Chapter-62
VICTORIA’S POV
I looked at the guards that were bowing in front of before smiling at them.
“Please stand up. Your love is all I need. You don’t have to bow to like that,” I said, and they imdiately went back into their previous guarding positions. We waited for so to open the gates for us, and it wasn’t long before we heard footsteps.
A man clad in a grey colour suit ca from behind us and clapped his hands twice in the air.
I was waiting for the gate to open on his claps, but the doors didn't open, rather there was a small bag of rose petals on top of us, and it was released, making the petals fall on our heads.
Giggling at the sight as the petals were falling, I swirled under them, feeling happy after such a long ti. It was after such a long ti soone had surprised like this. I thought. All the stress from earlier, dissolving into thin air.
"Neptune, see. These are so beautiful!" I exclaid, playing with them as I tried to catch them.
"What is so good about this? I am sure he has deliberately prepared all of this to woo you. And it looks like it's working." Daniel said before he raised his hand in the air, and snowflakes started to fall from the sky.
It was beautiful. It made feel special. I don't know why, but it was strangely comforting and calming. The snowflakes, landing on my skin were calming my stress, and the heat of my body was also in control because of that.
Taking out my tongue a little, I took a few snowflakes in my mouth, licking the coldness that ca with it.
"You know, my lips are more cold and tasty than them. Want to try?" Neptune said, and I looked at him flushed.
How can he say such things in broad daylight in front of so many people?
Catching a few more snowflakes and putting them in my mouth, I was about to reply to him for his flirtatious remark when the door of the mansion was opened.
"Soone is trying to ruin my surprise, ain’t he? What can I expect from the king of the dark witches? Always turning things dark from his presence." I heard Ashton's voice as he walked towards the door, and Daniel rolled his eyes at his remark.
"Hello, beautiful." He said, taking my palm in his hand before kissing the back of it.
"Hey, Ashton," I said, feeling a strange kind of giddiness in my stomach.
"Mind if I take your arm and lead you to your future ho with ?" Ashton said, and it confused a little.
What future ho? My ho was in pearly Canines where Alexander was waiting for . Is he talking about this being my temporary ho because I was going to live here for 45 days?
I was about to ask him what did he ant by that, but the sound of large cheering stopped dead in my tracks.
Turning around, I looked at the large crowd that had ford in front of the mansion just in few minutes.
The cheering increased by multiple tis as soon as Ashton held my hand and raised it in the air.
"Ashton, what are you doing? She isn't ready for this," Neptune was the one to interrupt.
"I am just introducing her, Neptune. You are making it look like I am making her the queen." Ashton said.
"Well, you raising her hand like this in front of your crowd and telling them beforehand that she is queen is the sa thing." Neptune scoffed.
"Well, Daniel, she is indeed my queen. However, I am not announcing it. I know that she is Victoria and has co here to live temporarily because of the training and Christopher thing." Ashton said.
In between their banter as to what was happening, I looked at the crowd, which was similar to the one that had ford two years ago when the war with Robert had co to an end, and Carla had made her presence known.
Wait, Carla had made her presence known to her crowd when she saw that everyone was appraising her. Does that an Erald-
I stopped the trail of my thoughts, not wanting it to beco true. I can't handle more drama right now.
'I won't co out. Don't worry. I know that these are my people and that they are dying to et and see who their queen is, but I won't co out and add more pressure to you. I know it has been hard on you, and things have been becoming more trouble so since I appeared.' I heard Erald's soft voice inside my head, and I don't know why, but now that she was talking like this, I felt a little bit guilty.
Carla and Jasmine both had their share to take over my body, but she was the only one who not even once tried to take over my body and make things difficult for .
Sighing loudly, I made up my mind before scooting closer to Ashton, making both of them stop as they looked at , waiting to know what I wanted to say to Ashton.
"Welco your Queen!" I said in a bold and loud voice, and Neptune's and Ashton's eyes imdiately turned wide.
The crowd's cheering beca wilder, and I smiled at them before tugging Ashton's hand, who looked like he was still in so kind of daze.
"Let's go," I said, making him nod his head as the three of us entered the mansion.
"Sotis it's hard for to understand what is going through your head, seriously," Neptune said before plopping on the couch in the living room.
"I did it for Erald. Besides, there is sothing I want to tell you, Daniel. While I was unconscious in the car, I got another hint about that water thing."
"You were unconscious in the car?"
"Water hint?"
Both of them said simultaneously, and Neptune looked at Ashton before shaking his head.
"Victoria, I know that this water dream experience of yours was a hope for all of us to find the truth and find the correct solutions to our problems, but I had a little chat with a witch. And she said that the lines that you said and the scene that you saw are ntioned in the elentary books of the witch’s schools. You know what that ans, right? It ans that the place you ntioned is only fantasy." Neptune said before pulling closer to himself and making sit on his lap.
"And as much as I hate to break your heart, that's the truth. We will have to follow our previous plan only." Daniel said, and Ashton who didn't have any idea about what was going on just grumbled loudly seeing on Daniel's lap even in his kingdom.
"Just listen to it first, okay?
'The crystal red, purple or blue, lies in the deepest of the water that has a lot of dew. The water is powerful and the more powerful are you. Pure or not, the soul that is cursed with the beauty of the rose won't dare to go too close.' I didn't see anything this ti. It was my powers who told this. I don't know what does it an, but I want you to look into it." I said.
"Okay, enough with this crystal and powers and water thing that I don't understand. Let's have brunch first. I know you must be hungry after such a long ride, aren't you?" Ashton asked, and I nodded my head making him smile.
"What are we waiting for then? Let's go!" Ashton said, taking my hand in his before pulling towards the dining table, making Daniel smile at his childish attitude.
Who will call him a king of Vampires with such childish behavior?
