Chapter 102: A Vampire Hunter

Chapter 102: A Vampire Hunter

Magnus emerged from the washroom with his hands on his back. His eyes fell upon Alora, who was now seated on the bed with her back rested against the pillow.

"Magnus, I didn’t know it would have poison," Alora initiated speaking while fidgeting with her fingers. She still felt low in energy and closed her eyes for a few seconds.

"Lie down and get some rest," Magnus said in his cold voice.

"Where are you going?" Alora knew that her husband was upset with her foolishness. She again brought her hand to her neck, suppressing the sound of pain that could have escaped her mouth.

"I need some fresh air," Magnus said and left the room, closing the door from the outside.

Alora sighed as she was confirmed now that Magnus was angry with her. She lay on the mattress again and hit her forehead lightly. "How could I be so foolish to eat a wild berry?" she muttered.

Magnus descended the stairs while Izaak and Griffin glanced at him with quizzical glances. He didn’t speak with them, so Griffin had to stop him. "Where is Prince Magnus heading to?" he asked.

"Outside for some fresh air," Magnus answered.

"Don’t tell me you and Alora fought!" Izaak jokingly remarked. All this time, he had seen how they both would only stay in love and hardly they would quarrel.

Magnus didn’t reply to him for that. "Follow me to the five-hill forest. I felt the presence of a human on that hill," he informed Izaak.

"How is that possible? Humans cannot be in Shadowbrook," Izaak pronounced, asking his brother if he was confirmed.

"I did get a human’s blood scent. I’m sure there was someone. But the human isn’t an ordinary one. He or she has masked the blood scent. It was in my nostrils only for two seconds," Magnus explained, telling Izaak that he was sure about a human’s presence.

"And you stay here. Alora is resting. Don’t tell her anything. If you do, I’ll send you to the Capital," Magnus gave out clear instructions and left with Izaak.

As the two princes entered the carriage, Izaak asked Magnus what was in his mind.

"It’s not easy for a human to keep yourself hidden in a territory of vampires only. I think the human is smart and can be a..." Magnus’s words trailed off as he didn’t wish it to be true.

"A Vampire Hunter," Izaak completed the sentence for him.

"Yes," Magnus replied.

"We should have reported the deaths of the vampires if that was the case," Izaak stated.

"It’s just an assumption. I hope it isn’t true," Magnus asserted.

"Lillian, my dear brother is deeply in love with Alora. You should stop dreaming of having Magnus as your husband," Scarlett was informed by Lillian as they sat in the garden, under the open sky.

"I heard that the King almost threw Alora in the dungeon. Then, how did she get saved?" Scarlett asked.

"Do you think Magnus would have let Alora be locked? Moreover, my sister-in-law possesses some powers too. She is immune to any attack," Lillian said as she recalled that scene, where the two soldiers were thrown away as they tried holding Alora by her arms.

"What does Princess Lillian mean by that?" asked Scarlett.

"That you should stop dreaming of being Prince Magnus’s wife. Also, my two more brothers now support Alora," Lillian informed her.

"Even Prince Izaak?" Scarlett was stunned to learn that. "That’s impossible. Prince Izaak didn’t even support his own wives," she murmured in confusion.

"I was shocked too. About Brother Alaric I knew he would support Alora," Lillian asserted. "Alora isn’t as bad as we think of her. Brother Magnus is in love with her because unlike us she is selfless. My brother likes such people," she stated with a smile.

Scarlett felt that even the Princess started supporting Alora. She realized she needed to accept that Magnus could never be hers. "Then, I will stop making any effort. Prince Magnus never let me do anything for him. When I went to Elmswood, he never came to see me. I thought someday he would see me," Scarlett said in a low voice.

"Brother Magnus doesn’t care for your emotions or feelings. All he cares about is Alora. For her, he even moved to Velaris, or else, Elmswood had become his home," Lillian asserted.

Scarlett hummed and she left her seat. Bowing to Lillian, she told her about her departure. "Hmm." Lillian simply nodded at her.

A servant led Scarlett’s way out to the main gates, where a carriage awaited for her. She entered her coach and looked outside its window. She had decided not to come to the palace anymore since it would only make her feel low.

The carriage moved out of the palace gates when its one wheel suddenly broke, causing Scarlett to fall to one of the sides. She ended up hitting her head hard against the window. Several soldiers ran in the carriage’s direction. They opened the door and pulled out Scarlett from it.

"Are you alright, Miss Scarlett?" Alaric’s voice reached her ears and she lifted her head to look at him. Her hand instinctively moved to her temple, feeling her fingers being damped.

Alaric held her hand and saw the blood on her fingers. "Can Miss Scarlett walk?" Alaric asked.

"Yes, I think so," Scarlett said as she furrowed her brows together.

"Then, follow me inside," Alaric said, handing a scroll to his assistant.

Scarlett took a few steps when she tumbled, but Alaric caught her arm, thus saving her from falling. Although Scarlett was born into a pure-blooded family of vampires, she had a weaker strength than the others from childhood.

"You cannot walk. I’ll lift you in my arms if you allow," Alaric said.

Scarlett hummed when Alaric reached his hand to her back and carried her in a bridal style in his arms. He walked inside the gate while his assistant ran after them.
