Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

In the Castle of Kingdom Phantasia…

Everyone was rejoicing, welcoming the Werewolf King and Queen, along with the Werewolf General, Cedric. The werewolf council and the elders were informed that the King and Queen finally found the werewolf princess.

Another story going around was that Cedric, the Mighty General, was the one who found the werewolf princess, saving her from the vampires.

Cedric was enjoying this glory. He appeared to be the hero who saved the day! Cedric received compliments and praises from the elders.

"You are worthy to become the fiancé of the werewolf princess. We can't wait to see her." One werewolf elder shared his opinion with them.

"You've been a great warrior. You deserve to be promoted!"

"That's true. You will be a perfect match for our princess!"

Cedric could only smile at them. "This decision will still depend on our King." Cedric didn't want to brag about his accomplishment. But as long as Dominique would acknowledge him. He would never have a problem.

"I'm planning to propose this idea to our King. I think… I also fell in love with the princess at first sight," Cedric said to the council. His eyes roamed around the banquet hall but he didn't see Dominique and Serena. The werewolf princess, Stella, was not yet around.

The banquet continued. There was a bountiful feast and lots of drinks being served in the castle. The witches and wizards used spells to maintain the bright lights and lively music in the venue.

The invited guests were wearing different long gowns and the man in their warrior suit. They were like in a Victorian renaissance era also known as the medieval period.

Some of them were already dancing at the center of the hall together with their respective partners and mates. Vampire slaves could be seen in the banquet hall, serving the witches, wizards, werewolves, and other creatures.

Everyone was in a happy mood. They were enjoying the privilege of being allied with the werewolf clan. Only the vampires were the ones who couldn't enjoy this banquet. They were there as servants of those creatures.

Cedric excused himself to find Dominique and Serena. "Are they not yet done changing into their clothes?"

He was excited to talk to Dominique about marriage. He would ask him to give his blessings and allow him to become the werewolf princess' fiancé. That's the reward he wanted to request from Dominique. Marrying the werewolf princess!

It did not take long before Cedric found Dominique on the balcony near the banquet hall. He was talking to several elite werewolf fighters.

"Why are they here? Is Dominique trying to heighten the security of the palace for Stella's safety?" Cedric wondered to himself.

"He should have informed me about his plan. I can be the one to guard Princess Stella. I can be with her… at all times." Cedric murmured as he traced his steps towards them.

Little did he know, those men whom Dominique was talking to right now would be the same men who would capture Cedric and put him into prison.

Clueless about that fact, Cedric cheerfully greeted them, letting them know of his presence. The werewolf fighters were surprised to see him. Did he hear anything? Dominique just looked at them meaningfully before sending them away.

"Cedric, why are you here?" Dominique asked him, trying to divert Cedric's attention. He just hoped Cedric didn't sense anything suspicious while he was talking to the werewolf fighters.

Dominique motioned the werewolf fighters to leave, giving Cedric and him some privacy.

"I was looking for you, My King." Cedric was being polite to Dominique. "I think… it's the time to tell you the reward that I want from you… My King."

Dominique just bobbed his head. "This is the reward for finding my daughter, right?"

"Yes, My King," Cedric gazed down, humbling himself to his King.

"Okay. What is it that you want? Tell me." Dominique calmly asked him. He didn't show any expression of refusal. This was part of their plan. Cedric must lower his guard down for them to easily capture him later.

"My King… please give me your permission… I wanna marry your daughter. The werewolf princess!" Cedric finally said it!

Dominique had complicated emotions on his face. If Cedric didn't try to kill Dylan, he would have chosen him to be Stella's husband. But Cedric disappointed him. He still couldn't believe that Cedric would betray him and his family, targeting his only son, Dylan.

"Okay. I will give you my blessing. You are the best candidate to become my daughter's husband. I will give an important announcement about the engagement tonight." Dominique smiled at him, tapping Cedric's shoulder.

Cedric couldn't contain his happiness. He was one step closer to becoming a King. Not wanting to prolong their discussion, Dominique said goodbye to Cedric. He would accompany his wife, Serena, to the banquet hall.

Meanwhile, Cedric also returned to the banquet hall, feeling so excited. He couldn't wait to hear the announcement about his engagement with the werewolf princess.

"Finally… I can fulfill my dream of becoming the Werewolf King! I'll do my best to rule this kingdom." Cedric mumbled as he entered the banquet hall. The venue was crowded with different creatures.

A few minutes later, the music stopped and the Werewolf King and Queen finally showed up to everyone. Dominique was escorting his Queen as they descended from the second floor going to center stage.

With Dominique's cue, the werewolf fighters also entered the banquet hall. No one noticed the numerous numbers of werewolf fighters surrounding Cedric as they were all focused on their King and Queen. Soon, Dominique began his speech.

"To our fellow werewolves and our allied forces, my Queen and I are so glad that you made it tonight. We have an important announcement to make so listen carefully." Dominique paused, his eyes scanning the venue looking for someone.

From a distance, he finally saw the familiar figures of his son and daughter. Marceline and Dylan were already there at the entrance door, waiting for his important announcement.

"I am so happy to share with you… that we've finally found my missing daughter… our Werewolf Princess, Stella!"

The crowd made a cheering noise upon hearing that. They couldn't wait to see Princess Stella.

"Let's all welcome… my daughter! Princess Stella!"
