Once Lucas was gone, Catherine went to sit on the bed. Her mind was still in a daze at what Lucas Just did. She still felt warm even at the absence of his embrace.
She was hoping he'd tell her the answers to the three questions she had ask, even though to her, one of the questions was a bit sensitive. She took in a deep breath and was about to lie down and rest when her handmaids walked in head bow. Maida and Zoey bowed their heads.
Milady, her highness wants to see you. Zoey said head bowed.
" You may let her in". Catherine said and the maids bowed their heads before leaving.
Catherine was still sitting on the bed when Lady Clara walked in with a bright smile on face. Her green eyes sparkling brightly as ever.
"Good day lady Catherine!" Lady Clara greeted bowing head.
Catherine also stood up and greeted her with a head bow.
What a pleasant surprise visit. Lady Catherine said with a smile.
Oh I'm so sorry , did I disturb you? She asked with an innocent smile.
No no, I was just about to sleep when you came. Catherine said calmly.
It's okay,that's not why I am here. She said with a smile. Uhm, where is prince Lucas? She asked while her gaze scanned the room as if searching for something.
Catherine was about to respond when she remembered her husband words not too get too close to the royal family. And the reason was way visible. They are vampires! ! She screamed in her head.
Should she directly ask the princess if they ...??? She shook her head as if warning her self from being too forward. And moreover, Lucas has warned her not to start up a conversation with them or to even avoid them.
"He went out but he will soon be back".
Oh I see, hope you are enjoying your stay here? Clara asked.
Yes lady Clara. Catherine smiled.
That's good to hear, uhm, should we visit the market tomorrow? Clara asked.
Oh the market? Catherine asked as though she didn't hear the first time.
Yes Lady Catherine but if you'd be busy, we can always postpone it. Clara suggested meaningfully.
Catherine didn't know what to say, especially now that everyone sees her husband as an out cast. And they hates him. And also she didn't want to let this girl know she and her husband will be leaving the castle tonight, for some unknown reason, she has a feeling that this girl is a pretentious fellow, only seeking for unnecessary attention.
When Lady Clara noticed that Catherine was slowly taking time to respond to her, she began to get impatient.
At first, she thought Lady Catherine was being wary of her but now she can sense that the lady is definitely hiding something from her.
Is everything the matter Lady Catherine? Clara asked in a calm tone but behind those voice, was a hint of displeasure.
Uhm, no I mean yes. I just need to cool my head. For some reasons I miss home. She lied.
Clara observed her for a while before slowly nodding.
Alright lady Catherine, do have a blessed nap. Clara said and Catherine smiled at her and they both bowed at each other before Clara left the room. The moment she left there, her green eyes turned red.
Her fangs were bare ready to pounce on any prey.
She began walking faster on the corridor when all of a sudden, a hand grabbed her to to the other side of the hallway.
Clara! ! It was her mother. Queen Riley.
Don't tell me you want to drink one of the maids blood? Her mother yelled angrily but Clara was unfazed.
And so? What's so special about an ordinary maid's life???
*Slap*!
Her mother gave her a resounding hot slap across her face.
Clara clenched her jaws tightly as she felt a tinge of tears in her eyes.
Why? She asked with a broken voice.
We can't let that monster's wife find out what we are. Her mother said calmly rubbing her daughter's cheeks that was slightly red.
Oh really, you mean Catherine? I doubt she will handle the truth. Clara said.
Just forget about her and focus on Oliver. Her mother said and Clara smiled sheepishly.
But what if the king finds out why I'm clinging to Prince Oliver, won't I be forced to get married? Clara asked worriedly.
Nope dear, as far as I am the king's favorite, he will listen to me and that's final. Queen Riley said all smiles.
Thanks mum, let me go and see him. She said and her mother just smiled while Clara went to see prince Oliver.
In the huge garden,
Prince Levi was swinging his sword in the air when he heard a clashing sound.
He held his sword tightly as the opponent had hit his sword with such force that made him stared at his opponent and he couldn't help but smirk wickedly.
Oh, you wanna play? He asked twirling his sword in the air.
Lucas swing Levi's sword that he was twirling in the air and that irked him as he took slash back, but he missed cutting through thin air. He glared coldly at Lucas and wish he could just kill this man.
Don't feel threatened BROTHER. Lucas said the last part mockingly.
I'm not your brother. He groaned throatily and loudly as he swing his sword at Lucas, but Lucas dodged it with ease.
This will be the first and last time you have a conversation with my wife. Lucas warned and this time, his sword was on Levi's neck.
Levi gulped and couldn't help but chuckle, oh being overall possessive- I see. But it won't be bad if I feed on her as my night meal. Levi chuckle darkly.
Lucas clenched his fists tightly as he could feel the bloodlust slowly oozing out of him; but he calmed down even though the urge to fight him was high with the way he was talking about his wife in a rude manner, but knowing his brother so well ,he is up to no good. He already has a plan up his sleeves except he suspects that he li leaving the castle tonight, cause why on earth will he try to rile him up by using his wife as a topic???
