Chapter 875 Gifts

This chapter is dedicated to @Sacogun! Thank you so much for the supergift!

In the past, Zeke had a h.e.l.l of a hard time trying to kill his father's mistress. That witch queen who was turned into a vampire had ended up incredibly strong. Not just because she had ended up rivalling the strength and abilities of a blue-blooded vampire, but also because she could still use all of her abilities as a witch queen.

A blue-blooded vampire who can wield magic was nothing but bad news to them. Back then he just could not defeat her even by using his full abilities as the vampires' crown prince. He ended up having to utilize his demonic powers and even went full on demon in order to defeat her.

"You mean I can still use all my powers as a witch? Every single one of them even those when I was the witch queen?" Alicia was having a hard time believing it. She might as well be given a cheat sheet!

"Yes, Alicia. Why don't you test it out and see for yourself if that is true?" Ezekiel prompted her.

Alicia swallowed excitedly before hesitantly moving away from his embrace. It was just so good to be held by him that she was already getting so used to it and was loath to leave it.

Zeke held onto her naked waist as Alicia faced away from him. She lifted her hands and uttered some familiar and complex chants wanting to test out the more powerful spells right off the bat. Her eyes flew wide open at the powerful magic that surged out from her. She was so shocked as the amount of power she could usually call forth when she was still a queen seemed to have doubled in strength!

Holy cow! What in blue blazes was this?

Her silvery twin blades appeared in her hands, the silvery magic causing some waves in the water and making the leaves dance without any wind.

"I can't I just can't believe this" she uttered in disbelief. But an extremely wide grin was helplessly spreading across her face.

His response was to plant a relaxed kiss on her cheek. She could feel him smiling. "Believe it, Alicia. This is how powerful you are now. No vampire can ever bring you down with the way you are currently. Of course, you know that is excluding Alex." Ezekiel added in that last bit somewhat perfunctorily.

"You you knew all along that I would turn this powerful?" she asked. Somehow, this gave her a little feeling of unease.

She made the weapons disappear again and her magic slowly died down before she turned to face him again.

"Yes." He answered honestly. "I knew you would be strong. Very strong, in fact." An elegant shoulder shrugged rather nonchalantly.

Her unease seemed to escalate at that reply. And she found herself not knowing if this was something she should be happy about. Or should she start worrying?

"Ezekiel why do I have the feeling that you had turned me into a vampire not only so we can finally be together, but also to make me this powerful? Is there a reason behind me needing to be this strong?" she did not try to hide her true thoughts from him.

He stared at her with those observant grey eyes.

"I knew you'd realize this sooner rather than later." He caressed her cheek with his thumb. "Yes, I know this would happen. And I had honestly wanted this to happen too. For you to be invincible. This was an inevitable result of our union that I had also considered. But the main reason why I turned you is still because of my unstoppable desire to have your body, soul and heart for myself. You gaining those incredible powers are a side benefit which was a bonus."

Alicia did not know what to say to his admission. What he said about his unstoppable desire for her made her heart swell so much that she momentarily forgot all about the unease.

She wanted to ask him more. She wanted to know more. She could see that there are still a lot of things that he was not telling her. His eyes were letting her know of that fact. He was not trying to hide it.

And now she was honestly tempted to just ask him to spill everything. To come clean at one go. But remembering that moment when she had stopped him from revealing all his plans to her and all the complications involved held her back.

Instead, she took a deep breath and leaned her head against his chest. She forced herself not to think too much about this matter. There was no use. She would not ask him anything. She had decided to put her trust in him no matter what. She had promised him within herself when she begged him to take her, to turn her into a vampire.

"What time is the baby shower tomorrow? I have yet to prepare my gifts for the twins." Alicia decided that it was time for a change of topic.

"Is that needed?" Ezekiel looked at her as though he genuinely thought that gifts were not needed.

Alicia pinched his cheek. "Of course, you almighty vampire prince! You need to prepare your gifts too. We can't just go there empty handed!"

"I never do gifts So I don't have any idea on what to prepare." He said softly.

Speechless, Alicia pinched him harder as she grinned. "Well, you need to start gifting now, my love. Besides, I'm certain you'd already done this before but just did not call it 'gifts' even when they basically were." She commented shrewdly.

"No, I never." He denied her claims.

"Really? You never gave anything special you possess to anyone?"

"I give things to my men. But I don't think I have a possession I can call special enough so no. Well, except for that dagger I gave you months ago. Now that I think about it, where did you put that dagger?"

Alicia blinked. "That dagger is special to you?"

"My mother gave it to me." He told her simply.

"R-really?" she could not help but stammer at the knowledge. She never had expected that. He had given her that dagger so casually that time.

"Yes, Alicia. So where is it? Don't tell me you have misplaced or lost it." he did not look upset at her even when asking that, just mildly curious.

"I think Lilith had put it next to my dead body when I died. We should go retrieve it since I can hold it now, don't you think? I will help you think about your gift for the twins too, while we're at it. Right, I think we should actually get to it right now."
