Chapter 4: A curse that can burn anyone
Alora secured the blindfold over her eyes before placing her feet on the ground. "Miss Alora, I'm Cecilia, the attendant in your service. His Highness has ordered me earlier to help you whenever you find my need," she said and approached Alora.
It was the first time Magnus brought a woman to the palace of Elmswood. However, Cecilia didn't expect the Vampire Prince to bring a blind woman with him. She held Alora's arm and guided her toward the large washroom.
"How did Miss Alora find the Vampire Prince? Are you blind by birth?" Cecilia curiously asked while arranging the bathing materials near the bathtub.
"I can see everything. I'm not blind. My gaze burns people away, so I keep the blindfold on," Alora truthfully told her.
Cecilia stopped at once upon hearing Alora's reply. She turned around while knitting her brows together. "Are you the noble daughter of the High Chancellor, Norman Wilson, in the capital?" she promptly inquired.
"Yes," Alora quickly responded.
Cecilia gulped in fear and wondered how come Alora got out of her house. "Why did Miss Alora Wilson leave her house?" she then asked.
Alora didn't expect such a question to come from her. "I wanted to spend some time in my father's old estate in Elmswood." She came up with an excuse. It was not a good idea to tell an unknown the reason why she had to leave her own house. People would only gossip instead of being understanding.
Cecilia left the washroom telling Alora everything. Once the door shut, Alora again removed the blindfold and locked the door from inside. "What if they ask their prince to throw me out? I don't even know where Father's old house is?" Alora mumbled to herself.
