She went down at about six o'clock to help with the cooking. As she walked down the hall, she couldn't help but stare at her bedroom door. The first day she was here, she was already thinking a lot. A lot was coming to her mind. Especially with why he brought her there yet he doesn't talk to her. She took slow steps as if she was trying to keep from making a noise, even on the way down the stairs. As she passed the living room, she saw a small picture frame with a gold liner. Actually, almost everything there is glowing. If not gold, it is silver. Her attention returned to the picture frame and she stopped to stare at it. She just noticed it now. Maybe she hasn't observed much before. Her chest throbbed at the sight of a familiar face alone in the photograph. Those pairs of eyes. Deep, piercing, hideous, dangerous, and commanding. Pursed bloody red lips. Black, messy hair and pale skin. His well-sculptured pointy nose. And how his brows creased in annoyance. Even with his snobbish
A month ago, In that one month, I did everything to get stronger. I follow all the orders and Acheron has me do it. Even to this day, I still haven't talked to him and asked the real reason why we left at midnight; why we still needed to stay away. It was also not difficult for me to avoid Acheron after we were together in the garden or in the room where we often dueled, because he himself became more aloof. I no longer serve him food; he rarely comes down and shows up. As time went on, I became too busy with repetitive tasks, so as time went on I got used to it. It's not that difficult, so I can do it easily. Not like before. I had just recovered from cleaning the garden when I met Aunt Sally on the stairs. "Are you leaving?" I looked down at the bag he was carrying. That's pretty big. Obviously, he won't be staying here for a few days. His neighbor had sent him a letter earlier.I will be gone for about three days, so I will leave the work I will leave to you first. I'm sorry hij
Raenerys couldn't help but feel something inexplicable after remembering things about where and how she and Acheron had met, how he had aided her to grow stronger, changed her into the girl she just wanted to be but almost believed she could never be, and what had been the work and events of a year together.A year ago, everything was different. And now that she looks back, she realizes that a year can do a lot for someone.She could also clearly remember being told to be careful of Acheron, but one thing she didn't have a chance to know in the past was the reason why Acheron hated his own family. Could it be that both of them are really the same? But whatever it is, she'll know it soon. All she needs to do now is push Acheron away from her to stop his feelings because she cannot really accept that. She couldn't help but wish for them to revert to the way they were before they first met. How Acheron used to treat her was so that it would be easier, so that she wouldn't have to struggl
Raenerys didn't know how to act when Nevil was around. Her rage was trying to escape her control and that shouldn't happen. She might kill the man in no time, but that was not in her plan.The next day, Nevil called for her to talk. At first, it seemed like he didn't want to face the man but he had no choice. He headed to his library and found Nevil busy writing a book. When he felt her presence, he put down his book to look at her with his tender eyes."Are you okay?" he did not understand why the man had cared about him. But he did not reveal that he was irritated by his concern."I'm fine, I-I'm sorry earlier. I'm just tired because I just got back from the fight and I'm going straight here." It nodded as if it knew about that."I heard about Sera, she told me everything. And since then, the North has become quiet again, the rogues have disappeared. And I know it's your doing that the North is at peace again. I never imagined you'd help us this much. The council wants to thank you
Sera's hands were trembling as she met Acheron again. This time, it wasn't in the same spot. They met just near Nevil's house. She didn't expect to see Acheron hanging around Nevil's house. It was very brave of him to wander there for reasons unknown to her."What are you doing here, Acheron? If you want me to tell you an update, well, I'm sorry! Nevil doesn't have any plans now. Raenerys already settled about the rogues; they're not coming back. I don't know what happened. But because of that, Nevil has no plans for now but his marriage with Raenerys." If earlier there was no emotion or reaction on Acheron's face, now she saw how the man's brow furrowed."When is the wedding?" This is a serious question again."I didn't know; Nevil doesn't say anything, but knowing him, he wants to do things immediately." She said, which means she knows it's true."Then, why don't you leave?" was also Nevil's question to her."He's getting married; you'll have no more room or use in his house." Sera
Sera was unable to answer Raenerys' questions. That's why she left her not knowing what to say. Sera was probably shocked after knowing that Raenerys knew that much. Another thing is that she is probably still shocked from what Acheron found out which she confirmed by telling her the exact story Acheron said."Raenerys," as soon as she entered Nevil's house, she immediately opened her eyes to him. It looks like the man is going somewhere."Yes? Need anything?" he roamed his eyes on her face before continuously walking."I'll meet some council members. Are you okay to be here? Aren't you bored? Or do you want to come with me?" the change in Nevil's treatment of her since her return was really noticeable. But she didn't pay attention to that and thought more about what he said."Alright, I'll come with you.""Well then, after you." he gestures the way, that's why she walked there first. They met Sera who was surprised because they seemed to be leaving."Are you leaving? Can I come with
Raenerys approached Nevil as if nothing had happened and he could hardly breathe as she grabbed his waist to stand him up. The two of them couldn't help but stare at each other."Did I hurt you?" she immediately recovered and quickly shook her head."No, I'm fine, we have to leave now.""Are you guys done? Is Nevil okay?" She turned around when Sera peeked so she immediately got into the driver's seat to drive. Nevil immediately rode next to her sister's side and even though she could feel Nevil's eyes on her, she started driving, faster compared to Nevil's driving earlier.“Why the hell are these insurgents attacking North?” she heard Nevil's voice asking that. None of them knows the answer. She's not a very good friend of insurgent vampires so she has no attachment to them and she does not know the plans and actions of the insurgents.She was deep in thought until they arrived in front of the house of one of the council members. In front of them is this very high gate painted black.
"What do you want, Acheron? And why the hell are you doing this? Didn't we already talk? Are you really not going to stop taking action the way you want without informing me?" Raenerys couldn't help but be annoyed."That's why I excused you for a talk," he said calmly as if he had done nothing wrong, and that enraged her more."Yeah, you fucking excused me. What will those people think? They will wonder why you want to talk to me, or worse, they might suspect that we know each other. Did you even think about that?" she frustratedly combed her hair, trying to control herself not to choke Acheron to death right at that moment."Why are you so nervous? Relax, Raenerys. I am not stupid. I know what I am doing, and there are so many reasons why I wanted to talk to you. Actually, that part is not a lie; there is a reason that's really why I want to talk to you." She gritted her teeth and looked at him."And what the hell is that?" she asked emphatically. Acheron remained calm as he shifted
