The Vampire's Wife
69

Although drizzle down, did not discourage the invited guests to come to Lucas' wedding. They want to witness the sacred event again.

Elena quickly spread the news about Pedro's departure so that the invited guests would no longer talk about Patresia's second marriage.

Even so, there are some nobles who question the peculiarity. They even accused Stephen of playing with the sanctity of marriage even though they were only able to speak in the back.

They thought it was too insignificant, given Lucas' hard-nosed heart for women. Previously they had hoped, if one day Lucas could like the girls in their family. But that hope was dashed when they realized that Lucas' principles were hard to shake.

Lucas himself was sitting weakly facing each other with Patresia. The time of marriage is getting closer to dispelling the hopes of both.

"Nothing's happening right." Lucas said weakly.

"The sky is crying, watching our marriage. That's a bad sign, Lucas. You must remain sure." Even though I'm not sure myself. You where Pedro is. Did Mama destroy you?

"I feel you're desperate too." Patresia bowed lethargic. He justified Lucas's guess because now he also felt unsure of his own expectations.

"Come on Lucas." Stephen walked with Elena. The two sat on the throne to prepare to give a speech and some announcements before the wedding ritual was carried out.

Lucas' facial complexion is getting worse, as well as Patresia who began to put on a facial expression of anxiety. Soon both will be martyred as Husbands and Wives while God has not shown any signs of help.

Stephen was talking about the transfer of power. Not at all heard by Lucas whose mind is on Noa.

Several times Stephen asked Lucas questions about his readiness to be king. But Lucas did not respond and did not even hear the call Stephen made.

"Please. Your Majesty called you." Patresia said after patting her shoulders gently. Lucas stared weakly at Stephen.

"Are you ready to be king when you get married? I think this is a good time." Stephen asked in the hope that Lucas could answer him as he wished.

"I'm not ready. Leave that power to your pride's empress." Stephen smiled strangely as it turned out that Lucas was humiliating him again.

"Didn't you talk about this." Lucas turned away with a flat face.

"You should add this to the threat you posed to me yesterday."

Ggggggrrrrrrrrrr...

The invited guests began to whisper with the debate unfolding before him. Elena stood up and approached Lucas to sulk.

"Be a good boy just one day Lucas." Pinta Elena slow down.

"You know what the answer is. Don't talk too much. I don't want power. Marry us and everything will be done." Elena snorted as she returned to her original place. He whispered something to make Stephen again make his word.

"Wedding will begin." Patresia looked at Lucas who was weakly bowed. This marriage used to be his greatest wish, but now he realizes that seeing the pain of our loved ones is worse than anything else.

Someone came with a tray and two special glasses made of silver. The tray was placed on a table in front of Lucas and Patresia.

"Please fill the glass with your own blood." Pinta Stefanus was greeted by guests.

Noa and Alex are seen just arriving at the royal border. The two are confronted with a terrible creature that Noa had met first when she first met Lucas.

"Alexanderlust.. You can't come in." He said growling. Occasionally his nose twitched the scent of Noa's body which sometimes still faintly smelled.

"I brought this." Alex handed the invitation to the two guards.

"Where did you get this invitation." They still obey the initial rules that say if Alex should not be in the area of the government.

"I was invited by Elena. Empress Stephen." The two looked at each other and felt the invitation. They are ensuring the authenticity of the invitation so as not to take the wrong step.

"Hm please come in." After making sure the invitation is genuine, both are allowed to enter.

Alex again grabs Noa's wrist and accompanies her through the red light that surrounds the kingdom.

Noa was stunned enough to see the situation in that place that she forgot about her fear at height. The cold felt piercing with a large towering tree. He moved his eyes around. There are many creatures of the same kind at every angle.

"Is it not there yet?" Tanya Noa clung tightly to Alex's arm that was moving quickly. Noa was still unaware of the oddity that had happened to her who should have experienced severe nausea due to Alex's movements.

"Here is the city." Alex perched on a tree. He deliberately stopped to show Noa the circumstances that were happening in his kingdom.

"Like a house in general." Noa muttered quite amazed to see a city in the middle of the forbidden forest.

"What is his kingdom." Show Noa in one direction.

"We'd better hurry." Noa nodded doubtfully although she would no longer be able to step back.

In an instant, the two had moved on to a large tree that was right in front of the wedding ritual.

Alex let out a long sigh, seeing the bad state of Lucas as well as Noa who of course also felt pain so unconsciously the tears escaped.

"What did they do until they made my Master that way." Noa mumbled.

"That's a special shackle that a king has. Lucas would not be able to fight back as the shackles could dissipate his strength as well as erode his endurance."

"Isn't he his real son. Why so much." Alex sighs at remembering how cruel Stephen was to him first.

"His heart was broken by your people."

"He shouldn't have done that."

"His selfishness blinded the eyes of his heart. Ready to get down? You'll be in the spotlight after this." Noa took a long breath. Staring fixedly at Lucas who was sitting and preparing to slash his wrist.

As planned, Alex will create a bit of a riot with his presence bringing the Shah's wife from Lucas. He wanted to dismantle the decay of Stephen who had been covered up.

The big risk Alex was ready to take because Stephen could have ordered his soldiers to attack. But in order to make amends, Alex swallows his fears with a little confidence.

"I'm the most notorious criminal here." Canda Alex hopes Noa can smile even if only a little.

"I'm ready Uncle."

"Change your necklace first." Noa held the end of the necklace that was starting to whiten. He took one new necklace and put it back on.

"Exchange your glasses and drink each other's blood until there's nothing left." Pinta Stephen coincides with the descent of Alex and Noa who stand not far from the altar of the wedding ritual.

Noa's disguised smell makes Lucas almost drink Patresia's blood if not for Alex's screams.

"The ritual is too fast. I just came." The words immediately made all the beads go to Alex and Noa.

"Baa.. Baby." it.." Lucas muttered, looking at me towards the face he had long missed. The silver glass in his hand immediately fell down.

Cluntang...

Patresia looked at Noa from top to bottom and admitted that the woman who was Lucas' wife looked so beautiful with makeup and dresses that fit in her nation.

Good taste, Lucas. She looks more beautiful than her picture..

"How could he possibly attend!!" Stephen asked in a whisper with a furious face. Elena snorted and stared intently at Alex.

"I just want that woman to watch Lucas' wedding."

"But they make trouble." Stephen, who had just seen Noa for the first time, felt an unusual attraction. But his selfishness made him not care about it.

"I'll talk to Alex." Elena moved to negotiate with Alex." Why did you come down. Didn't I tell you to look from afar?" Pinta Elena whispered.

"As other human marriages. Shouldn't Mr. Lucas divorce his wife first." Alex replied loudly while Noa's bead gaze could not be separated from Lucas nor vice versa. Since then Lucas did not turn his eyes towards Noa who looked so beautiful with a black dress on.

"What does that mean." Ask one of the nobles sitting there.

"Shut your mouth Alex!!"

"I'm just straightening things out. Not so Stephen."

"We need an explanation of the king! What does Alexander mean? Why did he say that." Stephen widened his eyes looking in annoyance at Alex. He still hates that face until now especially now Alex makes a troublemaker at the wedding that should be going well.

"He's My Wife. He's a man." Lucas with the rest of his energy. All the guests were shocked to hear the statement. Now their bead is focused on Noa who still does not blink looking at Lucas.
