Heidi and the Lord

An adopted child, Heidi was a smart and obedient girl because she had to be. Used as a scapegoat by her family, she was sent to become the political bridge between two empires. Taken in by the House of the infamous White King, Lord Nicholas Rune, she would be cared for and supervised until her wedding with his cousin, Warren Lawson. A man whose gentle appearance and benevolent manner earned him the title White King of the Empire, Lord Nicholas was a man kindest to the souls around him. Very few knew about the truth that lay beneath his beautiful visage. Who could predict a little human girl would bring out the best and the worst of a noble pureblood? ----- “Now, tell me, Heidi, why do I have a bad taste in women?” As Lord Nicholas took a step forward, she took a step back. Heidi had said too much, and she regretted it. Would he let her go free? Gulping, she warned him, "What you're doing could be considered harassment, milord." "I wouldn’t. I’d call it persuasion.” He took another step towards her, his frame towering over her. "I believe the dictionary in your library would disagree with you, milord." She retreated another step back, shrinking away, hoping he would give up. “I keep the good one in my room. You can come to see for yourself if you don’t believe me.” Her back struck the wall behind her. "You haven’t answered my question, Heidi." The Lord was too persistent, Heidi cursed to herself. He was unwilling to let her go.

Vampire masquerade- Part 4

Nicholas looked from the corner of his eyes when Heidi busied herself in looking at the snowfall as if she had never seen one before. Her eyes were curious and tender, her lips parted slightly. She looked beautiful tonight, like an angel who had fallen from the sky during the snowfall and would disappear once the sun would rise up. Stanley had done a good job in helping her ready herself for the ball and he didn't know if he had raise his salary or reduce it for making her so alluring. She hadn't caught just his eye but most of them who had come across her.

When he reached for her hand, she didn't withdraw her hand and let him take it in his.

"This is a safe place," he tugged her hand gently and she followed him without any question, letting him whisk her away where he wanted to.

After taking a few more turns, Nicholas led her to a room before closing it shut.
