Chapter 223: Not What They Agreed Upon
"Make way for the King Aleksander and Queen Elysianne! Make way, make way!"
Men and women heard the trumpets and then the palace knight announcing the royal couple’s arrival.
Elys and Aleksander rode into the capital and saw the concerned faces of the kingdom’s residents. As how it looked, the news of the attacks had made the vampires restless, a number wanting to get answers from the King and Queen who were riding off to the borders themselves.
"Your majesty, what is the meaning of this?" a vampire woman asked with terror in her eyes.
"How come the borders are being attacked?" another asked.
Thinking that it was absurd, several of the kingdom’s residents – especially that from the capital – thought that Aleksander was truly cursed.
An old looking vampire raised his fists up in the air and hounded the knights that first passed them by, "This shouldn’t have happened at all! You are all slacking up there in the palace!"
"Sir Wiriam should have sat on the throne instead, now we are all doomed!" someone added.
"The prophecies were real after all! Disasters and troubles came our way ever since you returned to the palace – gah!"
A knight kicked the vampire that had shouted his frustrations. He was thrown to the sides, hitting the wall with a loud crack. Gasps rose from the crowd and slowly the shouts turned into murmurs instead.
"Keep your filthy mouth shut if you don’t want to die!" the knight said at the disrespectful crowd. "The King and Queen deserves your utmost respect!"
