Valerian Empire

A dark time when the creatures of shadow descended unto the tranquil human lands, making their existence known. A time followed when empires were led by humanity's conspiracy and betrayal, a time filled with hatred, but unbeknownst to the humans, they were only mere puppets, pawns of greater beings of darkness, entities with the power to crush anything and everything in their way. What happens when a small human girl catches the eye of one of these so-called greater beings, a pureblooded Lord? Can an ant such as her survive the political strifes and fearsome feuds between the lands and the monsters that control them. For those who fear vampires, ghosts and the unknown, I offer two words of advice… Tread lightly. -------- "Why should I avoid him? He was a perfect gentleman, a good man," Katherine Welcher argued in his defense. "Good or not, neither matter," Alexander Delcrov warned her, "As long as you're under my wing, you shall behave and listen to my words. Do not let any man kiss you, Katherine. I don’t want others to call you improper." "There was nothing improper about it! And I'm not yours to obey," she blurted out in annoyance, feeling her face flush with embarrassment for the second time this evening, "I mean, you can't order me aro—-" "So disobedient," he stated with nonchalance before moving his hand from her waist to her back, pulling her closer to him as they danced. His breath tickled her nape. "So you’ll only listen if you are mine?"

Green eyed- Part 5

She hadn't been listening to what they were speaking lost in her thoughts and when she did she heard Lady Caroline tell one of her tales.

"....and then this woman whom I had trusted all those years tried to stab father! The nerve of the woman!"

"You can't blame the woman for trying to stab him when he deserves to be stabbed," Quill muttered under his breath.

"And what happened then?" Elliot asked amused.

"Father had her thrown to the brothel. A fit punishment," she huffed.

"A servant has to be treated as a servant to show where they belong, else, they mistake it to be something else," she heard Lord Alexander speak.

Hearing his words made her heart drop. For some reason it felt his words were directed towards her and those words hurt.

He lived in a different world, a world to which she didn't belong. What happened two nights ago was a dream and this was the hard reality.
