The egocentric King didn't take a second to close the gap between him and King Dragomir.
Adeline had only blinked and Reginald was already choking her father while showing his elongated fangs.
And he snarled like the animal he was, leaving Dragomir bamboozled, "That is where you are wrong, you old geezer. I am completely armed."
"And so is he." Reginald heard a voice coming out of thin air and something unseen grabbed his hand that he was using to choke Dragomir.
"What the hel–" before Reginald could even complete his sentence and before Dragomir could register what was happening right in front of his eyes, Reginald was sent flying.
Reginald's back hit the stone wall of that meeting room and a huge crack appeared there.
Seeing her brother being thrown into the air by something unseen, Rebekah also went into defensive mode and bared her fangs.
Adeline clasped her mouth with her palm and screamed in her mind, "No, no, no, no, no… this should not be happening."
Dragomir's jaw and eyes were wide open upon witnessing the horrific form of the brother and sister. He was in utter disbelief that he was in the presence of such heinous creatures who were successfully disguising themselves as humans.
"Monsters!" a soft gasp escaped Dragomir's lips before he sat down on the sofa with a thud.
"Father!" Adeline inhaled sharply and held her father's arm to make sure that he was not having another heart attack because of the shock.
Reginald got up and dusted off his clothes as if nothing had happened. He took an attacking position and he screamed madly, "Who the hell did that? Don't hide and attack like a coward! If you have any guts then show yourself and fight like a man."
An amused chuckle resounded throughout the meeting room and everyone in the room heard a passing whisper, "Gladly."
A gust of wind hit Reginald's face and sent his red hair floating behind his back. Reginald saw a swirling gust of mist as though a tornado was about to form right in the middle of the room.
"What is happening? Is it Theodore?" Dragomir asked Adeline in a whisper while massaging his neck.
"Yes," Adeline confirmed while her eyes were glued on the mist.
And as the mist settled down, everyone in the room could see a tall and handsome man adorned in black clothes. Theodore put in extra dramatics just to tease that vampire who wanted to steal his girl.
Rebekah's jaw dropped down to the floor upon seeing the most handsome man that she had ever encountered in her life. And even Reginald's eyes were stuck on Theodore's perfect face for a second.
Theodore looked at Reginald with his piercing eyes and smiled. "Hello, doggy!" Theodore pointed at his teeth and mocked Reginald, "You got a little something stuck in your teeth right there… a little overconfidence."
Reginald was enraged to hear that insult from Theodore. He hardened his face and swung his fist right at Theodore's face at his vampire speed.
But Theodore just moved his head and dodged that punch like nothing. "Too slow!"
Reginald snarled again and threw a barrage of punches at that man.
However, none of those punches matched with Theodore. Theodore calmly moved around his body like he was doing some kind of exercise routine and dodged every attack.
Reginald was starting to get agitated because he was feeling like a loser in front of everyone.
Theodore, on the other hand, was so relaxed that he even introduced himself to Reginald amidst all that, "Oh, where are my manners. I forgot to introduce myself to you."
When Reginald punched him, Theodore grabbed Reginald's fist and opened it to give him a handshake, and said, "I'm that same random commoner that you desperately wanted to meet. The name's Theodore. And I will soon be Adeline's husband."
"What?" Reginald paused his futile attacks to process what he just heard. He pulled his hand from Theodore's grasp and asked, "What are you? You're no human."
"Whatever I am, it is none of your concern." Theodore gave a flick on Reginald's forehead which was enough to make Reginald skid back a little.
Theodore gave an intimidating smirk and then ordered in an aggressive voice, "Enough with the bickering. Now that you know that I'm far stronger and faster than you, why don't you accept your defeat? Nobody needs to get hurt today because of your ego. Do as King Dragomir asked. Take your dogs and leave."
"Not without defeating you, tricky bastard!" Reginald slapped himself on the chest and challenged Theodore, "I know you are a dark sorcerer. Stop with your trickery and fight me without using your tricks."
It was taking every strand of willpower for Theodore to stop himself from crushing that overconfident kid just because Reginald happened to be out of his jurisdiction.
Thankfully to Theodore, Rebekah instantly ran to her brother's side and wrapped him in a chokehold, "Reggie! Stop being a fanatic! Come back to your senses!"
Rebekah already knew that her brother was going to be in great trouble if he provoked that man any further. "Can't you see that he is far stronger than you? Why do you have to insist on marrying Princess Adeline when her marriage has already been fixed? You can get any other girls you want."
"But I want her!" Reginald grabbed Rebekah's arm and flipped her over to hit Theodore.
Theodore was caught off-guard and both he and Rebekah were sent flying with great force. Both of them crashed on the door, causing the door to be broken into pieces and fall apart.
"Theodore!" Adeline was shocked to see that Reginald was powerful enough to do that. Adeline wanted to run to Theodore but her father already looked pale and she couldn't leave his side.
"Argh!" Rebekah winced in pain as shards of the wood had pierced through her thigh and very close to her chest.
And as Theodore was below Rebekah, several pieces of wood had managed to pierce him as well. But he didn't care about himself and wanted to help Rebekah as she seemed to be in great pain.
Rebekah was still on Theodore, so he gently shifted out and helped Rebekah pull out those woods, "I'm going to pull the out the stakes. I'm sure you will heal."
The guards of both the Kingdom who were standing outside could now see everything that was happening. They were all puzzled to see Theodore. And since none of the Kings had given out orders yet, they were not sure if they were supposed to intervene or not.
And without caring that his sister was hurt, Reginald shouted at his Royal Guards, "What are you looking at, you fools? That man is an intruder and he is trying to kill the Princess.. Pin him down and beat him to a pulp."
