Beneath the Vampire King's Desire

Chapter 22

They had been traveling for days through portals going to the Seven Kingdoms. Now, they approached the Kingdom of Avalan, the last realm. The Kingdom of Avalan is a stunning land with rolling hills, lush forests, and elegant white stone buildings. Its capital features grand palaces and vibrant markets, surrounded by beautiful lakes and waterfalls.

They were greeted by the Chimeras. Their eyes set to Lucius. Nakita niya naman na agad na napayuko ang mga ito. Diretso lamang na nakatingin si Lucius habang sumusunod sila kay Carean. The king's right hand.

"It was a long journey, aye?" Carean asked while they were walking toward the king's room.

"Yes. It's been days since we started going to the seven kingdoms." Sagot niya dito.

A white stone door opened and it revealed the stunning room of the king. The king's room in Avalan is beautifully designed with gleaming white stone. Tall windows let in plenty of light, showcasing the detailed stonework.

Bahagyang yumukod siya para magbigay galang sa hari. Nang itaas niya ang tingin ay ang seryosong mukha ng hari ang unang nakita. King Xerxes is renowned for his stoic and arrogant demeanor. He maintains a serious, unflinching expression, rarely showing emotion or warmth.

"Serves them tea." Utod nito sa babae.

Agad na sumunod naman ito at nilagyang sila ng maiinom sa mahabang mesa kung saan sila nakaupo.

"It is nice seeing you again, King Xerxes." She said in a respectful manner.

"We'll start start the prayers in the Garden of Courage in a few minutes. We're just waiting Lady Xera and Lady Xenon." Caeran said.

Tiningnan niya si Lucius at pinandilatan ng makita niya na kumunot ang noo nito sa narinig.

"That is perfectly fine." Humarap siya at ngumiti sa hari at kay Caeran.

Hindi naman nagsalita si Caeran o ang hari kaya tumahimik lamang siya. Nilingon niya naman si Lucius at nakitang seryoso lang ang mukha nito.

"Why do we have to wait for them?" She heard him asked.

"It's his daughters and this is their kingdom. It's just a few minutes." She answered firmly and looked at him with a warning look.

"Our presence is the only important for the prayers." Lucius said almost annoyed. "Who they think they are to let us wait?"

Pinandilatan niya naman ito ulit ng mata. They have to conform especially with the king's temper.

"One thing I'm gonna teach you is patience." Mahina pero mariing sabi niya.

The king's daughter, known for her refined yet haughty demeanor, is often regarded as entitled in the Magical Realm. Her family is commonly referred to as the "Brats of Chimeras" due to their reputation for demanding privileges and displaying a sense of superiority. Having heard countless stories about their arrogance, she finally encountered the two during their visit to Elderglen. Their arrival confirmed the tales she'd heard.

Agad na tumingin siya sa nakasiradong pinto ng marinig ang matitinis at maarteng boses na nagsasalita. Nang bumukas ang malaking pinto ay niluwa nito ang dalawang babae. The two daughters exuded an air of sophistication, each dressed in elegantly tailored outfits that spoke of their high status. Their attire was complemented by wicked smiles that hinted at their cunning and self-assuredness. The combination of their polished appearance and those sly expressions made it clear they were well-acquainted with the power and influence their family wielded.

"That bitch I'm gonna burn her face for ruining my dress!" Malakas na sabi ni Xenon.

She's the youngest among the two and the woman beside her is Xera; the older sister.
