Love Agreement With The King

It had been two more weeks, John kept practicing and training daily, sometimes he even increased his practice two to three times per day in order to get better results and in case the poisoned animals could fight.

Some creatures of Kratez got suspicious about the increasing lack of animals to haunt and although John was daily sending each family animals he bought from the village's farms many of them still complained and asked how all of a sudden animals were missing.

John tried to drift the attention away and make up some excuses by stating it was probably for winter and animals hibernating. Yet, despite his best efforts, many creatures didn't believe John and forced him to tell them the truth.

When they heard the news they were shocked yet not surprised as they imagined something was happening, they offered John to help him and promised him to keep the secret.

Luckily most of the supernatural creatures hated vampires after what they had done years ago so they didn't think twice before they decided to side with John.

John's army now counted about 40 creatures, which was a vast number but not enough to stand a chance against the snakes. They needed to be at least 100 creatures before they could stand a chance against the demons, Sharon, and whoever the protector was.

Roselyn's belly was slightly bloated and she had spent all those weeks resting in bed, as usual, checked by maids as if they were her guardian angels.

Daniel, Abigail's son, was growing faster than they imagined, he already learned how to walk, although he crawled most of the time and had to cling to the furniture to be able to stand up.

Abigail wasn't craving much blood and was successfully keeping herself rational rather than instinctive. When she got craving she would usually lock herself in her room and focus on her baby, she thought she had to resist the craving for him and after few minutes she successfully controlled herself.

John was walking through the nearby land of supernatural creatures, he rarely visited that land because it was owned by a werewolf he never got along very well with.

Despite that, he needed more allies to attack the snakes and he was the only one who could help him.

On the surrounding of that land stood few werewolves guards who as soon as they saw John reaching them frowned their forehead and took a step forward him stretching their arms to stop him.

"John Waldburg, what are you doing here?" one of the guards inquired glowering at John.

"I have to talk with Simon." John replied taking a step closer to them as if he wasn't scared to fight them in case they wouldn't step back and let him in.

"About what?" The second guard asked knitting his eyebrows down and groaning at John who had taken a second step forward.

"About some invaders. I'd rather talk about those things with him. So, let me in." John replied slightly annoyed by their resistance.

"I am afraid I can't. You're not allowed in unless we know what is your main purpose and why you want to talk to our leader." One of the guards said as he tapped over his hand with his sharp stick.

John scoffed, taking one more step forward, now only a few meters afar from them.

John revealed his long sharp fangs and claws and groaned as the guards charged to attack him.

"Let him in!" A new guar appeared from behind right in time before the fight.

The two guards in front of John halted as they slowly turned around.

The guard who interrupted them intervened once again to confirm his version, "Simon said he is allowed in."

The guards hesitated but after few instants, they opened the gates allowing John to walk inside.

Their land was pretty well, it was full of vegetation, grown-up plans and creatures seemed to get along quite well sharing food peacefully. It reminded John of when he used to rule on Kratez years ago before he had to move to the village.

The guard lead John to a huge house surrounded by other guards, after receiving consent from the guard John walked inside.

He climbed the stairs to reach a huge living room, in the back of the room stood a huge wooden throne on where Simon sat.

Simon gestured to John to walk closer to him, John nodded. "Hello, Simon." He said, his voice echoed all around the room, he speeded toward Simon and in a fraction of a second he was standing in front of him.

Simon tilted his head to the side, "you got faster, John. What's the occasion?"

John hinted a smile, he cleared his voice.

"Kratez was invaded by shape-shifting demons and they are affecting all the animals. I don't know what to do but I need your help to send them where they came." John hissed as he sighed, he made sure to stare at Simon straight in his eyes as looking away was a sign of defeat and weakness between leaders.

Simon nodded, almost as if he expected him to visit for that reason.

"As I thought…" he whispered before he took a long breath. "They invaded our land too, I defeated some of them but we have missing animals too and creatures are getting out of control for the hunger." He added standing up from his chair and walking closer to John.

"What is your plan?" Simon asked, after checking the doors were locked and nobody was looking for them.

John waited few seconds to think before he traveled his gaze back to him, "You have to give me your word I can trust you first." John said with his usual hoarse voice.

Simon chuckled, "you haven't changed, have you? You don't trust anyone yet." He commented as he stretched his hand for John to shake.

John smirked, "I will never change or trust people easier.." John shook his hand and they both smiled.
