Chapter 74: Need for protection
Chapter-74
"What are you doing here, princess?"
Nothing was wrong with this question. It was a normal question that anyone would ask if they found her sitting in the middle of the terrace, drenched in the rain like she was.
It was the voice that shocked her.
How was that possible? Was he really here?
Elliana kept looking at the silhouette in pure surprise.
"By now, you should have answered the question, princess. Or do you not want to talk to me? Are you still angry about what happened?" His smile, his words, his long strides, his confidence, his smugness, everything was telling Elliana this was real, but she didn’t want to believe it.
How can it be real? There is no way he would come here. It was the vampire kingdom and the palace of the youngest prince they were talking about. It wasn’t some random forest where he could come and go -
Unless he is a witch too, Elliana had always given the benefit of the doubt to this theory in her mind. The way he always appeared and disappeared in the past and how he appeared that day near the forest and vanished as soon as Alcinder arrived. It was just like how Yaretzi described them.
They can come and go without leaving a hint of their presence. Maybe that was the reason why no one could sense him on her even when he almost hugged her.
She didn’t answer. Elliana didn’t want to. So rather than facing him and feeling her resolution about not talking to him break just like that, she turned around and faced the forest instead.
