Eira’s POVSummoning courage, I stepped back a bit but the guard drew me by my collar and delivered a heavy slap to my slap. I instantly fell to the floor.“Stop hitting her, “ I heard Dolphus' loud voice coming from the cell and also how he was hitting the cell with his bare hands.I almost shouted for him to move back, if he comes in contact with the Silver irons, the toxin will easily penetrate his body and right now I can't give a Silver immune plant to chew on.I wanted to shout at him to move back but I couldn't because I realized that the leader would notice that it wasn't as if we were not affected by Silver cells, it was because we had an immune plant with us.“Continue hitting me because I won't tell you why we are still alive even in my last breath, ” I said to the leader as I held my swollen cheeks.That bastard! He was the first person to ever raise his hands on me! Even if he had commanded someone to do it, he was still the first person to hit me and I will never forget

Eira’s POV“No, it's not. But the other one, I will tell you after you treat Selene and she's hale and healthy,” the Vampire King answered and I instantly frowned.What is the suspense for? It better not be that I should marry him because I don't even see myself married to a Vampire not to talk of their King.“Hope it's not among those things I said earlier?” I asked slowly since I couldn't stop myself from not asking no matter how scary he was trying to look. I need to know where I stand and if I could do it.“No, it's not.” He answered and I heaved a deep breath.“Well then, you got yourself a deal, ” I replied, throwing him a smile. Forgetting that he wanted me to be scared of him.Yes, I'm definitely scared of him but I don't know what it is about these Kings that makes them think that others should be fearful of them.I get it, they are supreme and all but….Well, anyhow. I'm a foreigner and a guest here, so I have no choice but to act and pretend that I'm a shy, scared, and terr

Eira’s POV“Wait, the said bodyguard, is he big and bulky with black hair?” I asked, describing Dolphus and she nodded.Ah?Who did Dolphus get to the Princess’s Palace?As if listening to my thoughts, Amber replied to me.“The Princess came to check on you earlier but you were fast asleep. So she asked your bodyguard to go with her.“Ohhh, ” I exclaimed and Amber nodded again as we made our way to the princess's palace.“Around what time did the Princess come to my courtyard?” I asked again, calculating how much Dolphus would have suffered in my stead.Even though I know that Selene is nice and harmless, I also know that she can talk people’s heads off.“Some hours ago. Four hours to be exact, “ Amber replied and I drew a sharp breath.Four hours!! Ahh!When we got to the Princess’ Palace. I couldn't help but increase my pace, leaving Amber behind me since I already knew the way from there.Immediately Dolphus spotted me, he frowned his eyes and spread his hands out in helplessness a

Eira’s POVI sincerely didn't want to hear it from the maids or the guards in the Palace because I knew that the incident must be a very heart breaking one for Selene. I want her to slowly let go of her demons because that's the only way she can overcome her social phobia.“I will tell you some other times, okay?” She replied after a while and I voiced my reply for her. I told her she could tell me anytime she feels comfortable and I wasn't in a rush.“I think the food already got cold, ” Selene said, indicating the meat that the maids brought when Dolphus left and my stomach started gurgling. That was when I noticed that I haven't eaten anything since I woke up and I was caught up with everything that I had forgotten to eat.I looked at the meat on the stools and checked if it was still warm but it wasn't. “Should they bring another?” Selene asked, after seeing that I didn't answer for a while.“I think I will just eat it like this, ” I answered and took a bite from the meat but I c

Eira’s POV“Me? Protect a Vampire princess? Did you know how many enemies the Vampire King would have? Most of them might even be waiting for her to just take a step out of the Palace and then execute her, ” Dolphus argued and I suddenly felt a headache pooling in my temple.Why did I feel like Dolphus is thinking too much about it?“Can’t you just discard that thought?” Dolphus asked but I shook my head. “Of course not, I can't, ” I quickly answered.“So how did you intend to go about it?” “Well, if Selene agrees, we will just disguise ourselves as males and leave. What could possibly happen?” I let out after a while and Dolphus stared at me in shock.“Think about this very well, Eira, you can't be willful here. This is not your Pack and we don't know anyone here.” Dolphus advised and I nodded.“Don’t worry, I will think about it again and I also won't do it if Selene is not interested. It's all for her own good,”Dolphus sighed heavily. “When did she grow on you so much that you w
