Hellbound With The Vampire King-Chapter 101: High Priest, Fei

Chapter 101: High Priest Fei

"Then you should have announced your presence by knocking, Your Majesty, so I can prepare the room." The High Priest’s voice boomed as it echoed in the room. It was filled with disappointment and mixed with prejudice towards the vampire king.

"I guess the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree after all." The man mumbled under his breath.

Which made Eiravyn give him a hard stare and was about to respond to the man when Serena swiftly interjected. "We we’re about to knock but we’re in a hurry, please pardon this." Serena explained.

The tension in the room was getting high and she saw that the two men looked like they were frenemies, Serena wasn’t sure of their relationship and don’t want things to escalate any further. With the look of things it seemed like the high priest had a history with Eiravyn and she wasn’t sure if it was good news or not.

Eiravyn’s hardened gaze drifted to look at Serena, his face was dark. His growing anger evident in his expression and body language. It was obvious that he didn’t like it when Serena tried to get involved in things like this and would love to handle the situation himself. His reaction was actually directed at the High Priest and Serena misconstrued it and thought it was because of her. When Eiravyn notice that his mate looked like she was close to tears, he sighed deeply, as if to calm himself.

"This has nothing to do with you, kitten, you don’t have to get involve in my mess." He said, before he pulled Serena to himself as if to reassure her.

Serena wanted badly to pull back and tell him that his mess was also hers in the first place, but before she could voice out her feeling, she heard his chilly voice, saying.

Eiravyn turned to the High Priest next, his red eyes blazing like raging inferno. "I’m the king, Fei, I can chose to enter anywhere I want to, however and whenever I like. Everything belongs to me. Nobody in this goddamn kingdom has a right to deny me."

By law of the Dark Shade Kingdom, the High Priest could be convicted with a serious punishment with Serena as the witness for daring to speak against the king. Serena didn’t know this and that was why she was concerned.

"Your Majesty, if my words have offended you, then please forgive me. But as the High Priest, I have the right to speak up when my rights are being violated, this area is my territory. You can’t barge in however you like." Fei laughed bitterly as the candle in his hands suddenly intensified.

"You lost that right when you couldn’t track my missing parents with your powers or interpret the prophecy better with your stupid vision." Eiravyn responded, his voice coming off strongly, towards the end. One of his eyes had shifted to gold.

This time, Serena could not hold back the gasp, ’What does Eiravyn mean by missing parents?’ I thought his parents were dead. Serena prayed desperately for the older man to just shut up because it looked like he was fighting a losing battle.

If Eiravyn had bad blood with his High Priest. Why then did he bring her here to see the man in the first place. It felt like she was receiving one shock after the other, Eiravyn’s parents were not dead but missing.

It all looked like a fabricated story, what was the real story? She wondered.

There was a brief pause, and both men face each other. The vampire king’s stance was strong as if a battle was about to break out. Serena turned to observe the High Priest, who still hadn’t recognized her present despite the fact that she had been standing right there for a while.

The High Priest looked no less than fifty-five-years old, his amber-gold eyes looked piercing and sharp, not at all fitting his ancient look, with serene face marked with age lines hunter of years of signifying wisdom. Donned in a black flowing robe, with intricate embroidery reflecting his faith and tradition. His hair was long and white, almost silver, spotted white beards.

Judging from the High Priest aura and calm spirit, Serena wasn’t sure who would win if a fight was to break out between them. They were both in lined with magic. This made her worried, she didn’t want to see Eiravyn fight, especially when she wasn’t sure if he would win. And she wicked they could settle this amicably among themselves, since they were already here.

When Eiravyn was mentally focused on the High Priest. A tiny hand tugged his tunic. Serena was like a little sullen child.

His body visibly tensed, and his gaze drifted downward to look at Serena. She pinched the edge of his tunic with her thumb and forefinger.

"Eiravyn please don’t fight, I don’t want to see you get hurt." said Serena, with a pretty sullen face and prettu pour, causing Eiravyn to release a low groan.

’Did his mate really think this frail man could hurt him? Was that how she viewed him, as someone weak.’ Eiravyn wondered internally.

Before he could reply, Serena quickly added, "I thought we came here for me." She said this while blinking her eyes innocently at him.

Eiravyn looked paralyze on the spot, his red icy eyes turned to calm waters as they flew instantly to Serena’s pouted, sumptuous lips, it was the most beautiful lips he had ever seen. And just like that the rage inside him subsided, this took Eiravyn by surprise as he looked down at Serena. ’Who just was this girl to always elicit this kind of reaction from him?’ It was obvious that Eiravyn didn’t believe that just a look from Serena could calm his raging temper, something that has never happened before.

Eiravyn cleared his throat, the anger was still there but this time, he looked like he was in control of himself and the situation. His gaze zoomed down into Fei’s eyes, who was at least three inches shorter than him. "I didn’t come here for myself today, so I would pardon you for just today." He said after a while .

And that was when The High Prieat eyes shifted to finally regard the girl who had stepped into the room with the vampire king, the person who had taken their time to explain herself earlier, "I see you brought your mate with you this time." the man’s voice reverberated around the room, as his sharp hawk like eyes assessed Serena from head to toe.

His gaze made Serena squirmy and uncomfortable that she found herself straightening up and still, it was almost like he could see right through her body, soul and mind. Serena felt naked under his watchful eyes. As if that was not enough the man suddenly took three step closer to her, using his free hands to strok his white beard as he approached.

A movement Eiravyn recognized too well.

High Priest Fei, suddenly took Serena’s hand into his, with his eyes closed for a while as if testing something, Serena could sense the atmosphere changing subtly as Eiravyn’s voice dropped to a low octave.

"Don’t touch her, Fei." Eiravyn’s gaze zoomed onto Fei’s gnarled hand on Serena palm and was about to remove the man’s hand from Serena. When he noticed something strange.
