We only returned after nine days. Since we were at it day and night I used up three days trying to heal, but it still wasn't enough. So we had to call the doctor over and I had to once again rely on Richard's blood, that was the only way I was able to make it back here in three days, however since I took his blood before the due date I was looking much younger like a young adult, I looked as if I was twenty once again if someone kept Martha and I then they would claim that Martha was older, not just that but I fear Richard had been staring at me since the blood transfusion.
He's really difficult to handle.
I looked at the window and found Ethan staring at us, I waved at him with a huge smile and signaled for him to come outside. Unlike other vampires who would turn to ashes at sunrise and reverse back to normal once away from the sun like a phoenix, Ethan
It's four days after the incident and about five pm.Today is the day I made up my mind to leave. Richard would never agree if he knew, but he didn't need to know otherwise he would stop me from leaving. This was the best option for the three of us.I've decided to leave with Ethan, at the moment his life might not be in danger but I doubt things would remain like this for long. I had a chance to escape, or should I say I was given a chance to escape.That day, I didn't plan to listen to her. I was about to let Richard know of the conspiracy going on when I found Richard packing up our bag. Almost half of our stuff was packed already. "Let's leave this place Mira. We can start afresh, just you, me and Ethan." Then I understood why she said I was his sole weakness. So long as I was around, i
Third party POV. It was in the year 1829, the year of the Russian Empire of Emperor Nicholas I of Russia. In that year, through the bloody winter of Austria, a woman dragged her legs, carrying a child in her arms. The child did not cry as it depended on his mothers warmth to soothe him. She found her way to an old and tattered house that was barely hanging on. For her, it was better if her child lived a life in poverty than be exposed to the cruel world and lose his freedom. Her name was Erika. As Queen, she had a great responsibility to live up to the expectations of her people however she had failed at that. As a result of two marriages, one, a loveless marriage and the other a happy marriage, she had four children, two boys and two girls. Elizabeth, Evan, Elis, and Ele
They didn't expect to find the stranger whose daughter they had said, right before their front door bearing gifts towards their son, with an army of carriages bearing a flag. They who wanted absolutely nothing to do with nobles had now become acknowledged by one, and now he had prepared to formally greet them. "The last time we met I could not introduce myself, so allow me to do it now. I am Archduke Nikolai of the northern duchy of Moscow, this is my wife Katherine, we're here to formally thank you for your help." Not a moment did they hesitate to bow to the ground. A man of his status has visited low class commoners, it only proved how much he loved his child. As commoners, the majority could not imagine that they would ever see the face of nobles, if they ever came across any then they would be humiliated and belittled by them, so it was best to avoid them as much as possible. The
There she was once again, standing in the middle of the numerous maids and escorts, of course it was expected of royal blood. "You again." Malicay said he stood still right after opening the door, gazing at the child who was glowing with happiness.The people behind her did not like the word 'you' being used to identify the lady. They were upset, but there was nothing they could do about their mistress not minding the rude word.The child just stood with a bright smile, it wasn't until her special maid had tapped her that she came to her senses, seeing her behavior again, it was almost as if she was bewitched. "Allow me to introduce myself, I am Rebecca Nikolai, daughter of Archduke Nikolai of northern Moscow of Russia." Malicay, who looked hardly impre
Their friendship could be defined in one word, inseparable, wherever Rebecca went, so did Malicay. As they grew, the aristocrats who were thirsty for gossip slowly began to whisper about the story of a commoner and a princess who were slowly becoming more than just friends. Duke Nickolai overlooked this, to him it was the best gift his daughter had ever received, and her mother also agreed that it was the first time she's having such a lively expression, and if that was to ever happen then they would not hesitate to make their daughter happy regardless of society and culture.The two were always exchanging gifts, birthday gifts, celebrations gifts, congratulatory gifts and more. In the third year of their friendship, Nikolai and his wife Katherine were summoned back to Russia, they however left their daughter in the care of her aunt, Katherine's sister.
The couple's joy knew no bounds, since they were young and carefree nothing could absolutely come in between their happiness at the moment. At least that was what they believed. But fate had other plans for the both of them, they were just about to go through their toughest test, and face the cruel reality. The news has reached her parents by a letter from her aunt. They were in full support of it, for they had already grown fond of ths boy. "How would you allow such a thing." But there was one person who was against their union however, and his name was Daniel, he was Rebecca's older brother who was older than her by three years and who had an undying love for his sister. "He is a peasant." "And he loves your sister very much. She was the one who confessed to him first, she was very brave I must say." Nikolai admitted. It was a very spic
As promised, Daniel arrived in Austria, but that was only two months after he left home, from the gates, he could see just how happy his sister was, and he could tell that she has found a good match. At hearing of her brother's arrival, Rebecca rushed out to greet him, but he was only ever interested in one person, Malicay. "I would kike to have a word with him if you don't mind sister." That was the first thing he said upon meeting the two. Rebecca was already afraid, she kept biting her fingers from nervousness as her aunt and the maids tried to calm her down. Malicay sat nervously, his sweaty hands could not be controlled because of the pressure from her brother. "The princess is returning to Russia soon. There is to be a family celebration, and the princess and her fiance are expected to be together." Malicay's world did not slowly crumble but crashed in a instant. He could not move, his reasoning stopped and Malicay's tears slowly dropped, wettin
Today is my first day of being regular Mirabel, starting today I am no longer the Vampire queen, who's human, but a single mother. We arrived at a small town in Vienna, and I found out that Malicay had been born and had his entire childhood in this place.The place we moved into was Malicays' home, it was a beautiful house with a nice garden, its built with clay bricks to show it was really old, however it looks beautiful and modest, there's a fountain at the entrance and a huge tree with a swing, Ethan would love it here, only if he gets to stay here for a long time. Honestly, am not sure how long it'll be before he finds us, but am quite certain Richard won't let it slide.Gosh, it looks beautiful and well furnished, the floor was tiled with a wooden tile and the ceiling was wonderfully painted, it had a small bar but no tv.
Laughter and music plays through the elegant hall. Everyone danced to the rhythm of the waltz, everything seemed perfect and yet, one person remained who looked lonely even while being crowded by many. An average height, fair skinned red haired woman laughed with everyone with a mask of happiness but beneath that mask was a lonely woman. That woman was me.Today marked my twenty-first birthday and my father who was a man of luxury decided to hold what is supposed to be the most lavish birthday, however I could not feel a single ounce of happiness, rather I felt empty. "Adeline." My older sister called. She and my older brothers were bent on introducing me to what may seem to be potential husband candidates. The problem was I did not like any."Adeline, hurry up." Why did I have to be the
As much as I wanted to rip him apart, I could not move and I was still in the hands of this lunatic of a woman. "Well then let's get to work." He said while staggering. He walked up to a rock that was shaped oddly like a chair and sat down. "Since her majesty now has the heir to the throne out of the way, I believe that makes her the only pure blooded Ego and rightful queen seeing that Erika over here has given up the position already. So I have played my role." He said without any sense of shame or guilt."What about her?" Richard says, I was on the brink of tears seeing that he was not moved after seeing both his children dead. I thought we could start over. I made a mistake."You monster. How could you, you killed innocent c
Gah!I woke up dripping wet from cold sweat. "She's awake." A voice says. It was my father. I looked around and found fewer people than before, the twins, Nessa and dad, but where's Malicay and Daniel, I wondered."Martha, what happened to Martha." I asked but everyone looked away, they had a troubled look and most importantly they were sad.Vanessa moved forward and signalled father to let her speak. "By the time Malicay had arrived, she was already dead. The dagger that pierced through her heart was a silver dagger, I'm sorry." Again, she died again. I can't imagine how much I owe her, for taking care of Ethan, for the shelter she gave me in my previous life, and for being by my side. I owed
Delets.The myths describe him as cunning, slippery, smart, and devious. A master of chesh and a good strategist however no one could ever figure out what his true aim and purpose ever was, he was a being who moved according to his own will, no one could understand and control him. That being I speak of had planned to ruin my family from the very beginning.He wasn't just after one child but two, on one hand it was said that Thomas would bring my mother in law the throne an on the other Ethan was said to be a sacrifice for Thomas to ascend the throne but what those two had in common was that their birthday were foretold, one to Richard and the other to the queen. In short there was no curse, just a stage set up for an event. It was a marking. This strategy was simply killing two birds wit
I was only a couple of days away from my fortieth birthday, and since the queen hadn't shown up cause she was probably waiting for my passing, everyone lowered their guards. "Yes, we'll be there immediately." I heard Richard say as he walked into my room hurriedly with a troubled expression."What's going on?" I asked, there was no way I would not be troubled seeing him pancing to and fro the room. "Where are you going ?"He rushed up to my bed and kissed me on the cheek. "Emir has found a way around Delets curse this time, Ethan and I would go there and return immediately, but don't worry I've called for more security, even from the wolves so they would be more people to protect you when I'm gone." As he stood up to leave, I grabbed him b
Although we weren't able to find out a few more things relating to the fire incident, we were more cautious in making sure the children were safe. However at the same time, my curse was slowly becoming a nightmare to my life as it slowly spread. I had only a few weeks to live as I was turning forty soon, it was most likely that I would die on my birthday.Richard has been doing a lot of thinking about it, turning me into a vampire would still not help me, as Emir herself rendered it useless. "You don't look like you've been ageing like the rest of us." Vanessa said as she helped me out of bed.I stood next to a mirror and stared at myself, she was right, I looked like nothing had changed because I kept taking Richard's blood as supplement, to think I was going to die looking this young. "It's n
I didn't expect to meet his sister as I presumed both were dead but I was wrong, Malicay wasn't going from one place to another for nothing, he was gathering clues, it was due to this that he discovered his sister's survival, Emir was also brought here, from what he said, they each had a story to tell.Erika broke it down to us in a story she discovered while hiding from her mother.Apparently it all started when the queen, Malicays' mother, had to pass her throne to her husband because she was a woman and deemed unfit. She decided to change her fate and so she came up with a strategy. After searching for answers for many years, she met with Delets and made a deal with him.'I'll give you the power you
"Dad?"It was only natural for me to be confused. Out of everyone present in this room, he should be the least that knows but not only does he know what's going on, but my sister Vanessa knew as well, how did I know? It's because her cheeks turn red whenever she's caught in a lie. "I know you are startled as well, and believe me, it came as a shock to me to find out the dark secrets of your mother's family."Mother's family. That's right, we were called Daniel's. I'm of my brother's bloodline, the box father gave me had Daniel's face on it, and in it, I found that he was a vampire hunter.In sudden realisation, I turn around and face my brother what's looks away. 'You've made a huge mistake haven't y
Chapter 109.As I screamed and rolled, I felt many hands hold me down and I came to my senses, I’m still in my room. Am sure I went out this morning, was I really daydreaming? Cold sweat drops down my face and my body trembles each time I try to move, then a familiar voice echoes in the room. “What did you do to her this time?” It was one of the men who had arrived with Malicay last night. I couldn’t help but stare at him as I saw myself down to him, however I could not see his face properly, as my eyes felt heavy. “Answer me.” He yelled."Don't you dare yell at me, she's only suffering because of your stupid deal, or did you preharps forget, she's going to be forty this year. She has less than months to live." That was Richard's voice, I'm certain of it. But
