Dracula's Wife [✓]

26.

. . .

"I thought your damage would be the end of us all, but look where we are now. It's two days after the peace treaty and the two kingdoms are finally united."

"Get out before I exorcise you." I scowl at him. 

Hoseok's remark doesn't alleviate the mourning within me. Instead, I feel like weeping loudly this time. Had it been possible for me to scream, I would've done it by then. I see myself as the tiger whenever I release my anger and that time isn't for now. The wedding had happened the next day after the signing of the ceasefire. 

I glare at Hoseok with resentment. I feel like I'm betraying MinYoung behind her back. It's already been two days since I left the unit.

What of her condition? Is she thinking of my whereabouts? Can Sandeul keep up the act? 

Even though the unity and wedding itself has passed, there are still errands left to meet. Today is the day where both communities unite properly. They'll have to engage in a series of interactions in order to familiarize each other with the conditions of the peace treaty. 

All six brothers, including myself are obligated to wear the royal uniform. Theirs are full black waistcoats with pure gold chains and harnesses. 

Their costumes resemble that of bachelors. None of them are against the style and are somehow inclined to wear them. It's been so long since we wore our handmade uniforms. 

Our uniforms are specially tailored by Taehyung's Mother. She finds her interest in sewing clothes, especially for her sons, both blood related and none.  

As I am the special brother, I have a different style of costume. My uniform is navy blue. Instead of gold chains and harnesses, they are hued white. A white belt is strapped around my thin waist. My wrists have collared white sleeves. A white cape is the final accessory draped on my shoulder. 

This is the uniform that I've been wanting to show MinYoung, but I didn't because I could not. Had I returned back to the Sanctuary solely just to grab this uniform, I wouldn't be able to have lived in that single unit for six months. My energy and attempt to run away will only be put to waste, for now. 

I had mentioned last time that one of my younger brother had moved out of the shared chamber. He was temporarily sick of listening to me compliment myself three times a day. This kid is Taehyung. He decided to move back in because there weren't anymore spaces for the other new vampires. 

Also, the bed would be a waste if he hadn't occupied it. This chamber is specifically made for us seven princely brothers. He could just avoid my presence whatsoever if Taehyung is exhausted hearing me compliment myself. 

Taehyung's personality pales a lot compared to MinYoung.  

HaYoung had inclined to my wishes; is that we only see each other when the Kings expect us to. On other occasions, she can do whatever she wants. She didn't argue whatsoever and accepted. She spends most of her time with NamJoon whenever she can. 

It was already obvious how uncomfortable she was with the King of Gladioli, even though she bravely presented their Kingdom before. She could finally breathe now and so can Father himself. She won't be able to tell us the truth for now as that can be heard later on. 

Jungkook stated the reason why she has feelings for the latter; it's because of his smart antics and IQ. She admitted to that statement and I couldn't be more happier for NamJoon. Everything was happening too fast. 

Whether it's good or bad, I just want to return to the unit. 

"SeokJin! Come here! There are chameleons and butterflies!"
