The vampire guards didn't immediately respond to the order from their King because no matter what he was saying, everyone could clearly see that Theodore was not trying to kill Rebekah but was helping her instead.
Reginald became even more furious when the guards were standing outside the broken door like statues.
He ran towards Theodore and Rebekah himself and picked the still-healing sister in his arms while screaming, "How dare of you to hurt my sister?"
Rebekah was also burning with anger by that madness of her brother. She slapped him across the face and screamed, "You're the one who hurt me, you arsehole! Put me down before I lose my mind!"
Reginald gritted his teeth and was about to throw his sister again.
Theodore sensed it and he had enough of that vampire throwing a temper tantrum like a loser. In the blink of an eye, Theodore took Rebekah from his arm, put her down on the sofa, and went back to give a tight punch to Reginald.
"Enough!" Theodore's loud voice resounded throughout the meeting room as well as outside.
Reginald was sent flying again and slammed against a painting on the wall. His nose started to bleed because of the punch from Theodore.
Reginald held his nose with his palm and looked up but the bleeding didn't stop. And he barely managed to give a 'threat' to Theodore, "How dare you hit a King like this? I'm going to wipe everyone out from Wyverndale's face! I'll kill you all!"
"No, I will kill you, you rabid dog. Don't provoke me any further because I might just do that." Theodore's eyes had already turned into their devilish color. His face no longer reflected the charm of his but the terrifying devil that he tried hard to keep at bay.
Theodore's back was facing towards Adeline and Dragomir. And that was when Adeline saw all the pieces of wood sticking out on his back.
She felt a stinging pain in her heart seeing Theodore hurt. She would have probably panicked even more if it wasn't for Theodore's black clothes which were concealing the blood.
"Let me haul your arse back to where it should be." Theodore's growl echoed as he slowly inched forward while thinking of teleporting that troublesome King to his own Palace and throwing him there.
But the vampire guards assumed that Theodore was going to hurt Reginald. They felt that their King's life was in danger and like a breeze, they entered the meeting room to guard their King and attack the threat.
The moment Adeline felt several gusts of wind in the room, she knew what was going on. "No, no, no! This is getting worse!"
The Royal Guards of Wyverndale were left utterly baffled when all the enemies vanished from before their eyes. Before they could think what could have happened, they heard Adeline's voice, "Guards! Protect the King!"
A squad of the Royal Guards instantly marched inside the room to find Dragomir and Adeline in the opposite corner of where the fight between Theodore and the vampire guards had already begun. And they immediately formed a human barrier in front of the King and the Princess.
The other guards of Wyverndale who were outside were now in battle mode and were guarding the door.
Adeline had called the guards because there were too many vampires jumping at Theodore at once. While he would be occupied by a few, she didn't want the other vampires to hold her or the King as a hostage to gain leverage over Theodore.
"What is going on?" A Royal Guard asked as his eyeballs were frantically trying to catch those who were fighting at the front.
Another guard tightened his grip on his sword and shield, and replied all confused and scared, "I have no idea… But they all look like monsters." He whispered while pointing his brows at one of the vampires who was standing still, "Look at that one's teeth!"
Adeline, who was listening to their conversation couldn't blame them for being scared of something which they had never expected to see in their life.
She stepped closer to the guards and whispered an order in one's ear, "If they try and attack, either behead them or pierce right on their hearts. Don't hesitate to kill them if they attack. And don't speak too loudly because they have a sharp hearing. Pass the message along."
That guard nodded and did as Adeline said.
Dragomir wondered what his daughter had said to them but he was too busy taking in deep breaths and exhaling in order to calm his old heart. Though Theodore had taken him to the fountain to cure him, it seemed like his illness had flared again.
After everyone got the order, the humans in the room were trying to keep up with the fight but their eyes were barely able to see what was going on. All they could see was a passing blur, and hear banging noises and cries every now and then.
Rebekah, on the other hand, was still laying down on the sofa and was waiting for the wound on her thighs to heal. It was pretty deep. Though she was sitting away from that fight, her eyes were filled with horror.
The predators had become the prey.
And this was probably the first time that Rebekah feared someone this much. She was clasping her hands together and was anxiously thinking, "Just what is that man? How is he stronger than the purebloods? And how is he fighting so many of them at once?"
Though Theodore had been nothing but nice to her, she got scared. Theodore was punching, slapping, and slamming the most powerful vampires of their land like they were nothing but insects. And he had already knocked four of them out cold.
Two of the vampires were standing in front of Reginald while his broken nose was healing. And the remaining six had surrounded Theodore and were attacking him all at once.
A vampire swooshed in from behind while Theodore was busy with another one, and he punched at the stake that was still protruding out of his back.
Theodore winched in irritation. He tilted his head and growled, "You shouldn't have done that!"
Theodore furiously threw the vampire who was trying to bite him from the front and turned around to grab that backstabber by his neck. He pulled out a stake that was pierced on his thigh and punctured that backstabber's chest while avoiding his heart by a few hairs' gap so as not to kill him.
"Aaaarrrghhhhh!" that vampire shrieked in pain, almost deafening all the other vampires.
Each and every vampire present in that room felt their heart getting colder upon realizing that Theodore could kill any one of them with ease if he wanted to.
Theodore gave an evil grin to that vampire and whispered, "That's what you get for trying to backstab the devil."
Adeline was holding her breath because that cry sent goosebumps all over her body.
She took a deep breath in and thought to herself, "I just need to stay out of the fight. Theodore will knock them all out in no time. It will all be over before you know it."
Life would be a lot easier if everything went as planned.
