The Eternal Kingdom ✔️

Episode 6

Erica's POV

I woke up with painful head arch. I was feeling extremely dizzy as I sat down to see that I was no longer in the throne room. It seems like I was in a barrier room.

There was a window and two bars beside me and a bar in front of me. I crawled backwards as I rested my head and back on the wall.

"Damn it, now I'm in the donjon." I muttered out.

"Me too but I'm glad you're okay," a small voice said.

I can recognise that voice.

"Nora is that you?" I questioned as she crawled out from the dark into the light of the moon which peaked out through the small window.

"Yes It's me. Are you okay? I heard what the king did to you. Your head is still bleeding," she said in a worried tone.

"I'm okay. I'll get use to it."
"Why were you hiding in the dark? Are you okay?" I also asked in concern.

"I'm good, It's just 20 lashes. I was bleeding so bad so I didn't want to cover you up with it." She told me.

"I'm glad you're okay." I smiled at her.
"But I thought you vampires heal yourselves?"

"Yeah but vampires have different species."
"I'm half human half vampire. My mum is a vampire and my dad is a human." She told me.

Now I understand, why she's different. She's a half breed and she didn't let the devil in her consume the humanity in her.
If she was thought so, that means she have got good parents and she lost them because of this kingdom.

My family wasn't taken away from me also hers at a young age but the funny thing was, she was adapting to it fast.

"I get. Sorry dear. I guess your stronger emotionally than I am." I replied to her.

"But you're way better than I Erica. I like you so much, you're so brave and strong. I like that your courageous sprite and beautiful potential. I like you that way." She told me.

I was mesmerized by her words as I opened my arms for her to hug me and she quickly did.
I guess she isn't that bad.

"Enough of the love, come out punk." A male guard spoke as he opened the bar door.

"I'm not going anywhere." Nora restrained.

"Are you challenging me?" The guard asked angrily.

"What part of leave her alone, you don't understand brute." I replied back.

"Shut up human slave. You're just as useless as your kind. Very soon, I'll like to see you die," he said arrogantly as he dragged Nora out of my arms.

I got up to drag her back but another guard kicked me with his leg in a harsh manner. They quickly closed the gate and replied. '' Just wish for death stupid human, because you're going to die there."

And that's how Nora left me. I was left in the donjon to suffer, to starve and mostly to die.
Well that's exactly what I wanted.
What was life again?

I was given a square of meal once in two days and I didn't eat them because they were covered in blood.
What I could only take was unclean water.

I'm sure I was going to have decentry.

Everyday I was tormented with out rest.
Eachday those guards would place snakes or scorpion in the donjon to bite me but I'll kill them all.

Sometimes I'm been thrown wine or food at my face.

"Slave princess." They all mocked.

"Oh Slave princess how is the donjon? Do you love it? Enjoy your chambers. It's so lovely."
