Chapter 509: Can he help?

"What are you doing?" Dexter walked to Elliana when he saw her sitting on the terrace with her legs dangling down.

"Just trying to sort out a few thoughts in my head. What about you? What are you doing here?" Elliana asked as she drank the herbal juice that her mother gave to her.

She didn’t want to believe that woman but Nathaniel nodded at her and asked her to go ahead with it. According to them, the juice was supposed to keep her powers in control and keep her sanity with her increasing powers.

Her eight locks were undone and only two were remaining. These two would have the hardest impact on her and her character development might take a drastic blow.

They even warned her that her soul might become darker than anyone in her history because she was sharing her witch powers with the Siren queen’s powers.

Elliana didn’t understand half of what they were saying, which was why she asked them to pour all the information one by one so she could process everything slowly and easily.

For now, she only knew that she was strong because she was the daughter of two strong dark witches and shared the hellfire of her father that wasn’t shared with Nathaniel. They believed that the reason behind it was because she was developed to share great powers.

Everything was a mess in her head.

Elliana sighed before looking at the sky.

"I wonder what kind of destiny I share and what else the moon goddess has in mind for me," Elliana whispered, and Dexter, who was standing beside her, deep in his thoughts, looked at her.

"Whatever it is, just think positively. You need to keep a positive mindset towards life to overcome the strongest battles and betrayals," Dexter murmured.

Elliana turned to him.

"How is life for you? I haven’t been able to ask you since I was immersed in my own drama. Is everything okay at your home?" Elliana asked.

Dexter looked down from the railing and sighed.

"It’s bearable. My dad wants me to go abroad to further my studies in finance because according to him it only makes sense that I become the finance minister after him," Dexter said.

Elliana could see that her friend didn’t want to go, and she placed her hand on his hand on the railings.

Dexter looked at her hand with a soft smile on his face.

"Elliana, my friend, as much as I love to get comfort from you, I like my head intact too.

Earlier, I didn’t know, but now that I know who you belong to, I won’t make the mistake of crossing my line or touching you even as a friend. I don’t want to mess with the devil himself," Dexter said.

Elliana didn’t comment on that and smiled.

"Are you that afraid of him?" Elliana asked, and Dexter chuckled.

"Princess, you have no idea what your husband is capable of, do you? Just because he shows you his soft side only doesn’t change his reputation as the monster of the vampire world. There is a reason his own family is scared of him when he gets angry. There is a beast and that beast is not to be truffled with. You just got lucky that the beast fell for you, and judging from what I observed, he is not just in love with you, his beast worships you," Dexter said.

Elliana’s heart skipped a beat, and she cleared her throat.

She didn’t want to be affected by his words, but for some reason, the way Dexter said that Mr. Marino’s beast worshiped her, she felt goosebumps on her neck, and something flipped in her stomach.

"Look at that Principal who doesn’t bow down to anyone, looking down at his feet in front of your husband. You tell me, you might have visited the royal Kingdom, have you ever heard anyone raising their voice on your husband?" Dexter asked, and Elliana’s mind went back to all the interactions they had.

Now that she thought about it, even their grandfather Abramo never raised his voice to scold her husband. Even when he was displeased with something, he would just say the things as a statement.

She never saw anyone raising their voice on her husband.

And the fact alone for some reason, made her nervous. When she was at the royal party, she raised her voice at him not once but many times. In fact, she was so angry that she held his collar too.

"Do you think I got lucky that my head is still intact?" Elliana murmured.

Dexter looked at the girl, remembering what kind of stunts she pulled on the royal ceremony.

"You can say that," Dexter said.

"And for some reason, you think I wouldn’t have been able to fight this devil?" Elliana asked, her powers immediately taking over for some reason as she looked at Dexter with her eyes turning a shade of violet and golden emeralds, making Dexter freeze in his place.

He looked at the girl who tilted her head, her lips stretching into a smirk as she looked at him, and Dexter gulped before looking down.

"I never said that, Princess," Dexter murmured and turned back to look at the Prince.

He knew he needed to stay calm. He could feel that Elliana’s powers were taking control to establish their dominance.

"You might be equally strong as the King, and maybe that’s why he wants you back. You will make an amazing queen," Dexter said, and Elliana who was struggling with her powers immediately took over, breathing heavily.

"I swear these powers will be the death of me," Elliana hissed angrily before she looked down again at her ex-husband who was talking to the principal about something.

As if on instinct, he looked up, their eyes meeting, and a smile stretched on his lips.

Now that she thinks about it, why was he wearing a half-mask? Shouldn’t he be wearing a full mask to cover his face like he always does whenever he is out?

Elliana’s brows scrunched when she saw him vanishing and turned around, a gasp leaving her mouth when she saw King Marino standing right in front of her.

"Having fun, Princess?" Sebastian asked, looking at Dexter who immediately bowed to him and was about to walk away when Elliana held his hand, making Dexter freeze in his place for the second time.

Dexter looked at Elliana, gulping a bit.

’What are you doing, girl? Why are you only doing things to get me into a jiffy with your jealous husband? First it was your powers and now your devil husband,’ Dexter wanted to say, but he just smiled awkwardly.

He could see King Marino’s gaze pausing on Princess’s hand that was holding Dexter’s.

"Dexter here believes that I am lucky that I have my head intact because you are a devil who kills people mercilessly," Elliana said, and Sebastian gazed at Dexter.

Dexter - (O⁠_⁠o) Why was she hellbent on getting him beaten black and blue? Was she taking revenge for something?

"Is that so? And do you believe that?" Sebastian asked, knowing she was just playing. He knew his princess’s character a bit too much.

"I do," Elliana said before she let go of Dexter who bowed and dashed out of the area as if his pants were on fire, and Sebastian walked to her until his chest was almost touching her back.

"What are you doing here?" Sebastian asked, his tone serious.

"Thinking about my dad. He is captured in some kind of magical realm. I marked the magical realm with my blood and tears, but I didn’t know how to bring him out of there. I... I wanted to tell my mother about it, but she was the same woman who was ready to kill me to bring her dead husband back to life when she didn’t know I was her daughter. So... I am afraid that she will lose it and start something that we won’t be able to take care of," Elliana whispered, not hiding her insecurities this time.

Sebastian hummed, wrapping his hand around her torso before pulling her back, wanting to feel her body against his.

"Do you want my help?" Sebastian asked.

"What can you do with this witchy stuff?" Elliana sighed.

"I can do more than you think. But for that, you will have to come back to the Black Skull Palace and live with me," Sebastian whispered, jumping on the opportunity.

"You are an opportunist," Elliana murmured, leaning herself in his embrace, feeling protected and safe.

"I can become anything for you. Besides, I have to play my cards right when I have the next dark witch queen in line to coax," Sebastian said softly before placing his lips on her neck.

"Can I drink a little of your blood?" He asked, wanting to mark her.

Elliana, who was unaware of his thoughts, thought that he was probably hungry again and nodded slightly.

Sebastian smirked when his beast howled in joy.

’Finally!’ His beast groaned in appreciation, already excited about the marking.
