The Vampire King 1
A cold drop of water landed on the tip of his nose. When she awoke, she grimaced, feeling the drop continue down her cheek and roll into her ear. Struggling with the remnants of deep oblivion, the girl sniffed, tried to bring her hand to her face and brush off the annoying drop, but her hand stumbled on a hard, wet surface. She froze, listening to the world around her. Absolute, impenetrable darkness reigned everywhere. Silence rang in my ears, pulling me back into sweet oblivion. The girl almost succumbed to this alluring sensation, but another drop broke on the skin of her face, and the prospect of dealing with what was happening still seemed to her more tempting. But how? The girl lay on her back and clearly felt the cold, uneven surface with protruding corners, as well as the muscles that were stiff from all this.Another drop landed and hit right in the eye.- Yes, to you! .. - the girl nervously fidgeted in place and grimaced when her forehead met the hard and suspiciously close

- And now we are heading to Kermalan! - said the knight, touching the horse with his heels.In the hands of the young knight, the stranger moved weakly, black eyelashes trembled. And she went limp again.Upon arrival in the town, the wandering knight immediately visited the nearest tavern. The hall was empty, and the young man was glad of that. There was not enough extra talk that would lead to problems. The innkeeper turned out to be a gloomy person, but did not get excited at the sight of strange guests. A stocky, strong man with a tangled red beard counted Felix's due change from one silver, and sent him to the spare room, after ordering the maid to bring the guests everything they needed.The knight gently arranged the girl on the bed. A young maid in a stained apron brought a pitcher of water and a small basin. The girl looked at the strangers with interest, but out of politeness did not linger longer than expected, leaving the guests alone in the room.Felix unfastened his belt,
The Vampire King 3
A young merchant's daughter stood on the threshold, her arms pressed to her chest and breathing in the fresh, cool morning air. Lida watched her father talking to an unexpected visitor. The girl's heart was beating excitedly, like a small bird in a cage, when she tried to peer into the darkness under the hood pulled down deeply over the stranger's face.Lida's father, smiling obsequiously, waved his hand towards the house, inviting the stranger to enter. The girl's eyes widened in surprise. So that her father in the morning, waking up earlier than expected, would not yell at the culprit of this action? For a scandalous and always dissatisfied merchant to fawningly mince next to a stranger?!“Is it some kind of aristocrat?” - thought Lida, watching the slow, graceful gait of a stranger. He suddenly reminded the girl of her beloved cat Chamomile. Her favorite moved elegantly and gracefully, and when she saw a mouse, she froze, expressing alertness and curiosity with her whole appearance

- More corpses. One is killed, this is Alley, the merchant... his daughter is bled to death, like his sister, his wife is right in bed... horror! The house was not set on fire. When we arrived, there was no one there. And again, no trace!The girl sat down on the soft sofa and leaned back against the mountain of pillows with a sigh. Her lips pressed together tightly, turning white in a thin streak. Light eyebrows converged on the bridge of the nose, forming deep folds. The girl seemed too young for such traces of excitement to touch such a young face.“This is the eighteenth family we've been able to trace. Where is he heading? What is its trajectory?The man thought for a moment. Wiping his glasses, he replied:- From the Ridgrain Mountains, where the very first massacre took place, the trail leads from the Reef through Angan and the western part of the South Coast, and from Witch Mountain to Mirland ... How long has it been? Exactly! Five weeks from the first case.- Send all free s

When Felix returned, his unexpected companion was almost asleep. The knight burst into the room in a whirlwind, throwing open the door sharply, causing the girl to almost jump to the ceiling.- Are you ready? the young man asked, and barely managed to dodge the pillow that flew into him. - What are you?- What am I? It's you "what"! What ghoul? Decided to get rid of me? I almost died of fright! The girl's furious gaze made the knight cringe. For a moment it seemed to him that her eyes blazed with hellfire.- They heated the water there, poured a barrel, will you swim?There was silence for a moment.- I will, of course! Are you still asking? - the fragile, gentle creature called the girl continued to demonstrate her strong vocals. - Come on, come on! Yes, hurry up!She jumped out of bed. Pulling the slipping remnants of her shirt over her shoulder, the girl lifted her chin and with a menacing look walked towards the knight. He lowered his head obediently and silently led her down the

Felix woke up cheerful and full of energy. His new companion brightened up the usual monotonous days. Jumping out of bed, the knight noted to himself that he couldn’t wait to talk to this unusual, mysterious girl again.Stretching and yawning sweetly, Felix slowly got dressed. The wallet attached to his belt had become quite thin, because the knight had to rent another room so as not to embarrass his companion. The young man clicked his tongue and thought that it would be nice to find a part-time job in the near future.The innkeeper greeted the guest with a good-natured smile, and Felix happily shared the latest news with a pleasant interlocutor. Smelling the enticing smell of fresh pies, the knight hurried after his girlfriend. If they don’t quickly come down for breakfast, they risk being left without delicious, freshly baked pies with cottage cheese.Carefully opening the door, the young man looked into the room and saw a girl carelessly sleeping. A black stream of hair spread acr
The Vampire King 7
“Surely she forgot me, she married some count a long time ago and gave birth to him nice children.” She deserves happiness and a life of abundance...- But why did we run like that then? Did you find out where she is? – Ira began to be annoyed by his friend’s romantically snotty state.- Escaped? Oh yes! My uncle decided to marry me after my father's death. He kept saying: “There’s no point in snotting, live in the present, be a man!” He matched me with the daughter of a large merchant. One of the largest on the South Shore,” Felix paused, then blurted out, as if the name was poisonous: “Rikana... this is everything that the Inquisition is chasing, rolled into one... She is evil, greedy, rude, unbearably selfish and infinitely treacherous. I hid and ran from her as long as I could, then left, hoping that she wouldn’t find me. And this morning she found herself in a tavern. I can’t imagine how this annoying girl managed to find me! My gratitude to the innkeeper is limitless, because he
The Vampire King 8
The wine splashed in a transparent glass, and the fire in the fireplace made sunbeams jump on its smooth surface. The vast hall was warm and cozy. The cold did not bother the real owners of this ancient castle at all, but its servants - mere mortal people - simply needed warmth in the rooms.Silent servants scurried around the huge hall with trays, trying to please the visiting aristocrats, whose snow-white skin created an unimaginable contrast with their completely black clothes. Each visitor to the ball was a wonderful example of beauty and elegance. If a random passer-by looked at this ball, he would think that he was at a festival of the gods - everything looked so luxurious and magnificent.Tristan, dressed in black clothes appropriate for the occasion, sat by the fireplace in a deep armchair and thoughtfully turned a full glass of wine in his hands. Some young girls cast wary, but still admiring glances at him: only a blind or fool could deny the beauty of the young High Vampire

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
