A melodious chant woke him up in that dark night, as the breeze carried with it the rhythm between the gaps. Intrigued he rose to find out who the owner of the beautiful voice was, slowly he walked up to the back garden.
A woman in a long dress dangling downwards seemed engrossed in picking flowers, revealing that the source of the singing came from her.
Ah...
The chant was stopped suddenly by a light screech, he immediately walked up to the woman and saw a beautiful face that was grimacing. His index finger was bleeding from a sharp thorn.
"Give me your hand" he asked.
The woman complied and blushed in embarrassment as her injured finger softly suctioned until the blood did not break.
"Other times be careful" he reminded.
"I want to decorate our room with beautiful flowers" said the woman.
"Catherine.. Did your room always be decorated with flowers?" tanyakanya.
"Mm, there are so many flowers in our yard. I pick it every day and put it on display in my room" he replied.
"All right, let me quote for you."
Catherine nodded with a smile, she was so happy to see her husband picking flowers for her. Although with a cold face and rarely smile but as a husband Reinner always gives a small attention that actually means to him.
"Catherine" call.
"Yes... "
"Can... You sing that song for me?"
"of course... "
Catherine took a deep breath and began to sing.
"If the sky shows its light, then it is time to be closed
Lock all the doors and windows otherwise he'll come
Without knocking breathe out on your neck
The wolf will howl
And you're asleep too"
"Why the lyrics seem to have hidden meaning" asked Reinner.
"It's a lullaby that my mom used to sing to me when I was a kid, before she would tell me a fairy tale"
"You want to tell me that story?"
"Sure!" catherine answered with pleasure.
"There is a little boy who always plays on the edge of the forest alone, he will catch fireflies or play chases with his shadow. One day, he played too far into the woods. He forgot his way home and got lost, in a state of fear he was saved by an old man. He was brought home to the old man's house who turned out to have children who were the same age as him, his fear was lost because he had friends to play with. But over time he was sad because he missed his parents, the old man also drove the child home.
How happy he was after returning home, but he was also sad because he had to part with his friend. Because he could not bear to see his son sad both his parents also gave gifts on his birthday, namely the old man and his friend will stay with him forever."
"That's a pretty interesting fairy tale" Reinner commented.
"Yes... "
"I'm done picking it up, let's go back to the room!" bring Reinner.
Catherine smiled and walked right beside Reinner.
* * *
In a room full of wood dust Reinner sat alone with his hands that did not stop carving, the door suddenly opened and saw Catherine coming inside with a glass of red liquid.
"What are you doing?" ask Catherine.
"Make a pirate statue"
"You like that kind of thing?"
"I used to collect it, with my sister we often fought over it" replied Reinner who suddenly remembered the past.
"Is she Anna?" ask Catherine curiously.
"Yes, Anna who some time ago his name is often mentioned because of various controversies"
"You guys seem very close"
"We are so close, so close we can not meet because if we meet will definitely fight"
"Hmm, his name is brother is like that. If close quarrel but if far miss each other" Catherine said with a smile.
Ah...
Erang Reinner suddenly rubbed his eyes.
"What's wrong?" ask Catherine worriedly.
"My eyes. seem to be dust inflows"
"Let me see!" catherine put her hands on Reinner's cheeks.
He looked carefully but found nothing but the reflection of his face, blowing Reinner's eyes so as not to sting anymore. But a few seconds later he realized Reinner's eyes were glued to him, he felt the warmth behind the gaze and something even more interesting.
Slowly Catherine let go of her hand but it was Reinner who touched from the waist to the back, stroking gently to pull her closer.
They looked at each other, smiled at each other and then approached each other. The heat starts to burn their hearts, causing heat that they release through their nose and mouth.
"Catherine." call Reinner in a soft voice.
"I love you. "he said without the slightest hesitation.
* * *
"Breinner! I hereby declare that you have officially become King, from this moment on all vampires will be loyal to you and obey your orders" the general of a higher-ups who finished putting the crown on his head.
Reinner proudly rose from his bow and turned to look at his people.
"Long live His Highness Reinner!" one of the vampires.
"Long live His Highness Reinner!" reply others with compact.
The official coronation party at the title, the music enliven the atmosphere with the best quality wine in each glass. There is also a red liquid that becomes a staple drink for those who are not strong to drink wine.
Reinner walked gallantly toward Catherine, with a slight bow of Reinner's outstretched hand which Catherine welcomed.
They went to the dance floor and started dancing with the others, on the happy day Catherine seemed to be more pleased with her blushing face.
"You must be very proud to hold the status of empress" whispered Reinner.
"Of course, my husband earned an honor that any noble would find difficult to obtain"
"Is that so? so if I'm just an ordinary vampire then you're not satisfied?"
"Unlike that, there's something else that makes me so happy"
"What's that?" ask Reinner.
"From the first time I met I thought I was going to marry a cold, rude man, but after your return from the field of battle it turns out that you're very nosy and good at flirting"
"Hey! I just did that to my wife"
"I know, that's why I'm so happy. In the future even though you will be busy with royal affairs keep acting like this to me, I will also be a obedient wife for you"
"really? what'sthat?"
"My queen, as King I command you to give me offspring"
"If I don't want to?" moda Catherine's.
"Then I'll take a year off to bring you home, at your mother's house every day we'll try to keep it working"
"Rey!" call Catherine while pinching her waist.
They laughed and enjoyed the rest of the party in peace.
* * *
Reinner woke up from his sleep and found his breakfast ready on the table, the day when his body was unwell Catherine deliberately prepared breakfast in the room so that Reinner could rest.
"Good morning, Your Majesty" said Catherine.
"Bagi"
"Your breakfast is ready, Your Majesty should eat quickly before everything gets cold"
"What about my queen?"
"I'll have breakfast after you finish eating"
"Where can that be!" reinner said as he pulled Catherine's hand until she sat down beside him.
"You should have breakfast too, so let's eat together."
Reinner began scooping the soup, blowing it several times and giving the first feed to Catherine. With Catherine willing to eat it, they took turns to feed each other until the food was finished.
"Rei... For a long time we have not visited your family, are they in good health?" ask Catherine.
"Ah you're right, the last time we visited was Hans' birthday party"
"When are you going to visit again?"
"I'm still busy with business in the palace, maybe after some of my business is done. Why?"
"No, I'm just tired of being in the palace all the time. But it is very inappropriate if we travel in this chaotic situation"
"Patience to my wife, I will surely take you for a walk out of the palace" Reinner promised.
Byurs....
Arrhhhh.
"Wake up!" yelled someone at him.
Srek
The chains tied in his hands were carried along as he held his dizzy head, faintly seeing a person with a large body full of muscles still holding a bucket standing right in front of him.
"It! finish your food!" he shouted while kicking a dish containing bread and soup that had been spilled.
He quickly took the bread and ate it with a large mouthful, though it tasted bad and was hard enough but better than dying of hunger.
As a cover she gulped soup that only a few drops remained.
Hahaha Hahaha Hahaha
"Who can count? The king of the vampires was so dirty and smelled of sipping soup to lick the dish because it could not stand hunger" the man pointed.
If he was Reinner, he could have been sure that he would rise up to attack those who had insulted him, but now he was just a peerless slave whose life meant nothing more than insects.
The long breath, recalling the beautiful memories that had been flowers in his dream. He mourned, lamenting the terrible fate of his life.
He tried to think where the mistake he made ended up horribly like this, but he did not get the answer.
Reinner closed his eyes again, wanting to sleep again because only then could he feel happy by dreaming of his beloved wife.
It was not easy for Reinner to get to the throne, he had to fight the custom that had lasted thousands of years. Some time he wanted to give up but the shadow of Anna gave him the spirit back, Anna has sacrificed a lot for peace because that is now her duty to keep the peace.
Until he finally succeeded to the throne of the King, apparently there are still a few people who are not happy about it. Especially the higher-ups who incidentally the elders with his colossal thoughts, they often make Reinner overwhelmed to fall ill.
But that is not how much it compares to the slander that made him end up in that place, a dark room with chained hands and feet.
What he doesn't understand is why he's still given life? though it is clear if someone wants to overthrow him from the throne why bother to lock him up and give him life after he is no longer a nobody.
"Grand-mom!" call that person nervous.
His brazen attitude suddenly turned obedient as a man walked into the room, helplessly Reinner stared slowly.
"Has he been fed?" ask the man.
"Su-already sir"
"Good" he replied.
He squatted down and looked at Reinner's face even closer, as if confirming that Reinner was the right person.
"Who are you, " asked Reinner quietly.
"You don't need to know who I am, just assume I'm your angel who will save your life but be ready to take your life at the same time" he replied.
"Make sure he always gets his food, don't hurt him too much I don't want him to be disabled" he told the guard.
"Okay sir, I understand"
The man patted the guard on the shoulder and started to leave, but Reinner tried with his strength to stop him, even with a no-toner scream.
"Wait on! tell me what you want? why are you keeping me in this way? I have no family or throne"
Hehehe hahaha hahaha hahah
The man's laughter boomed in the cramped room, echoing in every interpreter and quite deafening.
"I'm not interested in your throne, but! I'm interested in your family. Don't you still have a sister? a girl who had stirred because of her royal blood, if you want to tell me where she is then I will give you a gift" said the man.
"You mean... Are you looking for Anna?" ask Reinner.
"Sure! who again? I was only interested in him, more precisely in his strength. So... how?"
"I don't know... Anna just disappeared, no one knows where she is"
"Arhhhhh, what a pity, when if you were to tell me then I would tell you about your wife's death" she smiled cunningly.
"What do you mean?" ask Reinner quickly.
"Well, I can only tell you what if your wife didn't die in that incident, she might have survived."
Reinner was stunned, remembering how the tragic incident had befallen his little family. One night when slander had made him lose the throne he was displaced to avoid the onslaught of the rampage of the time, but still he was hunted like an animal.
Alone, he tries to save his little family at the expense of himself. Half-dead he fought the vampire warriors to the point of being tired and even more terrifying was the moment he saw Catherine fall down, her body injured and her hands outstretched to him as if asking for help in a few seconds.
Kyaaa.......
A sword rained down on his heart, tears streaming down the dry leaves. A few seconds later a heartbreaking scream was heard, he thought it was the sound of a wolf in the middle of the forest but everyone said he was the one who was screaming.
Still with half consciousness he held tightly to Catherine's hand that had closed her eyes, but some soldiers tried to separate them until finally someone hit her head unconscious.
When he woke up he was already in this room, with his legs and hands tied in chains.
