[Let us go inside to have breakfast before you leave.I think my daughter would have been ready by now],Euphorial's ear picked up her father faint words and she remebered that she was still a vampire even if she can't drink blood her hearing is slightly above that of a normal witch and a human.She decided to wait at the door for them.
From afar she could see her father laughing with Ephraim and she thought they seem too close for the people just met,maybe because they are vampires she concluded in her mind.She then smiled when she saw them moving closer.
'Good morning father,Ephraim and Mr.Damon' she politely greeted amd they answered her.
'Kayla tell the chef to serve the cooked food those traveling need to eat before going' her father instructed as they began to eat.
"Hope you have packed all your things Euphy?" Ephraim asked in order to have a conversation with her.
'I have,it remain only my books in the library.I will pack them after breakfast.Can i bring my maid along?(she nodded towards Kayla who wss coming in with the maids serving the food)' Euphorial asked him.
"You can since you want to.You are free to ask anything from me" She immediately beamed with happiness when he agreed with her and he smiled at her happy giggle.
'Are you not supposed to ask for my permission first?' Charles asked jealously.
'I know you will agree that was why i didn't ask you,after all you can't reject your cute daughter' Euphorial said as she made a cute face at her father who laughed loudly before asking everyone to start eating.
After breakfast Euphorial went to the secret section in the library she had created to pack the book she owns which is illegal in human standards.When she finished packing the books into a box she dropped by her room to pick the ones she secretly kept there.
Outside the mansion she saw that even Kayla is already standing with the rest it remains only her.
'Have you packed your stuffs into the load carriage Kayla?' She asked her friend.
'I have my lady,i don't have much to pack'.
"I have called one of my coachman from my house to drive the load carriage so we will be boarding the expensive one". Ephraim informed them and they all entered after Charles hugged his daughter goodbye.
Inside the now moving carriage there is a total silence.Ephraim was just staring at her without saying nothing and she continued to blush under his gaze.She looked outside the window to see that sun has began to set.
'We are nearing the forbidden Forest' came the voice of Ephraim's coach man and Euphorial immediately tensed because she had read about the forbidden forest that covered up the vampire kingdom,and the realization came to her that she is not going to live among the disrespectful villagers again.She will be living with blood sucking night creatures who at least will respect her because of their prince.She looked at her friend that was sleeping beside her in guilt as she thought of how she will fair among vampires when she is a human,she should have not asked her to come with her,she was being selfish at that time.Her train of thought was stopped when Ephraim suddenly carried her from her seat and threw her to the other side of the carriage.Her eyes widen when she saw an arrow pierce where she was sitting earlier.The sleeping Kayla was now awake and shivering in fear along side Euphorial.
'Shit! My prince rogue vampires are here! I think there is a rogue witch involved,the witch was the one who shot the magical poisonous arrow' Damon alerted Ephraim who jumped out after making sure Euphorial and her friend is safe in the carriage.
"That will explain how they were able to move closer to us without making any sound.The rogue witch must have created a sound barrier for them" Ephraim said while he approached his now dead coachman who had been shot by the poisonous arrow,the same arrow that almost hit his Euphy.
"Damon i need you to keep them busy while i perform a protective barrier on the carriage" he said to his aide.
While Damon was keeping the rogues in front busy,Ephraim was almost done with his barrier but his heart slipped from his chest when he heard a painful cry from the half shielded carriage.He immediately disappeared and appeared back in the carriage to find a rogue sucking the neck of Kayla's neck while his beauty was curled up in a corner shivering and crying helplessly for her friend.
Ephraim immediately tore out the rogue heart in anger for making his beauty cry and he quickly give his blood to the almost dying girl while he concentrated on the half done barrier.
"I will be back.Make sure that you do not leave this carriage.I will make sure to avenge your friend" Ephraim said to her in her state of shock when he became sure that his barrier was done.
