CHAPTER 2 Vampire Royal Court
1047 Words
The man stared at her. She could not answer the question. She totally understood that this man who just saved her was as dangerous as the old man. She tried to ignore him and ran in the other direction. However, the young man could still catch her easily.
“Why do you ignore me? Is it the way you are thankful to your saviour?” asked the vampire.
“Okay, thank you. Leave me alone” said Lisa.
“Because you have witnessed what I have done, you must die in peace,” stated the young man.
Lisa felt like she could not run away anymore from this weird creature. This young man could run faster than her. He was also stronger than the old man whom she could not fight. Lisa finally gave up and closed her eyes.
She could not think anything else at that moment. Nobody in this city cared about her, she thought.
The young man who had an intention of killing this eyewitness stared at Lisa’s face. He realized that this girl was innocent. Her innocent look hypnotized him for a moment. He exhaled his breath and disappeared from that place.
Lisa, who was ready to be killed, finally opened her eyes because nothing happened. After she opened her eyes, she could not find the guy who wanted to kill her. She looked around, but she could not find him.
She should have been happy because she was free from him. But, there was something wrong with her heart. She felt like she was left without any words. Somehow, it hurt for her too. She did not even know his name.

“I knew that you are really respected in this kingdom but, seeing the facts today, I felt like I could not be silent anymore. Humans have started to suspect the existence of a Vampire clan. This is all your fault!” Bosy Xandifield boomed in the assembly hall.
All members of the Xandifield family could only be silent listening to the anger of Bosy, one of the royal family members of the Vampire kingdom. She was the younger sister of the Vampire King, and also the aunt to Gerald.
Her shout at Gerald Xandifield made him only clench his fists without being able to speak. He has no justification for what Bosy has accused him of.
Three times he has been caught drinking blood on the CCTV cameras of residents. Two of them had not spread because vampire soldiers had destroyed the CCTV before it spread to the humans. However, his last action was recorded and has made him viral and people have started to question his mysterious identity.
"Now, humans will slowly realize the existence of our clan which is different from us, and then they will brutally hunt us. Later on, it is going to be a war between humans and vampires" said Alexandro, Bosy's husband.
"I won't let that happen!" said Gerald strongly.
“Then how can you be responsible for all of this?” asked Bosy.
Gerald was silent. He didn't even know what to say. How could he be responsible for all this?
"We have agreed not to drink human blood. Have you forgotten the contents of our agreement?” said Alexandro, who also had a relationship with Gerald.
Gerald was silent for a moment. His mind drifted to the moment when he drank the blood from a human's neck. The incident was caught on CCTV and made him have to be persecuted at this Vampire clan meeting.
"Rule of the Vampire Kingdom. Article 3, paragraph 5. We are allowed to drink human blood only if he makes a mistake." Gerald rebutted his own actions. He doesn't feel guilty for what he did. However, bad luck happened to him because he was caught on a CCTV camera.
"Hah? What did that man do wrong?” asked Alexandro.
“He almost r***d a woman. Isn't that a big mistake?” said Gerald, dodging.
He didn't want to be blamed for his actions.
An old grandmother who had only been observing from the corner of the hall at that time suddenly stood up and approached Gerald. The entire Xandifield family also widened their eyes because this woman had interfered in this matter. Meanwhile, other families were also surprised by the rise of this grandmother from her seat.
He was an expert who was most respected by the entire Vampire clan. Even Bosy was submissive and obedient to her.
"The CCTV may not show your face because you have your back to it and it's hard to find traces of your identity. They will only judge the man as a mysterious man without them even knowing that this man is Gerald. You. But there is another urgent problem. All they know is that there is a clan of vampires living in their midst,” said the old woman, Phoebe Patricia.
Gerald immediately breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that opinion, because he didn't have to worry too much about their clan's big secret being exposed.
“However…” Phoebe continued.
DEG.
Gerald's heart immediately stopped hearing the word "but", which meant that he had another problem. His eyes looked at Phoebe with concern.
The woman with many wrinkles on her face was also holding Gerald's shoulder with a firm grip. Gerald was scared too.
“But, there is another witness that you didn't consider. The woman who will be the victim of r**e must know your identity, right? You think you can just let him get away with it?” said Phoebe, raising one eyebrow sarcastically.
Gerald's body shivered.
“She must die before her mouth opens to another!” Phoebe shouted thunderously.
Gerald was astonished by Phoebe's statement telling him to kill someone he had just saved from being r***d.
All the members of the meeting that didn't only consist of the Xandifield family nodded their heads.
"KILL HER!" shouted Phoebe in Gerald's face.
His saliva also spurted because he was too fiery when he said it. Gerald looked at him in fear. He had never killed a girl before. This was also the first time for him to look into the eyes of such an innocent girl.?
Can he kill the innocent girl?
