CHAPTER 4 Sudden Love Scenario

Suddenly, the Vampire King entered the room, surprising everyone in that place. He wore his royal cloak with his charisma. Even though he was getting old, the way he walked into the room still illustrates his power and charisma.?

Everyone immediately bowed to the man, including Bosy, and her husband. Even the elder Phoebe respected him. He walked through the crowd, getting closer to Gerald.

“You are the Vampire prince. If you can't do something that easy, how can you lead our kingdom?” said the King to Gerald who just stood in the middle of the room.

Gerald was already on his knee when the king stood in front of him.

“A prince should be able to take responsibility for what he does. How did you end up in this place and be judged like this? Doesn't this show your unworthy qualities to be the successor of this kingdom?" stated the king.

He has heard his son’s problem before getting into the room. He never thought that his own son who will lead the kingdom after his death still got a problem with human.

All of the people kept silent, including Gerald himself.

"Isn't that right, Bosy? Gerald is not ready to replace my position, right? How about your son?" continued the King to Bosy, chairman of the meeting that day, sarcastically. He knew exactly that Bosy silently wanted her son to replace Gerald’s position as crown prince in this Vampire kingdom. That was why Bosy tried to over-reacted on Gerald’s case.

“My goodness, Your Majesty. No one is more deserved to be a crown prince than Gerald Xandifield” replied Bosy with a bowed head.

“Prince?” asked Lisa on her own mind after hearing the conversation.

She listened to the old man’s voice who stated so. Immediately she felt goosebumps. What she faced is bigger than she thought. She did not only face a vampire man, but the vampire kingdom itself. How she can get out of this? She felt more desperate than before.

Lisa tried to calm down. She felt more desperate than before. This king would not let her go, she assumed.?

“Tell me why can’t you kill this young lady?” asked the king to Gerald.

Gerald stood still. His brain worked so hard to find a way to save this innocent lady. However, he could not think anything.

He stood up from his kneeling. He walked to get closer to the young lady. He looked at the girl closely. This girl even did not try to fight against the two vampires who hold her body.?

Suddenly the empathy came into his heart to her again.

“Let’s come back to our highest law of the Vampire kingdom. Rule no. 115. The vampire is not allowed to kill human being who is related to a family with a vampire family. Is that true?” asked Gerald before he gave his argument about why this girl was not allowed to kill.

“Yes, but what’s the correlation to this?” asked the king with a stronger voice.

Gerald walked closer to the young lady. He sat closely in from of her who sat on the ground floor desperately. Gerald touched her chin and then raises it up.

"All of you are not allowed to kill her based on that rule," said Gerald.

"Why?" asked Bosy.

Gerald's hand was still touching her chin. He smiled.

“She is my wife” answered Gerald suddenly.

“ARE YOU CRAZY???” shouted the king.

The entire crowd stood up from their chairs after hearing one shocking statement from Gerald. Bosy opened her mouth without her even realizing it. All of the people in the hall were shocked, including Lisa herself.

“What is wrong with this guy?” asked her silently in her own brain.

She could not see his face but she remembered that voice was coming from the guy who saved him from the rape that night. He was someone that people called a vampire prince today.

She could not give any response to his statement. Her mouth and her eyes which were closed made her difficult to express her denial.

“That could not be real,” said Phoebe with a lower voice.

“Low-key, I was getting married without anyone knowing because I know, as a vampire prince; all of you will force me to get married to a vampire clan as well. That’s why I get married to her secretly. Nobody is allowed to kill her because she is my wife.” said Gerald trying to make his statement make sense.

"Do you want me to believe this joke?" asked the king with a big laugh.

"I am not joking. This is real. Do you want me to kiss her in front of you?" said Gerald challenging his father.

Bosy and his husband started to believe him.

“Is that why you saved her from the rapist?” asked Bosy who still could not believe what she heard.

Gerald nodded his head, “Bingo!”

“Is that why you cannot kill her with your own hand?” asked Bosy’s husband.

Gerald nodded his head again and answered with the same word, “Bingo!”

The king was still shocked as he could not make any statement over Gerald’s explanation. He felt like he would get a heart attack because his only child married a human being without his consent. Suddenly he was speechless. He did not know what to say or what to do with this case.

"Take this young lady to my personal room. NOW" asked Gerald to two people who hold Lisa's hands.

Those men pulled her as he asked.

"Don't be that rude," said Gerald to them.

"Should we open this now?" asked them.

"No. Just take her to my room, with eyes and mouth closed. I need to finish this court first" stated Gerald.

They took Lisa as Gerald's order while he was still waiting for his father's response. He looked at the crowd which was no longer noisy. Nobody in this room could make any statement after Gerald's shocking confession. The king himself could not believe his son's statement.?
