Chapter 77: Vampire vs Werewolf
The princess had a hard time processing what seemed to be a proposition by Teo. Even though she kind of expected King Raxus to have sabotaged the mission he personally gave them, she didn’t really think Teo would offer to work around what the crazy king had instructed.
"Say that again," Elys said in a low whisper, "repeat what you just said, Teo."
The vampire knight smirked, and then said, "I just told you that I am offering you sanctuary once the bastard prince is gone."
Elys couldn’t begin to grasp at the possibilities that Teo had offered her. If she accepted, would the vampire knight actually give her more leverage than if she stayed with the bastard prince?
But putting that aside, would he even keep his promise?
What was her assurance?
Teo posed so many unknown variables. And even though he had been extremely polite with her with the seldom sarcasm thrown to her husband, Elys found it a lot difficult to trust Teo.
"What do you say, princess?" Teo asked her, "are you going to switch sides? I know Prince Aleksander had never treated you as a person, but I myself am different."
Elys was tongue tied.
There was a part of her that convinced her Teo’s offer was the better option rather than to stay with Aleksander. The man may be lower in rank compared to royalties of the Western Kingdom, but Teo was actually respected by many – something Prince Aleksander didn’t have.
She hesitated for several minutes on end.
