The Princess's Dangerous Vampire Mate-Chapter 146: Avenging her - III

Tristan did not think twice before going outside in calling the guards. He relayed the orders that I had given him and within moments the muzzles on their faces were off and they were chewing their very own dirty things.

Blood could be seen on their lips and it dripped out. They deserved it. Every time they cried I only remembered how much I had. They had enjoyed holding me down and while letting me and it only served them right that now they were facing the same consequence. Something was being done by them against their will.

Something that they never wanted to do, something that they never wanted to experience.

"Cut their tongues off." I told the Guards, "make sure that the mouth is bloody when you leave them at the border of the kingdom of Astria. I want the queen to know that I did this."

They nodded and I saw one of them look at the nice kept on the table. Good they knew what to do with the terms. There was no need to tell them that they were to be most brutal with these men.

She would be sent all four of them so that she could say what I was capable of. If I had been kind and grateful for my own life to not kill someone else it did not mean that I could not protect myself. She had hurted me this time and the previous one but I was no longer going to let it happen. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Tristan was right that it was the old genevieve. The new one was not going to tolerate any such offence against her.

I stepped outside the prison cell and stopped just in front of the stairs before I fell into a heap of mess as I finally realised what I had done.

I covered my face with my hands and try to control my breathing.

"I told you not to do it if you are going to regret it later."

"I am not regretting it." My voice came out muffled as I spoke with my hands covering my face. I finally took them off and stared at Tristan, "I’m not feeling what I thought I would feel after doing all of that."

He looked at me with a quizzical expression, "and what would that be?"

I shrugged, "frankly speaking I have always been against violence. So when you told me to be violence at thought that I would never like it and I would feel empty inside after I was done with it all but I don’t feel like that. I feel relieved. As a huge weight has been taken off my shoulders."

I placed my hand where my heart was beating. It was treated so heavily that I could actually feel it against the skin of my palm. A rubbed the area as lightly as I said, "I always assumed that violence was never needed. Here I think that it . .was."

He nodded and bent down in front of me. He should not have done that. With his face so near mine it was difficult for me to think straight.

"I thought so too." He said in a soft voice before I saw his expressions hardening. "But I do not anymore."

I raised my eyebrows in slight alarm. "What? Why?"

His steel red eyes betrayed how he felt. They were red with anger. He opened his mouth but he closed it.

His fingers gently held my chain and slowly angled me downwards. Within moments I felt his lips on my forehead making me close my eyes on the impact.

. . .

He removed them and I blinked repeatedly to get back to reality. That felt so nice.

His thumb caressed my cheek bone, "that answer is not important. What is important is that you will never suffer like that ever again."

He placed his head against mine, making me close my eyes again, "Never."

I believed him.

I nodded against his head. I really liked that and for the first time I appreciated someone touching me. His touch brought calmness and protection to me. I felt as if nothing could get to me when he was at my side and even with my father I had never felt like that.

I pulled apart and he looked at me with a soothed expression, he was no longer angry.

I did love him.

His face was right in front of me. Even though he was bent down on one knee in front of me and I was sitting on the stairs he still towered me. It warmed me all over.

I looked at his lips. They look so beautiful and full. A fleeting thought came to my mind but I got it and acted on it.

This time I bridged the distance between us and placed my lips on his. Giving him a small kiss I pulled back and said, "Thank you, for everything. For coming into my life and making me feel truly empowered."

I smiled and kissed him again, before standing up and walking up the stairs. This time he did not follow me which is why the moment he was out of my side as and up the stairs like a little girl, blushing and giggling all the way.

After that when I finally found myself at the stage where anyone could see me I straightened my back once again and got rid of the hunch that I had acquired days prior. I held my change slightly up in the air like I had been taught for most years of my life and ascended the stairs into my room where I found Anna.

She was smiling at me.

"Why are you smiling?" I asked her, a bit suspicious of a sudden change in attitude. What was it that she was smiling about?

She shook her head. "I have prepared the bath for you. And put some amazing smelling oils in it. Would you like to go?"

The bath sounded nice. It was going to be the first one in days.
