Chapter 263: View from the Balcony
Evanna inhaled sharply at the sound of Arawn’s voice. Her attention moved passed Conrad to the elven prince who’d entered the balcony. He strode forwards confidently, glaring at the Demon Prince. Conrad smirked, turning around to face Arawn until ice flourished across the floor, making him slip on the spot.
Evanna’s breath hitched, her heart sounding loud in her ears as she watched in horror as Conrad fell backwards off the balcony. However, her shock turned to astonishment when she saw his body suspended horizontally in mid-air. A quick glance at Arawn revealed that he was utilising his other ability to prevent the prince from completely falling.
"Not so mighty now, Conrad," Arawn smirked, a dangerous glint in his eye. "I left you with a warning and a small punishment. I shan’t do that this time."
"Arawn..." Evanna warned, slowly stepping towards her prince without slipping on the lethal icy surface. "Don’t."
Arawn’s gaze cut to her. He didn’t look pleased. "Please," she added. "For me?"
The elven prince looked back at Conrad. This Demon did not deserve Evanna’s mercy. She was too kind. Arawn heard everything said between them and despised the prince even more.
Whilst they were engaged in a fierce staring contest, King Nuvian watched the trio on the balcony from the banquet hall. "*How fascinating,*" King Nuvian muttered. The window had a clear view from where he stood.
Queen Iolena stopped beside the king, wondering what took his attention away from the deadly dance floor, which now had a few droplets of blood from terrible dance partners caught under the swift falling icicles of the ceiling.
"*What holds your attention, Nuvi?*" She asked, stroking his wings gently before following his gaze.
