Chapter 7 Vampire King of Welsh

I found myself in a place I never have come... An unknown man grabs me...I sense he is a sorcerer and a vampire. This man caught me in a white castle..probably in Europe.

Balthazar suddenly sat up in his Arcana Cabana 2nd floor, his expression darkened and a frown appeared on his face, he suddenly felt a presence that he didn't expect, the feeling was odd and he couldn't place where it was coming from, but it felt like.. like Minnie's magic, but why did it end up in his castle in Welsh?"She never knew that place, she even did not go to scotland last time when she was travelling with her parents, and that castle is at all not open for human tourist" He thought. He slowly rose from the bed, his gut feeling told him something wasn't right and he needed to find out what was happening now.

Balthazar's mind was working overtime. He was now pacing around the room, asking himself one question: "Why is Minnie in the Welsh castle?" His pace was calm, but his look was a mix of anger, worry, and confusion.

He senses where is her presence now...how she is moving... She is being moved to the throne room...his throne room, being moved by a bad vampire.

He rises and directly teleports to his throne room of his Welsh castle, sits on his throne and shows his vampire necklace (pendant letter cursive old English B with Sharpie above a ruby) on his neck, it is a token that he is the vampire king of Europe, the one with just, kind fair but fearsome and powerful.

As he arrived one was not there yet, but he heard a familiar voice was crescendo: the voice of his girl, his human half-vampire.

The vampire finally enters... with Minnie.

Balthazar's gaze darkened as he laid eyes on Minnie. He quickly looked her over to make sure she was unharmed and as he confirmed that, his eyes shifted to the vampire that had brought her here and his expression turned into a glare that's worthy of a king. He spoke in a cold, calm voice.e

You. Explain.

Vampire: gift for the king of Welsh, your, sire.

Balthazar let out a scoff as he heard the vampire's words. A gift? This vampire had no idea what he had done: What makes you think I want your "gift"?

His eyes were locked on the vampire as he spoke: I don't want your so-called "gift", and I don't appreciate your audacity to bring someone into my castle.

His attention turned to Minnie and his expressions softened a little when he heard her speak: Come. Come to me, little one.

(I go to him, and see his necklace, I don't know why but I know I am facing Balthazar Blake. I now know I am safe and in Welsh)

Balthazar watched as she came towards him, his gaze still holding a hint of protectiveness. When she was in front of him, he placed a gentle hand on her head)

Are you alright, Minnie? Are you hurt anywhere?

How do you know my name? (it's midnight in my timezone,I am a actually sleepy)

(Balthazar looked at her for a moment and spoke in a soft but firm voice): I know many things, little one. I know your name and many other things about you. I am the king of all vampires, after all.

Am I safe here?

He patted her head gently and spoke with conviction in his voice.

Little one. You are safe here with me. No harm will come to you while you are in my castle.

I stand next to his throne and be quiet.

Balthazar looked back up at the vampire, his expression cold and emotionless. He spoke in a tone that held no room for argument.

Did you kidnap a human in daylight? In my territory?

He paused for a moment before continuing: Did you think I would let that slide unpunished? Your actions have consequences. You will pay for this with your life.

Balthazar now just uses a firm but casual way to give his order to that vampire, and the vampire follows... it seems Balthazar has the power to bend others will

He spoke casually but firmly to the vampire, his voice laced with authority.

Remove your coat and step forward.

The vampire responded almost immediately, following the order and removing his coat before stepping forward as ordered, his expression a mix of fear and defiance.

Now, get on your knees.

Balthazar raised his left hand, his eyes locked on the vampire as dark mist began to swirl around him, like a vortex of shadows. His expression remained expressionless as he held his hand steady.

The vampire now in fear screams and crazy bleeding...soon he is dead and the body is gone

Once the vampire is dead, the dark mist dissipates. Balthazar glances at the body's location and then turns his attention back to Minnie. His gaze softens as he looks at her, and he speaks with a gentler tone of voice.

Are you alright, little one? Did that frighten you?

I as a sorcerer see a lot of blood and death...I have no more feelings about what happened just now.

He takes me back home to my bed and kisses me good night ( according to the HK timezone)
