The travel to the Kingdom of Viacronis was smooth, fast, and uneventful. Nothing beats me entering their realm dressed in Phanteon’s official royal uniform and crest. These items spoke of my stature. No questions would be asked whenever I come and visit a realm wearing these. The guardians would always think it was for business purposes. And I want them to think of it that way. I didn’t want them to know I came to the vampire realm for a woman.

Half an hour earlier while I was changing into my royal uniform, Elijah couldn’t keep his mouth shut.

“No, don’t even think about it,” he said, frowning. He was supposed to leave my room while I changed, but he didn’t. Instead, he kept a close watch on me likely afraid I might run the other way and abandon her.

“What?” I asked as I slipped into my trousers.

“I know what you’re thinking, brother, but it won’t happen. Whether you like it or not, we are going to Viacronis to get the queen.”

“How about you get her instead?” I suggested, my face lacking any picture of concern. “Why must I go there too?”

He hissed loudly and shook his head. “You of all people exactly know why. Not only because you are the King of Phanteon but you are also her husband!”

“Tsk, the marriage was staged,” I huffed. “There was nothing real to it except for this fucking mark so I think you using the word ‘husband’ is premature.”

“Urghhh,” he massaged his forehead, no doubt losing his patience, “just…change and fast. If we’re lucky, she won’t end up as Hale’s dinner.”

At the mention of the vampire lord’s name, my lycan side growled. The fuck…of all the vampires to purchase her, must it be the dark lord himself?
