The Princess's Dangerous Vampire Mate-Chapter 73: The cloaked man - II
It was not astonishing to me at all that the man before is in completing the task that was given to him was already talking about this e favor that I would have to return."Why don’t you focus on what you have to do?" I hissed as talking loudly while walking in a dim-lit narrow hallway did not seem right. "I will return the favor only if this task is completed by you without any repercussions."
"It will." That was all he said.
It seemed that Conrad did know where the secret passage out of the dungeons was. It seemed like no one had been here in ages which only meant that the royal family knew about this.
Austin it was that Marilyn and I walked into a small cobweb which only made it certain that no one had arrived here in ages.
"How did you know this?" I cannot help but ask the question because they seem to intimate knowledge and that only made me question how was it in the hands of a man who appeared to be suspicious.
He sighed loudly. "The man in the dungeons is already been taken care of." He said instead making Merylin halt sightly.
"Wh-what?" She whispered. She was not feeling well after knowing that a man was advancing to her with nothing but Dak and malicious intentions in his mind and then I had hit his head with the silver pot which only made him bleed and fell unconscious.
So one could say that it was not helping her in the slightest.
"Well?" I hurried, "What do you mean by that?"
He did not answer.
My eyes which were watching the back of Conrad’s head now moved below and to Tristan’s face. His body was swinging back and forth even Conrad was working very slowly. We could hear the slight pitter-patter which meant that his balloons were still bleeding and those men have paid him visits.
The Prince wanted to blow off some heat? Was it because of what I did today? With but why would he target Tristan because of what I did?
He hit Tristan, I closed my eyes briefly for a moment. I could not even begin to Phantom the number of times Tristan had been beaten by this man. And for what? For me.
Someone that he was not aware of in the slightest, someone who had been lying to him since day one and will continue to do so because I was to protect my own identity.
Even though in the short period I had managed to develop feelings for a man who had empowered me and made me more confident than my father had, I still could not manage to gather the courage to tell him the truth about my identity.
I was a princess belonging to a royal household, Melenmore. He was a merchant. It was a match made nowhere and a match that no one would ever accept.
"How much longer?" I asked the man as walking in a dimly lit hallway along with various spiders only made me think of depressing thought which would take me nowhere.
"Almost there." He answers almost immediately. "Do you want me to take him out to the infirmary as well? Or perhaps should directly go to the cabin on the woods as discussed?"
This time Marilyn halted completely and turned to me immediately. We both mirrored the expression of shock on their faces as Conrad continued to walk forward. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
No one was supposed to know that unless they were the family of Tristan who was helping. No one else was made aware of it and I have specifically asked his family to make sure that they did not tell anyone about it because within hours of Tristan’s escape he would be declared as someone wanted.
Conrad was not belonging to da instant family and I did not know him to tell him what exactly were we doing. The question was how did he know?
"What?" She mouthed to me and shook her head. Earlier it seemed like he had been a little gift from the lord some sort of help but now he seemed to be the worker of the devil.
"Conrad." My eyes looked past Merylin’s head and Conrad turned around as I called him. "How do you know that? No one else apart from Merilyn and me and his family members is supposed to know it." I glanced at Tristan, he had Tristan on his arm. "How did you know this?"
He looked at me with a broad expression. Earlier he had a slight emotion of amusement dancing in his eyes and now that was completely gone.
Tristan grunted making me gasp and step towards him. Konrad’s eyes glazed over for a second.
"I cannot tell you that." He said again, once again with no expressions on his face. As if, he could just say it. "I am a servant, your highness. I do not have the pleasure of talking speaking my mind, however, when the time comes, you will know everything that you need to till then I will do what you want me to."
Usually, I knew what to say. The scholars and governess who had taught me conversations and given me knowledge about various subjects had made show the royal always knew what to say. For the first time in my life, I was spellbound because I did not know how to proceed with the men and front of me. He was mysterious and for all, I knew he could be the reason Tristan could die along with the both of us.
"We should leave." He said grimly, "the Prince is expecting them and I have to get you back to your room before he sends out a search party for both Tristan and you."
That should have worked as the perfect date to get me moving and make sure Tristan was going to reach a safe place but this time I was not sure about the man’s identity which is why I did not move.
"No one is moving until unless you tell me how do you know all of this?" I stood my ground and stared him back in the eye.
