* Pow PoV Felicia *
Me and Rekta came home late from twelve in the evening. The atmosphere tonight was quite gripping, plus we had to pass through a forest full of ferocious mythological creatures. You won't find any dragon or godzila on earth.
"Is the princess sleepy?"
I'm shaking. "No. I wouldn't be able to sleep if we hadn't reached the palace."
Rekta nodded, glancing back outside through the window. It is not certain that the incident of the attack some time ago will not be repeated. Rekta still can not be careless.
"You're off guard, Rekta."
Rekta and I were shocked. Rekta even reflexively drew a sword to his neck. Realizing that it was Edgar, Rekta lowered his sword back. His face suddenly turned pale.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty."
"No problem" he replied. Now he looked at me and patted the empty seat next to him. "Sit here."
I nodded, immediately moved my position and sat down next to him.
"Reserve me. You're sleepy, aren't you?"
I nodded, smiling broadly as I leaned my body against him. He immediately developed one of his wings, holding me with that wing. It feels warm, like wearing a blanket.
I closed my eyes. I don't know what kind of magic he was wearing. The vibration created by the wheels of the carriage passing through the gravel road was no longer felt. Finally I fell asleep quietly without knowing again Edgar had just decapitated a dangerous creature that almost kidnapped me.

Not wanting to disturb his daughter's sleep, Edgar chose to hold Felice and put her to bed. Not without reason. Her little daughter was almost attacked by a group of vampire demons who lived across the forest on the way home earlier. Luckily Edgar runs into a black unicorn train that takes him and stops the vampire demons.
Physically a demon and a vampire demon don't have so much difference. They both have blood-red irises and pale white skin. The difference is, demons have wings shaped like bat wings, while vampire demons do not have wings, but can turn into bats. They also ate blood, unlike demons who ate ordinary food.
There's one more difference that's why the vampire demon is after Felicia. Only 30% of the noble demons could withstand the power of the demon blood with golden colored irises. Devil vampires? 100% of them can hold it. Nothing would explode like a balloon as it was unable to withstand the overwhelming power they had gained from the blood of the golden-eyed demon.
"You're so special. Don't let yourself get tired."
He immediately stepped into the secret room. Only the five commanders and his right-hand man knew the location of the room. The door of his room was always changing places, making it difficult to find.
"Sorry to keep you waiting" Edgar said as he entered the room.
The room was not much different from the room behind Edgar's armoire. There was only a round table surrounded by eight chairs, as well as a shelf full of old books inside.
The five commanders (read : Rekta, Shinji, Arcy, Brandon, Sacha) as well as Amber and Mahessa simultaneously stood up, saluting as Edgar entered the room. They sat down as Edgar let him sit down.
"First," Edgar turned to Rekta who was sitting next to him, then gave a hard slap on Rekta's left cheek.
Amber covered her mouth with both hands, shocked by what Edgar had done to Rekta. The other five men who were there had a flat expression, as if they were used to seeing it.
"You don't realize you've been followed since you entered the forest? What the hell are you doing? You didn't even notice when I sneaked into the train!"
Rekta touched his hot left cheek. Blood flowed out from the corner of his lips. Honestly this slap doesn't hurt so much for him. He had felt a punishment far more painful than this. The shame is much greater.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I'm really sorry."
"You think an apology is enough for your reckless deeds?"
Rekta fell silent, lowered his head.
"I don't want this to happen again. You have to increase your sensitivity."
"Understand, Your Majesty."
Now Edgar averted his eyes, staring one by one at his confidants. "We're going to be dealing with an old friend right now."
Sacha frowned. "Old friend?"
"Vampire demons are starting to dare to go after Felicia, and I'm not going to stay quiet."
Now they're all in shock, especially Amber. He had a bad experience with the long-fanged demon. He understood a little why Edgar had told him to attend this meeting.
