Drama

"Are you sure about that future wife?" Olympia almost screamed that he shouldn't call her his future wife again but her words choked her throat immediately he removed the full golden mask revealing his handsome unreal face, licked his lips at the same time exposing his fangs that looked, even more, sharper than that of a vampire.

Olympia bent over his arm and ran as fast as she could. She ended up bumping into the tray of mooncakes which she caught before it could fall, surprising herself that she caught it even in the dark. Without turning back, she ran while holding the tray and succeeded in finding her way back to the ballroom premises.

She caught her breath and swallowed hard. His fangs couldn't get out of her head. Her parents wanted her to marry a monster who would kill her immediately after they got married or worse turn her into his blood bank.

She composed herself to avoid anyone coming to her to ask her questions and finally looked at the tray that she carried back in the dark hallway. Excitement stars filled her eyes as she realized that it was a tray of mooncakes.

She didn't care where it came from but she was glad that she brought it with her out of reflexes. Seeing that there weren't many at the ballroom premises, she proceeded in eating the mooncakes until the tray was empty and forgot all of her troubles including the monster who wanted to eat her some minutes ago. She ate with excitement and made sure none of the fillings stained her lips.

Olympia noticed that there was no one at the ballroom premises, everyone had arrived and was in the ballroom. She pouted her lips and inhaled deeply then walked into the ballroom which was filled with so many people. Thankfully the ballroom was enormous.

"Olympia, did you eat the mooncakes?" She heard her mother ask from behind.

Olympia turned to her mother intending to tell her mother that she was ready to go back to the mansion but she saw a man who was wearing a dark green mask smiling at her standing beside her excited-looking mother.

"My lady," The man bowed and she bowed in respect. They both stood up straight, Olympia couldn't hide her feelings and asked her mother, "I have had my mooncakes, we can go now"

"Olympia, I and this nice man have been talking all night and I told him about you" Luana unexpectedly informed.

Olympia swore that her mother had been hypnotized. Her mother was smiling, a mother who had been wearing a worried expression all night was smiling just because she was talking to this young man and telling him about her

"Okay....." Olympia waited for her mother to say something else.

Luana's face fell. "Don't worry ma'am" The young man told Luana then looked at the golden-haired man in front of him.

"May I have this dance?" He asked and outstretched his hand waiting for hers.

Olympia's emerald green eyes moved to her mother who nodded her head as a yes for Olympia to reply to him.

Olympia didn't understand her mother, why was her mother pairing her up with another man when her mother persuaded her to come here to see her future husband.

Olympia gently placed her hand on his which was a lot smaller than his and it reminded her of her so-called future husband. The man instantly clasped her hand and led her to the dance floor.

Unknown to her, a pair of unique dark eyes watched her eat those mooncakes wholeheartedly earlier, his lips curved into an amused smile behind his golden mask.

"I thought you were scared, now you are eating"

He watched as she entered the ballroom and met her mother who was standing beside just who he wanted to see tonight.

Dark eyes narrowed as he outstretched his hand, dark eyes darkened as a small fair hand landed on his hand.

"Interesting drama, the insect knows what he is doing and so does the human pest" He uttered calmly, referring to the dark green mask man and Luana who were smiling brightly.

"Hello" A smooth seductive voice called behind him.

He turned and faced the gorgeous woman who wasn't wearing a mask but was holding one. She was a vampire and she seemed to know who he was. It was obvious that she had removed the mask for him to see her face.

"Respect is needed since you know who I am," His fingers slid on her cheek in a slow arousing way.

"Yes, your majesty" She bowed her head then looked up, back at him.

"Can I see your face, your majesty, it will be an honor to know you" She smiled and licked her lips which disgusted him.

"Dear," He whispered and caressed her cheek continuously. "Do you want to die?"

Fear gripped her immediately she heard that question and the fear in her brown eyes lifted Mystic's spirit, making his unique dark eyes darken again.

"N...no" She stuttered terrified.

"Then don't ask to see my face and do not be scared" He caressed her cheek and then held her hand.

Her face turned red, she wore her mask immediately and followed him as he led her to the dance floor.

.

Olympia was dancing as if she had taken dance lessons since she was born. The man dancing with her didn't know that she took a small dancing lesson that night.

The music wasn't slow and dreadful like the one she danced to earlier with Mystic and she was glad. Just as she was being glad, the music suddenly changed to the one she danced to earlier with Mystic. She sighed deeply and shook her head.

"What's wrong my lady?" The green masked man asked curiously as they swayed according to the song's rhythm.

"It's nothing," Olympia smiled.

"Oh, You don't like the song, you can tell me, it's utterly dreadful and boring" The man chuckled.

Olympia smiled and nodded. "I won't say boring but it's dreadful in a meaningful way"

"Seems you like this kind of taste" The man pointed out.

Olympia didn't say anything, she was distracted by the way his hand was playing with her hair and at the same time playing with a dress in a noticeable way. She felt uncomfortable.

"Your mother is a nice person" He started a conversation with the hope to catch his attention.

Seeing Olympia's smile, he was glad that he had succeeded. "Indeed she is and thank you for making her smile, she hasn't smiled since we got here, I am sure you saw her with my father"

"I didn't see her with anyone" Olympia pouted thoughtfully, her parents kept disappearing since they went to the castle.

"Oh..." The man nodded and pulled her close to him. Olympia felt even more uncomfortable and slapped herself for feeling like that with him, he was being nice to her yet was strangely even more comfortable with her so-called future husband.

"I am Roland Easton," He introduced with a warm smile.

Olympia returned the smile. "Olympia Hamilton"

Roland nodded and gazed lustfully at her inviting milky skin down to her collar bone, he couldn't help but speak. "Even with a mask, you are a beauty, your skin is quite inviting"

Olympia moved away but he pulled her even closer to him. "Let me go," Olympia whispered and closed her eyes.

Roland grinned and revealed his blood-red eyes. Olympia opened her eyes and punched his stomach harshly which caught even one's attention. Roland didn't expect that he would feel pain from a golden phoenix nor did he think that a golden phoenix would have the courage to punch him. Roland harshly released Olympia, groaned in pain, and placed his hand on his stomach.

Olympia was caught before she fell to the ground.

Loud gasps of shock filled the ballroom and music stopped.

"Are you okay future wife?" A familiar voice asked Olympia who frowned seeing those familiar dark eyes.

"Yes, let me go," Olympia growled in anger.

Mystic titled his head to his side and pulled her up to straight then released her.

Asher without a mask and some guards came to the scene immediately.

"Take her back, she and her parents" Mystic instructed Asher who bowed and smiled at Olympia.

"This way my Lady," Asher told Olympia who was fuming at Roland whose hands were still on his stomach which was still in pain.

Mystic's eyes darkened even more seeing that Olympia's attention was on the insect. "Stop staring at him like that, You can only stare at me like that"

Whispers filled the ballroom as everyone where confused, emerald eyes widened in shock, and looked into those unique dark eyes. "Unbelievable" Olympia scoffed and walked past stunned Asher, she was immediately followed by the guards while stunned Asher bowed at Mystic and then walked away.

Roland turned away intending to run but Mystic appeared in front of him. His action startled all of the humans, they all screamed in terror and ran out of the ballroom.

Ignoring the screams, Mystic walked towards Roland and tilted his head to his side. "Is this an unexpected attack? Touching what belongs to me?"
