Chapter 169: Regret (1)
Cassandra took a sigh of relief for having a moment to herself. She sent all the cooks out of the kitchen so she could prepare blood for Gabriel.
She was lucky to have him visiting the palace and awaited the moment the queen would send an invitation for her but the wait was long.
Cassandra wanted to be in the palace now but Gabriel wasn’t of any importance to have visitors to the palace. Especially a human. She thought of carrying lunch for him but she would be seen as the lunch.
Cassandra poured the blood they bought from a woman in desperate need of money. Cassandra couldn’t go on letting Gabriel sink his teeth into her skin to drink each time he needed blood. She was going to faint if not for buying blood.
Cassandra poured the fresh blood into a glass, filling it only halfway. She set the bottle with blood to the side. ’What a fool,’ she thought.
Gabriel listened to her about her jealousy regarding him biting other women. Cassandra said it was too sensual so Gabriel would receive his blood from a glass.
Cassandra smiled, pulling out a small bottle which was far more expensive than anything Gabriel could ever offer her. She only had a little so she needed to use it well.
She allowed for two drops to fall into the glass of blood then quickly covered the small bottle and placed it out of sight. Cassandra could not wait for the church to start their bigger plans to rid the kingdom of purebloods. She would act on her own.
’I already have the king’s attention,’ Cassandra thought.
