Ch-24
Ophelia beat Lenora to the point that she couldn't get up from the bed for a week. But no one came, even the number of maids under her was reduced. Lenora was known as the fallen Princess of the Vampire Kingdom.
Her days weren't good in the palace, she was plotted against many times by others, but she said nothing after her title was taken away. Despite Queen Eudora being angry with her, she always stood by the truth and righteousness side. So, her name was cleared. But that doesn't mean she never suffered. Even the suitors she had, had gone away, she was called the leftover princess.
At that time, this pact was for her salvation. Even though she didn't want to marry the Lycan king, she has no choice. The walls of the Vampire Kingdom were suffocating, but she couldn't escape it. Now… maybe she has to transfer into this kingdom and suffocate more.
Lenora sighed at her real mother's brainless action. The present Royal mother of the Vampire kingdom, Eudora, shook her head in disappointment.
"My king, I don't think it's appropriate for you to dissolve the pact just because of one snarky comment," Eudora said.
"Her Highness, Please forgive me for my rudeness. Nothing matters to me more than my sister," he said.
"A good king would never say that," an elder from the Vampire royal family said.
"If a person can't even protect their family member, then one has to question his ability to protect their kingdom," he said which shut the mouth of Vampires.
"King Elisaveta… we will take good care of your sister," an elder said.
"I can see how well you are going to take care of her from your current behavior," Maximus said.
Adira wanted to say something but she shut her mouth. She gripped his hand tightly, hinting for him to stop. Maximus looked at her, their eyes met. Her eyes held a pleading look. He wanted to ruffle her hair, she just looked like a cute puppy. But as much as he loves her… he understands her better than others.
She was saying that she was fine and she could bear it. But how could he let her bear it when he was still present. He might not be able to get her justice when she travels to the Vampire Kingdom… but he can protect her and get the justice she deserves when she is with him.
He was holding her for a long time, but he didn't feel any pain and instead felt she lost some weight. And he knew the exact reason. From the time she got to know about her marriage to a vampire, she wasn't eating well.
The elders of the Vampire's were stunned at his words. No one was a fool there. They saw many things and this thing shows them that… Werewolves were just obliging to the pact just for the safety of their people, but if it was at the expense of their princess then they would not be holding back. It also means… if they were to kill Adira after taking her to the palace and say something wrong about her… there was no way they would tolerate it.
Here Maximus's people would think that… Maximus was a good brother. He was portraying… a King role along with the brother role. Only the eye of an elder can see things.
Eudora waved her hand, a maid came near her. "Slap the one, who disrespected my daughter-in-law," she ordered.
