All Chapters of Beatrice and the Lord: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Chapter 22The day was already getting dark, as the bell that was hung on the tower of the castle had begun to ring.Beatrice sighed.She had already told the Coachman to stay back at home but there was no way she'd be able to go back home again.Turning to Lady Herbert that was done packing, she smiled..."Such a hard-working lady, it's quite a shame I don't have a brother to woo you," Beatrice said."Ha, don't even mention it. Herbert does not want to get married hen e the delay. She has refused so many suitors all in the name of 'not the right time and not the right person.' Lady Yuan said.The bell rang again louder than the first, making the two women stand up."It is time we leave, we wouldn't want the Lord to come search for us, would we?" Herbert asked as she grabbed the small bag.Beatrice nodded as she picked up her bag and they began to leave the meadow.It was already past Eight when they got to the castle.Beatrice had decided to go with Lady Herbert since they lived in t

Division 24The man looked confused."The deaths? It has been peaceful in this area."Beatrice frowned."How so." She mumbled to see a figure leave the church through the other door close to a burner."Ha! Something is burning." She said, and the father turned to have his eyes widened.They both walked to the pulpit of the church and behold a book was on the burner while the fiery fire burned.Father Jude had gone to bring water to quench the fire and when the fire that had been burning was quenched, Beatrice squinted her eyes to see that three of the books in the burner had burnt to ashes but one had not burned..not a single scratch on its body."Is it your father?" She asked, to have the father shake his head."We have never had such a book in the church before. It is said to be a way itches' book that is not supposed to be held. A woman was burnt to death last month for possessing such books." The father said to have Beatrice nod.Then how come was it in the church?Turning to the d

Chapter 26"The church close to the library?" The Lord asked.Beatrice nodded, wondering how the Lord knew about the church.The church didn't look like a church at all, lawns and weeds had begun to grow around the church making her wonder if at all.. anyhow goes there to worship."I see." The Lord said, narrowing his eyes at the burning bush."What do you want to do with that bush Lord..." She trailed off and gave him a knowing smile.The man sighed."I want to clear out the entire vampire race with this flower." He answered to have her smile."How good of you, to burn all and take just one. If it took one to kill us all, I bet we would be no more ever since." Silence reigned between them as they both watched the fire."You shouldn't have come here, it is not a place to trespass." The Lord said to have Beatrice snort."And here I was thinking it is a place for lovers.""My my...I never thought Miss Beatrice has taken a fancy to me. Why would I refuse a lady." The Lord said to have B

"Ahhhhh!" A scream tore out from a little boy's mouth, as he held the iron firmly not letting go as he was being pushed forward. "Kill him, kill him...cleanse the quarters of his demonic powers. Kill him! Tear his body, stake him to get back out ancestral powers." The people shouted as they gathered around the fire."He's just a little boy mama, you can't stand still and watch them kill him.""Quiet Now! It is unholy for a woman to give birth to something like this Aras. He will die and our ancestral powers will dominate the land." The older woman hushed her daughter as she walked forward with candlelight"We need a cleansing, and to have our altar cleansed of the demonic powers we have to sacrifice one of our own...one of our own and the blood of the others to keep the power flowing." The older woman yelled, not caring about the tears of the little one that was said to be her grandchild."Cleanse the quarters!" The people kept yelling as they packed more sticks and wood to build a f

Chapter 30Beatrice lifted the apple-like map and frowned when she looked down the floor to see apples around...close to the small tree that had the signs on it."Isn't this the same path?""Father Jude, do you think they might have shifted the place?""It says to have Patience. It is here somewhere." Picking up her dress that was sweeping the ground filled with dry leave, she began to walk to the forest where the Lord and the rest were going as well.The forest was a beautiful place that had large trees with canopies that covered the sky.Birds chirping could be heard as they walked deeper into the forest, following the map.They got to a place and Beatrice stopped to see the Lord staring at a tree."Is there a problem Milord?" "Hmm. This tree seems off. This is the first time seeing such a huge tree in Viscoria." The Lord answered, staring at the wide roots it had.It had long roots and branches that came out of the ground, making the surroundings look like an evil yard."Father J
