Moon Lovers: Craving For My Fake Vampire Mate

Killed in the court

Ch-13

When Lenora was standing in the middle of the hall. Zaros let the bellman read out the announcement loud. When the town crier was reading the announcement… a woman in a white gown suddenly rushed forward at an inhuman speed. Even the royal vampires take years of time to attain that speed.

Lenora's reflexes were faster than anyone expected them to be. She raised her hand and caught her throat in a split second.

Lenora felt something was wrong front the time that Azazel came. She confirmed that he especially came here for her. But why her was a mystery for her. She dared to look at him straight into his eyes which no one dared to do.

Just then she noticed him smirking at her slightly. Alarm bells started ringing in her brain at his action. She gave a bright smile to him for which he showed a shocked expression for a split second. Her gaze went to his hands, she saw him signalling someone.

Lenora suddenly felt danger coming in her way. She turned her head and saw a woman coming in her way. She could smell Boswellia from that woman. When she saw her face a slight smirk formed on her. The same compelled Clara was now coming to kill. In a split second, she raised her hand and caught her neck with ease. She turned her head to look at Azazel. His face was void of any emotions. But his eyes held amusement at her actions. But he hid it again in a split second.

Lenora averted her gaze back to Clara. She could see Zaros was waving his hand at guards asking them to catch Clara. She looked at Clara for a split second and deduced that she was compelled again. Who in the hell could compel a Vampire maid? Only royals… Eudora won't do it. Zaros won't do it. And her father… isn't capable of doing that. There was a mystery lying in this palace.

Lenora saw that the guards were rushing towards her at a vampire speed. But she was faster than them. She looked at Zaros who was looking at her from the moment he adorned his throne. She gave a challenging smirk before snapping Clara's neck.

Lenora dropped Clara's dead body on the ground. Everyone was stunned for a moment. Her every action happened in a slow motion to them. The onlookers jaws dropped to the ground. The Vampire guards slowed down their pace. Few court officials stood up from their seats in shock. Slowly… Clara's body dropped to the ground lifelessly.

Green veins started appearing on her body. Her face turned paler than usual. Lenora raised her left hand in the air and snapped her fingers as she looked around. Soon fire started burning in her hand, she bent down as she looked at the further shocked expressions of the people around her. She touched Clara with her burning hand and set her body on fire not before taking the knife from her hands. The flames turned brighter and burned with great vigor. The flames rose two feet high making Lenora take two steps back. Crossing her hands, she watched Clara's body burn into ashes. 

Soon, nothing left only ashes were left from Clara's body.

"Lady Lenora Serafina Velorine, Would explain what you did just now?" Eudora's voice could be heard in the hall.

"She is compelled to kill me. If she fails or succeeds in the task she would have to kill herself. so, I did the favor to her by killing her with my own hands," Lenora said carelessly.
Before Eudora could say something, she turned her head to look at Azazel.

"Thanks for the gift, My Lord," Lenora said bowing her head.

"What do you mean by that?" a Vampire Official said.

"My Lord knows it well," Lenora said.

"You are smarter than Eudora, Lady Velorine," Azazel commented.

"I Feel honored for your compliment. Also… I am feeling proud for my skills being tested by you," Lenora said.

For some reason, she felt that he knew the changes in her body. And he might have heard her heartbeat which gave a point of suspicion on her. If he has heard her heartbeat it means… he knew about her powers. If he did, he wants to check them. That was the reason for his move. And Lenora was right about it.
"You are too smart for your good," he said as he smiled. In return, Lenora smiled at him. Azazel was indirectly implying that being over smart can get her killed.

"Thanks for your concern, My Lord," Lenora said with a bright smile.
Everyone around her was shocked to their core at their conversation. Many people thought that they were talking formally and Azazel just tested her. But only very few smart people could understand the meaning underlying the words they spoke.
