Chapter 113: Don’t disobey me

"Aaah, so the princess is finally here," Victoria said, and Stephano immediately looked towards the stairs.

Elliana’s face was neutral, not full of life and emotions like he had seen when he arrived the last time.

Was she getting better or worse under the influence of Sebastian? What are the chances that Sebastian was bullying her, and that’s why she was looking like this? He would’ve believed this theory if he hadn’t seen what happened earlier.

Then again, what if Sebastian took her into seclusion to scold her? This can be used against Sebastian, and he can tell his grandpa that Sebastian isn’t taking his orders well. But he would have to wait and observe that. A sly smile appeared on Stephano’s face as he stood from his place.

"Greetings, Princess," Stephano said, and Elliana, who was still lost in her thoughts of what Marcello said, looked at the man before smiling softly.

"Greetings, Elder Prince," Elliana nodded before bowing to Abramo in respect. She waited and looked at Victoria, unsure if she was a relative.

"She is one of my older cousins," Sebastian said, and Elliana nodded.

"Greetings, Miss -"

"Mrs. Victoria," The girl said, raking her gaze up and down Elliana’s body.

For a human who was living in a vampire kingdom, she was looking quite okay. If it wasn’t for her scent and that fast-pumping organ in her chest, Victoria would have thought this girl was a vampire too because of how beautiful she was.

"You were quite scared earlier," Victoria commented, and Elliana smiled.

"Pardon me for not knowing anything about shapeshifters. I am yet to get used to this supernatural world. I hope my little incident won’t bother you guys and force a scaredy cat first impression of mine on you," Elliana’s words were countering and precise, and Victoria didn’t like how this girl was able to talk while looking straight into her eyes.

If it had been any other human, they would’ve bowed down to her for mercy already.

Was it because she was sure Sebastian won’t let anything happen to her? Wasn’t this girl putting too much confidence in Sebastian? It might be because she was yet to see what kind of monster her husband can turn into. Victoria scoffed and Sebastian looked at Elliana.

But what was this aura she was emanating?

"Why are you standing there? Sit down," Sebastian’s voice was curt and cold, and everyone thought he was having mood swings again, but Elliana, who saw his gaze flickering to her legs, immediately understood he was worrying about her wounded legs and smiled.

"Would you like to have some snacks? Let me arrange them for you while you guys talk," Elliana smiled and turned, ready to go into the kitchen to order the chef when Sebastian stood and held her hand.

"I said sit down," Sebastian’s eyes turned dark.

Abramo narrowed his eyes at his youngest grandson.

Was he trying to control this human girl in front of him? If Sebastian was like this when the family was here, what does he do when they are alone?

"Don’t worry. I am fine. It doesn’t even hurt," Elliana looked least bothered by the sudden change in his demeanor, and Sebastian narrowed his eyes into slits.

He held her hand and pulled her to the corner, making her raise her brows in shock.

Was she really doing something wrong? The wife of the owner of the house is supposed to tend to the guests when they arrive, or did she read it wrong? Elliana was confused, and Sebastian looked back at his family momentarily before shaking his head and leaning towards Elliana.

"Why are you so hellbent on disobeying me?" Sebastian narrowed his eyes as he looked at Elliana and cupped her jaws, rubbing his thumb on her lips.

"Because I read somewhere that it’s the duty of the wife of the owner to tend to his family and guests with snacks when they visit," Elliana said with the most innocent expression, trying her best to stay unfazed by his proximity and touch.

Why was the prince acting like this? His family was right here in the same hall. What would they think of them? What if they think that they were being shameless and disrespectful? They might scold him for what she was doing. It was better to just obey his orders, rather than create any problem.

Elliana’s head got messed up with all the overthinking as she nodded at herself, and Sebastian, who could clearly hear what she was thinking because her mind barrier was not up, smirked.

How cute can his princess be? He smiled inside the mask and looked at her with a soft expression.

"Do you think I am being shameless, princess?" He mused.

"Yes," Elliana said without a second thought before widening her eyes when she realized her slip-up.

"N-no, I mean, you are not being shameless, how can I think of that? Hahaha... I mean to say, yes, I will obey you from now on," Elliana said, and Sebastian shook his head.

"It’s not about my orders. I don’t want you to serve anyone. The chef will bring the necessary things and snacks himself and Miss Zoya is there for such work. You are already wounded. I don’t want you to get hurt again," Sebastian held her hands, the slight touch making Elliana bite her lips, and Sebastian rubbed his thumb on her lips again.

"You don’t have the right to get hurt under my supervision. Only I can hurt you," Sebastian’s words were both misleading and discomforting, and Elliana’s pupils dilated at his words.

What did he mean by that? Was he planning something against her? Has he found out about things? She gulped.

"Don’t bite your lips, Princess. They are for me to bite. Don’t hurt what’s mine. Only I can hurt them," Sebastian leaned, and Elliana finally understood the meaning behind his words.

Her eyes widened, and her heart started beating at a fast pace, making Sebastian smile and place his forehead on her.

"Stupid girl, what am I going to do with you?" He asked.

"Umm... Take care?" Elliana whispered softly, and he chuckled lowly, loud enough for only Elliana to hear it.

"Of course. Now come and sit down with me," Sebastian brushed her cheeks with his knuckles before tucking a strand of hair behind her ears.
