Chapter 7 - chapter 7

Diana couldn't help the hatred she felt in her heart when she thought of David's plan for her. She told Fiona of everything that went on in the Palace and how David had deceived her right from the start.

After Diana got married to David, he was the most caring and devoted husband to her. He protected her from the attacks of his other wifes and didn't allow any form of harm on her. Diana was touched by his affections that she dislike everything he asked of her without question.

After three months she discovered three men leaving his courtyard secretly. What made her suspicious was the fact that these men were dressed in black cloaks that covered their whole bodies. One of the men used a compass in a weird way then they disappeared. Diana was shocked at the fact that people could just disappear.

She walked back to her courtyard and constantly thought of those men. Why would David have interactions with such people? Where did he meet them? Why would they come to the Palace secretly if they were good people?

After a few weeks, the three men returned this time Diana had been secretly waiting for them. She followed the men into David's courtyard. Then she climbed on the roof of his office where he held a meeting with the three men.

Elder San: "young Prince, we have come for the blood essence I hope this time you were able to acquire it."

Master David sighed with frustration. He had tried so much but everytime he activated the talisman given to him by these masters, some mysterious force would come out of Diana's body and will attack him. He had received so many injuries that he wasn't willing to try anymore.

These three masters assured him of success the last time they came to meet him. How could he have foreseen an even greater attack that he almost lost his life. David was greedy for the throne and these masters had promised to help his ascend the throne but in exchange they needed Diana's blood essence.

They didn't tell him why they needed it but it was of great importance to them. He knew that extracting her blood essence will kill her but what was it to him if she lived or died? What was important was the throne. His father had many wifes and even more children therefore the competition for the throne was high.

He met these people by chance a few years ago. They told him of what they needed and promised him the throne. He thought it will be an easy job but little did he know the severity of it all. First, the blood essence had to be extracted when Diana was still alive. Second, he needed a way to be close to her in order not to be suspicious to others. So he decided to marry her.

Diana was a naive girl. She believed that he loved her dearly, she had even completely cut off ties with her family. What a foolish girl. He visited her chambers every night. He had ordered a glass of milk everytime he went to spend the night with her. The milk was of course spiked with a powerful sleeping drug.

Diana would fall asleep immediately after taking the milk. She never suspected anything as David will only allow her to take the milk after they made love. David activated the talisman immediately but the mysterious force from Diana's body attacked him time and time again. It scared him so much that he was frightened to be close to Diana.

When he failed again and again, these masters asked him to take some blood from Diana so that they could study it and form a suitable way to extract her blood essence without receiving any backlash. It was supposed to be a success but not only did it fail but he was also severely injured. How could these people just swagger in here and make demands of him when he nearly died?

David didn't dare to show his displeasure. He had a flattering smile on his face.

David: "masters, please have a seat. This servant has had some difficulties in acquiring the blood essence. Not only was it unsuccessful but the backlash this time was more severe. It took me two weeks to recover fifty percent of my strength."

Master Dan sneered in contempt. He never agreed to letting this piece of trash help them get the blood essence. However it was difficult for them to extract it themselves as it was against the laws for them to harm those who were considered innocent.

Before joining there force, they had to make a vow never to harm innocent lives, if they harmed them in any way, they will be faced with inner demons that will drive them insane. This was something they learnt the hard way as they had seen some people from there force being driven mad because they broke the vows of not shedding innocent blood.
