Moon Lovers: Craving For My Fake Vampire Mate

Victoria's Death

Ch-10

"There is a way…" Eudora exclaimed suddenly.

"How, your highness?" Celia asked.

"Now is not the time to meet her. We will meet after Lenora's coronation," Eudora said with a serious face. Her irises turned red from black. Celia knew her master was going to execute something fatal.

Lenora felt some weird feeling swirling in her body which she never felt. Her lady-in-waiting flinched at her sight for a brief second when Lenora looked at her. But she looked at her daringly acting as if she wasn't scared. 

"Why am I acting like this?" Lenora murmured, falling to the ground.

"My Lady, Please get up and sleep on the bed," Celine said.

"Hmm…" Lenora nodded and went to bed. Her head was filled with complicated thoughts. Not only Eudora but also she noticed the changes in her body. Just like Victoria… her thirst for blood grew. She wondered what exactly happened to her on that day. The only key was Victoria. But she was dead already. What can she do?

But if something happened to her and Victoria it means a person was involved in this. That person can be the key. But who was that key person who could be answered for all her questions? She needs to find them. But how?

She prayed to God to give a single clue to find the truth. A single clue could change her life in a moment.

Two days passed…

In the two days, Eudora kept her words. People who were disrespected were injected with Boswellia directly in their hearts, their hearts were contaminated before they lost their lives. This created terror in the hearts of others.

Even Lenora was surprised at this stunt pulled by her mother. She never expected that her mother would go to this extent just to give what she asked.

If her mother pulled this cruel stunt, then it only means she was planning to do something big. Lenora knew that today was going to be a big day. After all, it's her coronation day.

She would be recrowned as the princess of the Vampire kingdom. In front of the people who pointed their fingers at her calling her a murderer, bad omen, undeserved, and many more. Can she face these people?

Sitting in front of her mirror, she looked at herself for the nth time. Everyone thinks that she was greedy and ready to gobble the position. But only she knew the responsibilities and the weight of the position. After all, she was once a princess. And now… she will be a princess again. She fisted her hands, digging her nails into her palms, making her palms bleed. But because of vampire abilities, the wounds healed in seconds.

The beautiful face which she was seeing in the mirror was not her. The real her has mysteries that need to be solved. The real her has scars. There was one certain scar that made her stay away from the world. Can she face that world which abandoned her? Can she face the world who believed her as a murderer? Will they accept her?

Even though she acted as if she didn't care, she cared. After all, she was once a human. Unlike other vampires, she didn't turn off her humanity switch. She cared about others. But if she showed it, she would be treated as shit or as a tool.

She wanted to know why the king chose her specifically and turned her into a vampire when he can turn anyone into one. Lenora loathed her existence as a vampire. She wanted to turn back into her previous self. Lenora wondered what her biological parents were doing without her. Are they missing her? Will they accept her as a demon?

"My Lady," Celine's words resounded beside her, bringing her back to the earth from her complicated thoughts.

"What happened, My lady?" Celine asked.

"I wish I am not a vampire. A blood-sucking demon. I want to go back to my human form," Lenora said, feeling disgusted at her kindness.

Celine was surprised at her actions. A smile formed on her lips but she quickly hid it.

"But…" Lenora sighed.

"But?" she asked.

"Will my biological parents accept me? Why can't I remember the life I lived a few years ago? Why am I so cursed like this?" she said. She wanted to cry but she was afraid the make-up would be ruined if she cried.

Celine was surprised at the sudden mood fluctuations of Lenora. Indeed her parents would accept her. After all, she was here on their orders to take care of Lenora.

"My Lady, everyone is special in their way. If you don't remember either you were compelled to forget it or it happens to a few rare vampires that they tend to forget their memories during the transition from human to vampire. This happens when their body couldn't hold back," Celine said.

Lenora knew her father despite turning her into a vampire, he never cared about her and him putting an effort into compelling her to forget her past was something he would never do. She could only think that it was because of the latter reason.

With a sigh… she bowed her head.

"I wish… I could end my life as a vampire and live like a human. A normal one. Is it too much to ask?" she muttered to herself.

"My Lady, please don't be sad," Celine tried to comfort her.

"Yeah… despite everything I shouldn't be sad. I never killed my sister. But I was blamed for it and took the punishment which I don't deserve. My brother hates me, my mother hates and my father doesn't care about me. But despite all I shouldn't be sad," Lenora vented out with a sarcastic smile. She could only mock herself for her inability to prove my innocence.

"My Lady…" Celine wanted to say something but she was cut off by Lenora.

"If I get a single clue or lead on what happened that day to me and my sister. I would find it out and dig the one who is responsible for her death," Lenora said.

"My Lady, what made you think there is someone behind this?" Celine asked.

"That day… Victoria is neither staked in her heart nor her heart is contaminated with Boswellia. Her death is different. Her fangs were cut off, and her venom was extracted. When she died, it looked like she was turned into a human. It cannot be done by a vampire but some other race," she said thoughtfully.

Lenora didn't know that someone was listening to their conversation. Storms brewed in his chest listening to her words. Not knowing the effects she created, Lenora dropped the topic.
