Xander obeyed the prince command to summon Barret and Gabriel to the palace.Barret already knew what the prince wanted to say and had already planned on what to say.when they were arrived before the prince they bowed their head.
"Why do you summon us prince Adam" Barret said. Adam looked at them trying to study them so he said"i called you here because you both were my brother closest acquaintance and believe we all know my brother is nowhere to be found and had been missing and...." he stopped looking at the both of them.
"And what my prince"Barret said innocently knowing fully well what the prince was about to say.
"I would like to know if my brother,peter ,told you anything about his whereabout" Adam said still trying to know his brother whereabout
" The king announced that nobody would have anything to do with, peter, and as the loyal subject that we are .we would never go against the king command cause our loyalty lies with the prince and no one else" Gabriel said touching his Chest. Not only was Gabriel a talkative he was also a drama queen.
"We all know your loyalty is far from my father's but instead lies with my brother Adam even Xander here knows that talk more of me, you know it will be treason to go against the king and the result is death, thisis the last in case say one of you have decided to speak up"Adam said intensely looking for any doubt in them but when he heard no reply
" I hope all these you said is true cause if I find out you both hid sometimes from me you will have me to contend with" adam said sternly.Adam thought that even if those two men knew anything they wouldn't say a word afterall you can take a horse to a river but can't force it to drink water.
Adam stood up walking towards the door and said to xander " those two are definitely hiding something, I do not trust them also have a tour round the human village and ask them about my dearest brother i have a feeling he's somewhere there"
"Yes my lord" he said slightly bowing his head
*In the present time*
Carlos got off from his bed the house was no longer looking shabby as it used to instead looked lively but it was still without light,there was no need of light afterall vampires do not need light they have sharp sight. Carlos went out of his room and he saw Barret in front of his room staring at him angrily said " you were inside doing nothing have you forgotten that today is the day we have been waiting for!?". Carlos has been thought the etiquettes, manner , speech of being a royalty even the way he walks , he walks majestically.Carlos folded his two hands behind his back and said" worry not, Barret, I'm no longer a child i know what to do". When he went out Gabriel was already in a sullen mood because his little boy was leaving him but he knew it was for the best.
"Don't forget what you went there for, we won't be able to come see you cause it would be risky"Barret said looking at Gabriel to make Gabriel heard him.Carlos was feeling emotional but he didn't show it.He was no longer that little boy who was crying helplessly he Made sure to never show anyone his weakness.

As you read please make sure to comment and rate 🙏 its actually my first time writing,so pls show some love and please bear with typo errors.Carlos walked majestically to the center of the hall and a round of applause was applauded for him.Xander continued announcing the names"Simon Sylvester,paul xerdes, Canon redes, Joshua cannaby, Joseph huffin,james young ,destin treat,zaby Deutsch and fret grey and they are the ten people who are qualified for the next round".They came out and where being applauded ."You shall go back to your base now blood shall be served to you and wait for 2 days for the final stage but they didn't know that the worst was about to come.When they were taken back to their base,Dexter,the second in command followed them and immediately they entered he locked the door."what if no one survives there?"

Carlos has been prepared for this kind of thing, this was just a petty matter to him. Carlos is a halfling but do not think that is his weakness, he's faster, stronger as any other vampire so do not underestimate him.They lashed at Carlos together he held his dagger in one hand, his hand were folded tightly into a fist."You can't fight all of us halfling.You are not as strong as us" one of the vampire said trying to dogde the dagger that was aimed at him." Why don't we find out then.I will make sure your death is a fast one. I'm tired of this game we have been playing all along" Carlos smiled...."I wonder how Carlos is fairing,i hope he isn't injured or worst dea..." Gabriel said worryingly before rudely interrupted by Barret." You have always been a worrisome vampire and do not jinx it with your cursed lips" he said and paused" i know he is doing well afterall i trained him.Do not let me down Carlos" barret said*The next morning*Dexter bowed his head to Xander" you need to se
"You quite remind me of someone" The king said"I am honored my king to remind you of someone "Carlos said knowing fully well who the king was referring to but he just had to pretend to not cause any suspicion from the king side"You will be surprised to know I am not really fond of that particularly person,he irked me and I knew how I dealt with him" Adam said smiling.Carlos hands turned to a fist and thought if only the king knew what I want to do him he won't be telling me all this cause it'll just make his death more painful."I hope you will be fond of me because all my life I have always wanted to serve you, my king ""I hope you would be useful and not like the other guards that just eat and do nothing, you can leave Dexter here will take you to your quarter"King Adam said swinging his hand indicating him to goAdam turned to xander and said" I don't trust that boy have a background check on him and are you really sure Peter son died you know I hate mistakes Xander""yes my
"We have not found the girl,Janette, My king"Evans said. Evans has always hated his father because of how his father treated his mom he knows everything happening in the palace and he knew how his father,Adam,killed his mom and he could never forgive him even though his father is in his grave, that hatred for his father is still deep within himIt has been 10yrs now and the girl is no where to be found he could still remember her face clearly just like the first day "Then find her!!"Carlos said Barret came in the throne room and looked at the boy whom he found in the well that has become a full grown and handsome young man."Are you still looking for her, Carlos can't you find another maiden out there".Barret has always wanted Carlos to get a wife for himself cause the boy look so lonely all by himself ."Barret if not that girl,I will end up a bachelor for the rest of my life and of course you won't get to see your grandchildren so I also think you should join in the search"Car

Meanwhile Carlos was walking down the street of decarov like a commoner dressed in black cloak,his face was not visible, his aura was still intimidating anyone who passes by him must look twice,he went to his old home and reminisced what happened to his parent anytime he remember that tragic memory, he felt helpless,he blamed himself for what happened to his parent assuming he wasn't weak he could have fought alongside them ,he still had nightmare of what happened to his parent he thought that after he has avenged them the nightmares would stop reoccurring repeatedly.Carlos heard noises when he was still wallowing in the death of his parent, he followed the sound and saw a corrupt vampire sucking the human blood.Carlos hate humans ...because of what they did to his parent but he believed some are redeemable until the girl with green eyes and black hair intrigued him."leave that man now unless you want to have a taste of this stick" janette said holding the stick up to try threaten t

While janette went back to her room pondering on what the King told her, she was so furious ,she was not aware when she fell asleep.*The next day* janette was awaken by the rays from the sun which shone brightly on her face. when she looked up she saw it was Stella,"Stella,what?? I need more sleep please "janette begged Stella"but my lady,The King has requested you get ready for the arrival of the council.""What.." janette screamed happily because she will finally be rescued from the claws of this KingUntil she recalled what her and the king spoke about.Janette thought really hard about what The King spoke to her about and concluded that she could not be so selfish and her mood changed instantly."The king had also ordered that we dress you up for the arrival of the council " Stella spoke "oh,is that so. So wonderful of the King to think about me"janette said sarcastically."Stella,you can go,I'm not a baby I'm fine with dressing myself . You can continue with whatever you we

If not for me you would have been somewhere else definitely not in this world" Carlos smirked when he sensed fear emitting from janette,her emoti
While Ariel was glad she has given Vanessa a taste of her own medicine,on her way she saw Andrew,at the front of her small home door about going,"Mr Morris!Mr Morris! Ariel shouted Andrew name from afar,she ran towards him,because of the distance she slightly bent down with her hands on each of her legs heaving for air,"Miss Ariel, I was about leaving"Andrew said "Oh,I am so sorry ,I would have come earlier but I had some things to take care of. Morever you didn't inform me of your arrival, Would you care to come in and have a cup of tea ?"Ariel said"I'm sorry for not informing you earlier.Thank you for your kind gesture but I'm In a rush probably another time."Andrew replied"I read your letter, you need to worry not of the situation,I only ask that you become a witness. is that clear,Miss Ariel?? and I give you my word that I won't let anything befall miss janette.""Of course,Mr Morris I can be a witness, that will be really helpful,Mr Morris I knew you could handle the situati
"I just pardoned you because you are still new like a guest ,but I am not sure I will suppress my saddistic nature and not hurt you the next you disobey me" Carlos went out saying this.Mr Morris who was supposed to travel for the next two days arrived a day after he read the letter written by ariel. Words had reached Andrew ears of the personalities of the king and he didn't want the girl whom he had develop feelings to be one of The King's prey.Andrew went straight to the village magistrate working house,"knock knock"andrew knocked and then he opened the door afterwards,he saw his father with some documents like he was going through them."So you remembered you have a father, Andrew " he said this looking at his son's eyes "of course,afterall my father isn't dead that I'll have to forget him" Andrew said taking a seat opposite his father."You know you should pay me a visit often, so you won't regret it while I'm gone"Mr Morris said "Don't be a drama queen, father,you know I've
"I guess I am too lenient."Carlos said calmly,immediately he said these words he summoned Evans,"Evans,send for the maid who was assigned to janette,here,"he said intimidatinglyJanette looked at him curious on what this man's head was thinking.The maid,Stella, heard the king has summoned her,she became uncontrollably scared,she was shaking though she has never been assigned to the King for any occasion and she was grateful for that,She has heard things going on in the castle, how the king takes blood from the maid and sometimes kill them,Stella's head went too far.When she reached the eating table,"knock knock"stella knocked quietly "Come in"She heard his bass voice,that alone scared her.She stood in front of the king with her head bowed,she heard him say,"what was the job assigned to you to,my lady,"The king questioned herStella gulped "I was... assigned to prepare and dress her"Stella stammered "indeed that was what I spoke, I didn't remember having any blood in my mouth w

"When can I leave??"Janette said calmly Carlos replied "My dearest Janette, you are far from leave instead closer to LIVE "he said and walked.Ariel wrote a letter to Mr Morris telling him of the situation at hand and waited for his response.Mr Morris received the letter and asked the mailman,"When was this letter written""Sire,it was written a day before today but because of the far distance it arrived now and the letter seemed urgent."the mailman repliedAndrew folded the letter and placed it in into his back pocket and sent for his butler,"Get the carriage ready and pack my clothings for a weeks trip" Andrew told the butlerThe butler bowed his head.Janette woke up the next morning feeling lightheaded because the bed weren't like the one at her home,one could dissolve into the bed because of it softness.she had a knock and a maid came into the room that was assigned to her, "Breakfast is served and the king has asked to come to the eating table." the maid named Stacy said.

There are matured content in this chapters you can skip."I have had Evans go to the town but there had been no news of wolves but I will continue with my search,the meeting is over" he stood up and went out of his courtroom and his duke followed suit.Meanwhile,Ariel went to the village Magistrate to inform him.The door was slightly open and she heard noises, she peeped in,She saw the village Magistrate with a girl within her age range,Vanessa,on top of Mr Morris,the village magistrate while his pants were down ,She saw the village Magistrate hand on her bottom guiding her in pleasuring himself.Ariel tiptoed backward and went to her home to wait for Mr Morris son,Andrew,because she knew of the feelings Andrew had for Janette Morever he was connected.Evans was a man of few words slightly bowed"Evans, you know what you need to do and anything she requires it should be done immediately unless ofcourse... her freedom" Carlos said "and get me one maid it felt like days I haven't had
