The princess almost got to him, but Aleksander was able to dodge.
"I can easily kill you right now, if you so wish to go down that path with me. But I won’t," he said, "I don’t know what you did to me, but somehow, I just find myself slowly being invested in everything about you."

"Do you not see me as someone who can levy you to where you want to be?" he asked her.
Elys stopped struggling for a second as she paused to think of a reply, "Well, now that you asked about it, funny how I used to think that I could use you to squeeze myself into the vampire society as I slowly kill your kind so I could liberate the remaining people of the Northern Kingdom."
"Then if you want to, I can do that once I get to the crown," Aleksander said, his eyes pleading, "Abandon your stubborn attitude, my dear wife, and we can get your revenge done as well."
"I don’t trust you enough, Prince Aleksander," Elys whispered in a hushed tone. "I lied when I told you that you could fight back against those that mock you. I don’t think you have it in you at all."
