The Vampire King's Storage Waiter

Chapter 23. Right, We Drink Human Blood

“Isn't your birthday eleven days away? And by then the palace will be distributing human blood for free, right? Especially if not for an offering? or tumbal?”

"You also forbid me to get out of this room alone, until Day H" Floretta said.

Alden was shocked to hear all the confessions from his wife. "Where did he hear all this? Did any waitress report it?" thought Alden riled. He does not want, the plan will be dismantled and failed, before the day H.

“So that's why you escaped from the palace?” ask Alden.

Floretta nodded. "Explain to me everything, Al. I'm ready to be the showpiece on your birthday. Think of it as my gift, because it has made me happy and enjoying life for the past month" Floretta said in a trembling voice. He clearly was holding back his fear.

“Sorry I made you misunderstand, Flo. But I never wanted to make you a mash,” Alden said in a very low tone.

“Terus why? What do you mean by big plans on that H day?” Floretta urged Alden to open the sound.

"Later we'll talk. Now you have to eat. Since escaping from the palace, you haven't filled your stomach, have you?" said Alden evaded Floretta's question just now.

"Don't dodge it again, Your Majesty." Floretta slightly raised her voice from feeling annoyed.

"I promise I'll explain everything to you, but after you have dinner. I don't want you to get sick any more" Alden said.

"I don't believe it. You've been hiding too much from me, until I misunderstood. I'll eat after you explain everything" he added.

Alden took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly.

"May I hold your hand?" Alden spoke very softly. Her beautiful eyes, staring at the wife expectantly.

"Yes, please. As long as you tell me everything. Just hold hands, yeah. No more" said Floretta with flaming eyes.

"Yes, I promise. My wife is really fierce, anyway," Alden replied with a small laugh.

"Don't laugh. You still owe me an explanation" Floretta said.

"Well, Your Highness Princess Floretta. I'll explain everything right now" Alden said in formal language, inviting laughter. He then grabbed the hand of the beautiful woman before him, and grasped it tightly.

Floretta's face was slightly flushed, as Alden called her Your Majesty.

"So the day I was referring to was the day of the meeting of Her Royal Highness Princess Floretta, with the Palace Councilors officially. This official meeting should have taken place the day after your arrival to the palace. But they deliberately delayed it for no apparent reason" Alden said.

"You're being honest, right?" ask Floretta still can't believe it.

"Yes, sweetheart. I'm being honest. All the palace parties were angry, because I suddenly married a human. That's why I deliberately forbid anyone to meet you, in anticipation of something bad that might happen" Alden explained.

"But in this palace there are many bodyguards and CCTV. There's gonna be plenty of evidence that they did bad to me?" reply Floretta.

"A guard we can't trust so much. CCTV is only a man-made machine. There are too many spies in the palace. Until I myself never felt safe and comfortable" Alden replied.

Floretta couldn't deny Alden's words just now. Already since ancient times, everything related to political affairs and power will definitely blind one's eyes.

"I'm sorry that my attention has kept you confined here" Alden said softly.

"That's true. Since hundreds of years ago, there has been a tradition of sharing human blood for free on the king's birthday." Unexpectedly, Alden admitted that.

Floretta's face changed. He shuddered in horror, hearing Alden's confession just now. "How many humans will be slaughtered to share free blood across the country?" thought Floretta.

"But the blood that is shared is legal and has a certificate. So not a single human would be slaughtered for the sake of obtaining his blood" Alden replied, as if knowing Floretta's current thoughts.

"really legal? How'd you get it?" investigate Floretta while keeping her body away from Alden.

"We work closely with certain hospitals and charitable foundations in the human world. So there are actually humans who know the existence of vampires, such as doctors and researchers," Alden said.

"But why do you do that? What happens if you don't drink human blood?" Floretta still disagrees with the vampire's customs.

"Our nation will continue to feel hungry, despite drinking even gallons of animal blood" Alden replied.

Floretta's eyes were round, hearing this. "So you really look at us humans as food?" Floretta. The woman moved further and further away from Alden.

"Sorry, it's our destiny as vampires that can't be changed anymore. But for the sake of humanity, since three centuries ago we stopped attacking humans, and getting human blood legally" Alden explained. The man felt sad, seeing his wife getting scared of him.

"How am I to live in a nation that makes man food?" floretta said with a trembling voice. It felt like that very night, he wanted to go to the human world.

"I'll leave all the decisions to you. If you want to leave this palace, I will take you immediately if the weather has improved," Alden replied as he looked down at Floretta's face sadly.

"But can I still hope that you will stay with me as queen forever?" keep the vampire king on again.

"Did you drink human blood too, Al?" ask Floretta, without responding to her husband's sentence just now.

Alden only smiled faintly, with both eyebrows linked. His face really showed a sad expression. Her heart isn't strong, if Floretta really leaves her. The man refused to answer Floretta's question.

"Now you eat first, yes. You have to charge, if you want to fight the vampires here." Alden again persuaded Floretta to fill his stomach.

"I don't have an appetite" Floretta said.

"Do you want to eat your favorite apple pie and smoked lamb? Let's cook together, "persuade the man again.

Floretta looked at the husband's face with hardened jaws. "Where do you know that's my favorite food? And all this time I always ate eggs and boiled potatoes at my aunt's house" Floretta replied.

"You used to tell me that before" Alden replied softly.

"When? Over where? You must be saying you just want to get sympathy from me, right?" floretta said she was growing more unbelieving.

"Really, really. You often talk to me about a lot of things. We are also good friends first" Alden replied with confidence.

"Then anyway? How can I not remember at all?" floretta murmur.
