Chapter 1 The Man In the Woods!

Year 1923

Areshia Ashley Mondragon POV:

We were Virgins trapped with someone palace. For almost five years from now. We were trained to become a true lady with or without our consent.

One rainy evening. All of us abducted by a total stranger. And neither of us can't escape for they guarded us days and nights. We are humans and neither of us can fight a monsters. Yes! You heard it right a blood sucker monster. Whose ready to slave us at any costs. We can't fight a vampire unless we need to use our body to tame them.

Indeed, our staying here is not as bad as I thought. We are pampered and taking care off by our queen, Ruby. Our highness is reigning queen of England and she's our mentor. She thought us about what a woman should do in every situation she will encounter. And I must say I'm quite amazed by her grace of doing it, considering she's everybody's queen.

She's a vampire. But she didn't temp to drink our blood. She's our dearest queen and a good friend of ours. She made our lives comfortable. Using her power, she protected us at any cost. And because of that protection we are comfortable to live our life freely, without any distractions. Even we are not in our territory still, we can do things according to our like. And there's a law that vampires should follow. Queen forbids vampire out there to attack us. And if something will happen to us they will punish with their heads cut.

I remembered the times that someone tried to hurt Francisca by a strange vampire. In front of us, the queen slashed his head and fell apart to the ground. Her words plunge to my head. "I don't want you, or any one of you touching my ladies. Do I make myself clear here?!" All vow for agreement. "Good! Now fix this. I don't want his smell flooding in this room." While mentioning the guards to throw the dead body outside the palace. The maids hurriedly wipe the stained blood flooding to the floor after that.

We became friends after her proclamation as a queen and we vow for our loyalty to her.

The queen gave us a life that neither of us can't expect. But they said, duchess can't have their happiness fully unless, you give up all these things just to follow your own happiness.

There is one thing that I wish to be mine. Well... I'm not talking for the crown. Not for anything she has, but I really wish to have a perfect happily ever after story just like her. Her story adds excitement to my bones that somehow fairy tales do come true. And I'm very fanatic of happy endings and love stories. You see, I relied so much from my books. And I'm dreaming to have that in the future.

The king looked at her with so much admiration in his eyes. He respects and guide dearly his wife. And I'm dreaming for that to happen to me. But I think my long wait will end soon~

Until one rainy evening. I had a vision that someone would come to take me in his hands. Thought I can't clearly see his face. But I'm quite sure he's a man. I do really trust my dream, because somehow it will come true and definitely it will. Not so long and not so fast either.

I'm now contented walking in the wide garden of the palace. This is what I love. I love to hear the breeze of air coming in here. Quite peaceful. No disturbance.

I'm wearing my usual attire. Simple white gown and simple make up will do. I'm not fun in noisy places but a nice place like this would be fine for me. I took a white rose with me. For white flower, signifies purity of once persons. That's what I'm saving for.

"Ares!" Someone called my attention. The ladies are running to my direction. By the way this garden, we used to hang out every day. Talked about everything. And gossips whatever rumors we gathered inside the palace. And laugh endlessly, about something that is funny to be heard.
