...[.Chloe’s POV]...

Everything happened so fast. One of my hands was in his grip and the other pulled a small dagger that I tucked at the waist of my armor.

When the sword made my helmet fall, I was furious and immediately buried the dagger into his stomach. Then I gasped when I saw Dimitri D’Arcy's face change, but not because of the pain of the dagger.

“Chloe..”

He called my name in a voice I could not describe. So gentle, yet there was sadness behind it. I frowned.

“B-how did you know my name?”

I just met him last night. So why did he know my name when he saw me?

“Chloe, are you really my Chloe?”

His fixed eyes made me want to run away. Run all the way from this guy. That was the first instinct that came up. I took one step back from this athletic tall man, but both of his big hands held my face.

“God actually answered my prayer.”

Dimitri D’Arcy's eyes glazed over. Did I not see wrong? She cried? A 1-millennium-old vampire cries more from seeing the face of the woman he just met?

“Don't go, Chloe. Never go again.”

I started to feel uncomfortable because I didn't understand what he meant. The crowd began to stir because they had seen who was behind the armor.

A woman!

“I can't believe it! We've been lied to all this time. Our war commander is a woman!”

“Can't be... The person who has been leading and training us all this time is him??”

“Then he is not a God of Death! Except the Goddess of Death!”

And many more things I can hear. I don't really care about their opinions because I can erase human memories.

But I can't erase the memory of a vampire! Dimitri D’Arcy has seen me!

“Let me go now.” I gave him a cynical look and brushed off both of his hands.

“Chloe..”

I hissed and pointed at him with my index finger, “Don't say my name!”

Papa Edric lifted the fallen helmet and thrust it at me, I took the helmet from his hand and put it back on.

I flicked my finger to erase the memories of the soldiers and of course King Azov, who was already standing in the middle of his pavilion tent looked so angry.

Still with a confused face, Dimitri asked, “Edric, what happened?”

I interrupted, “What happened was, you lost! Edric, announce my win.”

Edric tried to smile then he raised my hand and announced to everyone that this friendly duel was won by the war commander King Azov.

“Bravo! Bravo!” King Azov smiled with satisfaction as he clapped his hands and sat back down and sipped his red wine.

Everyone cheered and applauded. The soldiers from Rudolmuv Kingdom looked disappointed by the end result, then slowly the soldiers dispersed to continue their activities.

“Peti with gold will be delivered to you after we return, God of Death.” Edric reminded me that I am entitled to the prize that King Azov has promised to the winner of this friendly duel.

I just gave my papa a nod and was about to leave when Dimitri prevented me.

“Wait..”.

“Why? You still don't accept the fact that you've lost, Dimitri D’Arcy?”

I saw Papa Edric, but he also had trouble giving an answer. I looked back at the man for a long time.

Did I know her before I turned into a vampire?

“Dimitri, not here. Come with me, we'll talk somewhere else.”

The Destroyer was still hesitant to follow Edric, he glanced at the Thunder he made falling to the ground and picked it up.

“After I talk to Edric, I'll see you. There's a lot I need to talk about war with Navarre.”

I nodded knowing that I could not keep avoiding Dimitri. Either way we have to work together to figure out how to win the war against the vampire army.

When I took the Thunder from Dimitri, our hands touched. Once again I was jolted because it was like there was a stream of electricity that made me electrocuted.

Damn this guy too! Why would he make me feel something I shouldn't?

He gave me a warm look before leaving with Edric. Hmm.. Maybe the woman Dimitri D’Arcy knows has a face similar to mine.

[The Third POV]

Dimitri follows Edric walking away from the other's hearing, into the woods. The sunlight was stinging so scorching that even the dense leaves of the trees were unable to block the rays.

“Well, I'm waiting for your explanation.” Dimitri said when Edric just stood behind him and was silent.

“The true identity of the God of Death is Chloe Isabel or not?”

If Dimitri's heart could beat, he would have heard it pumping so fast. She hopes the woman she fought with was Chloe Isabel, the mother of her child. But little heart Dimitri said that it was impossible for this to happen.

Chloe Isabel is dead. He's just a normal human being. The woman is a vampire and she has a face similar to Chloe's.

Perhaps this was another form of suffering given by God as punishment to her who had tortured Chloe. Yes, Dimitri realized that two and a half years was too short a time. He deserves eternal life in suffering.

“Not. The God of Death is not Chloe Isabel.”

Dimitri feels his world is collapsing for the umpteenth time when Edric's statement obliterates all his hopes. He wanted to scream loudly, but he could stand it and it was even more painful.

Edric turned his back to look at Dimitri. In the sun, Dimitri realizes that Edric's brown bead is just like Chloe's.

“Chloe Isabel has died and been reborn. Her current name is Chloe Elizabeth Suarez.”

Dimitri said in a voice that held back anger, “What do you mean, Edric? Say it clearly. Chloe Elizabeth Suarez is the Chloe I brought to the king or not?!”

Out of nowhere, a fist landed on Dimitri's face. So hard that he almost fell.

Edric smiled with satisfaction. He had long wanted to poke the face of the man who had hurt his son. All this time he refrained from killing her in order to see Dwayne.

“Sick? That's nothing compared to the suffering you gave Chloe! I should have killed you here and now!”

Dimitri wiped his lips, his eyes fiery. “Edric!! It turns out that you were the one who kidnapped Chloe from me and hid her in the Azov Kingdom? What is your motive behind all this? For the past two years you have always visited Dwayne but never thought to tell me!”

Dimitri drew his sword and was about to slash Edric's head, only an inch from his neck left. But Edric was flinching.

“Do you not want to know what happened to Chloe?” said calm.

Dimitri's cracking his jaw. “Explain!”

“Chloe herself chose to come to me. After all, he is my real son. A child born from the womb of a woman destined for me.”

There were no black clouds but thunderbolts in Dimitri's ears.

“Women destined for you..”

“Yes, just like Chloe was destined for you. Sofia is an ordinary human who gave birth to Chloe to the world.”

Dimitri stuck his sword into the ground, holding on so tightly as his body suddenly suffocated. Chloe is a mixture of vampires and humans, making her able to turn into a vampire at the age of 18. He's no ordinary man. He's just like their son, Dwayne.

“Cannot..”.

That's all that can come out of his mouth. All the evil things Dimitri was forced to do were futile because eventually Chloe would turn into a vampire as well.

He shouted so loud and long that all the crows hiding in the shade of the tree flew out.

“You've finished lamenting your fate? Now hand Dwayne back to his mother.”
