"Uh, again I made someone hurt and almost die. I'm totally useless."
Since sucking Floretta's blood, Raven has been alone in her room. No servant should enter his room. His work also became neglected.
"I hate myself. Is there no way to dispose of this killer instinct?" Ratap Raven on himself.
From childhood, he had a great obsession with blood. He can even kill people to fulfill his obsession.
This is what makes Raven shunned many of his friends when he was a child, and made himself isolated. He was also rarely involved in royal activities, as he often rioted due to his bloodthirsty nature.
The longer, Raven was increasingly forgotten by the people, because often punished should not go out of the palace, so as not to make a scene. He became known as the Cold and Cruel Prince of Ecarlatte Castle.
As a teenager, he tried many ways to keep his throne as a future king. Various ways he traveled, to extreme ways though. Raven collected rare bloods, in order to attract the sympathy of her powerful father at the time.
However, it turns out that all of that actually backfired on Raven. Although most vampires supported the teenage prince, his status as crown prince was revoked.
He was also not allowed to enter the human world for several years. Raven is considered by some to be a dangerous vampire.
That's what makes Raven's memories as a teenager so little, even almost nothing.
"Raven, Black! Did you kill another human?"
"Uhh!"
Bruk! Raven fell to the floor. His entire body was limp for a moment. Both of his hands were raised up, and held his suddenly aching head.
"You broke your promise, Raven!"
"I'm sorry. I won't repeat it again" exclaimed Raven as she groaned in pain.
"You're grounded! Caged in the library until the king's birthday celebration is over."
"I beg. Ii'm sorry. I promise I won't repeat it again." Raven continued to scream, until her voice echoed within the narrow room.
"You can hate me! I had to do this for your own good. Stay here until you reflect on all your mistakes.
Klang's! The door of the library was tightly shut, with two large padlocks hanging there. And a powerful guard magic circle.
"Mother ...! Please don't leave me, Mom!"
Raven screamed for help. But the vampire queen continued to walk away, without looking back.
"Mother ...!"
"Heah... Haaa... Is it just a dream?"
Raven rubbed the sweat, which flooded her body. His breathing was stinging, as if he had just run towards the top of a mountain.
Apparently he fell asleep after a whole night of regretting what he did to Floretta. He even dreamed of his past that he did not want to remember.
"Ah, I envy Alden. It's better that I can't drink human blood, than live like this" muttered Raven sadly.
...🦇🦇🦇...
"What's? You want to keep serving Raven, after she almost died yesterday?" said Alden with big round eyes.
"Yes, this is my job" Floretta replied, nodding her hair, like any other servant.
"No, kok. His Highness Prince Raven has yet to make an official announcement about my status right now. That means I'm still Kak Raven's personal servant, right?" floretta said casually.
"But what if you get hurt again? Yesterday the necklace didn't work, did it?" alden said as he looked at Floretta with an anxious face.
"Hey, trust me. This is part of the training of the queen. If something like this is something I want to escape from, how can I be queen?" reply Floretta.
The sweet smile on the woman's face made Alden even more worried. What if she can't see that smile again?
"Udah, really. No need to melow. Let's have breakfast. At seven o'clock I had to be there, so the prince wouldn't scold me again."
Floretta, who had finished dressing up, pulled Alden's arm and took him away from the room.
"Wait!"
Raven pulled Floretta, then held her tightly. "Yes, you can go there. I won't be able to win against a stubborn girl like you" Alden relented.
"Be careful, sweetheart. You should know, the library is not a pleasant place for Raven. There are many dark memories there" Alden continued, without letting go of his embrace.
"Huh? A timing? Isn't that where you and she played with the queen?" floretta was confused.
"At first it was, but then it turned into hell for Raven's sister" Alden whispered almost inaudibly.
"What's really going on in there?" ask Floretta.
...🦇🦇🦇...
Raven opened her eyes wide. His forehead was wrinkled with one of his hands propping up his chin. While Floretta stood before the prince, with both hands clasped.
"How long will he look at me like this? It's been more than five minutes I've been standing like this? What was he thinking, which body part was first fed to a wild wolf in the Deadwood forest?" the inner Floretta whose legs are starting to feel sore.
"I didn't expect you to come here again, after yesterday's incident" Raven said with a flat tone.
The man was astonished, this was the first time anyone had dared to go back to see him, having almost died from being attacked by a diringa.
"Of course I have to go back, Your Majesty. Hasn't His Majesty not yet revoked my duties as a personal servant?" floretta replied with a trembling voice.
Although a sweet smile was engraved on her face, but a feeling of fear still ruled her body. The terrifying shadow of yesterday's events, still swirling in his head.
"What's your excuse? Let alone humans, but even the vampire nobles will definitely run away if they have seen my true figure," Raven's suspicious search.
"Is that really the Prince's true figure? I doubt it, because the Prince rarely interacts with the outside world" Floretta said. "And the reason I'm here, is to complete my responsibilities of taking the queen candidate exam" she said.
"Oh, so you want to bribe me this way, to give you a recommendation as a future queen?" raven who grinned widely. "You think I'll be touched by that attitude of yours?" ask the prince.
"Well, take it for granted" Floretta replied, not taking any offense.
"Hmmm, okay. But open your apron first. You don't need it today" Raven ordered.
Floretta also obeyed the orders of his sister-in-law. In his heart he was second-guessing, what kind of work would that cold prince give today.
"Because yesterday my work was a lot neglected, so I hope you can help me. Come to my workroom. You're ready, aren't you, with what kind of tasks I give you?" whispered Raven while smiling so sweetly.
Gluey! "Dead me. Hopefully this time it's not weird anymore" inner Floretta.
