1 Chapter 1

"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Regina said. Her wind-chime like voice is so beautiful, but on this night, the people who hear that voice is only filled with despair. "Life is so precious, isn't it? Shame that I have to end it." a light sign escaped her red lips. "Please, please, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't know it was you! Please, I'll do anything. Please, let me go." the man kneeling on the ground begged. "Do you see the color of this blood. So vibrant, so beautiful. I would drink the blood in your veins, but sadly, I has a little quirk. I don't like dirty things. And you blood. He, it's disgusting." Regina waved her delicate hand and the man's neck snapped. "Hm, clean this up." she said to her people as the man falls to the ground with terror in his eyes.

"My Lady, there is a charity gala that invited you tonight? Do you want to go?" Thomas, Regina's trusted butler, asked. "Is there anyone worth seeing there?" Regina asked as she wiped her jade like hands with a silk handkerchief. "Not really, but there is a pair of rings being auctioned at the gala tonight. You might be interested." Thomas answered, showing Regina a picture on the tablet. The rings in the picture is a pair, obviously meant for a couple. The masculine one is a simple band with two engraving that is loosely woven together, one strand filled with ruby, one filled with obsidian, and in the spaces between, little yellow gems is encrusted. The femeine one is more extravagant, a thin platinum band with the same design as the masculine ring, but the two strands are obsidian and the yellow gem, on the band there is also a flawless looking oval shaped ruby the size of an almond sitting there. The more Regina look at that, the more she is interested by it. "I'll be there."

. . .

"My Lady, we are here." Thomas said as Regina and him arrives at the gala. As Regina walks in, eyes are immediately drawn to her. Most people have never seen her face, but everyone knows her unique eyes. They are a stunning pure molten gold color melting into a vibrant sea-green. Everyone in that room knows, that pair of eyes belong to the woman who rules the dark. Regina Vasil. They all know she is powerful to a point where none of them is even on par with her, but to the true extent of her power, no one knows. "Thank you." she said to a passing waiter and took a glass of champagne. She sat down at a small table and looked around the room, she smiles as she notice a young man looking at her. At occasions like this, there is always a lot of people staring at her, but that boy is different, his eyes are very much like Regina's. It looks like pure gold melting into a deep, rich, sea-blue. What really got Regina interested is that those eyes are so pure, so clean. As if it has seen none of world's ugliness, all of the boy's emotions are displaced clearly in there. Regina can swear, if anyone looks in that pair of eyes for more than two seconds, they would sink in and get lost in it. All the people who can be at this charity gala won't have a simple background, and no one ever have such clean eyes when they are at that position.

The boy blushed and looked away, he looks embarrassed that Regina caught him staring.Regina smiled to herself. Adorable, she thought. Soon the auction for the rings start. "This pair of rings is found in Greece. The story is this ring belonged to a greek king and queen. Legend has it, if the ring found it's owners, their love would last forever and the rings can connect their thoughts. Now the auction will start at two hundred thousand dollars." the MC said. "Two hundred fifty!" a middle aged couple yelled out. "Three hundred!" "Four hundred!" Regina signaled Thomas that it's time to call. "Five hundred!" Thomas yelled out. Everyone knows Thomas is the Vasil family butler so no one called out any bid after that. "My Lady, here." Thomas said as he brings the ring to Regina. "It's quite unique isn't it?" she said softly as she looks at the rings. "Huh, 'the only one'." she said as she saw the engraving inside the bands of the rings. "Is it possible that my family made this pair of rings?" Regina asked Thomas. "My Lady, maybe, but it could also be the Dynamis." Thomas answered back. "Ah, how can I forget." she murmured and then left the gala.

After Regina left the gala, the innocent boy smiled. There is this light in his peach blossom eyes, "Interesting." he murmured as the corner of his thin, red lips lifted. That perfect face emits an aura of elegance and laziness. His butler standing next to him starting sweating cold sweat, his lord needs to stop harming the world's population with his inhumanly good looking face. And the look of the young lady he was looking at early doesn't look any worse compared to him, if one day, they get together, who knows how many people will be lured into their poisonous beauty.

. . .

"My Lady, there's a call for you." Thomas said softly to Regina. She took the phone and looked at the caller ID, Evan Lamas. "Hello." she answered. "Regina." Evan answered, "There is a human trafficking event tonight. We need you to stop it." "He, of course. I'll get it done." Regina said coldly then she hung up the phone. "My Lady…" Thomas said. "Alert the X team." she said as she stood up and went to change into something suitable for the mission.

As Regina walks in the human trafficking event, she puts on a pair of large sunglasses that covers half of her face. "Miss, what kind would you like?" a slightly fat man asked her, smiling. "The prettiest one." Regina answered, she had done this kind of mission before, you pretend to look around and pretend like you are going to purchase someone, then you go in for the capture. "Right this way Miss." the fat man said. He brings Regina to a cage. Inside the cage there is the boy at the gala. This time he is in a medieval shirt and pants, his neck, hands, and feet are in chains. His big eyes are slightly misty, and at this moment, he looks like a little kitten that have been captured. The cage is quite big to fit his 196 cm frame. Regina quickly covered her surprise at seeing him here and thought how can such a tall man look so innocent. "We just captured him two hours ago. He is pretty isn't he?" the fat man explained as he smiled. "Pretty, yes, but I think it's more like beautiful, or gorgeous, don't you think." Regina said as she takes off her sunglasses. Once the fat man gets over his shock at her face he answered quickly. "Yes, of course." "How much?" Regina asked. "My Lady!" Thomas exclaimed in shock. Regina waved her hand. "One million, Miss." the fat man said. Regina signaled Thomas to pay. She reached inside the cage and caressed the boy's curly, golden hair and then his face. Tsk, his skin is very nice, the perfect glass skin. "From now on you belong to me." she said in a soft, gentle voice as temptation leaks into her voice. The boy blinked his misty eyes and his red lips are slightly open. If anyone saw these two people right now, no matter if they are male or female, they probably think at these two people are too beautiful, too gorgeous for this world. They are poison that makes you sink into their temptation more and more, until you can never ever surface from it anymore. "What's your name?" Regina asked. "Lucius." the boy, Lucius said in a soft voice, that voice makes people think of the purest snow melting. It sounds airy, and at a medium low pitch. Just listening to it makes you want to shiver. "Lucius." Regina repeated his name in an airy tone too. All the people around the two are simply staring at them with wide eyes. All thinking, is it getting hot in here. "Thomas. It's time." Regina said, pulling everyone from their haze. Thomas signaled everyone who is from their team and captured all the traders.

Regina brought Lucius to her car. "You belong to me." she said to him again as she slipped the ring she auctioned tonight onto Lucius's right ring finger, and then slipped the female version onto her right ring finger. Lucius looks at her in the eyes. Both of their eyes is highly reflective, when they are looking at someone so possessive, it makes them feel as if they are the other person's whole world. "Yours." Lucius answered, not in an airy tone, but in a sure tone. The temptation is so strong in that single word, people can't help but want to believe it. The two equally gorgeous people smile at each other. Their red lips curved just right. If this scene is seen by other people, who knows what kind of commotion it will cost.
