The Devil's Warrior Queen-Chapter 501: The Silver Haired Man
Chapter 501: The Silver Haired Man
Anne woke up from her slumber in the middle of the night, she had barely eaten anything the whole day and she heard her stomach rumble loudly from hunger.
She would have rang the maids to bring her food but It was already midnight and she didn’t want to disturb anyone’s peaceful sleep, she knew how annoying it could be when your sleep was been interfered with.
She rolled out of the bed and walked towards the door, she opened the door quietly and tiptoed down the hallway, searching for the kitchen.
The hallway was dark but her movements triggered the light sensors which lit the way for her. ’It shouldn’t be too hard finding the kitchen’ she thought to herself as she roamed her eyes around.
She was glad there were no guards present, it would be less embarrassing to sneak into the kitchen with no one watching her. Only the room doors had large designed, double doors while other places in the Castle had small double doors and the plainness of the doors made her aware it wasn’t someone’s room, so she checked the small, double doors looking for the kitchen until she found it.
She sighed in relief when she found the kitchen and she immediately went in, locking the door behind her and the kitchen immediately lit up from triggering the light sensor.
She opened the large fridge to find food and she was greeted by the sight of mouth watering snacks, pastries and drinks of all kinds. From what Larisa had told her about vampires and demons, they didn’t seem to eat human food, so she could only guess it was meant for Larisa and the maids.
She took a tray and mounted pastries and drinks on it before turning around to leave. As soon as she did, she met a pair of grey eyes staring at her, obviously in confusion and wonderment, but her lower mouth dropped in awe as her eyes met the ethereal beauty standing in front of her, she stared at his gorgeous silver hair that was tied in a knot and she wondered if they were real, but her doubts seized to exist when she saw his grey eyebrows and lashes.
Larisa had already told her all about the Emperials so she was aware of who the silver haired man was from the way Larisa had described them.
She was a tall girl but somehow, he still towered above her with his tall, masculine figure, everything about him was screaming gorgeousness from his pale skin to his reddish purple lips that she wanted to kiss. She had met a lot of handsome men but seeing the silver haired half vampire made their looks seem invalid.
Zion was walking down the hall towards his room after taking a bit of fresh air, he had been feeling depressed and overwhelmed with everything that had been going on lately.
First Onyx, his mother figure died in the war, which broke his spirit and now, Avian was steaming up another war, trying to do something that could endanger everyone and Empire D if his plans failed, he was trying to contain a higher evil to contain a lesser one but neither of the two evils were in anyway welcoming, so he could quite understand Avian but he felt empathetic towards Larisa after Lothaire would be gone.
He was on his way back to his room after feeling a bit relieved when he heard a faint clatter coming from the kitchen, he wanted to walk away but the urge to check it out was too strong so he decided to satisfy his curiosity.
He walked slowly towards the kitchen, hearing a faint heartbeat coming from inside. He opened the door slowly to be greeted by the sight of a blonde haired woman, rummaging through the fridge with a tray on her hand which she put the pastries and drinks on, he watched her in silence till she turned around to meet his gaze which left her awestruck and the feeling was mutual because he felt the same way.
He drank in her features as she faced him, she had golden blonde hair that looked like it was kissed by the sun, it stopped right below her waist line, her jade blue eyes were large and alluring with dark thick lashes above it.
His gaze dropped to her red full lips and finally his gaze dropped to her body, she was tall, but she barely reached his shoulders, she had a slim body with beautiful curves, she was too gorgeous for a mere human but after satisfying his curiosity, it was time to tear his eyes off her, which seemed almost impossible to do.
His grey eyes narrowed to the blonde that still stood frozen in silence as she stared at him with obvious carnal desires running through her mind and he pressed his lips in a thin line.
Vampires were respectful and poised creatures, so he had always been a charming gentleman, plus Onyx raising him made him treat women respectfully and not in an offensive manner in even the slightest way.
"Excuse me, who are you miss?" Zion’s deep voice rang in her ears and her skin tingled, if she could, she would immediately hook up with him.
He seemed young, like in his early twenties compared to Lothaire who looked more mature, but she knew he was past that age as he was a vampire, although, he was still considered a kid since he wasn’t as old as the other Emperials, he was only forty two and in the vampire age, a hundred years is when they’re considered adults, so the vampires all saw him as an immature child.
Anne cleared her throat before replying.
"I’m Anne, I’m Larisa’s friend and I’m staying here with her, it’s a long story...more like an escape.." She trailed off, seeing she was obviously confusing him with her explanation of who she was as he creased his grey brows together.
"Oh, I see...if you were hungry, you should have just rang the maids, there’s a small bell connected to their quarters." Zion explained as his eyes narrowed to the tray she was holding and her face flushed in embarrassment which soon disappeared as quickly as it came, she didn’t see why she should be embarrassed about eating food, besides she was doing the maids a favour.
"Oh, I know, I just didn’t want to disturb anyone." Anne quickly chipped in and he nodded his head.
"Welcome to Empire D, I hope you enjoy your stay here." Zion said with a heart melting smile and she almost drooled.
Zion wondered how Lothaire agreed to take a human with him to Empire D, probably because of Larisa and no doubt she knew their secrets if she was standing there. It was a static rule that no human should ever have knowledge about their kind living among them in Empire D, but here was one, going through their fridge in the middle of the night.
"Thank you, I most certainly will, wanna escort me to my room?" Zion’s mind drifted from his thoughts when he heard the melodious voice of Anne that seemed to stir something inside of him, it was a strange feeling but it felt good.
"Escort you?" He repeated with slightly wide eyes, he knew that she was trying to seduce him, it was obvious in her movements, her voice and her expression.
"Yeah, why not? We can hook up after I’m done eating." She said casually and he fluttered his lashes as he scratched the nape of his neck, he felt his bulge slowly getting bigger and he tried hard to compose himself. How could she be so shameless? They had only met a couple of minutes ago and she was throwing herself at a stranger’ he thought to himself.
"Excuse me miss, I’ll be leaving to my room, goodnight." He stated firmly and without waiting for her reply, he walked out, leaving her knit her brows in disbelief. ’wasn’t she sexy enough?’ she thought to herself with rolling eyes and with a displeased sigh, she silently left to her room.
Zion walked with inhumane speed to his room and immediately slammed the door shut before placing a palm on his forehead in frustration. Who the heck was the shameless and lewd woman? She had stirred up something inside of him and he wasn’t sure what, as he was unfamiliar with the strange but exciting feeling.
