Chapter 74: Traitor
Elys gritted her teeth as she and Aleksander turned on each other.
The warrior princess wasn’t entirely successful with her initial attack to the prince. As fast and precise as she was with any weapon in hand, the prince and his inherent vampire senses was far greater than hers that dodging the dagger was as easy as breathing.
It was only a matter of luck that Elys was even able to nick him on his right shoulder.
"Why are you doing this? You are attacking innocent lives!" Elys yelled as she jumped back when Aleksander swung his sword towards her.
Elys was puzzled with the prince’s sudden violent attacks. She knew he was evil in his own way, but she had always thought the prince was too much of an arrogant man.
He didn’t even lift a finger to defend himself from the bandits back then even when he was capable to do it himself! If he wouldn’t even make the first move, how much more to attack on his own volition.
Her eyes glanced at the scrolls scattered on the floor. Glowing letters that shifted every other second caught her attention, and the memory of the letter she had accepted from Teo flashed at the back of her head.
She concentrated on the scroll nearest to her, and just as she had suspected, it was definitely the same with the ball invitation they had received from the vampire king.
’Magic!’ the thought instantly occurred in her mind, ’The vampire king never intended to make peace with the Zemyaturs! He knew one of us would inevitably be forced to read the scrolls and wrote something to cause disorder.’
