Chapter 26 - Chapter 25: Feelings

Crown prince Levi moved from house to hide, drinking innocent humans blood leaving a pile of dead bodies of about fifty. Once he was done doing that, he leap on top a mountain before landing softly on the dust.

He cleaned the blood from his mouth before he smiled evilly.

"My dear brother your end is just starting". He smirked before walking away deep into the forest.

Back in Calanthor kingdom,

Catherine was escorted to a room on the second floor by the duchess.

Have some sleep, it's late. The duchess said with a small smile.

Lady Catherine nodded before entering inside the room. The duchess left to go have her night sleep. On entering inside,she went to sit on the bed as memories of the kiss Lucas gave her flashed through her memory and she couldn't help but blush hard. Her cheeks turned red in embarrassment as she could remember how she had moaned softly with the way Lucas had kissed her.

She closed her eyes tightly before laying on the bed covering her face with her palms. She was still feeling embarrassed. Even though the duchess acted as though what had happened in the lounge was nothing, but she had this feeling that the duchess was kinda curious about what happened and didn't know how she'd ask the princess to avoid getting on the prince bad side.

She stood up and went to the bathroom to have her own bath. After bathing, she came out wearing her white night gown before climbing on the bed to sleep.

In the royal castle of king Henry,

There was silence every where as the maids were already in their quarter asleep. While some of the royal family were asleep, but some weren't as Lady Clara was walking slowly on the hallway.

She walked towards prince Oliver room.

She could feel her heart raced uncontrollably. She knocked on the door and the next moment, the door opened showing a tall Oliver whose red eyes had turned to brown.

My lady, you came. He said bowing a little. He moved to the side to allow the princess to enter the room.

Clara walked in and made her way to sit on the couch. Hope I didn't disturb you? She asked innocently. Her feelings for her step brother was getting more stronger and stronger as the day passed, she was scared not only to be rejected by her brother but what the people will say about a half sister having feelings her half brother. Will it even make sense if a sister is caught marrying her brother? Does that sound normal to any one?

But they were vampires and can marry whoever they want to? Her heart clenched tightly as her green eyes stared at the prince who made his way to take the jug of water, pouring it in a cup for the lady.

Have some water my lady. He said stretching the cup for her to meekly collect it.

She took a sip out of the water while Oliver observed her. He knew she had a thing for him, but he just decided to act as though it's nothing. It's only her that has dare to come to his room late at night. Even though he try to deny it, he too is slowly having this inexplicable feelings towards her as if he is been attached to her.

Clara slowly dropped the cup on the table before staring at him intently.

Oliver too also stared at her not knowing what each of them will say to the other.

The silence between them kept on dragging making the atmosphere awkward for both of them. After a long while of silence, Oliver parted his lips to talk,

"You couldn't sleep?" He asked with his probing gaze.

Clara shook her violently as if she has muted for a long time.

She then stood up a d slowly approached him while he observe her features. She was very beautiful with her green eyes ànd her brunette hair that cascaded down her waist. He was tempted to pull a few strands of her hair and tuck it in behind her ear, but he clenched his fists tightly to avoid doing anything that will make them regret it.

I will take my leave now. She finally said standing closer to him, her face less inches away from him.

He could hear the uncontrollably pounding of her heart beat racing non stop. He didn't say anything and allowed her to walk past him, Clara felt deeply hurt by what just happened. She had expected him to stop her and ask her why she had come to see him, but no, he did the opposite of what she had expected.

She kept on walking in a very very slow pace hoping and praying in her mind he should stop her, but as her feet kept on reaching towards where the door was, she didn't hear his call and she didn't know why, but she had the urge to burst out in tears. After her painfully slow walking pace, she finally reached the door and touched the door knob, twisting it open in a sluggish way so he could stop her , but nothing happened. She fully opned the door and walked out of the room as the sting tears finally spill from her green eyes. She began to cry silently walking lonesomely on the hallway that was as usual,quiet.

"Why can't you read that I'm falling for you Oliver?" She questioned herself placing her Palm on her chin. She cleaned the little teardrops from her eyes. I really really love you, but it is as though you can't read through me? Is it because I'm....."

She was pulled from her train of thoughts when she saw the royal grandma's shadow going to another corridor on the left. She furrowed her brows in confusion, where is grandma going? She thought and decided to ignore her and went back to her room, her thoughts fully immersed on him. Prince Oliver.
