The First Beast (Vampire Verse..All Ships)

Chapter 23 - Sibling Partnership

///I changed Felicia's instructor's name from Satin to Hugo. And went back and made those changes in the book. Also it is quite possible I will only be focusing the rest of the story on Encre and Fallacy's relationship from here on out. Aside from a few other pairs that will keep the story going and on interesting.
I know that I don't post a lot. Thank you for being patient with me all these years my lovely readers. I hope you enjoy the new chapter///

Fallacy usually wasn't one to stare, nor was he the type to stay interested in certain things or people for very long.
But he needed answers, and he certainly wasn't getting any from Encre just sitting in his room all day, getting nursed back to health without saying so much as a single word.
The man would go about like this for days.
Eat, sleep, stare out into the eternal abyss.
All the while Fallacy would watch from afar (sometimes as a bat in the window, sometimes just listening from outside his door). Some might say he was obsessed with him; infatuated even.
When in fact it was all so dreadfully boring.

(Their meeting in his office earlier on obviously had no effect aside from slightly easing the tension. )

The vampire King groaned, scratching the bottom of his chin in frustration.
"C'mon you old kahoot!" He said to himself. "Think! How do I get a highly trained war soldier who would rather die than say two words to you...to talk about his almighty rulers plans!? Think think think thi-"
Some part in the back of his mind spoke up, whispering
the idea lightly. It was so clever, yet so simple. He was almost upset he didn't think of it from the start.

Felicia.

Despite being the biggest diva in the entire Vampire Kingdom, his sister was also the best strategist he had ever met. And during his early war years, Fallacy had gone to her for a lot of advice for battle tactics.

He sighed as he gazed from nearby, his eyes not leaving the Blood Painter for quite some time as he hobbled around on his cane, exploring the many wonders of the castle Library.

He wasn't alone of course, a maid or butler always nearby to keep watch over him as he wandered.

Fallacy -being the creep that he was- decided he would come back later to observe the soldier some more.

Felicia thrusted her hand forward, the end of her fist colliding with mere air as it missed its designated target. Sweat rolling down her dark bones.

Hugo, with his hands behind his back, had a calm and composed structure. His face being the only indifference as he was grinning like an excited madman.

"Oh c'mon M'lady. I know you do better than that. You were doing really well yesterday after all."

The temper mental princess practically screamed in frustration as she begin to swing fists around rapidly, looking like she was trying to  catch butterflies with the number of times she missed hitting her instructor.

"Will-" Swing "you!" Swing "hold-"

This time she attempted a high kick to his lower abdomen.
"WILL YOU JUST HOLD STILL ALREADY!?"

"I would...if it weren't for the fact you were twenty minutes late to our session today," Hugo says smugly. The cloth over his eyes slipping slightly from side stepping around so much.
