Kapitel 20: LIGHTNING

"Vreihya! Stay there! I said you couldn't meddle!" uncle yelled as I tried to interrupt the duel again. "But he's bleeding uncle!" I exclaimed firmly, while mother clutched my hand. "Vreihya! That's how the battle works, you can be harmed whether you want to or not," mum promptly explained.

I noticed how shocked and pale Mino appeared as a result of his constantly bleeding arm. The dagger embedded in Mino's arm dissolved at Calix's signal, leaving a gaping wound. Oh God! His blood! What happened when they got a whiff of it? But I was deeply grateful since I couldn't smell it.

Mino quickly applied pressure to his gushing wound. "That's just a scratch! Don't act like you're going to die!" exclaimed the haughty prince of the snow. Damn! He's annoying me. When I saw the other kings and queens watching, my head flared up even more because of their evil grins.

"Dear princess, where did you manage to find this man? It is evident from his demeanor that he is not used to fighting!" Calix immediately grinned at what he had said. With his gesture, an ice statue appeared beside him. The statue looks a lot like Mino. "I won't even sweat! This is how your fate will be," Calix said as he touched the ice statue he had formed, which quickly cracked and shattered, leaving it strewn across the floor.

Mino appeared to be trembling and gasping for breath. Entrante! He can't possibly win! He might not live long if another wound is inflicted on him. "If it's just a scratch, why are you so delighted? Is this the only thing you can do to be entirely happy right away?" I was taken aback by Mino's remark, which Calix appeared to be furious over.

I noticed how the snow prince's eyes turned scarlet as an indication of his displeasure. Uncle shook his head after hearing what Mino said. "Both of you have sharp tongues!" he said, as if to mock me.

"Shut up! You just came from nowhere! Respect me!" Calix yelled loudly, and after a while he unleashed sharp ice and tossed it in the direction of Mino, who dodged it with his speed but was not as agile as before due to his wound.

In our world, when we are wounded by our fellow vampires, the wound does not heal immediately, and Mino is equivalent to us in this regard.

Mino lacks magical abilities, thus how can he attack? He can only dodge, and the fight will not end there. Calix appears to have grown tired of the sharp ice, so he created another ice dagger and dashed in Mino's direction, launching an attack that Mino easily avoided.

Mino's pained expression drew my attention. And as he dodged again, Calix instantly grabbed his wound and froze it without hesitation. "AHHH!" Mino exclaimed loudly in agony and shock, and he shoved Calix with all his force, causing him to be flown away and struck one of the rows of seats.

Mino appears to be considerably paler as a result of the freezing wound on his arm. Entrante! My chest could no longer handle the intense nervousness I was experiencing as a result of what I was witnessing. Calix was far more skilled at fighting and knew how to use his power, so I knew Mino couldn't win this duel.

Calix immediately rose from his wreckage and smiled again as he saw Mino's suffering due to his frozen wound.

He would not waste another opportunity, and he intended to attack once more. I just want to close my eyes because I'm worried that he'll kill Mino. My legs appeared to want to run so that I could be the one to fight since I was stronger.

Calix approach Mino, who couldn't move, and immediately aimed his dagger, but we were both dazzled when a light appeared on Mino's chest and quickly swelled and radiated all around.

Because of the light, I instantly closed my eyes, and all I heard was a loud crash, like someone had been tossed. The light suddenly vanished, and I immediately opened my eyes to see what was going on, and my eyes widened.

I noticed how lightning began covering both of Minos' hands and I felt a shudder as I noticed his eyes had turned blue, something seemed to be bursting out of his body.

"What type of creature are you?" queen Marayca exclaimed, and the rest of us who saw Mino's appearance now were both frightened and shocked. Even Calix, who stumbled back into the rows of seats, was taken aback.

Lightning? That was strange! There has never been lightning magic in our history. Is this the moon Goddess's power? I couldn't help but be surprised as the ice gradually vanished from his wound, replaced by tiny electric currents that seemed to heal it.

God! You're always shocking me! "Why do you have such magic!" Calix yelled, struggling to get up off the ground. "Cheaters! Where did you get such a creature?" screamed king Ozyrus of Berbantes, loudly and angrily. "Be careful, son!" Calix's mother groaned, her voice filled with fear.

But Mino seemed deaf as he didn't care about the fuss around him and his stare was sharped fix to Calix. I am now more concerned about Calix's life. I have a bad feeling about this.

I was in such a state of mind when Mino appeared in front of Calix in the blink of an eye, rapidly grabbing his garments and throwing Calix as if he were a lifeless object. Calix quickly fell to the ground and rolled.

It wasn't over yet, and Mino vanished. Lightning struck the ground beside Calix, and Mino appeared, choked him, and lifted him off the floor. I felt horrified by Mino's action since he does not appear to be the Mino I know. Calix fought swiftly against Mino's strangling, yet he was unshaken.

Mino was about to make another move when the lightning in his body vanished and his eyes reverted to normal. He appears to have abruptly come to his wits and lost his power.

Calix took advantage of this right away and kicked Mino in the stomach with all his force, which Mino quickly endured. Calix fired a tremendous hit on Mino's face without delay, and I immediately witnessed Mino's abrupt collapse and loss of consciousness.

Entrante! This can't be! He lost consciousness and that meant Calix was the winner. As blood ran from his nose, I could clearly see his unconscious body. But I was even more frightened, mother and uncle got up in their seats as they realized what had happened.

We could smell Mino's scent. "A mortal scent!" queen Marayca exclaimed as released her fangs. "A mortal! That man is a mortal!" queen Elena yelled swiftly, and I saw how they looked like maniacs, thrusting out their fangs and sharp claws while their eyes were red.

"Her mate is a mortal!" exclaimed King Zakarias. "Kill the mortal!" yelled King Arthur, and Calix appeared starting to be insane by his scent, his fangs protruding as though ready to devour the unconscious body in front of him.

This can't be!

They will certainly kill my mate!

Kapitel 21: ENCHANTED

BACK TO REALITY

I had no idea how I was going to stop his hands from trembling. This was something I expected to happen. I knew he'd be like this when we got back. He was seated and leaning in our palace's bricked wall, suppressing his trembling. I know he's terrified, but being the man that he is, I'm sure he didn't want to reveal how scared he is.

"Mi... Mino," I said softly, approaching his seat. "Please! I am done!" he replied bitterly, his hands quivering while he is hiding it behind his back. I know he's like that because he couldn't handle what occurred previously.

"I'm tired... What else do you want from me?" his sarcastic query to me. I'm at a loss for words since what occurred before will happen again and again as long as he stay in our world.

"Kill me already!" he muttered harshly, looking up at me. I only see anguish, regret, anger, and misery. I just stared at him because there was nothing I could do to make him feel better after what had happened earlier.

I noticed the nearly healed wound on his shoulder. He had been topless since the duel earlier.

We've returned to the forest, where I'd built my own castle. We must conceal ourselves because Mino's identity is no longer a secret. I know he's scared but I'm afraid for my own safety and the safety of my kingdom.

When the other kingdoms were about to attack the unconscious Mino, Uncle used his power to create a large and powerful whirlwind that wrecked the duel's venue. As a result, kings and queens, including Calix, were blown away to distant places. Fortunately, I had built a dome of enormous vines around my mother and Mino to keep them from being swept away.

Mother promptly used her power to create a water portal after that catastrophic tornado so we could get to this castle for shelter as soon as possible. But it wasn't over yet because I was aware of the impending chaos, but most importantly, I was concerned about the mortal who I knew was bewildered and afraid.

He began to tremble in fear, and all I can think about is guilt, but we shouldn't revolve our entire lives here. I have to accept, whether I like it or not, that we both need each other. I need him to live, and he needs me to protect him from our foes.

I dashed away from him, grabbed an upper garment, and returned to his spot. He slumped against the wall, his eyes closed, as if drained.

"Here," I gently offered him the garment, and he opened his eyes, barely picking it up and putting it on. I couldn't stop staring at him when he wore it. He may appear tired, but he is still stunning. I don't know what's wrong with me right now but I want to tell him something.

"I am truly sorry!" I said, sounding like a conquered warrior, and he glanced at me as though he didn't expect my apologies. "Believe me when I say I had no desire to bring you here in the first place," I explained as I sat down in front of him slowly. I'm not sure why, but I can't read his expression.

"All I want is a normal life like you Mino, neither of us wanted to get involved in each other's lives," I spoke gently to him, not knowing what force was pulling me to hold his hands lightly. I could feel the shock in his body, but he let me touch him since he was probably too tired to fight.

"If there's one thing I'm going to change about what's going on, it's when you're linked with me for whatever reason," I added, he begun looking at me intently as if he was wondering why I was saying that.

"I don't like you or your kind, but that's no reason for me to allow you to be harmed!" I choked on what I was saying because I knew I could only keep him and aim to protect him because when he dies, I will also die, but it's not necessary for him to know.

I need to gain his trust now and convince him that I would not abandon him. "I vow to protect you and keep you safe," I made a solemn commitment to him since all I need is his cooperation because I don't want him to die or allow himself to commit suicide. I need him to survive so I can too, literally.

"Then just take me home!" he said coldly after violently removing my hold on his hand. "I can't, Mino, because they'll find you and your family," I replied quickly, and he gave me a bitter grin.

"Do you think I'll be grateful for your pledge to protect me? It's your fault I'm here, so it's your responsibility!" he reasoned. It appears that I am the one who must lower my head to appease him. But I couldn't do anything because it was the truth. It is I who must be humble.

I'm not in the mood anymore, I stood up abruptly in my seat because I was throwing a fit again. "Come!" I yelled angrily, stretching out my hands to ask him to stand, but he cocked an eyebrow at me. I rolled my eyes and didn't hesitate to use my strength to pull him upright and drag him out of the palace as quickly as I could.

"Fuck! You done it again!" he said, clutching his stomach and placing one palm in his mouth, as if puking. Only in this way can I truly exact my vengeance on him. "Don't act like a baby, Mino!" I glance at him, but I can tell he's woozy. While still in that position, he glared at me fiercely. We were standing on the vast lawn outside the palace.

"If you're mad, let's fight!" I declare proudly. He immediately straightened up and raised an eyebrow at me. He's still attractive when he lifts his eyebrows but it's also annoying. I was expecting him to refuse, but it appears that he was also preparing himself.

"Bring it on! I've been wanting to fight with you for a long time!" he says boldly as he steps back to ready for the fight that will follow. When he turned to face me again, I smirked. I desire I could wrestle with this man as well. I waved my hand, and massive roots sprouted from the ground on my both sides. "Na ah, princess! No one will use magic!" he exclaimed.

Fine! No worries. I silently waved my hands again, and the big veins returned to their prior place. If he wants to fight hand to hand, it's ok. He clenched his fists as though ready. And with his speed, he traveled our gap, and I clearly saw him aim for my face, but I simply stepped to the right and evaded his strike. Entrante! Is he furious with my beautiful face?

"That's sloppy!" I muttered to him, but he quickly struck one of his fists closer to me, and I avoided him once more. I grabbed his collar and flung him aggressively, and I immediately saw him forcedly flew away and crash into a huge tree. But he stood confidently, extended his hand, and signaled to it as if he were daring me to take the lead.

I smirked and dashed in front of him, noticing his shock. I didn't make a move, and now he's punching me left and right, which I avoided casually.

I'm not sure why, but while I evaded his punches, I couldn't help but stare into his eyes. I just stared as I continued to back away, avoiding him as he approached, hoping to beat me harder.

Why are you still this mesmerizing? I stared at his lips and his sharp eyes, which were staring at me as he tried to hit me. Those eyes! They're enticing! Why, in this instance, do I seem to adore his eyes?

I stared even more when his eyes began to glow in the color that was definitely becoming my favorite. He surprised me by aiming for my face. Entrante! I'm going to get hit! However, I swiftly caught his fist in front of my face.

I quickly lowered my hand while still holding his fist. I sense his fury, but all I want to see are his enticing eyes. I could stare at those all day! He kept staring at me, but I'm not sure why my lips parted while meeting his gaze. Mino, those blue and glowing eyes, I swear I can see the moonlight in your eyes. They are captivating! I admire you for having such enticing eyes.

I'm not sure what happened, but I found myself rushing towards him and pressing my lips against his while feeling his body stiffen. So this is what it's like to be enchanted, bewitched, and charmed!

"If you can't have him through force and persuading, just make him fall for you," uncle's words suddenly flashed into my mind, which I decided to ignore because I had no intention of doing so, but I believe it's time for me to use my charm. My life is at stake!
