Chapter 14: Black night and Snow
I called you here because I have something really important to tell you Anna, Sophie's father is coming to Rdyne, you know he wasn't here for the engagement and only had plan to come for the wedding in the next three month , but seems like he's going to come very soon and my dear he's coming for you , he is angry that I called his daughter an ugly woman , but for real Anna , don't you agree with me , I can't marry someone who is not beautiful, It would affect the future monarch of this country, I did it for the country, but everyone thinks I'm being unreasonable, I guess they'll never understand, because they are not the king of this country.
Annabelle looked speechless," Your Majesty if I'll be honest, Princess Sophie is actually very pretty, I'm surprised you're saying she's ugly " Lucas looked at her and said " oh another blind human , I tell you , that girl Sophie, she is an epitome of ugliness, I guess you won't see it because you, yourself.... you're ugly, I mean what can I say it's no surprise ugliness complimenting ugliness, I understand, I really do Annabelle, I can't blame you , but that's not why I actually called, I want to tell you that as from this moment you are going to be subjected to death , um....too scary not like death like that more like threats which could of course lead to your death because all humans are soo weak and can die easily" Lucas said.
Your majesty, why would I be subjected to death , it's not like I offended anybody or did something bad , Annabelle asked. Lucas who was surprised by her question immediately knew that she's not the type who's use to the palace life which means she's not some princess from another country, because he's really trying to get her identity, she looks like she's from a noble family when he saw her at that banquet in Fortfield.
Oh Anna with what I've said don't you know that Sophie's father is going to be after your neck after all you've disgraced his precious daughter in public with your beauty, which makes me realize that man is actually dumb , maybe he should see you first before he starts sending some assassin to eliminate you , he'll know you're just slightly better than his ugly daughter.... Damn, ugliness everywhere, when I'm I really going to see a really beautiful woman who'll make my heart beat.
"Your majesty I get it , I am very ugly, not your type , and I must say , the feeling is mutual I also don't see you as my type , pardon me If I sound rude king Lucas but what's the main reason you called me hear, To mock my ugliness?, If then your majesty I would like to take my leave, Annabelle said in anger.
Woah, you're really bold to talk to your king like that, okay my main point is that I want to assign two guard , who would be with you almost all the time , they would be females don't worry, and they're actually vampires so you're In safe hands, I don't know if the king of Fortfield would send vamps or humans to kill you I can't take any risk....
"Black night and snow come in", Luc said two ladies came in, they looked really scary they were both wearing black from head to toe, Lucas introduced both of them to me , he said this is black night one of the strongest that has been with me for five decades now , um... Is that not fifty years she looks like she's just twenty five years or something thought Anna , it's seems like Luc could read her thoughts, he said remember she's a vamp , she might look young but she's actually not your mate probably your granny's age , he chuckled she's one hundred and six years. "What?!" Anna was surprised, she's one hundred and six years and she looks soo young and energetic?
Actually from our vampire perspective she's still young, you can only be considered old when you've seen three centuries that's three hundred years,not like old more like middle age or something, so this is black night, Luc said .
"I greeted her, hi black night ,I'm Annabelle" she replied knelling with a leg and bowed her head and said " it's an honour to serve you my lady ", I was actually flustered "No , No , it's fine , you don't have to knell black night, then she stood up , now that I can see her very close , her eyes seems emotionless, it was devoid of emotions , her black hair covered half of her face in a cool way that made it looks like she's meant to hunt people who messes with her , her whole aura was soo dark , that I had to take a step backwards when it got to a point , there was a red and black tattoo of a dragon, on her neck , it's looked like the sign of Rdyne , it's mostly represent our might as a country , legends says people who have that tattoo are born with it and descendents of the dragon of that , the that the first king of Rdyne controlled, I'm really surprised I can see a descendant of the dragon Anna said in her mind .
Lucas was shocked" this fool , where did she hear this barbaric lie from , oh God ,she has a lot to learn, I guess I'll have to explain to her then .
"Oh Anna , I see you're Looking at this dragon tattoo with some interest , do you also want it ?"
" Me?, Is it possible for me to have it ? , I thought..., " You thought? This is the seal of the vampires who work only for crown , this tattoo is the oath of their loyalty if they break it they would be killed by the dragon , that why it's drawn around her neck , some choose to have it around their heart or back where the spine is , I know right?, It's cool isn't it .... Anyways let me introduce snow to you, your second guard.
As you can see she also has the dragon tattoo on her , not because she's some descendant or anything but because she's part of the Dragon shadow guards , they are both sisters that's why it's drawn in the same place, the neck... So this are your guards get use to them Anna , only them can help you when I'm not around.
"Hi snow , I said , she also did the same thing like her sister black night, it's just that...the name snow really fits her , her skin was really as white as snow , I mean real white , like really really white , she looks really pale like a ghost , even her lips that was supposed to have a bit of pink or something was also looking pale, she's actually very pretty, but it's just her skin colour and she seems really cold too...
Her eye are really cold , she really deserves the name snow.
I'll take me leave" Your Majesty " Annabelle said, when she was going the two guards followed her , no, no need to follow me I'll be fine , I think it's still safe inside the palace isn't it ?
Oh what a fool you are Anna , the most dangerous place is the palace , okay?? Never forget that ... Follow her, Said king Lucas.
