The Princess's Dangerous Vampire Mate-Chapter 369: A quick breakfast - I

I wanted to go to Tristan and tell him everything but then I realized that we had been into the day for quite a long time and it was early afternoon. I could not find any vampire around me so I did not bother leaving my room. Merelyn occupied the guest bedroom and I want to sleep beside Catherine.

It took me some time to fall asleep because I was focusing on my sister. How long has it been since we had been in bed together and I had told her an imaginary story about what had happened or just told her one of the memories I had of our mother?

It had been too long for us to be sisters and just enjoy a few moments together. So much that happened for both of us that had matured us beyond our years which was not fair to little Catharine. She should have had the opportunity to live her life to the fullest.

I must a fallen asleep while staring at Catherine, because it was Irene who woke me up at midnight.

My sister was already awake and had gone into the bad, enjoying the supply of hot water here.

"Would you like me to bring your midnight Mihir? Your sister has decided for the same."

"Hmm." I nodded but then remembered that I still have to tell Tristan everything. Deciding against dining with my sister, I told her my answer and also told her to tell Merelyn to eat with Catherine.

I used the smaller bath in my apartment. Since my sister had very graciously used to the one I had been allotted.

My lady in waiting made sure that I was ready for the king and the audience in the palace. For Someone who was to be crowned the Queen of the country, I always had to be my best.

Just as I descended the stairs, Tristan appeared in front of me and held out his hand. I placed mine in his without a single thought and that did not escape my notice.

"How was your day?" He asked me. "I heard that you were wake with your sister well into the day."

"I-We were." I nodded. "I just got to know what happened with her."

"Ah."

"Yes." I stopped at the floor and waited before telling him. "Catherine could not tell me a lot because she did not have the knowledge of what happened behind the curtains. A lady in waiting was staying with her in the village that you found again. Her name is Laura and I want to know more, we need her."

"Laura." He repeated the name and shared a look with solomon. "You sister did not tell us if anyone was living with her."

A sad smile came to my lips as I replied, "there is a reason for that. Catherine was happy enough to be rescued, and when she saw soldiers in royal uniform, she took her chance and left. She momentarily forgot about Laura, and was almost went into hysterics when she remember to what she had done."

"I see." He took my hand and led me to the dining room instead of just standing at the bottom of the stairs. Once seated and after the food was served, he angled his head towards me. "What else did she tell you?"

For a moment, I wanted to say nothing, but I remember that Tristan could always tell whenever I lied. The look he gave me said exactly the same. If I would lie, he would catch on immediately.

So, I answered him the best I could. "It was practically nothing. She told me about her experience of how she was taken by Laura from the palace by the basement, how she traveled for days outside the capital and settled into a village. They had a threat that Laura took care of in a... Bloody way and then then they traveled again, but this time it was close to the border where you found her I guess." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"That was it?" He frowned.

Just like me, even Tristan had expected more from my sister, but you forgot that Katherine was shielded by me and Estelle. It meant that she was not exactly smart at work came to observations.

"Yes, throw in a little bit of more details and this was the entire story. This is why I think we should have Laura come in here and tell us what happened. I just wanted to know if my eldest sister knew about this or not. I mean I think she did because if not then the entire Palace would have been searching for Catherine and I would have heard about it somehow because Sir Walter still keeps track of what is happening in Melenmore."

If Estelle knew about this, then this was going to be a problem between her and me. That’s when was too young for this, and she could have sent her to a distant relative instead. They would have taken better care of the princess of the country rather than just a lady waiting to be all alone with Katherine. Not even a guard had been sent with her. What was my sister thinking if she was behind this?

"Laura, the maid will be found as soon as possible. Solomon is already on it and I think by the end of the night or maybe tomorrow, she will be brought to the palace." He said before pointing to my food. " please start eating and where is Katharine?"

"She chose to dine upstairs. I think she is still a little bit conscious of how she’s going to eat. You cannot expect her to eat in the company of people when she has been starving for so long. Please excuse her at the moment."

I saw how she ate yesterday when she was with Marilyn and me. She was hungry and did not pay attention to the etiquettes that had been installed into us at a very young age. I did not care much of it and Marilyn ignore It is well, but might not look good in front of the rest of the people living here.

He nodded and as I started eating, he followed.
