SILVER-HAIRED-Chapter 124: A Question

We were both in the bath, in yet another hall connected to our chambers, the bath was wider than the ones I used in the Mortal Realm like a full stream, the milky water and red roses within, it gave wonderful fragrance, also warm and pleasant against the skin.

I giggled as Nicklaus trailed kisses on my neck from behind, he was all clingy, our nonstop sessions until we finally got to the bath and he couldn’t keep his hands off and I loved it, especially as he started nibbling my ear again. We were both seated in the water, he hugged me from behind and my body rested against his wall of a chest. It was wonderful, even though there was a prolonged silence between us, it was shared and perfect, everything with him was perfect. His hands moved and cupped my two breasts giving them a gentle squeeze, I groaned.

"Celeste told me everything," he began.

"Hmm" I hummed too focused on his hand folding my breasts.

"Seems like your Mother goddess didn’t just curse me... she put you on trial"

My eyes flashed open, my mind reminisced about all that has happened, my time with him I have forgotten everything but I guess it’s time to remember, I knew we were going to talk about it sooner or later.

"All my life in the Mortal realm was all forged based on a trial," I began, remembering my papa, Mother, Danette, and everyone else I knew doing my stay there. "Like a lie"

I turned to him.

"We are together now, that’s all that matters," he said softly before leaning down to kiss me.

"You’re my wife and my empress now" he kissed me again but I pulled away.

"I thought laws of the Mortal Realm might not apply here"

He smiled. "Well basically sinking my fangs says it all"

I blinked puzzled. "I have stuck my claim on you my love... we don’t do weddings here, I have taken a taste of your blood, you’re my mate now and forever" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

That’s why he bit me first before anything, I was now officially his wife here in the Vampire Realm, and his... I blushed and his Empress, I was his forever.

I placed my hand at the back of his neck before pulling him down in a kiss, it was hot and intense before I broke it.

"Nicklaus"

"Yes my heartbeat," he said, going for another kiss but I wanted to talk with him right now.

"I want to know about our past life... Celeste told me my memories would resurface but I can’t wait that long, I want to know everything, will you tell me, please"

His eyes darken, it didn’t seem like hunger but of something else and I didn’t know what.

"I want to know about us centuries ago"

"It is as Celeste says... Your memory will come if chosen"

"Won’t you tell me?"

"Yelena" he began pulling some strands of my wet silver hair behind my ear, he sighed deeply, and then I knew then.

"I won’t pressure you," I said softly, I felt there was a reason for him being silent and I chose to respect that, I trust him with all my heart and I knew everything he did was for my well-being. I placed my head against his chest.

He wrapped his strong arms around me in silence, I sighed maybe I shouldn’t have asked something like that... the silence was... awkward.

Nicklaus watched the sleeping beauty against the bed, she was fast asleep, she must be very exhausted because she slept off after their profound silence in the bath, he took the liberty of tucking her to bed to get more proper sleep. His features were unreadable, he looked away from her sleeping form and walked naked to a wide door that spread open from an unseen force. Inside was a dressing room, he scanned for what to wear before finding what he was pleased with.

He put on his royal attire which was a back leather pants and black riding boots, red linen long sleeve shirt, and his royal robe, flapping it on, black in color but embodied with a red dragon design. He packed his long raven hair in a ponytail, some strands of it fell down, that was how he liked to keep it, he then placed a top knot pin made of gold, setting the pin right. A royal jewel signifying his reign.

He walked out of the dressing room, the doors slamming behind him, he climbed up the bed, watching her for sometime before leaning down placing a gentle kiss on her forehead, he would have loved to stay by her side but he had much to do, the Realm wasn’t gonna run itself.

He pulled away before walking out of the chambers the doors slamming shut, he turned to the next hall sauntering downstairs, and then in a blur, he vanished.

In a snap, he was in front of a large golden door spread open as he walked into the throne hall. Inside was a crowd of royals vampires, all on one knee bowing at his sudden presence.

"Emperor!" Their voices boomed in the large hall.

In silence Nicklaus walked on the red carpet leading to his golden throne, it was immense silence as he sauntered towards it, his presence, his aura, it was just as frightened and heavy, no one dared to make a sound all in respect as their eyes were leveled.

Nicklaus sat on his throne, leaning on it, his elbow resting on the throne and the back of his hand against his cheek.

"Rise" at his sonorous voice the crowd of vampires rose to their feet simultaneously and faced him. His stern eyes scanned his subjects, it really has been 2 thousand years and yet not much has changed.

"Welcome back My liege... the entire realm is celebrating at your auspicious return," Bartholomew said, he was no other than his adviser and his General.

"Welcome back My liege!" the rest of the Vampire crowd says with a bow.
