“I have given up so much for him. How dare you say I don’t know how he feels.” Lucy roared as her killing intent soared. She didn’t make a move but her aura was rapidly increasing.
“See! This is why. You always wanted to get everything just because you are the strongest. You think you can take away anything you want with your strength but each time you try, you miserably fail.”
“That’s why you aren’t his wife. That’s why you weren’t there when he needed you the most. Sacrifice? Don’t make me laugh! The only sacrifice you have ever done is killing those bunch of outbreak vampires.”
“You have done nothing more than that. And, you are asking for his love? I have done so many things but I never forced him to love him. I was just waiting. I waited eight years and if I had, I would’ve waited even more.”
“You know what? I can even blame your race for almost taking my chance to propose to him. If your race hadn’t done that, he wouldn’t have hated other races.”
“I don’t want to lecture on what you did wrong or right. Today is Ely’s birthday and I don’t want her to find out anything that should be discussed between adults.”
“We have been out for so long. She would be suspicious so let’s go inside. And, let me give you a piece of advice. Your daughter was the only reason I successfully entered his life.”
“She could also be the only reason you can enter his life. So, you better think ten times before you do anything to make her unhappy. Try to understand your own daughter before you try to understand others’ feelings and love.”
“Your pride, your strength, your background doesn’t even count up to 1% of her smile.”
Charlotte turned around and walked away. She looked at the door and silently thought.
‘Ely, I have done everything I can. I hope she will realize what’s best for her. In this life, I won’t let you go through loneliness with my daughter. We are family and we will live together.’
Creek!
She opened the door and entered the mansion. Brian was still standing outside. He was totally surprised by what Charlotte just did. His brain could barely comprehend all the things she said.
But, he did understand one thing. He turned around and said “You are Ely’s mother. Just like Charlotte, I don’t give a crap about destiny or prophecies. But, since you are Ely’s mother, I will give you a chance.”
“Let’s start this from today. Charlotte made Ely slowly love her in less than two weeks. Let’s see how long will it take you to figure out what she did.”
Saying so, he walked away.
Lucy stayed outside. She clenched her fists and tears kept flowing down her cheeks. If anyone saw her crying like this, they would’ve been stunned.
Blood Queen! The strongest person on earth is crying like a little girl. At this moment, Charlotte’s words got repeated in her mind.
“Your pride, your strength, your background doesn’t even count up to 1% of her smile.”
‘Sob! Sob! So, all that hard work, all that training to become the strongest doesn’t even mean anything to you. So, why? Why did I work hard?’
At this moment, dozens of different voices rang in her mind.
“Princess, stop it! You are doing it wrong. You are helping a werewolf. If the Emperor finds out, you would be executed.”
“Princess, you are amazing. Even the Great Prophet is supporting you.”
“Lucy Bathory, alongside everyone related to you shall be exiled from Night Blood Planet. You are tasked to find a newly awakened planet and conquer it. If you can’t even do that, you will be executed.”
“Sigh! Even the Great Prophet couldn’t help her. Well, she wasn’t the daughter of the emperor but rather chosen to be a princess because of her talent. But, what mistake did she make?”
“I heard that she killed Commander Iris who had been torturing thousands of werewolves and selling their blood.”
“So, she tried to do something good but unfortunately, she forgot werewolves are our enemies.”
Twenty Years Ago, Lucy Bathory, the princess of Vampire Race was banished for saving the werewolves from torture.
Her identity and birth seals were destroyed. She was no longer the resident of Night Blood Planet. After losing everything, she came to earth in order to conquer it.
?(O)??? While she was strong, it wasn’t that easy. One day, she encountered a boy while slaughtering humans and werewolves. She saw nearly hundreds of human girls getting assaulted by the vampires.
She was a bit angry but remembered her fate after she had done something good, she didn’t stop them. Then, she saw a boy who had no superpowers, no strength, but the courage to save his people.
It was a miracle or a plan, he used several tricks and finally saved those human girls. His tricks barely succeed but what surprised her was while doing all that good deed, he never once mentioned his name or showed his face.
He was wearing the mask of the dragon and called himself ‘Dragon Prince’. She got curious about him and followed him.
She was stunned by his intelligence. It’s not that he was making anything that can obliterate vampires. Rather, he was planning things and each plan had a contingency plan in case the original plan fails.
At the age of 10, in less than a few weeks, he saved thousands of humans, never once revealing his identity to the public.
He was a hero, a superhero.
Dragon Prince!
But, one day, his plan failed and even the contingency plan didn’t work. There was a saying ‘In front of true strength, all plans and poisons are futile’. This was that same condition.
When he was almost in death’s situation, she saved him. Her hands once again got dyed with the blood of her own race. She didn’t understand why she saved him but after following him for so long, she couldn’t standstill seeing him in danger.
She was only forty years old. For vampires, it was almost like she was a child. Of course, even as a child, she was highly intelligent. Just like how she taught Ely, she was also taught everything when she was only five years old.
Over thirty-five years, she has learned a lot of things but one thing has always been missing from her life.
Love!
She never once learned what love was. She knew she loved her parents but she never had affection for the opposite gender.
Although she was intelligent, she wasn’t good with love. But, after lurking around him for a week, she learned that her heart always forces her to look at him.
Every day she wakes up in her mansion, the first thing she sees is his face. After having breakfast, every day she follows him around. For weeks, she hadn’t killed a single human or werewolf.
All she did was follow a boy and watch him save humans. But it was the first time after week, that her hands got dyed with blood. And, it wasn’t the blood of other races. It was her own race.
But for some reason, she didn’t feel remorse nor did she feel guilty. She only felt relieved that he wasn’t died or been injured. She didn’t understand what was happening to her and decided to ask the Great Prophet.
And, at that moment, the Great Prophet revealed something she never thought she would be.
“Princess, you must become the mother of his first child. He is the only remaining person of his race. I can feel his destiny. It’s overwhelming. When he turns eighteen, you must do everything you can to bear his child.”
When she heard that, she rejected it at first. But slowly, as the time passed, her urge to bear his child, to become his bride became stronger.
But, she still couldn’t meet him. After learning more about love, romance, and relationships, she learned that there is a girl in his life who was an obstacle for her.
So, she killed her. She asked her maid to transform into that human and slowly break up with him. She did everything she could to make him unhappy. It felt like drinking poison. It was really hard.
But, she didn’t even think twice. She knew if she does, she wouldn’t get another chance. So, when he turned eighteen and finished high school, he received a cold-hearted breakup.
After that, she joined him in a bar, then in a bed, and finally another got impregnated by him. But, just when she thought she could ask him to marry her, she got bad news.
The Great Prophet saw a new prophecy where if she ever comes close to him except during a full moon, she will bring a tragedy in his life. And, tragedy did strike.
He lost his parents and she became his greatest enemy.
Even though it was one-sided, she became enemies from lovers from enemies!
