Chapter 26
(Meeting Him Again)
Two weeks Later
Vampic Fall~~
Seated on their respective seats, the elders of Vampic Fall waited patiently for their newly crowned king to join them in the meeting. They had been waiting for the past hour, with no sigh of Hunter.
Back in the king’s chambers, Hunter could be seen making out with Amber, and just immediately, Jezebel barged in.
“What the hell, Hunter, the elders are waiting, and you are here banging this b!tch” She yelled, infuriated at the sight
Amber quickly tried to cover up but Hunter was too pissed to do so. He stood up with rage walking towards her as she took steps backward.
“How dare you barge in here without orders, where are your manners” he yelled as Jezebel flinched, but the anger in her eyes still made her stand her ground.
“I left my manners the day you chose to marry this b!tch” She resorted
“Shut the f**k up, she isn’t a b!tch, she is my wife and your queen. So get that stick into your brain that I won’t tolerate any disrespect from you despite being my sister. Get out of here” he seethed.
Amber could be seen, smiling from behind as she watched the brother and sister quarrel. It was such an amusing sight, but the fact that Hunter failed to cover up is really pissing her off. Why will he decide to stand n@ked in front of his sister, Huhn, she thought
“You are doing the wrong thing Hunter, and you know it”
“Address me as ‘Your highness’” Hunter snapped
“Huhn” she scoffed, giving Amber hard glares as she stomped her feet out of the chamber.
“Gosh” Hunter muttered, rubbing his temple as he got back in bed. Amber tried touching him, but he shook her hands off.
“Later…” he stated, getting up to wear his cloth
Angrily, Amber flared up
“Why” she asked
“If we continue, then the elders will be kept waiting. You won’t want me to tell your dad that I was making out with you to have missed the meeting” He winked, while she rolled her eyes.
“You should get back on time, I’m missing you already” She pouted. He bent forward to k**s her before leaving.
“I will” he muttered.
On getting to the palace, the whole elders stood up and bowed in reverence to him.
“Your Highness” they all muttered in unison
Hunter walked majestically to his throne before giving a response.
“Good day Elders of Vampic Fall…sorry for the late coming” he stated without a bit of remorse. They all nodded, even if it is considered as disrespectful, they still won’t say a word.

Egeus was mostly pissed, when Orpheus, the late king was still on the throne, he doesn’t tolerate lateness, so he is always early in every meeting organized. Hunter has proven to be proud and will likely come any time he wishes. For goodness sake, they had been here for more than an hour, but he acted like he didn’t do anything wrong by keeping his elders waiting.
“So…I heard you all wanted to see me, for what…if I may ask” Hunter stated when no one was ready to talk.
“Humhum, your Highness, we all greet you. It’s been two weeks after your coronation, and I must commend that you have done well for a starter. But there is still a lot for you to do.” Egeus stated as the others nodded in approval
“What exactly are you talking about?”
“The kingdom of Ricadua, your father signed a treaty with them which is about to be ignored. Every month a certain amount of gold is sent to their treasury, as a sign of peace between the two kingdoms; but we haven’t made any payment since two months before the king, your father passed away. The king of Ricadua didn’t want to complicate things due to the king’s frail health then. But now that everything has been set to place, I think it’s time we go back to the way it used to be, or else there will be war between the two kingdoms.” Egeus explained
“How many grams of gold” Hunter asked with a look of displeasure
“About 30.5 grams” the elder in charge answer
“Oh my….damn…that freaky much” Hunter exclaimed
“That’s the only way we can pay a long-time debt owed by our forefathers. The kingdom of Ricadua had been good to us; they laid down the lives of their soldiers to help us fight against the intruding humans in the past life, due the long-time war between humans and vampires. The resources spent to tackle the humans; affected their economy so badly, that they had to struggle to live.”
“So you mean that we are now the ones to pay for their loss” Hunter gritted, already pissed at the topic being brought up.
“The aligns had been made for a long time, we can’t end it now until the debt is fully paid” Another elder responded as Egeus nodded in approval.
“No…that’s not happening, not in my reign. We can’t be wasting such resources when our economy is still struggling to stand”
“Having a weak economy is better than losing our lives and properties to war. And whereas our economy isn’t weak, we are rich in gold and other natural resources. We can’t be poor even if we remit up to 50 grams every month.” Egeus explained
“I won’t hear of that Egeus, as I said earlier, not in my reign” Hunter seethed.
“But your Highness, there is gonna be war. The current king of Ricadua won’t take this lightly with us”
“There won’t be any war. We need to speak up for ourselves sometimes. I’m gonna draft out tactics, we ain’t paying anything to anyone”
“Erm..i think his highness is right…you see, this kingdom has been asking for too much, we can’t just be their puppet all the time. I’m in support of this sire” Emmett noted with a wide smile as Hunter smirked.
The other elders were confused.
“What do you mean Emmett, you know the law, and we have been doing this for a long time, you know the repercussion of stopping..”
“I don’t care…the king is right” Emmett stated, as the others heaved a sigh of disappointment.

Crystal High
London~~
“I think we have a new student. I heard some student talking about meeting him in the principal’s office, they mentioned how cute he is” Rose muttered as she walked side by side with Emerald into the class room.
Emerald who wasn’t interested in the talk only nodded her head and kept on walking.
The class was already filled with students are they kept on talking about the new guy. Those who haven’t seen him were curious to know how he looks like. The guys were already feeling insecured despite not setting their eyes on him yet.
“Can you see, there is truly a new student; gosh I really wanna meet him” Rose muttered with glee as Emerald rolled her eyes. She seemed to be the only one not interested in the new guy.
Just as they were still talking, the teacher stepped in, and everyone comported themselves.
“Good day class”
“Good day Mrs. Webster” They all chorus as she nodded
“Well, before we begin the class, we have a new student among us, and I would like to introduce him to you all.” She stated, and all the girls, except Emerald, were already blushing hard.
“You can come in” She motioned to the young guy as he stepped in. The girls almost lost their breath, and the guys couldn’t help but stare.
“Hi, I’m Dave. It’s nice to meet you all” D’Arcy muttered on entering the class, but there was silence everywhere until a girl spoke up.
“Oh my gawd, he is so cute…” She stated unconsciously, as the whole class laughed at her
D’ Arcy smirked
“Ok enough class, he is glad to meet you all, so you should also accept him as a member of this class. And erm…Emerald, will you do well to show him around during your leisure period? Yes you will” the teacher replied before she could respond.
“What!! Why does it have to be me, I’m not the class rep” She stated, glaring hard at D’ Arcy who only smiled.
“It doesn’t matter, it’s you and no one else. And Dave…”
“Yes ma’am”
“Go take your seat beside her”
“What??” Emerald screamed
“Anything the problem, Miss Lush” the teacher asked
“No ma…” Emerald replied
“Fine…so today we are gonna be talking about….”
“Hey…” D’ Arcy greeted as he got to the seat beside Emerald
“Don’t talk to me” She snapped, placing her head on the table.
“Hi handsome” Rose greeted from beside Emerald, as D’ Arcy returned her greetings with a smile.
