Candela

“Liam, as ahead of the knights, you are supposed to be a role model for them. But what I’m seeing now?” His tone of voice was pressed with intimidation. Full of authority as if he reminded them that he is the prince. Superior to them and they were the lower class.

She pities Liam a little about what’s happening between the three. He couldn’t even get a chance to explain and defend himself. And that’s what makes her irritated. She’s fucking mad at the arrogance of the jerk prince who’s standing in front of them.

“Go back to your post and I’m warning you, Liam… don’t make this happen again. Or else…” Blade looked at her. “… I’ll fire you to that position you have,” he threatened so, Liam immediately take his steps away from them.

Candela took a deep breath. It was her turn now. “Seriously, flirting with the head of the knights, Candela?” It’s like a bombshell dropped in front of her. Was he has said flirting?Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Candela wrings the cloth she was using for wiping the floor. She came back from the reverie and still, she couldn’t move on. She’s totally irritated and continues to despise Blade for doing this to her.

Well, after that scene yesterday, she just brought here… on the fourth floor of the palace. Instead of being happy because finally, she stepped up to the higher floor but she couldn’t feel happiness. All thanks to Blade who makes her day miserable. Fucking miserable, big time!

She’s been cleaning the whole fourth floor. According to Lord Blade, that was her punishment for flirting inside the castle. Flirting?

“Flirting my ass, bullshit!” She throws the cloth into the basin and her head burn even more when the dirty water splattered on her face. Making her face and uniform dirty and looks like a rug.

Her day is totally a disaster plus, Primo is expecting her to be in the ball this coming night. Coming into that ball with her tired body? Oh, spare her.

And the plan she had planned since she heard the announcement about the ball, she wasn’t sure if she could do it this night. Blade really drained her and this, what’s happening to her? She thinks it’s enough for the punishment but since Lord Blade didn’t say that she can stop, she can’t.

Well, how could he thinks about this punishment given to her when he was busy with that Curly.

Unknown emotion ripped her heart. Giving her a sting of pain. Pain? And why the hell has she’s felt hurt?

“If only I could cut your head, then I gladly will. If only I could stab you to death then I will do without hesitation. You dumbass and heartless prince. You’re heartless for doing this to me, Blade the Monster!”

“Really huh?” Candela jumped out and instantly covered her mouth when she saw the lord she’s cursing to.

Standing high and tall. Smiling wide at her, none other than but the prince who’s making her head burn. Cutting her string of patience.

“Did you just called me, Monster?” she wasn’t able to answer.

“And did you just planned of killing me, Candela?” Blade took threatening steps towards her. Candela started to gasp for some air as she stepping backward.

“Oh, what’s with the dithering now? Earlier, as I have heard, you’re strong enough to kill me. You even said that if you were given a chance to stab me to death, you’ll do it without hesitation? Was I heard it wrong?”

“Ah…” she smiled awkwardly. Her throat became dry and rough. She’s also stiffened on the floor. “That… that was just a joke, Lord Blade. I’m not talking it seriously… pardon me.”

“Pardon you? What you have said was a complete threat to be considered. To the fact, you can be fired if I would let the head maid know about your rude words. So, what are you going to do now, Miss Candela?”

She wants to punch Blade for taking her words against her. But, as far as she wants to knock him down, she couldn’t. She just couldn’t because it was her plan who will be destroyed if she gets fired. So, with a hard rock on her heart, she pulled down her pride again.

She kneeled in front of him. That’s all she can do to protect and prevent her plans. It wasn’t new to her. In fact, she already did this before when she first met Primo. Because of the worry of getting fired, she kneeled with her bended knees in front of the child. She just wishes that what she did this time is going to take by Blade.

“What the hell you’re doing, Rabbit?” Here they are again, on that sobriquet given by him. Rabbit… because for Lord Blade, she’s just like a rabbit. Well, in fact, she’s a wolf who ate rabbits and weak animals.

“Stand up, Rabbit!” he commanded but she didn’t respond. “Fuck! Do you really need to bend down your knees in front of me?!”

“I need to do this-”

“No, you didn’t so, I’m telling you, stand up!”

“Unless you forgive me and promise me that you won’t be going to tell the head maid of how rude I am.”

“So, you’re having a proposal? Stand up, Rabbit!”

“No!” she answered back. “I’m going to be in this way until you didn’t forgive me. Please…”

Can someone fuck her ‘please’?

“Please what?!” Lord Blade is started to get irritated.

“Please forgive my manners, Lord Blade.”

“Fine!” She smiled, a smile away from the eyes of Blade as she bowed to him. “Stand up, Rabbit. I’m not going to tell her just stand up!”

So she stands up. Pain is what she felt as soon as she stood up. Her knees hurt and when she looked down on them, bruises are what she can see.

“See what happened? I told you to stand up but you didn’t,” as what she can hear, Lord Blade’s scolding her and she can’t stop her lips but to form a smile. But that smile quickly faded and was replaced by her ‘O’ shape mouth when she felt a strong arm snaked around her waist. Lifting her body out of the floor.

“L-lord Blade–”

“Stop your mouth, Rabbit.” Candela can’t explain her feelings at the moment she felt her body pressed and caged into Lord Blade’s masculine and well-chiseled arms.

“What if someone sees us? I–in this k–kind of position?” damned her, she stuttered. “Bring me d–down–”

“I said… shut up. Shut your mouth for a while, will you? Do you think I care if someone sees us? And do you really think that there’s someone that will be here? See it for yourself, Rabbit… the two of us are only here.”

“I–I’m just being concern–”

“Shut it! We’re here.” She didn’t notice it. Yeah, she really didn’t see that they’re already in front of an enormous door and they entered inside.

Cream and black painted walls, as well as the pieces of furniture, welcomed them. Manly perfume directly finds its way on her nostrils. And holy hell! That perfume… that perfume is what she smells while she’s inside Lord Blade’s arms.

“How about my room? Feel yourself, Rabbit…” Blade huskily said before gently laying her on the white bed.

“Why…. w–why I am here? Fuck! I need to go–”

It was too late for her to leave the bed as Lord Blade is already pinning her on the bed. Her body dipped to its softness as Blade was on her top. Almost touching her skin, almost feeling his lips on hers. Damn! This scene… this scene was so familiar…

And her throbbing heart. It’s palpitated harshly and it was him. It was only him who can do this to her. It was only Lord Blade who can make her heart goes thumped thumped like crazy. It was only him… only Blade can affect her like that.

Lord Blade smirked at her. “Remember this, Rabbit…” And there, her dream about Blade flashed back in her mind. That’s it… that’s why it’s so familiar to her because it was just like her dream. Their position right now was like their position on her dream that night.

“So, y–you mean to say that… Oh! holy heaven!” is all that she can say.

Lord Blade grinned evilly to her. “It wasn’t a dream, Rabbit. That night… it was real and that was the night when I marked you as mine.”

It was late for her to react. Late for her to do defenses and protect herself from the attack. It was too late… big time lately. As soon as she felt his fang dug on her neck, she felt her whole body went numb.

That night… that dream wasn’t a dream rather, it was fucking real!
