A silver haired woman wiped away a tear that slipped out of her purple eye.Her beloved daughter is getting married.
Even though she had seen the vision of her daughter's marriage to the vampire prince before in her dream,she just couldn't help but feel emotional now that is happening in the real life.
She should be feeling sad for not being able to attend her only daughter wedding but she is not.She is so much happy for being able to watch from the sidelines.
It is a great advantage she has as the Queen of the magical realm.Her duties did not grant her a lifetime chance with the love of her life and her beautiful daughter she left behind,she did not have enough time of being a good spouse and mother to them.She is still grateful for what she has left,her kind son (Roith),the magical realm and her consoling magic.All is not lost in as much as prince Ephraim can protect her daughter well.Her strong daughter has grown up well and she is grateful for that.She owe Charles a favor which she will pay by secretly protecting him.
As she observed everyone present at the wedding reception through the perception of her son's magic,she took in a deep breath when her eyes picked up her husband joyous face and at the same time,she felt a dull ache in her chest.He looks so happy as the bride's father while she the supposed bride mother is here,in her crystal room drowning in the guilt of leaving his innocent ass behind with a little girl and not being there for him as his mate.She quickly divert her gaze when his yellow eyes connected with Roith's purple ones.
A small chuckle left her lips at her attempt of escaping his keen sense.It seems Charles had not changed much even as a half vampire,he could still detect the subtle presence of magic.
In her haste to avoid his eyes,her gaze met a vampire which she recognized as the youngest Duke of the vampire kingdom.She focused on him because something felt fishy about him,his eye ball.Such an odd colour,her brows furrow.How can a vampire eyes look so dark without dark magic? Is he possessed?
Queen Gloria concluded that either he is a rogue vampire,or because someone is making use of his eyes,probably a rogue witch.A normal witch can't try the magic without turning to the otherside.She could feel that the rogue witch has no intent of harming its host which is a surprise,seeing that the host is an important vampire.[Maybe she is just curious and wants to see how the dangerous vampire wedding is]
Meanwhile,in the rogue witch palace.
Leah shivered when she saw the witch prince focus on Duke Martin,his eyes particularly.She thought she had been discovered but she was surprised when the prince shrugged at her before looking away and she relaxed her body immediately.That was so close,her Queen will not kill her with all dangerous tasks.
Charles stared at his glowing daughter.He cannot deny it,this is his first time of seeing his baby so happy after her mother left
He clenched his right hand while trying hard not to think about his wife,the split image of his daughter.He can't lie that he has not been seeing the image of Gloria in Euphorial whenever he becomes thirsty for his mate blood.Now their daughter is looking so happy today and he wished she was there to see and share the happiness with them.His gaze wandered to the witch prince with his beloved purple eyes and his eyes widen in surprise when their eyes met.
Familiarity! The subtle presence of that same magic he knows so well.It belongs to his witch wife,Gloria.He took a look at the prince again but he was disappointed because the presence he felt was gone,she ran away.
He is feeling so much happy because it seems his wife has not forgotten him,for her to risk coming here for his daughter.He wiped away the tears his tears of joy as he focus his gaze back on Euphorial.
Euphorial has never felt this kind of joy,the marriage bliss.She smiled at her father and the few vampires she knew present.
"Princess Euphorial Lived it is time for you to meet the important people of the kingdom" Kayla whispered to her as her gaze travel over the room.
"Let me introduce you to the vultures sister" Geyra winked at her and they all laughed at her sarcasm.
"I do not think brother will allow you to feed her to the vultures twin" Grace replied her twin in her stead.
Grace,Kayla,Joy and the bride followed Geyra since she is the social one among the princesses.
"Your highnesses" the ladies from Queen Slyvia side greeted them and Geyra introduced all of them to her.
"I am Maddie your highnesses" Maddie eagerly introduced herself to them when they got to where the Dukes were standing.
"She is Duke Martin's daughter" Geyra informed and her eyes widened because the duke looks so young as a father to her age mate.
"I'm actually his sister,people tend to mistake me as his daughter since they don't believe that the King will make a noble duke without a family" Maddie quickly explained herself because she wants the princesses to remember her as the sister and not the daughter of the youngest Duke.
Euphorial smiled in amusement.She likes her bravery and composed nature.It would have been nice if she wasn't a friend to that proud Keith.
"Okay Maddie can you leave the way,we will like to move on to the next person?" Kayla demand.
"Pardon me! I know we got off the wrong foot with what happened in the market but can we be friends?" She asked Euphorial boldly.
"What a loyal friend" Grace rolled her eyes.
"I and Keith are not actually friends.We just belong to the same class.It is in our culture to go out with the other female nobles just to mingle,so we are not exactly close" Maddie stated her reason while blinking at princess Euphorial.
"You can be my friend" Euphorial announced.........
