Chapter 22: Beg for Desire?
1052 Words
I am really amuse how this century feel comfortable with layers of fabric. But it was undeniably nice, powerful, and feels privilege.
I cannot even lift a brush with the life a had. Now as a princess, I am getting dolled up for no reason–sequins and diamonds are all over me.
I am talking about this again because Elena, the princess of Amadeo and Queen to the other Kingdom is in front of me. He is wearing an emerald ball gown with a gold details on it and a tigh corset that making her body plump and all.
But what bothers me is her emerald earings that is... so big.
"Genevierre! I heard what happened!" She hissed on me. "Now where is my great brother!? He deserves to die!"
I took a step back when her fangs started to show up.
"I-I am... already okay, Queen Elena—"
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
"Okay!? You almost died in this kingdom again, Genevierre! This place isn't safe for you anymore! I should do something!"
I panic. Before, I like the idea of running away using Elena. But now that I realize the presence of Genevierre's parents and the cruelty of the Aristocrats... i think that is not a good way.
Unless she is also going to take her parents. I am very up for it! As long as I won't hurt anyone once I disappear.
I held Elena's arm to stop her from being mad at least.
"It's okay. I am okay. He just sipped too much blood from me," I told her the reason lightly.
Not too much—he almost drained me!
Elena gradually calm down when I said that. From anger to confusion.
"He did what?" Her tone seems very surprised.
I am glad that Elena is the first person who react this way. At least, I know someone will care for the real Genevierre here once I get back.
"He sipped my blood—don't worry. I already recovered!" I chuckled on her and laugh. "Do you want to eat something? The garden is ready for you..."
From being confused, Elena seems so surprised—then shock. The emotions in her face is mixing up!
I immediately attended to Elena by holding her arms.
"Elena, are you okay?"
She didn't talk and just looking surprised. Did she had a stroke because of her dress?
I was about to call the servants when Elena pull me to her and look at me in my eyes.
She leaned her face on me.
Seriously... What's with these vampires and leaning to my face?
"Oh god," Elena whispered as if she saw a ghost. "Do Lazarus likes you?"
Now it's my turn to feel dumbfounded. Then—I burst out in laughing. I took a step back and laugh hard.
Lazarus? Likes me? If I didn't beg last night for an agreement—I would die the next day or next week!
"Where did you even get that?" I chuckled in disbelief.
Elena's reactions could be surprising sometimes.
"Did you forgot!?" Elena asked me, shouting.
I look from my left to right—trying to comprehend what is she talking about.
Elena grabbed my shoulders and shake me, trying to wake me up.
"You fool! Getting drained by a bite is a compliment!" She shouted on my face.
I didn't get what is she trying to tell. Getting drained is a compliment?
"W-What?"
She shook her head. "Argh, I immediately run here because I thought it's his fault bu—oh god! You are making a progress, Genevierre!"
Elena is laughing, chuckling—then will clap her hands. She looks very happy while I am just staring at her.
Weird. Vampires are also weird. Moody. Bipolar!
When Elena notice that I am quite, she looked at me in disbelief.
"Don't you get it?"
"Get what?"
She put her hands in her mouth and laugh.
"Oh! Getting your blood sipped down by a vampire is a compliment, Genevierre! That is a basic knowledge! If you faint and feeling death–it meant they are hungry for your blood! It means you taste very delicate for them!"
What?
I am still processing Elena's words. It means I am tasty for him? Is that even the right word?!
I felt my cheeks burning. Oh god, why do I feel this way? Another thing....
"It almost killed me, Elena. Should I be happy with that?"
So this is why people around me doesn't tell anything. Because it was a good sign for them?
"Nah, if he really drained you to death you are already dead. You feel drained because this is I guess, your first time?" She isn't sure.
But I feel dying that night!
"Then did something happened to the both of you!? You woke up yesterday, right?"
"Y-Yes..."
"He wants you! Did something happened on the bed!?" She chuckled.
My eyes widened in disbelief. "Nothing happened last night! I just begged something from him!"
Elena stopped from laughing and get serious. Ah, what a swift exchange of expression.
"Begged? He is the one who suppose to beg!"
I shook my head. No! That's not it! "It's about an agreement.... That he shouldn't touch me and all. Nothing unusual happened last night!"
"Agreement?"
"Yes... I told Lazarus not just to barge in my room and ask for blood because it will be the death of me."
Elena just laughed. "Don't tell me he agreed?"
"It was a long time of convincing." I shook my head and remembered what happened last night.
It was hard to convince the brat prince, but I manage to have an agreement with him and sealed it with out blood.
"Oh gosh, my brother will be whipped! He will go and beg for you then! His desires for you will go wild!" Elena chuckled in glee. "I want to see that hell beg for you!"
Oh gosh... What is she even talking about? It's not that!
"I think it will never go that way—begging for blood is possible. But desires?"
Lazarus made it clear that he never saw me as a woman of that. That grunt.
Elena just chuckled and move her brows as if something interesting will happen.
"You will never know until it happens, Genevierre!"
