The Vampire's Wife
68

Lucas was laid on two soldiers after Stephen had finished wearing one of his great robes. This should be a happy moment even though Lucas is far from happy.

His body was so thin with a pale face and whitened lips. If it wasn't for the robe, perhaps the people would have felt sorry to see Lucas's current state.

I didn't expect this day to actually happen. Inner Lucas cried. He wanted to fight but the circumstances cornered him.

Lucas was seated on a sturdy chair right next to Stephen's throne.

Elena was stunned to see that the robe Lucas was wearing could cover the shackles on his neck perfectly.

As planned. Marriage in the title on the royal page so that it can be seen directly by all the people.

"The guests are coming soon. I hope you can put on a little smile so they don't see you bad." Lucas did not flinch and simply looked ahead with a blank look." You hear what Lucas' father said?" Stephen asked for answers.

"There are so many rules. I have fulfilled your wish. Isn't that enough until you tell me to pretend to be happy? I told you already! Don't call yourself Dad. I'm not your son. I'm doing this just so you don't touch him. Take that Stephen!" Elena glanced lazily at the debate that had been going on since yesterday.

"No creature can break the relationship between father and son."

"Yes. You're the only thing that's a creature." Stephen was at a loss for words until a snort of annoyance sounded." I married that woman's daughter. But forever I won't touch her let alone love her." Patresia, who had arrived at the time, did not feel offended by Lucas' words.

To be honest, he was hesitant to do the wedding because it felt like he was starting to like Pedro.

"I'd like to have a four-eye talk with you, Lucas." Patresia was standing next to the chair Lucas was sitting in.

"We'd better go first, Sire. Let them talk so that the wedding will go well." Quickly Stephen stood up and left with an annoyed face." Knock him out." Elena patted Patresia gently on the shoulder then followed Stephen's steps.

"Because of your idea. I'm stuck like this." Patresia softly sighed in regret.

"sorry. I didn't mean that. I don't know if it ends like this."

"No. Your idea is one of these plans."

"I'm looking for Pedro so this marriage doesn't happen. But I didn't find any trace of him." Patresia had been sneaking out all day and trying to find Pedro.

"Everything's done." Patresia read the despair from the look on Lucas's face.

"I think you're strong Lucas. I thought you would keep fighting even if it was just a hope. That shackle has indeed absorbed your strength but what shackles can also erode your love for him."

"I'm doing this because I don't want them to touch it."

"My mom won't stop. Not only is the woman's life threatened but all the humans in the world."

"What can I do. You know what I'm like." Patresia looked over with a smile.

"Hope and pray. I hope Pedro shows up soon so this marriage doesn't happen. Your hopes?" The uninspired Lucas was speechless at the nonsense Patresia was throwing.

"I just want him to be okay." Patresia nodded.

"Will he be good without you?" Lucas swallowed his saliva roughly. He only realized the nature of dependence that Noa often showed first. Moreover, Noa's life in the past that was so bad made him re-imagine how Noa lived without him.

"No." Answer weakly.

"Is this not a wrong decision? It won't make any difference if you choose this path. He'll still suffer without you especially if he loves you so much." Lucas put on a tense face with his pale face.

"Can we just hope?"

"Our Lord is the same. I'm sure Pedro has become my match so something will happen tonight. You should also hope this marriage can come to a halt." Lucas followed Patresia's words because there was nothing to do but earnestly hope.

This is the first time I have prayed. I'm begging.. Don't tarnish our marriage Lord. I don't want to lose him. I believe your power overcomes everything. Helpme.. Please help me..

Prayers are offered with all my heart, making the weather that day suddenly cloudy accompanied by a drizzle that began to fall.

Mr. Imran as the one who married Lucas and Noa. Listen to the cry of Lucas' heart that needs help.

He looked at the sky of a dark day despite the day stepping on at half-five. Imran went back to the mosque and sat down. His hand reached into the prayer beads in his pocket and began to recite while offering prayers.

Luck for Lucas because it turns out Mr. Imran is not an ordinary human being. He has the advantages of diabolism so now Mr. Imran helped him in prayer.

That creature needs help, O God. Servant knows she is not human but at least she is already your people. Servant feels the goodness of her heart. His seriousness in legalizing one of Eve's children. Show me your power, O God. Protect their marriage because servants are not willing if they are separated..

While Imran was praying. Noa had just woken up with a gasp of breath. He hurried to sit up and was stunned when he saw his own figure on the mirror reflection.

His face became more firm. Her beauty is growing, but her face symbolizes a brave woman.

I'm like everybody else. Noa moved from her place now. Stare fixedly at the glass and pay attention to the details of his face. It's really incredible. How he did it. Both of her hands touched the dress she was wearing. The dress is also great..

It's free. There is no point in making this. I was still afraid to go to that place..

Geck.. Geck.. Geck..

Noa looked over and walked towards the door. Alex stood behind the door and was stunned to see the woman standing before him.

Real pretty...

Alex stayed for a moment to control his interest. He had truly fallen in love with the woman who was his own nephew's wife.

"There's no need to fear Noa. I'll help you." Alex answered about his heart.

"I'm not that brave as Uncle."

"I'll protect you and take you away if anything happens there."

"No Uncle." Noa smiled bitterly." It would be better if Uncle just let me perish there. I have resigned my Uncle. I just want to know if Mr. Lucas did the wedding with his heart or not." Alex took a long breath. He singled out the desperate attitude that Noa showed now.

"Rather than wasting your life. Just live with me. Life is precious Noa. Don't waste it like now. For the sake of the fetus in your stomach." Noa looked up quickly, looking at Alex questioningly.

"Fetus?" Tanya Noa stamped.

"Hm fetus. If we don't succeed later. I'll be happy to take care of the boy." Noa lowered her head, her hands clinging to her stomach that began to bulge even though she was not aware of it.

"I'm pregnant? Why I don't know. How could Uncle possibly know?"

"The artist was a famous necromancer in our nation. He was talking about it."

"Is Uncle sure? Because I don't feel anything." Noa said she was not sure.

"The necromancer never guesses wrong."

"This is just Uncle's guess. If I am pregnant. Aren't I okay now. Mr. Lucas told me about it before."

"Hm that's right. You will not be able to wake up if you do not receive blood from your husband. The fetus will absorb your blood every day."

"I'm just an ordinary human Uncle. I don't feel anything and that means I'm not pregnant right now." Alex was worried even though he believed the fairy's words but what Noa said was also true.

Noa walked past Alex just like that then sat down on the sofa located not far from there.

"We're leaving after this." Alex deliberately changed the subject because the face was not okay that Noa was showing now.

"No need to prepare." Alex sat down weakly beside him.

"I promise to take care of you. Stay alive, at least until the truth about your pregnancy is clear." Noa did not flinch looking straight ahead." If you don't want to take care of her, let me take care of her." Imblu explained.

"I may not want to take care of my own flesh and blood. I just feel unsure because I don't feel anything."

"Please wait another month. If there is no change in your body, I will let you go. But if you're really pregnant. Don't be stupid. I want a child so badly so don't waste it. I'll take care of you and take care of him as an Uncle not someone who likes you." Noa turned her head and read Alex's serious face.

"Hm Uncle. Thanks though. I'll do Uncle's request as a thank you for what Uncle did for me." Alex smiled with a smile. That makes him so happy. He craved a child and did not care about the status of Noa who still bears the status of the wife of Lucas.

"Thank you. Wear this." Alex thrusts a necklace of grains at Noa." It's disguising your scent." Noa reached out her hand and took the necklace slowly." It only lasts a while. If the color has turned white. You have to change it." Alex gave me some similar necklaces.

"Thank you Uncle."

"This should be my job. Lucas is my nephew so I have to protect him." Alex put the necklace in a small pouch and tied it to Noa's dress." I put it here so you can take it easy." Noa nodded slowly and started wearing Alex's necklace.

"What's like this?" Ask Noa lirih.

"Hm the necklace will react when we are already in the royal area. The time there is a little different. One day in your world, equivalent to two days there. That's why you have to have more stamina to last longer."

"Do I have to buy vitamins?" Alex smiled knot.

"That's not gonna be any use to Noa." I want to prove the truth about the power that is in Noa's body. I feel like she's a special woman if pregnancy is true..

"Then how's Uncle?"

"With that necklace only. I'm making enough for the next hour." Noa nodded as she stared at the window. It was obvious that it was getting dark and that meant he had to mentally prepare immediately.
