Chapter 34

I want to curse my brothers. Why do I feel that they helped me again?

Why are they making this damn decision without my permission? I am talking about my life here, my eternal life in this world. I can't just let someone decide for my own life even my brothers!

They have no right to lead me. For me marriage is sacred, it is an eternal vow. I want to marry the man I loved and that's Adam.

"I don't have any idea about this. Can I have a word with you, your highness?" I formally asked my brother in front of high ranking vampires from two different kingdoms. I will not allow myself to be stuck in this decision.

Dastan stood up from his throne and powerfully began striding towards me. his every action screams authority which is why even the other vampires from the other empire respect him. But even before he was able to get close to me, he spoke again.

"For our guests, you can first pay attention to the food and drinks I have prepared. .I'll just talk to our princess for a moment.." when Dastan said this, our uniformed followers entered one by one as the golden tables where the food for the royal vampires were lined up.

I noticed that Orion and Clifford nodded at Dastan. Casper quickly approached his majesty and his majesty whispered something to him who quickly nodded his head. My remaining siblings also nodded and chose to stay in the hall to join our many guests.

Dastan came out of the hall first so I just followed his walk until we reached the library room of our palace.

Dastan quickly approached a table, there was a jug on top of it that contained blood and two crystal glasses. My brother seemed to be anticipating what I would say in the hall so he prepared our own drinks.

"Have a drink Lily.." Dastan transferred me to another glass before quickly approaching me and reaching for it. As soon as I touched it, his majesty immediately disappeared in front of me and I found him looking out the window.

"Maybe you're cursing me now Lily.." he said to me seriously as he kept his back to me. Using my speed as a vampire, I approached him and saw myself through the window.

"I'm angry, your majesty, you're leading me too much. do I really have no right to decide for myself?" I said coldly. I noticed that he was barely drinking the blood in his glass.

"I thought I couldn't talk to you calmly anymore. i always wanted you composed like this, not the emotional one.." my expression didn't change from what he said. I've also shed a lot of tears so I'm not too emotional these days.

"Dastan, I don't want to marry one of them. i am already mated to someone else, the marriage will not work. Besides, I can't be happy with them. I will only be hurt for the rest of my life if I marry one of them.." I explained to him.

"How many times do I have to tell you this Lily? we don't need you to be happy, we need you alive. Can't you see them Lily? They are ready to accept you even if you are marked with a wolf. Having one of them will keep you alive in this world.." I noticed Dastan tightening his grip on his glass.

"Can't you find another way Dastan? please, not this marriage my king. Marriage is important to me, I want to marry the man I love. I want to be like the strong marriage of mother and father. I want that kind of marriage Dastan.." I reasoned with my brother.

"Do you think you would still be able to see the two princes currently in the hall now if I thought of another way Lily? I need to enlighten your mind Lily. I don't want the time to come when I sit on my throne to watch the beheading of my own brother.can't you imagine that? How can I consider myself as an effective king if I can't even protect my own sister Lily? What will I say to the queen mother when she comes out? That I let you die with that werewolf?" I just stared at my admired king.

I know he is doing all this just for my sake but what will happen to me in the future? Yes, I am physically alive but my heart and soul will definitely die.

I looked away from his majesty before sipping blood from my glass. We were silent for a few minutes before I spoke again.

"How about Adam? How about my mate Dastan?" I asked coldly.

"I am giving you time to talk with him. Just once Lily, once is enough.." I couldn't answer him. and it looks like he didn't expect me to answer because he started walking away from me but I had the courage to speak for the last time.

"What if this happened to you, Dastan? What if your mate is a werewolf? What is your decision? are you going to marry someone else for the sake of this empire?" I thought he was going to answer me but he just continued walking. I just smiled bitterly, sometimes there are really limits to questions for kings like him.

"I'll be next. tell them to wait for me.." I answered weakly before facing the window.

"I will definitely marry someone else Lily just for the sake of this empire. I threw away my own happiness a long time ago since sitting on my throne.." this is when I finally turned to my sister again. yes, Dastan was never selfish.

He always puts the kingdom first and I admire him for this.

I was about to follow him when the library door was thrown open. It spat out Caleb who was panting and looking anxious. it looks like something bad is happening in the hall.

"Your majesty! Lily!" we didn't wait for Caleb to explain more because we hurried to get back to the hall and I almost fainted when I saw all the food spilled. The whole place is a mess.

only half of the hall remains intact, most of the walls and solid foundations have collapsed. .currently when Orion and Clifford are in a hot fight with blood on their lips, so are some vampires with them who are trying to protect their princes.

What are they all doing?!

"Do you think I'll let you live? you good for nothing dog!" Clifford shouted loudly as he continued to attack Orion with eight white tails already out.

They're both throwing hard punches with each other. And the wall almost broke every time their bodies hit it. they also got their unique powers, Clifford got the power of sharp strings that can cut someone's flesh which are only visible on his eyes. While Orion can camouflage and make himself invisible, he also got a poisonous claw.

I'm starting to smell the different types of blood from the vampires currently fighting but the two bloods that I recognize from Orion are the only ones that are different from all of us and Clifford.

Caleb, Finn and Evan don't stop fighting as they take down councils and vampires fighting from different empires. Dastan and I just stared at what was happening.

What the hell is going on here? Didn't they all just calm down when Dastan and I left them? why did this happen?

"Princess Esmeralda is mine, she doesn't deserve a thirst for power like yours!" Orion yelled at him without stopping his hands. its force is the one that wants to hit Clifford's body that it is struggling to release, Orion is like this every time he feels a sharp thread approaching him. People like Orion feel strongly.

"Stop! Please stop!" I shouted to the chaotic hall. I noticed that Dastan was still calm, I just found him in a corner drinking blood from a golden cup.

I was even more nervous when I felt a tremor throughout the palace. What's happening? I just looked up because of some dust falling. damn, are they going to ruin the palace?

"Fvck! Can someone stop them?!"when I said this, Harper immediately screamed very loudly causing us all to cover our ears and get lost in the fight but after Harper screamed Clifford and Orion still didn't stop talking to each other. stained a lotblood.

"Fvck! I said stop you both!" I shouted again. Harper was about to scream again when Evan and Caleb stopped her, looking weak. They should have covered their ears well!

Orion and Clifford were still ignoring me as they became more serious and looked like they were ready to kill each other. I just gasped in my mouth when they both hit each other at the same time.

the sharp thread penetrated Orion's body and Clifford's body was completely pierced by Orion's poisonous sharp claws. I saw them vomit blood almost at the same time. Damn it. I don't want it.

"Stop please, stop. stop.." they still ignored me and tried to press their powers to hurt or kill each other more.

This is one of the things I hate the most. I never wanted killings for my own sake, deep down I didn't like it.

I thought I wouldn't have any more tears but I just felt my tears flow little by little at the same time as I uttered words that were against my whole personality.

"I said stop! Stop! Stop it! I'm going to choose! I'm going to choose between you two. just stop please, stop this killings.."
