The Queen's Legacy

CHAPTER 8

Samara

Dawn came and I am still waiting for my dinner. It looks like my dinner is late for today. Or they don't want to feed me anymore? Am I put in fasting? Maybe I need to save because I'm starting to get expensive. Maybe there is a specific budget to spend for me. I really need to work in order to buy things and buy food.

I am already wearing my sleeping pajamas. It is a pajama coordinate. A red silk button-down long-sleeves and red silk pajama. It is cozy and good to wear. It complements my hair. I wonder who chooses my clothes. He or she is a certified fashionista. I even like the clothes that they gave me here than the clothes I am wearing in my world.

I sat in front of the mirror and brush my long wavy red hair. I smiled, it looks really good. I love the color of my hair because the shade is much more different from the popular redhead actresses I know. Also my green eyes, theyre an intense bright green. It really suits me well. I am lucky to have this beautiful face.

I stood up when someone knocked at the door. When I opened it I saw Susana again. I wonder where is the other maid.

"Madam, the king wants you to join their dinner. You are living in this castle so you should go. They also want to know you better. Please follow me," Susana said.

I was taken aback. Me invited to their dinner? Their whole family? I can't! I can't take the pressure to be with all of those vampires in one place! If the king is already terrifying, then surely the queen will have me dead the moment I step into the dining area. I dont know what she looks like, I havent seen her face yet since I came to this world, what if I make a mistake later?

"Uhm, can I refuse to go? Can you take my dinner here? Tell them that I am feeling unwell," I lied.

"Madam, the king ordered it. It is not a request. You should go right now. Nobody wants the king to be mad," Susana said.

That made me shiver. I nodded immediately and walked outside of my room. I followed her, not minding my clothes. Who cares? They didnt tell me to change it! I can wear whatever I want!

At the end of the hallway, two guards stopped me and Susana. One guard held my wrist and within a second we were transported somewhere. I am in front of a big door.

"Come in, you are taking so long. The royal pure-blooded family is already hungry," the guard said.

I nodded and pushed the two doors. It creaked when I pushed it further.

All eyes were on me. I scanned everyone in the room. I saw the king at the throne of the dining. The queen on his other side who was gorgeous like Lia. On the other side sitting is Chrollo. Karine sits next to him while Lia sits next to the queen.

"Come in, Samara. Eat with us," the queen said with a soft voice.

"Come here, sis! Sit beside me!" Lia shouted and patted the seat beside her.

I nodded and sat beside Lia. The maids served the food. It is a delicious buffet. Blood is also served in the dining. When the maid asked me if I wanted blood, all of their eyes are on me.

"No thanks. I don't want to drink blood," I said with an awkward smile.

"Are you sure sweetheart? You don't feel thirsty? No bloodlust at all?" the queen asked.

"I am sure, my queen. I don't know what the thirst thing you are pointing out feels like," I awkwardly answered.

The queen looked at me with bizarre. I diverted my gaze to my feet because it feels awkward. I shouldn't be here. I am not a visitor, nor a stranger to their kingdom, Im only someone who wants to go back to where I belong. I shouldn't be treated with this kind of treatment. But I am happy that they are not torturing me. Those are the scenes that I saw in the movies.

We started eating. I don't look in front because I will see Chrollo. I still despise him so much. Karine has nothing to do with that but Chrollo might interfere if I become friends with him. Same as my friendship with Lia. He hates my existence here in their kingdom. Even me, I still can't believe that all of this is suddenly happening.

"So, Samara. Next week will be the start of the school year at Mezmarat Academy. Do you have your plans?" the king asked.

I looked at him and realized that I am still not planning things for my stay here. I am still a problematic b***h who can't accept that I am now in a different world living with gorgeous bloodsucking creatures.

"Honestly, I still don't have plans, your highness. I don't know what is the curriculum of that school, what are the rules, how should I enroll, and how should I cope up with my surroundings. I am new to all of this. I don't know when and how to start," I honestly said.

The king nods and looks like he is thinking something. He stopped eating and asked the maid to fill his wine glass with blood. He drank the entire glass of blood before talking to me.

"Don't worry about your tour, my children will help you with that. Chrollo will tour you in the town and you can be with my daughter Lianna when school starts. You can have the same room or rooms next to each other if my daughter wants to. Karine can't help you as of now because he is busy," the king said.

"Also sweetheart, I will buy you glamorous clothes. I will ask my designing team to get your measurements. I love dressing up girls so don't worry about it," the queen added.

I smiled. I can't hide my happiness. They are good to me, they are helping me to cope up with my surroundings. I am happy that even if my start here is not that good, things are changing. I just hope that Nanay Indang and Tatay Basilyo are in a good state.

The dinner ended and everybody went back to their rooms. The queen and king have something to do while Karine needs to settle things with the student council of Mezmarat Academy. Lia needs to call the queen's designing team for some important matters.

And that is the reason why I am walking with Chrollo now. I am not good at directions so he is accompanying me to my room.

"I am sorry if you always need to accompany me–"

"Shut up." His voice is so rough and authoritative! He cut me off not finishing my words. What a jerk he is. "I only do these things because my father told me to. I also consider this as a practice to be the next king. Maybe another peculiar thing will happen again, the same thing as you. At least I don't have the urge to kill that one," Chrollo said and smirked.

He pushed my buttons. I really can't take my anger anymore. He shouldn't talk to me like that. Telling me how he wants to kill me.

I grabbed his arm, which stopped him from walking. He looked at my hand holding him before looking at me. His jaw clenched.

Within a split second, we are in my room. The door banged so loud because he pushed me to the door. He is leaning on me and I am in between his arms. I have no space to escape.

"What did I tell you about saying things? Samara Ivy Saxon, you do have a sharp tongue. You should study how to shut that up. That might put you in danger," he said.

"You are the king but you lack morals. Maybe I am the one who should teach you how to respect those people who are lower than you, Prince Chrollo. You always threaten me that you want to kill me," I said calmly.

His jaw clenched again and sniffed my neck. That made all hair in my body stand up. What is he doing!?

"Shut up your mouth, Samara. I might bite your neck. Even if you are not obedient, I still want to taste your sweet blood. Don't make me lose my temper and drink all of your blood out. I will make this one pass. I will see you tomorrow or the other day for the tour. Don't make me mad, Samara. I am scarier than the king," Chrollo whispered and disappeared from my sight.

My legs are wobbly because of what he said. I sat on the floor and looked at my knees. What did just happen?

He sniffed my neck and warned me about things he dislike about me. Yet, I will see him these following days for the tour. How can I stay with him if he always wants to kill me? Why does he despise me a lot?

Damn, that seductive hot vampire is killing me! And this f*****g brain of mine still thinks that he is hot! He wants to kill me yet I do have a taste for him. No, this is not happening. I shouldn't like that asshole. Maybe I see him as a threat or cool guy something. Besides, he might have these attractive powers. He attracts me when he is mad so I can't speak anymore. I should learn more about vampires.

I stood up and walk to the window. I opened it and smell the fresh air. There is not so much pollution here, not like in my world.

I've been looking in the mirror for so long.

That I've come to believe my soul's on the other side.

All the little pieces falling, shatter.

Shards of me,

Too sharp to put back together.

Too small to matter,

But big enough to cut me into so many little pieces.

If I try to touch her,

And I bleed,

I bleed,

And I breathe,

I breathe no more.

I sang Breath No More by Evanescence. Singing calms me down even if I am not a good singer. I don't even memorize songs, I just listen to them and try to remember at least one verse. That will make me calm.

The wind splashing through my face became colder. I closed the window and lay on my bed. This room is big for me. I am like a princess here but I know I am not.

I pulled up the blanket and tried to sleep. I have so many things to think about tomorrow. I need to plan everything because I still don't have any plan to do. Plans can save me here in this world. Because when I go outside, there are more vampires that will want to suck my blood. And in Mezmarat Academy, surely vampires will make fun of me. I am an ordinary creature for them. Nothing is special from a Samara Ivy Saxon.

I tried to sleep and it took me half an hour to let my mind rest. But something woke me up when I felt something touch my neck.

"You smell so sweet."

I don't know if I heard it here in my room or I am thinking of that in my dream. No one is in here and all entries are closed. Maybe I am just hallucinating.
