"Stop it, Princess. Don’t provoke what you won’t be able to take,"

"Where are you rubbing?" Sebastian opened his eyes with a snarl, but seeing Elliana still deep in her slumber of sleep, he gritted out his teeth.

Look at her sleeping so peacefully after waking the demon inside him.

She really has a knack of provoking him.

He cupped her jaws roughly, forcing a kiss on her lips to relieve his anger.

However, when she only moaned a little and brought her legs up to snuggle closer to him, he sighed and got off the bed.

’Stupid Princess! Sleeping like a dead log,’ he squared his jaws before leaving the room to have the meeting he had been planning.

He was unsure of what he would end up doing if he stayed with her any longer.

"Sir, would you like to eat -"

"Don’t tell the princess I am back home. Goodness, how can a woman sleep like that," Sebastian walked away, his strides long and frustrated with a stiff back.

Miss Zoya narrowed her brows before she peeked inside the room where the princess was sleeping like a cocoon before she flailed her legs and opened her limbs like a star, making the caretaker snigger before she shook her head.

This girl really knows how to frustrate their prince with helplessness.

’Think I just remembered something.

Do you remember all those scars I gave you?

Let me haunt you and get under your skin.

Your powers you call yours, are they yours?

Train yourself, little girl, because when I come for you, you will succumb to nothingness,’

Elliana heard a soft song playing in her head, and she turned her head, her forehead forming beads of sweat.

Meanwhile, Sebastian, who was walking towards his office, stopped suddenly.

This song... he looked around, walking to the nearest balcony to see around.

"Guards! Look around if we have a witch or siren here -" Sebastian paused mid-order.

He placed his hand on his head, grabbing his hair frustratingly as it ached.

This song... wasn’t coming from anywhere outside. He was listening to it in his head for some strange reason.

Sebastian shook his head when the song suddenly stopped.

Might just be his delusion. He sighed before walking to the office.

"Is everything ready, Lucas?" Sebastian asked, and Lucas nodded as he sat in the video conference with the royal brothers.

"Here is the information of all the illegal dealings happening in the nation. We have been able to find and spot around 37 people so far who deal with ammunition.

The bad news is that the probability of someone else continuing to create the rogue vampire is becoming prominent and increasing," Lucas changed the slide as Garry stood from his place to explain.

"The remains of vampire’s flesh and blood washed up by the current flow of the Gracia river in the regions of the Blackboard area. These are some of the images we have obtained so far, and our spies are now working with the vampires of that region to gather more information regarding the matter," Garry changed the slide that showed the maps of the nation.

"These are the places where we have found the traces of something questionable happening. We are still trying our best to gather as many details as possible," Garry said, and Stephano looked at all the map points.

He has asked his spies to rectify the information and double-check everything that Sebastian told them about the smuggling of the illegal weapons so their information was correct before being presented to the king. At the end of the day, they were for the betterment of the nation together.

To say he was surprised would be an understatement. This was bigger than they could imagine and went beyond just the throne elections.

"It looks like my baby brother is working really hard," Stephano commented, and Sebastian rolled his eyes before looking at Abramo for further instructions.

Meanwhile, in the hall, Elliana looked at everyone angrily.

"Don’t you dare lie to me. Do you think I have lost my mind? I am asking who the hell dared to enter my room when I was sleeping?! Who dared to touch me?! Since the prince isn’t here, I know it wasn’t him," Elliana roared in pure rage.

Miss Zoya looked at the chef and shook her head to tell him not to say anything about the prince being here, and the chef sighed, pitying the girl who looked like she would lose her mind any second.

"Princess, please calm down. Who would dare to enter your room?" Miss Zoya asked, trying to cover up anyhow, and Elliana huffed loudly.

"Well, that bastard, whoever he was not only entered my room but kissed me in my sleep too. Look at my swollen lips, and this is definitely not a big bite. I even remembered touching someone’s chest. Bare chest!" Elliana hissed like a viper, and Miss Zoya suppressed the urge to groan.

How could the prince ask them to not reveal anything when he did things like this? Now what were they supposed to tell the princess? That it was her delusion when she was spitting facts?

"Princess, let’s calm down and -"

"Miss Zoya, I respect you a lot, but don’t act like I am some kid who is throwing a tantrum here. I want all the men who have access to the third floor lining in front of me in the next five minutes, and I will myself see who was that bastard who dared to touch me," Elliana was in no mood to joke.

Miss Zoya didn’t have any choice but to comply with the Princess’s wishes.

In no time, around 15 men were lined up in front of her, all of them scared for their lives.

"Get me the blindfold," Elliana said.

"Since I was sleeping at that time, I will check them with my eyes closed," Elliana explained when no one moved, and Miss Zoya looked at Harry who descended the stairs with an unsure gaze.

She tied the blindfold on Elliana’s eyes, making the Princess sigh.

"Now take off your shirts until your chest is bare," Elliana whispered, and everyone looked at her shocked.

"I am beginning. The first person, step ahead," Elliana said before she extended her shivering hand, the hard muscles underneath the tips of her fingers, making her heart skip a beat.

Mr. Marino?

She cleared her throat.

What the hell was she doing? Thinking about Mr. Marino while touching another man’s chest.

"I..."

"Second one, come forward," Elliana whispered, her fingertips touching the hard abs this time, and her lips quivered again before she took a shaky breath.

"Mr. Marino really trained his men to have a body just like him," Elliana muttered under her breath, but it was audible to all the vampires.

"Next," Elliana growled, and she heard some shuffling.

She extended her hand again, but this time, her hand landed on the right side of the chest, and feeling the touch of the hard n*pples of a man, she quickly jerked her hand away as if electrocuted.

Everyone was shocked by what was happening in front of them.

But what shocked them, even more, was the smug expression of their prince as he stood in front of her, letting her touch his body every time she would called out for next.

He had deliberately suppressed his aura so she wouldn’t sense him, and since she wasn’t too close to him, keeping a respectful distance, she couldn’t smell him either.

Sebastian saw his princess acting so innocent when her mind was screaming at her it was just like Mr. Marino every time she touched his chest, and suppressed the smile that was itching on his face.

He could read her thoughts very well, and it amused him how she was trying so hard to concentrate and coming up with nothing other than the image of his chest and body in her mind.

It looks like the distance served her pretty well.

"N-next -" Elliana whispered but rather than moving away, Sebastian grabbed her hand, and placed it in the middle of his chest, making her wince in utter shock.

"I guess, touching the chest isn’t working. How about you try kissing now? Maybe a pair of lips would appear familiar," he whispered.

"Who is this jerk? Leave my hand! How dare -" Elliana pulled down her blindfold, her gaze meeting with the amused eyes of Mr. Marino.

Her heart skipped a beat. She couldn’t tear away her gaze from the familiar eyes.

Sebastian quirked his brows at her. He had thought she would scream at him for playing with her emotions or playing such a naughty joke on her, but rather than that, she kept looking into his eyes, unmoving.

"Everyone, leave," Elliana said, not moving her gaze from her Mr. Marino.

Sebastian quirked his brows at her. This was the first time, she was giving such a bold order to everyone in the palace. It has always been him.

Miss Zoya and others didn’t waste a single second in vacating the hall.

Elliana stepped closer to Sebastian, her gaze raking all over his body before she encircled him as if observing an artifact, and though they had made out quite a few times earlier, even without clothes, Sebastian truly felt exposed under her gaze today as she inspected him.

"You are fine," Elliana sighed before she finally stepped close to him and placed her forehead on his chest.

Sebastian’s heart clenched painfully at the love and concern in her voice and he wrapped his hands around her.

"I am fine, my princess," Sebastian whispered.

He pulled her back and bent his head to go for a proper welcome kiss, but what he hadn’t expected was for her to raise her hand and slap him on the face, cracking his mask and whipping his face to the side.
