Her Soul and His Blood novel Chapter 26

With lightning speed Lord Augustin vanished into darkness, something is wrong with him. I approached the priest and held his hand and helped him to stand.

"Thank you." He said with his metallic voice. But his face turned pale when he saw my fangs. He took his sword and waved it but before it could hurt me, I stopped him.

"I am not a bad guy, I came to help you." I said softly.

" help us?"

"Will the king die? I am Mr.Peterson, I obey his orders, I refused, most of us, because we cant kill these innocent people. But he wanted to kill them and feed on them. He is a cruel king who cannot be stopped but you are able to stop him now." My voice never gave a clue of treacherous.

"No, he wont die, he is stronger than we think. All this cannot kill him, see this necklace, this is called the Red stone, even this is not able to kill him even after running my sword through his heart. He has some power which is protecting him. But I have a plan for him." The priest said.

" I will be glad to help you to save these peoples, Strange man." I said politely.

" call me Mr. Andrews."

We spoke for more than hours and I went back to the castle in search of Lord Augustin. I saw him sitting on his throne. But there was no sign of being injured, he had self healing power.The power that I never knew that he had.

"My Lord." I bowed myself to him.He raised from his throne and walked towards me.

"Where were you Peterson?" His voice had a terror in it.His eyes were back to normal now from that red colored one.

"My Lord I was planning to protect the prince's." I hidden the fear which was traveling throughout my body. He calmed down, may be because he believed what I said just now.He motioned me to go.

I went to Hance's and Lance's room, those two were playing hide and seek. They approached me when they saw me.

"Kids, lets play a game ?" I said in a childish way leaning towards them.They nodded their head and sat silently in the bed. The kids was watching me doing all these stuffs. I lightened the torch and put the fire on the curtain. The fire started to spread soon, the kids jumped on the bed clapping their hands seeing the glow spreading in their room.

"The one who stays in the bed for long will win." I whispered on their ears. I went out of the bed , turning behind to see the kids sitting calmly to win the game.I poured the water which was in my pocket, making a circle around the room and left the room.
