Damian walked alongside Serana toward the main gate of the castle where a vampire waited.
"Who is this vampire that wants to see you?" Damian asked.
Serana was visibly displeased to have to et the vampire, making Damian wonder who was the man.
"Gerard Lokir, the vampire prince from another family. He is trying to marry , which I think is hilarious considering I am the Queen, and I don't need a king to rule. Well, not a scumbag king like him, that is."
-Serana: "If Damian was the king, then maybe I could think about it? Ahh, what am I thinking? I only t him recently!!!"
Damian had already guessed it was sothing like that. Serana was a gorgeous woman who was single, so the vampires from other families would try to get her hand.
"How many vampire families are here?" Damian said.
He still did not know what that underworld was, but one thing he knew: the vampires were the ones ruling it!
There were still humans and other beasts, but the vampires were those in command.
"Hum, let see. Around 8 families, I think. There are also vampires who don't have any family, so our exact number is sothing I don't know about," Serana said.
The guard who ca warn them about the prince was beside them, walking with Serana toward the gate, "your highness, don't you think this is too much to tell to an outsider?"
She stopped, looking at him with a deadly gaze, and said, "why don't you take care of your life? Are you looking to die so young?"
"N-No, I am sorry," the guard said, lowering his head.
Most of the vampires there saw humans as food, and food only. It was strange to see their Queen being so friendly with one.
For a mont, the guard felt his life ending, but Serana was in a good mood with Damian around, and forgot about what the guard said.
"Well, look who it is," Gerard said when the main gate opened.
His gaze instantly fell on Serana, and he was almost salivating just by looking at her body. But then he noticed there was soone else beside her.
"Who is this?"
Gerard spoke with aggression, as if he had any power or could control with who Serana walked around.
"A toxic person who is not even her boyfriend. What is this? He looks like the teenagers from Earth," Damian thought.
Serana hated the man, and she could not endure looking at his face, but she still had to invite him in, or else Gerard's family would co knocking and annoy her even more.
- Serana: "What should I tell him? If I say Damian is my boyfriend, he will not mind it, right? I an, Damian will not mind it. I don't care about what Gerard thinks, anyway."
She look at Gerard, right into his eyes, and said, "this is my boyfriend. Any problem?"
Damian almost choked when he heard that.
"When did I beco a boyfriend?"
The one who was most shocked by the information was not Damian, but Gerard, who could not find words to answer her.
"Boyfriend? A human? Are you insane? How can he be better than ?" Gerard said, angrily staring at Damian.
He saw Damian as a threat, one that he had to kill for him to have Serana! The man was a complete madman.
"He is fantastic, hehe," Serana smirked, but then returned to her straight face, "the guard will show you your room. You can stay for a few days."
That guard now did not doubt Serana's words, and did exactly what she told him to do with mastery, showing Gerard his room, which was far away from where Serana slept.
"Are you sure he will not try to kill ?" Damian asked while they were on their way back to the garden.
"He will, certainly. But if he tries, I will be the one killing him," she said.
She will attack another vampire family just to protect Damian, and that was lovely! Of course, it was not the only reason. Gerard was a scumbag and deserved it.
They returned to the beautiful garden behind the castle, sitting on a bench made of solid rock, looking at the flowers, slling their aroma.
"You know, if I had the chance, I want to leave this place."
"My parents died, and that is why I am the one in charge of the family. It is hard to be the leader, and there is no one I care about with anymore…"
"The other families are always pushing, trying to attach this territory to theirs. They see as weak, and they are right…"
Serana opened up her heart to a 'stranger', which was sothing she never believed she would do. Damian could feel her sadness and the tough burden she carried on her shoulders.
He stood there, looking at the flowers, trying to find words, until he said, "I am not from this place, but from a world that is up from where we are. There are beasts there too, and humans. Humans are the ones who are in charge of the world, not vampires. In fact, I never heard about vampires, only in movies."
Damian did not know if it was right to tell her those things, but in that sentintal mont, he did.
"I plan on finding a way back after I am healed. Would you… would you be up to go with ?"
- Serana: "What? He is from another world? How is this even possible? I have never went in an adventure, and this one surely looks like a good one. If I go, then there are no more vampire problems to deal with, and he will be there with ."
"I want to go! I know nothing about your world, but you will teach , right? There is no one that links to this place anymore. I just want to leave… please, take with you!"
Damian was happy to have her go with him. He liked her, and she knew that place better than him, so finding a way out with her would be a lot easier.
"Alright. Do you want to leave tomorrow?"
"Of course! Let's pack up then," Serana said, smiling, showing her two white fangs.
Gerard was looking at them through the window. He could not hear what they were saying, but he did not need to.
"You are too close to her… I will kill you tonight!"
