Lilith stood still on the ground. The person she came to kill was being killed by the reason she wanted to kill him.
Of course, this didn't make her move a step forward as she decided to hear the person who was behind this.
"Hahahaha, you would never have expected this right? Brother."
Inside the room was a young lean man sitting leisurely with his leg crossed, and on his hand was a long sword whose end was in the chest of another man who was kneeling in front of him.
The second man was in obvious pain, while the first man, was the same third prince, and on his face was the maniac and hideous smile.
"It is father." The third prince declared and it was silent again.
Just when Lilith was considering whether to go back or not, the third prince continues.
"Everyone that has a part in Duke Edward's death must die, no secrets about this were to be leaked. So dear brother, don't worry, as other princes are coming to join you soon."
It was silent again before the first prince finally opened his mouth.
"You... you'll suffer your retribution." Then the prince inhaled his last breath.
Lilith was so shocked that she didn't hear that the third prince was walking to the door at all, and by the time she recovered her sense, the prince will soon open the door, thus, she fled.
The third prince frowned as he caught sight of a red gown that disappeared into a corner.
"Damn it, someone heard!" He frown and started to give chase.
Even though the corridor was dark, the guards patrolled around frequently, thus, he can only hide his Vampire strength.
Just as he was about to catch up to the lady, guards stopped in front of him, bowing in respect.
"Your Highness did something happen?."
The third prince's eyes turned red instantly and pain could be visible through it.
"There was an assassin in the palace... And she had killed my first brother!"
The guards were shocked as they also managed to catch the brief red dress but no one expect the person to be an assassin.
"Chase her!" The commander of the guards commanded and the guards departed to search for the woman.
"Shit, I am nearly caught." Lilith thought.
Now she was left alone.
Estelle's power of disappearance was in cool down and thus, Lilith was by herself.
Soon, she realized that she has reached a dead end, and she sighed, not giving up on herself.
And thankfully, Estelle was still able to transform her back into a rabbit.
The guards were shocked when they saw a rabbit looking at them.
In fact, nothing seems strange but just to be careful, the commander decided to roast the rabbit.
There is no harm in doing this after all.
"Kill that rabbit." He commanded and Lilith find herself cursing them.
She was such a cute little rabbit but they wouldn't let her go! What kind of damn men are these for goodness sake?!
Seeing that they were coming for her, Lilith didn't have a choice but to enter one of the rooms at the side.
She passed through the tiny hole at the door and look inside.
A man was sitting with his back facing her.
His long blond hair was tied up by a hairpin, and it flowed down to his waist. No doubt, he is also a royal. After all, which commoner or young master has the time to be taking care of their hair till it would be that long? Even longer than Lilith's.
Just as Lilith was staring at the man, a knock was heard on the door and she nimbly jump into the man's lap.
'No matter who he was, he definitely wouldn't kill me right?' She thought.
A young servant boy came out of one of the connected doors inside the room, and glancing at the rabbit on the man's lap, he shook his head. Why do all animals always deliver themselves to the man first? His Highness's charm can even attract such a cute animal!
He then briskly walked to the door and open it.
The servant boy has yet to even ask who they were asking for when the guards kneel in trepidation.
"We're sorry to disturb His Highness." Then they all immediately scampered away.
As a matter of fact, if the third prince was referred to as a demon, then the ninth prince is definitely the devil.
Born from a mere maid and the king, he was such a lowly birth, though worthy of their respect but not to the extent, but what could they do when he has the power that could shake even the king?
"Oh, such a cute kitten." The young servant mumbled, looking at the rabbit one last time before walking back to the room he came from. He was sure that he would be ordered to cook it soon.
Sighing silently, Lilith was about to jump out of the man's lap when he suddenly placed his palm on her skin.
