Slowly, Leon loosened his grip on her wrist and finally he let her go. He cleared his throat as he apologetically averted his gaze away. His angry expression softened. "Forgive me, I thought you were trying to run away." His voice was gentle and apologetic as well.

Zanya loosened up after hearing his apology and she stepped a few steps away. "It's alright, I guessed I'm to blame too for not letting anyone know where I'm going."

Leon watched her flew up and then she started picking fruits. The vampire felt his cheeks grew warm as he felt embarrassed at what he did.

…

Back in the castle, Evie was deep asleep and was still immersed in her dream.

Evie started to move about and make soft sounds in her sleep that the vampires who were on guard outside of her door were immediately silenced. Though the sounds she was making were barely audible, vampires with their enhanced hearing had no issues picking it up clearly.

They could hear her uttering the prince's name and all their faces became sullen. In all the past nights that had passed without prince Gavriel, they always hear the princess sleep talking and calling out his name. At first, the men were so worried that they had to send Elias to wake her up, but the princess just would not wake up until her dream was deemed to be over. They had found it quite strange but then, Zolan remembered about what the princess had told him about her dreams. That in their family, dreams are not just dreams.

So, the men could only wait and just watch over her closely. And somehow, when they stopped trying to wake her up, she eventually woke up on her own.

They were worried every time they hear her calling for the prince in her dreams because it seemed as though her dream was not truly a dream but a nightmare. However, when the princess assured them that the prince was well and alive, they were relieved. But still, they could not help but wonder about what the princess was actually seeing in her dreams and why did she always sound so distressed whenever she calls out the prince name.

"I wonder where's prince Gavriel right now," Levy asked in a quiet voice. Since they met their prince, they were almost inseparable. Wherever Gavriel goes, they were always there except when he goes into his confinement inside the dungeon. And that was why all of them had been quite shaken when their prince was not with them anymore. If the princess was not there, they could not even imagine what would have happened to them now or where they would be. Though they were certain that without the princess, they would have already returned without hesitation and no matter how dangerous it was that very same night to look for their prince when he did not arrive at the agreed time.

Zolan did not speak. He had all sort of theories in his head already as he could not help but think about all the possibilities on why he did not follow them. He even thought about how he even managed to stay alive and where the hell was he right now. But he could not come up with a satisfying theory so he could not say a thing about this. It was better for them to just believe in the princess, that the prince was somewhere out there, and he is alive and was doing well. It was better than trying to think about the hows and whys.

Realizing that Zolan would not say a thing about this matter as usual, Levy could only zip his mouth again. Zolan liked to express whatever theory he had but about the prince's whereabouts and why he did not follow them, he was unusually refusing to say what he thought, and Levy could not help but feel a little bothered by this man's unusual silence.

As Levy leaned against the wall, he heard the princess' voice again and he could not help but feel bad for the princess. He guessed that she must be missing her husband really badly now and that was why she kept on dreaming about him.

…

Inside the room, Evie was still unable to break free from her dream. 

Her body was paralyzed as she looked at Gavriel. Her lips trembled, her heart threatening to burst in happiness as she was finally seeing him again. She had missed him so much. She swept her eyes over his tall and lean form as she breathed with gladness upon seeing that he was alright. As she looked closer, she noticed his eyes were not red nor silvery grey. It was that vivid blue that seemed to be holding the devil's fire inside them.

"G-gavriel!" she called out and he flashed her that devastating smile. Evie dropped her weapons and was about to run to him, but he suddenly disappeared.

"No, don't disappear on me again, please. I've missed you so much! Where are you?" she cried out, frantically searching for him.

Her eyes filled with longing and every intense emotion as her heart sank when she could not find him. "Gavriel!?" she weakly called his name as she was about to fall to her knees.

Then everything turned dark before she found herself inside a room lit up by candles and she was… being pinned on the wall. Before her was the man she was looking for just a while ago. He was staring hard at her and his eyes filled with desire and lust and hunger… he looked even more wicked than ever. Was it because his eyes were blue that he looked much more dangerous?

"Evielyn…" Gavriel called her name with that deep and seductive voice she had missed so much and for so long. And he was looming so closely to her as if he was going to kiss her. Then his whisper came. "Tell me. Why you didn't keep your promise?"

And everything turned dark again.
