The Princess's Dangerous Vampire Mate-Chapter 236: A queen’s will - I

"Tristan what if he dies? What if he dies and you end up sacrificing nothing because people will always fear you!" I threw my hands up in the air with the frustration I felt. This was all going to be for nothing.

He didn’t say anything, making me yell name out in frustration again, "Tristan would you say something?!"

He huffed and finally bestowed the blessing of his words. "You have to understand the disk cannot continue. If I do not punish my friend today there are many others who will take advantage of the fact that people will continue to fear us forever. I know for a fact that the field will never erase itself from our lives, especially theirs but what I want is peace."

I stared at him before chuckling. "What Kingdom has ever had peace inside it? There is always peace when there is stability and stability takes time other than that if you want to talk about peace there is never peace, there is just the illusion of peace. The ruling emotion is always fear."

I shook my head as I looked away from him. " And here I saw that I was the one who was naive." I muttered under my breath. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

I gasped at the sudden touch on my body and when I was turned around only to face him. Tristan was too close. His eyes were right in front of mine as he bent down and I could feel my breath hitting his face.

I gulped and tried to step away from his overbearing presence but his hands held my shoulders making it impossible for me to step away.

"Did you just call me naive?" He whispered I felt a shudder run down my body. His whisper made me tingle everywhere.

"I. . .I. " I did not know what to say. Did I call him that?

He chuckled and bent down to the point where he let’s go next to my ear, "you have no idea what I can do Genevieve. So, do not call me that next time or ever."

The image of Lysar being hung upside down from a ceiling with his beaten and battered body swinging left to right along with the wounds of bite marks on him immediately came to my mind when he . . He was wrong. Tristan had no idea that I had an idea of how far he could go.

I was brought back to reality when I felt his soft lips kiss my cheek. I froze immediately and did not move even slightly.

He pulled back and his grip on my shoulders loosened. "I feel better," he murmured and I nodded without understanding his words.

How did he feel better when I was feeling conflicted? My body was giving me so many new feelings that I was not even aware of and he was feeling better?

It was then when Tristan’s expression returned a step back before walking to the room he had come out of earlier. "You should go and rest, Genevieve. It has been decided what will happen to Aron. There is nothing that cannot change it." After, that he Turned around and walked into the room leaving me alone, standing there.

I waited for him to come back but he did not. I continued to stare at the The entryway of the room hoping that I would see him again but I did not.

Why would he not come back?

Closing my eyes I tried to place myself in his position. How torn could I find myself to be.

Without waiting anymore I charged into the room that he had disappeared into only to find him standing there facing the window.

I moved closer to him and hug him from behind placing my cheek on his back. "It does not have to be this tough Tristan. We can find a way. We can find a better way."

"What way?" He said and I felt him keep a hand over mine. "I cannot ignore it otherwise what has been done by Aron will be happening again."

And how would that happen?

I pulled away and he turned around after a few moments. "But punishing just Aron will not be suffice. From what I have heard he was tempted into this, what if someone else is too? What is a week from now the same thing happens?"

He closed his eyes. He had thought about it too. "I do not know what I would do then. To be honest I barely know what to do now. A few things was supposed to be set in stone and they are."

"Stones can be moved when needed to," I told him as an idea came to my mind, "stones must be removed from the way because it is necessary and when it is necessary you find a weight to remove the heaviest ones."

He narrowed his eyes at my words and I smiled. "What is that supposed to mean?"

"You do understand that fear will always be in the mind of people?" He nodded and I continued, "which is why we need to make sure that both humans and Vampire have fear of wrongdoings."

A sudden realisation came to him about what I was saying before he shook his head softly, "you want to punish them both? Do you think I have no thought about it?"

I shrugged. " Maybe not in the way that I have." I presented and took his hand in mine. I was about to do something that he had done to me numerous times before.

"Do not doubt yourself Tristan," I repeated and his eyes squinted, "believe in yourself and you will find a way."

"Repeating my words back to me, Genevieve. How very intelligent of you," he praised in sarcasm get a smile came to my face.

"I know," I winked but then sobered up as I said my next words, "but you need to believe in me Tristan. Maybe we can find a middle ground."
