"This, Your Majesty. It's all done" Floretta said while pelting his work at Raven Black's desk.
"thank you. Let me check first" said Raven without looking.
"Ugh, my body is still not strong. It feels so dizzy. I can't stand for too long" Floretta said in her heart.
"Sit. I don't want Alden's homelin, because he knocked his wife unconscious" Raven said without looking.
"Eh? Can he understand my thoughts?" thought Floretta, while walking towards the chair in front of Raven's table.
"I didn't read your mind, but anyone could have guessed it by looking at that pale, weak face of yours" Raven said, checking Floretta's work.
"Fix, he can read my mind" Floretta murmured inwardly.
"Your job is still a lot wrong. A lot of data was missed" Raven said moments later.
"Then I'll fix it again, Your Majesty. I'll make sure this time it won't be wrong" Floretta said.
"No need," Raven replied quickly.
"Eh? Lothawat! He must be very angry with me" Floretta said in his heart.
"I'm not mad at you. From the beginning I knew a lot was wrong. Let the palace officials fix it" Raven said.
Although he said he wasn't angry with Floretta, his face seemed to say something different.
"Ja-so for what did His Majesty tell me to do?" floretta asked confusedly mixed in annoyance.
"Since the beginning I said, you have to take responsibility for having made the palace work pile up. But I understand your work because it has just healed" replied Raven. "And I want to see, were you really serious about what you said back then?" coined.
"U-my words?" Floretta dug into her memory, recalling what she had said to the prince at the time.
"If you want to get recognition as a future queen here, your path is still very long. But at least, you're not as bad as I thought you were" Raven said.
"Eh? He's complimenting me again?"
Floretta recalled Aden's remarks some time ago, which said the prince liked her. The woman also looked awkwardly at the prince.
"One thing you need to remember. Although Alden said he did not need a wife anymore, but he could have been forced to do it, if you do not qualify as a prospective queen. Alden will not be able to resist the decision of the court's advisory council."
"W-what did he say? So I really need to qualify as a potential queen, so as not to be deposed?" inner Floretta screamed.
"That's all I want to say. Go back to your room. Your present today will be ushered into the room. But do not forget to check first so as not to be exposed to poison like yesterday," ordered Raven.
"Does His Majesty still hate humans?" ask Floretta suddenly.
Both of Raven's eyes widened, hearing that sensitive question.
"I don't have to answer it here. Humans are a source of food for vampires. So be careful with your neck" said Raven, staring intently at Floretta.
"Uhh!" Floretta reflex covered her neck with a palm.
"Go before I change my mind. Don't let your blood run dry before you can be queen" Raven ordered.
"Well, Your Majesty."
"Haaah, motherfucker queen test! Just make a headache. Do I have to turn into a ruthless person like those nobles, in order to survive and be accepted here?"
"Pretend to be someone else, so that they believe that I'm not as weak as they think I am?"
Floretta grumbled inwardly, all the way to her room.
"But it seems that now I can breathe a little sigh of relief, because Prince Raven doesn't hate me as much as he used to," Floretta said.
My battle is still long, and until now I have not been able to get the support of any noble to rise to become the future queen."
"Whatever happens, I will not give up. I've come this far, I won't back down anymore" he said inwardly.
...🦇🦇🦇...
"Why do I hate humans?" Raven repeated Floretta's question.
"I don't hate people, but I hate everyone around me. It's all because of those two guys. Who never thought I existed."
Raven stood by the window, staring at the thinning snow. His jaw was hardened, and his eyes were glittering withholding emotions.
His brain turned back a dark memory when he was very young. The hunting instinct is much higher than other vampires, so that a seagull does not escape its target.
It was because of this that his parents, His Majesty King Adellard Black and His Majesty Queen Selene Blanche considered him a dangerous monster. The culmination of all the tragedies was when Prince Raven was rumored to have illegally taken human blood, and his title as crown prince was stripped.
"Even until they both died, I was never recognized as their first son. Everyone believed in them, for they were wise queens and great kings. What's wrong with me loving blood? I'm a vampire, "inner Raven with a hunting chest.
"They both just love what they love. A obedient and blood-crazy child. Then they leave what they think is bad and act like monsters."
"I really hate him. I want to destroy it. I think destroying everyone who fears me will make me happy and my revenge will be avenged."
Raven was getting lost in her own thoughts. The old wounds that had so deepened in his heart, and made him a cold-hearted vampire, filled his frozen heart again.
"But in the end it never disappears. My revenge is getting worse. But as things got worse, the woman came to consider me an honorable vampire noble. She's the only woman who thinks of me as family, especially when we're having dinner together" Raven told herself.
It seems that Raven really fell for the princess who came from that human world. His attitude towards Floretta, very different from his attitude with the beautiful girls of the vampire nation, who had approached him first.
"Must I not fall in love with my sister's wife?"

"Have you heard from Ecarlatte Castle? Floretta's condition has improved, even now he has worked with Prince Raven" Russell said at the palace council office.
"Eh? Does that make any sense? Wasn't it from the last examination of his organs that many were already close to death? Such a human being, could not be treated by doctors and ordinary magic." Edmund had just heard the news.
"Where is this, Erlina? Didn't you say that poison has no antidote?" ask Amber Geranium, Erlina's friend.
"It seems that Floretta was not healed by the king's personal physician or court physician. But because of her special blood, that's why she was able to endure," Erlina replied with rustling teeth. I also suspect, there's someone who has high-level magic helping him heal faster."
"you mean? Who would want to help heal that man?" ask Daisy Krimson.
"Of course, the supreme noble after the royal family, is Jasmine Blanche."
