Love Agreement With The King

Chapter 327 - Just Mom And Me



Chapter 327 - Just Mom And Me

"You kept something that serious from me? He is also my son, John. You shouldn't have..."

Roselyn's voice filled with resentment. She knew if John had kept that a secret it was either because it was something serious or because he was very concerned.

"Why did you keep that from me?" Roselyn asked after taking a long resigned breath, remaining calm on the surface whereas inwardly her blood was boiling through her veins.

"I am sorry. I was very worried. I still am. I didn't want to worry you as well. I noticed since the first days that he wasn't growing as much as other vampires and I had always hoped he would keep up but he didn't." John said, he bit his inner cheek as he usually did when he was slightly nervous and Roselyn grow more preoccupied.

Her heart was speeding so much it seemed it was exploding in her chest.

"Is that a bad thing?" Roselyn asked, despite she tried her best to sound less preoccupied than she was, her brittle voice broke and lowered down.

"I don't know," John said, and that was indeed the truth. He didn't know, he never had met any vampire before whose growth wasn't keeping up with the other kids' growth.

Roselyn shook her head, it wasn't possible, he was training a lot and his speed was almost as fast as the other 13 years old kids.

"I should ask the doctors but I am afraid that if the news will spread Elijah will believe the insults and will think I am trying to change him because I am disappointed in him," John said, he swallowed down every few words probably because he was just as sad as Roselyn. And just like her, he was trying to stay strong not to worry her furthermore.

"Those vampire kids are really cruel," Roselyn murmured.

John nodded, "they are. But it's better a few kids than the entire Kratez." John sighed.

Roselyn lay on the bed and crawled closer to John, "we will overcome this like we overcome everything else."

John nodded, he stroked his hair off her face and smiled, "we will."

After giving each other the good night kiss they fell asleep.

The next morning Roselyn awoke earlier than him, since the maids were still sleeping she decided to cook breakfast so that the maids could rest a bit longer.

She made some chocolate brownies scrambled eggs and some orange juice.

When the maids woke up and walked into the kitchen to make breakfast Roselyn told them they shall go back to sleep as she made already everything.

They thanked her and then gladly accepted her kind offer and went back to their room to sleep for a bit longer.

Meantime John woke up when he found her cooking he smiled.

"You're becoming a chef huh?" He said amused, Roselyn shook her head chuckling.

She felt his huge arms wrapping around her hips and pushing her closer to him.

"You're so beautiful. Good morning." He whispered kissing her neck.

Roselyn shut her eyes as she smiled when his kisses lowered down to her exposed shoulder. Goosebumps formed all over her arms and a shiver ran through her spine when he kissed the side of her neck.

"Don't distract me, I have to finish cooking," Roselyn complained but although her request seemed sincere, John didn't have the intention of stopping.

With one hand he held her hair while with the other he started digging in her skirt.

Roselyn bit her lip, "stop." She whispered.

Maids just came back in their rooms, what if they returned to the kitchen? Roselyn blushed only at the idea of being caught in that situation.

She turned around and pulled him away gently, "stop it," she said more seriously.

John rolled his eyes then he laughed and lifted his hands in sign of surrounding.

"Fine, fine." He said.

The smirk on his face made Roselyn deduce his surrender wasn't ultimate, but it was only postponed to later.

Elijah walked in the room holding her sister's hand who was walking like a zombie, with eyes still closed for sleep.

"Good morning!" Roselyn exclaimed, the two kids only attempted a wave and then sat at the table. They probably were too sleepy to even speak, Roselyn was used to that early morning mood.

There must be something wrong with mornings and kids, those are probably eternal enemies like batman and joker. Every morning the kids woke up as if they had the worst night in their entire life.

Elijah and Felicity ate slowly and quietly, they didn't even notice Roselyn made breakfast, they were probably too busy contemplating how terrible mornings are and how sleepy they were.

"They are in a good mood, huh," John whispered to Roselyn who had to bite her lip not to laugh.

Roselyn handed him his dish, when he tasted the brownie he grimaced rolling his eyes and waving his hand as if he just tasted the most delicious dessert of his life.

Roselyn giggled, she knew he was joking but at least he was giving her more satisfaction than her kids who only ate and barely spoke in the first hour of the morning.

"Chef Roselyn? Shall I call you like that from now on?" John said taking another bite of the brownie.

"As you wish, your highness." Roselyn bowed down and then they both chuckled.

After about two hours, the kids finally exceeded the syndrome of early mornings and their mood arose just like the sun in the sky.

Roselyn decided to dedicate some time alone with Elijah so she brought him to walk in the wood. She told him everything from the day she had met John till the day they fell in love. He listened to her like kids usually listen to their parents telling fairies, with wide eyes and entranced expressions.

When she was done telling him everything, even about the fighting and the agreement which lead them there Elijah was puzzled and speechless.

"So you didn't know you were a banshee before? you and dad didn't meet genuinely or casually but it was supposed to be a plan?" Elijah summed up everything, he looked at her confused as if he didn't expect anything like that. They never told him about how they precisely met.

"Exactly." Roselyn smiled, "I found out about my powers later but it was hard to control my powers and to practice when I barely knew what being a banshee meant."

She remembered the first practice she had with John when he made her grow plants in the middle of the wood. And then she remembered how physically hard it was to train, she felt sick often because she overworked herself.

A smile appeared on her lips, the more she thought about those memories the more she understood how much she had improved since then.

"I was weak and barely trained. My body wasn't used to that. But I didn't stop believing in myself and neither did John, who helped me day by day until one day I even defeated an entire army of supernatural creatures with John and several months later I grow wings." Roselyn smiled, she could feel Elijah's eyes on her, he squeezed her hand probably as a sign he was proud of her.

Roselyn gazed down at him, she kneeled and smiled at him.

"I wasn't born powerful, but I have become now. You may not be as powerful as them, but one day you will be even more." Roselyn wrapped her hands around Elijah's hips.

"I promise you." She whispered, he hugged her tightly as if he just got a boost of confidence. Just like he believed in his mother's promise.

"I have an idea," Roselyn said, her gaze traveling through the wood. The same wood where she used to practice with John when she didn't know how to control her powers. While she told Elijah about her relationship with John they walked so much and before they knew they reached the wood behind the Royal Castle.

"This is the same place where John and I practiced the first times," Roselyn explained while a huge smile curved her lips enlightening her face with joy.

Elijah's gaze darted, it was an empty wood, some hedges here and there and lots of dry leaves on the ground. It was like walking on carpets of leaves as at each step the leaves cracked under their feet.

Elijah wondered what was so special about that place since it was surely huge but it was empty.

Roselyn smiled at her son, she knitted her eyebrows down, "speed back a few meters afar from me." Roselyn said.

Elijah listened to her mother's order, when he did he nodded at her waiting for the next command.

"We can train together." Roselyn said, "it helped me back then maybe it will help you now."

Elijah opened his eyes in shock, the thought of fighting against her mother even if it was for practice never crossed his mind. He shook his head, "no." He said, maybe worried about what he could do to her or what she could do to him.

That's when Roselyn raised her eyebrows, "that's not a question.. Let's practice."
