Chapter 81: After the Chaos
"Crown Prince..." Teo said in a low drawl, his mouth halfway open. "It wasn’t my fault; I did everything that was asked of me..."
Elys withdrew her hand from Aleksander’s chest. She signaled with her eyes, and the bastard prince stood up and turned his focus on the vampire knight.
Teo turned silent for a second, but then his murmurings turned into full blown screams. Aleksander had tailored for him specific things that would surely scare the shit out of him and keep his head occupied as long as Aleksander wished.
The bastard prince then turned to Elys, his eyes burning with curiosity and awe. What the princess did to him back when they rode the carriage was as real as it got. She was keeping magic within her, and now she has finally shown her capacity with her own volition.
"You didn’t answer my question, Elysianne," Aleksander spoke.
The princess noticed the drastic shift in his voice. He never spoke to her in such a soft manner before – what had changed with him?
Elys rubbed her arm, and then looked away as she said, "I don’t want to talk about it right now."
She turned towards the bloody mess that they had brought with them, several dead people and animals scattered along the throne room’s floor. Fur and feathers were everywhere as well.
"Alright," Aleksander replied to her, "I will leave that for the time being."
