The Bride Of The Vampire King Chapter 18
Advertisement
Aaric really couldn't figure out how else he should deal with this woman. Anything about this woman just sucked in short. He couldn't even imagine how the real Drake could put up with her all through their secret relationship.
If it weren't for the fact that Aaric still needed this body for a really long time, then he wouldn't have bothered with a woman like Ellen.
This woman was unreasonably sensitive and difficult to control when emotions overwhelmed her. But maybe Aaric could take advantage of this, considering how much Ellen loved Drake.
"You are lying!" Ellen shouted hysterically. Aaric frowned, he couldn't let this woman attract unnecessary attention from their surroundings. "You are trying to avoid me! Tell me what I did wrong!"
Aaric's thoughts of using Ellen in this situation almost disappeared as soon as Ellen acted like a crazy woman and started behaving unreasonably yet again.
Aaric felt himself almost going insane. The thought of saving Mila was the only thing that was helping him keep his sanity, and not to kill this woman right then and there.
Therefore, to suppress Ellen's growing emotions, as well as to silence her so that she would stop sulking and being irrational, Aaric hugged the woman tightly without wasting one more second.
Gently, Aaric rubbed Ellen's back and kissed the side of her head, whispering sweet nothings into her ear softly, which proved to be helpful in calming Ellen down.
"Ellen," Aaric called out the woman's name, this time with more emotion. "There has been a lot on my mind lately, so for the time being, I need some time to calm myself down."
Ellen raised her head to look at Aaric. She still looked very shaken but no longer having an outburst like before. Her feelings became much better after her lover hugged her and rubbed her back gently, as he had always done before.

Maybe Drake didn't change, maybe Ellen just didn't give him the space to move more freely.
Realizing her mistake, Ellen wiped the tears that were streaming down her cheeks and kissed Drake's cheek. "Have I been putting too much pressure on you lately?"
"No,"Aaric said, but his body language was telling the opposite, so Ellen knew he was lying. "You are not putting any pressure on me, it is just that this job is sometimes too heavy and this secret relationship we have been in makes me uncomfortable if we get too close here. I don't want anyone to get suspicious."
It was the only reason Aaric could think of right now to save the situation between himself and Ellen while his head was filled with thoughts of; how to get Mila out of that damn room.
Aaric didn't have much time to take care of Ellen.
"Therefore, give me some time to sort things out in this place…"
"The problem with the vampire girl?" Ellen interrupted Aaric's words in a mocking tone. She didn't hide her distaste for Mila at all. Well, after all, her life was almost lost because of that girl, even though Ellen always treated her quite well compared to the other staff.
Aaric smiled in order to cover up his urge to tear Ellen apart for her earlier comment. "Yes," he answered. "You know how important this is to me."
Ellen knew that Mila was Drake's first project. Therefore, since the object of the research was finally aware, Ellen could understand that Drake seemed obsessed with finishing what he started, and Ellen actually didn't want to mess this up. "But, you said that you were fed up with me," she recalled Drake's words that hurt her heart.
Aaric closed his eyes and sighed heavily. This was the reason why he liked Mila's personality. The girl would not sulk just to prove the other person's guilt. Hell, Aaric couldn't even imagine Mila sulking and being childish.

However, that was precisely what attracted him… and it was for this reason that Aaric was willing to give up everything just to be with the woman he loved.
However, not every plan could go smoothly and now Aaric had to go through fifty long years of long search, just to be able to meet Mila again.
And he wasn't going to let this opportunity go to waste, especially when he was at such a disadvantage.
"Sorry," Aaric said, lowering his gaze, giving the impression that he really felt guilty for hurting Ellen with his irresponsible words.
And indeed, Ellen looked guilty for bringing up the matter again. She then reached out and cupped Drake's face in her palms.
"It is all right, I understand," she said softly. "If you need anything, tell me… I will help you."
Aaric slowly and dramatically raised his head and looked deeply at Ellen. "Are you really going to help me?" He asked carefully.
Seeing the change in Drake's expression and knowing that her lover needed her help, made Ellen happy because she felt needed. "Of course, I will help you with anything."
Aaric then narrowed his eyes. "Are you really willing to do anything to help me?"

Steamforged Sorcery [A Steampunk LitRPG]
This is a fantasy story in a steampunk setting, not a sci-fi. The Great War ravaged the face of the earth many years ago. In the years that passed, the world rebuilt, mixing machinery and magic to form something new. Great blimps took to the sky, belching steam and smoke as metal cities sprouted like weeds below. Angel, a talented mage, scours the desert endlessly in search of lost knowledge. When it unexpectedly falls into his hands, he quickly comes to realize that the world is far larger – and far more deadly – than he ever could have predicted. But no amount of danger is going to keep Angel from seeking out greater strength and traveling the world, claiming all the greatest treasure that it has to offer. To most, the desert is a dangerous threat to be feared. To Angel, it’s a land of opportunity, waiting to be exploited. Steamforged Sorcery is, as the title suggests, a LitRPG Steampunk story with heavy focus on magic and scenery. The main character starts out relatively strong (but far from overpowered) but will eventually grow in strength to incredible levels. It is moderately paced and does not progress at ridiculous speeds. Release Schedule: 1,500 words daily Monday-Friday
