the smoke of fire fills the room, making me feel like coughing as it was too much carbon dioxide for my lungs.
I need to act to find out the truth of them, one way or another. I can't let my family be at risk.
I wanted to get in a comfortable position because that idiot Lazarus banged my head and it hurts.
on top of that, the uncomfortable state will make me go sore or lose my veins in the body.
"Lazarus we have to start the ceremony but get her in a comfortable state or it will hurt her more"
ava said and honestly at that moment I wanted to pray for her and her well being for thinking about me.
she got near me and then looked at me, how do I know that well I can feel when someone looks at me.
I wanted to try something new but with my current state, it is hard to control my breathing.
ava hold my leg and got me in a comfortable situation making me feel a bit more relaxed.
but when she moved y head I feel like someone wants me to die from so much pain, it's unbearable.
according to them, I am wide asleep due to the influence f human world medicine but it has ni effect one me except me being dizzy.
thank goodness it was not the herb again or I would have been found dead or worse in a paralyzed state.
"ava that is done but are you sure to let her have aa ceremony because they are no way out after that"
Lazarus said in a worried voice that pique my interest that they are using me yet they are afraid of something.
"Lazarus I can understand the thing you are pointing out but she passed the first trial, 2 days have passed already we have one week left"
ava tried to argue with a sad voice then another voice was heard, a sob to be exact making me think
'no, I must be mishearing how can ava cry for me'
I thought with a confused state of my mind I feel like a dead person who can't understand a single word.
but one thought ruled my mind and which was actually the question I wanted to ask ava from a long time
'is ava someone I know or someone blood-related?'
I had a suspicion on ava that she knows me from someone but where I don't know and why is she possessive.
"ava you cnt cry at this time, she needs to learn to save this world and earth"
Lazarus told ava and then ava's stopped sobbing because the shocking voice ceased. I want to see it.
then I felt someone coming near me so I went back to my act and acted like a dead body.
then suddenly the steps halted making my breathing get a hitch and I feel like my doom is near.
then I can hear a whisper, a whisper by a lady I am sue is ava and then she patted my head while sitting in my bed.
"Selena, sorry my dear bit o cany do anything but this to save all the people o the kingdom, forgive me"
she said and then she holds my hand and kissed it and the kissed my forehead and a little tar drop ended up on my face.
"ava we cany delay it anymore"
Lazarus told ava and then came near ava and he also kissed my forehead like a father.
he is behaving like a loving and caring father when a few minutes ago he was being a bad guy.
I still have a question in my mind and my head is running many kilometers per second.
once again I have tons of questions but no one who can answer it, I have to find answers soon.
'why is this fate in my hand, why does ava say that mi can save the kingdom people, why does Lazarus thing it is too late'
so many why's with no answers and then I decided to remain the same when Lazarus came near me again.
"Selena I am a vampire I can hear your heartbeat stop pretending and get up"
he told me an ad that shocked me like how can he find that I am faking it m like how.
maybe it is just a test I will continue to pretend and see if that was a test or not.
"Selena, you can't fool me I was the one to teach your father that trick"
that shocked the hell out of me he was the teacher dad told us about, I remember clearly dad sasi that he was a vampire.
royal castle, 5 years back, the royal chamber.
I am in dad's chamber again, waiting for dad to arrive and have a talk with him to dethrone me a princess.
why? because I was not fit for the princess and a queen, I agreed to live my life as a commoner.
dad was in a meeting with few generals and I never disturb dad in any kingdom related work.
suddenly the door opened and I saw dad in front of me, wearing a white suit and his wings showed power.
his wings were golden in color and huge, I love then, dad is wearing a crown and his face shows shock.
I am here in his room during his king time is a shock, obviously, it's not like he doesn't know my demand.
"Are you here to get the title of princess off?"
dad asked totally tired of my demand that I want to live like a normal person or a fairy.
"yes your majesty, I want my princess title to be gone"
I asked and repeated my demand again tired of getting the same answer and tired of being powerless and catcalled.
"as a father and a king, I deny that, but this princess will have a privilege to know this king's secret"
dad told me with a secret sign which means he will tell me and what can I child be curious if he or she knows a secret
"a secret?"
I asked curiously while giggling happily that I will have something to bug dad and force him.
'hehe I am not as innocent as you see me as'
I giggled thinking and planning on how to use that secret to blackmail dad to take me to earth.
dad nodded and then told me to sit on the bed where I was sitting and then freshen up and sta next to me.
"dad, what is the story about?"
I asked curiously and then dad smiled at kissed my forehead and told.
"remember you asked me to teach you the fake sleeping technique"
dad told me remembering me of dad's birthday night and I nodded then dad continued
"that technique is not mine"
dad told me while shocking the life out of me and I with a shocked face asked dad
"whose technique is it then?"
I asked totally curious about who can give dad such a technique and why.
"a royal vampire, a friend of a sort, a great guy, he gave me this technique because I was able to master it "
when dad told me he is a royal vampire I was eager but a royal duty came up and he went back and left me hanging.
back to reality
when Lazarus told me that he touches this technique to dad I felt like I am a slice of dead meat.
he is the inventor he knows pros and cons no wonder he made me lay in a weird position.
my mind was on the verge to collapse from overthinking this time I have one question in mind which must have answer yes or no
'Should I fake it up or reveal myself'
honestly, I feel like I am no longer on any land I am dead and my soul is wandering aimlessly.
the sudden jolt made me get out of daydreams and it was Lazarus he hit my head again and the pain intensified.
"quit the act or I swear I will make sure you die from pain"
that threat was what Lazarus gave me and it made me gulp all my saliva and my mouth felt like a barren desert.
he hit me again and this time I feel like having my head explodes, I even bit my lip to control.
"biting lip won't help you, Selena do as I say or else you know"
he threatened me again then this time when he hit me I almost screamed but my brain lost his willpower.
I started feeling numb and I am dure that if I opened my eyes I will feel dizzy.
"Selena I admire your will power, I love to hit you once more"
he gets a bit more closely and about to hit me when I finally decided to give up on my act.
"good girl now get up and do the ceremony perfectly"
