Chapter 122
Damien’s pov
I still couldn’t believe that Williams had planted someone amongst
my men to end my life if I didn’t die during the battle. I was angry, so
angry I didn’t respond to anybody’s greetings when I returned to the
castle. I could see the look of relief on their faces but I wasn’t in the
mood to know what was happening.
As I walked towards the throne room Verestina rushed to my side
with tears in her eyes and my anger escalated, did she think I was a
fool?
“I am so glad you made it back, I was scared o-”
“Where is Williams?!” I asked, my voice was deathly still and she
knew I wasn’t playing. I was still covered in blood from the battle so
she knew not to mess with me, but Verestina was always Verestina, a
very foolish vampire with no sense of retreat.
“Where the hell is Williams, tell me or I’ll snap your neck,” I said,
pinning her to the wall with my hand around her neck, my eyes had
changed color and she grew scared.

“You can’t do that to me because I don’t know where he is, I have no
idea where Williams is, h–he just left and I- don’t know where he is,”
she said, I was angry and wanted to snap her neck but I had more
questions to ask her.
“Where is your father?” I asked and her eyes widened.
“Answer me!” I said digging my fingers deeper into her neck as she
tried to claw at my hand.
“Let me go and I’ll tell you,” she said, I smiled because there was
nothing like that this time.
“It’s either you talk like this or die like this, you know how I am after
a battle don’t you, don’t mess with me because either way you’re
going to die,” I said and her eyes widened.
“W–what did I do?” She asked feigning innocence and it irritated me.
“You hurt what’s mine,” I said and her eyes grew even wider when she
realized what I was talking about, I was so angry, I knew Freda had
tried to run and she used the opportunity to take her but she hurt
what was mine and that I was never going to forgive because I had
warned her before and she still went ahead to try me.
“Wait it’s not what you think I j-” I didn’t let her speak finish before I

snapped her neck in one hand move. I watched the life leave her eyes
and I wondered why I hadn’t done it sooner. I had heard about all
their little plans from that soldier I had killed, I should have killed
her sooner, I thought to myself as I pushed her lifeless body onto the
ground and walked away, I saw some maids rush to her body happily
and I didn’t try to wonder just what had been going on in the castle
when it was time for me to find out I knew just the right person to
ask.
As I got to the throne room as if the commotion happening in the
castle hadn’t reached this side of the castle. Balen sat on a chair
going through some scrolls like he had all the time in the world, upon
hearing the sound of my boots on the ground his head came up from
the scroll he was reading and he immediately got up to his feet.
“Y–your H–highness, you’re b–back,” he said staring at me with
disbelief, I walked towards him with a few guards behind me, I had no
idea when they got here but Elara was with them.
“Guess you are surprised to see me,” I said watching his eyes grow
wider.
“S–surprised noo, I am happy to see you, you wouldn’t believe what’s
been happening in the kingdom lately, Williams your uncle tried to claim the throne, he threatened all of us that if we didn’t join him we would be thrown to the dungeon a-

“I’m guessing you joined him seeing as you are here and not in the
dungeon, now tell me where is my uncle,” I said and I saw the same
look on his face that was on Verestina’s, they didn’t know where he
was.
“I had no choice, he was going to kill my daughter, he even forced her
to be his queen,” he said now on his knees, and I smiled.
“Really, and it wasn’t that your bitch daughter clung to him the
moment she heard of his plans to become king,” I said and he shook
his head.
“She wouldn’t, you know she loves you and w-”

“Your daughter is dead, seize him, when I have use for him I’ll let you
know, I he tries to struggle kill him on the spot,” I said to the guards
and walked away from the throne room, I could hear Balens angry
voice cursing out at me, hoping I would never find Freda and that my
days would be filled with sadness, I didn’t indulge him as I walked
away with Elara by my side.
“What now?” She asked me and I sighed, I needed to find Williams,
but I had no idea where he was.
“Get me, Christie,” I said to one of the guards who ran to get her,
when she came there were tears in her eyes and I knew she was

grateful to see me.
“Did you find her?” She asked and I shook my head and I saw her
happiness leave her eyes for a brief second before it came back.
“Well you’d find her then,” she said and I nodded.
“I need to know where Williams is,” I said and she explained
everything to me, what had been happening and all the things she’d
been hearing and my father being killed, I didn’t even bother with
that until I heard something about the human world.
“He’s going to kidnap Freda from her mother’s, I don’t know how he
found that out but I’m guessing it’s Verestina who told him”
“Do you know where this mother’s house is?” I asked and she shook
her head.
“You should go to her father’s kingdom right away, he would know,”
Elara said and I nodded, she was right, only he would know.
