Valkyrie - The Vampire Princess

Chapter 30

Chapter 30

I spent hours in the care of Valeska. It was all recommended by my father. We were locked in my bedroom.

While she was choosing a perfect dress for me to be dressed in during the night, all I knew was that there would be a celebration in my honor. It was a kind of welcome at my father's castle.

Valeska took care of all the arrangements for the ceremony. Minutes before the event, she came back to my bedroom and helped me put on my dress and she also helped me finish my makeup. As soon as she completed her task, she came out of my bedroom.

After that I stood for a moment, walking from one side to other with so much mystery hovering around me.

Suddenly I remembered the blood on the lake.

I thought that mirage could be a warning in relation to what was to happen later. That thought helped to make me even more nervous. I should not be afraid. After all, I was inside my father's castle ... I also was with my friends. What harm would they do to me? I thought about it and began to feel more relaxed.

After a half hour, I left my bedroom. My intention was to go to the main room where the event would happen. I had difficulty in walking with my dress dragging on the floor. My feet stumbled on the fabric.

When I arrived at the main room, everyone was there, except my father. I stopped at the front of the huge hall.

As soon as I entered, I noticed everyone looking at me, that is, Valeska, Bizak and Eros, I immediately lowered my head.

Valeska, with her friendly manner, offered me her hand, so I walked to her.

"I have never said this before, but you look beautiful in this dress!" she said as I approached her.

I put my face down again as I was embarrassed at her praise. I also knew Bizak and Eros had heard her praise too.

However, I did not want to be in the spotlight that night. Throughout my life I had always passed unnoticed before people and even though it seemed that history would pivot at this time, it was something out of the question for me.

"This red dress suits you," Bizak said, gazing at me from head to toe. I went red.

But Eros said nothing since I arrived there and his silence made me feel ridiculous in my clothes.

I was in my red dress and I was wearing heavy makeup on my face. Valeska used strong colors, making me look like a female dancer in a nightclub, not to mention anything about my red lipstick and dark shadows around my eyes.

My blood-red dress was beautiful and in my opinion, it was outrageous. I had never dressed like this. But there is a first time for everything...

My father came into the main room. His eyes came over me as I was standing next to Valeska.

"My child, you look beautiful!" he said, holding my delicate hands. His gaze shone in my direction.

Then he kissed them in an affectionate manner. I fixed my eyes on his tender act.

Despite the fact that he was a monster, it was just moments before he seemed so human, so distinct. I forgot completely I was now living with a vampire.

"Today is your big day!" My father said, looking in the direction of my neck.

Hearing those words, I glanced at everyone around me. At that moment I could see in their expressions they knew what would happen to me that night. They were not allowed to speak about it, not allowed to spoil the surprise.
