The Princess's Dangerous Vampire Mate-Chapter 291: The prince - I

Sir Walter was back already?

"Excuse me," I got up from the bed and passed a smile to Mrs Walter, " would you mind if I?"

"No, no," The tiredness returned to her face, " I think I’m going to rest some more before lunch."

Eyeing her tired face all of a sudden, I nodded shortly before walking out of the room.

When I entered the living room, I saw no one. No sir Walter, No sawyer..

"You,"

I jumped and flinched back when I heard him behind me. "What?" I whispered to his angry face. What was the matter with him? Why was he staring at me with so much anger?

Cian Took another step towards me and I took one back, keeping the distance in between us. "What do you think you were doing? Why the fuck were you about to tell her about them vampires?!"

"Why?" What kind of argument was that? "Does she not know about them? Everyone knew of the takeover."

The entire night it happened, it had been filled with screams and terrors and it would be impossible for someone to not hear them especially when they were living inside the palace or in the capital.

"That is not of your business," Cian spat, " unless my father is available to supervise your conversation with my mother, you stay away from her."

"What?" I scoffed, "What is super vision? I will talk to Sir Walter about this. You cannot stop Me from talking to her."

"Watch me," he stood in front of me. "I am going to be the one who is going to keep a watch over you, princess. And trust me you don’t want to cross me."

I would have backed away. I would have definitely taken a step back and ran into my room, never to look behind again but that Genevive had left The night she had to betray the man she loved.

With a thin smile, I stepped closer to him. "I am the one who led a rebellion against the vampire king. I am the one who drugged all of them into an unconscious state, enough for everyone to leave the palace, even the capital. You do not want to cross me."

No longer waiting to read the look on his face, I stepped back before turning around and walking to my room. This man was of no importance and I was not going to give him any. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The prince had still not woken up and I had made it a point to check on him every other hour.

Sir Walter came back with his son after three hours with all the herbs and medicines provided by the physician. They had also been told how to provide them to the prince and how to change his bandages.

Currently, it was late in the evening and the sun was about to set. I was standing outside, overlooking the road, the small patchy pathway to the cottage from the main road leading outside the capital.

I had no idea what I was thinking about. Nothing in particular, or maybe it was something in particular but I did not want to acknowledge it.

"Princess?" Dorothy appeared by my side and stared at where I was looking. "Are we waiting for someone?"

"No, I was just looking." I answered, not looking at her.

"Ah," she nodded, "are you feeling guilty about what you did?"

I frowned, "what?"

Dorothy smiled when she glanced at me, " you must think of me A fool if you thought I would not notice. As much as you were scared of the vampire king, you were delighted to be near him as well. If I may, I always suspected that you shared the same feelings he did for you."

Startled, I turned to her quickly, "what?"

She nodded with an expression of longing. " As much as you were scared when he came to visit, you were looking at him with the same eyes filled with love as he looked at you. If I took that fear away, you just looked at him with love."

I found no words to reply to her with, making Dorothy Take a chance to continue.

"I wish to ask you something," she gulped, "how did you know you love him? Why do you love him?"

I chuckled mindlessly, gracing upon the memory in my mind. When did I fall in love with him? " I have no clue how I fell in love with him, nor do I remember the date I did but I do remember when I realised it."

Smiling, I passed her a glance, " It was the day I realised I would have to leave him for my country to marry another man that I had never known. It felt so heavy in my heart, it felt so heavy, knowing that he would never know me, as who I was, as what I was and we would be miles apart from each other. Always."

"Now, you ask me, why do I love him? I love him because he was not just... He was different. He took care of the people he travelled with, he took care of his family, he always managed To keep an eye out and not only that but he led them in a way that I had seen no king do."

I sighed, "I honestly do not know, Dorothy. I just felt so attracted to him the first time I ever saw him, he felt like it would be inevitable to not love him."

"Then why did you do what you did?"

"Because his people were hurting mind. If something was being done, I would have never done what I did. But I do not even think that he was aware of it which is why I had to step in and give them all one chance to leave the palace."

"Did it hurt you?" She asked in a low whisper, after sometime.

"Yes," I whispered back, "it takes my sleep away at night." It takes my whole being away from me whenever I think about it. I feel my soul leaving my body, the will to live leaving my mind and the sight of the future leaving my mind where I could have finally received some love from my partner.

Perhaps some things were not in fate.
