My Personal Lycan King - Chapter 147

Chapter-62

VICTORIA’S POV​​

I looked at the guards that were bowing in front of me before smiling at them.

“Please stand up. Your love is all I need. You don’t have to bow to me like that,” I said, and they immediately went back into their previous guarding positions. We waited for some to open the gates for us, and it wasn’t long before we heard footsteps.

A man clad in a grey colour suit came 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 time. It was after such a long time someone had surprised me like this. I thought. All the stress from earlier, dissolving into thin air.

“Neptune, see. These are so beautiful!” I exclaimed, 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 me 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 came 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.

“Someone 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 home with me?” Ashton said, and it confused me a little.

What future home? My home was in pearly Canines where Alexander was waiting for me. Is he talking about this being my temporary home because I was going to live here for 45 days?

I was about to ask him what did he meant by that, but the sound of large cheering stopped me dead in my tracks.

Turning around, I looked at the large crowd that had formed in front of the mansion just in few minutes.

The cheering increased by multiple times 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 same thing.” Neptune scoffed.

“Well, Daniel, she is indeed my queen. However, I am not announcing it. I know that she is Victoria and has come 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 formed two years ago when the war with Robert had come 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 mean Emerald-

I stopped the trail of my thoughts, not wanting it to become true. I can’t handle more drama right now.

‘I won’t come out. Don’t worry. I know that these are my people and that they are dying to meet me and see who their queen is, but I won’t come out and add more pressure to you. I know it has been hard on you, and things have been becoming more trouble some since I appeared.’ I heard Emerald’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 me.

Sighing loudly, I made up my mind before scooting closer to Ashton, making both of them stop as they looked at me, waiting to know what I wanted to say to Ashton.

“Welcome your Queen!” I said in a bold and loud voice, and Neptune’s and Ashton’s eyes immediately turned wide.

The crowd’s cheering became wilder, and I smiled at them before tugging Ashton’s hand, who looked like he was still in some kind of daze.

“Let’s go,” I said, making him nod his head as the three of us entered the mansion.

“Sometimes it’s hard for me to understand what is going through your head, seriously,” Neptune said before plopping on the couch in the living room.

“I did it for Emerald. Besides, there is something 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 mentioned in the elementary books of the witch’s schools. You know what that means, right? It means that the place you mentioned is only fantasy.” Neptune said before pulling me closer to himself and making me 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 me 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 time. It was my powers who told me this. I don’t know what does it mean, 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 me towards the dining table, making Daniel smile at his childish attitude.

Who will call him a king of Vampires with such childish behavior?
