Chapter 41

Anastasia turned towards the door, mouth agape at the sight of her brother barging in. She couldn't recognize him at all. Hunter was so not Hunter. His clothes were torn (you could see his abs and thighs, ew), his face was filthy and his hair was a bird's nest. Literally, there was a family of birds in his hair. She slapped her forehead "why do you have to make a dramatic entrance every time?"

He rolled his eyes and chuckled, "I'm related to you, how could I not?" with that, he dropped dead. Daphne pinched her nose. "Uh~ honey?" Anastasia turned her head towards the former queen "who's this vampire? Also, someone take him to a room or something! He's bleeding right now!"

"Wait, really?" Daphne walked up to the unconscious vampire and checked his pulse "he's okay, just didn't have blood for a few months and tired. Very tired."

------------------------------------

Her parents had tortured Cassandra for the past months. Ever since her brother gone, her parents on her mother had been crazy as heck. Her mother had fucked dad a million times a day, and she had dark circles under her eyes (why were they so loud? They forgot they had one kid remaining?); she started liking mayonnaise (who even likes that shit?) and had mad cravings.

A vampire knocked on the door "Your highness?"

"Yes?"

"Your parents have asked you for your presence in the throne room." She sighed "ok I'm coming~!"

----------

After announcing her presence, she walked into the room. Her mom was eating Doritos and her dad seemed mad. Very mad. What the heck did she do to make him mad? She should be mad at them instead. All the nobles present were murmuring among themselves, their eyes averting to her while talking. Her dad cleared his throat, and the room went silent.

"Where were you before?"

"I was in my room, father."

"Where's your brother?"

"He has gone to the mortal domain." Nobody spoke for a few seconds before people started murmuring again. "SILENCE!" Keyne's voice boomed and the entire room went on silent again. Hwei-ru rubbed her hands on her gown and spoke up "Hey, can you send a message to your brother to bring more of that mortal sauce? And these chips?"

"Yes, moth- wait what?" Her parents started laughing. They left Cassandra speechless. What the heck? The nobles started laughing nervously along with them. The room was filled with laughter. Her parents were holding their stomachs. They coughed "oh my god! You should've seen yourself! You looked so funny!" Gods, why do they have to prank her for nothing? She was sleeping peacefully and now she's a joke. What's so funny to them? They have a weird sense of humor.

After having their fill, they wiped their tears "gods! Y'all can go home now!" Her dad announced and the people present rushed out in an orderly fashion.

Cassandra was going to go back to her room when "Cassandra! Come here for a second!" her dad shouted while helping her mother down the stairs. "Yes, dad?"

"Your mother is having one of those cravings again. Ask your brother to bring like a hundred of those round sandwiches when he is returning."

"Okay, dad. I'll be in my room sleeping. Please don't disturb me." with that she left the throne room.

-------------------------

Somebody knocked on the door "URGH! Did you not see the do not disturb me sign hung on the- oh hello dad." Keyne was being all giggly. She cringed, this might not be good. He gave her a small paper bag and whispered to her, "did you message your brother?"

"I called and messaged him and the network doesn't apparently work there." Keyne frustratedly grunted, "argh~! I was thinking of adding this sleeping powder your sister made. We all know whatever she makes is very effective." Cassandra's eyes widened hearing her dad's plan, she hissed "are you trying to kill mom or trying to put her in a coma?! Whatever anna makes is so dangerous, that even one pinch of it can put you in whatever the description was! We use those for revenge stuff!"

Apparently, Hwei-ru was just passing by. She was on her way to the kitchen and stopped in her tracks, seeing her husband at Cassandra's door. Her mind told her to hide somewhere, and she hid behind the nearest vase. Her tiny figure (if you think 5'9 is tiny) was easily hidden. She continued eavesdropping.

She gasped, hearing his plan. Did he want to kill her for revenge or something? Why was he so childish? Her mind came with a perfect plan in a few seconds. She smirked evilly thinking about it.

Her husband was going to suffer tonight!
