The Masked Vampire King's Accidental Bride
Chapter 388: Glory

Chapter 388: Glory

"Good morning, Princess," Sebastian greeted her as soon as she opened her eyes, and her cheeks flushed red when she saw him sitting on the couch in the room leisurely and reading a newspaper.

"Good morning, Mr. Marino," she whispered, suppressing the urge to groan as she felt like her body was run down by a truck or something.

Last night, even when Mr. Marino said he wouldn’t take it hard on her since it was their first time, he still had gone for three rounds, and those three rounds were more hectic and tiring than hours of training.

She also realized what Mr. Marino meant when he said her stamina was low. She came more than 10 times when he came only three times, and it wasn’t something she was proud of despite how great it felt.

By the time he said he didn’t want to burden her on their first time, she barely had her eyes open.

Mr. Marino even told her that she had passed out for a minute in their second round too and it was more than embarrassing.

"Wash up quickly so that I can take you for breakfast," Sebastian’s words caught Elliana’s attention and brought her out of her thoughts.

"You will take me?" Elliana asked, confused.

Were they going somewhere out? She thought. However, her question was soon answered when he folded his newspaper and looked into her eyes.

"I am not sure if you will be able to walk to the dining hall. That’s why I have been waiting for you," Sebastian said with a smirk playing on his lips, and she immediately blushed at the hidden meaning behind his words.

"I... I can do so," Elliana threw the blanket away, blushing at the white shirt that she was wearing which obviously belonged to Mr. Marino.

She placed her foot on the carpet and stood, taking a sharp breath as she felt aching all over, almost falling backward.

However, she was determined to prove him wrong and took a few steps.

"See, I can move just fine on my own," Elliana said proudly.

"Hmm, does that mean I didn’t do my work of ravaging you properly?" Sebastian leaned back in his seat, and Elliana who was barely keeping hold of herself lost her balance in shock.

She was about to fall when Sebastian used his vampire speed and held her in his arms, sitting on the edge of the bed with her on his lap.

He gazed into her eyes, his bright hazel eyes, making her breathing uneven as moments of his close they were last night started appearing in her mind and she blushed, looking away.

She weighed in his arms, trying to get comfortable as her thighs hurt and Sebastian hissed in her ears, freezing her in her place.

"Don’t tempt me with your ass if you are not up for round one, Princess," Sebastian whispered in her ears, inhaling her scent/as he rubbed his nose up and down her neck.

"R-round one? But we already did three last night," Elliana stuttered at her Prince’s shamelessness.

"Were you counting, Princess? Besides, isn’t this a new day? Don’t scores settle back to zero automatically?" He smiled against her skin, loving her skin that was turning hot.

Elliana tilted her neck subconsciously, giving him easier access to her neck and he wrapped his hands around her breasts, immediately snapping her out of her trance.

"I am hungry," Elliana whispered to distract him, and Sebastian hummed before kissing her temple.

"I am hungry too. Unfortunately, our hunger is different. Let me help you inside now. I don’t want you hurting your back from falling. I will take that privilege now," Sebastian kissed her lips before he picked her up and took her to the bathroom.

He didn’t try anything with her and kept his back to her until she washed up. He wasn’t sure if he would be able to keep himself from tasting her again if he saw her.

Once she was done, he took her downstairs to the dining room, nodding at Miss Zoya who immediately placed the turmeric ginger milk in front of their Princess.

"It has ginger too. You love ginger and cardamom-flavored milk, don’t you?" Sebastian asked before taking a bite of his food and Elliana looked at him before smiling.

"Thank you," she stood from her place and kissed his cheeks before sitting back in her seat, freezing Sebastian in his place.

Even though they were sitting side by side and she could’ve just learned to kiss his cheeks, the way she stood and kissed was so cute that he felt his heart skipping a beat, and a small genuine smile appeared on his lips, making Miss Zoya and the chef smile too.

"Please enjoy your breakfast," Miss Zoya nodded at the chef, and they left the duo alone.

Sebastian turned his gaze to the princess who was eating in silence.

Once he was done eating, he waited for her to finish her food.

"Are you done?" He asked, and when she nodded, he turned her chair so that she was facing him.

"Now that you are sober too and properly fed too, shall we start our questioning?" He asked, and Elliana looked at him confused.

"Questioning?" She asked, and Sebastian hummed.

"For starters, why were you wearing that scent-hiding perfume yesterday," he asked, making her pause in her place.

"Scent hiding?"

"Uhuh, there is no use lying. So why don’t you just come clean this time, Princess? I know that you know quite a few people that we have no idea about, people like rogues of the werewolf world, that Glory girl, some women who are obsessed with you, and probably Duke Marcello too.

So why don’t you come clean now? Don’t you think after what we shared last night, we have established that kind of relationship where we can trust each other?" Sebastian asked, and Elliana nodded.

"You are right. We should start trusting each other," Elliana whispered before she took a deep breath.

Maybe it was the right time to share her story with him, the opportunity she was looking for.

"It was two years ago when it happened. I was running away from a party because of what Madeline did. At that time I didn’t know what to do to get over my sadness. Madeline had thrown me in front of some boys who had tried to take advantage of me.

I kept running away that day until I reached the highway where I met a woman on the bike. She took me to the hill and showed me how to ride a bike. That was the first time I rode a bike," Elliana took a deep breath.

Sebastian was confused. None of the questions he asked her should have gotten that kind of answer. However, he didn’t interrupt her.

Something was always better than nothing, right?

"She also gave me an outfit that covered me from head to toe in black. I felt it was cool. For an entire year, I kept my identity hidden behind that black outfit before I was thrown into the Malevolent Prison for something I didn’t do. That race track became my haven to run away from all the miseries and ease the pain in my heart. That was also where I met the vampire finance minister’s son, Dexter. He has known me for two years," Elliana said, looking into Mr. Marino’s eyes.

She could see he had questions, more questions than she was ready to answer at the moment.

Elliana took a deep breath, ready to reveal what she was trying to say.

"I am talking about the woman you thought I let touch me. I am talking about Glory," Elliana whispered, looking down at her feet before she raised her gaze at him.

"It’s me. I am Glory, Mr. Marino," Elliana said, looking back into his eyes.

Sebastian had expected all kinds of answers from her, but this definitely took him by surprise.

She was Glory? That woman in Black was her? She was the one who was performing those stunts? Was that the reason she was using a scent-hiding perfume? Because she didn’t want anyone to know about her?

Sebastian was about to ask her why she did not tell him about this when he remembered something...

’There’s this girl called Glory. What’s wrong with me wanting to find her? She has been the only one who understood me so far. So why can’t I look for her?’ He remembered his brother Vincenzo accidentally slipping these words when he was drunk a few months ago.

Prince Stephano had asked him what kind of mission the A-grade team was sent to that no one knew about.

Prince Stephano had found out that Vincenzo had been lying to him about sending A grade team on a special team when he had actually sent them on the mission of finding a mere girl named Glory.

At that time, everyone thought Vincenzo fell in love with a girl and -

"Did Brother Vincenzo know who you are?" Sebastian asked, and Elliana looked down at her feet.

She knew he wouldn’t like her answer. He wouldn’t like the fact that someone else knew about her complete truth and he didn’t.
