Chapter 13

Drogo

I watched Mera shyly approach me as I stood by the massive fireplace in the gathering hall. I suppressed an amused smile as she strutted in that typical seductive style of hers whenever we were alone. I didn’t understand why she persisted in her attempts at luring me into her bed. I had made it clear to all of my Blood Servants that there would be no physical involvement between us.

She was a fourth-generation human from Zima, a Karthian village southeast from Hundilinn. Pretty, with the very pale skin of the original Karthians passed down to her, she used to come once a month to give me some of her blood, in rotation with my other four Blood Servants. Over the ten days since my return from the hospital, and for the next month, I needed a significantly higher amount of blood for me to fully recover and complete the bond with my Spirit. Truth was, Soren was consuming all of what I was getting from my Blood Servants. The synthetic blood that Dr. Tanner had given me at the hospital and the small amount that I continued to drink daily served to restore me.

“Hello, King Drogo,” Mera said demurely, while batting her eyelashes.

I fought back the urge to snort in the face of her behavior in such direct contrast with the incredibly revealing second skin of a dress she was wearing. Dark blue—my favorite color—with a plunging neckline and a very short skirt, the dress left little to the imagination. It also greatly invited gropey hands to explore what was on full display. However, beyond the fact that I had made it a rule not to have affairs with the females from the Karthian villages, Mera never appealed to me. We had nothing in common personality-wise, and I didn't believe she particularly cared for me beyond seeking me as a way to climb the ladder.

Still, I believed she was physically drawn to me. But now, even more than before, her chances of luring me into her bed were beyond nil. The only female that my hands itched to touch was a lovely Blood Maiden who I would be taking on a visit to the Moon Well in the next twenty minutes or so. Darya should be done with her training by now, and Thalia had requested time to freshen up first.

“Hello, Mera,” I said in a friendly voice. “Thank you for accepting my request to come in sooner to accommodate my change of plan.”

“That is not a problem, my King,” Mera said with a soft smile. “I am always at your disposal, whatever your needs. It is my honor to please you.”

This time, it was the urge to roll my eyes that I needed to fight back. I never quite understood why some people would repeatedly throw themselves at someone that had clearly expressed, on multiple occasions, that they were not interested. I couldn't decide if it was a lack of self-respect or because they genuinely believed that, with enough persistence, they would eventually get what they wanted.
