Chapter 225: Only if she wasn’t human
"Now that you have said these things, my heart is more at ease, and I know that I didn’t betray my prince by lying to him about whether I saw you there or not," Lucas said before he widened his eyes.
"Princess, why are you sitting on the ground? You shouldn’t be," he quickly helped her up, and she smiled sheepishly.
"Honestly, I am happy that you are by his side. You don’t need to worry about anything. Even if no one in this palace or kingdom supports or trusts you, you’ll always have my support," Lucas smiled at her.
"Thank you for everything you have done for me, Mr. Pabalo," Elliana smiled holding his hand between hers in gratitude that he wasn’t going to rat her out.
"And what exactly are you thankful for?" They heard a cold voice, and Lucas and Elliana turned to Sebastian, who was standing at the entrance of the room.
He looked at the duo with raised brows before his gaze shifted to Lucas’s hand between Elliana’s, and he looked back into his subordinate’s eyes who immediately recognized the dangerous vibes.
Lucas quickly removed his hand from Elliana’s grip before coughing to hide his awkwardness.
"What are you doing here?" Sebastian asked Lucas, and the subordinate, who didn’t have anything to tell, looked at his feet.
"I... I was merely intrigued by -"
"By?" Sebastian tilted his head as he walked to them, his every step closer to Lucas, making Lucas clench his hand harder as he felt the danger radiating from his prince’s body.
He remembered what the prince had done to that witch impersonating the vampire maid because she stole the princess’s attention and dared to touch her.
