119 She Loves Him

Vivian’s POV 2

Alice thought for a moment and then nodded, "Sure, let's go to your tent to talk."

"Then let's go now." After saying this, Alen limped his way to the entrance of Prince Kral's tent. He raised his hand to beckon the nearby patrolling soldiers, instructing them to guard Prince Kral's tent.

After ensuring that Prince Kral wouldn't be disturbed during his rest, Alen turned around and pointed towards his own tent, saying to Alice, "Ma'am, my tent is this way. Please follow me."

"Vivian, let's go together," Alice said to me, and then walked towards the exit of Prince Kral's tent.

I didn't want to go to Alen's tent, but I also couldn't stay alone in Prince Kral's tent. After some inner conflict, I decided to follow Alice.

Regardless, I trusted that Alice would protect me.

Guided by Alen, both Alice and I entered his tent. Alen's tent was located right next to Prince Kral's, and while it was slightly smaller, it was still spacious and comfortable.

Due to Alen's injuries, he couldn't attend to us himself. He called for his attendants to bring some snacks and drinks.

The attendants quickly brought what Alen had requested. As they placed the snacks and drinks on the table, I noticed that they were all things I loved to eat.

"Please, have a seat," Alen said as he took a chair beside the table. Alice sat down first, and I took the seat right next to her. Alen looked at Alice and asked, "Ma'am, I'm not sure how to address you."

"You can call me Alice," Alice replied. "I am Vivian's master. Vivian must have mentioned me to you."

"Yes, she has mentioned you many times. She speaks highly of you," Alen glanced at me and said, "Vivian, I need to discuss something with your master. If you find it boring, feel free to eat and pass the time."

After speaking, Alen pushed the snacks and drinks toward me.

Although I didn't want to engage with him, the tempting food in front of me proved hard to resist, and I reached for a piece of pastry, nibbling on it slowly.

"Alice, I assume you probably know what's going on," Alen continued, shifting his attention back to Alice. "If you can, I'd appreciate any advice you can give me on what to do."

"I've used some magic and seen a few things, but the details are not entirely clear to me," Alice replied. "For instance, Delia, Kral is so desperate to rescue her. What exactly happened to her?"

"Delia..." As Alice mentioned Delia, I noticed Alen clenching his jaw. "She stabbed herself in the chest with a dagger in order to save His Highness. She bled profusely. We don't know if she's still alive."

"What?!" Hearing Alen's words, I dropped the pastry I was holding, and I stood up abruptly. "Delia did something like that? Where is she? I need to save her!"

"Delia was taken away by the vampire, Albert." Seeing my agitation, Alen also stood up quickly. He reached out to try and grab me, but I evaded his touch. Alen spoke with a somber expression, "Vivian, it is not the time for temper tantrums. We should figure out a plan together. While his Highness is still asleep, we need to come up with a way to persuade him. If we can't convince him, he will undoubtedly go to great lengths to save Delia."

Alen's words brought me back to a more rational state of mind. He was right. The most crucial thing now was to find a way to rescue Delia safely.

At the same time, we needed to ensure Kral's safety. His injuries were severe, and he couldn't engage in any more battles.

"You're right. Delia's safety comes first." After grasping this, I quietly sat back down.

Although the snacks and drinks were still in front of me, I had lost my appetite completely. I focused all my attention on the conversation between Alen and Alice.

"I never thought Delia would do something like that."

While I was conversing with Alen, Alice remained silent. I had assumed she was contemplating solutions to our predicament.

However, when she finally spoke, her question caught me completely off guard. "Vivian, are you absolutely sure Delia didn't consume a love potion?"

"I'm certain she didn't," I shook my head firmly, providing a resolute response.

"This is truly unbelievable." Upon hearing my answer, Alice wore an expression of utter astonishment.

"To save Kral's life, she willingly plunged a dagger into her own chest. Without having consumed a love potion, she values her love for Prince Kral more than her own life. This surpasses the bounds of reason!"

Alice's words made me realize why she was so shocked.

I believed Delia's choice came from the heart, and she could love Prince Kral to this extent!

"Alice, what should we do now?" Alen asked softly.

I could see that after Alice's previous statement, Alen was equally stunned. Looking at his expression, I felt like I was seeing my own reflection.

"Let's go back to Prince Kral's tent," Alice decided after a moment of thought and stood up. "We can't delay any longer in rescuing Delia. I must speak to Prince Kral about this."

"Master, you just cast a sleep spell on Prince Kral, and he will sleep for quite a while," I curiously remarked, then suddenly remembered something.

"Wait, you're not going to lift the spell, are you?"

"You're correct. I need to lift the sleep spell now," Alice responded. She then headed towards the tent entrance. Alen and I exchanged a glance, and after a silent agreement, we followed Alice's steps back to Prince Kral's tent.

Alice stood by Prince Kral's bedside and chanted a spell. Soon, Prince Kral awakened.

He shook his head gently and, upon recalling what had transpired, struggled to sit up once more. Though he didn't say anything, I could tell he was determined to rescue Delia.

"Your Highness, please calm down," Alen realized what Prince Kral intended to do. He gently helped Prince Kral sit up but didn't assist him in getting out of bed.

"There's something I must tell you. Delia did not consume a love potion."

"What love potion?" Due to Alen's interruption, Prince Kral seemed calmer than before. He turned to Alen with a puzzled expression and asked, "What is that?"

"Vivian, can you explain?" Alen was at a loss and turned to me for help.

"Your Highness, in simple terms, a love potion is a substance that, when consumed, makes a specific person fall in love with the one who administers it," I explained to Prince Kral. "For a while, Delia felt insecure because she thought you didn't love her. So, she asked me for a love potion, hoping you'd fall in love with her. However, she didn't actually drink it."

After I finished explaining, Prince Kral fell into a deep silence.

"Your Highness?" Alen thought Prince Kral might not be feeling well and asked softly, "Are you feeling unwell? I can call the doctor right now."

"No need, I'm fine," Prince Kral shook his head, declining Alen's offer. He sighed and changed the subject, "Delia, what a silly girl she is. She actually believed I didn't love her. If I truly didn't love her, why would I keep her by my side? And if I didn't love her, she wouldn't willingly hurt herself for me. She's too naive!"

I could hear the undertone in Prince Kral's words, which sounded like he was complaining about Delia, but it was quite the opposite.

His words tugged at my heartstrings. Prince Kral and Delia loved each other so deeply, yet they went through such hardships.

They truly had it rough!

"If I'm not mistaken, this lady must be Vivian's master, right?" Just as I was feeling emotional, Prince Kral shifted his attention to Alice. After Alice nodded, Prince Kral continued, "Since you're here, I assume you're acquainted with the vampire Albert. You're Vivian's master. You must have heard about Delia's mother's situation. I hope you can help me. What do I need to do to rescue Delia? I'm willing to pay any price, even my life!"
