" You know as a second consort, you are supposed to greet people with a smile and respect," said Blaise as he raised his finger and placed it on the edge of the sword before pushing it away from his throat. Unlike with Bree, this time he did not hold himself back and inculcated a generous amount of magical power in the sword that Ahmar was holding against his throat. " You better put that sword away unless you want to make an enemy out of the De Luca family, Master Greco. Because I don't know about you but De Luca's never take a threat lying down."
" Are you saying that the heir of the Greco family will be willing to submit to your whims?" Ahmar raised a brow as he raised his head slightly. Thunder seemed to be crackling as the two men glared at each other, behind them their aides started to sweat like crazy—— were these two even in the right state of their mind? This wasn't their mommy's kitchen where they can play around! If they were to draw swords here, then the Queen can have them executed without even facing the slightest trouble and knowing the current mood of the Dragon Queen, creating a ruckus like this —- was equivalent to handing their heads to her on a silver platter with coriander garnish!
" My…My lord, we should go back... if the Queen finds out that you are lurking near her palace she will be very angry." Xander tried to take his lord away but his stupid lord just turned his head and shot him a glare that was filled with so much killing intent that Xander zipped his mouth close. Whatever at least he tried!
Ahmar turned his attention back to Blaise and narrowed his eyes ever so slightly before he opened his mouth and in a voice that seemed to be too dry and grating asked, " What are you doing here?"
" The same thing as you," replied Blaise without hiding anything, his lips were still curled in a smile even though a thirsty vampire was standing in front of him. It was common knowledge that vampires and werewolves were the strongest at night but Blais didn't fear Ahmar, he knew that even if the man wanted to chop him into pieces and roast him like a pork chop, he wouldn't be able to do that ever in his life. " Now if you excuse me, I have to go."
But instead of stepping aside, Ahmar tapered in his personal space. " You know what? I wish I could feast on your blood until you are all dried up. After all, you are still as annoying as ever, I see."
" Aww, my feelings exactly." tracing a finger on Ahmar's jaw that was smacked away almost instantly, Blaise sneered. " I wish I could turn you into a rodent and then deal with you once and forever. It would be so much fun watching you squeak around when I use you as my Guinea pig. Now if you are done, I have to take my beauty sleep because unlike a certain someone I don't want to have heavy dark circles around my eyes." Brushing past Ahmar, Blaise knocked his shoulder in his. " Maybe try some skin care, second consort. You look f*cking ugly."
Xander who was left to take care of his enraged master cursed the eighteenth hundred generations of the third consort. Who was ugly? Who the hell was ugly huh? He immediately hurried over to his master who seemed to have become one with the dark energy he was releasing. " My lord doesn't listen to the third consort, he has no idea what he is talking about! Unlike you whose hair is as dark as the beautiful midnight and glistening like an inky veil of the Tartarus, his hair is silvery and white like an old man! You still look the most handsome, my lord."
The dark energy around Ahmar decreased significantly before he looked up and stared at the window that was shut tightly after Blaise has trespassed. He clenched his fingers tightly, it wasn't like he couldn't break it and get inside but ——
' You look f*cking ugly.' Blaise's remark seemed to have hit a nerve as he turned around and looked at his aide before he rasped. " Go and get me the latest pearl essence that promises to vanish dark circles in an instant."
"But that thing is out of stock, my lord!" said Xander as he looked at his lord who mercilessly stared at him until he couldn't withstand the pressure. " I will put my life on the line and get it for you master."
After getting one up over Ahmar, Blaise was in an awfully good mood but then his good mood was ruined the second he walked past the artificial lake and heard a shriek of a woman. Half annoyed and half interested in watching the show he strode towards the lake where Harley was sitting in the middle of the lake, dripping wet and scared—— it was a good thing that the lake was infused with magic or else she would have drowned by now.
" Cy...Cynthia what do you mean by this?" sobbed Harley as she looked at the maid who was standing in front of her with a harsh expression on her face. "I never …I never looked down at you guys, I am not that kind of person."
" You are not that kind of person? Are you f*cking kidding me Harley?" snapped the maid called Cynthia as she glared at Harley. " Do you think that I am blind or something? I told you that I was interested in Blake and wanted to chase after him, so why did you do that today? Why? How could you seduce him like that?"
"I did not seduce him!" shot back Harley as she got on her feet and wiped her tears from her cheek. " I was simply walking by and he tried to take advantage of me! Just because you like trash like him doesn't mean I do too! I might be an omega but I have my pride too! If you do not trust me then I have nothing to say, maybe I am at fault for treating you so sincerely, your lover tried to ruin my reputation but instead of helping me out, you are taking his side! I was so very wrong about you Cynthia!"
Then letting out a hysterical sob, she covered her face running right in the direction of Blaise who was hiding in the shadows and then who knew whether it was incidental or not, she ran right into his arms.
