- You do not remember anything? – the adviser turned to Ira in surprise.- Absolutely!- When did Tristan find you?- A few days ago. I do not know exactly.- And they were chasing you?- Yes. But I can’t connect events without remembering anything,” the girl sadly lowered her eyes.- Ira, if I help you remember, will you promise that you will play the role that I ask you to play?The girl was surprised.- Do you really need this scoundrel that much?“Yes, and you yourself will understand in time why,” William smiled sadly, and the girl realized that for some reason Tristan was dear to this young man.“Okay, I agree,” Ira collected her thoughts.William asked her to sit on the chair. The brunette himself stood behind him, putting his hands to the girl’s temples, and quietly whispered words she couldn’t understand. At first, Ira didn’t feel anything...Ira opened her eyes. She was lying on a wide bed in a richly furnished room. A room of this size could only be in the estate of aristoc
The Vampire King 22
- Why did you start all this?The vampires stood on a small balcony entwined with wild grape vines. Here there was a magnificent view of the lands of the Tantario clan: green meadows with plowed fields and light spots of villages, islands of dark, pine forests and the sparkling surface of a fast-moving wide river. From the ground, looking at the ancient castle made of light gray stone, silvering under the sun's rays, this balcony was not visible. It just seemed that the roof of the low turret was overgrown with vines.This balcony was one of Tantario's favorite retreats. Here the lord remained alone with his thoughts, no one disturbed him, allowing him to admire the magnificent view. Tristan found himself thinking that his love of nature had not changed at all since Ezelia turned him into a vampire. The blond remembered a recent adventure when, having reincarnated as a jaguar, he immediately won the heart of the quarrelsome and unapproachable Ira. At the thought of the girl, Tantario’

This time, Ira chose a less luxurious, but equally beautiful dress: delicate lilac silk was decorated with darker patterned patterns over its entire surface, the skirt went down to the floor in numerous waves, and the corset was held in place only by dark lilac chains covering the shoulders. Involuntarily, the brunette admired her reflection. Traveling in Felix's baggy men's clothes, she completely forgot about her femininity.“Of course, I’m a vampire,” Ira thought and became even more depressed. There was a knock on the door of the room. The girl got up, put on her favorite leather boots - you couldn’t see them under her dress anyway - and went to open the door.Alika stood at the door. The dark yellow velvet of the dress contrasted beautifully with the creamy white skin of the young vampire. Multi-colored eyes looked at Ira searchingly.“Today I invite you for a walk,” she said calmly.“But...The Lord forbade me to go outside the castle,” Ira answered, carefully choosing her words.

The Vampire King Epilogue
Ira was sitting in the clearing. Leaning back, the girl watched the clouds passing in the sky. The world has changed a lot in recent years. The chosen one surrendered to her memories, closing her eyes and enjoying the warm rays of the autumn sun.All the horrors ended six years ago, when William destroyed Vragenn, and the combined forces of humans and vampires defeated the tyrant’s army. William, as the one who killed the Lord, was supposed to ascend to the throne of the king and lead the vampires, but the brunette did not even want to hear about it. That day, the winged young man seemed even more detached than before. Telvisina assumed the position of ruler, receiving the blessing of the human king and discussing the best ways of trade and cooperation between the two peoples.Since then, the way of life of vampires has changed greatly, and peaceful coexistence with humans has affected all of Lygyria.Tristan refused the offered honor of being chief advisor and agreed only to attend t

Staring at the silent ceiling, he renounced his thoughts from what was happening. Blood flowed down the back and legs from numerous wounds on the body and wings, and at the sites of the bites the pain radiated through a hot pulsation. The young man no longer had the strength to resist. The enemy's tenacious fingers held him tightly by his hair, not allowing him to move. William's heart was sad and bitter.“Do we really have no chance of winning?” - a heavy thought flashed. The contented rumbling of the feasting vampires rang in my ears.“Lilith,” William whispered barely audibly. He put all his desire and burning melancholy into this call. The image of the goddess he met in the Violet Mountains appeared in his mind's eye. And then - her tender kiss in the sanctuary. Lilith gave him her favor, which he would never even dare to hope for.His heart began to beat wildly with joyful anticipation - William felt how the goddess of the Black Moon responded to his call.“You called me,” the mo

The chosen one picked up the hem of her chic dress and looked out the door. The girl's heart trembled in her chest with excitement - very soon she would be free and meet Tristan! A mixture of fear and shame overwhelmed the Chosen One. How can she tell her beloved that the king's spawn is wearing? How can she survive this moment? This pain in blue eyes?.. Will they live to see each other, or will they fall, unable to hug each other again?The armed vampires who found themselves in the corridor did not allow the girl to drown in sad thoughts. The Chosen One could not miss such an opportunity to help her friends. Ira allowed herself to be caught up in the rage of battle. Mentally imagining her friends fighting, the girl sank her claws into the first vampire she came across. The rest froze, not daring to attack the king's chosen one - everyone in the castle knew that Ira could not be laid a finger on. The Chosen One took advantage of the inhibited state of her enemies and rushed forward.

Felix, in full battle garb, sat astride his trusty war stallion. The hawk danced impatiently on the spot, sensing the imminent arrival of the battle. The paladin held the reins tightly in his hands, restraining his horse, and from time to time he glanced with admiration at the rider nearby. It was the king of Ligiria - Edwin himself. It never would have occurred to Felix that he would lead an entire army, especially on a par with the ruler! The young man swallowed - on the eve of such a significant battle he was noticeably nervous. The king turned his head to the hero of Kermalan and patted him on the shoulder encouragingly. Edwin inspired respect and admiration with just his appearance: a tall, strong man of about forty with piercing light brown eyes and a shock of dark brown hair. A neat beard made him look more impressive and menacing, but small wrinkles around his eyes indicated that that this person knows how to sincerely smile and enjoy life. From the very first meeting, Edwin f

Ira tried to drive away the annoying “nurse”: she swore, screamed and fought, but to no avail. The ancient vampire was strong, reasonable, and did not succumb to her provocations. This angered and upset the girl, driving her to despair.“Creature,” Ira stopped opposite the Duke. Angrily pursing her lips into a thin stripe, the girl glared at the disgruntled vampire with her emerald gaze.- Come on, use it!- No, honey. You know how much our Lord values you now.- How strong? - Ira purred, looking sarcastically into the vampire’s yellow eyes.“Strongly,” the Supreme One muttered through his teeth.- Oh, really that much? - Ira turned on her heels and went to the dressing room. Opening the carved doors of the closet, the girl began to take out Vragenn's camisoles and trousers. Having collected a bunch of the king’s most expensive, and therefore most beloved clothes, Ira headed out of the room.- What are you planning? - the confused duke ran after the girl. - Ira, stop immediately...

“It was a difficult time,” Selena’s voice trembled with melancholy. “Many of my children gave their lives to buy us time.” For the first time, my sister and I combined our Powers and defeated Anur. But by that time there were too many bloodsuckers. They multiplied like a plague. Without their creator, they did not pose a fatal threat, but they could no longer become human,” Selena affectionately stroked the dark-eyed goddess on the head. - Lilith, considering herself to be to blame for what happened, spent a lot of Power to return the “infected” to reason and the ability to control themselves. And those who managed to take on their new appearance became children of the night, now called “vampires.” They have a lot in common with the seraphim, because their ancestors had similar energy. The need to drink blood remained, but it could be controlled enough so as not to cause suffering to anyone.The story of Lilith became an example for the other gods of the Heavenly Palace: that everyone

Tristan Tantario also fulfilled his role in their company, and did it brilliantly. But the young man himself often became irritated or, conversely, withdrawn into himself. Once Tantario even threw a ball at the castle, ostensibly to cheer up his guys, but in reality to calm himself down. William found out about the celebration much later, and rushed through the portal into the castle, wanting to give the stupid lord a thrashing. The adviser was worried that the Lord would not be alone in bed... but instead he found Tristan lying on the bed with a bottle in his hand. The vampire thoughtlessly looked at the ceiling and from time to time kissed his neck.William walked up to the bed and, after a short struggle, took the bottle from the blond. Tristan remarked indignantly:- Hey, nanny, leave me alone for just one evening! - after thinking, Tantario pulled a smile from ear to ear: - Or join me.William put the bottle down and hovered over the lord, crossing his arms over his chest.- It's

“So that’s how it is,” Ilyana said quietly when the knight brought his story to the end. - The world has turned upside down...Felix nodded.- Yes. Now we need to save Ira and destroy the vampire king.Ilyana shuddered.- This will be a very difficult task... The Lord is strong.- But we have to! - exclaimed the knight. - There is no other way! I am ready to sacrifice my life for a just cause.The girl smiled sadly and gently touched the knight's hand with her fingers. The young man looked into the bright, melancholy eyes of his beloved.“I just found you,” Ilyana whispered quietly. - Do I really have to lose you again?- Of course not! – Felix was indignant. He rushed forward and grabbed the girl in his arms.“At least don’t crush the unfortunate woman with your carcass,” a mocking voice rang out.Turning around, Ilyana saw a disheveled blond man standing on the porch in a casually unbuttoned shirt. The wound on his stomach left only a whitish scar. The girl stepped back from Felix a

royal clanThe royal apartments consisted of a series of rooms. Vladyka walked through a small hallway and opened the doors to a huge bedroom. Gesturing Ira to enter, the king grabbed two glasses, filled them with wine and handed one of them to the girl. Sitting down on a chair upholstered in red velvet, the vampire crossed his legs and took a sip of wine. Ira remained standing with a glass in her hand, without touching the treat.- I thought you were dead. - Vragenn finally stated. - And I'm glad that's not the case.Without waiting for any reaction from Ira, the king continued:- This may sound strange, but I missed you. Those nights that we shared... you are so passionate...Ira pursed her lips. Her breath hitched with indignation. But the girl continued to silently glare at the Lord with a hateful gaze.- Yes, you really are the Chosen One. Even Kyrian cannot reject my control, and you do it with ease, as if I were not your creator at all.The vampire drained his glass and put it
