Chapter 79
- Sir Carter seemed to be happy about the prince getting reprimanded because he jeered at him while I saw Prince Virgil clench his fists helplessly but King Cassius’s next words certainly took us all by surprise.
- “Virgil, you’re the mighty prince of Luceras, you’re not expected to get into fights for any reason, I expect you to take what you want. I had given her away to Sir Carter and if you wanted her, you could have just asked. Never do anything that is below your status.” King Cassius said with an emotionless expression. The shock that instantly registered on Sir Carter’s face was so funny that it was almost impossible not to laugh but I remembered the type of situation I’m currently in so I just placed my hand over my mouth and giggled silently. This King Cassius is certainly one hell of an unpredictable man. Not only are his expressions unreadable, you never know what to expect.
- A smile lit Prince Virgil’s face at King Cassius’s words. “I apologize to you brother, for my misbehavior, there won't be a chance for repetition but I think it’s already obvious, I want the girl.” Prince Virgil said licking his bottom lip and I could only gulp. It almost seems like I’m going from one problem to another but he couldn’t be as bad as Sir Carter, right? I don’t even think I wanna find out. I’m finding a way out of here as soon as the others leave the room but a realization suddenly hits me. If I do manage to escape which already seems to be virtually impossible, all my efforts would have been for nothing, plus, I would become a fugitive. Prince Virgil has assumed the role of my master so if I escape, a lot of vampires would be out looking for me. Where would I even go? I barely even know this place so I wouldn’t even survive half a day if I’m on the run, they would easily catch me and probably kill me and everything would be finished. I would never get to leave this place and what about my Nevaeh and Kayden and everyone else? As my mind calculated the grave consequences of any impulse action of mine, it sent chills through me. This is obviously a vampire’s world and if I wish to survive here, I have to be very smart, cunning even. I can’t afford to make any mistakes or make any hasty decisions or it’ll only end up badly for me. I have to focus, I have to survive at all costs, I have to finish this mission so Kayden and I can get the hell out of here.
