Midnight Royale

Chapter 34: One Room

The guy who gave them hope to fight for their lives huh? I wanted to oppose what they want because I am sure—their move will put them in danger.

"Are you really sure about that?" Asked Lazarus.

"We are so tired of trying to live within the day— worried and unsure about our tomorrow. We need to do this in order to help the children of future to have a comfortable life."

I smiled a little. They are very dedicated. I see that they are concern with children.

"That is good. But when you all try to go in kingdom, who will take care of your children?" Lazarus asked. "Are you leaving your child alone and do something dangerous? How about their life?"

Their smile fade away in the realization—I mean they could've been aware of it but just disregarding the fact about it.

"Sadly, they need to understand. This is for them."

"But that is... so unfortunate for the children. I hope you can make a plan regarding this. Make sure that you will bring back all of your people safe in town and finally, a bright future..." he told them. "That can happen if proper planning is conducted."

I thought Lazarus would be offended once he heard about how people talk of his father—I was wrong. He is helping people in need and obviously correct whether if it's his family or not.

We are all in silence. Some may have realized what Lazarus said, and some is thinking of Lazarus' idea.

The prince is just sitting their quietly with with a cup of his hand and an alcohol drink. He was busy staring at the bonfire–until our eyes met.

His eyebrow went up—like he was asking what is may problem.

I just shook my head and rolled my eyes. He is too good at this. I thought he is just a person who is too full of himself.

"You are right. You sound like our master Elizar. He wouldn't want us to go their, unprepared and will risk our lives. He wouldn't want that."

"I am curious about the master... Do you have any idea where he lives or go after his teachings? It seems like he is a very good person. I want to learn from him," Lazarus told him again, trying to get information about Master Elizar.

"If we knew, we will go to his house ourselves and ask. But all we know is he is just disappearing into thin air."

"Disappear?" I asked again. So it means... That guy is not just a normal person or like them. Not a human...

"Yes. We don't know him or even his face. He never showed himself underneath those black fabric all over his face."

Master Elizar is a vampire? That's already a big information!

"Thank you for being lost here, brother. Thank you for reminding us to plan and put our safety at least." He chuckled. "I said we should end this night happy but we all ended up talking about this again."

"It's okay. That is nothing. You are welcome."

"You two should stay here for the rest of the night." The woman told me.

Everyone nodded with the idea. Lazarus and I looked at each other. I thought we are going home already!?

Both Lazarus and I cannot do anything when they both push us in the room.

"This is just a tiny room but comfortable than outside. Feel to call my namd if you need a help. Don't be noisy too."

The lady shut the door on us. While here I am, still confused about his last sentence. Don't get noisy!?

Why would I get noisy here!? Everyone will think of us wrong! Why do he even need to tell everyone that we are married!?

"They will separate us if they will know you are just my sister. And don't worry, I won't bite you." Lazarus said and sit on the cold ground. "I will stay here. Rest there," he pointed the dry leaves on the floor.

I pouted but oblige. "Are you reading my mind?"

He glared on me. "It's written all over your face. What will I even read?"

"Aren't you going to sleep—oh you're a vampire..." I am just confused why he gave me the comfortable spot here in the... stone made house.

He didn't answer me so I just made myself comfortable there. I know he isn't going to bite me because I am dirty.

I thought I will feel comfortable after lying down myself–but I can still feel the stone that makes my back ache.

"Can you stop moving? I am trying to rest," Lazarus lowly hissed.

I pouted my lips. "How can I rest here? It's too hard!"

He just chuckled. "Oh, missing the life of being a princess?"

I sighed in disbelief. "I am just saying this is hard..."

"This is the life that they have always. Food isn't available, life is vulnerable... They are such a lovely person but the Aristocrats never do their jobs." He sighed in disbelief.

"Aristocrats?"

"The Aristocrats is the one who heards the human. They attend all the needs of human people as they are the cluster of government who can understand the human needs. They are establish for that reason, but they are just..."

I sighed. "All they do is threaten me inside the castle and told me to be a good princess! If there is this kind of problem... Then they need to do something about this. I believe that one nation is alive because of its people. Without people, it wouldn't function."

Lazarus chuckled with my most deepest statements I said in my entire life! This guy!

"What are you laughing at?"

"This is the second time ai heard you like this. Are you possessed? You are way different than before, my princess."

Oh finally, he noticed that I am a different person! Maybe that Genevierre and I is really different from each other. It's obvious. I am more—argh. I don't know. I just feel like hating Genevierre because of her words last time!

She just told me to d!e.

"Lazarus."

"Hmm?"

"Can you tell me more about myself before? The Genevierre before?" It's time to get know her so I know how will I approach her the next time!

Because I need to get my life back! I don't have any intentions to stay here!
