He was trying his best to hide his evil smirk as he watched Everard getting thrown around mercilessly and getting beaten to a pulp.

‘I didn’t even need to do anything,’ he was standing in a corner of the hall, enjoying the scene and applauding in his mind. And he was thinking to himself, ‘He did everything himself. The goddess is great. I wanted to take my revenge. I was just thinking of something small, like making him piss himself or something along the line to make him feel as humiliated as me.’

He couldn’t help but chuckle at this point, ‘But this is far beyond my expectation. I bet that pathetic King will never forget this humiliation in his life. I mean... I would probably jump off a cliff and dive into ice-cold water just to freeze my brain if someone beat me up at my own celebratory ball. Fucking loser!’

While he was enjoying watching Everard getting smashed into a pie, at the same time, there was someone who was worried to death.

Ruby was still pressing her back against the cold pillar while covering the lower half of her face with both of her palms.

She wasn’t just scared because someone who she deeply cared for was getting the beating of his life. She was also terrified because the one who was beating him up was the same person who had given her lifelong trauma. It was the same person who she was running away from. The same person who had almost succeeded in killing her.

‘Oh dear god! What should I do?’ she thought to herself as the space in front of her was getting more crowded, given that everyone was running towards the corners to save themselves from the clash between the two dangerous people.

Through the gaps between the legs of the crowd, she watched Everard getting multiple hits on his face. She was horrified to see how Everard wasn’t able to defend himself at all. He was just taking fist after fist.

.....

‘I should go and save him,’ Ruby thought to herself as her heart clenched like hell. She was desperate to put an end to the fight. She couldn’t bear to see how much pain Everard was in. She could hear his painful groans, and she could almost feel the pain that he was feeling.

She staggeringly pushed herself up on her feet while taking the help of the strong pillar behind her. Her legs were trembling like a leaf. Though she was trying her best to hide how she was feeling about the presence of Caspian right in front of her eyes, her body couldn’t be lied to. It feared that monster like it was supposed to.

Ruby took a few deep breaths in. She looked at how two other vampires were trying their best to hold and contain the monster King. She then looked at Caspian’s back with determination. ‘I should run at the top of my speed. Then I have one chance. Just one. I should bite his neck as hard as I can.’

She breathed in again and nodded to herself, ‘That should put an end to the fight. Even if it means that I will die in the process. Now, I don’t have any more time to delay. Or else, that monster will kill him. I would never be able to forgive myself if that happened... No! That’s not going to happen. Not on my watch.’

Ruby closed her eyes and tried to calm herself by heaving a deep breath one last time.

However, when she was diverting her mind from fearing death by trying her best to calm herself before jumping for a sneak attack, her sharp ears happened to pick something up.

“He deserves that for kissing someone else’s wife. If it was my wife who he kissed, I would have cut his throat by now.”

Ruby abruptly opened her eyes. Her palms, which she didn’t even know when she had fisted, slowly loosened on their own. Her throat went dry in an instant, and so did her will to jump in and attack the very creature she feared the most to save the person who she cared about.

And when she heard that man’s voice, she wondered if she had heard it right or if it was her ears that were playing tricks on her.

She gulped to moisten her dry throat. She decided to double-check what she heard and then tapped on the shoulder of a lady who was standing right in front of her.

And when that lady turned around, she asked, “Umm... Can you tell me why they are fighting?”

The lady raised her brows as if she was listening to something very amusing. “Didn’t you witness what happened earlier?” she asked in a little excited tone.

Ruby shook her head, not sure if she wanted to hear what happened.

But before she could prepare her mind, she heard the lady whispering, “King Everard kissed the Queen of Sorvando. I think he fancies her. But alas...” that woman giggled and then continued, “The Queen’s husband was very unhappy about it. I mean, who wouldn’t be? So, look what that kiss led to.”

The moment Ruby heard that it was Queen Anastasia who Everard had kissed, she felt as though her whole body had been dipped into icy cold water and then thrown into the pit of burning fire. She began sweating profusely.

She felt as if her whole world had been turned upside down.

She drooped her shoulders and thought to herself as the tears began to stream down her cheeks like an unstoppable waterfall, ‘Of course. He fancies someone as beautiful and as kind as Queen Anastasia. I could never compete with her, not even in my wildest dreams. I was just a mere case that he took pity on... His distraction for a while.’

She laughed through her pain for having dreams that were beyond her reach. She then mixed with the group of people who were running out of the hall. She slowly walked down the corridor while thinking to herself, ‘At least it’s all clear now. He is someone who I cannot even dream of.’

She heaved a deep sigh and stared blankly at the long corridor ahead of her. ‘This all ends now. I should disappear from his life.’

While she was lost in her thoughts, Ruby suddenly happened to bump into someone. “Excuse me,” she mumbled in a breathless whisper.

“Ah, it’s alright.” The man looked at Ruby’s lifeless face. And he asked, “Why is a pretty woman like you looking so sad? Is there anything I could do for you?”

Ruby initially thought of ignoring that man and kept on walking. However, she changed her mind soon because she wanted to get out of the castle as soon as she could. She stopped on her track and asked that man, “I would be grateful if you could give me a ride.”
