Lily is standing in front of the window of her room. From there, the Great Field of her father's clan can be seen. It's an open field for practices. The men of her house and the clan army practice their war skills there in due time. Even in this hour, men are practising, maintaining a safe distance. Her father, Raphael Quoren, trains the whole army himself.
Lily is lost in her thoughts looking outside the window as an open green field comes into her vision where three young men are practising hard among those soldiers. They are Lily's younger siblings. Lily is the firstborn of her family where women are just decorations. Well..whom can she blame? The women of this house are satisfied with being sophisticated ladies and ordering around the servants.
Lily frowns her eyes thinking of her foolish mother who is the perfect example. She keeps shaking her head to avoid harsh thoughts about her mother. She will never change even if Lily tries to make her understand of her posi
Erin wakes up hearing a knock at the wooden door of her room."Miss! It's morning. Please get ready and come down to have breakfast." Polin's shaky and kinda angry voice floats inside the big room and hits Erin's eardrums.Erin whose eyes are still half-opened due to lack of sleep, jumps out from her bed, suddenly remembering about last night."When the hell did I fall asleep? How could I!" She keeps rubbing her hair, trying to remember what really happened. The last thing she remembers is that she was standing near the door, after putting the lights on. How did she end up on her bed?"Ugh! My head..." Erin rubs her forehead in pain. Suddenly getting up from her sleep has caused a drastic pressure on nerves. She is yearning for coffee again. But where she can get that he
Edward and Serena are sitting in the dining room facing each other. Polin is serving their breakfast as they are quietly consuming their food. She is also matching their pace of silence. No sound can be heard even if she is pouring tea in their cups or putting a plate on the table made of the glass itself. Since they are both impure, tea doesn't cause any harm. And somehow it gives strength to Serena even if her condition isn't that well enough.....Edward rolls his eyes up and keeps staring at his aunt. "No response, huh?" Edward sighs feeling tired from the burden of this heavy atmosphere. Also, the weather is kinda cold today. Well, it's not like Edward needs to say anything to Serena. She might already know what's going on inside Edward's head. Whether you call it her power or her observations on Edward for ages, she knows Edward better than anyone.But Edward isn't somewhat less than her and as much as he knows his aunt, she won't say a thing when she is conflicte
"Dear Lord! Please keep my daughter safe. I never asked anything from you. But this poor mother is begging you just this time. Please, please!! Don't send me empty-handed." A solitary mother is pleading before the sculpture of crucified Jesus.Venessa stops crying and opens her closed eyes, tilts her head up to look at Jesus with her red, crying eyes. The whole prayer hall is endeavoured by darkness and the light of the candles lit on the altar which is near death, fighting against the darkness giving it all. The white roses kept on the altar have started wilting.A four-pointed crucifix is standing proudly behind the candles and roses. It consists of an upright post and a single crosspiece to which Jesus's arms are shown to be nailed. There's an additional third crossbar to which the feet are nailed. There's a spear wound in His ribs and his whole body is cove
"Master! Please don't be angry. I had to cancel the mission and send the squad back. We can't just keep focusing on catching a vampire when so many vampires are going missing!! Master, listen to me!" Oliver is running behind Rowan to catch up to him. Somehow he can't maintain his pace with him and suddenly trips on the slippery floor. But Rowan doesn't stop for him, rather walks forward towards his chamber.Oliver gets up slowly and cleans himself thoroughly. " This is getting hard!" Letting out a sigh, he continues his stalking mission.Rowan and Oliver had gone to catch the Lord of Vampire Region clan, Edward Frost with a full squad under the Count Lord authority. They first charged at the Riders' Luck club. And unfortunately, Rowan killed Kevin there. After that Rowan told the squad to scatter all over the area and find Edward! It was really a chaotic situat
"Father, I beg of you!" Fiona fell on her father's cold feet. She started crying over them.But the old man standing in front of her got annoyed and moved from his position, shoving his daughter aside. "I won't stake my honour even if you are my only child! You are marrying Rowan and that's final!!"The old man was about to leave the room, leaving his destitute daughter behind who was crying embracing herself. But he turned back hearing a cracked voice, "Father!! I....I am pregnant with his child! Please, I...beg you! Have mercy..""What??!!!"" I am pregnant with Oliver's child...." Fiona averted her eyes from her father. She could feel his raging eyes glaring at her." How!! How could you tarnish my honour like this?" The o
"So....that's what it is!"Serena looks at Erin seriously. Erin's expression is so bland that she is finding it hard at reading her mind. Somehow, she is getting obstructed in doing so. As if the flow between her and Erin's mind has been broken by some power.On the other hand, Edward is trying to avoid eye contact by keeping his eyes closed. It seems someone is trying to be neutral."Are you sure, aunt Serena?""Well, as I said before, it’s just a guess. The only story that goes with your life.""Only similar thing is that my mom's name matches the woman. Nothing else! And if the Count Lord really wanted to marry my mom then why did he leave her in the first place?""It&rsq
" Shi...shit!!! I'm..feeling thirsty." Edward is sweating a lot as he touches his throat and squeezes it hard.Erin is sitting beside him, listening to Serena with full attention. They are discussing the link between Count Lord Rowan and Erin's father. Well...it's just a guess of Serena. However, this theory is still baseless. And even Edward knows that!!He also wants to join them in their serious chit chat. But he is feeling down suddenly! In his case feeling down means thirst for blood!!"Shit! The medicine!! Is it because..." Edward peeks at Erin who is sitting elegantly and looking straight towards Serena. The serious look in her eyes changes the old version of Erin in Edward's memory. However, his eyes are lingering around her naked neck."CONTROL!!!" Edward scolds
Edward is sucking Erin's blood as if it's a free drink in a cafe. He can't even hear Erin's painful moans since he has lost his sanity to think properly. Erin has tried her best to push him away, but a hungry beast is more powerful than careless prey! "Nngh...STOP!" Edward bites harder on Erin's neck. Blood is flowing down from the openings. Edward can feel the sweetness of Erin's fresh and warm blood. The smell is stirring his heart and he can feel his inner urge of devouring Erin. He implants a kiss on her bare chest as he has pulled the strings of her blue gown. It's so silky that it gets torn by just a slight pull. Erin can feel Edward's cold hands trying to reach inside the gown. A turned-on body is getting wrapped around by cold hands as if a snake is wrapping around a rose. There's beauty but yet it's scary! Edward pulls the whole gown, only her down part is hidden under some fine silk clothes. The nude part is lying on the ground and huffing. Her heavy breathing and blood f
Dracula Castle, Romania. A few days later after ending the war…The lords have gathered to discuss an important issue and that is “Who will be the next Count Lord?” Erin isn’t interested in it at all. She’s just happy to see Edward and others are fine. Even Ian has recovered from his injuries. So there’s no need to be getting involved furthermore after hearing the hateful words that are thrown at her. Moreover, some people don’t wish her to become their master. Erin glares at Raphael who can barely hold his grin. Uriel, the culprit behind this ruckus, is sitting beside him and grumbling about being chained. His punishment will be decided today. However, it doesn’t seem like he will be receiving the death penalty, thanks to certain someone. It doesn’t matter to Erin. Although she agrees with the fact that Uriel is the reason behind the war, she can’t shake off the feeling that her very existence is also a threat to the whole community. That’s why she has made up her mind! "My decis
-Howard’s dead! Do you realise what it means? He’s no longer with us! Will you take responsibility for him?... This! THIS WASN’T OUR FIGHT, TO BEGIN WITH! Why do we have to suffer? A man shouts in anger before he bursts into crying. Obviously, he’s frustrated as much as he’s sad about losing someone important to him. He wishes to keep complaining, but his words are getting stuck in his throat. Some comforting voices float around the air and make their way to Erin’s ears. She doesn’t know for how long she has been sleeping, but it feels like ages now that her muscles are sore. Although she can barely open her eyes, she tries to find out the owner of that angry voice. However, she fails repeatedly and gives up in the end. -Bill is right! We’re dragged into this mess when we aren’t supposed to be involved. A girl’s voice! It’s familiar and yet distant all of a sudden. Not long ago, this person was the one who stood up for Erin! Then…why is it sounding strange to her? After all, what’s
"Le..let me..GO!""Fufufu! How does it feel to get crushed on? Is it amusing?" Rowan, who is now possessed by Orus, gets closer to Erin's face which has turned red since she can't breathe. While trying her best to escape from his grip, Erin has no choice but to listen to his nonsense.Surprisingly, Rowan stops talking all of a sudden and keeps observing her before saying, "So weak! Can't think of a reason why you were chosen to bear the 'Dragon's fate'. So pitiful for someone who upholds both the power of God and the Devil. Tch!" "What's this stupid demon talking about?" Erin isn’t insane to wonder about such lousy conversation while her lifeline is about to get cut. She keeps thinking of a way to get out but finds none. Only the crazy laughter of Rowan rings in her ears as he exclaims in joy, "I'm feeling so good right now!" His grip becomes tighter than before as he sniffs Erin's neck in a swoop. "Delish!" "I sa...id...Fuck Off!" "SHHH!!!! Tch! Ahh...my ears! Can't you scream a
"Do you think they can handle it?" "You worry a lot, old man. Relax! Master can finish the enemy with one blow!" "If it was that easy, I wouldn't have worried about it." "Sheesh! It's hard to ensure you. Well, we'll see that for later. For now, I've to take you to a safe place. Otherwise, the master will kill me!" Bill runs faster towards the heart of the forest. Soon the battle ground vanishes from Julius's eyes as he looks back to monitor the situation and yet the sound of clashing swords isn't disappearing. As if the whole world is bearing witness to today's incident. Julius couldn't help it when he was forced to leave Edward's side. Rowan inflicted a heavy injury on him which almost caused him to faint due to loss of blood. The terror in Edward's eyes is unforgettable! Even his men were terrorized. Rowan was extremely powerful as if the news of him being sick was nothing but a nonsense spouted as a joke. His physical strength was surpassing the whole clan. It was nothing li
"This is getting out of hand!""We should lure them towards the open field. The training ground is narrow enough to make moving hard for us.""But what to do about this rapid fire?!" Ario shouts in irritation. He can barely block the bullets with a thin shield and yet he's trying his best. The two other men are also struggling. Erin can't blame them when she isn’t even in shape to fight anymore. Rather, she says, "I've got an idea. Let's split! One party will distract them while the other makes a run for the field."After a small pause, Ario replies with a soft nod, "Sounds great to me. I'll help you to climb.""No, wait!" Erin disrupts Ario who is about to pick her up and suggests, pointing at the two men, "Let them move before us."The two men seem bewildered. However, there's no time to spare in argument. They both agree immediately and make a long jump for the roof while Ario and Erin are backing them up. The enemies are trying to corner them more than before. Due to the lack of
"Lan! Is there any way where I can kill Orus without harming him?" "Not that it's impossible, but you’re not capable of pulling that off yet." "Meaning?" "Simple! Without the help of Mandira, you can't do it." Erin recalls her time when she was stuck in that endless world. Among those seven dragons, Mandira was the one who didn’t have any kind of supernatural power that could be seen and yet her power surpassed others. She's a dragon who uses her powers through tarot cards. It may seem funny but she has the ability to see the opposite side of her cards and pull out a suitable one. Her dragon powers are installed in those cards, so she can make wishes come true by using them. Erin had the opportunity to witness her power. Unlike Orus or other people who can manipulate someone with the help of words or other means, Mandira is unable to do that. When she learnt that her powers didn’t have any physical form, she tried the tarot cards as an easy means. Her mother was a gypsy and she u
“Whoa, what’s that?” “Is that Lord Uriel? Why’s he flying?!” “Don’t tell me! After Master Rowan, now another legend?” “Unlike the master, his wings are so black and shiny. Just like a bat. Isn’t that gorgeous?” “Yeah! But, doesn’t he look kind of different than usual? Is he the one who just broke the underground dungeon where that woman is kept?” “You bet!” “What could he be doing there?” “Don’t know, but…Something doesn’t feel right.” The castle guards are fussing
"My lord, you should leave now. There's a hidden door behind the second staircase which will lead you to the secret dungeon." Oliver whispers to Edward while fighting nearby. He further assures, "We'll be watching your back. So, hurry!" Edward grins at him. Taking his last line as a joke, he says, "Rather watching my back, you should hold your men at first. You look like you’re struggling quite a bit here to need my men's support." Oliver can't believe Edward acting arrogantly when someone's life's in jeopardy. He remembers a saying, "Arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand" and it truly applies to him. Unfortunately, he can't say it to his face! Composing himself, Oliver politely replies to Edward, "My lord, you’re right. I'm unworthy and that's why I need some time to strengthen the bond between me and my men. Would you kindly
“Where did I keep it?”“Hurry up, Oliver!!”“Can’t you shut your mouth for a while?”“TCH!”Keeping the door slightly open, Ario gets out of the room to guard it. Thankfully, everyone is busy discussing the rare vampire that they don’t have the time in hand to look after the castle. The rummaging sound through the papers is irritating Ario, but he can’t make a sound while Oliver is busy looking for the documents. They’re from Willow who is known as Uriel’s informer. Or maybe was! He’s missing since Oliver left the castle, not even a trace of his dead body!It’s surpris
