04 Abandoned

Brandi and Draynes froze unable to do anything. What's more, hearing the name of King Darkos' come out of Naomi's mouth, their entire bodies stuck.

"I'm just doing my job Andros, and that's your father's wish. But, I'm also a Queen, so I'll give you two choices."

"Go home with us to meet your father, or stay here and wait for your father to come to pick you up. Remember Andros. You will not be forgiven if you choose the second option. Especially them," said Queen Meralda threatening Andros continued to stare intently at Brandi and Draynes. Both could only remain silent.

"You."

Andros seemed to have lost almost all of his consciousness.

"Calm down Andros, have you forgotten, I am your mother. No mother ever allows her child to be punished. For that, I still have a third option which is very special for you." Queen Meralda continued to say.

"What's your choice?"

Andros was back as usual, not with his bloodshot eyes anymore.

"Be patient Andros, control your emotions and listen to this carefully. You can stay here, as long as you can accept Naomi as your life partner. That's all Andros. If you dare, the girls you are with you at stake."

"What kind of choice is that?"

Andros tried to control his emotions. At first, he didn't want to make his thoughts bad, but… after hearing Queen Meralda say that, Andros had a hard time holding on.

"I am indeed your mother Andros, but I am also a Queen. You need to remember that a mother and queen must provide the best way for her child."

Queen Meralda is very wise in making decisions. Even though she didn't show any kind of motherly attitude at all.

Andros snorted.

"Before I choose one option from you, surely you will consider my request, right, mother?"

Andros seemed to have calmed down. To win the problem requires a clear mind. At least Andros managed to do it. Andros is indeed weak against emotions and lust, at least Andros is talented in taking opportunities.

"Sure, I'll grant it."

Queen Meralda intends to win Andros' heart. It had been a long time since the vampire queen had tried to influence Andros's mind. However, no matter how hard Queen Meralda tried, Andros remained uncontrollable.

"Okay, let's just cut it short. I chose your choice, the third option to be exact. But I have a little request, mother," Andros said looking into Queen Meralda's eyes, staring deep into the deepest part. Queen Meralda smiled.

"Say."

"I'll do whatever you want, as long as I'm free to do whatever I want. Including dealing with who I like, and one more thing, I can be reckless."

After hearing Andros' wish, Queen Meralda was shocked. She never thought that Andros wanted something he had never thought of. Hell, Queen Meralda won't let Andros get any chance, because this opportunity belongs to Queen Meralda, not Andros.

"Sure, I can grant it. Not only you Andros, but I have also prepared something."

Queen Meralda's last words could make Andros lose his temper. Andros didn't let that happen. Andros had to get used to dealing with difficult situations that disturbed his thoughts.

"State the conditions," Andros said later.

"Don't be too hasty Andros, you, even though you've tried, are still crossing the line."

"Just mention the conditions," Andros said with a sharp look.

Queen Meralda was testing Andros' patience without realizing the consequences of her actions. If Andros had reached his weak point, things were chaotic.

Queen Meralda's mind was clouded by her arrogance, thus making her no longer think about all the bad possibilities.

"Andros, stop holding on if you can't do it at all."

"I should have rested earlier, mother. But you got in my way. Hurry up and do your job, or I'll change my mind. I could die, but what about your plans all along? Hurry up and decide."

"Okay. My condition is to do whatever you want while at the time," said Queen Meralda at last.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you understand Andros? I'm talking about timing. That time will continue for the next three years. I think it's more than enough to spend your time here," said Queen Meralda, continuing to caress Andros's face repeatedly until Andros' eyes changed again.

"Don't ever touch me."

Andros slapped Queen Meralda's hand quite hard. Seeing this incident, not only Naomi, Brendi and Draynes also widened their eyes.

It was very clear to them that Andros injured the Queen's hand. Queen Meralda was in pain. Luckily her hand can still be healed by the power that Naomi has.

"Stop it, Queen, don't make Andros angry. He can turn out to be very vicious."

Naomi takes Queen Meralda away from Andros' reach. After feeling somewhat better, Queen Meralda looked at Andros with her red eyes.

"How dare you."

"Queen, please don't act rashly."

Seeing the current situation, Brandy dared to speak. Don't let the situation get any worse. It was better they didn't talk to Andros, it would only make him angrier and eventually lose consciousness. If that happened, it was certain that a very big problem was in front of them.

"That's right, Queen, we certainly don't want what happened in the past to repeat itself."

Naomi realized something.

The incident when Andros just found out that his mother had died because he was killed by King Darko, who was none other than Andros' father. All of that happened because of the future prophecy possessed by Queen Meralda. One day Queen Mitra will make Andros turn into a very vicious and destroy the entire existing vampire civilization.

To prevent the prophecy from happening, the Mitra Queen must be annihilated, but not Andros because he is innocent.

Only the king of Darko's can control the power of Queen Mitra, better known as the Red Stone Drop. Thus, when Andros found out what had happened to his mother, Andros lost control. The entire body was covered in an extremely sinister blood-red aura.

Andros' anger can only be stopped with the help of the Red Stone's power.

Because it was too difficult to suppress Andros' power and anger, King Darko locked Andros in a prison protected by the power of the Red stone for 100 years.
