The chills were so strong that Catherine had to whisper in her husband's ear,
"Lucas please. For my sake" she added with a soft voice and just like that, Lucas stopped glaring at King Henry and the scarty chilling moment also ended.
It was as if the words his wife spoke worked like magic on him it was as if he was suddenly compelled by his wife.
Once the atmosphere returned back to normal,
Lady Clara was about to talk when one of the servants came to announce the arrival of the prophetess.
With that, every one sat up and became slightly worried tensed. Most especially Catherine. She was so worried and scared that her heart was racing so loudly in her ear that Lucas had to turn to look at her.
"Cathy, be calm. Nothing will happen. I will protect you". He said in a gentle tone. Catherine nodded her head even though she couldn't see his face but she believed him.
She also knew the vampires heard her loud heartbeats and that made her slightly embarrassed.
"Get the prophetess in". King Henry ordered the servant. The servant bowed and left and a few moments later,
The prophetess slowly walked in with a domineering presence and an imposing manner.
She walked so gracefully into the main hall and stood in front of the king.
"Long live your royal majesty". She greeted with a slight bow. She didn't bow too deeply to the king as it was an order from the king.
The King waved his hand dismissively and the prophetess eyes scanned the room to take in the people and the moment her gaze fell on Catherine. Her heart stopped beating at that moment.
Catherine who had been holding her breath because the prophetess had not look at her felt her heart also stopped and constricted the moment she felt the prophetess gaze on her.
The prophetess kept staring at Catherine without breathing. It was as if she was under a deep spell.
King Henry also knew that look and couldn't help but wonder what the vampire prophetess had seen about his daughter in law. Even Catherine's family doesn't know. They are just mere humans who only knew about swords and war. Even Queen Tira also knew that look and couldn't help but worry, but she still kept a livid face.
Lucas also noticed the stare but his eyes were now focused on the vampire prophetess as he had remembered that this prophetess had seen a vision about him being a born daylight monster not a vampire. At first his family hadn't believe and thought she was only bluffing until the day he had his first brutal instinct kill. That day, he was in the woods looking for deers to hunt until he heard footsteps coming closer to him and before he knew it, he had slit the man's throat with his sword and then used his bare hands to tear the man's face into two as blood splatter every where and also on him.
When he had reached home in rage, the king and his family turned their backs on him calling him a monster. How they find out about his first bare hand kill was still a mystery to him. Not only that, when they were attending the royal banquet I. Another kingdom,
Vampires were drinking blood, but he was busy tearing skins off people's bodies. His dark aura had cloaked the room and party was cut off as people ran for thekr dear lives to avoid being devoured by the monstrous prince. Since then, he had been alone. Fought alone, he had gone from kingdoms to kingdoms to conquer alone to get his own powerful allies who would fight with him till the end.
Every battle he did with his soldiers, he had never failed nor had his soldiers died. Some feared him while some didn't whivh were his five most trusted men most especially Mason. And now seeing the way the prophetess was looking at his wife made him want to take her away from her strong gaze too but he knew he couldn't do that. That was wrong and absurd. He could only endure through gritted teeth in his mask.
The prophetess who was still staring at Catherine felt as if a lightening bolt struck her. What was she seeing? What the hell did she see? Oh no, who did the royal family picked up as a bride? This is bad and dangerous.
The vision she was seeing at that moment felt so real and scary that she herself felt a piercing goosebumps on her skin and she knew she couldn't say such a vision. So she could do only one thing and that is to tell only her husband. She will have no choice but to tweet the vision.
With that, she closed her eyes to summon courage from the heavens before opening her eyes. Her grey waist length hair blew gently behind her and grey eyes had a perfect calmness no ordinary person could explain. So she sat on the floor and spoke,
"I see nothing unusual about her. So she can't do the ritual. She is free from any supernaturality". She explained and the vampire family who had been extremely worried about the prophetess gaze on her finally breath out a sigh of relief. But Lucas didn't believe her.
"Thank you prophetess. So she will do the normal ritual for normal humans. Producing of heir for the family." He said calmly.
"When will the royal crown princess be back?" Clara asked with a small smile. She had missed Lady Ariana for so many months and she couldn't wait for her to come back.
King Henry stared at his foolish daughter while Levi tried not to be irritated by his foolish sister words.
"Soon ". He said calmly making Catherine furrow her brows in confusion. Who is the crown princess and why isn't she here or hadn't been here since she moved to being the new daughter in laws of the royal family.
Clara just nodded. And with that every where was silent once again as no one has nothing to say. If king Henry don't talk, no one dares to talk.
