The journey began again in the night. Not long, they got to "Toraq". Doris gaze was on the beautiful woman standing in front of the carriage. She was on a sparking Purple gown. Indeed purple was Doris best color and she couldn't help but continue staring at her.
Just a blink of eye, Kai teleported to him Mom and hugged her. Queen Melissa hugged her son back.
"I missed you son" Queen Melissa said as a tear dropped down from her eyes.
"I missed you too" Kai said. Doris came down from the carriage and Lucas and Gideon walked behind her. Doris stopped in front of the woman and she bowed.
"Good day Your Magesty" She greeted. Queen Melissa noticed the beauty in from of her and she couldn't help but admire her.
"What's your name pretty girl?" She asked with a smile.
"Doris" Doris said shortly.
"She's my wife Mom" Kai told her
"Really? She's such a beauty" Queen Melissa was surprised.
"Thanks" Kai answered instead. Queen Melissa hugged her son again.
"You guys should come in" Queen Melissa took them into her house. Her house wasn't that big but it's was beautiful. It has garden and a lot of space. The house was spacious and we'll designed. it didn't look like a castle or place but it was well equipped.
Queen Melissa showed Doris to her room and told the maids to help her prepare a bath. Beatrice and Anna help Doris with a bath. Doris took her bath and she wore the clothes the maids gave to her.
The maids helped her dry her hair and comb it. She didn't refuse the help of the maids this time because she was extremely tired and hungry. She rejected the maids at the King's palace because she could do those stuffs herself. She didn't want to be pampered because she was a Princess.
"Your Highness, Dinner is served in the sitting room" Beatrice said.
Doris followed her quietly because the hunger was killing her. Getting to sitting room, she saw her husband and Queen Melissa talking to each other with smiles supporting their gist.
"How's your Dad?" Queen Melissa asked.
Kai aura changed. The Expression on his face was unidentifiable. He didn't know how his Mom would feel if she found out.
"Queen Patricia poisoned him and looking at his state, Death is already knocking on the door for him" Kai said gentle and with emotion.
"Woah, Queen Patricia poisoned her husband. That woman is shameless and wicked. I didn't expect this. She wants the throne for her son and I'm sorry to say, she wouldn't get it on my watch" Queen Melissa grinned.
"Thank God you are okay son" Queen Melissa kissed her son's face. Kai never saw this coming. He expected his Mom to destroy this whole house with anger but she didn't. She looked perfectly fine after the news.
"Mom, are you okay" Kai couldn't help but ask.
"Really? Did you expect me to get angry or cry? My feelings for you Dad has died a long time ago. That's what he gets for taking my feelings for granted. It is you I am to ask if you are okay. I know how close you were with your Dad" Queen Melissa said with a slight smile.
"I was angry at first but I'm getting okay now. I thought you would be mad to here the news" Kai explained.
"Well, I'm okay" Queen Melissa shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly.
Doris joined them to eat Dinner. Queen Melissa smiled to Doris. She gave her that welcoming feeling. Her appearance looks kind and warm.
After the dinner, Queen Melissa and her son Kai went to the garden to discuss. Doris found herself walking about, looking at the beautiful well-equipped house.
"Son, what are your plans about the throne" Queen Melissa gaze became intense. This was her nature, anytime she becomes serious, everything about her seems to freeze even the air.
"I don't have plans Mom, and what's with this feeling? I'm not comfortable." Kai Shivered. He wasn't used to her aura.
"You are not supposed to be comfortable with the matter going on, and what do you mean by "You Don't Have Plans" Queen Melissa frowned.
"Oh pls Mom, I'm okay without the throne. I don't have plans to fight my brothers and get the throne. Queen Patricia poisoned the King for her selfish desire and let's leave her alone. Queen Zodah too wouldn't watch for her son to rule. They are already occupied" Kai explained but Queen Melissa gave him a stern gaze.
"Chill, relax mom. What's with those eyes?" Kai asked his Mom and she smiled in disapproval.
"I'm not relaxing and definitely Patricia won't have that throne to herself. What do you think, she poisoned my husband and she wanna have the throne? and you are also going to let her? That's hilarious!!" Queen Melissa thundered. She couldn't believe her son could be so naive.
"Mom, I'm happy like this. Having you and Doris is enough for me. I want to leave a happy life with my family" Kai said persistently. He didn't want war to happen and his family get hurt. He wouldn't be able to forgive himself. He very much know that his brothers hated him more than the devil.
"If you want to be happy, then fight to get that throne. Matthias and Lincoln can't watch you staying behind in the battle without doing anything and they wouldn't hesitate but kill you. Why? Because they will think that you would attack them out of the blue" Queen Melissa said, trying to stick some sense into her child's brain.
"Ya trying to say that, Matthais and Lincoln would attack me even if I didn't?" He asked like a confused child.
"Certainly. You very much know how much they despise you. You must get that throne even if they did not attack you" She stood up and a glint of danger glimmered in her eyes.
"What?" Kai became totally confused. was this a task? or a warning?
"Patricia is trying to bring calamity to the vampires land. Only Royal Vampires can seat on that throne and evoke the power to rule. If a stranger seat's on that throne and evoke the power to become king, I can't predict what will happen!" Queen Melissa paused and a devilish smirked appeared on her face and it disappeared immediately.
"Lincoln and Matthais are not the king's child. They are bastards and they claim to be the King's son. They were the king mistresses and they lied about their pregnancy saying that it is the King's child. I really don't want to talk about this. All I need from you now is that you should prepare yourself for what ever that comes and take that throne. Don't let a stranger destroy what you Dad has been building for years" Queen Melissa stopped as she noticed Doris presence. A
She kept looking at everywhere that she didn't seem to notice that she was in the garden.
Kai sensed her smell and he looked to directly to where the sent was coming from. Kai remained numb about what his mother said. He was going to think about it but HELL NO, he couldn't because he had other things to think about. How to make this Strange Wife of his belong to him. Kai gaze became intense on her as he narrowed his eyes. He studied her as her attention was drawn to something else. He studied her perfect curves even if the clothes she wore wasn't exposing. She looked exactly like his mother.
