The Masked Vampire King's Accidental Bride
Chapter 224: It’s true, I am that girl.

Chapter 224: It’s true, I am that girl.

Sebastian walked inside the room after their meeting and looked at the princess who was sprawled on the bed like a starfish.

She really has no sense of security whatsoever. He sighed before he picked her in his arms and laid her properly, placing a pillow under her head.

So calm and serene. That’s how she was looking right now, and he sighed. No one was ready to agree that Elliana was the same girl who went there to protect them, and though every reasoning was saying that she couldn’t be there, his heart was telling him that it was her only.

There is no way he can mistake her presence with someone else.

"What are you hiding from me, princess? If you are strong, you are strong. Why do you feel the need to hide it from me? What are you scared of?" Sebastian whispered before kissing her forehead.

He didn’t want to elaborate on his suspicions earlier. His people have started to take the princess’s side more. This girl had won their heart, and he didn’t want to make empty accusations. That’s why he kept it to himself.

However, everything happening around him was indicating one thing only. Some witch was helping Elliana, but why, was still a mystery.

Those dark energy circles in her drawing file, the presence of someone outside his balcony, and the presence of Elliana on the scene but the disappearance of the evidence, everything was pointing at one thing.

Sebastian massaged his forehead and lay on his side of the bed, sighing at his princess who was sleeping without a care in the world.

She was the culprit here and look at her. Sebastian shook his head before he closed his eyes, remembering the punishment he gave to his princess. A small smile appeared on his face before he groaned when his member started to feel alive again.

’Stop it. I can’t just wake her up because you are feeling aroused. We have to keep our desires in control if we don’t want to scare her,’ Sebastian looked at his manhood before he realized something.

Wait a second. The activity in the bathroom today was supposed to be a punishment, right? Then why the hell did he allow the princess to reach her climax twice, but he only had it once? Wasn’t this a winning situation for her? What kind of punishment was this? Sebastian scowled at the girl who was smiling in her sleep as if mocking him.

Stupid girl.

I’ll punish you some other time for sure and that time I would ensure that you don’t get off for quite some time and wither under me. Sebastian thought with his clenched fists before he held her hand and pulled her close, making her immediately sprawl her legs on top of him.

He sighed before closing his eyes and letting sleep take over.

~~~~~

The next morning~~~

Elliana walked out of her bathroom, dressed in a baby pink sundress that reached below her knees. She pulled a pair of white sneakers before wearing them.

She was ready for the new day, the new day where she knew she would be asked too many questions, and this time around, for some reason, she was ready to answer a few of them.

She wore her matching cute pink pearl earrings before wearing her pink crystal bracelet.

She looked at all the things Mr Marino kept asking Miss Zoya to add to her accessories and sighed.

If she didn’t know that he was planning to leave her after getting the throne, she would’ve really thought that he had fallen for her and was trying to spoil her. Elliana shook her head to keep the negative thoughts at bay.

She needed all the positive energy in the world to tackle those questions calmly.

She was about to apply a little blush to her cheeks, feeling strangely happy, when she heard a soft knock on the door.

She scrunched her brows.

Who could it be? If it had been Miss Zoya, she would’ve addressed her immediately, and if it had been Mr. Marino, he wouldn’t have waited for so long after knocking.

She looked at her appearance and nodded. She looked decent enough.

"Come in," She said softly.

It was Lucas who opened the door slightly, not entering the room to respect her.

"Mr. Pabalo? What are you doing here? Did you need something?" She asked, trying to keep her emotions in control.

Lucas looked at her observantly before humming.

"Answers to a few questions, Princess," Lucas said, and Elliana immediately understood what he wanted to ask.

She nodded.

"Please enter," She said, not saying anything about closing the door since it wouldn’t be appropriate.

Lucas nodded and walked towards her.

"I am sure you already know what I want to ask,"

"I am sorry, I don’t. Can you elaborate?" Elliana looked him straight in the eyes, and though her gaze was still soft and innocent like always, something about her stance was extremely defensive.

Lucas took a deep breath.

"Last night, you were there. You protected me from those rogue vampires, and I am extremely grateful to you for that," Lucas sat on his knees to bow in front of her, showing her his utmost respect, and Elliana bit her lower lips.

"I know that you will say you weren’t there, and you don’t know what I am talking about, but I saw you, Princess. I know it was you, and though I lied to my prince and said it wasn’t you, every cell of my body knew it was you," Lucas paused and took a deep shaky breath.

"You are someone I respect dearly and care for as my madam. So there’s no way, I couldn’t have recognized those amber eyes who always get wide in shock and shyness. So please don’t disregard my respect for you," Lucas placed his hand on her foot, and something struck inside Elliana.

"Please, don’t be like this, Mr. Pabalo," Elliana looked around, fidgeting.

She had all the plans of lying again to him and sticking to her ’I don’t know what you are talking about’ plan, but seeing him like this, she couldn’t help but bite her lower lips.

Lucas knew she was melting, and he smiled inwardly. He knew this plan would work, the plan to get the truth out of her and get her to agree with things.

She is such a soft-hearted person. No matter how strong or what she becomes, Lucas has observed her and knows that she can’t handle things properly when someone is polite to her. Her soft heart was her weakness.

It also helped that he really respected her a lot, and that’s why touching her feet and bowing to her wasn’t hard for him.

"I... I... "

"I am not going to ask you how you managed to get those wolves to help you or how and where you learned using that sword, all I want to ask you is your intentions with my prince," Lucas asked before looking up at her.

"I was the one who defended you in all the situations, and whenever the prince said that he suspects you, I always tried to find reasons to nullify his suspicions, but now I think he was right.

I am still not going to believe that you are going to betray him. But can you tell me what you have in your mind for my prince?" Lucas asked, and Elliana sighed before nodding.

"When you have to learn to protect your dignity and fight the people who call themselves your family, you have to learn a few things to protect yourself," Elliana whispered before she walked back to the mirror.

"I learned sword fighting just for fun. At that time I had no idea I would be using it like that. This isn’t the first time I did it. I have used it in the past too, to protect myself," Elliana smiled before turning to him.

"I had every reason and every opportunity to hide my capabilities. I also love it when I am pampered, who wouldn’t? But even after all that, I did everything in my power to reach the forest and save your prince, my husband," she paused to take a deep breath.

"I risked my life and the care I was receiving for your safety. I know that he will throw me out if he finds out I am not what he thinks I am, still, I risked it all. Why do you think I did it?" Elliana asked, looking at Lucas straight in his eyes.

"Because I am falling your prince. There’s nothing more important than his safety for me. You are his closest subordinate and friend, and naturally, I would’ve done anything to save you too.

It’s because he is mine at the moment for me. I don’t know what will happen in the future, but if I have to pick swords to protect what’s mine, I’ll do it a hundred times without caring for the protection of my loved ones," Elliana sat on her ankles and looked at him.

"I think you are exaggerating a bit," Lucas gulped, feeling a bit scared, looking at the raw strength in her eyes, and Elliana smiled softly, her expression going back to her goofy innocent one.

"Maybe, I am," she giggled, and Lucas smiled helplessly.

Now that he had seen this side of her, she was kind of dangerous.
