Underneath the coldness of my skin

[MATURE THEMES] Never in her life had Celeste thought of waking up in the middle of the night at the horrendous screams of her parents nor finding out the man she had loved to her bone would do the dreadful deed of assisting his dad in killing her parents in the greed of power and wealth.  The grief and heartbreak she had gone through was one of hell and seeing the facade of her ex-partner's father falling before her feet the next night trapped inside the walls of her chamber when he tried to assault her was frighteningly alarming which left her with no way but to flee the Kingdom she grew up in. The palace where she only had the best of memories until that unfortunate night when she unwillingly had to let go of the people who gave birth to her. Who she loved to death.  Then again, never in her life had Celeste thought there will be a moment she will be brought to the kingdom of Elyznh— which she heard about a lot but didn't though one day she will be setting foot there and living a life pretending to be a human when the blood flowing inside her nerves were pure Vampire— living with werewolves nor falling in love with a werewolf. Her secret is her's only, and when she dies it will become mere ashes as she is and rose in the sky, until then no one needs to know.

The weight of the Queen's despise.

The knocks come again, at his lack of response. "Your Highness, are you still in there?" Ruth's voice floats in through the door after a moment of silence.

He feels a pang of guilt engulfing his chest at hearing her small voice, yesterday's memories flashing in his head. Goddess, he really behaved unkindly with her. "Yes, I am. Come on in, Ruth." He calls out to her.

And in a second the door to his private court is being pulled open and a wary-looking Ruth steps in, her head is hanging low as her eyes refuse to leave the shining marble floor of the courtroom.

Ruth offers him a deep bow, and without raising her head up to meet Zelian's gaze, she starts talking. "My prince, the Queen asked me to take you to the palace court. She is waiting for your arrival and it is important." She informs him.
