Chapter 76: Pity
"Ah, princess," the vampire knight sighed, "it seems like you caught me off-guard."
Teo turned his head further to look at Elys’ face. He was fascinated how she could be so cold-hearted and ready to kill, and was curious with what expression she wore as she said those threatening words.
As much as the princess was a human, she somehow deserved a recognition as an honorary vampire as she shared the ruthlessness of most vampires did for their enemy.
He sneaked in a chuckle, to which the princess didn’t appreciate him doing.
"Shut up!" Elys said as she brought the sword closer to his neck, nicking him slightly, "Tell me your real intentions, Teo. Was this a ploy by the vampire king?"
The knight closed his eyes and let out a long sigh. He was silent for several seconds too long for comfort that Elys started to feel uneasy. What sinister plan was brewing inside his head?
The princess gripped the sword tighter, and then swiftly pulled it much closer to Teo’s throat.
"Speak, Teo," she slowly put pressure on the blade as it dug into his throat’s thin skin, "If not, I will just have to kill you since you are useless."
"You won’t be able to kill me," Teo snickered.
