Chapter 2 - Cruel king

I've searched all I could, every corner of this kingdom and other kingdoms around but i can't seem to find that source of power that I need to rule the four kingdoms". "How can i rule four kingdoms if I can't acquire the power I need", he stumps angrily.

"Dear master I your humble servant promises to find any possible means for you to gain that ultimate power". "very well Diagh you are indeed a trustful servant I shall make you a powerful leader among my subjects and maybe even a ruler of one of the four kingdoms when I have taken over them, your loyalty is befitting of a royal reward". "Thank you my lord I beg to take my leave, Diagh said bowing down. Zamiel nodded reminding him of the reward he would get if he was able to fulfill his promise. "I shall go round the four kingdoms and find that power lord zamiel wants.

"I am lord Zamiel! No one, no one dares defile me... Take him to the demons, they shall feast on his soul and his body shall be left to wroth!". "Lord Zamiel please, I have a family, they need me please, the man was on his knees, cold shiver passed down his spine but yet sweat ran down his face. "I shall do anything, anything lord Zamiel please, the old man cried as he spoke. Zamiel's eyes scanned the man from his head to his feet before he heard Zamiel's wish, "GIVE ME YOU'RE DAUGHTER AS A SERVANT". For some minutes the old man stopped crying. He looked at his beautiful twenty year old child, her mother had died during child birth and he had to care for her ever since.

"I.....I, the man shuttered, he was lost for words when his daughter swooped in with a reply. "Yes lord Zamiel, I choose to be your servant, please just let my father live. Zamiel gave her a scornful look and then let out a loud laughter before his eyes pierced into the girls soul. She was shivering, she felt like the ground should swallow her at that moment when she heard Zamiel's reply. "Leave my sight! Hearing this Venice the new house maid bowed down to Zamiel before rushing up to pick her father. When she was sure that they were out from sight and ears, he pulled his daughter in a hug; why did you risk your life to save me? I have lived my life its time for you to live yours but you decided to be in a cage instead. Venice smiled sadly, "I love you papa" was all she manage to say before tears dropped uncontrollably from her eyes.

Zamiel was like a God when it came to looks. He had long wavy dark hair and his skin wasn't like that of a vampire. As the vampire king, he was given various nutrious treatment including blood pills for proper nourishment. His dark wavy hair complimented his slightly wined coloured eyes, he's aura was a very powerful one even the demon king feared. Zamiel's real name was Alexander but when he came in contact with the power of the demons they called him Zamiel and every since then, he beared that name not wanting to let go.

A power thirsty vampire who had attained a level of power that wasn't explainable but still he wanted more. He read different books written by his vampire ancestors and had sworn to find that true power the vampire couldn't attain. He was driven by his selfish will, his drive for power would stop at nothing even if it was to hurt those closest to him. A worthy man to behold, a man every girl would have dreamt to settle down with but his cruelty was beyond measures, his heart was made in stony ground, no sympathy, no emotions,and no feelings. All women avoided him thus he never had interest in them. He always said; "when you want power, careless and seek more". He felt women would be his weakness so he avoided them those who didn't avoid him weren't alive to tell the story.

Flashback!

"Zara! Listen to me, I know what is best for you". "The vampire kingdom is divided into four (4) part and all are being ruled dukes placed there by lord Zamiel. Those dukes came for your hand in marriage, they were able and willing suitors but you rejected them, why would you do that? Tell me!

"Mother don't you want the best for me? I want lord Zamiel, if not him no one else mother. Her mother(Lena) hearing this statement couldn't help but stiffen. "He's a cruel man and for ages no one has been able to melt that stony heart Zara, all that tried have Di......

Knowing where her mother was going she cut her short; "oh please mother those women lack the skills to charm a man trust me mother I can do this. She smiled with pride,"wish me luck mother because he sent for my presence in his palace and after this meeting, I won't be just the ordinary princess Zara but the betrothed to lord Zamiel. Lena tried to make her see reason why she shouldn't carry out her plan but her determination grew more. "Don't bother mom because now all that matters is the power I will get from being lord Zamiel's betrothed. Lena signed she was the dutchess of the eastern province and Zara was her only child.

"This girl has gone beyond my control she complained to her special advicer. "What did she do this time, he asked in worry trying to get more information on the matter. "She, she wants to go see lord Zamiel, to, to her voice shuttered on its own, her lips trembled and tears began to fall from her eyes, to profess her love for him". "The tea cup sir Williams the special advicer held fell to the ground. Before he could come back to reality the maids were already there to perform their duty. "What? That's sucide! Williams shouted out in worry.
