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.

Ilyana looked around. The lights of Kermalan were no longer visible. Left satisfied, the girl allowed herself to slow down a little. Her legs hummed, her ragged breaths escaping into clouds of steam into the cold morning air. The girl tried to move away from the city as quickly as possible. Soon the chase would begin for her, and Ilyana had to carefully think through her further actions. From the city that housed the main building of the Inquisition, it was very close to Witch Mountain. In two days she will reach the West Bank on foot, where she can buy provisions and clothing. In addition, this particular corner of the world was famous for its haven of witches and midwives, and Ilyana intended to visit some of them. Have a friendly chat, so to speak.Until this day, the girl perceived the world from the point of view of the law and faith of the Inquisition. Now she became curious - was the world really the way her mentors presented it to the young servant? Ilyana was angry at the tho
The Vampire King 25
Ilyana wanted to call her friend by name, but a strong fist slammed into her stomach, knocking the air out of her lungs. The inquisitor's rage raged. Through her pain, Ilyana was surprised at how cruel her friend had become. Is it because he is suffering? Because she couldn't return his feelings?- You will pay for this! - the man grabbed Ilyana by the collar and approached the cliff, almost holding her suspended. The runes on the stones glowed crimson, pulsating like the heartbeat of hell.- Your witchcraft will not help you! No one can hide from justice!Ilyana realized with horror that she was standing on the very edge of a cliff. The left foot shuffled over the stone and hung over the abyss. Every breath felt like a stabbing pain. If the girl doesn't call his name now, she's done for.Kyrian pulled his hand back, pushing her over the cliff. A gust of wind swirled, throwing back Ilyana's hood and revealing her facial features. - Kirian! - The voice, hoarse with pain, was too weak

-Are you sulking at me for something, Lord Tantario? - William asked, crossing his arms over his chest.Tristan glanced at him displeasedly.- Should I be glad that you made me tinker with this writing? - He disgustedly picked up one of the documents with his fingers.But William was not easily deceived. He knew his Master like crazy, so he slyly clarified:- This is definitely not because of Ira?- Don’t you bother with her too much yourself? Maybe Alika has a reason to be jealous?William sighed sadly.“Alika now has a new admirer,” the adviser complained.Tristan was surprised.- I wonder what you can do not please a girl?William spread his hands.“They probably need a harmful character for the thrill,” the brunette smiled. - And you, Lord Tantario, don’t jump off the topic!The blond winced.- Oh, stop it. Your Ira simply awakened male pride in me. I'm not used to a girl neglecting me.It was clear from William's face that he did not believe the blond's words. Tristan had come ac

“If you want to know the details about the amulet, you better hurry,” Tristan muttered unfriendly. - William and I will be leaving soon. The advisor will answer all your questions. He's pretty good at this kind of stuff.With these words, Tantario turned on his heel and quickly walked out of the corridor.“Tristan, you will pay for this,” Ira returned the blond’s words to him, pressing the amulet to her chest. She didn't even have the strength to be angry either at the lord or at herself for this display of weakness. It seemed natural. Correct.I wonder which of them will be the first to risk giving up, without fear that this concession could easily break their heart?They both knew they had plenty of time to think about the matter.Norfvuld- Tristan, why are you so attached to these horses? Why don't we take those eastern trotters that the Savilian merchant offers us? They are cheaper and easier to use...- Will, will you stop whining today?- No, I won’t stop! So many problems have
The Vampire King 28
Tristan spent the following days at the Dannaran stables with other workers, taming the seven young half-breeds selected for the clan. William dealt with paperwork and finances, rarely appearing in sight. The adviser was more concerned about how poor their treasury would become after such a wasteful purchase of expensive horses.Tristan stood in the center of a small round pen made of rough, gnarled logs. The lord watched the stallion prancing around him with a smile. Against the background of the evening sky, the gray-silver skin of the horse seemed to radiate a radiance. Tantario named this young half-breed Marble - a suitable name, given that the horse's skin had a light, pearlescent pink sheen. Tristan involuntarily remembered the leader of the herd. The young man thought that young Marble could well be a descendant of that proud, handsome man. At one and a half years old, he looked almost fully formed, and only his fluffy mane and tail gave him away as a foal. From his mother he
The Vampire King 29
After a night of catching up with William, evening classes stopped. Meeting with the brunette in the corridors of the castle, they only exchanged greetings in passing. And a few days later, Tristan and William left altogether, leaving Ira with only a small bag with a piece of orange crystal and a couple of dry petals. William explained that it was an enchanted amulet. Orange crystals were very rare, they were found in anomalous zones like the one where Verinia lived. The dry petals belonged to marigold and carnation flowers. Together, these stones and plants acquired strong magical properties, hiding the night from the eyes of children. According to the brunette, the second most powerful vampire put a particle of her Power into the amulet, directing its effect on one specific enemy. Even after hearing this explanation, Ira doubted that such garbage could hide her from the eyes of the Overlord. But soon the girl had to admit that the strange amulet really worked. Previously, Ira had no

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
