Chapter 159: His next move
In the afternoon, Magnus went to see Rubin at his house. His plan was to see him in the morning, but when the urgent matter came, he had to postpone it.
Magnus stepped out of the carriage as the coachman opened its door. He looked in front of him at the house, which Tobias had arranged for Rubin.
Tobias went ahead of the prince and knocked on the door. After a minute the door opened and Rubin showed himself. He was astonished to see the prince in front of his door and he promptly bowed to greet him.
"Won’t you invite me in?" asked Magnus.
"Please, do come in," Rubin courteously invited, stepping aside to allow them entry. Magnus gracefully ascended the two steps and entered the house, with Tobias trailing behind.
"I was under the impression that Prince Magnus preferred not to see me," Rubin remarked once Magnus had settled comfortably on the sofa. When Rubin suggested Tobias sit, he remained standing, prompting Magnus to gesture for him to take a seat as well, while he turned his attention back to Rubin.
"Have a seat, Rubin," Magnus said.
Rubin hummed and sat on the sofa chair.
"You cannot join the Vampire Council. The reason is simple: you are a human," Magnus stated.
Rubin didn’t argue to hear that. "I understand. I thought I would be considered to enter the council as Princess Alora was," he murmured.
"Alora possesses unique eyes. She saved my brother, that’s why the King and the Elders let her enter the council," Magnus asserted.
