GRAND LORD VLADYA

Grand Lord Vladya gazed out into the night, his arms crossed as he stood at the center of the tower of Blackwood. His mind wandered far from his present location.

His mood remained as dark as ever, though he refused to analyze the reasons behind it.

Frankly, his moods had rarely been sunshine in the past few hundred years, so he believed there was no specific cause.

He had lost control of himself. When he recalled half of the things he had said, it made him grimace.

Vladya refused to believe that the person who had raged because the human princess undressed for Zaiper was him.

So what if the girl was attracted to the second ruler? It should mean nothing to him. He didn't even like the girl, so what the hell was that?

The fact that she had captured the attention of every male in court, their eyes greedily taking in her naked form, shouldn't have upset him so much.
