She Belongs To The Devil

Rebekah was sitting by the side of the window and was blankly staring outside at the empty fields that went on and on as far as her eyes could see.

She sighed and moved her gaze to see her brother who was sitting right in front of her. "Reggie, can\'t we abandon this carriage and run? We would have reached Wyverndale hours ago if we had done that."

Reginald was also already feeling suffocated by that sluggish ride. He was already bored out of his mind and that thought of running had crossed his mind at least a couple of times.

However, he tried not to show his boredom and scolded Rebekah, "You know we can\'t do that, Rebekah. We cannot sneak to Wyverndale because we are not going there to spy on them. We are going there for a diplomatic reason."

"Diplomatic reason my arse!" Rebekah rolled her eyes and bluntly said, "We are going to get you a girl."

Reginald smiled and nodded, "True. But since both Adeline and I are the ruler and to-be ruler of our respective Kingdoms, it is going to be a diplomatic meeting rather than just a normal one."

"So…" Reginald stretched his shoulders and explained why they had to use the carriage, "…we have to go through proper routes and by using proper means of transportation. We have a reputation to maintain as the Royals of the powerful Kingdom."

Rebekah went silent and resumed staring at the boring fields where one or two houses and people used to pop up every once in a while.

But she got bored within a minute. She yawned and then again began to pester Reginald, "Then, can\'t we go ahead and wait in a guest house near the Palace? We can regroup after the carriages arrive there. And we can ride the carriage before entering the Wyverndale Palace. No one will know."

Reginald sighed at the dumbness of his sister. And he spoke in a monotone, "Of course, they will know! We are yet to cross the border of Wyverndale. And if we abandon the carriage why would they let an empty carriage enter the border?"

Rebekah pouted and replied cleverly, "Nobody knows how you look like, idiot. We can ask one of the guards to pose as you. Simple!"

And as if he was the man of great virtue, Reginald folded his arms and denied, "That is called deceiving. We are going to Wyverndale to expose a man who is deceiving the Princess and the King. And we cannot do the same thing! How will we be any different from that fake Prince?"

"Argh!" Rebekah gritted her teeth and ruffled her hair in frustration. "Why are you pretending to have never deceived anyone before? Did you hit your head somewhere? Why are you being so stubborn about traveling in this damn tortoise?"

Reginald smiled trying to conceal his irritation. "And why are you being so stubborn about running? We do that all the time! Weren\'t you the one to say that you wanted to travel by carriage? Well, we are! So shut up and let me have some peace."

Rebekah jumped out of her seat and sat beside Reginald. She started to pull his sleeve while trying to convince him, "If we reach there sooner then we can use that time to take a look around the market of Wyverndale\'s capital. I want to enjoy for a bit, try some local foods, and purchase some interesting items."

Reginald sighed and pulled his hand away from Rebekah. He closed his eyes and turned away his head. "We can take a look around the market after the meeting is over."

His lips curved up a little when he further imagined the exciting possibility, "Maybe Princess Adeline might offer to show us around. It would be a great way to spend some time with her."

Rebekah sneered at that hopeless romantic brother of hers. "I don\'t want to be the third wheel if that happens. Ugh!"

"If you hated the idea of meeting your future sister-in-law that much then why did you even tag along?" Reginald glared at Rebekah with anger and shouted, "If you are that against the idea then it\'s not too late to return. We are still in the territory of Mihir. So, get out of the carriage and go back to the Palace. I\'m sure you can entertain yourself."

"Okay, okay, alright! If you\'re not in a hurry to meet that Princess then I am fine waiting for one more day to actually reach Wyverndale and roam around." Rebekah scoffed and then went back to her original seat.

Reginald let out a quiet sigh because it was true that he was dying to meet Adeline. And spending another day on the road was not ideal. However, he was adamant about going in the carriage. He was sure that if he was to do as Rebekah had suggested then he would end up going to the Palace without waiting for the carriages to arrive.

No matter how angry Rebekah was with her brother, he was the only one that she could talk to in that long arse journey. So she ended up asking him a question, "Reginald, what is your plan after?"

"After what?" Reginald asked with a tinge of frustration in his voice.

But that didn\'t deter Rebekah from talking with him. "After marrying the Princess. I mean, are you going to keep her a human or are you going to turn her into a vampire?"

"Of course, I will turn her. I cannot let her die in a few decades when I have centuries ahead of me." Reginald replied without even thinking for a second.

And Rebekah asked again because she was curious to know her brother\'s future plans. Him being the King, his one small action would affect the fate of the whole vampire race. "Then are you going to marry a pure-blooded vampire to give birth to your heir?"

Reginald curled his lips in disdain and asked, "Why would I do that? We can have a child after I turn her."

Rebekah suddenly had a serious look on her face. And she said a bit sternly, "Because even if you turn her and conceive a child, that child will not be as strong as us. And the ruler of the vampire race cannot be weaker than other vampires."

"Ugh!" Reginald lied down on the seat and tried to shut his sister, "Don\'t talk about all this and jinx my future before it can even start. I will think about it when I will be ready for it. For now, do me a favor and please… please let me sleep. I\'m tired from answering all your stupid questions."

Rebekah sighed loudly and stood up. She was feeling cramped by sitting in that little wooden box for the whole night and almost the whole day.

She kicked Reginald\'s seat with her shoes and then bluntly said, "I\'m going to stretch my legs. I will be back after an hour. I\'m pretty sure this thing will be right here when I get back."

Reginald just turned away his head and didn\'t even try to stop her. He was rather happy to know that his ears would finally get some much-needed silence.

Rebekah kept on glaring at him and waited for him to say something. But even after waiting for a while, he didn\'t speak a word. She sneered and gave an air punch to him. She looked out of the window and waited for a house to show up.

A sinister smirk appeared on her face when she saw a man working on the field a little far ahead.. "That will also work," she mumbled to herself and jumped out of the window.
