Loved By a Vampire King

Coming back to the orphanage, Isabella was a little back after Leora's words. Her expression was too frightened and genuine that Isabella couldn't doubt on her words.

Isabella spoke, her voice turning whisper,

" What.. what happened to her mother? Why did Duke Silas killed her?"

Leora opened her mouth to speak but reminding of how Silas could strangle her life, Leora closed her mouth, swallowed down her words that just nearly slipped out from her mouth. Isabella kept waiting for her answer to continue but Leora suddenly grabbed her hands anxiously.

She begged, hoping that Isabella could help her out in this situation,

" Madame, I believe that you can stop Duke Silas. Tiara has no family members living in this world except her father. I don't want her to be left alone like me. Please.. ask Duke Silas to spare her father's life. She is still too small. Please.."

Isabella didn't get much time to adjust her mind. Her only thought lingered on the fact that Tiara will have no father like her. Though he was still alive, he was never there for them. Henceforward, she decided to take the action even though the backstory behind them was still unknown to her. Actually people can deeply relate herself to others pain if she went through the same pain. At that moment, Isabella was feeling same way as Tiara who would be deprived from father's love for eternity.

Isabella questioned looking around panicking,

" Where did they might go? Do you know that or you have any idea?"

Leora took a while to think about the possiblities. Behind their orphanage, there was only wood forest which was linked to the ending land of Balvina. Tiara's father had the high chance of taking that root.

Leora quickly revealed pointing at the wood forest on their back,

" I think, they have gone to the wood forest. Please don't tell the Duke that I have asked you to go there."

Isabella assured her with a smile, turning around and flipped open her wings in a shot,

" Worry less! I won't put you in trouble, Leora."

Isabella sucked a deep breath and flaunted open her dragon wings to fly up in the sky. She even forgot the time that she used her wings to travel. Ever since she got pregnant, the medical head strictly forbade her to use the magical powers because she had a complicated pregnancy. Besides her child wasn't a pure dragon blood.

Meanwhile the birds hidden in wood forest chirped excitedly suddenly. Some of them even flew away when the sound of running footsteps turned faster and quicker. The sky above them was blurry since the fog covered tree heads.

A low piercing baby cry echoed loudly in the empty forest, starling those hidden rabbits who didn't expect an intruder at late night. As this forest belonged to Silas, no one dared to step their feet in this valley not even those wolves who wandered in late nights. Thus it was surreal for them to have a visitor at this hour.

The infant cried from her heart out when the pace of running turned faster than before. She wasn't feeling comfortable in this cold atmosphere because most of the time, she slept in Leora's embrace.

A man in shabby, torned clothes carried her towards the end of wood forest. His appearance was no better than begger and he was looking quite dull. His track halted when the hayden river greeted them with a strong gush of wind. He was nowhere to go except jumping into the water. Though he could possibly swim to reach Balvina's border, he was scared about the little baby. After all, it was his daughter, his own flesh and blood no matter how cruel he was to her.

" I am one thousand percent sure that you can't swim, Thristan.", the familiar sarcastic voice rang from his back. His back turned freeze in fear. Thristan, Tiara's father didn't expect Silas to reach over him so fast.

Thristan turned in a whip, his terrified eyes met his green eyes which was emitting a killing aura. As if she had sensed Silas's present, Tiara cried louder in Thristan's arms. A deep frown formed on Silas's expression when he sensed that how uncomfortable Tiara might be doing in Thristan's arms.

Thristan growled at Silas hatefully, Google search 𝐟r𝚎ewe𝚋𝚗૦ν𝘦𝘭. 𝐜𝚘𝗺

" Give my daughter back, Silas. She isn't not yours. I am her father and I can do anything with her."

Silas cracked into a devilish laughter. His cold voice resounded with the powerful wind coming from the river,

" Give her to you? So that you can sell her blood to those rogues?"

Thristan sticked his tongue out. Looking at the baby who wasn't stopping her cry, he retorted back barking,

" So what if I do? You are no good for her. You know better than anyone else that she will be safe with me more than you."

Despite his consistent insult, Silas had no expression on his face. Instead he gave him a tongue tighted smile, replying with a playful voice,

" Let's play a game, Thirstan. If you can jump into the water, I will let you take away Tiara with you."

Thirstan's expression turned troubled after his words. He looked back into the water which had tide waves and a series of stones running through the water, he was suddenly scared about his own safety too. He wasn't any powerful wolf but a creature who barely had magical powers.

Though Thristan didn't express his fears, Silas had read through his mind. His lips curled up, extending his arms in order to take back Tiara,

" You can never do that, Thristan because you are coward as usual just like the way, you left her mother after making her pregnant with your baby."

Thristan swallowed the hurt painfully. He left her indeed for his family but bringing her with him to his house would have killed her faster than she died. Thristan retorted back, looking into his eyes sneering,

" So what if I did? Aren't you the one who killed her at the end? You will kill everyone around you, Silas. Those people who love you, they will be all killed by you. Leave Tiara with me, Silas. At least, she will live longer with me."
