“Hmm! Alisha, are you still taking care of her?” One of the maids suddenly looked at Alisha who was holding the baby in her hand and asked.
“Yes! Queen has gone out for some business.” Alisha replied but her tone was a little tone. The baby is almost two years old now but she still doesn’t know her father.
Of course, they know he is human but they don’t know who. And, they only learned it when their Queen actually told them. As for his identity, they don’t even know his name.
So, they obviously can’t find him.
?(O)??? “Hush! I heard Queen is on that mission. She even personally apologized to humans for that incident. Does she really have to go so far? They are just a bunch of lowly humans.” The maid snorted while doing her job.
“Are you trying to find fault in Queen’s action?” Alisha stared at the maid and a slight killing intent emerged from her.
“No-no, I was just speaking nonsense.” The maid immediately got frightened. Not only did Alisha have better status than her, but she also had better strength. There is no way she could gather enough courage to enrage her.
Alisha snorted and walked away but at this moment, a figure slowly walked inside.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Lucy walked in with cold eyes. There was not a single trace of emotions in her eyes. The blood was dripping from her hand and splashing on the floor.
“Alisha, keep her away from me for a while! And you, clean the floor!” Without even looking at them, she commanded and walked towards her bathroom.
The maid frighteningly started cleaning while Alisha took the baby away while wondering.
‘What happened to you, My Queen? Did that incident hurt him? Was he living there? Are you angry because of that?’
At this moment, she suddenly remembered a news broadcast.
Eight Months Ago,
Lucy stood in front of a crowd of millions. Her aura was filled with blood and killing intent. As she stared at them, she spoke.
“I, Lucy Bathory apologize to Humans and Werewolves for the recent mass slaughter that my race has caused in Zone B. While humans and werewolves managed to leave together, our people are still hesitating to flow the treaty.”
At this moment, the entire crowd was silent. Even though it was a crowd of millions, even the heartbeat could be heard. The apology from the strongest person in the world.
Not to mention werewolves, even humans didn’t expect that. But, her speech didn’t end there.
“I apologize to everyone who lost their family, friend and dear person in that mass slaughter. So, I hereby declare that I will launch a Killing Sanction. I will investigate every single member of vampire or werewolf or humans who are trying to break the treaty and personally kill them.”
“That’s all!”
Saying so, her body floated towards the sky and she disappeared.
Only after that, did the entire crowd burst into the discussion. Nobody expected that. Not even the people from Bathory Family. Everyone was left dumbfounded.
….
‘Queen, how many lives are you going to take to calm down that anger?’ Alisha looked at the window which belonged to Lucy’s bathroom and muttered.
Inside the bathroom,
Lucy was looking at the mirror while washing her hands. As she looked in the mirror, she suddenly saw his picture but it wasn’t what she wanted to see. It was when he hated her race the most.
“Are you watching me on the news? I promise I will never let anyone hurt you. But, I couldn’t keep my promise.”
At this moment, tears fell down her eyes. She still remembered how late she was. If she had reached there even ten seconds early, she could’ve prevented all of that.
He wouldn’t have gone insane. They could’ve been together. But now, she can’t even visit and comfort him. She can’t even see him more than once a month.
She was living in hell.
After a while, she wiped away her tears and looked at the mirror once again.
“After that incident, I learned something. Even with my strength, I can’t protect my love. But, I won’t let it continue. If I can’t protect you, then I will eliminate all the threats to you, even if that means killing everyone in this world.”
Her killing intent soared out of her bathroom but before it reached Alisha, it instantly returned to her. She still has a daughter outside. She took a deep breath and left.
After that, her slaughter continued.
In no time, Ely was already four years old.
“Ely, what happened? Why are you sad?” Lucy slowly walked toward her daughter who was playing on a swing by herself. She had a sad expression on her face.
“Mommy, they always bully me. They say I am half-blood and I am not allowed to play with them.” Ely bursts into tears and rushes toward her mother.
After picking her up, Lucy pats her head and says “Remember what I told you before. You don’t have to get upset from the people who are beneath you.”
“I remember. They can’t even do simple quadratic equations. They are way beneath me. But mommy, if I don’t play with them, I will be alone. Is there no one smart as me at my age? Will I be lonely forever?” Although she was only four, she was smarter than a ten-year-old kid.
Anything Lucy taught her just prints on her memories. She doesn’t ever forget them and more importantly, she can conclude on her own.
“Of course, there are. In fact, your daddy is a hundred, no thousand times smarter than you. He will never let you feel lonely.” Lucy chuckled at her daughter’s intelligence and responded.
“But mommy, you said I can only meet daddy after a long time. You didn’t even give me the fixed date.” Ely pouted as a trace of sadness appeared in her eyes. She never got a chance to meet her daddy.
“Haha! I have good news for you. Now, you only have to wait three years.” Lucy smiled which brightened both of their moods.
“Hurray! I can finally meet my daddy.” Ely jumped from her embrace and started running around while jumping.
Suddenly, a shadow appeared behind Lucy and kneeled. This shadow was none other than Alisha. She didn’t change a bit just like Lucy.
“Queen, Mr. Adam has agreed to have a private talk with you.”
“Good! I will go and meet him. Keep an eye on her.” Saying so, Lucy floated towards the sky and her body suddenly disappeared. After a few minutes, she reached in front of a castle.
She floated towards the garden and landed there.
“It is quite unexpected to be graced by your presence, Queen.” A voice rang from the side as a man walked towards her. He was around the height of her and had a fit body.
He wasn’t too handsome but still reached the standard of vampires, especially the Lord.
“You seem to be in a good mood. I heard that certain someone saved your daughter.” Lucy spoke with an emotionless expression. She didn’t even smile.
“You are still the same as ever. Though, nowadays those hands aren’t getting dripped with blood. So, what made you come here and meet me?” Adam asked while chuckling.
“What condition did he ask?” Lucy narrowed her eyes and asked.
Adam frowned for a moment but the next moment, his eyes widened. In his mind, countless thoughts ran and after two minutes, he responded “So, it is he. Truly unexpected! I never thought he was the chosen one.”
“Enough with the nonsense! Tell me his condition.” Lucy asked. She wasn’t worried about him finding out about Brian. After all, it won’t be long before everyone finds out.
Adam shook his head “Actually, he didn’t make any condition. In fact, he said that I am a great father. Hahaha! Do you know how funny this thing is?”
Slowly, tears fell down his eyes.
“I am not a great father. I am not a good husband. Because of me, my wife can’t wake up. And, I almost killed my own daughter. What? What did he see in me to call me a great father?”
“Your sacrifice.” At this moment, Lucy suddenly answered but unlike before, there was a great smile on her face.
Adam was stunned seeing her smile. But, he quickly realized what she meant. A Lord of Vampire, the head of the Vampire Family, one of the strongest people, only second to the like of Lucy kneeled in front of a human for the sake of his daughter.
Lucy quickly withdrew her smile and asked “So, he doesn’t hate vampires now?”
Adam shook his head and said “From the information I gathered, he lost his parents to the vampires. Just that won’t be enough to calm down his anger.”
Hearing his words, Lucy’s expression fell and a trace of sadness appeared in her eyes.
“But, when I was with him, he said something to me that stunned me for a while. He said ‘Mr. Adam, If I ever have a daughter, I bet I will be the happiest father in this world’.”
