Lady Dhampir
Chapter 63

The young Duchess was furious. The Prince Rayan knew, no matter how, that evil snake knew his brother would be coming here, and had snu "You get out now!" She hissed, the most quietly she could.

Rayan was obviously hardly repressing his laugh, but there was nothing funny about this. She couldn't be seen alone in a room with a man, l bedroom with Rayan. Moreover, the vampire Prince crossed his arms, his red eyes full of malice, showing absolutely no intention to leave. "Lady Milena? Is everything alright?" Asked Ellias from behind the door.

"Just a minute, your Highness!"

Milena kept gesturing furiously at Rayan, but it was obvious he was not going to comply with her. She took a deep breath, while still glaring a healing anyway, but she was scared she would miss a drop of blood that would betray her in front of Prince Ellias... She arranged her hair a b slightly open the door.

Behind it, Ellias was standing, perfectly elegant in his white military uniform. Milena smiled to him, gathering her best acting skills. "Sorry, Your Highness, I was just about to change... I didn't expect to see you here!"

She was almost sweating at the thought that Rayan was right there, behind the door, only a couple of feet away. If the vampire prince wantec Milena was praying that he wouldn't have the guts, and was merely toying with her nerves, or that he at least had any kind of respect for her, rumors, she would never forgive him. In front of her, Ellias chuckled, seemingly unaware of her frustration.

Or ten times busier! "Of course!" She replied with a wide smile. "Shall we replace somewhere comfortable to sit down?"

Milena very purposely slammed the door of her bedroom behind her, surprising Ellias a bit. She hoped the message was clear for Rayan. She The human Prince didn't seem to have any idea about the scene he had almost walked on. However, as they walked away, Milena had a hard were the vampire prince had bitten her. Milena was terrified at the thought that she might betray her emotions and be discovered... "How have you been? I hope my mother is not too harsh on you and the other candidates... I know she can be a bit strict and cold at times, b Milena chuckled politely, acting as composed as she could.

"Of course not. Actually, I think her Highness has been treating us well. I'm glad I get to meet new Ladies, too, some of them are so passionat "That is good to hear! I know my Dear Friend has quite a personality, I was afraid you might get yourself in trouble soon," he said with a little Milena blushed a bit, even more flustered. Sometimes, Ellias was a bit to perceptive about her!

The Prince guided her to a salon, as he was apparently very familiar with this part of the Castle. It was a small one, but wide enough for the t "Are you really tired, your Highness?"

"Just a bit... With the Giants coming near, we have been holding meeting after meeting...
