[SLOW BURN ROMANCE. RATED 18: NO RAPE] What if the sort of love you'd wanted and desired, only but a man incapable of love could give it to you–a man who has not the slightest of an idea what the word "Love" meant? ..... Vampires coexisted with humans for centuries without either side hunting or killing the other due to a peace treaty. They didn’t feed on human blood for so long either, but that changes when the first vampire auction is held. Six human slaves were sold, and among them included Avelina, a twenty-six-year-old woman. Avelina is sold to an infamous Vampire prince, Draven Delgaard, rumored to have committed heinous acts even amongst his kind. She fears for her life upon their first encounter, but to her utmost bewilderment, Draven Delgaard makes a deal with her. He sought the inheritance of the royal family, but to be qualified, he needed a wife. Since his kinds weren’t available due to his reputation, Avelina was one of the few options left. In exchange for her freedom, she will assist him in obtaining the inheritance. But this royal inheritance can only be acquired through the style of a chess game with other royal opponents. A game of strategy and survival. Should she succeed, her freedom shall be regained and it would be a win-win for both her and Draven. However, she soon realizes that success might come at a very heavy cost. Will Avelina and Draven be able to win the game of chess? Will they secure her freedom and inheritance, or will they fall victim to the dangerous machinations of the royal family?
Old Master Lenort commanded.
"Set the fire!"
The guard standing beside the sticks of wood clad in all-covering clothing nodded and lit the wood.
It caught fire and began to spread at a fast pace.
Erawada began to scream as the pain from the sun burning her was much more agonizing compared to the fire.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Her tormenting screams pierced their ears, causing them to immediately cover their ears, afraid that their eardrums would get damaged.
Erawada's gift was her voice. None had a beautiful voice compared to hers. She was said to sing like a siren and talk in a way that could instantly put one to sleep. Perhaps that was what attracted Old Master Lenort to her, even though she was nothing but a mere maid.
