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?
Are You Both Ready?
But Draven did not answer him. His expression was impassive as always, unwavering.
Old Master Lenort chuckled. He slanted his face close to his ears and whispered, "Do yourself some good and learn when to give up on certain things."
"I am not dumb, Père," Draven finally responded in a barely audible tone.
"Since the entertainment is over." Old Master Lenort abruptly pulled back and turned to face the crowd. "We will move on to the main reason for this ceremony."
"The duel will be taking place in the Arena," he announced. "So follow me."
He turned around and began to exit the hall toward the arena next door.
The guests got up from their seats with their faces brimming with excitement. Their smiles were broadened, leading to their eyes narrowing and their cheeks rising.
