Chapter 256: Pay attention (1)
In the palace, Juliana sought out Darius to have a moment alone without Vivienne.
Vivienne stayed true to her word and kept Darius to herself, so Juliana was more worried about how long she had to stay in the palace.
As long as she slept with Darius, Juliana thought she could save her place a little.
"Where are you going in such a rush?"
Juliana stopped, almost stumbling when she heard Natalie’s voice. She thought she was hearing wrong at first, but to her right, Natalie walked with her brother behind her.
"Why are you here?" Juliana asked, looking around for any of Vivienne’s spies. "You didn’t tell me about this."
"I don’t need to tell you my every move. Then that would make it seem like you rule me. I came to the palace because it is time I speak with the king. Is he in there?" Natalie questioned, looking ahead at the door with two guards outside.
"I believe he is in there. Are you well? You don’t look well," Juliana noticed again.
Natalie smiled, even though she wasn’t well. She wasn’t getting enough blood even though her brother had been going out bringing humans for her to feed on.
Natalie didn’t have any other choice than to come to the palace since there should be more blood here. Also, she grew tired of everyone making a mockery of her since Vivienne no longer welcomed her in the palace. She had to use her brother’s connections to come today.
Juliana didn’t believe Natalie was well, but she didn’t want to make the mistake of caring for Natalie again. "I was going to speak to him, but you can go. Go inside before anyone notices. Vivienne doesn’t leave his side for long. It is like she has fallen in love with him."
