Chapter 14 --14 A lullaby
"Miss Zoya, I am not too sure about having some snacks in the dining room alone. The table is already so big there. It feels already lonely with the prince. How awkward it’s going to look with me alone?" Elliana murmured.
She was sitting with her hands dangling from the bed as she flailed them and talked to Miss Zoya.
"If you want, I can sit with you. I don’t know how you eat, but I have read that humans do have evening snacks," Miss Zoya said like she was talking about some animal, and Elliana thinned her lips.
"Don’t tell me you read some kind of journal about humans created by vampires," Elliana narrowed her eyes, and Miss Zoya looked away awkwardly when it was exactly what she did.
"I seriously can’t believe you. We guys are just like you. Just without those powers and craving for blood," Elliana commented before taking a deep breath.
"Fine. Let’s eat something. I was honestly thinking about eating something. I am glad you came and asked," Elliana grinned, and Miss Zoya, who had initially thought the princess might feel bad, sighed in relief.
"Great. Let’s go," Elliana said, and they walked to the door.
As they walked out, Elliana stopped before turning to her right, where her eyes met nothing.
Was it just her? Why did it feel like someone was standing here? Even when the prince and his secretary came earlier, she had felt a shadow of someone else. Was she hallucinating now? Elliana shrugged before following Miss Zoya to the dining room.
Blue, who had rushed behind the window hastily, breathed a sigh of relief. She was distracted by her text message. She can’t afford such mistakes on her first day.
Once Elliana sat on the chair, since the prince was not in the palace, the chef personally came to place the dishes in front of the princess.
