Chapter 554: Pain
"That’s not the answer to our questions, Sebastian," Noah walked behind his youngest brother’s son, who didn’t bother to look at him as he walked towards his cabin in the royal palace to get the important files he was working on.
"Well, there has to be some reason, no? You can’t just come and say you are not going to live in the royal palace out of the blue," Marcus said, looking at his brother, who wasn’t listening to anyone and just collecting the files.
"Has Princess Elliana denied staying here? Is it related to how you guys are not married anymore?" Georgette asked.
"Well, if that’s the case, it’s not like we are humans. You guys marked each other. We are open-minded about such things. We are vampires for crying out loud? Is it related to her witch family?" Ruth asked, and Sebastian took a deep breath before turning to them.
"I don’t know why there is a need to cause such a ruckus. I don’t stay at the royal palace either. I am out most of the time. So what difference does it really make?" Sebastian asked.
Abramo, who felt there was more to the story than Sebastian was letting them on, pressed his lips into a thin line.
"What is the actual matter, son? Why do you not want to live here? We thought we would be able to live together as a family after you become the king. It’s true, that we don’t have any right to ask you to stop after what we made you go through, but we still wanted it," Freya asked Sebastian, making the man feel guilty and he turned around, finally facing his family.
He took a deep breath and scratched his forehead.
The main reason why he wanted to stay away from them was because he didn’t want his family to discomfort his wife.
Now that the thing about her condition with siren powers was released, his princess would be more eager to get things done, and for that, she would take long training hours.
Naturally, the family members would want her attention too and they would want to enjoy things with her just like previous times when they had visited them and he was barely able to get a hold of her.
