“Oh.” Alora contemplated why Magnus had to go out for blood. Was she too weak to provide him the blood? She truly wanted to let him drink her blood since Magnus helped her a lot.
“Why doesn’t Miss Alora request His Highness to send you back? Your family must be worried for you. I heard from the Head Chamberlain that the humans with you were brutally murdered.” Cecilia made her remember the memory of the last night.
Alora didn’t comment on that and remained silent.
Cecilia wished Alora should go on her own from the palace. It was impossible to work around her without being feared. So, these were some of the few ways that she could use to make Alora feel guilty and leave.
“Miss Alora can tell His Highness how she wishes to return to her family. He will readily agree to it since keeping a human around hasn’t happened before,” Cecilia explained to her.
“I’m sorry for providing inconvenience to you. I’ll ask His Highness not to let anyone in my assistance. You don’t have to be scared of me,” Alora stated in her humble tone.
Cecilia sensed that Alora had no intention to leave the palace. But why?
“The Prince has returned,” informed another servant, who brought an instant smile to Alora’s lips. She was excited to see him. Extending her hand out, she took slow, deliberate steps. By now, she knew in what direction the door was, so it wasn’t difficult for her to walk toward it.
Cecilia went behind her since Alora should not get hurt in any way or Magnus would kill her. She held Alora’s arm gently and told her she would take her to the Prince’s chamber.
Alora looked excited and thanked her for the help. Soon, they were in the prince’s chamber and Cecilia took her leave.
“What is Miss Alora doing here?” Tobias’ voice fell into her ears, which was new to her.
“I came to see His Highness the Vampire Prince,” Alora replied.
“He will rest for some time. The day was loaded with work for the prince,” Tobias humbly informed her.
“Oh.”
Tobias left first while Alora opened her blindfold. She decided to greet the prince once and then leave for her place. Alora went ahead in search of Magnus and ended up reaching his bedroom.
It was the grandest bedroom she had ever seen. Stepping ahead, Alora’s feet jammed on the floor as she saw sight of Magnus undressing. Her eyes widened when the Vampire Prince turned to her and their eyes met.
“Please, forgive me,” Alora promptly turned around and decided to run out of the bedroom.
“Stop right there!” Magnus ordered, and Alora halted at her place. “Close the door,” he added.
“Huh? Why?” Alora asked in a trembling voice and gulped.
“Don’t ask questions. Just close the door, Alora,” Magnus said with a stern tone.
“I’ll come after His Highness changes his clothes.” Alora went toward the door, ignoring his command when with a gush of wind Magnus appeared in front of her. The door was shut with a loud voice and Alora’s breath hitched.
Fortunately, Alora had closed her eyes, so she couldn’t see Magnus’ naked sight. “Your Highness, if anyone comes here and sees us together, then the matter can escalate. I shall wait for His Highness outside in the lounge,” she humbly said despite being feared.
“I don’t wish to let you go,” Magnus whispered in her ear.
Realizing Magnus’s closeness, Alora promptly opened her eyes and tilted her head to gaze at him. “I won’t ever enter Your Highness’ bedroom without his permission. Please, forgive me this time,” Alora said as her lips trembled.
“What if I don’t want to forgive you?” Magnus inquired.
“Why? Your Highness, everyone makes mistakes, even princes,” Alora spoke gently, attempting to calm him after her release.
“I NEVER perceive my bad actions as mistakes. I’ll forgive you once you open your eyes and truly see me,” Magnus declared firmly.
“What? No! I couldn’t possibly gaze upon Your Highness,” Alora adamantly refused to open her eyes.
“Then, you’ve to stay the entire night here,” Magnus stated and took a step away from her.
Immediately, Alora opened her eyes and looked at him. Magnus was not naked. He already was in his clothes and had been enjoying the expressions on her face.
“Such a cute little human!” Magnus smiled and walked past her to sit on the reclining comfortable chair.
Alora realized he was teasing her and even enjoyed the way she reacted. “Why did Your Highness act as if he was… without clothes?” her voice lowered along with her gaze.
“Because it was fun to see your facial expressions,” Magnus replied. “Did you miss me?” he then asked, bringing her attention to him.
“No,” Alora lied.
“Then, why did you look so desperate to see me?” Magnus questioned her.
“I wasn’t desperate,” Alora stated.
Magnus cocked his eyebrow at her in amusement.
“I did miss His Highness a little,” Alora then replied.
Meanwhile, Magnus kept his finger on his temple, engrossed in reading the parchment, while Alora let her eyes wander around the opulent bedroom, still marveling at its magnificence.
“You seem to like my bedroom,” Magnus said as he put back the parchment on the small, circular table.
“Yes,” Alora answered with a glint in her eyes.
“Do you wish to be in this bedroom?” Magnus asked.
“Why would I live in Your Highness’s bedroom?” Alora inquired.
