Chapter 34: There Was Never An 'Us'!

p<anda> Pricilla was in the holy room where the Artus would usually sit to give a sermon to his loyal children. Or, in other words, Artus' throne room! Pricilla was walking around the head chair placed at the front of the room. She was looking at the gold-crafted seat intensely, and once he entered, Artus could see that she wanted to seat in it very badly.</anda>

But even Pricilla knew that it would be sacrilege to sit in that seat. Only Artus was allowed to sit there! No matter how much the two of them did not see eye to eye, Pricilla still held high regard for the church, and so she respected the seat!

Pricila started to talk once Artus entered and bowed to her as the queen.

"I don't think it has been ten years since we last spoke. I wanted it to be longer but I didn't have a choice this time,"

Artus felt his eye twitch. He knew that she didn't like him but why did she always try to insult him in that backward way? Just say what you want and leave here you bitch! It's not like you're the kind of person I want to spend my night with!New novel chapters are published on

"So to what do I owe the pleasure of your visit? I don't think that the church was expecting you for any ceremonies,"

Artus said this with a smile and he was a bit surprised when he saw Pricilla frown. She would usually take this opportunity to throw a jab at him as well. This was strange! There are very few things that could make Pricilla this worried! Artus could just feel like there was something wrong! And the next thing that Pricilla said made his blood run cold!

" I don't think the hero is really dead,"

Artus tried his best to see if what he heard was right! Did he just hear her right? Maybe she really said something else! There is no way that he heard her right!

Pricilla said this to Artus with a glare and he grit his teeth while trying to stop himself from strangling her to death! He hated her! He hated her so much! She already promised that she would let go of that secret if he helped her to kill the hero before and she is still bringing it up now!?

Pricilla was breathing heavily after shouting at him and she forced herself to calm down before giving him a warning stare.

"Just make sure that you are careful for now. The hero might come at any time and you do not want him to catch you when you are not prepared. If he is the demon lord then he already has an army. We are preparing our own army but we don't know when he will come so it is not going so well. Just be careful Artus, that is all I came to tell you,"

Once Pricilla finished, she started to walk out and Artus bowed respectfully as she passed him. He has to respect her as the queen but he was so angry! She was telling him what to do!? She is the one that needs to watch her back! If the hero ever comes and Artus is in a sticky situation then don't think that he will not expose her to save himself! She is just as dispensable as he is!

Priscilla left the town of Noir that evening and she hoped that Artus would take her warning seriously. She might not like the priest, but she knows that in this world of lies and treachery, it is very rare to have anybody that you can call an ally. They might not be friends, but he was the only other person she could call her ally. Priscilla already went to meet the other member of their former party and it didn't go so well. The priestess that uses defensive magic was hostile and she didn't want anything to do with Priscilla anymore, so Artus is the only person that she has left. Dammit! She hopes this entire thing is a lie! If that hero is back then there could be serious problems for everyone!

.......

Noir was a ghost town late at night. During the night, people would stay indoors and shut their doors. They would barricade it with wood and then place holy water at their doorsteps. It was a warning to all vampires to keep out. Even if the people had gotten rid of many vampires, they were still a serious issue! Just one vampire is cable of killing a hundred humans easily! The stronger ones can wipe out an entire town in a night if they try! The humans here might trust in their god, but they don't trust him enough to leave their houses unguarded!

During these nights, the vampires would come out from their hiding places and move around. They couldn't go near houses because of the holy water, but they knew that no matter how careful the humans are, there will always be idiots that come out! It might be that errant teenager that doesn't believe in the folktales of vampires and wanted to go outside to meet their friends. Or that little kid that just got lost in the night and can't find his mother. They would serve as a good meal for the vampires!
