Aethelfrith's POV"Wait up, you are too fast, I can't catch up with you." I said to my best friend and brother, Leon while still trying to catch up with him."Why should I?See you at the house." He laughed then continued running.It was a daily routine for Leon and I to run round the forest every morning, we call it keeping fit but in reality we were just trying to train all our senses. I ran as fast as I could to get to the house before Leon. I entered the house, the maid giving me my face towel and bottle water, Leon following suit."That was a good run" Leon hit my chest playfully then chuckled."Yep, it could have been if you didn't cheat by using your powers ." I chuckled, dropping my face towel on the table."Aren't you going?" Leon aksed "Going where?" I asked him back"Today is your mom's death anniversary" Leon said "Ohh, that's right, today is really Lady Ambrosia's death anniversary but Leon you know I don't attend such occasions" I said, making a playful gesture with m

Aethelfrith's POVWe arrived at the event a little bit late, everyone was dressed in all black, mom's photography right from her childhood till her last picture was placed in every concern of the room. The room was decorated with her favorite colors and flowers.I was most shocked when I saw my own father and mother at the event."Didn't they hold theirs back at home?" Leon whispered to me "How would I know?, We are both here." I whispered back. We both walked towards them to greet them."My Lord and Queen Elisabela" Leon and I greeted in unison and bowed respectfully."I see, you have refused to come home" Father said looking directly at me."You could have atleast responded to our greetings first" I said, Leon pinched me on the hands.Father looked at me, challenging me to repeat myself again. I was about to let him know I don't fear him before mother stepped in."Aethelfrith sweetheart, we have missed you so much, when will you be home?." Queen Elisabela asked calmly."Soon mother

Aethelfrith's POV"A package is here for you" Leon shouted all the way from downstairs. I left my room, went downstairs to see what this package is all about."What's in the package?" I asked Leon"I wouldn't know, I haven't opened the package" Leon said, he opened the package. It was big picture frame, The picture on the frame was taken during my mom's anniversary. It was taken in the kitchen but I don't remember anyone apart from I and Tryamon in the kitchen. The picture shows us backing the camera."It's beautiful" Leon said still admiring the frame."It is but I don't recall anyone apart from the two of us in the kitchen that evening" I said still confused."Meaning you know her?" Leon asked"I don't really know her, I didn't even get to see her face but her voice was beautiful" I said to Leon remembering that evening and her."Do you like her?" Leon asked."How can I like someone I don't even know?" I asked back"There is a note at the back of the frame" Leon said handing the no

Aethelfrith's POV"She is here," I said to Leon."Who is here?" Leon asked as he moved closer to me."Tryamon," I said to Leon."How do you know that?" Leon asked, surprised."I can smell her, I can hear her talk and laugh." I told Leon.Without a second thought,I excused myself from the table and approached Tryamon. As I got closer, I noticed the same beautiful tattoo on her arm, just as I had seen in the picture, in my dreams and when I met her in the kitchen that evening"Tryamon?" I called out softly, unsure if it was really her.Tryamon turned toward me, her eyes meeting mine with a mix of surprise and curiosity. She recognized me, the man whose dreams she has been manipulating, but she hadn't expected to see me in person."Aethelfrith," she whispered, a smile playing on her lips. "I never thought we would meet like this." She smirked.I couldn't help but smile in return, relief washing over me. The connection I had felt was real, and now, finally, we stood face to face.As Tryam

Tryamon's POV"Aethelfrith, what a captivating name for a captivating vampire" I said to Bella, still sipping my wine."Who's that?" Bella asked curiously."The half blooded vampire I met at the death anniversary dinner yesterday" I told her.Bella raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued by my statement. She leaned in closer, her eyes shining with curiosity. "Tell me more, Tryamon," she urged.I took another sip of my wine, savoring the rich flavors before continuing. "Aethelfrith is unlike any vampire I've encountered before," I began, a hint of excitement in my voice. "His presence commanded attention from the moment he walked into the room. He exuded an air of mystery and allure."Bella's interest grew, and she leaned even closer, her eyes widening. "What was he like?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper."I didn't really see his face,he was behind me the whole time" I whispered to her.I"I want him," I announced outloud."Just like that?" Bella asked with confusion written all

Aethelfrith's POV"Should I call her, should I not call her" I contemplated to myself while plucking out the flowers in the garden."You have been doing this for hours" Leon said with anger and frustration evident in his voice.I glanced up from my task, a small smile playing on my lips. "Patience, Leon. Patience," I replied calmly. "I need to make sure everything is perfect before I reach out to her." Leon let out an exasperated sigh, crossing his arms over his chest. "You've been saying that for days, Aethelfrith. It's time to make a move or move on."His words struck a nerve, and I felt a pang of uncertainty in my chest. Was I overthinking things? Should I take a leap of faith and reach out to her? But what if she rejected me?I turned my attention back to the flowers, plucking a particularly vibrant blossom. The petals felt delicate in my hands, mirroring the fragility of my emotions."I can't help it, Leon," I confessed softly. "There's something about her that draws me in.

Crimson's POVAs I sat at the breakfast table in the palace, I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness. Queen Elisabela's suggestion to have breakfast here was a sign of the growing importance of my role in the royal family. Being betrothed to Prince Aethelfrith meant that this palace was becoming my second home, and soon I would officially become his wife.Turning to my father, a sense of determination filled me. I wanted to make the most of this opportunity and hasten the engagement and wedding process. With a smile on my face, I posed the question to my father, hoping he would agree."Father, why don't we hasten the engagement and wedding process?" I asked, my eyes shining with anticipation.My father looked at me with a mix of surprise and curiosity. He wanted to ensure that this was truly what I desired."Is that what you want, dear?" Father asked, his voice filled with genuine concern.I nodded my head confidently, a sense of certainty in my heart. "Yes, Fathe

Crimson's POVQueen Elizabela has been gone for minutes but it seems like hours, she promised to help but that is what she was going to do."Mother is taking so long from wherever she went to, I wonder where she is?" Leon groaned and started whining like a child."Leon, be patient, Queen Elisabela will be here soon," I assured but I wasn't even sure of what I was saying because nobody knows where she went."Queen Elisabela can't help us, only the king can help us," Tyramon said and we turned to look at her, the eyes in the rooms were like knives ready to attack if she said nonsense."The Queen would only become weak, extremely weak, something terrible might happen to her," Tyramon trembled as if she was terrified of something or someone."Why are you so sure of this?" I asked, I was curious, I still suspected her of being a fairy."I am well aware you are already taking responsibility for Aethelfrith disappearance because that is your mistake but will you also take responsibility for

Crimson's POV"Crimson! Am talking to you, who the actual fuck is Azrael!" Leon yelled.I was angry at the fact a spare prince dared to raise his voice at me but could not do anything because I needed him to save my Aethelfrith and my stupid right hand maid just say anything they want."Azrael is a prisoner, whom I have locked up in the underground dungeon," I said, with no emotions in my face or eyes."Why did you lock him up?" Tyramon asked."Hmmm, excuse me?" I questioned pretending I didn't hear what she was saying at first."Of course, she is Crown Princess Crimson so she goes around locking people who step on her feet," Leon scoffed. I was holding on to my last bit of patience."Leon!" I called out almost in tears of frustration."But he is locked up in the underground dungeon, so is it possible for him to do all this?" Katrina voiced her opinion."Meaning he isn't the one, someone has his back," Leon said,"I thought as much, the way he spoke with confidence," I said with pride

Crimson's POV I was confused as to who Leon was warning, and I wonder which fairy has entered the realm and who brought the fairy in. We all arrived at the library, it was dusty and extremely dark, "I didn't know we had this kind of library in the palace." "You don't know anything about this Realm and you are to become the queen of this Realm, I truly pity Aethelfrith and the future of this Realm," Leon said but his attention was on the dusty books on the shelf. "I have never been shown this part of the palace before," I pouted. "Really, that is the more reason why you should always look around, father money keeps getting wasted on your Queen's training," Leon scoffed. "The king's money is getting wasted, that's the reason she has us," Katrina said and I smiled at her. "Did you hear that?" I clicked my tongue. "Of course, I did, you better watch your back, someone else might become the queen," Leon said and a smirk appeared on his face. I looked at Tyramon, "I am the only Quee

Crimson's POV We waited for Leon to bring whatever it was from under the bed and he eventually did but he used a cloth to bring it out. "Leon, what is that?" I asked. "I wonder what they teach you in your Queen lesson," Leon said, his voice filled with mockery and amusement. "It's a gem, a rare one at that, wherever this gem is left somewhere, something bad will surely happen, someone is bound to get hurt or even worse dies," Leon said, dropping the gem on the table. "I know This gem but not everyone can touch it, except the person who controls it," Katrina said. "That's why you were burnt Crown Princess Crimson, because the gem was used to touch you," Leon explained. "Not everyone can acquire the gem except some special type of people," Leon said and turned to look at Tyramon. "Special type of people, do you mean the fairies?" Katrina asked and Leon nodded his head. "How do you know all these?" A curious Rosa asked Katrina. "They were taught in Crown Princess Crimson Queen's

Crimson's POV "Crown Princess Crimson, where is Aethelfrith?" Tyramon asked, I stared in confusion "He was there, he was lying there just a moment ago," I said in Total confusion. "Crown Princess Crimson, weren't you asleep for sometime?" Rosa asked. "Yes, yes, I fell asleep, when I fell asleep he was there but when I woke up, he wasn't," I explained to everyone present in the room. "How does that make any sense!" Tyramon raised her voice. "Are you raising your voice at the Crown princess of this Realm?" Rosa asked "And even more, because her husband is missing?" Katrina added. "Maybe he regained consciousness," I thought out loud. "Yes maybe he did and left the room," Tyramon said "Then let's go check for him," Katrina said. "We should check his room first," Rosa said. They were about living the room when I stopped them. "Wait, if Aethelfrith left here on his own, he would have arranged the bed, he is that neat and he was too weak to even move a finger on his own," I said,

Crimson's POV"They are dead? How?" "Crown Princess, I don't know, I just met them dead," the guard said trembling."Explain what you saw," I said calmly."After dropping Crown prince Aethelfrith in your room, I went to my duty post, when I got there it was so quiet and I saw traces of blood on the floor, I went further then I saw the guard who was with Crown prince Aethelfrith dead on the floor," the guard explained."Then what about Azrael?" I asked, my curiosity piqued."He was chained, there was blood all over his body and yes his mouth too, the guard who chained him up was dead too""The guards on duty were killed but Azrael wasn't, explain to me how does it make sense," I said, pacing the room."Crown Princess Crimson," Rosa called out, when I turned I saw the guard was on the floor looking lifeless, Rosa and Katrina were by his side.I rushed to them, I put my hand on his nose to confirm if he was still breathing, "he is alive," I breathe a sigh of relief."Blo…blood," Katrina

Crimson's POV"Tyramon," Aethelfrith called out weakly,"Tyramon?" I scoffed weakly, Aethelfrith called out to her again weakly before he fell unconscious."Take him to my Chambers immediately," I ordered the guard weakly, Katrina and Rosa followed behind them."Tyramon, Tyramon, Tryamon!" I called out angrily. I let out a scream, "Why did he call out to her? What is his relationship with her!" I said beating hard on my chest, I sat on the floor and wailed.I hadn't realized time had gone by, so I stood up and walked to my Chambers. When I got to my Chamber, I met Rosa and Katrina taking care of Aethelfrith."How is he doing?" I asked calmly"Crown prince Aethelfrith's health keeps deteriorating, what do we do now?" Katrina asked"I think we should call the physician, what do you think, Princess Crimson?" Rosa asked."Princess Crimson," Rosa tapped me on the shoulder."Hmm, what is it?" I asked, utter confusion written on my face."Didn't you hear what I had said earlier?" Rosa asked,

Crimson's POVI went down to the underground dungeon with Katrina and Rosa following behind with trays of food and ointment for Aethelfrith's wound."Did you find out about Azrael?" I asked Rosa."Not yet but give me time, Crown Princess Crimson," Rosa pleaded."Hmm, okay, two days," I nodded my head"Thank you so much Crown Princess Crimson," both Katrina and Rosa said in unison."I thought I said not to come in here again Crown Princess Crimson?" Azrael asked the moment I stepped my feets inside the underground dungeon."Azrae!" Katrina called out."How dare you speak to Crown Princess Crimson, the Crown princess of this Realm in that tone?" Rosa said before I could say anything."Kneel, now!" I said but Azrael stood firm looking at me."Are you deaf or something?" I took a step closer to him."I am only following the king's order," Azrael said, his voice unwavering and bold."Who am I?" I asked"The Crown princess of this Realm," Azrael answered, and I shaked my head."And soon to
