Chapter 10: A Prince’s Dilemma
Aleksander noted the slave had been wrapped in a black cloak. Frustrated that he could only make out her tiny figure but not her covered face, the vampire prince grimaced.
There was an entourage of servants behind them carrying luggage, walking as fast as they could to keep up with the vampire knight’s trotting horse.
The knight’s hood fell off, and Aleksander noted it was one of the younger knights. Teo’s golden locks stood out, getting soaking wet in the rain as his horse came to a halt.
The prince’s blood servant welcomed the knight and his company, and the man handed over a limp lady for them to take care of.
It looked as if he was just dropping cargo.
Not even a precious one at that with the way he tossed the cloaked woman like she was nothing.
Teo, the vampire knight, rode off towards the Ardorlean’s castle right after – leaving behind the bastard prince’s household to take care of someone who was totally unwanted.
Aleksander drank the last of his glass of blood, and with a flick of his hand, sent the glass hurtling past the attendant who stood by the door.
The breaking of glasses echoed in the bastard prince’s chamber right in time thunder roared in the skies.
The broken glass nearly nicked the attendant’s right cheek, but Henry stood still where he was, unfazed by his master’s sudden outburst of disapproval.
"The king has ordered for the wedding to take place tomorrow at the first crack of dawn, your highness." Henry said without flinching.
