The Eternal Kingdom ✔️

Episode 19

Steven POV :

It was a shock to me to know that Nika has been planning on bringing my family and I down.

But Erica, Erica saved my family regardless what have done and said to her. She might be a human but she has conscience, she knows when to keep humanity and vampirism aside and do the right thing.

Deep down I regret my actions, I've deeply made her suffer. If I knew she came to my castle by chance to save my family and I, I wouldn't have treated her the way I did.

I'm such a fool, what am I going to do to gain her forgiveness knowing quite well she still wants me dead. Because deeply I don't understand.

You want me dead, Nika was a weapon for such and she exposed her. I truly don't understand Erica at all.

The only way to make her forgive me is to say sorry and show her I meant it from the bottom of my heart.

Right now I was in a room with Erica. She was laying on the bed unconscious. And I kept wondering what she drank or ate to make her cough out blood. It was out of the ordinary.

Deeply it pains me to see her like this. This sudden feeling unwrapped itself when she went out of her way to save my little family.

My hope is to see her okay, at least she's breathing that's enough for me to know that she'll be fine. Then came a knock at the door.

"Come in." I ordered and then stepped in the family doctor.

"It's quite unexpected to know you're caring for a human." He told me with a smug smile.

"Doctor do you want to loose your beating heart?" I asked him sternly not liking his resent spoke words.

The smile on his face dropped. "No Sire." He replied.

"Then do your fucking work and don't tell me what the fuck you're observing." I told him sternly and moved my gaze back to Erica.

"Yes Sire. I did some test on her to see that she drank a poisoned water."

"That isn't possible, the water given to her at the donjon wasn't poisoned at all." I told him.

"Your majesty enemies will always have their ways."

"But if she drank poison why wasn't it effective after 45 minutes?"

"The maker of such substance produced it that way." He told me.

To summarize everything. The person making poisons in my castle was Nika but Erica will never drink anything from her so just how?

"What can be done to get her back and healthy?"

"She need rest. Her blood cells was almost damaged. She needs to eat. I mean eat very good food and her diet should be supported with vitamins and minerals." He told me.

I kept staring at him for a minute.  "How do you know all this concerning a human."

"Sire I've got nieces and nephews who are humans." He told me with clear mind.
"I'll be on my way now," he said and left the room closing the door behind him.

I shifted my attention back on Erica. "Erica I'll take good care of you. I'll try to pay you back for all you've done. So please wake up," I said caressing her right hand in guilt.

Her right hand was so delicate and soft. And when I say soft. It was so so soft. I'm wondering how soft her body would feel in my arm. I stood up to stare at her closely. She was a beauty in sight, no man can resist such beauty not even I.

The first time I laid my eyes on her, I kept thinking how a human could be this beautiful. I removed a strand of her red flawlessly hair from her face and placed it behind her ears. I could now see her pretty face perfectly.
