Chapter 482: It was a death ceremony
"Where is Princess Elliana?" Vincenzo asked one of the maids when he didn’t find her in their assigned room or with any of the moms in the hall.
"The princess went to the terrace, sir," The maid bowed, and Vincenzo sighed.
He used his vampire speed to rush to the terrace. Every second was precious right now if he wanted to talk to her alone.
As soon as he reached the terrace, he looked at the girl who was standing near the railings of the terrace. Her stance screamed loneliness like she didn’t belong there.
Her long hair was braided in a single pigtail. However, even after that, he could see long strands of loose hair moving in the direction of the wind.
Her sundress that reached below her knees was also moving slightly with the direction of the wind, and he sighed.
"What are you doing here all alone, Princess? This isn’t your Black Skull Palace. What if someone kidnaps you?" Vincenzo tried to joke to ease her mood which was damp for obvious reasons.
Elliana didn’t turn to look at him.
In fact, she didn’t make any movement and Vincenzo contemplated if the girl even heard him before he took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders, ensuring he didn’t touch her.
"I can ask you the same question. What are you doing here, Prince Vincenzo?" Elliana finally turned to look at the prince and the latter shrugged his shoulders.
"Beat me for being so curious about what is going inside your head. You are going to make a blast the entire family and kingdom will remember for the rest of their lives. How could I not want to have early access to the plans?" Vincenzo asked with a soft smile on his face.
