《Loved By A Vampire King》Chapter 9 - Athena Richards
Advertisement
In a blink of an eye, the woman grabbed the pleading man's neck and began dragging him away from Ethan.
The man wailed in dismay for his life as he strived to get free from her grip but there was no way out.
" Don't... Don't..
Don't let me..take..away.. please..
young man..please..save me..Please
She will kill me.. aahhh..save me.."
Ethan remained quiet for a few seconds and contemplated her dragging away the man mercilessly towards the bridge. He found no trace of tenderness in those eyes even a bit rather the expression in her countenance could only be marked as a craving of thirst.
Then suddenly his white magic power was activated and this time he confidently obstructed her path again in a rush.
The woman angrily hurled a death glare at him. From his utterances and his proficiency to recognize her true identity almost very quickly, she inferred at first that this man was not an average human yet there was no personal animosity between them.
Why is he trying to stop me and making out fuss over a bastard?
Athena glared at him disdainfully!!
She used to wander often in the human world. As for granting permission, she was the princess of the vampire clan, Athena Richards. She didn't require to follow the regular rules and regulations which were required for the other typical vampires.
First of all, Who will try to stop her?
It wasn't like that she was just slaying an innocent man. Every once in a month, she came to the human world to quench her thirst for drinking blood.
In the past, she really used to slay innocent people.
But later she discovered various dirty men who always aimed to make use of young girls and forcefully took their virginity discovering them vulnerable. Since then, she concluded that there was no amusement in slaying innocent people. If she could exterminate some of these bastards, it would save at least a lot of young girls' life.
Today wasn't any exception!
Look at this bastard man!

A while ago, he was forcing himself on a young girl inside a bar house after finding her a little drunk. The girl was completely unwilling still he attempted to rape her several times and wickedly touched her body.
Luckily, Athena was present there and instantly targeted him as her monthly feast.
Speechlessly, she glanced at the man's acting face. He made so pitiful face even God himself couldn't help but feel kindness for him.
Athena coldly ordered him throwing a glance at the man inside her grip,
" Listen, boy, I have no grudge against you. Get away from my path right now. Don't get deceived by his innocent face. He is a real bastard."
Watching the last hope of his life, the frightened man again howled more loudly than before shedding his tears profusely. Ethan gazed at his pitiful face and felt sad for him.
Watching him shedding tears, he already assumed in his mind that this man was innocent and Athena was only trying to slay him to assuage her thirst for blood.
Above all, vampires were known for being emotionless and violent when they hankered for blood.
As a holly creature and prince of the fairy world, he could never let anything injustice in front of his eyes and instead decided to believe the human.
Thus he sternly replied,
" Leave this man alone. You can go to search inside a forest to hunt down an animal.
Why are you killing innocent people?
As long as I'm here, you can't take him away."
Ethan was a man of his words. After warning her to stop, he firmly stood there on her way having no intention to back out.
Athena became so indignant for this unnecessary trouble coming from nowhere all of sudden.
Her eyes turned bloodshot as she sneered,
" You are asking for death."
Instantly her grip loosened from the man's throat and charged herself towards Ethan in the speed of light. Her hidden fangs came outside and she was in the mood of slaughtering Ethan even thought of drinking his blood instead.

Though the man was freed away from her grip, he became motionless in dismay so much that he even forgot to escape for the time being.
As soon as Athena aimed to grab Ethan's throat growling angrily, Ethan made an u-turn and hardly pushed her behind turning on his power of white magic.
Athena halted for a moment for his action before grimacing hard and surged to attack him again. The hanging bridge over the TY river trembled by their actions while the man watched the scene standing in front of them in terror.
He couldn't figure out that who was attacking who!
It was like a rolling stone in front of his vision. The two people were rushing here from there over the whole bridge at most at the speed of light. It was hard to figure out that who was on the verge of winning.
At the very last moment, Athena could realize that her power was not enough in front of this young man as he continued defeating her attack. Hardly she clenched his throat and opened her mouth to jag her vampire bite on his throat.
With a swing, Ethan shoved her down on the ground hovering over her and tightly gripped her wrists as his muscled robust body completely deterred her from getting up.
He threw her a triumphant gaze and inquired coldly,
" You see, you can't win against me. Let the man go or else this fight will end only after pulling out your sweet fangs."
Before she could give her a reply, both of them looked at the way and noticed that man was already gone.
Athena cursed loudly before giving him another good kick.
VAMPIRE WORLD,
MOONSHINE CASTLE,
Since then Aaron went on the terrace, Esme heard no sound from there and she remained on her bed quietly. She tossed around on the bed for quite some time but couldn't sleep at all as her mind was restless.
She was sure that her parents were already in depression because of her sudden disappearance. They had no way to search for her here even perhaps they didn't have any slightest idea about this kind of parallel world that exists.
Her only light of hope was that his second brother would cleverly see through the matter and definitely will try to search for her in this parallel world too.
His second brother was absolutely right!
In this world, only the weak agonize the most.
Glancing away outside of their room, she noticed that the moon was still up and the luminous moonlight was profusely entering inside the room.
She had to find a way to go back to her human world!
Heaving herself from the giant bed, she thought about drinking a glass of water but unfortunately, it was away from her to reach.
She took a glimpse of her bandaged feet and helplessly sighed. Subconsciously her gaze looked away towards the terrace with a slight hope but no sound was coming out from there.
Argh! How can she imagine that King Aaron would personally serve her water!
It was already fortunate enough for her that she was still alive and didn't lose any blood.
Slowly, she got up from the bed and attempted to walk away towards the wooden table where seemed to had a water jug.
Very hardly, she took a few paces in stumbling manner. Unluckily she didn't notice that her nightgown got stuck in a corner of the furniture and almost fell down with a vociferous scream.
Before she could watch out, her body was embraced in a warm hug along with a sheer scolding,
" Are you idiot enough to move out from the bed with your damned feet?"
Esme slightly heaved her gaze and discovered his burning gaze at her. Giving her no chance to explain, the next moment he casually scooped her body up in his arms before moving towards the bed again.
Esme cursed herself for making so much commotion all of a sudden!
This man was always so clingy to touch her body!

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.
