The Vampire's Wife
49

Bastian was sitting in a very dark room. The look of his face was frightened with sweaty hair filling around his face.

Several times he wiped away his sweat, but still came out again and again because he realized that his life was on the verge of breaking.

I just found out that Mr. Lucas is a Vampire. That was the reason he was so closed to his personality..

Bastian tightness breathing. He looked out, but only a dark color was seen.

Click!

Lights on. Alex stood next to the corner of the room and as fast as lightning had already moved to stand in front of Bastian.

"It's so scared." Alex smiled faintly. How not to be afraid if Alex forces Bastian into an alliance with him. If Bastian refuses, Alex threatens to kill him.

"Isn't the house I told you about. Please release me." Bastian bowed with a face of fear. Didn't want to look at Alex who had shown him his true form.

"I still need your help."

"A what else Sir. I'm not someone close to Mr. Lucas. I'll go there if there's any work problem." Bastian tries to sulk so Alex wants to free him.

"Hm I know. But I still need you."

"For what sir."

"Woo Lucas' wife as long as she's gone." Bastian held his head up. He ventured back to Alex's manic gaze.

"Ma means what?"

"Make him fall in your arms to get Lucas to leave him." After Lucas left. I'll kill you and I can have Noa.

"No Sir. I don't want to."

!!!!

Ahaaaakk!!!!

Bastian's body hit the wall. Alex walked up to him and gripped his neck tightly with his true form.

"Your choice is only two." His long tongue stuck out and started licking around Bastian's face." I suck your blood or you fulfill my wish." Bastian. Although his body looks big but his strength is not comparable to Alex.

"Ba ba good sir." Bastian must agree to Alex's wish so that he can breathe again." Uhuk.. Uhuk..." Alex smiled at Bastian whose eyes began to turn red as a result of his giggling.

"You're so obedient to Lucas." Ask Alex lirih.

"I'm just trying to return the favor, sir. Without him, I might still be poor." Alex nodded while sitting on the sofa.

"Oh so you're working with him."

"In business matters."

"That's further complicating my business." Alex pulled the drawer next to him and took a ring." Wear this." The tape put the ring on the table.

Bastian walked over, with his hand checking his neck.

"What is this, sir."

"Just wear. I'll explain." Slowly, Bastian took the ring and put it on, although doubts were certainly stirred in his mind.

Alex smiled as he glanced at the perfectly worn ring on Bastian's middle finger.

"From tonight you're my prisoner." Bastian's eyes widened in shock.

"Captive?"

"You must obey whatever I command until my wish is fulfilled." Bastian swallowed his rough saliva with a downcast face. He had no power to curse in the heart knowing that Alex could read someone's voice." Agreed?" Ask Alex to make sure.

"Hm good sir."

"Tonight I'll take you home. Once Lucas's gone, I'll pick you up and we'll start doing the plan." Bastian nodded in agreement even though it felt really hard considering Lucas was someone who contributed to his life.

After making sure Noa slept. Lucas went to the kingdom. He even added another protective fortress because of his concern for Noa if her departure was now aimed at trapping her.

Pretty soon, Lucas has entered the kingdom. He walked slowly towards the hall.

Apparently, his arrival was waiting for Stephen so Lucas did not have to go up to the second floor to his father's room.

There were several government ministers and some ordinary people present. They will be made witnesses to the covenant that Stephen will tie to Lucas.

"We've been waiting." Said Stefanus staring at the child's only wayangnya who looks more dashing.

"It felt so bad that it had to present a witness." Lucas sat right next to Stephen.

"The people need an explanation, too, Lucas. So there must be a witness in this conversation." Elena is also present.

"We're starting." Stephen took a deep breath before starting the conversation.

"Is it because of that that that your Majesty enforces the rules?" Ask one of the witnesses.

Lucas did not speak up, while Stephen did not answer questions he considered selfish.

Just because of Lucas' fear of heartache. He had to enact regulations aimed at keeping Lucas from falling into the same hole.

"Hm.. Ja. I don't want my people to be fooled by the love of all humans." Stephen replied softly. It indicates that he is lying." I want us to live side by side without hate." Imbuhali.

"Where can be so, Sire. Humans are indeed very weak but have a vile way of hurting." Elena.

"Like you." Everyone stared at Lucas." What is this talk. If I'm invited to talk about unimportant things. I'd better go." Lucas would stand up but Stephen's voice prevented him.

"wait. Sit down first."

"I'm here because I want to get a meeting point for my relationship."

"Baginda is so unfair. When your son is in violation. Why is it so hard like this." Stephen motioned to the royal army to carry the bodies of five of his people whom Lucas had already taken out.

All the witnesses looked. Swallowing his saliva rough while staring at the corpse which was almost like dry skin with its bones.

"A what does this mean?"

"I don't want my soldiers to run out of it." Pointing towards Lucas." I don't understand when he's that strong but I don't want to risk my people's lives just to hunt him down." Lucas snorted and shifted his eyes. He was very impatient to hear the offer that Stephen was going to give.

"Aren't you the crown prince who's supposed to protect them." Another witness protest.

"I'm no longer his son! Say the offer or I'll go!!!" Threaten Lucas furious.

"Show me that woman's loyalty so I can undo the rules." Witnesses were made to look at Stephen's words.

"He is faithful."

"You're just lulled in Lucas' love. Humans have always been like that. Pretending to be weak but able to cut your heart later."

"Not all humans are like that. Didn't I ever say that." Elena gestured the witnesses to silence Lucas and Stephen to reach a consensus.

"Dad wants to protect you and our nation."

"No. Dad was too selfish. Enforce the rules only because of the heartache you feel for my mother." Lucas' words became a hard slap on Stephen's heart. He confirmed it even though he did not want to admit it.

"Do it or forever my blessing won't give."

"He's loyal. I'm sure it is."

"Show me."

"How do I show you."

"Leave him for a few weeks so you know what the change will be like." Lucas looked at Stephen quickly.

"I can't. I don't even want to leave him for a second."

"You should be able to. So that you can have the blessing." Elena seemed to be mediating.

"After you do it and he doesn't turn away. I'm going to repeal the rules and justify if not all humans are cheats." Lucas bowed. It was a very difficult decision to take considering Noa who was starting to feel comfortable with him." You're forbidden to tell him about this trap. If you do that, I'll ask the nation's help from another country to hunt that woman down." Lucas still did not answer and just sat quietly while sighing softly.

"It's only temporary Lucas. If loyalty can be proven. You will be able to unite without a hitch." Lucas stood up suddenly.

"I'll think about it first."

"Tomorrow night should all be done. I'll give you until tomorrow night."

"It's so short."

"That's a good offer. If you think he's loyal isn't this request incriminating to you?"

"okay good. I'll be here tomorrow night." Lucas put on a flat face then left in the middle of a meeting that was deliberately designed to strengthen the play.

Elena deliberately had some of her people present, so that Lucas would not feel suspicious if actually what Stephen asked for was now just a series of scenarios.

"You can go. I'll give you the pay." The witnesses immediately went missing from the hall.

"I'm afraid Lucas knows." Eluh Stephen crested.

"He won't suspect anything."

"What if the woman is faithful? What reason should I give my people?"

Supposedly. The absurd offer was made to fool Lucas. The Vampires don't know about it. If they had known, they might have had Stephen removed from power by now.

"That's Alex's business. He's set everything up for that woman to betray Lucas later." Stephen was too worried about Lucas. Not realizing how rotten the heart of the woman sitting beside him was.

Elena herself, believing that everything would work out. That was because he had already slandered Ana in the same way.
