The rainstorm has subsided. The golden-yellow rays of the sun once again illuminated the entire capital of the vampire kingdom. But that doesn't mean it's all over.
Fallen trees damage buildings everywhere. High floods still pool in some lowlands and make residents forced to evacuate. Little children are cold and crying in fear, as a result of their homes being flooded.
"Come, Son. I'll take you somewhere safe."
A woman in an angelic manner stuck out her hand at some little boy who was curled up in the cold under a tree. Highlight his warm eyes, able to melt the fear that overpowers the vampire boys who do not yet have fangs. Their parents were busy cleaning up the rubble of their house that was swept away by the flood.
His white wings studded with silver dust flapped elegantly. Take the children to a higher and safer place. He also gave dry clothes and blood sausages to prop up the children's stomachs.
"Thank you, Miss Angel," the children exclaimed with a wide smile. It's weird to see a vampire without fangs.
The woman with the perfect blend of face, snow-white skin, and slender body with white wings did indeed make that figure look like an angel. Plus a thin smile that can melt the heart of anyone.
"I am not an angel, but a witch" she said, flapping her wings twice. Silver dust flew into the air, like crystal grains that were struck by sunlight.
The kids were silent for a moment. The cheerful smiles on their faces disappeared. Compactly they stared at each other, then looked at the beautiful woman intensely.
"Thank you kind witch," the children exclaimed again as they waved their hands.
Floretta smiled amusedly. Yeah, how about it again. The children were still too innocent, to know the feud between humans and the vampire nation.
"Please see yourself well. Don't play in the middle of a torrent" Floretta said, flapping his wings, exploring a corner of the capital that was ravaged by flood waters.
"His Royal Highness Princess Floretta. It was Princess Floretta."
Residents on the outskirts of the royal vampire capital boisterously exclaimed, as Floretta helped them clean up the rubble of the house hit by the ferocious water with her magic. They consist of middle class. Their profession in general is teachers, traders, office employees, to medics.
"It turns out that it's really pretty. The birthday of the king back then, I could only see it from a distance" chirped one of the stunned youths.
"It turns out she's not only beautiful, but also kind. Look, he wants to help us, who have mocked him and banished him from the vampire kingdom" the others replied.
"Your Majesty. Thank you for helping us. But Your Majesty should return to the palace hall to continue the examination of the future queen" said some royal staff who helped overcome the flood problem.
"G ..."
Floretta muttered softly. He came here in a hurry, because he was worried about the state of the population affected by the flood, to forget about the exam. His crystal-blue eyes, looked down. The dress is no longer silvery white, but brown because of the mud patches that stick.
"I won't be able to take the exam under these conditions, will I?" floretta asked herself.
"But if Your Majesty fails the test this time, there will be no more chance for the next exam. Her Majesty was forced to give up being queen" explained the royal staff.
Floretta was worried for a moment. She remembered Alden's plea to her last night. At the same time, both of his eyebrows were clinging to the chaos before his eyes.
"Maybe I can take the exam well. But how could I possibly ascend to the throne in this way?"
Floretta's eyelids are wet. Hundreds of people are in need of help right now.
"No, I won't run away again. Yesterday I had Alden dying because I was following my emotions. Why would I be queen if I didn't have a conscience?"
"You can go, Flo. I'll take care of this place."
An owl with a heavy and authoritative voice, appeared from behind. Soon, the blackish-grey-colored fowl changed its form into a handsome man.
"Gufo's? Ah, I mean His Majesty the King. Since when are there owls during the day?" floretta said, laughing.
"Don't make fun of me!" sergeant Alden.
"What is the fate of the troublemakers? Shouldn't His Majesty be in the palace now to take care of the matter?" ask Floretta while helping the medical team treat the injured elderly.
"Eh, how do you know that this natural disaster was them? Not even the elders know it." Alden was shocked by the sentence that slid from his wife's lips.
While Floretta simply smiled as he said, "Your Majesty forgot? I'm a witch now."
... 🦇🦇🦇...
Two days after the flood. He recovered quickly and returned to work as usual. Floretta was officially declared a failure in the exam of the future queen. Alden was asked to find another queen, or abdicate.
"It's not fair. Your period was declared a failure of the examination for escaping from the hall? Though yesterday it was because there was an unexpected problem," Alden grumbled as he paced around in his room.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. It's all my fault. But if I have to be a concubine, even returned to the human world, I am sincere" said Floretta, who sat down before the king.
"I am the unselfish. You're the best candidate to be queen. What is wrong is precisely them, the members of the jstana council who are currently locked in a special prison," Alden said again.
"I will appeal to the palace's advisory board to make a retest" Alden said as he stood up from his seat.
"No need." A figure of an eagle suddenly appeared from behind the window and barged into the room without permission. "Didn't you see the commotion in front of the castle?" he continued, after changing into a man in all black clothes.
"What does brother mean?" Alden scrunched his forehead.
"See it yourself" replied Raven.
Alden and Floretta walked to the front balcony of the castle. They also saw hundreds of people who were protesting. Floretta's eyes glazed over, as she looked at the sentence written on the long white cloth.
"Give us back our queen! A human being has more conscience than a vampire" the protesters exclaimed.
Apparently the news about the Amethyst family that caused the flash flood has spread. The people who are tormented by the artificial natural disaster are also angry. Their sympathy for the nobles faded. They turn to ask a human who has transformed into a great witch, to become their queen.
"You guys see, right? The people have sided with Floretta. And it's not just in the capital. Several other provinces have also asked Floretta to rise to become queen, as her kindness has been proven" Raven said without a smile on her face.
"Aren't you really supporting both of us?" asked Alden doubtfully.
"Eitherway. Until now I still see Floregta as a very delicious dinner" said the man as he passed away.
