Chapter 256: A little bedtime story- a story of the past
"Welcome to reality, Princess Elliana," the man whispered, Elliana’s eyes wide and filled with nothing but terror.
"No matter what you say, Mr. Marino won’t spare you from touching what belongs to him," Elliana stuttered.
The man in front of her with scarlet red eyes and pearly white fangs, looked directly into her eyes as if he wanted to look into her soul before he smiled.
"Is that so, princess? Is that what your so-called Mr. Marino has been telling you?" The man smiled before he let go of her hand.
"Would you like to listen to a story? Let me tell you anyways," the man turned his back to her and Elliana looked around, hoping to find something that she could use on this man to catch him off guard and run far away from here, probably to the family members who might actually protect her.
"It’s a story of two boys, both of them almost similar in character. If one was a devil, the other one was a beast. They never got along with each other. It was tough for them to not want to dominate each other," The man walked to the chair, touching the armrest of it before he closed the door.
"Since they never got along, whenever the family used to gather for any kind of functions or celebrations, they didn’t leave a chance to humiliate each other. You see, both of them were the same, but the treatment they got was worlds apart," the man turned to her before shrugging.
"It was nepotism and partiality at its best. While one got scolded terribly, locked into the dungeons with the creepiest deadly vampire offenders, and got traumatized for his life, the other one just got a warning to never do anything like that again. Both of them killed a human, so shouldn’t they get the same punishment? But no," The man sighed.
Elliana didn’t like where this was going. This didn’t sound like just any random story. It sounded like it was close to this man somehow and the other boy he was talking about was no one other than her Mr. Marino.
