Love Agreement With The King - Chapter 328
Elijah nodded, he took a few steps back, when he saw his mother close her eyes he focused as well.
Roselyn attacked him with a wave of wind, which wasn’t too strong but only enough to push him back of few meters.
Elijah frowned his forehead, planting his foot on the ground to resist the wind. Then he charged and speeded toward his mother. He didn’t want to harm her so he only ran as fast as he could, running in circles around her.
Until a voice makes him halt and Roselyn turns around.
The voices came from one of the vampires that made fun of him and his father which looked at them whispering and giggling.
Roselyn frowned, glancing at them.
“The kid is the one who said I would be a disappointment for John,” Elijah whispered to his mother and Roselyn nodded, her gut feeling figuring that out.
“What’s so funny?” Roselyn asked, raising her eyebrow and looking at them with a challenging gaze.
“I had never seen a banshee train a vampire.” The father replied, gesturing at Elijah while he held back laughs.
How did he dare? Roselyn remained calm on the surface while in her imagination she was slapping that father on the face several times. Kids are indeed the mirror of their relatives, from such a bad person like him would bear only a cruel rude kid.
“I don’t think that’s your business,” Roselyn replied coldly holding his gaze.
“It is since our King is John and he is supposed to be the stronger vampire in Kratez. He isn’t if he gave life to a vampire who barely grows.” The man said clicking his tongue and glancing at Roselyn with a superior look.
Elijah dropped his gaze to the floor, probably sad for what he heard.
“I always knew vampires were awfully cruel and despicable but I never thought they would be this much. To insult a kid for something so silly like growth? Your life must be very boring if you spend your time doing so.” Roselyn narrowed her eyes taking one step forward unfearing of that person. She was ready to fight him if she had to, anger was blinding her and although she tried to control herself she couldn’t stop hearing the sound of their laughs echoing in her mind.
“Hold your tongue dear, or the only boring life will be John’s life after I killed both of you.”
Elijah groaned, he took one step back, and before Roselyn could stop him he speeded to push the man as strongly as he could but he only bounce back falling on the ground.
“Elijah!” Roselyn screamed. Elijah stood up and wiped off the soil on his trousers then he speed back near Roselyn. The man and his son laughed loudly.
“You’re a very slow little boy, isn’t John training you?” The man continued but Elijah shook his head, not because he didn’t want to hear him but because he wanted to drive away from the negative thoughts in his head.
The ground shook, the tree’s branches waved when John appeared in front of his wife and his son.
He groaned loudly and knitted his eyebrows down as he gazed at the man who dared to threaten his wife and his son’s life.
John’s red eyes were sparkling and glowering like they never did.
Silence fell in the room, the kid who was laughed at before now was deadly scared gazing at John, he unconsciously took a step back. However his father didn’t see much scared of John, indeed he smirked.
“Here he is.” He whispered.
“I hate when people dare to talk behind someone’s back. Why didn’t you come to tell that to me?” John arose his voice, Elijah smiled when John quickly traveled his gaze to them checking if they were alright.
“I will say it straight to your face then. I doubt you’re as strong as people think. Cause if you were Elijah would be double as strong as the other vampires.”
John groaned, hearing that silly man so obsessed about Elijah’s growth and even doubting John’s strength made him almost lose his nerves.
“Challenge me then,” John said, taking a step forward.
Roselyn dropped her jaw, opening her eyes widely and gazing at her husband in concern. Not because she doubted John’s skills or strength but because she knew he hadn’t been practicing in a long time and she didn’t want him to get harmed.
“I will. And If I win, I will take the command over Kratez and then kill your entire family.”
John nodded, he seemed confident in his skills, didn’t he remember that he hadn’t been practicing in a long time and that the man in front of him will probably be one of the strongest vampires there?
When John mentioned his name to accept Roselyn knitted her eyebrows, it sounded so familiar to her.
Until she remembered, the name was one of the people’s names who brought the chaos and destruction in Kratez when he moved to the village.
That man probably always hated John and always thought he wasn’t enough to rule Kratez not because as he claimed he wasn’t strong enough but because he wanted to bring back Kratez in the chaos it was before his return.
John probably took advantage of the situation to knock him out for good.
“But if I win…” John took the floor smirking, “and I will win, you have to stop annoying my son and you, your family, and your friends will have to leave Kratez forever. I don’t want people like you in my land.” John said.
He hesitated but then he took a step forward as well, letting John deduce he accepted the deal.
“One week.” He said.
After one second he speeded away so fast that they disappeared in a fraction of a second.
Roselyn pushed him flustered, “what have you done?!!” She exclaimed angrily.. “You haven’t been seriously practicing in three years!” Roselyn rested her hands on her head glowering at her husband.
