Chapter 62

While Zen and the Gazellians were busy with their duties in the kingdom, I was busy searching for the queen's door. I was told by the appointed women that it is only inside the palace and will not go any further, but in the time I have stayed in this palace, I have never once seen the queen's door.

Which part of the palace did I not reach? Zen has almost taken me around every part of the palace. Where is the queen's door?

I've had a headache thinking about the door for a few days now. I know I can't open it even if I know its location, but it's still different if I know where the queen is located.

Rosemary has been gone for two days because she is going to visit her family, whom she has not seen for a long time. Because his majesty is not strict, unlike Zen, he lets Rosemary visit as she wants.

I held my breath again while thinking about the door again. It looks like it will be a while before Rosemary gets pregnant because her majesty is not in a hurry. But what about the things I should do? Should I just wait?

I know Danna is struggling with her situation, and the people of Sartorias continue to pressure and pursue her. and no matter how many times he told me that he was not rushing me and that I should just help him when the time was right, I couldn't get him to agree. Because I know the right opportunity will never come, Time is running out, and waiting in this situation is not a good idea.

Even though I know that the queen will not open me, my decision is complete. I will try to talk to him behind the door, but before that happens, I need to know in which part of the palace the door I am looking for is located.

I held my breath a few times when something suddenly came to mind. I have only been to this place once, and the queen may be here.

The place where Zen and I first met Underneath the palace, in a place full of furry monsters that almost ate me before I didn't waste any more time; I immediately left my room full of oration ingredients and left the palace. I know where I can go to get to the bottom of this great palace.

On the side of the palace, there is a locked door because of the monsters that are locked in it. I once asked Zen why they have this kind of monster under the palace, and he just told me that it has been part of the palace since he was born. He didn't explain anything else about it.

I know magic was used on the locked door. My eyes lit up quickly, and my hands instantly lit up as I locked the door. In an instant, it lost its lock. If it's just magic, I'm learning more and more, and I'm even more powerful.

to the men of Parsua.

Just like the first time I came here, only a candle lit up the dark place. I was currently walking down the stairs, so I chose to take a lamp so that its light could better guide my walk.

When I finally got to the bottom, I was not surprised when my feet got wet. River of blood. something that almost killed me when I first got here.

As I continued my walk, I could hear a familiar growl. Grunts of the monster that looked hungry, embargoes that chased me before If the first time I did nothing but cry and run to this place, Now I don't even feel nervous or scared anymore since I've been in this world for so long. Last but not least are the embargoes I have to fear.

I have experienced, witnessed, and suffered a lot. What else can I fear from the monster that can only deliver so much violence to me?

I continue walking while holding the simbo, and I see two embargos with their big teeth ready to eat their breakfast. I ignored them and continued walking, and when they both reached me, I didn't even blink when both of them turned to ashes.

I let my eyes redden as I continued to walk, ignoring the embargoes attacking me. Since I gave my share of life I'm in blue fire, and I've learned to use my power. I can say that the appointed women are really powerful. I used to think that I could only treat and remove the curse. The blue fire made my blood more alive as a witch.

I stopped walking when my eyes hit the place where I first saw my prince. My handsome prince, who is sleeping peacefully while crouched in chains, I still remember how the candle light shone on his scarred body, the first time I slapped him, the first time I was mesmerized by his handsome face, and the first time I felt his fangs on my neck.

Who would have thought that here, in this place, it all started? This place was so unromantic. But who can tell you where you will find the man you will love?

It was always unexpected, but damn wonderful.

I turned my eyes again in the dark place; if not here, where else? I don't see any doors.

Since I'm getting tired of handling the simbo, I put it in an empty container. but I was just surprised when I felt like someone was sucking the river of blood at my feet. When I turned around, I saw that all the blood on the floor was starting to flow into a large, box-shaped hole.

I did nothing but watch it until I finally saw my feet. The floor was dry because The hole sucked it up. I started walking to get a better look at what was in the hole and was immediately amazed to see that there was another staircase here.

I would have taken the limbo again to serve as my light when I remembered that the blood only started to absorb when I put it where it is now. It is possible that it will close when I remove the limbo from its place.

I just hurried to the place where I first saw Zen and took the limbo on his right side. I noticed that there were still embargoes around me that just kept staring at me. They seemed to know what would happen to them if they tried my power. I am no longer the poor Claret I used to be, who was afraid of all the creatures of this world.

I started going down the stairs; I don't know if my walk took half an hour until I reached the end of it. I was immediately stunned to see the towering golden door currently guarded by a gigantic rabbit sitting on a floating carpet, playing chess by himself.

What the hell? Is what I'm seeing real?

"What do you need?" I almost jumped back when I heard the rabbit speak.

"Can you talk?" I asked in disbelief.

"The queen's power to give minds to animals such as a vampire or a human. You don't seem to be from Sartorias; what do you need?" the rabbit asked me.

/

"I would like to talk to him if possible," I asked hesitantly. I was surprised when my body rose and I found myself in front of the rabbit. He is holding my stomach.

"You're not pregnant; you're just wasting your time," he said to me, shaking his head.

"But I am her son's mate; maybe she will let me talk to her," I reasoned.

"Look at that." He pointed to something at the front door. When I looked at it, I immediately paid more attention to the design of the door. In the middle of it there is like a small bowl that, if I am not mistaken, is where the woman will drip her blood.

"The door will know if the blood owner is pregnant; it won't open no matter what you do. Come back here when you're carrying a Gazellian." I softened at what the rabbit said.

I was about to turn away when I asked him again.

"Can the queen hear us now?" I just ask. The rabbit nodded at me. I took a deep breath before I spoke at the front door. I didn't care about the rabbit's presence in front of me.

"I want to introduce myself to you, dear queen. I am the appointed woman for your son, for Zen. I'm Claret Cordelia Amor, a woman from the other world. A woman who is ready to do everything for your child, and what I am doing is not only for me but also for the good.

him and all of Parsua. I would like to talk to you personally about this matter; if not, please let me hear your voice and give me some answers. I hope you will pay attention to me. I apologize because I did not face you with a pregnant woman. I waited for a few minutes to hear an answer from the queen, but I was disappointed.

I said goodbye to the rabbit and went out from under the palace as if I had escaped with my life.

Days continue to pass without anything happening as promised. Zen is currently sleeping because he is tired from their successive trips as siblings.

I just grabbed my neck with traces of his fangs. I could feel his thirst in the past few days due to extreme fatigue. And making him drink my blood is the only thing I can do to help him.

While I was stunned on the terrace of my room with Zen, I noticed that a black crow landed on the table in front of me. When our eyes met, I confirmed it was Danna.

It wasn't long before I felt that Zahara had entered my mind.

"Claret, don't let the first prince repeat what his father did. Don't let another vampire experience the suffering I went through." I smiled bitterly at Danna.

/

"It's Dastan's decision; like Zen said, there's nothing we can do," I explained.

"Then you will let this kind of thing continue? How many times have I told you that I have never regretted my love for Thaddeus, but I wish that I would be the first and the last to experience this. You don't know what can happen to the girl the first prince will marry when the woman destined for him arrives." Danna gave me a long explanation.

"It was said that they were going to break the relationship between Dastan and the woman he was assigned to," I reasoned.

"That's impossible!" Danna answered me strongly.

"Impossible? Didn't you do this to your own mate, Danna? You rejected your own mate," I answered quickly.

"It was successful because I already love Thaddeus, but the first prince? Can you tell me that he loves the one he's going to marry?" I was stunned by Danna's question.

"He loves Rosemary," I answered weakly. He wouldn't take her to the palace and call her his queen if he didn't love her.

"What are you sure, Claret? Even if they get married and the first prince is not truly in love, the severing of their relationship with the woman who is truly meant for him will not be resolved. He will destroy the heart of the woman he will marry, Claret. Please avoid this; don't let another girl be like me. has never been defeated by When two people love each other, I know you know that thing, Claret. " I had already made up my mind not to interfere with this, but here it is again, and it looks like fate is forcing me to get involved again.

"You are not interfering, Claret; we are just anticipating what might happen. What could happen to the poor woman in the future? It is possible that she will curse the Sartorias and give birth to a new vampire ready to overthrow the kingdom. We still have many enemies, and let there be one more that we can't handle, especially when you are alone. Remember that this is not just our problem; it will also be a problem for our future children. We have to deal with it, Claret." Zahara gave me a long explanation.

"How can I solve this? I don't have the ability to talk to Dastan about this matter," I said briefly.

"Tomorrow he is going to propose to the girl; I hope you take it, Claret." My eyes widened at Zahara's words. How do I do that? I was about to talk to Danna when the crow flew away, and when I looked back, Zen was rubbing his eyes. My prince's hair was also a mess.

"Claret, let's go to sleep." I stood up before I approached him and hugged him.

"Next, dear prince." Until Zen fell asleep, I was not drowsy.

I decided to walk around the palace first. And I chose to enter my magical room, but I was almost surprised to see that his majesty was in it.

"Your Highness." I saw the door of my room open. It looks like he passed through here.

"I am sorry, I am just intrigued inside this room." Dastan was about to turn his back on me when I had the courage to speak.

"Why? Why Dastan? What is your reason? You lied to us; you lied to your brother." He calmly faced me, and in an instant he was in front of me. We were only a little distance apart.

"What do you think?" He was about to grab my hair when I took a step back.

"Your majesty, I don't like what you're doing anymore. I don't understand why you lied to us; I don't understand what you're doing anymore. Now that we are talking, I will also say that what you are doing to innocent Rosemary is not right; you will only hurt her, your majesty. There is a woman destined for you; you are the king; why do you keep dictating to the councils?" I said at length.

"You don't want me to marry him?" I don't like his tone.

"Your majesty, there is a woman who is destined for you. And let her see the real man who is destined for her. Don't let them destroy each other." Don't imitate your father! Danna's problem with Sartorias is not over because of what his father did. Will I let his son follow him?

"I'm not going to marry him?" Dastan asked me again.

"Don't marry her! She is not your mate!" I answered emphatically.

"As you wish." I couldn't catch up with the incident. I just saw the king bow to me while kissing the back of my hand.

But I immediately turned to the door when I heard a woman's breathing.

"Dastan. Claret...." I could see Rosemary's eyes tearing up. I quickly grabbed Dastan's hand. What the fucking hell?

"No, this is not what you think, Rose," I said nervously.

"Is that why you don't like me, Claret? You and Dastan..."
