A Game Of Chess With A Vampire
[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?
Because...Of Me?
Adam glanced at him.
"Oh, I got it in case of situations like this occurring. I know you don't need it, but I just thought it would be a good idea if you had one."
Valentine scowled. "Why didn't you tell me about it? You shouldn't do things, Adam, without letting—"
"I didn't tell you, young master, because I knew you would say no and, even worse, scold me like you are doing now." Adam beamed at him as he taped the adhesive bandage on his nose.
Valentine hissed a bit. "Easy with that. Dammit, it hurts!"
"And you wanted to rest with it?" Adam chuckled. "It's a broken bone, your highness. Even for royal blood, it will take a day or more to heal. So please, just wear this on your nose for now and avoid touching it, okay?"
Valentine raised his brow at him. "Where did you even learn all these? Are you secretly a doctor or what?"
