It was a death ceremony

"Where is Princess Elliana?" Vincenzo asked one of the maids when he didn't find her in their assigned room or with any of the moms in the hall.

"The princess went to the terrace, sir," The maid bowed, and Vincenzo sighed.

He used his vampire speed to rush to the terrace. Every second was precious right now if he wanted to talk to her alone.

As soon as he reached the terrace, he looked at the girl who was standing near the railings of the terrace. Her stance screamed loneliness like she didn't belong there.

Her long hair was braided in a single pigtail. However, even after that, he could see long strands of loose hair moving in the direction of the wind.

Her sundress that reached below her knees was also moving slightly with the direction of the wind, and he sighed.
