Chapter 11 --11 Stephano
"I hope only in a sisterly manner. Let’s not forget I have a husband now, someone I have started to like already," Elliana’s eyes dropped to Stephano’s hand gripping hers, and the latter removed his hand awkwardly, his admiring eyes not moving from her face.
Sebastian looked at the girl with a neutral expression before walking inside the hall where his grandpa already left.
"Why are you sitting there?" The old man asked when he saw Elliana sitting at the other corner of the table.
"I am a pure vegetarian, and Mr. Marino has allowed me to eat at some distance. It’s not like this distance of a few minutes really makes a difference when we spend our whole day together, right?" Elliana smiled and sat on her seat elegantly once everyone sat.
Once the food was served, Abramo looked at his youngest grandson before putting his fork down.
"Sebastian, I came here to meet your bride, but my purpose was to ask you about the vampires from your palace near the council," The old man asked, extending his powerful aura that made Elliana’s hair on her neck stand and Sebastian, who was least bothered by his overbearing aura, paused his cutlery and looked at the man he has grown with calling grandpa.
"I don’t know what you are talking about," Sebastian said, and Abramo clenched his fists around the fork.
Around all his grandkids, his youngest grandson, Sebastian, has been someone he has never been able to tame or find something against. It is so hard to read him all the time. He always has this cold aura around him that keeps everyone away like a large wall.
Sebastian’s father, Leonardo, was the same. However, he had turned like this after he became a king. But to say Sebastian has surpassed his father would be an understatement.
And this constant mask on his face that makes it hard to read his facial expressions is another thing that gets on his nerves.
After losing both his parents, Sebastian has become someone not to reckon with, and his power and aura are only increasing. If this continues, Abramo won’t be surprised if Sebastian makes it impossible for Stephano to get on the throne. He has surprised his other elder siblings too.
