《THE RISE OF ROYAL RED EYES : BLOOD MOON》Chapter 20:A BITCH VS ALEXA!
Advertisement
It's been three days I've been resting at Alex's Mansion. Joanne took the time to see how I was. And Mr. Martin, don't ask how much he cares for me. As if I was his son who was sick. He made sure my personal maid always took care of me, told the chef to cook my favorite food, asked if I wanted to read so I didn't get bored all day having to rest various other trivial things that made me feel like being guarded by a force of nurses in this Mansion.
As for Alexander, he was cute. Brought me food from outside every time he came home from work, did not come home late and always accompanied me to breakfast and dinner. In the past three days I seem to have gained weight so much that I didn't even dare to look at the scales.
On the fourth day I started my aura recovery training at the Pyreness training camp. Alex reminded me to come home for dinner. Because now I'm at peace with him I obey his request. Today he will take me out to dinner together.
I was ready with a simple, formal A-Line dress that was polite and comfortable for dinner. I let my hair loose and only styled a little. I do not like excessive make-up, I am what I am. Meanwhile Alex picked me up at home wearing his dark work shirt and formal suit without tie which always made him look manly.
Paris is one of the cities with the most Michelin-starred restaurants after Tokyo and London. You'll never run out of ideas for the best restaurants in this romantic city.
This time we head to the Epicure on rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. Chef Eric Frechun's fine dining restaurant which is the National Treasures of France. A 3-star Michelin Chef and of course a 3-star Michelin Restaurant. How can a person who is still alive be considered a National Treasure, he must be done great thing with his knife.
Quiet and pleasant dinner atmosphere accompanied by good food, and now he is more open to me, since we reconciled, Alexander is willing to share his past. It feels like just getting to know him again and rebuilding trust. Do I forgive him completely. I don't think so, I still can't accept his attitude, but I'm still trying to forget what he did before.
"You've been here before?"
"No, but I've been to L'Ambrosie, yesterday Joanne also took me there." I mentioned one fine dining Michelin restaurant which is also famous throughout Paris and the world.

"You're right, the food there is also very good" Alexander agreed before anything happened next.
"Alexander it's a shame to meet you here" A hand curled up from the back and shifted to Alexander's shoulder. And suddenly the woman kissed him on the cheek.
I quickly turned my head and immediately recognized who was wrapping his arms in an immodest manner. Julia Delacroix. The gold-dressed model face I met at the boutique with Joanne. My emotions immediately caught sight of Alexander's concubine who was so insolent.
This time her beautiful blonde hair was held high and in a bun up, with classic white pearl earrings in her ears and her usual high class appearance in a white high-necked dress. One of Alexandre's concubines, I have to face the same problem again. What a Bitch!
"Hey miss, I know you, we met when you were with Madam Joanne."
As usual her eyes looked at me judiciously. She looked at me casual dress with contempt of course. Gosh, I really want to grab her beautiful bun.
"Miss Julia, nice to see you again." That's high-level sarcasm, of course. Hell no, I hate you! You destroy my night today.
Alex stiffens, he seems to be looking at my expression with concern. I do have to practice patience with this matter. But I can't, my blood is rapidly rising to see these concubines roaming beside him.
"Who is she dear, you don't want to introduce us?" She provoked me with her words as if she was Alexander's owner.
"Julia Delacroix, she's my fiancé Alexa Aegis. Our engagement announcement will be in the near future. You already know Julia Delacroix, Alexa?" Julia looked at me in disbelief. Her face immediately changed. Feel it bitch, soon you'll be under me!
"Miss Aegis, congratulations to both of you. Maybe I'll visit you sometime, where did you stay while in Paris Miss Aegis, at Alex's Penthouse on the Champ de Elyseès? I go there often. Ohhh I memorized every curve of that place Miss Aegis." she deliberately provoked me by mentioning one of Alexander's residences. Of course your level is only a misstress in Miss Julia's Apartment!
"No, Miss Julia, I live with Alexander in his Mansion in 7emè, if you want to know Miss Delacroix. Please come to our house, Alexander and I will welcome you as our guest."
I smiled back in full, eat that bitch! You feel like you're winning over me. Julia gave me a calculating look. My answer quickly silenced her. I showed her class quickly as the mistress of Alexander's residence.

"And Alexander, I did not expect to hear this news from you, I will always think you will feel at home to always be the most contested playboy forever." This time she moved further holding Alexander's jaw with a seductive smile. This bitch is shameless.
"Julia, I'm having dinner with my fiancé. My future wife. Please respect us if you have nothing to talk about, I ask that you can leave." Alexander behaves cold, he ended up throwing this bitch out himself. I formed a faint grin on my triumphant lips while crossed my legs and put my hands on the back of the chair looking at her now. I really enjoy my moment of victory.
Julia's eyes glinted at me. I looked back at her. We stare at each other to tear. Meanwhile Alexander remained silent. Julia removed her gaze at me and moved back this time. It seemed that she didn't dare to make a fuss here.
"Okay, see you later Miss Aegis. We'll get better acquainted at the next meeting. I'll make sure I'll visit you." She said with a cold smile, a grin to be precise. And she moved away from our table. I followed her departure.
I immediately lost my appetite. I looked at Alexander who looked calm and unaffected by the incident.
"Don't let that woman influence you. Alexa. She is just a bully. But she is quite dangerous, Julia is one of the clan fighters. She is from the Delacroix clan, a quite strong clan. I will assign an escort from the clan to you at home. If she comes maybe she will try to trouble you. Don't try to meet her without me. Do you understand?" Alexander is trying to protect me or trying not to let me hear anything bad about him and his gang of concubines?
"You know Alex, I've been patient enough with your legion of drivers. How many times has Julia set foot in 7emè, is she also familiar living there like in your Penthouse on the Champ de Elysèe?" I was angry from earlier imagining how many women who might have felt in that house or might have lived there.
"No Alexa, the house is exclusively yours. I never take women to my private residence. Only you will live there and you own it. I do it in my apartment that she mentioned earlier or in a hotel if you really want to know my past. You can ask Martin if I've brought a woman or not." Alexander said in a stern voice.
I looked at him, he did not turn his eyes from me, it seems he meant it with what he said just now.
"Alright let's eat. Don't let that incident bother us. You've been right, you show clearly who you are and don't get provoked by the emotion of responding it." Alexander praises my attitude? Well, he ended this topic at last.
I don't want to make things gloomy. Even though it was clear I was disturbed by what happened just now. That woman had clearly looked down on me from the moment we met. Her gaze said I wasn't prettier than her. One day I will beat her with my own hands.
This is very strange, I feel now I can tolerate Alexander's past. I didn't expect that I would achieve this kind of patience, for the sake of inter-clan cooperation, for the clan's victory in battle a few months later? A 29-year-old virgin girl fights against a group of hundreds of year-old killer vampire concubines. I have to give myself credit for this courage.
We were silent during the not so far journey home. I had something dangerous on my mind. Maybe now I should give it a try, entering his private sphere. The risk is, maybe he won't let me go. But I'm angry with all his concubines who have been bothering me from the moment we met. As if they got Alexander more than I did, his own fiancé.
We reached the front of the house, and Alexander opened the car door for me. I waited for him to go upstairs together to our respective rooms.
"Alex" My voice choked.
"Hmm?" He turned around as I was about to reach my room.
"May I see your private room?"
He paused for a moment while giving me a strange look and seemed to confirm what he heard once again.
"I just want to see it, you don't think me wrong."
I know what's on his mind right now. He immediately smiled broadly.
"Of course you can, you can come in anytime. You want to sleep there with me too I don't mind."
Now he immediately let out his lecherous smile again. The dangerous part I have to take.
"Come on"
He took my hand. I obey the pull. A little scared, but I'm sure he didn't force anything there, he promised he wouldn't do anything until I was ready for it.

8 202Toothpick
“Hello! My humble audience! I, the Bard of the North, am going to tell you a tale. Nothing new, nothing old. A story of a hero, some may say, others a poor boy who was hated by the world.” The storyteller paused as he waited, right timing was everything when telling a story. Pacing… Too slow and the audience became bored then left without tossing even the smallest of coins. If he spoke too fast and rushed the story. It would leave the audience confused and having no reason to be impressed. So like any good storyteller, the Bard has to do a balancing act of sorts. Not too slow, not too fast. Just perfectly in the middle. “In a shattered country in the south, a novice princeling has the ambition to mend a torn tapestry that is his birthplace. Struggling to fend off those who would usurp the throne in an unending civil war spanning centuries. A mercenary that left only death in his wake, unable to stave off the monotony and peace of life. He looks back at the path laden with bodies, wondering if it was all worth it. Wandering souls summoned by a madman, travel away from a wasteland in a foreign land, the first alone, the others as companions. A deity, ancient in her years, waiting to be freed from a duty she no longer enjoys. For all these people and their stories, none are the hero of this tale. No, the hero is not grand, not wise, not ready.. he was punished for nothing of his doing, who was an outcast that was unloved by many, including his father.” This was always the big reveal novices use to jump off into their story. He did not start here, instead, like any good fishermen, he set the bait and waited until the fish bit before pulling. As he saw the audience's eyes focus, he then started the backstory. The harness, that stopped the listeners from having metaphorical whiplash. The foreshadowing. “But that is not where the story starts. No, not even the hero's birth. Where the story begins, is the boredom of the deity, a deity many know of. She who hunts for the impossible, the guide for those who have lost the path, the Huntress of Mallon--” A small pause, a short breath. “--All old names for a single powerful being that has roamed the grounds of this continent longer than any line of kings or queens, lords or ladies. A being of worship for many an individual…” One last breath. And he began singing the first verse.
