Chapter 553: Her speculations

"How was your training session?" Sebastian immediately walked to Elliana as soon as he saw her coming towards the head base, making the girl smile.

"It was alright," Elliana said, and the man nodded before holding her hand.

"Ready to go home? You won’t say no anymore, right? Let’s go back to our home," Sebastian whispered, ready to play the ’sad’ card, but Elliana looked at him and smiled, obviously knowing his tactics to make her return to the black skull palace.

"Okay. Let’s go," Elliana whispered.

Sebastian bent and picked her in his arms, making the girl chuckle softly.

"Seriously, Mr. Marino, I can walk. I have only trained for some time," Elliana mused, making the man nod.

"I know, but who cares? I get to keep my wife close to me and -"

"Well, technically, I am not your wife. I signed the divorce agreement, remember?" Elliana said, and Sebastian paused in his steps.

"And? I don’t see why that makes a difference. The marriage was between the human’s daughter Elliana Heart and Prince Sebastian. That’s not who we are anymore, are we? You are my princess and I am your king," Sebastian said.

Elliana rolled her eyes.

"You know that’s not how things work, Mr. Marino -"

"The mark on your neck dictates who you are to me, baby," Sebastian pulled her close, kissing her chin.

"Stop it," Elliana blushed, remembering that they were still surrounded by everyone and Sebastian chuckled.

"Why should I? It’s not like I have all the time in the world. You will go to your training sessions and I have to leave for my meetings. Let me enjoy this time, will you? In fact, while we are at it, I have a much better way to spend our time," Sebastian rubbed his nose with hers.

Elliana blushed scarlet red.

"Mr. Marino! What are you talking about? Don’t you have any shame? My mother is here," Elliana hid her face in his chest, her heartbeat picking its pace

Sebastian scowled.

"I was talking about watching something on the television with you in my arms. Did you think about something else, baby?" Sebastian pinched her chin, forcing her to look into his eyes, her slightly moist eyes, making him want to devour her right then and there.

"I... What would I think about? I was just saying that how can you talk about spending time with me like that when my mom is here? Yeah.." Elliana nodded.

Sebastian smiled.

"Is that so?" He pulled her closer.

"And here I thought I could let your sweet divine p*ssy suck on my beast that is craving you already," Sebastian whispered softly so only she could hear.

Elliana’s cheeks turn red immediately, her body feeling hot.

"Mr. Marino! You are seriously a bad man," Elliana jumped from his arms.

"I am your bad man," Sebastian smirked before suppressing his smile.

"Hey, okay fine. I won’t joke anymore. Come back, Cara," Sebastian said as he noticed her placing her hands on her cheeks, probably to calm her blushing cheeks.

"King Sebastian, wait a minute," Nathaniel entered the base, and Sebastian sighed before walking to him.

"Are you sure taking Elliana to Black Skull Palace is our best choice? When we know that you are the only one who can protect Elliana from all the witches, what about when you won’t be there?" Nathaniel asked.

Queen Azura walked to them, wanting to be a part of this important discussion that concerned her daughter.

Sebastian looked at his wife who was talking to his sister and sighed.

"While I used to be sure that no witch would enter the Black Skull Palace because it belonged to me, I was obviously wrong since you guys used to visit a lot. How about we -" Sebastian stopped talking when he saw Duke Marcello rushing inside the base.

"Glow! Glow?" Marcello rushed to his fiancee, looking at the girl with moist eyes.

"Is this true? Is what I am hearing true? What did that message mean? Elliana is dying?" Marcello asked his fiancee, without caring that Elliana was standing right there in front of him, and Glow averted her gaze to their leader before looking down.

She was so emotional at that moment and didn’t know who to talk to that she ended up talking to Marcello about it through the chats. However, she forgot that their leader probably didn’t want this information to spread.

"I... I am sorry," Glow signed to Elliana, and seeing Glow wasn’t talking to him, Marcello turned to Elliana.

"Elliana, tell me this isn’t true. You are not leaving. You can’t die like this," Marcello shook his head.

Elliana sighed.

"Duke Marcello, we know that you are worried about our leader -" Sasha started but stopped when she heard the Duke’s next words.

"No. How can this happen? I haven’t even become the richest in the black market. Who will create those expensive scent-hiding sprays and poisons for me? You said you even wanted to create a vampire-killing poison, no? How can you die before giving me that? Do you even know how much its market value has raised," Marcello held Elliana’s hand, his eyes moist.

Elliana - "..." Seriously? Is that what he is worried about?

The girls and Glow- "..." Can he really be any less stupid?

The witches and Misha - "..." Does he not sense his surroundings?

Elliana bit her lips, looking at the Duke helplessly.

"Have you lost it?" She whisper asked him, and the man shook his head.

"I don’t know. You just can’t die like this. I don’t allow it. You have to work on so many things. Especially those scent hiding -" Marcello paused when he felt an overpowering aura as Sebastian appeared right in front of him.

Marcello froze in his place.

He looked at Sebastian as if he had seen a ghost, and he cleared his throat.

"King Sebastian, I didn’t know you were here," Marcello bowed to Sebastian, who scoffed in return.

"I can see that. That you didn’t know I was here," Sebastian said.

Marcello chuckled before stepping closer to Elliana.

"Why didn’t you tell me your husband was here? Did you want him to behead me or something? How can you be so cruel?" Marcello whispered, and Elliana rolled her eyes.

"As if you gave me any chance to explain anything," Elliana said, making Marcello smile awkwardly.

"Prince Sebastian, I hope you don’t take my words to heart. As you can see, we were just joking," Marcello said, and Sebastian looked at him briefly before looking at his wife.

"Are you ready to go, Princess?" He asked and Elliana smiled.

Sebastian was about to bend and pick his wife again when Marcello said, "By the way, King Sebastian, please don’t mind my words, but have you found the prince who was involved with this rogue attack? The news has spread all over the Dukes and multiple speculations are already being made."

Marcello’s words made Elliana look at her husband, who clenched his jaws before humming.

"We are getting to the route of it," Sebastian said, making Elliana press her lips into a thin line.

She didn’t know if the information she had, or she found when analyzing the luminous soil where the beach incident happened, was as relevant or worth relying on. However, the thing she saw in the soil, only pointed things towards one person she least expected to be involved in this betrayal scenario.

The prince that she thought she met and befriended for the first time.

Prince Vincenzo.
