Chapter 7: Choosing a Vampire over your family
Alora blinked rapidly since Magnus asked a question, which definitely made her feel nervous. She couldn't return to her family in the capital.
"It seems your family hates you," Magnus pronounced while playing with his ring.
"No, they don't," Alora replied promptly.
"You cannot lie to me. Usually, a person if gets saved, then the first thing he wants to do is to return to his family. However, you didn't ask me to send you back. Though, you insisted at first not to take you as a servant. If there would be another woman at your place, she would have begged me to let her go." Magnus had observed already that Alora didn't get the love from her family.
"You are the eldest daughter, but instead of marrying you off, your family decided to send you far away so that their second daughter can get married." Magnus continued to tell her the observations he had made so far.
"Your Highness, the table is set for Miss Alora," a female servant informed in her humble tone.
Alora looked at the blindfold in her hand and almost tied it around her eyes when Magnus took it from her. She stood up and tried to take the blindfold from her.
"Tell everyone at the dining hall to shut their eyes," Magnus ordered the servant. She bowed and left the chamber to comply with the command.
Magnus held Alora's hand and began walking with her. She felt strange because nobody ever held her hand and nobody ever asked her not to wear the blindfold.
