150 Noble Bastard

“He’s killing her...”

Out of nowhere, Anastasia recalled the time when she was attacked by a psychopathic vampire in the garden. She recalled how that vampire had sunk its fangs into Tilla, and how terrified she looked.

She could feel her vision turning blurry. She felt suffocated and began gasping for air. Her head started to spin and she was also getting cold sweats by now.

“Anna, I am right here.” Caspian instantly wrapped his arms around Anastasia’s shoulders and pressed her head into his chest so as to prevent her from witnessing that horror. “It’s okay. It’s okay. Calm down.”

He was ready to ask his royal guards to intervene thinking that the woman was in danger, but then he saw that woman grabbing that vampire’s hair and letting out soft moans. He realized that she wasn’t being forced but rather, she was voluntarily participating in that charade.

However, that didn’t give that vampire the right to freely feed on a human in public.

‘What the hell is he thinking by feeding in public like that?’ Caspian glared at that vampire in rage. He was angry that his wife was traumatized by that action of his.

So he clenched his teeth and held out his hand. He pointed his palm at that vampire. The veins in his forearms swelled and his fingers stiffened.

And in the next moment, that vampire got pulled backward while hitting and smashing anything that was in the way and got slammed against Caspian’s palm.

.....

Suddenly, the upbeat music stopped and the hall was filled with gasps and exclamations from the people who were surprised and startled by the commotion that just occurred.

“Arghh!”

“Whoa!”

“What the hell! What was that?”

A few of those who were around Caspian happened to witness how he dragged that vampire to him without using anything but his mind. Some were amazed by his ability while some were jealous but pretended to despise it.

“How did he do that?”

“He must be from a noble family to pull off something like that.”

“Yeah, noble bastards always like to cause trouble.”

Anastasia, on the other hand, was further startled when she looked up and saw her husband lifting that vampire up by his neck.

That vampire was choking; his feet were dangling in the air and his hands were desperately trying to get himself out of Caspian’s grip.

“Caspian!” Anastasia clung onto her husband’s shirt and tried to shake him in an attempt to urge him to put that vampire down. “Let the others deal with him,” she said while looking around for the royal guards.

The woman, whom that vampire was digging his fangs into, came running and shouted at Caspian, “What are you doing? Put him down this instant!”

Another vampire also walked up to Caspian and agreed to that woman. “Yeah, why are you disturbing everyone? Just put him down already.”

Caspian didn’t care what any of them were saying. He ignored them all. Rather, he bared his fangs and snarled at the vampire who he was lifting, “Don’t you know that you aren’t allowed to feed directly on a human in public?”

That vampire dug his fingernails into Caspian’s palm and tried to speak, “She’s my woman! You c-can’t tell me where and when I am allowed to f-feed on her!”

Caspian got further enraged when that vampire talked back to him. So, he slammed that vampire down on the stone floor with great force. A small crack ran along several pieces of the stone.

And he scolded that vampire, who was now grabbing his neck and was coughing, “If she is your woman then feed on her at your damned home. Don’t go around doing that in public and causing inconvenience to others.”

The vampire guards had surrounded their King by now. They were pushing away anyone who was standing too close to the King.

They were not even letting that woman go and check up on her man.

Caspian looked at one of the guards and asked, “Teach him all the rules so that he won’t repeat this again.”

“Who are you to teach me the rules? I can do whatever the hell I want.” That vampire got up on his feet with the intention to fight Caspian and ‘take’ his honor back.

But before he did that, he noticed how a human, Anastasia, was clinging to the vampire who was picking a fight with him over a small issue.

So, he pointed at Anastasia and raised his voice at Caspian, still oblivious that the same vampire was the one who made the rules, “Don’t try to act like an innocent one when you are also with a human. I bet you also feed on her from time to time. And I bet that after smelling the blood of my woman, you are also dying to bite-”

One of the royal guards instantly grabbed that vampire’s head from behind and snapped his neck. He didn’t want the King to be angrier than he already was and further lose his temper in front of all the citizens.

The whole hall was filled with gasping sounds again when they saw that vampire dropping unconscious on the floor.

Anastasia was clasping her mouth with her palm and holding her breath thinking that the royal guard killed that vampire just like that.

Caspian could guess what his wife was thinking. So he reassured her, “He is not dead. He will wake up after a while.”

Anastasia glanced at the woman who was with that vampire. She wasn’t crying or wailing to mourn the death; she was simply shocked and scared. So, Anastasia believed in Caspian’s words.

Caspian then looked at that woman and asked, “Are you his woman for real or did he just spew some nonsense?”

That woman was too scared to speak a word. She had never seen any of the vampires displaying such strength and ability as Caspian before. But she did manage to give a nod to Caspian.

Caspian then looked at the royal guard who had snapped the neck of that vampire and ordered, “Take the two of them back to their place. Oh, and pay for any damages that I caused here. I will head out first.”

The guard gave a bow to the King without speaking and revealing the latter’s title.

In the next moment, Caspian picked Anastasia up in his arms and asked, “Hold on tight.”

And when Anastasia wrapped her arms around his neck, Caspian whooshed outside that place. He didn’t stop even after reaching outside. He took a leap and carried Anastasia to the rooftop of one of the buildings of the capital.

He carefully let Anastasia down on her feet while still holding her hand. And when he made sure that she had a strong footing on the tiles of the roof, he looked at her and apologized, “I am really sorry for what happened earlier. I wanted you to enjoy your time but... things didn’t quite go as I had expected.”

Anastasia simply gave a smile and looked up to stare at the moon.

The moon was almost in the shape of a full moon. However, the bright light from the moon also fell dim when she turned her gaze to look down at the surroundings.

All of the houses, shops, and roads were so well-lit that it looked like she was standing amidst the sea of bright stars. And all the buildings with old architectural designs looked so beautiful that she felt as if she was transported to some fairyland.

She also noticed how the vampires were whooshing past the roads very frequently than in the evening. There were so many vampires who were simply standing by the roadside and talking. All the shops were extremely busy compared to how empty they were just a while ago.

The whole capital looked lively as though the day had just begun.

“It looks so beautiful from up here,” Anastasia said in a soft whisper.

Caspian nodded and agreed with her, “It does, doesn’t it?”

While Anastasia was darting her eyes around the capital, Caspian had his eyes on her. Her eyes were sparkling from the reflection of hundreds of lanterns and torches. Her face was also reflecting that subtle yellow hue, making her look even more dazzling.

“So, do you want to look around for a bit?” he asked when Anastasia turned to look into his eyes.

Anastasia was feeling a little tired by now. However, she still wanted to explore the capital. So, she asked, “Why don’t we take a round of the capital by air?”

She specifically asked that because she didn’t want any misfortunate events like earlier to happen again. She wanted them to avoid any possible interaction with the townspeople.

“Sure, why not?”

Caspian took off his waistcoat and made Anastasia wear it. He then lifted her in his arms, and when she was ready, he hovered in the air just enough to fly without facing any physical obstacles.

While looking down at the lively town below her, a thought crossed Anastasia’s mind. ‘Would Caspian also like it if I were to offer him to feed on me?’

But she quickly pushed that thought aside. ‘It will be like teasing a sleeping lion. I better not do something that stupid just because someone else was doing it.’
