“This is just one gift. I still have another gift for you,” Alden said excitedly.
“There's more?” floretta was surprised. The white cat in Floretta's arms jumped down, shocked to hear Floretta's high shrill voice.
“Iya, here's the prize.” Alden pointed at a beak woman who entered the room.
“Bu Magenta? I-it's the best gift, Your Highness.”
Floretta's face looked bright, seeing the arrival of the senior servant. Although she knows the woman is a vampire, her kindness makes Floretta feel the affection of a mother again.
“Iya, Her Royal Highness the Princess. But unfortunately I am not the gift that is meant by His Majesty the King, but rather the snacks and fruits of this human world,” said Bu Magenta. Both of his hands were carrying some plastic that was full of food.
“O-oh, so, yes?” floretta muttered with a reddened face in embarrassment.
“I know, you often hold hunger. Because the food here is not suitable for you,” said Alden. “If less, I can ask the head of the kitchen to order a lot of food from the human world,”.
“Thank you, Your Grace. But I think that's enough for the next few weeks,” Floretta replied in a soft tone.
...🦇🦇🦇...
Floretta sat pensively facing the window. During the winter here, the only sight he saw was snowfall. But it was much better, than seeing the gazes of the vampires, who were always whispering gossiping about him.
“Pillow? Where you from? Aren't you sad to part with your parents and brothers?” Floretta spoke, rubbing the delicate fur of the spoiled animal.
“Meaw.” The cat, Pillow, meows slowly, then sleeps in Floretta's lap.
“Hmm, true too. What else am I messing with? Alden loved me so much, even though he himself was underestimated by the servants for bringing humans here. That should be enough, to make me stay here, right?”
Floretta took a deep breath. It's not easy for a human being to live in the middle of a vampire kingdom like this. But during his time here, Alden always tried to make him comfortable.
“If I sign the marriage annulment letter, then leave here, Alden will definitely feel very sad. Though she had sacrificed many things to marry me,” inner Floretta.
The sky is getting darker. Winter without the presence of the sun, increasingly makes the vampire palace look dark. The cold air that enveloped the entire Ecarlatte castle, made the atmosphere there so grim and foggy.
What is the situation in the human world today? Does it look dark and gloomy like this too?
Growll's! Floretta's slender belly rang asking to be filled.
“Ah, true too. It's dinner soon. I have to get ready to accompany Alden to a meal. But it still seems to be time to cook something. Alden really likes kebabs, right?”
Floretta moved the cat in her lap onto the chair. He was busy removing some groceries from the refrigerator in his room. His small hands looked agile to concoct seasoning, to make the typical Turkish dish. His tiny private kitchen was full of the smell of food, which made saliva flow.
Not stopping there, Floretta then flushed his body with water. She chooses the best dress for dinner, and asks Lily to dress her up as beautifully as possible.
A few moments later.
“Sorry Floretta, tonight you have to eat alone. I have another appointment,” Alden said, as they passed in the hallway of the palace.
“Oh, other appointment?” Floretta's a little disappointed. She made a special menu for her husband, and dressed up beautifully.
The man before him also looked very neat, with a full suit, an expensive watch, and a soft perfume fragrance.
“Iya, we meet again tomorrow morning, yes,” Alden said as he hurriedly left.
“Wait, Your Grace. Will you be receiving guests? Do I have to come with you?” ask Floretta. Since living in the kingdom, Floretta had never been involved in any court activities.
“No need. You eat dinner, then just rest in the room,” reject Alden firmly.
“Your Majesty, Duchees Erlina has arrived,” said one of the assistants to the vampire king.
“Is that? Tell him to wait a minute. I'll be there soon,” Alden replied.
“Go see your ex-fiancee?” Floretta pulls the tip of the husband's suit, to keep him from going to see the ex.
The blue-eyed man glanced at the beautiful woman next to him. The jealous tone that was so audible from the intonation of his voice, made Alden a little riled up.
“Yes, meet my former fiance,” Alden replied. Just this time, he saw a sharp expression full of jealousy from the wife.
“Then I have to come, dong. He and I have never met, right?” said Floretta a little pushy.
“It seems like you can't, Flo. Erlina must be uncomfortable meeting you right now. I have to explain everything to the girl.” Alden refused the wife's request.
Floretta grunts annoyed.
“You eat first. Later I will see you, after Erlina comes home,” refer Alden again.
“Neither! I'm sleepy, so I'll definitely sleep fast,” Floretta refused. The woman then turned around, and left Alden in the hallway of the palace.
