Bab 237: Salvation

Before anyone could say anything, Abi heard Alice calling for her, so she left, leaving Elle and Alicia alone together in the room. 

The silence was heavy for a long while and somehow, Elle could tell Alicia must be weighing her options on whether she should answer that question or not. Elle could feel that the topic was something hard even for Alicia. So she just looked down and waited patiently. She did not want to pressure Alicia at all to answer her. 

"Elijah…" Elle started in a soft voice. "He told me his story. On why he hated Sebastian so much. He said that it was Prince Ezekiel who had driven his mother insane until she… she killed herself. And then… he told me Prince Ezekiel had tried to drive him insane too. All because Prince Ezekiel couldn't accept that Elijah was the one the prophetess saw in her vision to be king of vampires one day."
