Loved By a Vampire King-Chapter 463 - The Night Of Lantern Festival--- Part 3
Coming back to Basarisk, Jessie and Ayra had to hop into the carriage together in order to get rid of Cedric's suspense. The guards were still behind them, following their carriage closely as per Cedric's order. The coachman was heading for the nearby church that they had in Basarisk which was the opposite direction of Richalwolf Land's path. Jessie had information that their grandfather and rest of family lived in a old mansion of Richalwolf Land.
The carriage drove through the sea of crowd. Since the festival was going on, local streets were quite busy. The regular creatures joined all together to fly the lantern. The environment was harmonious unlike other times when everyone held a certain seriousness on their faces to point out that they were creatures.
Ayra peeked through the back veils of their carriage and whispered to Jessie who wasn't happy about the excuse of church visiting,
" What will we do now? They won't leave us for a second. If we disappear using our magic, they will inform to his highness. Then everyone will be in trouble."
Jessie pondered in deep thoughts for a while. When a plan crossed across her mind, her eyes lit up in excitement. She lowered down her voice and asked Ayra who was getting worried slowly,
" Can you make them unconscious?"
Ayra appeared hesitating but nodded her head affirmatively afterwards. She stole a glimpse of the guards in their back and confirmed Jessie,
" I guess, I can. We aren't in palace anymore. My magic can work on them. But how will we reach in Richalwolf Land if we make all of them unconscious? At least we will need a ride and flying over there with our wings will attract attention."
Jessie tapped on her hands and winked telling,
" I will force the coachman to follow our lead. You will just have to get rid of those guards."
Jessie returned her attention on the coachman ahead and yelled loudly,
" Coachman, we will visit the church inside the Ashua Forest. Drive over there."
The coachman was a fifty something like man who found her request odd and yelled back responding,
" But Princess, it is quite far away from castle. Both churches are the same thing. Why don't you.."
" Just do what I say!!!", came the sharp reply from Jessie who saw Ayra blinking at her in confusion. The church inside Ashua forest was an abandoned place. People didn't go over there quite often and today was the best opportunity since everyone was busy with their festival. Leaving the guards asleep over there would be less troublesome or else they would be notified if they leave those guards under everyone's watchful eyes.
Ayra watched the carriage which was now taken over an empty road without anyone around. The two sides of road was enveloped in dense forest. She wondered where they were going for or what was Jessie's mind. Less than a few minutes, the carriage stopped at the end of road as the coachman's voice came from their front,
" My Lady, Princess, you have to walk into the forest to reach the Ashua's Church."
Jessie grasped Ayra's hand and whispered without replying to the coachman,
" Do it now! No one is around us. This is the best place to leave them. So we won't be found out."
Ayra nodded hurriedly and looked back at the guards intensely through the small window of carriage. Jessie watched her in curiousity as she performed her magic. Ayra kept staring at them intensely untill her eyes began to change colors. Jessie was little shocked when she spotted that Ayra had two different eyeballs. The intensity in her eyes was something that scared her off. It was something like she could kill anyone with just single glance.
When Jessie kept looking at the guards who were going to faint, their carriage began to shook violently. Jessie slightly panicked and looked up at Ayra who seemed unaffected by the sudden earthquake or something else. Jessie swallowed down her saliva nervously and heard the coachman panicking but she had no time to pay attention.
She looked back at the guards on their horses who were all confused and soon they all fell from their horses one by one, fainting. Jessie gasped in amusement and she found it cool move but their carriage kept shaking. She shifted her eyes back on Ayra who didn't return to her rational sense.
Out of fear, Jessie reached out to shook Ayra who gasped turning off her power that was going in unknown direction. Their coachman kept shouting from the front door,
" Dear God, Princess!! What was happening? We should go back now! What happened with our guards? Someone must be targeting us. What do we do now?"
Jessie cursed something under her breath and replied to the coachman after controlling her irritation,
" Don't scream, damn it! They will be fine! Now turn around the carriage and head for Richalwolf Land. We have to meet few guests over there."
The coachman hesitated speaking nervously,
" But Princess.. Lord has forbidden you two.."
" Either you take us in Richalwolf Land or you will face the same consequences like those guards. Besides I will make sure that you never wake up from that sleep. Now the choice is all yours.", came the sharp reply from Jessie who was holding the urge of strangling the coachman. He was getting too noisy without any reason. When she heard nothing as his reply, she frowned but the carriage was quickly started again.
Jessie asked her worryingly,
" Are you okay?"
Ayra hummed after taking deep breaths. Jessie couldn't help but asking in admiration,
" You turned on your both sides. What happens when you activate both of them together? I was a little scared a moment ago."
Ayra rubbed her palms together to control a different feelings which come back when she accidently turn on her both powers and whispered back,
" I..I actually can't explain but all I feel like only blood can satisfy my urge and darkeness is the only thing that I love in this world."
