Bad feeling

Several hours later.

When the door opened, Evie nearly burst out in a smile at the sight of Leon standing tall and stiff next to her father. But she immediately bit down on her lip instead because someone she did not expect came along with them. The crown prince was also here! What was he doing here?

Not forgetting to continue on with her acting, Evie was quick to greet the vampire prince. "Greetings to you, Your Highness." Evie addressed him with a small curtsey. She hoped in her heart that her actions showed enough respect mixed in with the slight fear that she supposedly had of vampires.

"I am really relieved that you are fine and well, My Lady," Caius smiled genially at her as he reached out and took her hand and was about to kiss it when Evie suddenly snatched her hand back. She was caught off guard at what the prince just did. Her eyes were wide and showed a slight alarm in them.
