Capítulo 60: Midnight conversations

Hadeon continued his bedtime story in a serious voice, "So what happens is that the vampire attends a ball after this huge makeover, that is, he turns into a human from a vampire. And then, while dancing, he meets this princess, who is a human."

"He and the princess fall in love? And he loses his shoe?" Mallory asked with a roll of her eyes. She then turned to lay on her side while facing Hadeon. 

"Shh. Are you the storyteller or am I?" Hadeon chided Mallory gently, fixing her with a playful glare. "So, the vampire and the princess enjoy their time at the ball, and all seems well until the next morning—when the princess is found dead, and a pair of fangs are left behind at the scene of the crime."

"Wow," Mallory murmured, her tone dry as she noted the typical dark twist only a story from Hadeon could take.

Hadeon couldn't suppress a soft puff of pride. "I knew it would stun you."
