Chapter 30: Invitation
"The letter is changing!" Elys announced.
Words began to scramble in front of the princess’ eyes. The ink on the paper glowed – shifting and altering itself until it formed a whole new set of lines to form a single paragraph.
And just like how it looked the first time she saw the letter, the ink slowly settled into a bright red hue with dark brown blots.
Henry stood straight and took a peek at the letter in the slave’s hands.
"An invitation to a ball..." the old man murmured under his breath.
Elys placed the paper back in front of Aleksander and watched his reaction unfold. His eyes were full of rage as he scanned the new contents of the paper. He clearly was out for words this time around.
The prince took in a deep breath. He knew whose penmanship it was. Although he hated the man since he was a boy, he couldn’t possibly deny the invitation now that they had opened it.
The vampire king’s magic was inevitably irrefutable.
"Dammit!" Aleksander cursed. He raised his golden eyes to meet the crimsons of Elys, and then hissed, "If you hadn’t taken this, we wouldn’t have to be forced to accept this trap!"
"Why?" Elys asked him, a blank look in her faked expressions.
"My father’s magic is that his words are irrefutable, both spoken and written," Aleksander mumbled, "how do you think he managed to stay in his position as King of thw West even as he had gone crazy?!"
