h4Chapter 259: Debt Between The King and The Queen/h4

    (Author’s POV)

    "Come in," Jacob’s calm, aloof voice echoed from the other side of the door, as Elisa was still reeling from the past events in her mind.

    His words broke her chain of thoughts as she barged in, her meek and humble fa?ade gone. Now she marched with arrogance and haughtiness, towards the guest couch and settled on it like some queen dowager.

    Jacob was staring at her movements without much of an expression as he saw her sitting on the couch, crossing her legs, and striking amanding pose. She tapped the armrest with her pointy, edgy, ck painted nails and looked straight at Jacob. Her chin was slightly raised above the norm as she asked, "Why did you call for me?" Her tone was sharp.

    Jacob scoffed mockingly, pissing Elisa off even more. He wasn’t offended, but rather entertained by her pompous behavior. "Did I ask something funny, that you areughing like a joker, Jacob Larson?"

    Chris, who was standing behind Jacob, was irritated by her attitude. He jumped at her, as he reprimanded, his voice thunderous and imposing, "strongHOW DARE YOU ......?/strong How daring of you to talk to the Vampire King in that rude tone? Do you want to die? If you so wish to be called a deceased queen, I can make your wishe true?" His tone was menacing as he warned her.

    Elisa smirked and then snorted at Chris’s remark, "You are fucking, filthy, mere human peasant, dare to threaten me, Elisa, the Demon Queen. Do you think you, a hound dog, have any power to kill the likes of me? You cannot even touch a single hair on my skin. But I .... I can destroy anything and everything you love and cherish. So, you’d better be at your limit. And don’t dare to talk to me. It is revolting." She was nasty with her word choices as each blownded heavily on Chris. He clenched his teeth, tightening his jaw. He was about to add some more insult towards Elisa, but Jacob stopped him with a hand gesture as he said, "Chris ... give us some space. I want to talk to the Demon Queen alone."

    Chris Shadow didn’t want to leave Jacob’s side. He didn’t trust Elisa one bit. Personally, he never liked her as she always looked down on him and never talked with respect to his master.

    ’Demon Queen or not, she is snobbish, bitchy, arrogant, haughty, conceited, overbearing ... oh gosh, there is nothing good about her. Ohh no, there is actually .... there is .... And that is her face. Apart from that, not a single damn thing. If not for His Majesty, I would have never let her enter the domain. Bloody, rude ass bitch,’ Chris hurled colorful words at Elisa in his mind as he walked out of the room, his steps heavy.

    He smacked the door shut, leaving only the King of Vampires and Queen of Demons, Jacob Larson and Elisa Queens, in the office. For a few seconds, neither of the two said anything. Elisa red at Jacob while thetter was leaning on his chair and reading a document.

    "Have you had enough of your gawking? At this rate, you will bore a hole in my head," hemented, in his usual yful manner.

    "Jacob Larson .... Tell your dog to stay in hisne," Elisa said spitefully. "He is getting way ahead of himself."

    "Dog? Do I have one right now? I don’t think so. But when I buy one, I will make sure to teach him to stay on his path. Happy?" Jacob replied casually.

    Elisa rolled her eyes in exasperation as she barked, "You know very well whom I am talking about. Your filthy aide, who else? Anyway, why did you call for me? Just spout it already. I don’t have much time to waste in your office. I have better and more important things to do right now. My time is precious."

    Jacob threw his pen aside as it ttered on the ss table top. He stood up from his seat and walked towards Elisa, his facial expression calm yet dangerous, his footstepsposed yet domineering, ringing against the shiny marble floor. The aura he exuded was regal, autocratic, filled with authority.

    He took the seat opposite Elisa like a true and dignified King he was, as he started, "I think I am being way too lenient with you, Demon Queen Elisa. Ohh ... no, no, no, you aren’t the demon queen here, in my territory. You are just a shell of a demon, ying the role of a mere secretary. My secretary."

    Elisa clenched her fists in an iron grip, her spiky, stylishly manicured nails digging into her soft, smooth palms. Her nostrils red. She was fuming.

    Jacob chuckled at her reaction as he continued, "Why did I call for you here, in my office? You should already know about that, shouldn’t you? First of all, rein in that haughty attitude of yours. It will only be getting in your way."

    "And you need to get a hold of yourself as well, Jacob Larson. Remember well that you asked for my help first. You owe me a great debt. So, don’t you dare talk to me with that tone, ever again," Elisa rebuked in her defense as she arched her right eyebrow in defiance.

    Jacob became silent as he thought about ’the debt’ Elisa was talking about. His aloofness was gone, reced by a rare somber expression.

    After a long while, he said with a sigh, his voice neutral, "I know you have helped me when I needed it most. And I am grateful for that, truly ...... That is why I agreed to go along with your n in the first ce. You asked me to call the Lycan Alphas in Esteria. I did. You asked me to set up a meeting, and I did that as well. I gave you my secretary’s position so that those Lycans can’t suspect you. I gave you special privileges because you said you wanted to transfer temporarily as a student. All of this puts me in a difficult position, but still, I did it because I owe you a great deal. What more do you want now?" His voice was increasing louder and louder with each word he enunciated, his tone rough. The emotion he was showing now was contrasting with the normal coolness he had always donned.

    "Elisa ...... You aren’t acting your part right. If you so wish to get your powers back, get your act straight. You are my secretary, at least in those Everests eyes, you are. So, act like one," Jacob added, his words icy cold. "I have done whatever I could. Everything else, you will have to do on your own."

    Elisa’s eyes flickered with rare guilt. She knew from the start she was wrong, but she is too proud to ept it. Jacob was right. She needs to act the part right if she so wishes to get her powers back.

    "They all are wearing protective charms, infused with powerful magic, that are blocking me from getting through to any of them," Elisa confessed.

    ’Ohhhh~ ....... that is why she was acting distracted at the dining table,’ Jacob thought. He stifled a smirk somehow, ’They are well prepared. Well done, Lycans,’

    "Protective Charms?" Jacob feigned shock. "That is quite unfortunate," he mumbled under his breath.

    "I need it gone before I can proceed with my n," Elisa uttered.

    "Why? To regain your lost powers, the first step is to sleep with them. They are werewolves, after all, known for their animalistic instinct of lust and desire. And Elisa, you are a rare beauty in the immortal realm. I don’t think they would be able to resist your allure even with the protective charm," Jacob was hyping her up.

    Elisa pursed her lips, thinking hard. Jacob knew about Elisa’s n to sleep with the Everests brothers, so that she could get her powers back and safely return to the demon realm. It wouldn’t do the boys any harm, and he would be able to clear his debt to Elisa. To him, it was a fair deal.

    But what Elisa told Jacob was only half the truth.

    Her n to im the Lycans as her own and take them to the demon realm with her and keep them as her consorts, Jacob wasn’t aware of any of that. Because if he did, he wouldn’t agree to help her, even if it was to repay his debt.

    He would simply refuse it.

    Jacob Larson may seem aloof and cold on the outside. Other people may take him as a ruthless bloodsucking vampire who demeans every other person, but that was far from the truth. He, as the King of Vampires, has always been righteous and disciplined. He wasn’t someone to backstab his allies.

    Noah was well aware of Jacob’s true nature, which is why he sent his sons with confidence to Esteria.
